HAUPTMANN TO
 ESCAPE DEATH?
Actions of Governor HOff= man of N. J. Seems to
 Lean That Way

Trenton, N. J., Dec. 6-CUP)-New avenues of hope opened today for Bruno Richard Hauptmann, mur- derer of Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr., even if the United States supreme court denies his last possible appeal against the conviction Monday, he still may escape the electric chair. Gov. Harold G. Hoffman and one of the most famous detectives of the country gave the hope to the stolid German carpenter waiting in the death cell of the state prison for the supreme court to say, probably three days hence, where his constitutional right were infringed in his trial.
 Visit Two Months Ago
 Gov. Hoffman revealed that al- most two months ago he paid a night visit to Hauptmann in his cell, talked with him more than an hour, and subsequently, urged other mem bers of the state court of pardons to do likewise. At the same time it was learned that Ellis H. Parker, New Jersey detective who has achieved such professional success that book has been written about him, is conducting @ private investi- gation, and that Hoffman has con- ferred with him several times. Dis closure of Parker's activities gave now significance to several myster- ious trips that have taken Dr. John F. (Jafsie) Condon to the New Eng. land coast recently and reports that bills from the $5O,00O ransom were again appearing in New England cities.
 Hoffman's request that members of the court of pardons visit Haupt- mann in his cell conjured up pie

Copyright, 1885, by United PressD
 Addis Ababa, December 6 = Ital- ian. war planes heavily bombarded Emperor Halle Selassie's war head quarters at Dessye today and siinul- taneously were reported to have started general bombarding of- fensive all along the northern war front.
 Ethiopian towns were the target for showers of bombs all the way from Makale to the Sudan. The bombings were considered the prob- able signal for a new general of- fensive by the italians to forestall the attack planned by Halle Selassie in the east.
 In the bombing of Dessye, a fleet of great three-motored Caproni bombers flew over the town, drop ping perhaps 7700 bombs.
 It was apparent that the emperors palace was the main target.

Mayor Hayes Turned Do,un Local Airport
Must Expend Sl25,OOO Alone for Land on Mount Tobe-Taxes Would Be Increased-City Would
 Accept Land as Gift Under Conditions

Mayor Frank Hayes today turned down 8 petition filed with him re- rently calling for the acquisition by Waterbury of the Plymouth airport located on Mount Tobe. Reluctance to spend the taxpayers money at this time for property located in an- other town was expressed by the mayor in refusing to sanction the purchase of the land involved. Such a step at this time would involve the spending of $125, 900, alone, for the land and would necessarily result, according to Mayor Hayes, in an increase in the tax rate.
 1t was also pointed out by the mayor in his refusal to buy the air. port property that the city would accept the land as gift provided g responsible corporation was formed to maintain and operate the airport and also provided that such main- tenance and operation would be con- tinued until such corporation had been reimbursed to the extent of its investment from the profits of the enterprise.
 The petition reads as follows: Mayor Frank Hayes,
 Waterbury, Conn.
 Dear Sir:-
 In the interest of the growth and future progress of Waterbury, we believe that consideration should be given to a municipal airport for Waterbury.
 The success of any community in no small measure is depend ent upon its transportation facili- ties. Waterbury from 8 railroad standpoint has always been just a bit off the beaten path which has hindered us at least in passenger service between New York and Boston. Despite this handicap, not large one to be sure, Wa terbury nevertheless has made progress and will continue to do so.
 We believe, therefore, that any steps taken toward the improve menf of every possible transpOr- tation facility is we'll worthy of consideration.
 Even though in Waterbury we have not yet had a working air. port, still today in air express Waterbury does more shipping than any other city in New Eng land except Boston and ranks third in air mail shipments. To be sure, such shipments would be sent to other cities for loading. In the event of a sometime air port it is believed that air mail and express facilities will un- doubtedly be accorded the city.
 From business standpoint, we believe manufacturers, merchants and residents of this city would be ultimately benefited by the quick transportation accorded by air. We believe, too, that con- sidering the marvellous strides made the country over in air transportation of mail, passengers and express that it would soon be- come almost 8 necessity, that is, that an industrial city of this size have a first class airport

CASH LENDERS
WELCOME ALL
SEEKING FUNDS
Propositions of Merit Given
Ready Ear by Under
writing Houses.
By Times Special

By I mcs Special
NEW YORK, July 12.-Under-
writing houses are developing a toll
Grant attitude toward new ventures
requiring the raising Of outside
capital. 1t is getting to be compare
lively easy to get the ear of a
financing executive with propo-
sition. There is less Of a tendency
to sidetrack, at a clerks desk in the
outer Office, the man or woman who
comes along with an idea that needs
money for its promotion.
This is not meant to imply that
financing houses are taking up
propositions carelessly or indis-
criminately. 1t means, rather. that
this is the borrowers day, wherein
the lender welcomes him at least
long enough to hear his story.
Not Bowed Out
A suppliant for funds with which
to get a business going is not bowed
out of an Office with little more
than a hasty glance at highly poll
ished desks, as in day not SO far
agone,
The reason for this is explained
simply. Money is looking for job
in some instances for any kind of
Job. This is the golden age for
business ideas-an open season for
laying propositions before the big
money bosses.
According to the word heard
around the corridors, the financing
executives search more intensely
for the good points than for the
bad ones in sizing up a proposition.
If it looks like an even chance for
earning little something on capital
it gets a most cordial reception.
The Treasury Offer
The Treasury does it financing
with assurance. Borrowing money is
just about as simple as assessing
taxes. In either case the govern
ment is sure of getting the re-
quested money, and at its own
terms.
This weeks offering of $500, 100000
of Short-term notes was attractive
or unattractive, depending upon the
point of view. One-eighth of
point was shaved from the last
coupon rate of ~ per cent. The
rate is still sliding downward. But
in the meantime the 112s market
wise have climbed to price that
yields only 1872 per cent, merely
because investment sources want
them and bid for them.
Even the 19Ss began to command
premium in the trading market
almost before the ink on the Treas-
urys offer had dried. To put up
money to earn only 19s per cent for
the next four years and five months
may cause a nightmare for some OF
the shades of yesterday, but scam
ming the list of government securi.
ties notes paying that rate look like
bargain. 4

BANKING CODE STRICT
hdianaS Supervision Broad, ActiUe

banks charged their customers for
the privilege of depositing their
funds.
Thus, with banking institutions
becoming privately owned institu-
lions il became necessary for the
state to exercise regulation over
them. Multiple laws have been
passed in Indiana in the interim to
safeguard the public's interest.
Exercising this supervision in In
diana TODAY is the Department OF
Financial Institutions, one of the
most unique and most complete
regulatory bodies in the country.
This body came into existence July
l, 1888, succeeding the Indiana
Banking Department which in turn
had been in existence since 1920. AL
though credit for the formation o.
the department can be extended TO
quite few persons, goodly portions
must be given to Walter S.
Greenough, vice president of the
Fletcher Trust Co., and Herman B.
Wells. present secretary and bank
supervisor.
The best commentary on the de-
partment, which prior to its legal
creation studied regulation of f1nan-
cial institutions all over the country
as well as abroad, is that certain
sections of the national Banking
Act of 1888 were patterned after the
Indiana law. The provisions relative
to banks are probably the most
