MANY READY TO SIGN 1935 CORN-HOG PLAN
SERIES OK EDUCATIONAL MEETINGS HELD IN COUNTY DURING PAST WEEK
NEW PLAN SATISFACTORY
Provides For 10 Per Cent Reduction on Corn and lings But Places No Limit on Other Crops

Robert Mai* Tightly shackled in Robert Mais, notorious delphia gunman, it shown on his arrival in Richmond, Va., where he faces death in the electric chair, Feb. 2, for murder.
Indications are that all Putnam county farmers who participated in the 1924 corn-hog program will sign .i.9.'i5 contracts as well as many additional farmers, according to E. W. Baker, county agent, who has been attending u series of 1925 com-hog educational meetings in the county
during the past week.
Sign-up meetings probably will follow next week, it was said, if present ! plans of the county com-hog committee are carried out. The commit- | te this year is the same that had charge of the 1924 program. Members are Ora Day. Vernon Gardner, Walter Beam anil Boss Alice. According to Baker the 1925 contract gives the farmer many advantages over the 1924 contract, providing for no contracted acres and only for a 10 per cent reduction in coni nnd hog production and placing no limit on wheat or other crops grown. Under the new program the township ami county committees have more power to make adjustments than heretofore such as providing coni and hog bases. The new plan has been simplified and pennits any funner to join the movement. The last of the educational mcctj ings will be held at Floyd Center

WAN IN HOPEWELL ON DAY
OF KIDNAPING
I FLEMINGTON. N. .1 Jan. 25. UP 1 Bruno F.iVlisr'd Hauptmann tried desperately to lay to make a j jury believe that Isidor Fisch, the j tubercular little fur cutter wit!’ I whom he hail engav -d in many vague j enterprises, was the original possessor ol the Lindbergh ransom
| money.
He denied, with self-assurance and conviction in his st range, high-pitch-ed voice, that he was ever in Hopewell, that he hail kidnaped the Lindbergh child, or that he had ever, knowingly, accepted any of Go!. Lindbergh's $50,000 ransom money. Gaining confidence, he told the jury his version ol the events of March i. 1932 the day of the L inaping of his search for work, of his call a* a Bronx 1 a.kery for his wife, of their rctunr home together, and of tire next morning when he “read in the paper alrout the kidnap-
ing."
His denial that hr- war, the murderer of Col. Lindbergh's son was brought out in a ser ies of rapid-fire questions. “Were yon ever in Hopewell?"
"No.”
"Did you kidnap Col Lindbergh's ehrlrl ?"
"No."
Mr:i. Beulah Cox, wife of It. N. (Nick) Cox. 11 Park street, was the victim of an acid thrower about 7 o’clock Thursday evening but she escaped with first degree burns about the neck and left arm. Only a meagre description ol th« boron who thr w at least a pint of a carbolic solution on Mrs. Cox was obtained. He fie I on foot following the attack and could not he four. 1 by city police who investigated. Mrs. Cox had stepped out the back door of her home to a coal pile in the back yard when a man came out of the Cox garage where he had been hiding and tossed the acid at Mrs. Cox. As she raised quickly from a stooping position amj j>ai Liully turned Uie acid struck the left side of her neck and ran down over ner left arm and aide. Mrs. Cox ran into til*' house where her sister-in-law, Miss Christine Cox, summoned a physician and police. Mrs. Cox was said to have been most seriously burned where the acid was held to her body by her saturated clothing. According to Mrs. Cox the man wore a long-billed black leather cap with ear flaps and a long black oat which was unbuttoned and hung loosely. Immediately after throwing the acid he turned and fled. Mr. Cox stated Friday morning tiiat he knew of no enemies that would resort to this means of attack. He said, however, that strange persons have, loitered around his home for several years hut that lie has never been able to get a close view of them. It was believed the acid hail been lilutc I or otherwise the Inn ns would have ben more severe It apparently was tossed from an open container but a search by police failed to locate a receptablc of any kind in the vicin-
ity.
Mr. Cox was not at home at tho time of the attack but arrived shortly afterwards.
