JUSTICE WRITES
TO MAN HUNT
Department Feels Its Work
in Lindbergh kidnapping
Is Completed.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Department of justice has writ
ten finis to a manhunt it pur-ued uS-
ceasinQly for more than two and LII
years, ever since the night In MS:ch,
1892, the Lindbergh baby was "Tl~1
from its crib.
The department considers its work
done now that Bruno Richard Haupt-
mann has been indicted for extortlon
and murder in connection with the
Lindbergh kidnapping.
I'VE have nothing more to do" SAID
William I. Stanley, assistant to the
Attorney General.
Alright Case Seen.
Some Department of Justice agents
feel that an alright case Of extortlon
has been built up against the German
stowaway carpenter, while the murder
case against him is more circumstan-
tial. They are understood to believe,
therefore, the wiser course would be
to proceed with the stronger case first.
No hint Of any friction, however,
was contained in the statement with
which the Department Of Justice
wound up its active part In the case
last night.
In view of the fact" the statement
said, that an indictment charging
Hauptmann with extortion was re-
turned by the Bronx County grand
jury in New York on September 26,
and an indictment for murder was re-
turned on October 8, in Hunterdon
County. N. j., and as no Federal in
dictment is being sought. the active
participation of the Department OF
Justice in connection with the Lind
bergh kidnapping case has been
brought to q conclusion.
Information ObtainabIe.
"Any information in the possession
of the Department Of Justice desired
by either the New York or New Jer-
sey authorities, will be available
whenever needed. Should the authori-
ties in either of these Jurisdictions, in
continuing their activities in the Lind
bergh case, have occasion to utilize the
facilities of the Division of InVestiga-
ton, the fullest cooperation will be
accorded.
The withdrawal announcement
came about the time Gov. Lehman
of New York was ordering Haupt-
mann's extradition at the request Of
New Jersey, but it was said that the
announcement was in preparation
before the Governors action.
The department announced that it
had traced S46,6 ,681 through the hands
of Hauptmann since the $4,000 ran
som payment was made by DR.. John
F. (Jafsie) Condor on April 2, 1892.
OF this S2e, ,ol6 was found to have
been deposited by Hauptmann in
banks and brokerage houses. Justice
agents could not establish definitely
that this was part of the ransom.
Ransom Bills Located.
Before Hauptmann's arrest, s5oe5
in ransom bills were located. He had
a $40 ransom bill when arrested and
s14,600 of the ransom money was
found on his premises. The depart
ment said 1t also had found that
Hauptmann spent $3.50 for a radio,
field glasses, silver ware and payment
of bills
The department said that three
bank and two brokerage accounts had
been maintained either in the name
of Hauptman or of his wife.
The records, it added, were not sum-
GENTLY complete, save with minor
exceptions" to disclose the nature of
the actual deposits or the serial
numbers or other identifying nature
of the bills used.

FARM CASH SEEN

the November elections. in the opin-
ion Of Chester c. Davis. farm admin
istrator, but. he added, these pay
ments should be characterized as
earned income" and not subsidies. 4"
At the same time W. Forbes Nor
gan, deputy governor of the Farm
Credit Administration. announced
that loans totaling i,o57, 900 for about
81, 300 5000 were made TO farmers
by the Farm Credit Administration
during the is months ended Ssptem-
Der l.
Most OF the total, Morgan said,
was loaned directly to farmers on Sc
curity Of first mortgages by Federal
land banks and on first and second
mortgages by the land bank commits
sioner. About sl,00o,000 900 has been
issued in mortgage loans since jan
uary l.
Short Term Credit Given.
OF the remainder the largest per-
centage was in short-term produc-
ton and marketing credit extended to
individual farmers by production
credit associations within counties
and regional agricultural credit cor
porations. Emergency crop and feed
loans made to farmers in drought
stricken areas accounted for only q
small part Of the grand total.
In addition to these loans approxi-
mately 400 900 borrowers from Federal
land banks who had loans outstanding
when the Farm Credit Administration
was organized have obtained reduc-
tions in interest and postponement of
principal payments for the next few
years, Morgan said.
Regarding the political effect of
farm benefits, Davis said, in answer to
question, II think that increasing
farm income always has some effect
on an election. think it is evident
now that the administration is doing
something positive about the farm
problem.
Always Enters Politics.
'For II years I have been working
on that problem and always it has
been something of q political ques-
ton"
Asked concerning the declaration of
Chairman Fletcher Of the Republican
National Committee that payments are
being made at the rate of 81 900 900
per day, Davis replied, they have been
running higher than that ever since
We have had q backlog Of contracts
available for payment"
Benefit payments, he added, "are
not subsidies. They are q part Of the
farmers earned income. The proc
essing tax is as much a part of the
earned income of the farmer as the
market price he receives.
There Is no element Of subsidy
about it."

The latest tabulations by the
r. F. c. and F. r. B. are incredible,
but Official. On october 6, the r. F. c.
had exactly $2,357,000 outstanding in
loans of this character. On october 8,
the F. r. B. total was 50 467 900. Add
them together and you And that the
Government unfroZe the capital mar
ket to the tune Of $4,824,0 up to
very recent dates.
Lacking in Temperature.
The heat from that would not be
enough to unfreeze an ice cream cone
on a July day.
1t is so bad you cannot blame
the Government agencies for try
inc to make it look little better
by giving more prominence to the
amount OF loans authorized, in
stead OF loans actually made. The
R. F. c. has authorized about
tUelUe millions and the F. R. B.

made later, the scope OF success
Would be tWenty-seUen millions,

ture.
There is just one reason for this
human nature That is one Of the
few things which cannot be changed
by ballyhoo. In the first place, no
honest government official Is going
to make a bad loan, II he can detect
that it is bad. Certainly, Jesse Jones
and the Federal Reserve Boarders are
not. No one knows how many appli-
cations Jones has turned down, but
there are figures to show that, out Of
the first 2,8o0 applications received
by the F. r. B., about 1900 (nearly
half were rejected. The reasons
were that the borrowers could not
offer good collateral, were not in good
financial condition or were ineligible.
Reason for Borrowing.
In the second place, no business
man with good collateral or in good
financial condition is going to borrow
money from the Government or any
one else unless he thinks he is going
to make a profit out Of using the
money.
This current experience Is
rather conclusive indication that
the people Dho pant to bring back
prosperity BY artificial credit er-
panSion are trying to make the
horse run backward.
All the credit in the ,Uorld will
not moUe bobbin industry unless
1t is accompanied BY expectations
of future business profits.
The State Department has not been
so frightened since the World War as
when the first news of the assassina-
ton of King Alexander came through,
The identity Of the aSsassins was not
known Gray hairs turned white be-
cause every one feared Italian SYM
pathizers might be involved. That
would have meant war.
Italy has been subject to bitter
attack in the Yugoslav press lately,
even to remarks criticizing the bravery
of Italian soldiers. The French were
bringing Alexander to Paris in hopes
Of effecting a reconciliation for him
with MuSsolini.
All the insiders conjured up the pos
sibllities of troops marching before
nightfall, with no stops at the border
line.
Inner Tension Relaxes.
The inner tension relaxed when
word came that the guilty were Croat
revolutionistS. The worst our officials
expected then was Civil War in Yu-
goslavia.

Daily every afternoon the youngsters prance over to the clubrooms to pass away their leisure time. 1t was an- nounced by the temporary presi- dent, Joe Hayes, that when their new quarters open next week, a show will be given. It is hoped also that those who attend spare a few pennies to help the young sters outfit their newly acquired club rooms. A group of the young members will pay a visit to the plant of the Waterbury Democrat in the near future to see how their favorite paper is daily compobsed.
 The Christmas fair of the Mill Plian Union church was a huge success. Sales of articles took place last night with many in at- tendance, and the articles were sold in less than an hour and. a half. Rev Joseph O. Todd ex- pressed his thanks and apprecia-
 ion for the great cooperation re- ceived from the community during the two day event.

A sharp personal exchange be- tween Attorney Fred Bauby and Attorney Joseph Guilfoile at a city court hearing today, during which Attorney Bauby charged that tes- timony had been 'instigated" and the latter retorted with You're a Uar," led to a threat by Judge Iphn F. McGrath to expel both lawyers from the courtroom.
 The hearing of the case in ques- ton, a motion brought by Attorney Guilfoile for reduction in week ly payments by Nicholas Pugliese, Sof Chatfield avenue, local barber, who was found guilty of non-sup- port several months ago, ended to- day with Attorney Guilfoile mak- Ing the claim that his client was being treated unfairly. The case was continued till Wednesday for Exposition.
 = Reduction Opposed - Charges and counter-charges flew thick and fast all during the Rearing, with Attorney Bauby op- posing the other lawyers plea for Ga reduction in the $5 weekly which he was ordered at a prevl- 0is city court session to pay his wife. Testimony during the hear ing revealed that Attorney Bauby, new representing the wife, had once represented the husband, and Attorney Guilfoile, now represent ing the husband, had once acted for the wife.
 Pugliese's son, stepson of the present wife, was on the stand when the fireworks started. On direct examination by Attorney Guilfoile, he testified that his father made only about six dollars a week, working in the barber shop, which he (the son) operates.
 "Didn't you tell me a different story when you came to my office a few monts ago?" asked Attorney Bauby. The son denied that he had.
 More Fireworks
 It was shortly afterward that Attorney Bauby declared: "A lot of this has been instigated by this mans (Pugliese) attorney"
 You're a liar," said Attorney Guilfoile, raising his voice.
 "He did instigate a lot of this trouble, said Attorney Bauby again.
