RELIEF PLAN
STUDIED BY
ROOSEVELT

HYDE PARK, N. Y, Sept. %, U.P)
The entire question of federal re-
lief for next winter is still in the
study stage, President Roosevelt
said today. &
The President made it plain that
no definite plan has yet been evolv-
led as he went into conference with
Mayor Fiorello H. La Guardia cf
New York, the executive committee
of the United States conference of
mayors, and Harry Hopkins, federal
relief administrator.
Indications were that Mr.. Roose-
velt might wait until January 8 or
4 before outlining the new relief
program Those are the dates on
which his annual message to con-
gresS and the budget message are
transmitted.
In the course of his discussion
the President revealed that he was
in sympathy with the ruling of
Comptroller General McCarl pro-
hibiting the use of $4,000 relief
funds for a gigantic forest shelter
belt.
The vast tree planting program,
he said, was still in tentative state
as to actual details. The admins
tration, however, he explained, was
going steadily forward with its de-
Velopment.

CONF FEDERATES
SEARCHED FOR
IN k|DNAP inc
Police Confident Hauptmann
had Women Helpers In Abduc-
ton OF Lindbergh Baby.
BY DELOS SMITH
United Press Staff CORRESPONDENT

Copyright. 1894, by United Press
NEW YORK, Sept. GA theory
that confederate possibly a
woman aided Bruno Richard
Hauptmann in the abduction of the
Lindbergh baby gained strength in
police circles today.
Search for a confederate was an
integral part of the campaign of
police and federal investigators to
build up an air-tight circumstantial
case against Hauptmann, who has
resisted Stolidly efforts to obtain
"a confession from him.
Police, however, found few con-
crete facts aiding the theory that
Hauptmann had confederates.
Developments included:
/. A theory advanced by Assistant
Chief Inspector John J. Sullivan
that a woman aided Hauptmann
because mo man would risk NOV
ing a baby through that country
side without woman to aid him. "
2. A deposit slip filled out when
$2,970 of the ransom gold backs
were turned in for silver certifi-
Gates was checked to determine
whether Hauptmann or confed-
crate turned in the money A
mysterious suicide-apparently not
connected with the Lindbergh case
was on the record in connection
with the investigation of the de-
post slip.
8. Isadore Fische, who died in
Germany and who was named by
Hauptmann as the man who gave
him the $13,750 recovered ransom
money, at one time borrowed $4,000
from an unidentified woman. Fische
also had borrowed $500 from
Hauptmann in 1882, records showed,
apparently blasting Hauptmann's
claim that Fische left him the
money.
Whether the woman from whom
Fische borrowed the $4,000 had any
connection Woth the Lindbergh ran
som money was not disclosed by
police.
AT the office of Samuel j. Foley,
u. S. Attorney for Bronx county,
it was said that several women
were questioned yesterday in the
Hauptmann investigation.

SACRAMENTO, Sept. %. (Spe-
ciaD-As the California state CAPT
tai returned to routine in the wake
of the swift moving special session
of the legislature, veteran legiSla-
tors not yet departed for their
homes appraised the accomplish
ments and declared that something
new in leadership had been shown
by Gov. Frank F. Merriam" in the
first legislative meet of his admin
istration.
Leadership without the big
stick" "the leadership of service"
mo grandstanding or credit grab
brig" leadership of fellowship"
something new in governors mo
mogog "humanitarianism
without speeches" and such com
ments flowed from the senators and
assemblymen who have served with
many governors and who were
frank in their admiration for their
former speaker of the assembly and
presiding officer of the senate.
Governor Merriam presented his
bills direct to the senate and as
sembly. Every matter he presented
was adopted unanimously. Only
one contest developed-that Of the
Sinclair adherents who endeavored
to amend the relief bond issue to
include authority for the extension
of eminent domain SO that private
property could be seized for 'im-
practical schemes" The Sinclair
followers mustered only 10 votes

Rainbow Pilot Takes Lead At
Hallway Mark And Stays In
Front For Rest OF Race.
PROTEST RAISED
Complaint Will Be Heard By Cup
Committee At Special Meeting
To Be Held Tonight.
PROTEST RAISED

ABOARD U. S. C. G. C. ARGO,
OFF NEWPORT. R. L. Sept. d.
WP)-Heading off the challenge Of
Britain s royal blue sloop, Endeav-
our, Harold Vanderbilt drove his
Rainbow home today to deadlock
the Americas cup series at two
victories each.
Rainbow won by minute, 16
seconds.
Losing the lead only once, when
Endeavour OUTRAGED her to the
first turn, Vanderbilt piloted his
big white cutter home in one Of
the greatest racing duels in cup
history.
He recovered the lead halfway to
the second mark, bore down on
the turn nearly a minute ahead
and drove into the finishing stretch
with Sopwith in hot pursuit.
The two sloops raced through
bucking seas, Sopwith trying every
maneuver to cross to weather Of the
defender. Pit Vanderbilt luffed
him off, outfooted him on the clos
ing reach and heeled over the line,
victorious in one of his most bril-
liant racing efforts.
Protest Raised
Whatever the race proved about
. the merits of either yacht, it has
narrowed the America IS cup series
into the tightest battle in the 83-
year-old history of the big silver
mug.
Rainbow 2:55.38 p. M; Endeav-
our 2:56.53 p. m.
Both yachts consented to race
again Monday.
Endeavour was flying a protest
flag three miles from home. AS
seen from the Argo, the protest
was undoubtedly based on the con-
tention that the Rainbow, when she
overhauled the British sloop, pass
ing to windward had failed to meet
Endeavour' huff as required by
the rules governing the actions Of
overtaking ytchts.
This was the first protest in re-
cent years of the series. Endeav-
ours complaint will be taken up
tonight by the cup race commit
tee it was arnounced.

OUT HAUPTMANN AS KIDNAPER

NEW YORK, Sept. %. U.P) =
The chain of circumstantial evi-
dence linking Bruno R. Hauptmann
to the kidnapping and disclosure of
the Lindbergh baby frightened rap
idly today with disclosure of a code
letter written before the abduction
telling of plans for the crime.
Coincidentally, evidence that
Hauptmann has confederates was
strengthened, including one hint
that woman was leader of the
plot.
While Hauptmann was questioned
again in New York, officials of New
Jersey, Ohio and government agen-
cies piled up the evidence, which
now includes positive" identi-
fication of his handwriting as that of
the man who wrote all the ransom
notes. Police already were positive
that the actual kidnaper wrote some
of the notes.
Other developments included
/. Announcement by Warden p.
E. Thomas of Ohio state peniten-
tiary that letter, signed Bruno
Hauptmann, was written to George
Paulis, a prisoner, prior to the kid
naping. 1t was a code letter, which
conveyed this message Intend
kidnap Lindbergh baby. Hope for
me-"
2. Revelation that Paulis was
taken to New Jersey after the kid
naping to aid in the investigation
and that a man and woman tried
to approach him on a station plat
form. Later Paulis said that the
couple was responsible" for the
abduction and that the woman was
the "brains' of the plot,

case was spurred by New York
