tarded the governments $150,000, 600

I'VE literally have to go on tiptoes
through the various cities, holding
our breath and hoping against
hope that we will be. able to take an
option or buy the property desired
or at least start condemnation pro-
ceedings before these precious spec
ulators know what we are about.
"Our inability to announce our
plans, because to do SO would be
to make it impossible to put those
plans into effect, has had the re-
suit of encouraging criticism that
has been both ill-timed and un-
founded From time to time, the
most astonishing rumors have come
to us of the dismal fate that has
befallen the housing division of the
public works administration. The
voluntary crepe-hangers have been
at their very best, strewing our door
step with wreaths for the dear and
departed housing program"
He frightened then and, with
pride, referred to a contemplated
federal program affecting twenty
cities, removing wicked political
rings that have flourished in SO
many of our large cities"
Il hope" said Mr.. Ickes, that
the rehabilitation of these two slum
areas in Atlanta is only the first
evidence of a high resalve on our
part as nation no longer to per-
NIT fellow human beings, no matter
what may be their race or creed,
or color, to continue to live in filth
and misery. while paying an actual
money cost out of proportion to
what they receive"
Politicians were warned by Mr..
Ickes to keep off" the premises of
the Atlanta projects, and others
that may be started by the govern
ment.
II want to warn him (the poll
tician) that these are federal prof.
ects and the federal government
intends to keep a close watch on
them in order to protect those who
live in them from being overreached
or exploited. We do not propose to
allow Spoilsmen to make anything
out of these projects"
The $150000,000 federal housing
program will benefit large cities, in
Guiding New York, Chicago and
Indianapolis, but, according to Mr..
Ickes, this expenditure will only
Scratch the surface"
Mr.. Ickes admitted that due to
poor organization" at the start
of the program, progress, for num-
bers of months was backward, y
rather than forward. Now, however
he emphasized, the program is
under full steam and will be pushed
as major part of the New Deal
campaign.

Suspect Laughs at Charge

CHICAGO, Sept. 29.-John Bow
man, 29-year-old ex-convict ar
rested secretly last night, laughed
today at the idea that he may be
the man who collected $4,000 ran
som for the infant son of Colon1I
Charles A. Lindbergh.
Il don't know Bruno Hauptmann
and I don't know anything about
the Lindbergh case except what I
read in the papers," Bowman said
in good-natured reply TO questions.
Bowman, who as youth served a
prison term for interstate transpor-
tation of a stolen motor car, ap-
peared TO enjoy the spotlight into
which he was thrown. Through
hours of questioning by police and
federal agents he persisted in treat
ing his connection with the Lind
bergh case as a joke.
Police arrested Bowman and his
wife on the strength Of a tip vari-
ously reported to have originated IN
Chicago and Washington.
Deputy Detective Chief Walker
Storms said Bowman looks like the
John described by DR.. John r Con-
don (Jafsiel as the man 70 whom he
paid the ransom.

than merely deplore, desire, and

the liquor traffic's promiscuous and
widespread advertising that appeals
to every sense-the visual sense IN
newspapers, magazines and signs
everywhere, the auditory appeal over
the radio, and the appeal to taste,
in the nefarious crime Of saturating

able stuff-can be taken up and

The report pointed out that IF
the individual could boast OF self
control we would have no prohibi-

and asked whether we are stress

much at the expense of our tenn

STATE TO END
CASE AGAINST
DEAN MONDAY
Surprise Witness Will
Complete Testimony,
MattiCe Says.

Floyd j. Mattice, chief deputy
prosecutor, refused today to disclose
the identity of the mystery witness
he will produce when Edward
Foggy) Deans first degree murder
trial is resumed Monday.
Before noon recess yesterday, Mr..
Mattice said he planned to close
the states case within an hour.
After a conference between Spe-
cial Judge Clyde Jones and Clyde
Miller, defense counsel, Mr.. Mattice
announced he was not prepared to
present further evidence and agreed
to an adjournment until $50 Mon
day morning.
The prosecution plainly was sur
priSed at the evidence given by
Lewis Firestone, Polk Sanitary Milk
Company employe.
Mr.. FireStone, referred to in
earlier testimony as having been
knocked down by one of the bandits
who held up the milk company,
denied that he had been struck by
any one.
Discrepancy in Testimony.
Mrs. Leota White, milk company
employe, had told the jury that she
was obliged to step over Mr.. Fire
stones legs as he lay prone at the
top of a flight of stairs after one of
the bandits struck him.
Mr.. Mattice would not say whether
the additional evidence to be pro-
duced Monday would touch on this
discrepancy.
Michael McAllen, Indianapolis
patrolman, who said he identified
Dean as the sub-machine gunner in
the robbery of the Peoples Motor
Coach garage where Sergeant Les
ter Jones was murdered, denied yes
terday that he had identified Willie
Mason, crippled fugitive, as the
member of the bandit gang who first
fired at him.
Tells OF Gun Duel
According to Officer McAllen, he
rushed into the motor coach ga
rage after Sergeant Jones had been
shot down. He said Dean stood
near the Ford car, in which the
bandits arrived, spraying subma-
chine gun bullets, all of which went
wild.
Did you not testify in Mason'S
trial at Noblesville, that Mason was
the man who fired the submachine
gun at you?" asked defense counsel
81 did not" he responded. ST said
1 had exchanged shots with Mason
during the holdup, but I did not say
he was the submachine gunner"
Mason, awaiting retrial in Mobiles
vile Jail, escaped recently.

was asked.
No"
Odd Detective Johnson Of New
York, now investigating in Europe,

A-No, except one cable which /
could not interpret. He has re-
ported to police.
Journal Is Studied
Q-Dou you still believe Haupt-
mann acted alone in getting the
ransom money from DR.. j. F. Con-
don?
Al have not said that. But
he certainly was in the negotiations.
Q-Has Hauptmann's diary aided
your investigation?
Ave have no Hauptmann diary.
We have his journal, in which vari-
Gus transactions are entered but
there is no mention of ransom
money in it.
Q-Upon whose testimony will you
rely for positive Identification Of
Hauptmann in the ransom nego-
tiations? Did Lindbergh or Rreck-
inridge identify him?
Al can not discuss that.
Care any more persons under
suspicion.
Al can not discuss that. We
are still investigating.
Pistol Is Checked
Meanwhile, New Jersey authori-
ties we're believed engaged in a
secret effort to establish that the
small caliber pistol found in Haupt-
mann's possession was the weapon
used in the murder of the Lind
bergh baby.
The lonely and wooded hillside
near Hopewell where the baby's
body was buried in a shallow grave
by the kidnaper, was the scene of
mysterious investigation. The
very spot where the grave had been.
was dug up. The excavated earth
indicated it had been sifted care
fully. Obviously the work had been
done by experts.
New Jersey state police professed
to know nothing of the excavating
which apparently took place yester-
day. AS the hillside is miles from
the nearest house, no one saw the
diggers.
Bullet Could Be Identified
1t was believed the earth might
have been examined for a bullet
that snuffed out the baby's life soon
after it was stolen from the Lind
bergh nursery the night of March
/, 1882. When found, the body was
so decomposed bullet, had the
body contained one, would have

OVERLOOKING TRUCK
DRIVERS DANGEROUS

The danger of overworking truck
drivers was illustrated by an acct
dent which occurred on Friday of
last week to Victor C. Coulbourne,
of Rhodesdale, Md.
Mr.. Coulbourne fell asleep on Route
213 near Federalsbury, at 4 P. M,
crashed into a truck and was so sew
erely injured as to be compelled to
undergo an amputation of his leg at
the Cambridge hospital.
Trucks, at their best, constitute
menaces to the road. So largely have
they come into use for transportation
of commodities, resulting in keen
rivalry for custom, that no schedules
are observed. This requires running
at all hours and at speed not only
above the laws but contrary to that
which insures safety. Mr.. Coul-
bourne's accident is only one of many
of varying seriousness.

SOFT BALL RIVALRY
Still ENGAGES INTEREST

Soft Ball rivalries still survive,
and the games are events to both play
ers and spectators.
On Monday of this week the Pen
ney Company tossers tried to put one
over on the Firemen by wearing spikes
in their shoes. The game was for
feited promptly to the fire fighters.
On Tuesday the Penny Company,
without spikes took into camp the
American and A and P combination
by the score of Is to 4. They said
they got sort of peeved because of
the ruling on the previous day and
wanted the public to know they could
play ball, spikes or no spikes.
On Wednesday the boys from the
Worcester Democrat got sort of ches-
ty and pitted their skill against an
All-Star team picked from the league
Nine full innings were played and the
game was called at all. The print
er boys said they could sling a bal
as we'll as they could ink, and they
wanted the public to know it.
