to drive away the dullness and
headache of a bilious spell, and rid
the system of that slow poison that

A view of the $50,000 Lindbergh home, frara which the baby disappeared Tuesday night.

Hopewell. N. J., March 4. A
premising clew to the kidnapers of
Charles A. Lindbergh, jr., developed
early today from the disclosure that
a third ransom letter, in handwrit
ing Fimilar to the first, had been re
ceived by the anxious father. ,
Its contents were' kept as much
a guarded secret as those of the one
found pinned to the sill of the win
dow through whk-h the abductor?
flsd with the 20-month-old child
Tuesday night.
One ether note came throuhg the
mail yesterday making three in all.
While investigators displayed ' con
cern aboujt the other two, they quick
ly disclosed the text of the second
after handwriting experts had found
there wa3 no compariscr: between the
writing in it and the first one.
This note', apparently the work of
a crahk:'" threatened' ?61tme'l LtntT-
bergh' himself if he made -public its
Lindbergh was represented as
ready and anxious to pay a ransom
of 50 thousand dollars.
A national radio appeal, which
broadcasting officials said was au
thcrized by an intimate friend of
Colonel Lindbergh, said:
"Colonel and Mrs. Lindbergh not
only wish but hope that whoever is
in possession of the child will make
every effort to communicate with
them."
This appeal came a few hours after
the receipt of a second ransom note
which demanded that its contents be
kept secret or "it will be your last
tale."
However, its text was made pub
lie while authorities continued to
withheld the contents of the note
left pinned to the nursery window
through which the blue-eyed 20-
month-old child was taken Tuesday
night.
However, John A. Toohy, secre
tary to Governor A. Harry Moore,
in an interview with newspaper men
tonight, declared it demanded the 50
thousand dollars ransom be paid in
$1, $2, $5, $10 and $20 bills, but
failed to specify in what manner the
payment was to be made or to fix a
time limit on the payment.
After a period of feverish activity
by experts it was learned the hand
writing in the second note did not
compare with that of the first, and
belief was expressed the note receiv
ed today was the work cf a "crank."
The mass of new -clews and leads
which held the attention of invest!
gators tonight included:
A communication from an ex
convict in Hudson county which
Inspector Harry Walsh described
as a "hot tip." Four of the
crack detectives stationed at the
Lindbergh home were dispatch
ed to an unnamed city during
tho afternoon to Investigate.
They had not returned late to
night and officials here refused
to discsus that angle of the case.
A report that Frank W. Kelly,
a lumber dealer, had recognized

behind by the kidnapers 'as part
of a house he had recently torn
down. Later, however, Kelly
was unable to identify the lum

Presidential candidates are trying
to take all the controversial issues
out of politics. We are pleased to
note this tendency to get down to

BAN STOCKYARD COW TESTING
Lincoln, March 4. Dr. A. II.
Francis, federal inspector in charge
of Nebraska animal diseases eradi
cation, Friday eaid the plan of north
west Nebrbka farmers for tuberculin
testing cf cattle at stockyards in
stead of on the farm is impracti
cable.
"Not more than 75 per cent
of meat slaughter is done un
der federal inspecticn, and it
would be possible for many dis
eased cattle to be sold to con
sumers if the plan of stockyard
testing of feeder cattle were
adopted," Dr. Francis said.
The farmers' proposal was made at
a meeting of the Nebraska Stock
Growers association at Alliance a
week ago. Dr. Francis attended the
meeting and explained the new fed
eral restrictions cn shipping of un
tested cattle which go into effect
July 1.
Dr. Francis said the chief oppos
ition of farmers in range counties to
tuberculin testing is due to their be
lief they have no disease in feeder
cattle.
"Although range cattle usu
ally have much less disease than
cattle in dairy districts, we have
reascn to believe there are some
' pt-etty badly: infected herds' in?"?!
' Nebraska's range counties," eaid
Francis.
Dr. Francis told cf recent tests in
Daw3on county, a semi-range area,
where 2.19 per cent of cattle tested
reacted to tuberculin tests.
He predicted it will be consider
ably cheaper for Nebraska's feeding
operators to permit testing than to
undergo the transit testing required
under the new federal law, which re
stricts shipments of cattle fom non-
accredited to modified accredited
counties.

Washington. Misuse of public
funds was charged against Secretary
Hyde in the senate by Rcbinson of -Arkansas.
In a thundering voice, he
.is.-cried the secretary of agriculture
had distributed thru the mail.' under
a government "frank" a "partisan
statement denouncing the democratic
house" lor parage cf the 132 mil
lion dollar road construction bill.
The- democratic leader said the ;
Hyde statement had been sent out .
"presumably" as part cf the depart-'
ment's "market news service" and
he demanded to know "just what re
lation it has" to farm news. "It's
immoral and well nigh indecent," -said
Ucbineon, "to use public funds
fcr partisan political purposes, and
it cannot be jnstificd when done by "
anyone; no matter whether he be a-
demccrat'ot a republican." jJ'-..' ' i

challenged republicans to reviaw the .
three years of Hoover. Senator Fe3S .

red . with the Miesissippiau. He re
calied the economy speech Thursday
by Harrison, and a subsequent vote
of the latter to add funds to the

I'.crrison said the theme song of
the Hoover administration was
"We'ro Fcrever Blowing Bubbles."
He raid the 1928 campaign had been
known as a "whispering campaign,"
but before November it would be a
"weeping campaign."
Senator Fers suggested that It
might be known among democrats as
