TRENTON, N. j., April l9.-
UP).-Dr. John +. (JafSie) Con
don has been requested to appear
before the Mercer county grand
Jury Wednesday in connection
with the jury's investigation of
the repudiated confession of Paul
II. Wendell in the kidnapping of the
Lindbergh baby, Foreman Allyne
M. Freeman said last night.
Condor, who paid $4,000 as
nepotiator in an effort to ransom
Charles A. Lindbergh, Jr, will be
questioned in relation to the Wen
del case and not about his connec-
ton with the executed Bruno
Hauptmann, Freeman said.
Freeman said a telegram had
been sent to Condor asking him
to appear.
The foreman of the jury whose
investigation of the Wendell case
gave Hauptmann three-day stay
in his last week also confirmed a
report that Mahlon b. Foster, of
BelIefonte, n. j., has been sub
noenaed 10 appear before the
grand Jury Tuesday. Mahlon is
reported to have said that Wen
del, disbarred Trenton attorney,
once told him he had been asSoci-
ated with AL CapOne in illicit al
cohol traffic.
Wendell has .repudiated con
fession to kidnapping the Lindbcrgh
baby, which he said was forced
from him by men who kidnapped
him in New York City and took
him to Brooklyn, where he was
tortured until he signed the con-
fession. Then he was removed to
New Jersey where he was surren-
dered to Mercer county authori-
ties by Ellis Parker, noted Bur-
Ilington county detective.

price fer their raw material than
ever before received.
This venture poyed to be so
satisfactory that during the fan
OF 1884 a group OF dairymen in
Stafford Valley, Arizona. followed
the same procedure as Buckeye
Valley. The same or perhaps
haps greater satisfaction has been
obtained in both net returns and
service.

famous all ever the nation. I'M
perial Valley is the only section
in the country that furnishes head
lettuce TO the nation during the
mid-winter months.
Net many years ago lettuce was
regarded as a luxury. Only a small
quantity was marketed from hot
houses and comparatively few
gardens. Then Imperial Valley
made the nation lettuce-conscious
Back in 1915 five cars of lettuce
were shipped out, the forerunner
OF thousands. The industry was
then IN its infancy and careful
tests and experiments were car
ried on to determine the best type
of lettuce suited to marketing. The
result was the iceberg type that
forms the bulk of valley shipments.
Shipping Jumped
In the next ID years after let
tuce growing got under way in
the valley, shipping jumped to
10000 cars a year from the valley
alone. Other districts began to
wake up until before long well ever
$4,000 carloads of lettuce were be-
ing shipped TO the nations din
ner tables
While blizzards rake most of
the United States. lettuce is being
shipped from Imperial Valley.
Shipments start in December and
continue we'll into March. The
fact that ether districts are under
snow when Imperial Valley is en-
Joying the best growing weather.
offers the valley a direct market.
This fact alone gives Imperial VAL
ley the jump on all other areas.
Weather Difficulties
The industry has not been with
out difficulties. Weather has at
times hit the industry hard. Heavy
rains can create havoc. Fortunate
ly, adverse weather conditions are
infrequent and seldom interfere
with picking.
One big obstacle overcome by
lettuce men has been the danger
of blight. Not long ago the disease
destroyed many fields before mat
urity. The government came to the
rescue, however. and DR.. Ivan
Jaeger, expert pathologist, devel-
oped a number Of strains that re-
sist disease. Even so, experiments

educated to the fact that Imperial

Valleys shipments are far superior
to competitors.
The men behind the lettuce H.
dustry in the valley are for The
most part pioneers i'm the field.
They had the coura5e and tore-
sight IN the early days to visualize
the extent 10 which the industry
would grow and invested their
money and future in the valley.
All Sections Produce
Nearly all sections of the valley
produce lettuce. One CT the most
typical sights is the ordered, green
fields alive with workers during
harvest time. Motorists come to
take as a matter of course the
caravans Of trucks loaded heavily
with shipments Ct green produe
travelling off to far away markets.
Hundreds upon hundreds Of
workers find employment in the
lettuce fields each year and tran
sient laborers make the valley
regular stopping place each sea
son. From planting time to harvest
the industry offers a means of
livelihood to an untold number of
families. An average of 10000 acres
is devoted to the crop that every
year greetS the snOW-bound east
from Imperial Valleys green fields.
Every indication points to con-
tinued growth for the industry
and many leaders predict the pres
ent development IS only the begin

With the presidential conven-
tions starting in q couple Of weeks.
Congress today faced the posSi.
bility of remaining in session to
complete its legislative program
while the two major parties choose
their nominees for the 1885 race.
Administration leaders were
striving desperately for an i'd
journment between June ! and
June 5. President Roosevelt'S de-
mand for enactment Of q new tax
bill and a $500 million dollar re.
lief fund threatened to prolong
the session and force the legiSla-
tors to remain here while other
party leaders attend the conven-
tionS in Cleveland and Philadel-
phia.
Held Here Last Time
This was the case in 1882 when
Congress met throughout both con-
ventions In Chicago. A few 'legis-
lators slipped away to participate
in drafting party platforms and
choosing the nominees.
Aside from the tax bill and re-
lief fund, Congress was confronted
with q number Of other legislative
problems. The 308 million dollar
wilson Copeland flood control bill
was tied up in the Senate Com.
merce Committee.
The Navy Bill Pressing
A companion bill, giving flood
protection to the entire lower
Mississippi Valley. has passed the
Senate and must be approved by
the House.
The Navy bill rests in 0 House
committee, and few legislators
would care to adjourn without
passing it.
A new problem was presented
when Senator Fletcher D0 Of
Florida sponsored q series Of
amendments to the banking laws
which banking authorities insist
