NEW EVIDENCE BROUGHT FORTH 4
TO BOLSTER KIDNAP CHARGES

mann had been identified as a
man who used Tybee Island, near
Savannah, in 1882 and 1893, pos
sibly as a refuge" after the kid
naping. Mrs Hauptmann and Hans
Mueller, a nephew, also were at
the island.
2. A detective carried into the
grand jury room a long piece of
lumber, wrapped in a blanket. It
was believed to be part of the
kidnap ladder.
3. Eight pairs Of shoes in a black
bag were locked up under guard at
District Attorney Samuel Foley's
office. They were taken from the
Hauptmann home and were similar
in proportions comparable to those
of foot prints found outside the
Lindbergh home and at the ransom
scene.
d A shoe box was presented to
the grand jury to support charges
that Hauptmann passed the ran
som money. He said he discovered
it. among a dead friends belong
ingS. The shoes, purchased with a
$40 gold ransom certificate, were
bought by Hauptmann early this
month.
5. Hauptmann, appearing fresh
and rested, was taken from Jail
to Foley's office for further ques-
tioning.
Fawcett announced he was con-
vinced Hauptmann was innocent
of connection with the case, which
was a more positive statement than
he had previously made in behalf
of his client He said he had ques-
toned the prisoner Of all details
and knew he was telling the truth
because his private investigations
had checked various angles.
These Investigations included a
check of Hauptmann's alibi for the
night of the kidnapping, which was
that he called for his wife at a
bakery in the Bronx.

WALKERS NAME
TO APPEA ON
ELECTION LIST

The name of Clarence Walker will
appear on the November general
election ballot as Republican nom
inee for the post Of ASsemblyman,
it was learned here today.
This information was contained
in a telegram from Frank Jordan,
secretary of state, to w. S. Dunn,
chairman of the county Republican
central committee stating Walk
er's certificate of appointment as
Republican nominee for the Assem-
bly, had been received in Sacramen-
to and that his name would be on
the November ballot.
Walker will oppose John Scarbor-
ough who received the Democratic
nomination against Sam E. Robin
son, incumbent, in the primary cleo
ton.
! Robinson had received the nomin-
alton on the Republican ticket, but
being a registered Democrat and
failing to secure his own party's
nomination, he could not make the
race in November. Walker, West
morland rancher, agreed to run for
the post when approached on the
question by large group of repre-
sentative Republicans and Demo
Gratis of the county following the
August % primary election.

u. S. Chamber OF Commerce
Behind Request That President
Give Further Explanations.
SIX QUESTIONS PROPOSED
Recovery Of American Foreign
Trade Sought As Means To
Bring Back Prosperity.
SIX QUESTIONS PROPOSED

WASHINGTON, Sept. rs. W.P) -
President Roosevelt was asked to-
day by the U. S. Chamber of Com
merce for a clearer definition of ad
ADMINISTRATION policies with respect to
business, finance and agriculture.
The chambers suggestion follow
ed closely reports that President
Roosevelt soon would make another
of his famous fireside talks to the
nation.
Six pertinent questions were ask
ed by the chamber which 1t said
should be answered by the admins
tration in the interest of "restora-
ton" of confidence.
They were:
l. When and how is it proposed
to balance the federal budget?
g. Is it the intention OF the ad-
ministration further to reduce the
value Of the dollar; if so, then to
what figure and what shall be the
content of the dollar so reduced?
3. Will the administration at the
earliest opportune moment collabor
ate with other nations in an effort
to agree upon plan for the inter-
national sterilization of exchange?
4. Will the efforts of the admins
Nration be directed toward recovery
by the encouragement of business
initiative, with a minimum Of gov
eminent interference and control
and will it discontinue its activities
in competition with private enter
prise?
s.. What is the administration
policy toward agriculture?
6. Is it the policy of the admins
tration to continue the construction
and development of public works
rot needed?
Chairman James A. Farrell of the
foreign trade committee of the
chamber reported that personnel
changes were lessening the service
of the bureau of foreign and domes-
tic commerce.
Farrell declared the changes had
been disturbing to American com
panies which relied on the bureau
for aid in developing foreign bust
ness. He expressed hope for a re
turn of "some of its old time vigor
to the bureau.
He reported that all Indications
pointed to recovery of the American
foreign trade. The principal factor
in increasing expansion of the bust
ness will be reciprocal trade agree
ments, he said, but warned that SER
ious barriers to trade remained to
be attacked.

THREE FIRES
ABOARD SHIP
SAYS WI TNESS
Waterman OF IlI-Fated Moro
Castle Gives Testimony Before
Federal Board.

NEW YORK, Sept. 25. U.P) -
Three separate fires may have been
| burning aboard the Ward liner Nor
70 Castle the day it was destroyed,
Arthur j. Bender, head night
Waterman, testified today at the
department of commerce inquiry.
AS early as 1920 p. m, the night
before, Bender said he smelled gas,
oline or a cleaning fluid in the vi
cinity of the ships writing room
where the fire was believed to have
started. He assumed the stewards
were following their usual custom of
cleaning late the night before dock
ing and did not report the incident
Early the next morning he heard
screams and loud talking on the
hurricane deck. Investigating, he
noticed what he thought was spray
near the port ventilators. When he
made a closer inspection he discov-
cred it was smoke.
Bender hurried below to "B"
deck. AS he ran by the radio shack
he noticed it was 2:35 a. m. On "B'
deck he saw more smoke coming
from ventilatorS connected with
number two or three hold.
Bender said he went to the writ
ing room just as Daniel Campbell,
assistant beverage steward, opened
locker. A white cloud of smoke,
giving the appearance of chemical
fire puffed out OF the locker, the
witness said.
A few minutes later suites 206-208,
both unoccupied, burst into flames.
II think what happened in those
rooms will ultimately show how the
fire started" he said.
The testimony of previous wit
nesSeS had fixed the discovery of
smoke at few minutes before 3 a.
m, although one passenger said he
had been awakened by smoke about
12:45 a. m. Only one other witness
mentioned the possibility of a sepa-
rate fire in number three hold
which was said to be empty of car
go.

NEW YORK, Sept 25. (UP)-In-
Yestigators of the Lindbergh muir

Iron Clad Case
Despite claims by Hauptmann's
counsel that the defense had been
greatly strengthened by develop
ments today, District Attorney Fo-
ley considered the notations found
in Hauptmann's home as the final
link in an iron clad" case.
In addition, numbers were writ
ten in the closet which were defin-
itely connected with the serial num-
bers Of Lindbergh ransom bills.
Hauptmann admitted writing the
notations, Foley said, but explained
it by saying he was interested in
the Lindbergh case.
Later it was announced at Foley's
office that nails found at the
Hauptmann home were of exactly
the same type as the nails used in
making the ladder used by the kid
naper to remove the child from the
Lindbergh home. Previously, the
lumber in the ladder had been
traced to a Bronx firm, which at
one time employed Hauptmann.
NEW YORK, Sept. Is. U.P)-Bru-
no R. Hauptmann today reiterated
his innocence in the Lindbergh kid
naping and murder and appealed
to you people and to German Am
orleans to believe me and help me-
His statement was made through
his attorney, James NJ. Fawcett.
The attorney also said today that
the defense of the alleged kidnaper
was getting stronger every hour"

ENDORSEMENT
Of NEW DEAL
| n BALANCE
Supreme Court Will Soon Pass
On Policies Adopted By Ad-
miniStration.
BY JOHN A. REICHMANN
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON, Sept. Is. = Sup
porters of the New Deal look for
supreme court endorsement of the
administrations policies as the tri-
bunal prepares to meet for what
may prove one Of its most moment
Gus terms.
some realistic observers are
withholding judgment, however, in
the belief that the tribunal will be
influenced, consciously or uncon-
sciously, by the results of the No
vember elections.
The groundwork for judicial sup
port of the liberal legislation was
laid at the last term of the court
when, by the narrow margin of five
TO four decisions, the tribunal ap-
proved emergency legislation which
had been enacted by the states.
Hailed as an indication of the
trend of judicial thought on the
supreme bench, those in sympathy
with the New Deal looked to the
court to give its endorsement to
such phases of economic and none
tary control as the administration
has adopted into its program. That
was last spring.
Now, it is felt in many quarters,
the court may become more reluc-
tant to go against the conservative
policies which have prevailed in its
thought in recent years. Some OBJ
servers are inclined to contribute
this to a tendency Of the court to
keep one eye on the election re-
turns.
In other words, they believe that
if the administration suffers Sc
rious setback at the November cleo
tons, the chances of the court en-
dorsing more unprecedented New
Deal legislation will be materially
weakened. If the elections show Il
decided trend to the left or hearty
support of the administration, the
court will maintain the liberal line
of opinion it established at the last
term, they believe
Still others are of the belief that
the court consciously makes no note
of the trend in political thought.
The tendency of the tribunal to
veer with popular trends is aScrihed
by these observers to the inevitable
invasion Of even judicial minds by
the feeling of the masses.
