gan the tremendous task Of reha-
bilitating it's great industrial cities
in the Osaka and Kyoto prefecture
Relief workers estimated that
100000 persons needed food and
clothing. Wind and rain, beating
on the rice fields, destroyed 20 per
cent of the staple crop. Power plants
we're crippled and many cities were
without electricity. Thousands OF
persons we're thrown out of work by
damage to world famous manufac-
turing plants.

principal suffers in the disaster.
The list of injured reported officially
numbered 1889 persons.
The tidal waves which followed
the winds in from the Pacific across
central and southern Japan, washed
ashore hundreds of small fishing
boats and fifteen large coastal
steamers.
The storm had its heroes as well
as its victims. In Osaka, Masuji
Ashida, a school teacher, was hon
ored. Seeing the exit of his class
room collapsing, Ashida formed an
arch of his own body and supported
the falling walls until the children
had escaped. His crushed body was
dug from the wrecakge today.

Says Chairman.

The amount stipulated is the alb

needs of the community during the
coming year." Mr.. Brown said. The
figure was set by the fund board
following the findings of the budget
committee and the campaign execu-
tive committe, he declared.
This years goal is approximately
$4,000 more than was raised by
the fund a year ago.
Certain agencies among the thir-
ty-siX member organizations of the

G|BERSON MAY
AID STATE IN
DEANS TRIAL
Alleged Gang Member May
Be Called as Witness
in Murder Case.

Ernest (Red) Giberson, alleged
member of the bandit gang accused
of numbering Police Sergeant Lester
Jones during a garage robbery, may
be a states witness Monday in the
first degree murder trial of Edward
(Foggy) Dean.
With the first degree murder trial
recess over the weekend, Floyd
Mattice, chief deputy prosecutor,
declined to comment on the posi-
bility that Giberson will be brought
from Marion county jail, where he
is held awaiting trial, to testify.
Delay in arraigning GiberSon,
court attaches said, indicated the
state is holding him as witness to
connect Dean with the murder in
the Peoples Motor Coach Company
garage in February, 1888.
Giberson was connected with
Dean in testimony drawn from a
reluctant witness yesterday.
Visited Dean Home
According to Miss Alberta j.
AkerS, Negro maid at the Dean
home near Traders Point, Giberson
and four other men were at the
Dean home two or three days before
the murder. According to the wit
ness, Dean also was there.
The testimony of the 18-year-old
maid was the most damaging evil
dence produced during the day.
Efforts of Clyde Miller, defense
counsel, to have the girl express the
belief the men who visited the Dean
home shortly before the robbery
were rum runners or possibly dog
fanciers interested in buying some
of Mrs. Deans registered dogs,
failed.
None of the eight witnesses called
yesterday by the state definitely
connected Dean with the murder.
Fails to Identify Dean
Martin H. Wills, Negro, 1916 Co.
lumbia avenue. tire repairman at
the motor coach company garage,
who saw the bandit gang enter the
garage and witnessed the sub
machine gun murder of Sergeant
Jones from the door of his tire room,
said he could not identify the bandit
who stood with a machine gun
across his hips and fired burst of
bullets as Sergeant Jones stepped
in the garage doors.
Dean stared at the witness as Mr..
Mattice asked:
do you see in the court room the
man you saw with the submachine
gun?"
The dapper defendant relaxed in
his chair as the witness said he did
not.
Policeman on Stand
Policeman Willard Hawkins, 1927
North New Jersey street, was the
last of the states witnesses yester-
day. He was driving a radio patrol
car on the night of the murder
Seated in the front seat with him.
he testified, was Sergeant Jones.
A radio message, received while
the car was on Seventeenth street
east of College avenue, sent the
patrol squad to the motor coach
garage. Sergeant Jones alighted
first, officer Hawkins testified.
The witness declared Sergeant
Jones was moved down by machine
gun fire the instant he threw open
the garage doors. Hawkins said
Sergeant Jones had not drawn his
pistol.
Mr.. Hawkins said he could not
identify any of the bandits.
The trial will be resumed at $50
Monday morning.

might be dispatched 10 Germany III
an effort to locate another cache OF
ransom money. The S13,500 found
in Hauptmann's garage plus about
SIS 900 he is known to have spent,
leaves about $4,000 still unac-
counted for. Detectives believed
that some of this had been spent
without trace, but we're convinced
that somewhere, some place, a good
portion of it was hidden. Haupt-
mann's wife, who visited Germany
soon after the kidnapping, was ques-
toned as to the packages she car
ried there from New York. Police
did not say what information if any
she had given.
Planned Trip to Germany
The more detectives looked into
the past of the sly, sullen Teuton,
the more they were amazed by the
cunning mind behind an apparently
stupid exterior. They discovered he
had arranged settlement of criminal
charges that had been pending
against him in Germany since 1928,
end was prepared to return to his
native country in few weeks. Had
he left, the Lindbergh ransom
money would have gone with him,
ending at least temporarily and per-
haps forever. any possibility of a
solution of the kidnapping and muir
der.
Detectives located the brokerage
account through which Hauptmann.
began his market manipulations in
April. 1892. To explain why he
stopped working at the time the
ransom was paid and has not
worked since, and also his sudden
transformation from an unemployed
artisan who cound livelihood very
difficult. into a prosperous burgher
who could afford a European trip
for his wife, Hauptmann said he
had won steadily in Wall Street.
The brokerage account and sew
eral of his bank accounts were being
audited. Detectives were noncom-
municative. but it was understood
that instead of winning in Wall
Street. Hauptmann had lost stead
lily. These losses may explain what
happened to a portion of the ram
som money still missing, authorities
said.
All Evidence Not Disclosed
A law enforcement official, promi-
nent in the investigation. told the
United Press: We have not dis
closed all the circumstantial evil
dence we have. I might add that
men have been hanged on lies cir
cumstantial evidence than we have
against Hauptmann."
A new link in the chain of cir
cumstantial evidence, authorities
disclosed. was the tracing of Haupt-
manns past to the lumber yard of
| the National Millwork and Lum-
/ Der Corporation in the Bronx. The
lumber used in the kidnaper's lad
der came from this yard. Haupt-
mann worked in the yard on odd
| jobs only a few months before the
I crime.
While this chain grew stronger
and stronger. there were those who
believed implicitly in the carpen-
terS innocence. His wife. Anna, 30.
mother of his 10-months-old son,
was one. She said it was impoSsi-
BILE for him to have either kid
mapped or murdered the baby. She
was questioned all of Wednesday
night. Thursday. and Thursday
night. released Friday. but ques-
toned again Friday night. Police
said there was no reason to hold
her.

Charles A. Young, plant manager,
said that his guards had captured
a man in the mill with two sacks of
emery, which, he said, would have
ruined the plant turbines if dumped
into them. The man has not been

The manager quoted the intruder,
an employee of the mill, as saying
he had received the emery and in
structions to dump it in the tur-
bines from man on the picket
line and had taken the emery in
the belief that he might thus pre-
vent such dumping by others.
Union Official Makes Denial
Charles P. Drake, business agent
of U. T. w. A, local No. 2069, said
the story was preposterous and
pointed out that he had warned the
strikers repeatedly against violent
tactics.
