DOCTOR CONDON SAID THE POLICE
 HAD HTERFERED
He Would Have Had Full Confession From Bruno
 Hauptmann

Remington, N. J., January 10 - (UP) = Dr John +. Condon paused in the midst of shaving himself in his quarters today to af- firm regretfuily that had the DO. lice not interfered long since would have been able to obtain Q full and complete confession from Bruno Hauptmann through the use of psychological methods"
 Discussing the case in a room filtered with newspaper accounts of his testimony yesterday, Jafsie seemed almost eager to resume the witness stand.
 "ftil he fun," he chortlcd.
 Reverting to Hauptmarn. the cl- derly pedagogue declared he had "won the confidence" of the Ger man carpenter and was convinced that eventually The would have rec vealcd the whole awful truth" of his own vOlition.
 T. contemplated no mental third degree, but rather projection of my known attitude of sympathy to- wards all humanity" Dr .COndon said. "I had John weeping when I told him l had treated him like q gentleman, but that he had not treated me like one. had him laughing happily when left = as If q great load was about to be lifted from him and he assured me that he wanted me to come back again. But was never per mitted to go."
 Dr condon amplified his testi- mony yesterday concerning his failure to Identify Hauptmann when he was first arrested.
 "The police were rushing me- he said. T realized that q mans life was at stake. wanted to be sure of my Identification. therefore, I took my time about stating whether or not I believed Haupt- mann to be the John to whom l had paid over S50.000 in gold ccr- tificatcs that night at the ceme- tery. My recollection is that at the Greenwich street station I did not reply in the affirmative or the neg ative. was sure in my own mind that John was Houptmann, but had in mind withholding my con. clusion, on the theory that later would be able to persuade him to make a confession. Z
 T honestly think that. If given my own way and my. own time, could still bring about q confession from Hauptmann. The spiritual side of his nature, 1t seems, is one that no one else has taken the pains to observe"

NEW ENGLAND REVIEW

Boston, Jan. 10.-(UP).- Mod crate increase of business in most manufacturing lines during the' first three months of 1895 were looked for today in the weekly re- view of New England trade con- ditions by Dun & Bradstreet, Inc.
 Gains are particularly expected in machinery, electrical goods, fur niture, shoes and tewelry." the re- view said. "A satisfactory volume of goods is moving into the hands of consumers through retail outlets salers lead them to believe that fu- ture purchasing will be well main tained.
 t,s "Electrical output showed an in- crease over the corresponding week of last year, and also was higher than 0 week earlier.
 Demand for paints, wallpaper. heating and plumbing and elec- trical supplies Is showing gradual increase, as the money obtained from the F. H. A. loans is put into circulation.
 Due to the fact that the mills have centered their interest prin- cipally on inventories, there has been little activity during the past week in the Boston wool market. Manufacturers of clothing are much encouraged by the increase In the sale of garments at retail. and there is a much better tone in the goods market.
 Prices on most cotton goods are slightly in excess of last year's quotations. and the market con- tinues firm. Most cotton mills are quite busy at present, and are mod erate1y well sold out.
 "The hide and skin market is quiet, with prices firm. Manufac- turers are purchasing moderate quantities of leather for current needs, and the tanners are holding firmly to their quotations. Quite a large volume of orders has beer received during the past two weeks by manufacturers of shoes and many of them are increasing opera tions. Price tendencies are up- wards.
 "Volume of building contracts awarded last week shows compara- lively little change from the pre- vious week and still leaves much to be desired. Home building is slow, and all attention Is focused in the coming housing plans of the government"

Dairy Herds Drop,
Milk Declines Two
Pounds Per Head

Every class of livestock in Min
nesota has decreased in number
since January 1, 1884, it is shown
in statement just compiled by
the Farm Credit Administration
statistical division. The decrease
has been very slight in the case
of horses and sheep, but hogs have
dropped to only 81 per cent of the
number on farms year ago in
January - the greatest decline in
any kind of livestock in the state.
A z per cent decline in dairy
cows and heifers, over two years
old, leaves 1,734,OO0 still on the
farms. The decline has been ac-
companied also by a drop of al
most two pounds per head in the
production of milk. This is as
cribed to the feed shortage which
has caused many farmers who or
dinarily are well supplied with
proper dairy feeds, decidedly to
reduce the gram raClOn ana 10 use
roughage of poorer quality than
usual.
Along with the decline in num-
bers there has been an upturn in
the average value of all kinds of
livestock, which is greatest in the
case of swine. Hogs in January
this year were valued on the aver
age at $3.50 per head (including
pigs) compared with $40 a year
earlier. However, the statistical
division points out that Gin certain
areas livestock numbers have been
so seriously depleted that good
prices for livestock and livestock
products will not greatly help the
situation during the next two
years.

WASHABLE WALLS
A GOOD INVESTMENT

Walls covered with washable
paint or wallpaper are an excel
lent investment, especially in kit
chens, bathrooms, and children's
playrooms. In fact, washable
walls are splendid for stairways
and all rooms in a home or apart
ment where children are liable to
fingerprint the surfaces.
In cities and neighborhoods
where the air is polluted with SCOT,
dust and destructive fumes, walls
and ceilings covered with wash
able paint or wallpaper make il
possible to keep the home clear
and sanitary at all times at a min.
imum of expense.

Blend Impractical

Compelling the blending Of gas
oline with alcohol, recommended
tc create a new market for corn,
is impractical and based on false
economics, according to Univer-
sity of Minnesota experts who re-
Gently conducted a series Of tests.
The increased cost Of gasoline con-
sumed on farms alone would more
than offset any additional income
from the sale of corn for that pur-
pose, they said, adding that the
blend users may encounter start
ing difficulty in cold weather and
injury to present motors.
