where Hauptmann was convicted
of numbering Charles A. Lind
bergh, Jr., declared open war with
Loney of the department of in
terror, in an examination Of
Hauptmann's old home in New
York yesterday.
Hauck indirectly accused Hoff-
mans own investigators of taking
the evidence upon which Loney
based his claim.
I'm sick of the governors ac-
tions,' he said. IF he tries to
reprieve Hauptmann III fight him
in court. I think the legislature
should investigate"

A feeling grew in Trenton that
Hoffman might nevertheless at

is in so unenviable a political
position as a result OF sponsoring
Hauptmann's cause, that he might

By CLIFF BOGGESS

DR.. S. B. Laughlin, professor OF
Willamette university, who a few
days past voiced his belief that
mental deficients should be done
away with in the interests Of So
city at large, precipitated the
frantic escape Of five inmates OF
the Fairview Home for the feeble
minded. DR.. Laughlin, in taking up
the cry Of the mercy killing "cru-
saders" of this country, missed en-
tirely the motivating precept be-
hind the entire nationwide move
ment. He completely disregarded
the element Of prerogative and
proposed that all cases with a
mental age Of thirty-five months
or less should be Internationally
put to death.
OF course, the whole plan, as
proffered by the learned man, is
completely and disgustingly bar
barrie. Man, even in his most adj
vanced state, cannot deny the
right of moron, imbecile, or even
idiot to hold to life. The lives of
intellectual derelicts are irrefut-
ably their own, to do with as they
wish, and the propagation of their
strain is all that may justiflably
be forbade.

Ask Income Tax
From Relief Work.
ers In L. S.

New York, Feb. LAMP
Somebody is kidding Uncle Sam
and playing a joke, not so practic.
al, on his Internal Revenue Depart
ment here in Harlem. Anonymous
letters to the collector of Income
tax have declared hat a number
of residents of Harlem have had
income which should be taxed.
Some 90 persons received letters
from Deputy Roy Morse to come
down to be questioned concerning
their incomes, among them, a
group of men and women on the
relief rolls and on the WPA pay
rolls whose salaries are less than
one hundred dollars
Not only have thee individuals
been summoned to appear before
Mr.. Morse, but others have had
their books examined, their stores
gone over carefully by representa-
tives of various tax collecting bu-
reaus on the advice of letters
which are purely f~abrications.
At the same time, well known
number bankers and conductors of
illegal businesses have not been
molested and continue to ply their
