CHAIR TESTED AS BRUNO AND WIFE CONFER Slayer Is Calm as Lawyers Prepare Final Plea for Highest Court. POSITIVE HE WON’T DIE Mrs. Hauptmann Ready to Plead With Hoffman for Reprieve. By United Prrss TRENTON, N. J., Jan. 15—The electric chair in which Bruno Richard Hauptmann is sentenced to die Friday night was tested today. The aparatus was tested while Mrs. Anna Hauptman*', wife of the Lindbergh baby kidnaper, was visiting in the death house with her condemned husband. His cell is only 30 feet from the execution chamber, Hauptmann, with but 56 hours to live unless Gov. Harold Hoffman grants a reprieve, has not been told that his plea for a writ of habeas c orpus was denied by United States Circuit Court Judge J. Warren Davis. “I didn't tell him about the court action," Mrs. Hauptmann said after she had visited her husband for 30 minutes. "He doesn't know it yet." "He was calm and confident he will not die Friday. He told me that he was certain the state would never take an innocent man's life." Doesn't Want to See Son Mrs. Hauptmann asked if Bruno wanted to see their son, Mannfried. "He told me he didn't want to she the baby in that place because he didn’t belong there. He said he would be outside to see him, for he is an innocent man.” Mrs. Hauptmann tried to smile as she talked. "He asked me to take a picture of Mannfried in his sailor suit and send it to him. You know Richard gave our baby the navy blue sailor suit for Christmas. It was under the tree on Christmas morning and it was a surprise. He had ordered it through Mr. Fisher, the attorney." Just before Mrs. Hauptmann was taken to the death house for her visit, Neil Burkinshaw and Nugent Dodds, the two Washington attorneys called in by the defense, visited Hauptmann for a few Minutes. It was understood they had Hauptmann sign anew legal document for submission to the United States Supreme Court. Will Appeal to Hoffman Mrs. Hauptmann said she thought she would make a personal plea to Gov. Hoffman for a reprieve. Col. Mark O. Kimberling, principal keeper of the New Jersey State Prison, said that Mrs. Hauptmann would be allowed only one more visit. That will be tomorrow. No relatives or friends can visit a condemned man the day he is to die. Col. Kimberling said that the electric chair was tested and that every part had worked properly. "Hauptmann is in good spirits, normal and is eating regularly,” Mr. Kimberling said. There was nothing significant in the fact he had not visited Hauptmann since last Saturday when the state Court of Pardons rejected his plea for clemency, he added. It was understood, however, that the principal keeper was staying away from the death house in the hope Hauptmann would send for (Turn to Page Thr<y) PACKERS OPEN DRIVE TO REGAIN AAA TAXES

Hot House Building Disappears, but Shows Up Again at New Place.

THIS is a hot story concerning a "hot” hoase which made W. L. Reilly of the real estate firm of Fieber & Reilly hot under the collar, put the police on a hot trail and caused a hot time in the old town. Mr. Reilly reported to police today that when one of his rent collectors called at the property at 146 Detroit-st, owned by J. C. Yuncker, who is sojourning in California, and for which the firm is the agent, the collector found the house missing. All the resources of the police department were taxed in solving the mystery but finally the law called into play the house-detector and found the “mansion” being occupied by Pearl McClure on his property at 1710 E. Washing-ton-st. Mr. McClure said he bought the domicile from one Robert L. Ford, address unknown, for $42.50. He told police that on New Year’s Day four men, including Mr. Ford, skidded to a .stop in front of his residence witn a slightly used house. They asked SSO for the perambulating structure but it being New Year's he thought they were only celebrating. Finally he k offered them $42.50 —they took him up. When interviewed Mr. Reilly said that he had heard of this fellow Ford before, and that he had a perfect yen for stealing houses. a u a NOTE—Sheriff Ray's bright and shiny squad car, stolen from the county garage some time between Monday night and Tuesday forenoon, is still missing, its distinguishing marks include a red light on the front and a shortwave radio.

17 KILLED AS PLANE FALLS INTO SWAMP Luxury Ship Demolished in Arkansas Plunge; 14* Passengers Victims. 'ACCIDENT/ SAYS JURY Cause of Tragedy Mystery; Federal Probe Gets Under Way.

GOODWIN. Ark., Jan. 15.—Seventeen mangled bodies —the toll of the worst plane disaster n the history of American commercial aviation—were taken from the twisted wreckage of a crack airliner today and laid out along a swamp road. Immediate investigations began to fix responsibility. The American Airline’s twin-motored Douglas luxury ship crashed last night in a dense swamp three miles northeast of this farming hamlet, carrying all on board—l 4 passengers and a crew of three—to a frightful death. Soon after Lake Littlejohn, Department of Commerce investigator, arrived from Little Rock, a formal coroner's inquest was held on the scene. The jury decided the crash was "purely accidental.” All 17 bodies, some unrecognizable, were loaded on ambulances to be taken to Memphis. Four Bodies Identified Bodies of the following have been identified: W. R. Dyess, WPA administrator for Arkansas, of Little Rock. Pilot Gerald Vaughn (Jerry) Marshall, 40, Fort Worth, Tex.

STATE TO GARRY SECURITY LOAD Proposed Bill Asks 40 Per Cent From Counties, 60 From Indiana. Decision to lift part of the social security burden from the counties by assuming an additional 10 per cent of the joint state-county cost, has been reached by state officials. Under the existing state old-age pension plan the statue has matched tne amounts paid by the various boards of county commissioners. It had been assumed that the state and counties would continue under the Federal social security program to split the outlay, which in turn would oe matched by the Federal government to establish a maximum S3O-a-month pension. A social security bill, being prepared for the probable special session of the Legislature, calls for the state to assume 60 per cent of the cost and the counties 40 per cent. If this plan 1 is put through the estimated $9,150,000 cost for old-age and children’s aid would cost the state $5,490,000 and the counties $3,660,000.

Though his condition still was desperate, a hospital official was able to announce at 7 a. m.: “We have hopes that Mr. Kipling may recover, since he is making a great fight.” It was disclosed that peritonitis set in. Kipling suffered a perforated gastric ulcer. His condition was so grave when he was taken to hospital Monday that Dr. Webb-John-son was unable to attempt the customary operation and had to adopt emergency measures.

HOUSE REFUSES TO REJECT COURT CURB Committee Turns Down Motion to Table Bills. by UnSed Press WASHINGTON, Jan. 15.—The House Judiciary Committe, in secret session, has rejected a motion to table bills calling for curbs on the Supreme Court. The rejection came with growth in House and Senate for action on several suggested plans to remove much of the power of the Supreme Court and lower Federal courts to declare acts of Congress unconstitutional. It followed a long, bitter discussion on a motion by Rep. Warren J. Duffey (D„ O.) to table the bills, and leaves the committee in a position to proceed with consideration of the bills, if it decides to do so later.

Marion County schools have been losing SIO,OOO yearly under the previous distribution officials say. Based on the July, 1935. distribution to 2140 teacher units, county schools will receive $26,750 additional under the $212.50 scale, it was pointed out.

FINAL’ HOME PRICE THREE CENTS

congressional support. Friends of the President said they knew of no change in his oftexpressed opposition to immediate payment. Bonus leaders in House and Senate, however, were confident of ability to pass the bill over the President’s veto. Their confidence was borne out by a United Press survey showing that at least 64 Senators were certain to vote to over-ride with a two-thirds majority almost inevitable. Senate May Vote Tomorrow That the House would overthrow a veto seemed a foregone conclusion. The united front bonus bill—for which the compromise measure has since been substituted in the Senate—was passed by the overwhelming majority of 396 to 59 in the House. A year ago, the House overrode a bonus veto, and it was only by eight votes that the Senate failed to follow suit. The compromise bill, introduced by Chairman Pat Harrison of the Senate Finance Committee may come up for a Senate vote tomorrow. It provides for Issuance of baby bonds, which could be cashed immediately by veterans or heid as an investment at 3 per cent interest. King Drafts Substitute Unanimous consent must be granted for consideration tomorrow. Otherwise, the bill will lay over for one day. The only apparent obstacle To prompt enactment appeared in the announcement by Senator William H. King (D.. Utah) that he would attempt to substitute for the compromise bili a measure calling for immediate payment of only the present cash surrender value of adjusted service certificates. Such a measure would be unacceptable to veterans organizations and bonus advocates, who demand immediate payment of the 1945 value, an average of about SIOOO a veteran, less the amount borrowed on the certificates. A United Press poll of the Senate showed at least 64 votes for overriding a veto, with several more doubtful ones expected to be in that column. They are lined up as follows: For over-riding (64.)
