ADMITS UNDY BABY HUNT WAS FAKE

CURTIS, NORFOLK MAN, CONFESSES GUILT OF HOAX By l <lrrt prr. TRENTON, May 17.—. John Hughes Curtis, Norfolk boat builder, today confessed to police that his activities in the Lindbergh kidnaping negotiations were figments of his imagination, Colonel H. Norman Schwartzkopf of the state police announced. A police bulletin this afternoon said: “A 4 a. m. this mornintr John H. Curtis set down to a typewriter and himself wrote a complete confession concernin ghis activities in this case. “He stated that the boat and all the people to whom he had been referring were creations of his own mind and do pot exist in fact.” Thus theer came to light the second of the cruel hoaxes practiced on Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh in connection with kidnaping of his baby, Charles A. Jr.

Curtis had told of a ship' with kidnapers aboard and went into detail as to negotiations designed to effect return of the child. Psunfiwr with the imagination of a draamtist. Curtis had told of wrcks of negotiations" with the •kidnapers." Lindbergh at first, skeptical had succumbed to the imaginerv that Curtis painted; had gone aboard a boat which was to contact the phantom ship and was to get back his child. Then the story collapsed. The baby was found dead. Praroek Also Involved Curtis was taken by authorities to check up on the fantastic story he had told. He "partially" identified Rogues' gallery pictures of his • contacts.” But early today confessed hr had told what was not true. •Shortly after the kidnaping. Mr. Curtis told a story about having a conference with the kidnapers.” the police statement said. "A news- , paper representative, according to Mr. Curtis' statement, made a very lucrative ofler for his story to be given exclusively t othat paper. "Also, according to Mr. Curtis' statement, a very lucrative offer was made by another newspaper and film company for pictures concerning his activity. "This stirred Mr. Curtis on to greater activities. Mr. Curtis also said that Dean Peacock could have prevented his unfortunate part in this enormous deception. • Admiral Burrage merely prevented to Colonel Lindbergh the story he had heard it. making no recommendations. but permitting it to stend opon its merits" In to his complex bid for notoriety and money. Curtis originally drew two reputable citizens of Norfolk. the very Rev. Dean H. DobsonPeacock. rector of Christ church, and Rear Admiral Guy H. Burrage, United states Navy, retired, whom hr impressed with the sincerity of his negotiations. j Both Dr. Dobson-Peacock and Admiral Burrage were convinced Curtis was on the trail of the kidnapers. and throughout the "negotiations" were confident the baby would be returned. Finding of the body last Thursday shocked the two innocent parties to the hoax, but they still believed the negotiators" were actually the Lindbergh abductors. "Reputable citizens." the statement continued, and officials frequently vouched to Colonel Lindbergh for the integrity of Mr. Curtis. stating that his word could be relied upon. This made the deception so much easier. He has been a Norfolk shipbuilder prominent in the community. Recently his business was reported not so profitable.) No Farts Foundation "The story of Mr Curtis has resulted in the very widespread activity of the coast guard and other

"Four days ago when Mr. Curtis came to poiice headquarters the police authorities at this point started questioning him and checking his story.

May 17.—At least 100 persons are missing from the French liner Georges Phillipsr of the Messageries Maritimes line, according to a wireless message to the Evening i Standard from Captain Owen of the j British ship Contractor, which rescued seventy-five of the liner's passengers. Captain Owen credited Captain Vico of the Georges Phillipar with the estimate of at least 100 lost and , 600 rescued by ships now nearing port. Many first-class passengers were reported trapped in ther cabins by fire. “Approaching the Georges Phillipar we found a few hundred peo- ( pie grouped on the forecastle head," Captain Owen reported. “We lowered two boats and took off seventy-five passengers. “The fire is believed to have originated from a short circuit in an empty cabin de luxe.” “The wireless room and the captain's quarters were said to have been destroyed -first. The fire traveled rapidly through all staterooms fanned by a fresh breeze. “My officers after the second journey to remove passengers re- i ported that the French captain was the last to leave, and that nobody j vas left aboard,” Captain Owen reported. “Our boats saved some of the crew and passengers hanging over the bow on ropes. Many jumped in the sea. “By 8 a. m. the steamer was burning furiously fore and aft from the water's edge. Many passengers i were slightly burned. Wives were separated from husbands, and children from parents. “All the passengers rescued were in night attire. They lost everything else. We are due at Aden at I 4 p. m. today.”

SMITH FIGHTS BONUS DEMAND Favors Sales Tax in His Financial Proposals for Emergency. Bv f nitfif Prrta NEW YORK, May 17.—Alfred E. Smith has called upon congress to quit playing politics, and as if to set an example, presented his own financial program for the national emergency which demands defeat of soldier bonus legislation, and calls for support of President Hoover in effecting economies through consolidation of government bureaus and activities. The Democratic presidential candidate in 1928 called for a manufacturers sales tax. a wine and beer tax to finance unemployment relief construction, and he urged congress to suppress all "blocs." cabals, insurgencies and mugwump tactics by whatever name they may be called which bedevil legislation, increase the depression, unsettle business and endanger our credit at home and abroad.” The program was enunciated in 5n address Monday night. It reiterated certain other measures, such as repeal of the eighteenth amendment, and extension oi President Hoover’s moratorium, through granting Hoover power to make such an extension “until a real solution can be reached.’’ The Democratic leader criticised President Hoover's unemployment relief pian calling for use of funds of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation. He urged that the President te given “a free hand to provide aid for productive public works of states and municipalities.” Former Governor Smith's most radical departure from the politician's program came in his statement of policy on Veterans' legislation.

Spreading Japanese Terror May Tear Asunder Continent of Asia

BY WILLIAM THILIP SIMMS Scrloos-Howard Foreirn Editor WASHINGTON. May 17. The Japanese terror hardly is over. Before it spends itself, not only Nippon’s form of government may be radically altered—possibly by revolution —but the map of Asia may be redrawn. Japan’s crisis runs far too deep to be settled by the assassination of Premier Inukai. For twelve years —not Just tv o—the country has been in the grip or a depression which has played havoc with the middle and lower classes. Only 4 a handful at the top are immune. Unless, therefore, the existing regime can bring quick relief —and there seems little chance of that—it may be wiped out. The dynasty, however, does not appear to be seriously involved. The emperor is sacred to 95 per cenr of the Japanese, a part of their religion. Far more than in the United States. England and other capitalistic countries, Japan's wealth is concentrated in very few hands.

Federal Judges. However, Grant Injunction on Marion Reduction. Sustaining the theory that statutes permit the public sendee commission to reduce utility rates during periods of emergency, three .ederal judges today ruled, however, that the 20 per cent reduction ordered against the Indiana General Service Company in Marion was "too drastic,” ana granted the utility an interlocutory Injunction. Commissioner Howell Ellis, who wrote the rate reduction order, announced an immediate appeal will be taken to the - United States supreme court. Judge Robert C. Baltzell. acting on behalf of Circuit Judge Will Sparks and District Judge Thomas Slick, issued the finding today. Try to Expedite Case He declared the judges had attempted to expedite matters in this case. He suggested that if an appeal is taken, it should be done immediately. He called attention to the fact that Chief Justice Hughes recently declared that in all similar appeals ; the high court would not rule on the merits, but upon possible abuse of discretion by the three judges hearing the injunction petitions. The court order provides the utility must post a SIOO,OOO bond. In ! event the high court upholds the rate reduction, the proper refunds will be made from the bond. The order also reaffirmed a recent decision of the court denying the right of a utility to have rates based upon all units of a loop. Reduction Is Large It sets out that the Indiana Service Company serves seven counties and twenty-one communities, but that the city of Marion is the only unit concerned in this matter. On Feb. 1. 1932, in an order writ- ' fPh Ellis and dissented to by Chairman John W. McCardle, the commission granted approximately 20 per cent rate reduction to patrons in Marion. This reduction, it is estimated, would total $125,000 annually and reduce the corporation's income from $626,000 to $501,000. This order was written after only one hearing, the court says, and was based on a section of the ShlvelySpencer utility act, which gives the commission authority during an emergency “temporarily to alter, amend or. with the consent cf the public utility concerned, suspend, any existing rates or schedules." The judges point out that under this provision the commission increased rates during the World war and. therefore, may reduce them.

Solve Children Fare Problem If You’re 44 Inches Tall. You're 6 Years Old in Detroit Cars. By I nitr4 Prr* DETROIT.

Governor Gifford Pinchot announced today he would not attend the sessions of the Republican national convention in Chicago next month.

Nearly 50 per cent of the bank deposits and reserve funds of the country, totaling almost $6,000,000.000. are in the hands of only six concerns. Among Young Japanese the feeling exist that the Big Six are running Japan for their own benefit. They also charge that the government is permitting the empire to be suffocated within four narrow walls—the emigration wall blocking exit from the islands: the tariff wall shutting out Japanese goods; the peace wall banning the acquisition of new territory and. lastly. the China wall excluding expansion in Asia. Inside these walis are nearly 70,000.000 people—ten times the population of California, on one half the arable soil—with an annual increase in population of more than 300.000. Young Japan sees no future for their country or themselves. The Japanese masses today are demanding a change. Whether this will turn to Facism or Communism only time will tell.

“I did work for Mr. Devlin,” he blurted out. a moment before he was released from the stand. Edwin Devlin was a federal dry agent. “You mean.” interjected George R. Jeffrey, district attorney, hurriedly. "that you merely co-operated with Devlin and that, you never got paid for anything, don't you?” "Yes." said Burke. Safety Board Head Called "That's all." said Dale's attorney. The defense scored again later. When William F. France, president of the safety board of Muncie, took the stand for the government. France's direct testimony was intended to paint Dale as a "political despot." and he declared that the • safety board was a board in name only." "Dale gave me to understand that he was the mayor,” he testified. On cross-examination. France admitted he went to Dale bearing complaints about policeman Ray Powell. Weren't the complaints from bootleggers and women operating houses of ill fame?" asked defense attorneys. Admits Defense Contention "Mostly," admitted France. He also said that Dale had told him that he had refused to do anything about punishing Powell. He admitted that the bootlegger* had complained that Powell "bothered them." Herschel H. Rose, carpenter and ex-government undercover man. admitted testifying falsely before a federal grand jury, resulting In indictment of Elmer Gentry, bootlegger near Muncie. The witness testified he was promised a city Job if he falsely told the grand jury of making a "buy” from Gentry. Rose was preceded on the stand bv Peter McMichael.

MarFatrirk. former Muncie firemen, told the Jury of seeing police visit the "Pig Stand." a barbecue, and declared no arrests were made, despite the fact that, he said, drinking was progressing openly. Prosecuting witnesses who testified Monday, first, day of the trial, failed to link Dale definitely with alleged payoffs and liquor deals of which they testified. Several witnesses testified they were promised by Police Chief Frank Massey, one of the defendants, that if they would support Dale in the 1929 election, they would be given "protection." but, they added, the immunity they had enjoyed before 1930 ended within a few weeks after Dale took office. How a profitable period as a "big shot" bootlegger ended a few weeks after Dale became mayor, and how he was forced to quit bootlegging and move to Hartford City, was related by Corbett Johnson, a defendant. who pleaded guilty. He is one of the government's "star" witnesses, and Dale contends, a "government plant" in the case. Tells of Campaign Donation Johnson told of being visited weekly in 1929 by Massey, then an insurance agent, and of paying Massey S2O a week for protection. He said he was not raided once in 1929. "Massey told me to *go for Dale’ in the campaign, and if Dale were elected he (Massey* would be named police chief and I would be one of the few bootleggers allowed to operate. I gave Massey $560 for Dale's campaign, as I was selling liquor as fast as I could get it."
