ets," Mr.. Reilly said today. He
added:
"The money for this defense
didn't come from any dye trusts
or German outfits. The four
counsel in this case are now out
$4,000 cash, besides the time
and business they have lost
while handling the case"
Mr.. Reilly characterized the
death verdict against Hauptmann
as "a great miscarriage of justice"
Judge Criticized
He said the appeals the defense
will take will be based largely on
the tention that Justice
Trenchard was unfair and biased
in his instructions to the jury.
Cost of the Hauptmann appeal
will run up to $4,000, the defense
estimates. They said it would be
necessary to raise funds for this
purpose from persons who believe
in the innocence of Hauptmann
and perhaps from German organi.
cations sympathetic to the pris-
Oner.
Mr.. Reilly looked tired and worn
just before he, Mr.. Fisher and Mr..
Rosecrans went to the Jail to
cheer up Hauptmann and assure
him they were planning to fight
for him to the last ditch. Mr..
Reilly said:
'The appeal in Hauptmann's
behalf will be taken within thirty
days. The appeal will be taken
mainly on the judges charge,
which we contend was a summa-
ton for the State.

with which Justice Trenchard

TRADE WAR Up
To PRESIDENT
International News Service

Charges that Russia and
Japan are waging a !Fade war
on the United States we're made
at the White House today by
Senator Buckley 3D. Of Ohio,
and Senator Nicely CD of West
Virginia. who asked Administra-
ton action to protect American
industries.
The two Senators said they
were interested primarily in halt
ing competition on cheap Japa-
nese and Russian importations
which include Russian matches
and japanese and Belgian glass
ware, toys and rubber goods
which provide competition for
standard American products.
President Roosevelt was repre-
Sented as being very much In
terested in the problem. The
Senators suggested either an in
creased tariff or the establish.
ment of quotas unless some &C.
ton was taken under the recip'
rocal trade negotiations con-
templated by the State Depart
ment.

face had deepened through the
anxious days of the trial.
After the first outbreak of
hysteria there came something
strangely akin to that stole calm
which impelled America to label
her son a man of STEEL"
She dried her tears, declined
further aid from two elderly
women friends who had sat with
her throughout the night, and
went forth into the street with
her market bag.
Resident of this little town
marvelled at her calm and self
control. But they remembered
that in all the agonizing months
since her son was arrested, Frau
Hauptmann had not broken"
Separa ed by thousands of
miles, Frau Pauline and Bruno
Richard were still mother and
son. The self-possession that en-
abled the prisoner to stand I'M
flinching before the bar of JUS
tice during his trial was present
in his mother also.
Blames Money
When she returned home Frau
Hauptmann went Immediately
about her housework. She stopped
long enough to discuss the fate
of her son with incredible calm.
She said:
"Lindbergh is a rich fellow.
He can have anything he wants
for his money. We're poor
devils. We can't do anything
against money.
"We've always been honest
and Woodworking people and
pulled through with a clean
record. I don't know what got
my SON into this trouble. He
should have had more money.
Then he wouldn't have been
sentenced to DEATH"
Suddenly Frau Hauptmann
walked to a desk and picked up
pen and paper and said:
'T'm going to write to Richard
right away. I'll try and make
| him happy"

Save Her Son, Mother
Begs President

KAMENZ, Germany, Feb. IA
O.N.sO.-A letter asking mercy
for Bruno Richard Hauptmann
was sent to President Roosevelt
today by the condemned mans
mother, Frau Paulina Haupt-
mann.
Besieged by an army of news
paper men in her little cottage
here, Frau Hauptmann acceded
to the suggestion of one of them
that she write the Chief Execu-
tive.
In the missive, which she
promptly posted, Frau Haupt.
mann pleaded for a milder sem
tence, citing her poverty, old age
and certainty of her sons limo
cence.
She sobbed bitterly when she
was awakened, white-faced, at
dawn to hear the Pennington YER
dict and exclaimed:
81 cannot believe it. No! my
SON is not guilty. The guilty
ones are the people who wanted
to convict him."
PICTURE ON WALL
She sank into a seat between
two elderly women friends in her
modest living room. A little Goa
fire cracked in the crate be-
meath two old-fashioned cup
boards. Photographs of Bruno
Richard and her other children
looked down from the walls.
Clenching and unclenching her
hands, Frau Hauptmann took
little consolation in the assurance
that the defense would carry the
appeal to the highest courts. She
continued:
Richard always told me he
was innocent. I am sure he did
not do what they said. He
loved his little SON Mannfried

ways have his own son in
mind"

which he outlined as such in his
resolution, include:

5. In some instances admins
traitors have not hesitated to
suspend and revoke laws for the
benefit of favored individuals.
s. Price fixing is extending tc

Z. Regulations are deliberately

bent upon the oppression Of
weaker competitors.

Wage Scales Put to Fore BY
Senator McCarran, Carry
ina Battle to Floor
BY WILLIAM X. HUTCHINSON

Currency initiation, government
credit, wage scales and the cash
bonus were raised as battle is
sues today as the Senate began
consideration of President RooSe-
velt's four billion eight hundred
eighty million dollar work relief
bill.
The contest over wages threat
ened to overshadow the other
issues. The American Fedora
ton of Labor rallied every union
worker in America to support its
demand for a provision, COM
polling payment of prevailing
wage rates. ON all relief pro-
jectS.
President Roosevelt directly op-
posed this provision. His plan
called for payment Of mere sub
Sistence wages, averaging about
$50 q month, on all projects.
He won a victory in the Senate
Appropriations Committee, when
the federation's plan was rejected.
Fight Goes to Floor
Senator McCarran 3D. Of Ne
vada. carried the wage fight to
the floor of the Senate. He
sponsored the federation'S plan
and denounced O substitute, APP
proveo by the committee, which
would permit payment of pre-
vailing wage rates only If an in
quiry revealed payment of the
lower subsistence wages was tend
ing to reduce private wages in
any community. Said Mr.. Nc
Carran:
"ThiS substitute is a red
herring drawn across the trail
to confuse the issue. It seeks
to lock the stable door after
the horse is stolen. We seek
to prevent q general Slashing
Of wages all over the country.
This substitute promises to con-
TESS a tragic mistake after
wage levels have been destroy
ed"

ployed, but without robbing them
OF the incentive to find private
employment at higher wages.
Another stiff battle will be
fought over the Government credit
issue. Senator Adams CD OF
Colorado and Senator Glass CD
Of Virginia were the leaders in q
movement to substitute a larger
dole fund for the work relief ap
preparation.
They charged construction OF
unnecessary relief projects, simply
to provide jobs for unemployed

jury rendered a just verdict but
that Hauptmann is a long way

Well, I got a lot of letters

that it knocks you off the re-

General Mitchell denounced the

and decried the sentiment spring

said:

The Navy Department was
branded as "stpuid" by the fiery
general in the case of the Akron,
who asserted:
"They changed commanding
officers on the Akron six times
in a year. The airship is the
hardest thing to handle Of any

General Mitchell urged that
the United States assign some
of it's experts to duty with the
German Zeppelin Company as
well as Subsidize an American
company to establish a round.the-
world Zeppelin service. He added
that the airship Los Angeles. now
decommissioned, is still in a
sound condition and could be
used. He said:
"The whole thing lies in

Navy nor the War Department
should have anything to do
with the Zeppelin. They took

''If that had happened in
