The reasons for this method feminine business of shopping as she eat the hardier pursuit of: flying| an airplane. ‘after alight breakfast at .the American embassy, where she is stay-| ing, she sped off to the west-end | shopping center before nine o'clock. She completed her purchases in time to attend a luncheon given by the institute of journalists — and speed had no effect on her efficiency. On all sides she received congratula- tions on the excellent taste displayed in her emergency apparel—emergency because when she landed in Ireland Friday all she had with her were the flying clothes on her back. ‘Ambassador Andrew W. Mellon was present at the luncheon, as was Sir John Simon, British foreign secre- tary. The large assemblage cheered heartily as Sir John bowed and con- gratulated the smiling flier on her feat. Using a glass of water, Mrs. Put- nam drank a toast to the president of the United States and another to the king. Mellon, seated at her side, performed that ceremony with the} aid of whiskey and soda. Arrives in Rain Mrs. Putnam landed at Hanworth airdome Sunday night during a ter- rific thunderstorm after a flight from Londonderry, northern Ireland, in a borrowed plane. The crowd which greeted her as she splashed toa landing at Hanworth was small but enthusiastic. Other thousands had gone to the Croydon airport, believing she would land} ent to make. It is understood there. Among the group at Han- worth was Ambassador Mellon, who; welcomed her officially as she arrived | at the club house. “I don’t mind the rain,” she said. “I got used to it Friday night.” The slim young woman, who is the only person in the world to have flown the Atlantic twice and the first woman to fly it alone, made friends instantly with the crowd by her quie’ smile and gay manner. Reports to Husband “Here's your money,” a friend tolc her a few minutes after she landed (She carried only $20 in her pockei when she set out on her flight and her husband had cabled funds from New York). “Keep it until we get out of the crowd,” she whispered. “Have you talked with your hus- band?” a newspaperman asked. It was one of a volley of questions that greeted her. “Oh, yes!” she replied, “the first thing I do always is check in like a good girl.” The newspapers. were filled with the story of her flight, a struggle with storms and. falling apparatus from, Harbor Grace, N. F., to the pasture near Londonderry where she landed Most of them printed editorials of hearty tribute to her courage and skill. She interrupted her trip to the em bassy from the flying field Sunday night to broadcast her experiences by radio to the United States. After an hour at the British Broadcasting company she refused to do anything | victor else until she talked to her husband George Palmer Putnam, by telephone and had a bite to eat.

Dobson Pea- cock of Norfolk, Va., in a copyright in- terview publishede Monday by the Southam newspapers of Canada. Dean Peacock says he met “three tough-looking customers” at a New York hotel in response to mysterious telephone calls, and they demanded ransom, but he broke off the negotia- tions after he became convinced the men were “racketeers.” The interview, given to C. O. Smith, Washington correspondent of the Southam papers, says John Hughes Curtis’ conduct throughout the whole negotiations was so convincing “I would do the same thing again if a similar occasion arose tomorrow.” Curtis has confessed the whole thing was a hoax and that none of the mysterious persons and places describ- ed by the Norfolk negotiators existed except in imagination. Dean Peacock, who formerly preached in Canada, said Curtis brought him into the case by relating how a man who “had been befriended by him in a bootlegging case” wanted an intermediary to get in touch with Colonel Lindbergh. Would Not Act Alone “Curtis declared he would not act alone and asked me to cooperate with him,” said Peacock. Admiral Burrage having also been brought into the negotiations, the trio finaily, on March 21, saw Lindbergh at Hopewell. {| “Colonel Lindbergh remarked that the had no faith in the clue,” said Pea- cock. “He doubted the story for the ‘reason that our alleged gang had not exactly mentioned the amount of the ransom. Notwithstanding his doubt, Burrage to continue.” Curtis continued to claim contacts and announced the kidnapers had proposed a plan for depositing $25,- 000° in Norfolk, to be released after the baby was returned. Lindbergh re- | fused to do this, but asked the nego- |tiations be pursued. “Curtis was up north when I got a long-distance call from New York on April 21,” said Peacock. “The speaker asserted he had vital information about the Lindbergh baby. I was in- structed to fly to New York at once, register at the Park Central in the instructions what to do. Followed Directions “I flew to New York, registered as directed, and a man soon came to my room. He said I was to follow him to fused to leave. The man went away and within a few minutes the origin- al voice called me: He warned me to follow instructions. “I decided first to attempt to reach Curtis, and managed to do so. He ad- vised me to return and learn more about what they would say. I did this. They took me to a room in the Cum- berland hotel, where three tough- |looking customers joined us. They joutlined a plan for the return of the child, quite similar to the one Curtis’ alleged go-between had suggested. “It included payment of $50,000 ran- jof $500 for a special purpose. I was warned that every step I took would be watched and was threatened if I made a false move. “By that time I suspected them as racketeers. I went back to Curtis and spent the remainder of the night at his hotel.” He heard no more of these men. He was told to stand by, which he did, until the finding of the baby’s body. ‘Stone Raps Proposal By Traders in Wheat Washington, May 23.—(#)—Chair- man Stone of the farm board not only does not intend to acquiesce to the proposal of the Chicago board of trade's president to dispose of stabil- ization wheat privately but he thinks the plan is based upon selfish mo- tives. Replying to Peter B. Carey, who asserted six members of the board of trade could dispose of all the farm board’s wheat for cash “at a steadily advancing price,” the farm board's chairman said, “their purpose is not to help in the present situation, but to prevent the farmer organizing his business so that he, in @ measure, can control the method under which his products are sold.” DIES FROM WOUNDS Shanghai, May 23. oshinori Shirakawa, supreme com- P wav ‘i jority to Admiral |he gave written authority |to come here for questioning “so as to the party that had telephoned.

Condon, the Jafsie who paid a $50,000 ransom in futile hope of ob- taining the return of the baby, spea away on another mysterious journey. Dr. Condon left his home in the Bronx, New York, early Monday morning, driven by a one-armed neighbor. He declined to say where he was going and traveled at such tives assigned as his permanent es- cort. The Hunterdon county grand jury was sitting Monday, but Prosecuto: Anthony Hauck indicated the Curtis case would probably not be reached until another day.

Norman Schwarzkopf, superin- tendent of state police, who had been in general charge of the police in- vestigation of the kidnaping and murder of the baby, said he had not yet been subpoenaed to appear be- fore the grand jury. He said Curtis was now out of the jurisdiction of the state police and the next move in this angle of the case must come from the prosecutor. Schwarzkopf said the Rev. H.

C. Pender, it was announced Monday. Meanwhile the Rev. H. Dobson- Peacock remained a staunch defen- der of the story originally told by his associate. From his pulpit Sunday, Dean Dob- son-Peacock reiterated his faith in this story and criticized gossipers, who he said, “commit the unforgivable sin in taking away from a man his goo¢ name.” He praised the action of Jo- seph T.

Sponsored by Democratic and Re- publican wet blocs, the bill to levy a three-cents a pint tax on 2.75 per cent beer, was brought up on peti- tion of 145 members. It was the first record vote in the house on beer since 1919 and came after 20 minutes’ debate. The senate recently rejected pro- posals for legalizing beer. The roll call Monday came after Speaker Garner had overridden a parliamentary objection by Rep- resentative Blanton (Dem., Texas)‘ who contended it was out of order since the house already had voted on submission of the prohibition issue. Political repercussions may be wide from the voting, but party lines long ago were knocked away. Sponsored \by a bi-partisan anti-prohibition bloc, the ballot was forced in a petition signed by 77 Democrats, 67 Repub- licans and one Farmer-Laborite. “No report has been received as yet! The bill was forced to a vote in the face of bitter unbraidings from col- leagues, to place each member on rec- ord as to the liquor question before he fo before his constituency in the fall.

FORMER LEGISLATOR SUCCUMBS IN CITY Richard Bubel, Farmer Living Near Center, Dies Mon- day Morning Milwaukee, Wis.. May 23.—(4)—The Socialist national convention Monday ‘was headed toward a possible decision on the prohibition question. Sunday the convention, overwhelm- ing the opposition of the party's radi- cal left wing, nominated Norman Thomas of New York as its candidate for president. It chose James H Maurer, grayhaired leader of labor in Pennsylvania, to make tne campaign for the vice presidency. Then it en- tertained 8,000 Milwaukeeans at a irousing mass meeting where Thomas described the administration of Presi- ;dent Hoover as a record of “mistake ipiled on mistake.” Monday the party settled down to Preparation of its platform, and among the most disputed of the issues was prohibition. | Much of the party contends prohi- {bition is no issue worthy of the atten- tion of a Socialist convention. While the majority of the platform commit- tee made no mention, in -its recom- mendations to the convention, of the liquor question, there are two minor- ity reports urging that the party ex- press itself. Government ownership of distiller- ies and breweries was advocated in a report made by three platform com- mitteemen, Heywood Broun of New York, Maye: Daniel W. Hoan of Mil- waukee, and Oscar Ameringer of Ok- lahoma. They advocate local option for the states. Another minority report suggests a referendum on prohibition. This re- port “recognizes the right of the gov- ernment to restrict use of any article noxious to public health” but main- tains prohibition has been a fertile source of lawlessness and suggests the people be given an opportunity to ex- press their will. The platform committee asked a federal appropriation of five billion dollars to support state and local re- Nef activities as an emergency meas- ure, and an additional five-billion- dollar appropriation was suggested for a public works program to include road building, reforestation and slum elimination.
