PEDDLER HELD
AS SUSPECT IN
KIDNAPPING CASE
Police Lack CIeWS in Hunt
for Bobby Conner; Search
Is Continued.
ByUHited Press


HARTSDALE, N. Y, July 17.-An
itinerant peddler who talked in
vague terms of a shadowy past was
held by police today as the only
suspect and possible clew to the
enigmatic disappearance Of Bobby
Conner. The child, if still alive,
was twenty-one months old today
Except for arrest of the peddler
Harry Lee Forester, 81, police and
federal agents we're at stone wall
Forester was arrested because he
was seen in Hartsdale Manor Thurs
day when Bobby disappeared in
wooded section near his home. After
prolonged questioning, authorities
said they had uncovered nothing to
link him with the boys absence.
He was questioned further to-
day. Police said he professed not
to have heard of the childs dis
appearance until his arrest. They
said he talked mysteriously of his
wandering career and admitted he
once had been in an institution for
mental treatment.
Forester was identified, police
said, by Mrs, Charles Conner,
mother of the missing boy, as the
cosmetic peddler who was in Harris
dale and frightened several house
wives with his rambling talk.
Remembering the Lindbergh kid
naping case, in which the body of
Charles Lindbergh Jr. was found in
a woods weeks after .searchers had
trampled over the area, authorities
directed another thorough search
of territory surrounding the Conner
home late yesterday. Firemen,
CWA workers and Boy Scouts
carrying sticks and poles went over
the area infinitely, overturning every
rock and prodding every pile of I'M
derbruSh.

Fairbanks, sr, American actor. and
his wife, Mary Pickford, also of the

At the same time, it was learned
on reliable authority that Fairbanks
has been advised not to contest the
suit, with a view to allowing it to
simmer out quietly, that he may be
saved any further unWelcome pub
Ecity.
Suit Filed February.
Lord Ashley. 33-year-old son and
heir of the ninth Earl of Shaftesburg,
fled the suit February 5 and notice
was served on Fairbanks and Lady
Ashley the following day.
Fairbanks now is at Monte Carlo,
but his attorney, F. M. Guedalla, filed
an appearance for him in the case
Tuesday, thus enabling the screen
star to move to contest the case within

Pennies, dimes and nickels are in

since December, 1929.
The largest output OF coins since
that month-an output totaling IA
253,229 pieces with a value of S4355.-

States mints in September.
The mints' report to the Treasury

latiOn.

100000 being coined, as compared
with 6,604,000 niCkels
The mints do not confine them

dend to all depositors on the proceeds
OF the R. F. c. loan. The Depositors
Committee would then be free to go
ahead and get whatever they could
out Of the remaining assets.
Other Banks Considered.
Some of the District of Columbia
banks which have been in receivership
for a long time, later may come in
under the plan for turning assets over
to depositors, the controller explained,
but at the present time it is under
stood there are none whose remain
ing assets fall below the $50, 900 mark.
Among the first banks to fall into
this category would be some of the
smaller institutions which were closed
in July of 1892. Some of these re-
ceiverships already have been consoli-
dated with other receiyerships to re-
duce expenses.
In no case will the assets be forced
on Depositors' Committees, the con-
troller explained, end where the de-
positors desire it, the Government will
continue to wind up the affairs of the
bank, and will conclude the Iqui-
dation
The new plan would help to close
up many receiverships growing out of
the bank collapse of 1888. Already
substantial progress has been made in
clearing up the situation, but the new
plan would be utilized only in closing
out the small tag ends left after the
big job of liquidation had been accom-
plished.
