Then circumstantial evidence rapidly was gathered to prove Ilauptmann was one of the guilty men, and he was partially Identified by Doctor Condon, aa well as by a taxi cab driver who said the prisoner was the man who gave him $1 eleven days after the kidnaping to carry a note to Jafsle. Officials of the Department of Justice announced thnt Haupt-mann'- s handwriting tallied with that of ransom Dotes sent by the kidnapers. Police Commissioner John F. O'Ryan. who made the official announcement of the developments Jointly for New York and New Jersey authorities as well as for the federal Department of Justice, declared that Hanptmann admitted under severe questioning that he had been employed as a carpenter near the Lindbergh home at Hopewell. O'Rynn also asserted that police bad established that Ilauptmann had had access to the lumber yard In which lumber was found bearing a peculiar mark, similar to that found on the ladder left at the scene of the kidnaping. Ilauptmann, he added. Is In this country Illegally. He Is married and has a e son. Colonel and Mrs. Lindbergh, who were in Los Angeles, wore snld to have known In advance that the ar- rest was expected. They secluded themselves and would say nothing for publication. w. calvtn Federal judge of Baltimore handed down an opinion holding that the farm moratorium amendment to the federal bankruptcy act passed by congress last June Is unconstitutional. This amendment, known as the Frazier-Lemk- e law, authorizes farmers to go Into federal courts and reduce their obligations. The Judge held that It violates the rights of creditors as outlined In the fourteenth amendment to the Constitution and that It seeks to supersede the rights of state courts. The court pointed out that each state has laws to protect both the creditor and the debtor. The act. It was stated, wiped away the safeguards for creditors end amounted to confiscation. debt-ridde- n In the textile industry almost In sight after the President's special mediation board reported to him Its plan for ending the bloody strike that has been going on for weeks. The ... report was carried to Mr. Roosevelt at PEACE Hyde Park by Sec- retary of Labor Perkins and Gov. John G. Winant, chairman of the board. It propr stid the following four point program: Gov. Winant 1. Appointment by the President of a textile labor relations board of three members to settle all questions of union recognition at the several textile mills and to handle all other employer-emploje- e disputes In the Industry. 2. An Investigation by the Department of Labor and the federal trade commission of the textile Industry's ability to meet the higher wage payments which the anion is demanding. 3. A moratorium on the "stretchout" system, whereby, the union claims, employers are adding to the work load of their employees; during the moratorium the textile labor relations board shall appoint a textile work assignment control board to plan a permanent control of the stretchout 4. An Investigation by the Department of Labor Into the various classifications of work In the textile Industry and the wage scale for each classification. President Roosevelt was highly pleased with the 10,000-worreport of the board and expressed his hope that It would show the way to end the strike. F. J. Gorman, leader of the strike, submitted to the union's executive council the question of having the workers return to the wills pending final arrangements. Immediately preceding these de d velopments the mills hud been reopening under military protection, and in consequence the strikers bad resumed their acta of violent'. There were numerous bloody encounters between them and National Guardsmen In New England, New York, Pennsylvania, Georgia and the Carolina. In Connecticut the disorders abated and the state troops were being demobilize;'!. Currying out his plans for extending the strike to all branches of the textile Industry, Gorman sent out orders for 20,000 dyers to quit their Jobs. The union workers were still enraged at Gen. Hugh 8. Johnson, NUA administrator, for his attack on the strike at a meeting of code authorities In New York. He charged that the walkout was In "absolute violation" of an agreement made by the United Textile Workers with the government lust June. This the union leaders flatly denied and they demanded the resignation of Johnson. Gorman said: "We will not Join In submitting any Issue to the NRA as long as General Johnson Is administrator or occupies a position of determining Influence In the recovery administration. We said he ought to resign and we meant It, Since that Is our view, we could not Join In any submission to the NRA while lie has the power to make NRA once gold city NOME, the lies famous In ruing, having 11 JAMES MOFFETT, 1931 of COLUMBUS M at In A.

In 1409 t Florentine named Amerigo Vespucci accompanied OJeda, a Span-larto Espanola (Haiti) and the mainland in a search for pearls. He wrote a letter In which he called the country he had seen "Mundus Novus" New Land). Eight years later at St Die In the Vosges mountains Mathlas Rlngman, a Latlnlst, and Martin Waldseemuller, a geographer, two members of the faculty of a little collegiate Institute which was the center of the geographical learning of the time, were preparing a new edition of Ptolemy's "Geographla." However, before Its publication they printed on the new printing press which the Institute owned a little essay called "Cosmographlae Introducto" to which they added the letter that Amerigo Vespucci had written. In this essay Waldseemuller offered the suggestion that since Amerigo Vespucci had seen and described this "Mundus Novus," It might properly bear his name and be called America. Later followed Waldseemuller's suggestion. And that Is why we have North and South America instead of "North and South Columbia." done.

He has been dead 428 years but his name still frequently makes the headlines In our newspapers. Recent years have seen many "discoveries" about the discoverer, which adds to our knowledge of him. It was only a few years ago that Dr. A. S. W. Rosenbach, the noted collector, acquired abroad and brought to this country a manuscript volume some 400 years old and written by one Andres Bernaldez, which revealed Christopher Columbus In the hitherto-unknowrole of a bookseller. The reference In the volume was only a casual one but Interesting nevertheless. It said : "There was a man In the land of Milan who was a merchant tn books and who traveled In Andalusia who was called Christopher Columbus, a man of high genius, who was not a man of letters, but was very shrewd in the art of the cosmography of the world, who followed what, he had read from Ptolemy and other works regarding the world In which we navigate and walk." And this man, who "had read from Ptolemy," was to see, In the declining years of his life, a revised edition of Ptolemy's "Geographla" that of Rlngman and Waldseemuller' with another man's name given to the two continents which he had discovered! - by Miss Stebbins.

My dear sir : I have the pleasure through you to present to the Central park commissioners the colossal statue of "Columbus," the work of our gifted countrywoman, Emma Stebbins. Columbus Is represented as standing upon the deck of a ship alone and at midnight, just before the land of the Western continent burst upon his view. His mutinous crew have all deserted him and are feasting below, while he the Intrepid discoverer, with a firm grasp upon the rudder-poslooks eagerly, anxiously forward, piercing the darkness with his eye of faith, and with earnest prayers to heaven for success, waits for the' dawning of day that day which, coming at last brings with It victory and repose. This statue Is truly grand In Its conception and beautiful In Its execution worthy. In deed, to occupy a prominent place In our Central park. It will add one more attraction to that charming spot, which the commissioners and yourself have done so much to adorn for the pleasure and delight of the t, people. The statue and pedestal are both at the Academy of Design, subject to your order as soon as a suitable glass house hos been provided to protect the marble from the weather. With the hope that the commissioners will be able to provide this during the present season and receive the proffered gift, I remain. Your obedient servant ' MARSHALL O.
