 States Claimed For BOrah. Political Soothsayers are certain tables of possible Borah strength when the republicans meet next June. One of these estimated he win have 209 first choice delegate votes by June. These votes would come from the following states.
 Idaho, 8; Montana, 8; North Carolina, 24; Oregon, 10: Washing ton, 16; Maine 13; Nevada, 6; North Dakota, 8: Wisconsin, 24; Wyoming 6, Minnesota, 9; New Mexico, 6; Ohio, 52; Utah, 6. Total 209.
 Dates For Primaries.
 Only four of the foregoing states are among the republican primary group. After New Hampshire, re- publican primaries take place in this order, according to republican cam paign Headquarters:
 March: North Dakota.
 April: Wisconsin. New York, Ill., inois, Pennsylvania and Massa- chusetts.
 May: Maryland, California, South Dakota, Ohio, West Virginia, Ore- gon and New Jersey.
 Borah generally was recognized as a candidate of mid-western, noun tain and far western states. Strat- egy of his eastern and southern supporters is to prevent anti-Borah leaders in the populous, powerful eastern industrial states and in the controllable southern constituencies from sending instructed delegates to Cleveland.
 Theodore Roosevelt's 1912 cam paign demonstrated the importance of southern republican delegates in a free-for-all contest which devel- oped when bull moosers bolted the re-nomination candidacy of William Howard Taft.
 What Roosevelt Earned
 Roosevelt carried nine of the 12 primaries that year; the late Sen. Robert M. LaFollette carried two; Taft carried Massachusetts. But Taft was nominated, nevertheless, largely by votes of southern repub- lican delegates who were controlled by the administration.
 Theodore Roosevelt made the greatest possible use of the primary system in 1912 and practical poli- ticians believe Borah's strategy should be the same this year. The tie between southern republican or ganizations and the old guard anti Borah leadership at this time is not comp" able to the hold Taft possesscM cMp the south in 1912 by virtue c ...s occupancy of the White House and control of patron age.
 Borah is now canvassing the pri- mary situation. especially in Ohio,

Trenton, ~. J., Dec. 26-UP)- Fear that he may not escape the electric chair broke through Bruno Richard Hauptmann's stOlid de- meanor for the first time today, while Col. Charles A. Lindbergk and his family fled through a stormy sea toward England to es- cape threats of another crime similar to his. In g brief emotional Outburst Hauptmann revealed that he had hoped that interrogation of Lindbergh by the court of par- dOns, or a plea to him to consent to mercy, might save his life. The hope died when his wife told him Tuesday that Lindbergh, his wife, Anne, and their three year old son, Jon, had embarked secretly for England In the s. S. American Importer.
 Why Didn't He Stay
 "Why didn't he say and face 1t out?" Hauptmann cried. Then he relapsed into . morose silence which persisted through Q lonely Christmas day i'm his death house cell His single Christmas present,

Of No Consequence
 San Francisco, Dec 26.-(UP)- The Rt. Rev. Edward L. Parsons, Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal diocese of California, said today a statement urging reunion of his church with the Roman Catholic Church issued by the Church Unity Octave Council in New York was "of no consequence"
 T have never heard of this coun- cil and don't know what 1t is," he said. However, what 1t charges is manifestly nonsense. It certainly is not representative of the church"

BUSINESS MEN
 DID NOT TESTIFY

New York, Dec. 26.-(UP)-The extraordinary grand jury investigat- ing racketeering reported today that it was shocked" at the reluctance of businessmen to testify against racketeers "victimizing many of the industries in this city"
 The grand jury filed report of its three-and-half months labors with Supreme Court Justice Philip McCook in anticipation of its dis solution.
 "This rackeetring." the report said, "is largely centralized in the hands of dozen or IS major crim- inals, most of them totally unknown to the public. Our experience indi- cates that the real powers behind the rackets rarely endeavor to achieve notoriety."

Interest, PENALTY
OFF UNTIL DEC. |

Senate Bill No. 55, passed by the
legislature and sigrod by Governor
COoney March 5, 1885, provides for
the cancellation of penalty and inter
est on all taxes that were delinquent
December 1, 1884, provided they are
paid before December /, 1885.
Similar laws have twice before
been held unconstitutional by the
Montana supreme court. The presena
law, In a recent test suit, WIS held
constitutional by the highest tribu
nal. The court held that neither pen
atty or interest Is part OF the tax
ana therefore their abolition does
not constitute violation Of the con
stitution.
IN previous decisions the court
had held that the penalty and inter
est were considered the enforcement
clauses of the tax and therefore a
part Of it and their remission for
hidden by the constitution
Answering a query from county
treasurer Paul Kurtz, the state ex-
aminer's office advised that five
points OF the law had been referred
to the attorney general. No informa-
tion has been received by the local
treasurer as to how or whether re-
funds Of penalty and interest paid
since the law became effective, will
be made. 1t Is also not known wheth-
er the law applies to all taxes OF
only taxes on real estate.
Taxes not paid by Dec. 1, 1895. will
not be effected by the act, but will
bear the full amount of penalty and
interest just as though the act had
not been passed.
