HAUPTMANN CELL
GUARD PROTESTED
Counsel Says Unfair Tactics
Used to Harass Kid
nap Suspect.

ev the Associated Press.
FIEMINGTON, N. j.. November l.
Bruno Richard Hauptmann's New
Jersey defense attorney, Lloyd Fisher
yesterday charged the State with sub
,ectine the Lindbergh kidnap-slaying
susnect to IAN insidious third degree
In harass him and break down his
mentality"
A grim. silent guard of State troop
ers and deputy sheriffs stand outside
Hauptmanns cell night and day
Fisher declared, never speaking 10
the prisoner or to each other.
When the prisoner asks for some
thing the attorney said, it is handed
to him without a word.
"Hauptmann ought not to be sub
tected to any indignity not imposed
on other prisoners held under the
same charge" Fisher said. indicating
he would ask Attorney General David
T. Wilentz to remove the troopers as
guards.
Fisher declared the State troopers
were part of the prosecution force
and should not be allowed continual
access to the prisoner lest they ques
tion him improperly.
Wilentz, informed of Fishers state
ments, said the State police have a
right to maintain a guard"
'Hauptmann has been extended
privileges not ordinarily accorded a
man charged with murder. He has
been allowed to see his wife daily
and his child frequently, although de-
fense counsel asked for only three
days week for Mrs. Hauptmann and
one visit week for the child
Troopers were not permitted to
stand guard over John Hughes Cur
tis, when the Norfolk, Va, shipbuilder
waited trial in the same Jail two
years ago in the Lindbergh hoax case,
Fisher who was Curtis attorney, de-
clared.
Fisher had his first talk alone with
the prisoner yesterday. Hauptmann he
SAID, is beginning to show the strain
of his imprisonment.

their ocks on hillside in Judea, behed bright star
and heard angel choir singing: GLORY to God in the
highest and earth peace goodwill toward men; for
unto you this day, a Saviour is BORN
The shepherds followed the star, which guided them
to Bethlehem There they found the Babe lying in man
ger surrounded by and sheep, which munched
their hay and looked with mild. patient eyes
That the first Christmas. Now another Christmas
at hand We celebrate Christmas because 1t celebrates
the anniversary OF the Christ Childs birth Although
King Christ not born in palace, but amid lowly
surroundings He therefore knows how to sympathize
with and in humble stations in life. as well
IS with those who rich.
At this hallowed the spirit Of peace, love, and
good will prevails What happy world this would be,
if the Christmas spirit could dwell in human hearts every
day of the year!
In making our gifts this Christmas let not forget
the poor and destitute in whose humble homes no

BY Frank rffcy 1884 Chestnut
If only could be a real Kriss- kringe
As the Joyful yuletde spirit now is here;
With the gay and happy throng I'd mingle
And skis how I'd spread Christmas cheer.
I'd go around among the little children,
And to all of them I'd give jolly feast;
With bananas. grapes and oranges I'd fill them,
And all the nuts and candy they could eat.
I'd take the little ones with fond caresses
And fit them out very fine and neat;
I'd give them dolls and sleds and suits and dresses.
And shoes and stockings for their little feet
And all the needy families that I'd find.
I'd fill their tables with all they could hold
And plan TO have their rent paid up to springtim
And give to each of them their winter coal.
I'd place Christmas tree on every corner,
With present for each woman. child and
I'd give thanks 70 Him who was the donor,
For His blessings all throughout the land

out in this respect.

present this year Surely we should

maturity. let us think on what Is
really needed.
Clothes and food and good no ks
present themselves before our mind
and after that we can think of the
needed things around the horse
and great deal Of these needed
things we can buy from our own.
II is unfortunate that no one seems
to be here pressing the sales Of
good books from our own authors.
We have many that have come OFF
the press this year that should be
included in our gift lists. The of-
flee of the n. A. A. c. p. in New

them.

TO ALL CUSTOMERS OF
DETROIT CITY GAS COMPANY

ABOUT two and half years ago the Detroit Citv
"A Gas Company voluntarily reduced its rates which
were already lower than those in any comparable city
in this country.
We cut these rates not because the Companys inan-
cal situation warranted il, but because we wanted TO
reduce the cost OF gas thousands faced by unem-
Ployment and even distress and to that extent help
Our customers through deplorabe period.
Throughout the emergency of bank closngs, we paid
cash tor wages and materials and later accepted CITY
Scrip at full value whenever offered in payment of
bills by any OF our customers. We also paid our taxes
in advance in cash. We have a pride not ony in
having done civic duty but in having our Company
in sound position able to render this service.
Our income dropped sharply because of the rate re.
duction and decreased use of gas. All Company en-
ployees helped by cheerfuy and taking pay cuts
We cooperated with N. r. A. by adding scores 20 our
pay rolls and later restored pay CUTS recognizing con-
ditions affecting our own people.
Under the recovery policy of our Government. our
costs have been going up for months and are still
going up. Since the reduction sales of pas have
decreased 81 100000 per year and due to increased
pay roll and material expense il is costing us S67s ooo
per year more TO produce the lesser amount of gas
When we voluntarily reduced these rates az an est;
mated loss in revenue of $S5OOOO wear we felt tha.
under the emergency existing the Company could
stand' and IL was willing to stand this reduction
We put the rates into effect and have operated under
them for trial period of twenty-nine months. Due
TO the lowered rates, increased and decreased
consumption, our resulting loss has averaged MOE
than twice what was anticipated
Now facing into 1885 with pay roll upped by about
half million dollars and cost of coal, pas.o;f AMI
other materials upped by like amount, we are driven
20 the conclusion that we cannot continue under
these conditions il are still TO render tbe sa,a
high standard OF gas service which Detroit and the
other communities we serve accustomed
Therefore forced to raise our gas rates and nm
and after January sth, 1885, the following schedules

case attracted wide attention be-
cause in practically every plant
employing Negro women In the
South, under the textile code,
either white women had been sub

had closed and Negro women dis
missed.
The National Recovery Admin

findings that "the workers In the

THE BABE OF BETHLEHEM

In Bethlehem, across the sea,
Almost two thousand years ago,
The Chist-C Child came to EARTH that He
Might save the world from sin and woe.
He was not born in palace hail,
With purple robes and splendor gay;
But in stable dark and small,
Where cattle stood and munched their hay.
Guided by flaming STAR
To where the Babe and Mother were,
Three Wise Men journeyed from affair."
With gifts of incense, gold and myrrh
On this and every Christmas Day.
Our homage to the Christ we bring

AS head keeper he insists upon
the same unfaltering vigilance on
the part of his assistants. He
says:
II tell 'em they are never

their guard"
AS a result ZOO attendants have
very few accidents with their
charges. The only major one in
recent years was when a keeper
at the gnu's cage was gored by one
of the beasts.
The keeper himself, later at the
hospital, told Mr.. Blackburn the
accident would never have hap
pened if he had followed the vet
eran's advice.
Says Mr.. Blackburn:
"Visitors who insist upon pet
ting that sweet lion, are more
apt to be hurt than attendants.
OF course we don't let 'em do
any petting If we can avoid it.
But every once in a while one
Of the brave ones manages to
