BRUNO NOW BUT SIX STEPS FROM
 ELECTRIC CHAIR
Prisoner Taken from Flem- ington to State Prison
 in Trenton
IN COMPANY WITH
 OTHER DOOMED MEN
First Steps Taken for App peal from Conviction
 Says Is Pauper

TRENTON, N. J., Feb. 16.-Bru- no Richard Hauptmann, convicted this week of staying baby Lind bergh, entered the little red brick death house at the state prison here, shortly after l0.30 o'clock this morning, soon after his arrival from Pennington.
 Should he lose his appeal from the conviction, he will take only six steps to the electric chair.
 There are six other prisoners in the death house.
 Ucual Statement
 As Hauptmann walked up the steps of the prison, he asked for a last word before entering. This was granted and he turned to the small crowd and said.
 T am innocent"
 The trip from Remington was uneventful.
 OF FOR TRENTON
 PENNINGTON. N. J.. Feb. 16.-- Bruno Hauptmann was placed in an automobile early this forenoon. under heavy guard. for the trip to the State prison at Trenton and the death cell.
 As he appeared on the front steps of the jail. handcuffed to Warden Henry Crea and It. Allen Smith of the State police, the trio paused for pictures.
 "Con,e and See Me"
 Hauptmann smiled broadly and spoke in German to a representa- tive of the German paper: T am innocent; come and see me- mean ing at Trenton.
 A small crowd was on hand to watch his removal from the local jail to the state prison.
 Despite his cheerful smile, he showed the tension of the nervous strain.
 Talks of Kidnapping
 In an interview last night he de- veloped a new loquacity in post trial protestations of innocence. He expressed the belief that Fisch must have done the Kidnapping. It is funny, but at first I do not think Fisch could have done it, but later do. He can't do it alone either, no he can't"
 Steps for Appeal
 Hauptmann took the first step yesterday in appealing from the conviction, signing a petition to Justice Thomas w. Trenchard ask ing that the defense be supplied with a copy of the trial record at the expense of the state. He swore to a pauper's oath that he could not afford an appeal Of the case otherwise. The petition will be submitted to Justice Trenchard Monday.
 The appeal costs are estimated at about $25,000.

thing in the story to denote the
causes of the so-called farmer re-
volt. we should be able to fix the
blame and help to eradicate it in
the future.
We approach the period of 1914
on the American farm. The previous
decade to this date saw the ending
of a hundred-year trek to new
lands.
The waves of internal emigration
toward the setting sun had by 1914
leveled off to the rippleS of read
justment.
Just as the waters of rising
F'undy tide torrent through the mar
rows of the bay to fill the voids be-
yond, so had the pioneers of the
nineteenth century swirled through
the Ohio Valley to the vacant lands
Of the West and as the waters calm
and slack when the pools are filled
and the balance is struck, just so,
We find levels of the new popula-
ton striking a balance at the be-
ginning of the present century.
Reached High State
The major movement is complete,
the minor eddies of readjustment,
the returnings, the side movements
and the local land openings only re-
main. If ever the American farmer
was content, it was then. He had
vested his desire in the land of his
choice. He became a part of the
landed aristocracy of the new world.
He had not yet lived in it so long as
to become bedridden with customs.
He acknowledged no restraint. In
the pride of ownership of his new
possessions he became the despot of
his domain.
He became the Nations best
spender. About him in the rural
communities sprang up the families
of the thinking members Of his fra
ternity. They were the men who
plowed with their minds the dol
lars turned out of the soil by the
plodding feet of their brothers.
Only Earth Holds Wealth
There are only two sources of
wealth, both lie in the ground. New
wealth is produced only from the
products of the mine and the prod
ucts of the farm. All things that
follow merely transform this wealth
| into different forms.
The man who raised the grass to
feed the sheep that produced the
wool to make the coat that was val
ued at so many dfollars was the
agent in a process. The wool was
the first raw product handled. There
was no new wealth created until the
wool was clipped and thereafter, re-
gardleSS of the amount of labor
spent on that wool, whether it went
into a coat for a peasant or a king,
not a dime of new money developed
from its processing.
The new wealth that was con-
stantly being created was sufficient
to buy the land and leave a surplus.
The surplus strangely enough is the
corpus deficit of this story. On the
spread of this surplus out of con-
troll of its originator sprang up all
of his financial troubles.

Judge McNutt, however, didn't
advocate a high tariff on every
thing. He only wanted help to
get a high tariff on goldfish. He
lives at Martinsville, where the
raising of goldfish is one of the
principal industries.
y
1T seems that, without protec-
l. ton, the Martinsville goldfish
are facing competition from those
shipped here from Japan. These
japanese goldfish are not the
hardy Hoosier type, but are weak
lings sold at dime stores it is
contended.
he goldfish tariff has occu-
pied the timee of many Indiana
statesmen. The former G. o. P.
leader. Senator James Eli Watson,
used to take the Senate floor on
their behalf.
Judge McNutt wants the Demo-
Gratis to do likewise, but it appears
that the tariff issue will not be
reopened this session.
This advocacy of higher tariff
on goldfish recalled the remark
of one of the American greats:
1.-The tariff is a local issue"

leaped to his feet and screamed
liar" at a witness.
But of greater import to him, was
the division of opinion among his
lawyers-the staggering Mr.. Reilly,
the meticulous Frederick A. Pope,
the lanky, earnest Egbert Rosecrans
and the vigorous G. Lloyd Fisher.
Dislike Reilly's System
The country lawyers" have felt
from the beginning that the de-
Tense should establish one theory
and cling to it. Mr.. Reilly, on the
contrary, has insisted upon inject
ing as many theories as could be
found regarding the possibility that
some other person kidnapped and
murdered Charles A Lindbergh Jr.
He has, by innuendo, blamed
members of the Lindbergh house
hold, limited the deed was done by
rum-runners, by the Purple Gang of
Detroit, by mysterious and I'M
named gang in Beckett, Mass, by
enemies of Col. Lindbergh, and by
amateur gangsters associated tn
DR.. John F. Condor.
This growing feeling showed
plainly yesterday. Mr.. Fisher was
presenting in cross examination the
theory that the body recovered from
the grave in the lonely Sourland
hills was not that of Col Lind
bergh's child. Mr.. Reilly minute
later announced the defense con-
coded the body was that of the
Lindbergh child.
Stalks From Courtroom
Mr.. Fisher stalked angrily from
the courtroom. The country
lawyers" had felt that the possibility
of error in the body's identification
was a state weakness.
Some of his associates are fearful
of the effect of Mr.. Reilly's man
ner and courtroom appearance be-
fore a jury of humble countryfolk.
His jaunty air, his big-city dress,
his bluff and hearty mannerismS
and his attempts to shout down
frightened witnesses are not looked
upon favorably in some defense
circles.
Hauptmann's "break" of yesterday
did not surprise Hovey Low, the
moustached and specialized deputy
sheriff whose wrist encircles that
of the prisoner when they come into
court. He has long noticed a
changing disposition in his pris-
| oner.
From other sources it was learned
that Bruno Hauptmann has dis
played in his cell other signs Of
cracking. His temper has become
violent. His easy, rather cynical
manner has dropped from him in
recent days, as soon as he has been
escorted back to his food-lighted
cell, where two guards sit constant
ly with him.
Yet-guilty or innocent-that is
not to be wondered at.

Contested by Weiss
Amendments to S. B. Is, the ma
chine gun measure, offered by Sena-
tor Lawrence E. Carlson Or, Hunt
ington) on second reading, were
contested by Senator Jacob Weiss
Cd, Indianapolis. After some de-
bate, the meaure was made a Spe-
cial order of business for Monday.
Reduction of 1884 delinquent tax
penalties from 10 per cent to per
cent was provided for in H. B. 106,
introduced by Rep. Fred Barrett
Cd, Indianaopli9 Rep. 1. E. Car
ter Cd, Fairmount), and Rep. A. G.
Nordhoff Cd, Jasper. To get this
reduction the person must pay de-
linquent 1884 taxes in 1885.
Showing routine work to one side,
Gov. McNutt meanwhile was con-
centrating on ways and means for
Indiana to join in the Federal plans
for safeguarding the economic Sc
curity of the American people.
His study of the old-age pension
proposals revealed yesterday by
President Roosevelt involved the
necessity of preparing Immediately
for the Legislature and administra-
ton leaders an estimate Of how
much Indiana must spend.
Such an estimate, the Governor
pointed out, necessarily must be in
definite and means revision Of an
already completed survey to con-
form with the national Administra-
ton plans. 1t will be completed as
soon as possible by the State Unem-
ployment Relief Commission.
Additional Funds Needed
Gov. McNutt pointed out in dis
cuSSing the Federal proposals for
old-age pensions that some time
must be devoted to ways and means
because the partly operative Indi-
ana old-age pension legislation af-
fords only a tenuous guide to the
Indiana problem.
The Roosevelt program would
make persons IS and older eligible
to an old-age pension. The partly
operative Indiana plan paid only
persons 10 or older. Dropping of
the age limit five years would mean
3-to-1 increase in pension eligi-
bles, the Governor said he had been
informed.

leaders have been informed. which
puts the question OF its removal
squarely UP 70 the two railroads.
The Missouri Pacific, and the South
eTn Pacific.
Date when representatives OF the
railroads will come TO the Valley
has not been set, Ruff said. but
they are expected to be here within
q week. 10 hold a conference with
the farm leaders and a few other
Valley leaders.
Action Is Described
Ruff recounted the various steps
~ the activities OF the four Valley
men. the other three being Homer
Huntley OF Harlingen. secretary Of
the organization: z. A. Warren OF
Lyford representing W!llacy county:
and A. G. Barnhart OF McAllen,
representing Hidalgo county.
At Houston they held q confer
ence, en- the way north, with rep
reSentatives 0: the Southern Pa
cific lines. They then proceeded TO
Dallas. where they conferred with
attorneys VIC had opposed the DIFF
ferential IN the 1927 hearing. when
It's removal was recommended. but
the recommendation later changed.
AT st. Louis they conferred with
representatives OF the Missouri Pa
cific. WHO offered encouragement TO
them.
In Washington the farm leaders
were met By Congressman Milton
n. West OF this district. who ar
ranged interviews with members OF
the Interstate Commerce commits
sion, and with Senators Connally
and Sheppard.
We found members OF the !. &. 9
interested IN our problem. Ruff said
DIR. w. NJ. Snlawn OF Texas was
particularly interested. and VIC
found that ii was through his in

ter was not Closed when the rest

They returned 10 81. Louis from
Washington. and there were assured
w railroad men OF the conference
in the Valley. more details OF which
we're arranged when they came TO
Houston.
Just who will come TO the Valley
representing the railroads was not
announced. but IL Is believed that
II. r. Stafford and H. NJ. Lull. ex-
ecutive vice presidents Of the Mis-
souri, Pacific and Southern Pacific,
respectively. for Texas will be in

Following q general uprising Of
Valley people two years ago against
the d~ifferential the railroads sent
q delegation 70 this section to con-
fer with Valley people. but the dele
cation had no authority TO express
an opinion. and nothing came Of
the conference.
Ruff IN discussing the difference
between the situation then and the
situation today declared that the
fact that the producers Of 80 per
cent Of the Valleys commodities are
behind the present move. in addi-
ton TO the shippers lends more
force to II. and gives promise OF i'm
mediate action.
We told The railroad officials
that the time has come for the
Valley 70 get rid Of the differentlal.
and that II viii be better for all
concerned II he railroads take the

We cited 70 them the fact that
