PRODUCE MARKET NOTES

/ Early Reaehes Coming In Quantity
The early peach season is well
under way but arrivals continue
rather light. A few express ship
ments are coming from the caro-
linas, besides the fairly liberal early
shipments from Georgia. Demand
has been moderate and prices tended
downward with the increasing sup
plies. Some high-cOlOred North
Carolina fruit brought SO to $3.50
per crate, but much fruit has been
selling at $3.50 to $1.75. Arrivals
are fairly good in color and flavor
hut sizes are small as yet.
The watermelon supply has been
catching up with the season and
daily carlOt shipments now exceed
those Of early June last year. The
market is rather weak despite favor
able weather. Much of the supply
runs to large sizes of good quality.
CarlOt prices In northern markets
dropped $25 to $50 early in the
month in eastern cities. and small
to large sizes ranged $500 to $500
per carload. Prices dropped, about
S25 in Florida producing sections,
where the range of medium sizes
was SS5 TO S10O per carload. Whole
sale quotations in northern markets
ranged 35c- to soc.
Potato Market Weak
Prices of old potatoes have shown
repeated tendency to sag toward
lowest levels of the season because
of light demand Sales are made in
northern Maine around 25c per 100
pounds sacked and 40c was about
top In eastern and mid-western pro-
ducing sections. Chicago sagged
back to the low point near SOC but
recovered slightly. There was little
change in eastern city markets,
which ranged from SOC to 81 per 100
pounds on Maine potatoes. New
crop potatoes held. values better than
the old crop.
Cabbage shipments have been light
this season and prices comparatively

have been only about 10000 cars,
compared with 1880 last season to

and prices mostly soc to S5c per

the past two seasons. About a dozen
other states are shipping.

FORGET.ME-NOT DAY

Carroll Van Court
My "ScOttie" needs no calendar,
He never stops to wait,
To see when there's a holiday;
He doesn't watch the date.
He doesn't wait till Christmas comes
To do a kindly act;
He'll give me, every day he can,
His courage, love, or tact.
Forget-me-nots should be his crown,
And he would wear it well;
For many a goodly deed he's done
For me, that / could tell.
So let's be kind to dog or horse,
So noble in his giving;
I'm sure his pattern would be quite
A good design for living!

Out of the embers as the flame;

With a grace and beauty none could

It was evident, from the ques- tions the astute Brooklyn lawyer was hurling at the witness, that he intended to develop his sensational theory that Dr Condon himself might have participated in the kid naping.
 .. I am handing you exhibits SAT and S48. Condon gazed at the 1 attorney and slowly put on his glasses to read the exhibits. A. I received that. c. And in response to this note you said you went past Jerome | avenue station to a hamburger stand?
 A. Right.
 c. Where did you get this note?
 A. I picked that note up under the rock.
 c. The note you picked up un- der the rock bears no symbol?
 A. Right. c. Now will you describe again your trip from your house to the Jerome avenue station? A. l asked MT Alfred J. Reich If he would go with me to carry out the provision of the note.
 c. When you got past the Jer- ome subway station where did you go?
 A. To the frankfurter stand.
 c. Doctor, tell us how far the frankfurter stand was from the tation?
 A. From 100 to 150 feet.
 c. What time of night was that?
 A. Between a quarter of eight and half past eight.
 Reilly exhibited a photograph of the area around the stand. He asked the doctor to place the var ious objects in the vicinity. Reilly himself, trying to establish the To- cation of the subway station slowly moved his arm until Jafsie said whoa"
 c. Did you see anybody around the frankfurter stand?
 A. l saw an automobile and somebody was in 1t.
 c. How many people in 1t?
 A. saw only one. c. Did you ee anything else? A. Yes, another automobiles country automobile with 6 canvas cover on it. Jafsie was quite as positive In | his replies to Reilly to-day aS ne was yesterday. and there was ap- parently less confusion in his mind.
 Reilly continued to pound away on the fact that there was no sym bol on the firt note sreceived by him, while A econd note, enclosed with the first, bore at the end the mytic circles In red and blue, that identified all the othe ransom notes.
 c. The lighting was good there that night?

 He indicated thath as soon as Inc put Dr Condon under redirect ex. animation, he would clear up al doubtful points raised by the de- fense.
 Connecting F1sch
 In questions asked of pr. John x (Jafsie) Condon, Edward J Reilly laid stress upon the fact that the man who negotiated with him for Col. Lindbergh's $50.00O ransom had a bad cough"
 Fisch, the man who according to Hauptmann gave him the ran som money that was found :n his possession, died of tuberculosis in Germany.
 Reilly asked whether the cough of the man who held the mystcri- Ous interview with Jafsle in q Bronx cemetery "came from the lung" Jafsie said 1t did, b::t admit teo that 1t was bad enough to at- tract his sympathy for the over coatless man who sat beside him trying to persuade him to turn over the ransom money. F1sch, 1t was recalled, knew he was doomed to die within a few months when he left America. He paid for his passage in ransom bills. Four months later, he died on his native soil. Before he left, heturned all his possessions over to Hauptmann, Including, accord ing to the stolid Bronx carpenter, a shoe box which contained nearly $15,000 in the ransom bills.
 Fisch and Hauptmann had been in partnership, Hauptmann says, fin the fur business. The defense said today they would bring to the witness stand persons who will prove they bought furs from that partnership.
 Hinted at Gang
 The defense strategy revolved, again, around their theory that the crime was committed by a gang rather than lone wolf.
 In reading over the ransom notes received by Dr CondoD, Reilly roared each reference to i've" he found in them. He plans to attack the case against the former n.a- chine gunner of the imperial Ger man army on the technical grounds that the indictmen, against him alleges that Haupt- mann alone conceived and exc. cuted the crime.
 The Bronx school master was ir hne fettle as he parricd Reilly, questions.
 He met belligercncy with snapp, retorts. He instructed counsel no to shout at him, because I'm no deaf" Occasionally he waggled ar impressive finger in Reilly's direc tion, as though he were admonish ing a pupil.

 Dr Condon bowed to Justice Trenchard and to the jury. Thcl he slipped slowly from glass 0 water.

ton coupled with Lindbergh's
 voice as that of the ransom iden- lector, and the discriminating iden-
 tification of two other witnesses,
 made their case air-tight. De-
 fense counsel contended 1t had
 Jafsie in a "tight hole" and would force him to discredit him. self to-day.
 Jafsie identified Hauptmann as the man to whom he talked for
 an hour in Woodlawn cemetery during the preliminary ransom ue- gotiations.
 He identified Hauptmann as the man in St Raymond's cemetery
 to whom he passed $50,000 ran-
 som money.
 He said that during the conver- sation in Woodlawn cemetery he showed Hauptmann two safety pins
 and asked him if he knew what they were.
 "Yes," he quoted Hauptmann as
 replying, those are the pins that
 were used to fasten the baby's covers in the crib."
 Hc Lectured Reilly There was nothing pathetic about the old man as he shouted and ranted against his detractors- He read lectures to Reilly-in
 psychology, in philosophy, phil- ology, and good English. He shook his finger in the face
 of the defense counsel and asked him to speak "good English.

 Koehler will testify that ths
 wood used in the kidnap ladder ls of the timber grown in only two parts of the country--in upper New York state and in a section of Wisconsin. Lumber from tho Wisconsin section was shipped by
 the National mill and lumber com pany, a Bronx distributing firm. It has been ascertained that
 Hauptmann bought lumber from
 the Bronx firm that distributed
 the Wisconsin product. It is also
 matter Of record that an 18-inch
 length of wood missing from the floor of the attic in the Haupt- fnann's Bronx home fits snugly
 into a groove of the kidnap lad
 der.
 Experts Are Coming After Koehler will come the ex- perts--men versed in the microsco- pic quirks of handwriting. They will testify that the handwriting in the ransom notes corresponds with handwriting that Hauptmann was forced to inscribe after his arrest. They also will say 1t cor- responds with the handwriting on
 his automobile license application. When the defense opens its case, Hauptmann's lawyers will bring their own handwriting experts to the stand who will testify that Hauptmann's script bears no re- semblance to that of the ransom notes.
 To-day is the day that Reilly promised to name four persons two men and two women--as the
 kidnapers. He already has begun
 to hedge on that promise and the
 last thing he said on the subject
 was that nobody is going to bully
 me into doing this until get good
 and ready"
 He was referring to demands by
 the state that if he had evidence duplicating anybody in the kidnap- ing, 1t was his duty to step for-
 ward and present 1t to the court. Reilly says Jafsie has only begun to get the full fury of his cross examination.

 Bennington, N. J., Jan 10.- (UP)-Dr John E. Condon, aged but vigorous professor who paid $50,000 to a man posing as the Lindbergh kidnaper, returned to the witness stand to-day for the severest possible cross-examina- ton.
 Attorney Edward J. Reilly was determined to "break" the key witness of New Jersey in it's at- tempt to send his client, Bruno Richard Hauptmann, to the elec- tric chair for the murder of Col Charles A. Lindbergh's baby.
 Reilly Rescnts It
 Reilly, obviously resenting the general impression that the "A year old school teacher bested him during two hours of cross examin- ation yesterday afternoon, intim- ated he would keep Condon on the stand all day. But aside from personal vanity, it was essential to his case that he either obtain some modification of the positive manner in which Condon Identified Hauptmann as the ransom collec- tor. and, by implication, as q kidnaper, or discredit him in the eyes of the jury.
 Not once, but three times, in a loud voice, carefully enunciating every syllable, Condon said the mysterious John to whom he paid the ransom in St Raymonud cem- etery, the Bronx, was Hauptmann It was the most damaging evidence the state has elicited to date against the taciturn German car penter.
 Six foot, weighing more than 200 pounds, possessing the endur- ance of an athlete, Condon spen, yesterday afternoon on the stand. He lectured judge, attorneys, and jury, more or less took direction of the trial himself, responded courteously to the Interrogation oi Attorney General David T. Wi lentz, directing the prosecution and precisely matched the tactics of Reilly when he opened cross. examination.
 Scored But One Point Reilly had succeeded in scoring only one point, which attorneys for the state said was due to his in. sistence on yes or no answers. This will be cleared up immediately on redirect examination, they said. The point was the insinuation that Condon might have inserted the ad signed Jafsie offering to be an intermediary not as an innocent party shocked by a brutal crime but as a member of the kidnap conspiracy.
 Reilly gave him two notes Con- don received from the kidnapcr al thA Asame time. Ono notified him he had been accepted as intermedi. ary. The other was sealed, ad- dressed to Lindbergh. His note was not signed by the strange sym. bol by which the kidnaper iden- tified himself. The one to Lind- bergh was 50 signed, and Condon said so. Reilly was on him in a flash. How did he know 1t was signed if the letter was sealed? Be- fore Condon could answer, Reilly was off on another path.
 States attorneys said Condon Knew because he telephoned Lind- bergh immediately and Lindbergh autohrized him to open the sealed envelope so that he could read the contents over the phone.

Vigorous steps to protect the public
from hy-by-nisht real estate Arms and
others taking advantage Of the ma
tional housing act to practice fraud
are being taken by the Federal Hous-
ing Administration, in cooperation
with the Department Of Justice.
One instance recently reported was
that of q real estate Arm in an East

local newspapers false statement
that the Federal Housing Admins
tration had approved a low-cost hous-
ing project in that community, giving
the location. The next day an ad-

adjoining the allesedly approved
project"
The Federal Housing Administra-
ton took prompt steps to protect the
public from fraud in this case. as 1t
had not approved the project nor
had 1t been consulted in any way.
Equally prompt steps will be taken
wherever else such frauds occur. Any
offense against the national housing
act is just as much a crime as the
violation Of any other Federal statute.
Offenders will be vigorously pros
ecuted by the Federal Government,
and those found guilty face terms in
Federal prisons.
While some instances OF violation
of the act and Of the regulations of
the Federal Housing Administration
are being prosecuted. such instances
have been comparatively few. but to
warrant a warning to the public.
