LLONEL LINDBERGH'S stolen
baby was murdered, probably
goon after the kidnaping. The body of
the Infant, badly decomposed and
with fractures of the skull, was
found, partly covered with leaves and
debris, near a road in the Sourland
hills less than five miles from the
Lindbergh estate. Physicians sald the
little boy had been dead for at least
two months. He was stolen from his
pursery on the night of March 1.
The finding of the body was accl-
dental. It was discovered by Willlam
Allen, a negro truck driver, and three
companions who stopped by chance at
that particular place and, stepping in-
to the discovered the little
skeleton, Identification was soon es-
tablished by the fragments of cloth-
ing, the nurse, Betty Gow, assisting
in this. The skull was fractured on
both sides, one break possibly being
a bullet hole,
With the finding of the baby's body
the authorities were freed from all
restraint in their efforts capture
the kidnapers and murderers. Col. H.
Norman Schwartzkopf, head of the
New Jersey state police, said they
had a group of persons under Ssus-
picion and that immediate steps would
be taken to accomplish their arrest.

NDOUBTEDLY senators and rep-

from the home folks as well as from
President Hoover on the matter of
legislation designed to
reduce government
expenditures and to

it were named three members of each
major party. Senator Wesley Jones

SENATOR ROBINSON, Democratic
leader of the senate, put forward
his scheme for providing £2.300,000,000
for the relief of unemployment, and
President Hoover indorsed it In prin.
ciple. The President then outlined his
own proposals in this line, under which
the Reconstruction Finance corporation
would loan not to exceed $£1,500,000,000
for the various purposes contemplated,
Of this amount, from 8250,000,000 to
£300,000,000 would be loaned to states
for the relief of unemployment distress
and the remainder would be loaned to
public and private agencies to aid In
the financing of “income producing”
construction projects.

ARTER GLASS, the strenuous sen-
ator from Virginia, fighting to put
through his banking reform bill, cre-
ated something of a sensation by as
serting that certain Chicago bankers,
whem he did not name, had “hired
some congressmen” to oppose the Me
Fadden branch banking bill several
years ago. and also had employed a
skillful lobbyist at a high salary. He
declined to name the congressmen,
too. Hepresentative Morton D. Hull
of Illinois, who was active In oppos-
ing the McFadden bill In the behalf
of the Chicago banks, would not dis
cuss the Glass charges but indignant-
ly denled having been hired. The lob-

There is little doubt that the new
premier will be Edouard Herriot, lead-
er of the Radical Boclalist party,
which was the biggest winner in the
elections, The Socialists also made
considerable gains, If they do not
work In co-operstion with Herriot, he
may have to make a deal with the
moderate right wing headed by Tar
dieu. It might be well again to call
attention to the fact that Radical So-
cialists of France are really neither
very radical nor actually Socialists,
but are liberals with a program for
the ald of agriculture, industry and
commerce, It is not likely that there
will be any decided change In France's

Stimulation of Nodule For-
mation Advised by
Ohio Expert.
Legumes lacking nodules rob the
solls of valuable nitrogen in much the
game way as do corn or oats, according
to H, W. Batchelor, assistant professor
of soils at the Ohio State university,
who finds that nodule formation may
be stimulated by inoculating the seed
of such legumes as clover, alfalfa, soy
beans, etc.
Inoculation of such seed, he says,
tends to enrich the soll and may be ac-
complished at very little expense by
using properly chosen fleld soll. Boll
from fields producing soy beans hay-
ing of nodules on their roots
should be used in Inoculating soy
beans. Alfalfa may be Inoculated
with soll from flelds producing good
yields of either alfalfa or sweet clov-
er, however, neither of these crops can
be inoculated by soll from a field pro-
ducing red clover.
After the desirable soil has been
obtained, Batchelor suggests that the
#0il be sieved free from sticks and
coarse sand or gravel, placed in the
fertilized box of the grain drill, and
sown at the rate of 100 to 150 pounds
per acre in the row with the seed.
This method has given very good re
sults with soy beans.
