.STOLL KIDNAPER IN
CITY, POLICE TIPPED
Robinson Seen in Automo-
bile Here, Is Report.

A report that a man answering
the description of Thomas H. Rob-
inson Jr., under Federal Court in
dictment as the alleged kidnaper of
Mrs. Alice Speed Stoll, Louisville
Junior Lacquer, was in an automo-
bile parked on New York-st near
Colorado-av sent a police squad
speeding there today.
The tip came to police by tele-
phone and the tipster told Capt.
Otto Petit that s'Robinson" was in
car bearing Colorado license
plates. Fearful that the alleged
kidnaper might have a short-wave
radio in his car, if it were he, Capt.
Petit rushed Sergt. Chester Tim
norman and his squad to the scene
without a general radio alarm.
When Sergt. Zimmerman reached
the intersection of the two streets,
the car with Colorado license plates
had left. Later in the day, police
still were looking for the. car on In
dianapolis streets.
Only 10 days ago. The Indianapo-
lis Times learned on indiSputable
authority that Federal agents be-
lieve Robinson is in Indianapolis
and that they have searched numer-
Gus boarding houses and hotels here
in an unceasing hunt for him.

DR.. CONDOR TO
NAME SUSPECT
AS K|DNAPER
Jafsie to Place TaCiturn
Hauptmann at Scene
of Crime.
BIZ United Press

BY Untted Press
PENNINGTON, N. j., Jan. 7. -
When DR.. John F. (Jafsie) Condor
appears as voluntary witness
against Bruno Hauptmann, he will
testify that Hauptmann told him
he was in the Lindbergh nursery
the night of the kidnapping, the
United Press was informed on high
official authority today.
Dr. Condor not only will identify
Hauptmann as the mysterious
John" to whom he paid $4,000
ransom in st. Raymond's Cemetery,
the Bronx, but will place him at
the scene of the crime. This will
be the states second great stroke
in its prosecution OF the taciturn
Bronx carpenter for the kidnapping
and murder. Col Lindbergh identi-
fed Hauptmann's voice as that of
the extortioner he heard call out
to DR.. Condor at the cemtery.
These disclosures definitely clear
up the part DR.. Condor will play
in the Hauptmann trial Heretofore,
his name has been surrounded by
mass of reports, many contradictory.
DR.. Condor has been careful to
evade direct questions.
DR.. Condor probably will not be
called as a witness until the latter
part of this week. The state is
presenting its evidence in chrome
logical order to maintain the con-
secutive links by which it hopes to
send Hauptmann to the electric
chair.
Before DR.. Condor paid Col.
Lindbergh's money to the supposed
kidnaper, he had one lengthy con-
ference with him. John" assured
DR.. Condor that he was the man
who climbed ladder into the Lind
bergh nursey and stole the baby.
DR.. Condor will recite that CONVEX
sation from the witness stand, and
in identifying Hauptmann as
John" will thus place Hauptnann
in the nursery.
DR.. Condor held long confer
ence with Atty. Gen. David T.
WllentZ IN Trenton last night, and
will remain in hotel room on the
floor reserved for state witnesses
until called.
When he testifies, he will be
subjected to a pounding cross-ex-
animation by defense counsel. The
elderly educator, known to be emo
tional, was a subject for anxiety on
the part of observers. Many Won
dered if he would be unable to
stand the type Of oss-examination
he is certain to receive.
DR.. Condor, throughout his nego-
tiations with John" exercised all
his psychological powers and his
moralizing influence to soften the
extortionist.

HaUdnaB Bound Liner Crashes Into Shoals; Her0ism of
CrelU AUerts Disaster Scores Are Rescued From Ship

DR.. Howard Fox, New York, one
of the passengers, said he planned
to ask Carnegie hero medal for
Seaman Fauslas.
While all the passengers praised
the conduct of the seamen who
manned the lifeboatS, some were
critical of Capt. Peterson and of the
Havana's equipment. Anna Brady,
New York, and her brother Frank,
said the Ifeboats we're launched too
soon and that the passengers need
not have left the Havana until the
seas had Gained sufficiently to as
sure perfect safety. The boat they
were in almost sank because it was
waterlogged, they said. They sat
waist-deep in water until picked up.
Only one person was known to be
dead. He was R. w. Rittenhouse, a
passenger of New York City, who
died of apoplexy soon after the boat
in which he had seat was
launched.

the Oceano. Elias appeared dead.
Seamen applied artificial respiration
for two hours and revived him.
Out at SSatanilla Shoals where the
Havana stin was held fast, seas were
reported suhsiding and the ship was
said to be in no further danger.
Capt. A. w. Peterson and all mem
bers of his crew not needed to man
the lifeboats, had remained aboard.
An effort to refioat her will be made
today.
Thirty of the crew were landed
here. Thirteen were aboard the
Peten. Eighty-two remained aboard.
Fourth Officer John Rich, in
charge of the five lifeboats launched
by the Havana yesterday morning,
was aboard the Oceano. He believed
faulty navigation instruments caused
the wreck. They showed the Ha-
vana IS miles of the shoals a few
minutes before the ship piled up in
heavy seas. Visibility vas bad.

LEGION OPENS
WAR ON REDS
Move to DiSfranChiSe Men,
bers of Communist
Party in u. S.

Acting through its Americanism
director, the American Legion this
afternoon moved to disinfranchise
members of the Communist Party
of America by seeking adoption in
all state legislatures of bill which
without naming the Communists as
such, would accomplish this pur-
pose.
The proposed bill, sent to the So
departments of the Legion by
Homer L. Chaillaux, the American
ism director, was prepared from an
original draft by Milton Phillips,
Oklahoma Department Adjutant. It's
text:
mo political party shall be rec
ognized and given a place on the
ballot which advocates the over
throw by force Or violence, or which
advocates or carries on program
of sedition or of treason by radio,
speech or press, of our local, state
or National Government.
mo newly organized political
party shall be permitted on the bal
lot until it has filed an affidavit by
its officers, under oath, that it does
not advocate the overthrow of local,
state or National Government by
act of force, violence, and that it
is not affiliated with any political
party or organization, or sub-divi-
sions of organizations, which does
advocate such a policy by radio
speech or press"
See that the meaning is not al
tered" Mr.. Chaillaux writes in a
letter accompanying the bill. ut
might be well to have a penalty
clause added. This would certainly
do the job for all time of eliminat-
ing the Communist Party from the
ballot in your state. If it is net
now on the ballot in your state, it
is just as essential that the bill be
passed to prevent the possibilities
of its later appearance upon the
ballot"

Fifty of the 124 members of the
Havana's crew were members of
the crew of the Moro Castle, also
a Ward liner, which burned recently
off the New Jersey coast with loss
Of 124 lives. The crew of the Moro
Castle was accused of cowardice by
many passengers, but passengers of
the Havana had high praise for its
conduct.
Seaman Steve Fauslas, in charge
of one of the lifeboats, kept it afloat
single-handed three hours after it
had been swept by huge wave.
But the greatest act of heroism
was not by member of the crew,
but by a passenger. Mrs. Sonia Lon

SINGLE HOUSE
ASSEMBLY FOR
INDIANA URGED
UnicameraI Legislature Is
Aim of Bill Drafted
by HooSier.
BY JAMES DOSS
Times staff Writer

The Indiana General Assembly
will be asked to legislate itself out OF
existence, In It's present form, in a
bill being prepared by Rep. Joseph
E. Klein, Democrat, 'the George
Norris of Indiana"
At first glance, such a proposal
might seem too radical or too much
against tradition for Indiana to
stomach, but legislation to abolish
the Senate and House of Represen-
tatives already has been enacted in
Nebraska and a one-chamber House
established in their stead.
From all indications, Rep. Klein
Whiting merchant, will wage the
same sort of lone -handed fight that
faced Senator Norris in the latter'S
winning of the Nebraska revolution
People in Nebraska said the estab-
lishment of what is known as the
unicameral plan couldn't be done
but Senator Norris, 70-year-old
fighter of power trusts ard private
greed, said it could.
1t was done when 248000 Ne
braskans voted on an amendment
that snuffed out the life of their
present legislative system.
Last Two House Assembly
This years Nebraskan legislature
will be the last two-house assembly
In 1887, a lawmaking body of be-
tween 80 and so members will enact
legislation for Nebraska. The ex-
pertinent is simple in form. Briefly
its points are:
l. The legislature to be elected in
1886 will be nominated and elected
on a nonpartisan ballot and will sit
in a one-chamber legislature in 1887
Whether the members will be called
senators, representatives or by some
new title is not yet decided.
2. Salaries, depending on whether
there are 80 or so members, will be
paid from a fund ranging from
$4,000 to $4,000.
8. The Governor shall retain the
right of veto and of calling special
sessions.
4. legislation by conference COM
mittees shall be abolished.
5. The Lieutenant-G Governor shall
preside, but Speaker shall be elect
ed to serve in the absence of the
acknowledgement. The latter
would vote only to break tie.
6. The legislature sitting this year
shall district the state and specify
the number of legislators the one
chamber legislature shall contain in
1897. The quota can not be changed
for ten years.
These are the high points of the
Nebraska unicameral plan and pre-
sumably the basis for Rep. Klein's
Indiana bill.
Defines Political Philosophy
The political philosophy behind
the unicameral plan is defined by
Senator Norris.
He terms the two-chamber legis-
lature Anticipated and merely an
outgrowth of the old English system
of House Of Lords and House of
Commons. Why, he answers criti-
cism of the unicameral plan, should
there be two branches of a Legisla-
ture, when qualifications of men,
bers of both Houses are exactly the
same?
He points out that their duties
are the same and that maintenance
of two Houses is an unnecessary
burden on the taxpayer in an era
when the tendency in legislative
reform is toward condensation Of
authority.
A one-chamber House is directly
under the public eye, he points out,
and therefore responsibility for leg
islation can be fixed more directly
on the individual member.
