spectively.
Congressional leaders already are
conceding that congress will chal-
lenge Mr.. Roosevelt on the war vet
terans' bonus which refuses to pay
now at cost in excess of $2,000,-

Uneasy house leaders plan to re-
vive strict rules abandoned three

drive of organized minoritieS for
inflationary legislation to aid farm
debtors and depositors of closed
banks.

cealing the legislative recommended
tions upon which it will be asked to

Seek Commission
For Control OF
transportation

WASHINGTON. Jan. 2 U.P) -
Creation of transportation
commission to have charge of all
forms of transportation policies has
been recommended to President
Roosevelt for action, it was dis
closed officially today.
The recommendations were made
in report submitted by a special
transportation committee composed
of George H. Dern, Secretary of
War, Daniel c. Roper, Secretary of
Commerce and Joseph B. Eastman,
transportation coordinator.
The plan, it was learned, proposes
that central federal agency,
which would be a sort of expanded
interstate commerce commission,
would determine questions of policy,
quasi judicial matters, and rates
affecting air, land, and sea COM
merce.
The executive work, it was under
stood, would be separated from
these functions and would be car
ried out by special departmental
commissions much as at present.

Building Permits For
Year Total $IO4,II8

With total of $1O4,118 represent
ing 203 permits, Ell Centre closed a
very successful year in that respect,
city officials revealed today.
Compared with the total of
$17l, 1886 for 1877 permits, for 1888,
last years aggregate does not seem
SO wonderful" Philip w. knights,
city engineer, stated this morning.
But" he added, I'VE must remem-
Der that in the 1888 total was a
single item of $4,000 representing
the permit for the new post office
here. When that is taken into con-
sideration, it is easy to see that
last years permit total represents
very definite advance in building
activities for the CITY,"
The current year started with a
$75 permit issued this morning.

fire record in the past Is years,

this year than they had last year,
there was considerably less damage
caused by these fires. Reams

shortage which hit the valley dur
ing the summer months.

Bruno Richard Hauptmann, a drab
and cringing figure, went on trial
today on a charge of numbering
Charles A. Lindbergh. Jr.
In all the spectacular setting Of
drama that had been 80 months
in the making, the prisoner was the
least impressive. His shackles were
struck from his hands as he enter

taken his seat than Col. Charles A.
Lindbergh, tall and smiling, strode
down the aisle and took a seat
within the lawyers enclosure.
Anna Schoeffler Hauptmann, the
loyal German hausfrau who insisted
her husband could not be guilty OF
the most norrifying crime of the
age, sat far removed from the prt-
soner and craned, her neck to smile
at him.
The court room was noisy. There
was a buzz of conversation in the
auditorium, and Supreme Court

Yes, your nonor," said Edward

BY their questions, both G. Lloyd
Fisher associate defense counsel,
and Attorney General David T..
Wilentz, for the state, showed they
had no hope of obtaining dozen
persons in Hunterdon county who

they had seen voluminous accounts
of the case and had listened to des-
criptions of the crime. They swore,
however, that all their reading had
not served to prejudice their minds.
