Claim Hauptmann
Alone In Crime

PENNINGTON, N. j.. Oct. 80.
tUP,-New Jersey authorities have
reached the conclusion that Charles
A. Lindbergh, Jr., was kidnapped
and murdered by one man and
Attorney General David T. Wilentz
is confident he will be able to prove
that man was Bruno Richard
Hauptmann.
Wilentz derided attempts OF the
defense to link Hauptmann's friend,
the late Isidor Fisch, to the crime.
In New York, James M. Fawcett
defense counsel, announced he had
obtained a statement from Millard
Whited's brother, Edward, that the
TWO had been together constantly
near Hopewell during the time
prior to and after the kidnapping
and that neither had seen any
strangers near the Lndbergh home.

BRITISH NAVY
EXPERTSLEAN
To JAPANESE
BY FREDERICK KUH


Copyright, 1884, BY United Press
LONDON, Oct. 30. - American
hope for unequivocal British sup
port against Japanese demands for
naval equality seemed quashed to-
day.
British naval delegates made it
plain to the Americans at their
meeting yesterday. it was learned,
that they oppose Japan's demands
for "global' allotment of naval
tonnage as firmly as does the United
States.
But both Prime Minister RAM
say Macdonald and Sir John Sim
on, foreign minister, it is known,
showed decidedly more readiness
than the United States to recognize
the principle of japanese equapity.
CUnder a "global' tonnage allot-
ment a nation would be free to
build ships of such size and class
as it desired within a specified
total maximum of naval tons9
Tactically, the United States
seemed increasingly isolated.
The Japanese have advised the
British experts as to some technical
points of their demands without
giving the same information to the
United States, and thereby have
strengthened the American belief
that they are eager to advance
their talks with the British while
leaving the United States delegates
in suspense.

ANGUS DRY
LEADER DEAD.

LOS ANGELES, Oct. %. U.D =
DR.. Arthur H. Briggs, rs, nation
ally known temperance worker and
superintendent of the California
Anti-Saloon league, was found
dead in his cottage at Hermosa
Beach last night, apparently the
victim of a heart attack.
Kathryn OFT, DR.. Briggs attorney,
found the body after she had be-
come alarmed over his continued
absence from league headquarters.
Physicians said he had possibly
been dead a week. An inquest was
ordered.
DR.. Briggs had been head OF the
state Anti-Saloon league since 1921
and was elected a member of the
national prohibition board of STRAIT
egy in 1890.
He returned last Tuesday from a
trip to Washington, d. c., where
he conferred with Bishop James

YOUNG KING
MAY DEVELOP
INTO YANKEE

BELGRADE, Oct. 80. U.p)-King
Peter II, at IL years of age the
monarch of the kingdom of serbs,
croats and slovenes, achieved his
first triumph in diplomacy to-
day.
His brothers Tomislav, 7, and
Andrei, 5, had not been told of
their fathers assassination at Mar
seilles, and they importuned him
to tell them why he had not come
home.
King Alexander, Peter told them
after moments hesitation, went
on long sea voyage. Great waves
as large as the palace, he said
swept over the boat and their faith
er was lost in the waves. He might
not come back, Peter told them,
but they must wait patiently for
him. The brothers were satisfied
with the explanation.
King Peter may become Ameri-
canized. The wife of the new court
Chamberlain, Slavko Gruitch, is
the former Mabel Gordan Dunlap
of Wheeling and Clarksburg, w.
Va. They married in 1902.
Gruitch formerly was minister to
Washington.
AS wife of the court Chamber
lain, Mrs. Gruitch has great in
fluence in the selection of the
kings instructors and friends. The
king is fond of her, and has often
played with her children. There
seems a likelihood that she will
teach Peter some American talk
to replace the English that he
learned at school.

A. & p. Firm In
Strike Dispute

WASHINGTON, Oct. 80. - Fac
ing discouragements from all sides,
the national labor relations board
today undertook settlement of the
Cleveland chain grocery dispute
which administration leaders view
ed as a rapidly growing threat to
President Roosevelt's projected in
dustrial truce. John A. Hartford,
head of the Great A. and P. Tea
Co., left New York for his confer
ence with the labor board, in
sisting that talk was futile, that
the companys decision to abandon
its Cleveland business was final.
Union officials left Cleveland for
the crucial Washington conference,
insisting that negotiations were
doomed to failure unless the COM
pany agreed to 100 per cent union
ization."

When they finally arrive at the

have let themselves in for an hour
of stiff formality, in which nobody

little life into the party. Being pre-

Why do they go through with it?

club to which the bigwigs in his
business belong; for the identical
reason that your daughter who
doesn't know a quarter back from a
referee, accepts with enthusiasm an
invitation to the Yale-Harvard foot
ball game; for the same reason that
you yourself, perhaps, have sat
through dinner parties that bored
you to death-and asked for more

great fortune out of nothing but
thin air and a talent for piracy.

BY MRS. WALTER FERGUSON

rs it any wonder mothers are
l. Anticipated? Current Good
Housekeeping carries an article
urging us to make motherhood
safe and reciting the deplorable
conditions in New York City alone
where, during 1902, 2,34l wom-
en- died in childbirth. Current
Scribner's carries another. article
advocating the total elimination
Of parents, as such.
Louise MaunSell Field argues
that the modern parent is now
so feeble, so lacking in authority,
so careless of responsibility, she
can hardly be said to be a parent
at all. And since our only re-
naming function is biological and
since it may soon be possible to
propagate the race in chemical
laboratories, why not consider
parents entirely superhuous and
permit them to join the dinoSaur
and the roc in extinction?
The idea does not seem absurd
when looked at in the light of
present conditions. We may as
well cease to function as parents
unless we can hit upon a sane
reason for populating the earth.
Right now there seems to be none.
1t is asking too much of women,
I feel, when you urge them to re-
produce their kind so they may
watch two-thirds of their Off
spring starve or sink into crime
or become the targets for high ex-
plosives.
There is no sense in going on
with this business of giving life
if while bestowing it, we prepare
constantly to murder our young
in every conceivable fiendiSh fash
ion. Ana, so far as I am able to
see, that's exactly what we are
doing.
We talk about saving mothers
and babies-but what for? For
grinding poverty, Slavish toll, de-
graduation and despair, spiritual
disintegration, such as always fol-
lows war? Because war is what
the nations now seem bent upon,
with fanatical zeal. The women
might very well rebel, think; nor
would any man dare chide them.
Why, pray, should we continue
to bear the physical pains of labor
