2 UNDERWORLD FI6URES SOUGHT IN LINDT CHASE Pair of Known Kidnapers Seen in New Jersey Prior to Crime. BY BATES RANEY United Pre** Staff Corrrioondent HOPEWELL, N. J., March 24. Two underworld characters, called kidnapers," were sought today as police continued their efforts to find -some clew to the kidnaping of baby Charles Augustus Lindbergh Jr. Abie Wagner, known in New York underworld circles, and Harry Fleischer, former member of the Detroit “pumle gang," are the two men police am.ounced they wanted to question. Neither has been seen for several weeks and raids at various places they were reported to be have been futile. According to the morning police . tatement by Colonel H. Norman Schwartzkopf, Wagner was seen about the central part of New Jersey shortly before the kidnaping. Believed Together Since then he has not been seen and his actions at. the time of the kidnaping have not been reported. The police statement added that unsubstantiated reports reaching them were that Wagner and Fleischer were associated now. Meanwhile, hundreds of other reports and vague tips arc being checked. None has developed anything worthwhile in the attempt to find the curly-haired child stolen from its crib in the Lindbergh estate March 1. Although police have said he had no information of value, H. Wallace Caldwell, former president of the Chicago board of education, returned to Chicago today and said he still is working on the case. He said authorities had warned him against giving out too much information, but added: “I am very hopeful the outcome will be satisfactory." Police Statement Given The text of the morning police statement: “Abie Wagner, reported as a kidnaper, was alleged to have been seen around the central part of New Jersey shortly before the kidnaping. Since the kidnaping he has not been seen nor accounted for in any way. It is desired to find Abie Wagner for the purpose of questioning him and having him account for his activities just prior to and at the time of the kidnaping. "Investigation covering the whole I of New Jersey, New York City, Long | Island, Philadelphia and various i parts of Pennsylvania have not as I yet disclosed his whereabouts. Harry Fleischer, also a known kidnaper i and involved in the police kidnaping in Connecticut, has been unaccounted for since the Lindbergh kidnaping. An unsubstantiated re- 1 port associates Abie Wagner with ' Harry Fleischer. Every effort is being made to locate Harry Flcisch- j or so he may be questioned con- j cerning his whereabouts and ac- I tivities prior to and at the time of the kidnaping. Clews Are Futile "No information has been received from the Erie, (Pa.,) authorities concerning their activities or findings. Police authorities throughout the state of Pennsylvania have been affording excellent co-operation and if anything of importance had been discovered at Erie, it would undoubtedly have been forwarded to these headquarters without delay. "Vacant estates and suspicious estates in various parts of New’ .Jersey that were reported to us were investigated Wednesday without results. "A number of informants purporting to have important information were interviewed without results. Several babies reported as being the Lindbergh baby were examined without results, although some of the likenesses were remarkable."

CITY MAY FIND ITSELF WITHOUT GOVERNMENT Portland, Ore., in Drive to Recall Mayor, Commissioners. A’;/ United rrrttx PORTLAND. Ore., March 24.—1n the midst of a drive for recall of Mayor George L. Baker and two city commissioners, Portland was faced today with complete paralysis of municipal government, if the recall is successful. No machinery exists for replacement of the three city officers—unless they name their own successors before the city auditor certifies the election vote. Petitions asking recall of Mayer Baker and Commissioners John M. Mann and R. Earl Riley were being circulated by the “citizens’ committee of fifty," together with one directed against Lotus L. Langley, Multonmah county district attorney.

CLUB USED IN PAY CUT DRIVE Workers Forced to Sign Petition, Says Connery. By Scripps-Uowttrd Newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, March 24. Working men and women throughout the country, under threat of loss of their jobs, are being coerced into signing petitions to congress for a slash in government salaries, Representative William P. Connery, <Dem.. Mass.), chairman of the house committee on labor, charged today. Connery sees in the petitionsflooding congress evidence of the “conspiracy of big bankers, couponclippers, and dividend parasites to beat down the American wage scale and standard of living." “Just compare these petitions—you can find them in the office of any congressman,” said Connery. “You will find that they are remarkably similar. They set out that congress should slash federal salaries, eliminate so-called superfluous positions, and eliminate so-called superfluous bureaus. “If this propaganda is successful, another wave of wage slashing will be the inevitable result. Greedy employers are using this depression not as a reason but as an excuse for reducing wages.”

BY BEN STERN Peace and harmony is the big watchword now in the Marion s county Republican organization and | the fellow with the moulting wings j playing the part of the dove is i "Cap” Coffin. Watching him operate is the only! spot of real color in the whole | county political picture. It's “Cap's’’ inimitable touch that j transforms many a scene of tragic j portent into comedy—of course,! the Republicans take it on the chin j at the polls—but a good laugh is j worth being dropped from the public pay roll, huh? First step in the campaign of love and kisses, as this year's Republican primary is to be known, w'as removal of Oscar Smith as Fourth ward chairman and appointment of Ed Hart. Oscar was a faithful warhorse in the years that have passed, but the reformers wanted anew leader, so “Cap" told Clyde Robinson, county chairman, that he should make a change. In accordance with the request (or order?) Hart, one of the leaders in the Junior Republican outfit, which has fought Coffin in the past, was named to succeed Smith. a St tt One of the active leaders of the ! Juniors has been Rae Powell, local attorney, and former chairman of the state Junior organization. To make things look sweet, “Cap” had the right boys pass the word ’ that Ray would look nice in the prosecutor's office. Watch for Powell’s announcement for the Republican nomination tor the job.

'■•! I. nilrd Press WASHINGTON. March 24. Charles G. Dawes, president of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation, has gained great fame from his underslung pipes. But the spectacles of Eugene Meyer, his conferee in the finance corporation and governor of the federal reserve board, have been overlqpked. Meyer has twenty pairs of spectacles. He keeps eight at hi3 office. An even dozen remain at home. He usually has three pairs with him —one on his no.se and a couple in his pockets. His spectacles are of all kinds. When the publicsees him he usually wears pincenez with a black ribbon. But when he secludes himself In his office for a long pull at his desk he dons heavy, -tortoise shell rimmed spectacles which are easier on the nose. Then he has another heavy pair for golf, big ones for motoring, and rimless and fine, white-gold rimmed ones for formal wear. Recently, he had the prescription for his lenses changed. He had a dozen sets of lenses made up in the first order. They cost SB4. He has given them a tryout and likes them. So now he is having eight more sets made. n n a DAWES’ pipe collection outnumbers Meyer's spectacles considerably. It numbered sev-enty-four pipes at last count. Most of them are the famous Dawes underslung variety. But not all. There are nine fine English pipes given him by various friends he made while he was in London as ambassador to the court of St. James. Dawes is particularly fond of them. He likes to show them and can tell you that “so-and-so gave me this one” and “this is the one I smoked” at such-and-such a function. He points with especial pride to one he used while on an archeological expedition in France. It's all marked and scratched from hard usage. Another favorite Dawes calls his “collegiate pipe." It is a smallbowled, prettily-shaped affair, given him by a friend in Chicago. And there are many others—big pipes, little pipes, and pipes with amazingly long stems.

has to be salved, so you can depend upon it there will be some promises | made there. an n Coffin has been scared into the harmony move by a meeting which j the juniors called a couple of weeks i ago to plan ways of wresting the organization from his control. With defection of many of the old precinct committeemen who were in politics because of jobs and to whom “no jobs mean no politics,'' there was a possibility that this might be achieved. Like the wily manipulator he is, Coffin decided that those who are agin’ and can’t tbe beaten, should be taken into the fold. Compilation of a. city directoiy for New York is expected to give about 100.000 working days to the unemployed.
