In Minnesota It was found that the crime of kidnaping was without such legal designation.

The state has no kidnaping laws. Legislative leaders of Minnesota expect measures designed to change the situation to be Introduced In a current session. Last week the Wyoming state( senate passed a bill providing capital punishment for kidnapers. The house also has Indorsed the meas ure. Present maximum punishment Is 18 years Imprisonment.

In Missouri the penalty may vary from five years imprisonment to hanging. Nebraska Inflicts death upon conviction of kidnaping for the purpose of extortion and Injuring or threatening to injure the "Rnatehed" person under such circumstances. Reward In New Jersey Actuated by the Lindbergh affair, the 1932 New Jersey legislature authorized payment of a reward not exceeding $25, 000 for Information leading to the apprehension of persons stealing any child under 1fi years of acre. The Ohio legislature, sMrred by the Llndhereh case, and the companion "snatching" of Jlmmle de Jute, at Niles, Is nslderlng adoption of a nronnsrd I.ttc nrovM'nr- I stricter nunlshment Th approved by the state bar association, calls for the electric chair, unless mercy Is recommended. If a kidnaped person dies as a result of the act, from neglect, or Is frightened to death.

Tresent punishment Is Imprisonment from one year to life. A North Carolina house committee Is conlderlnr a measure to Increase punishment of kidnapers now subteot to sentence not exceeding 20 years.

Two measures to Increase maximum punishment to 20 years and SO years respectively, Instead of seven, as at nresent, are being considered In Ceorria.

I AT EARLIER DATE Major Accomplishment Given Up for Lame Duck Period; Democrats Anxious to Get to Work WASHINGTON, Feb.

UP) Only twenty-three legislative days remain for the "lame duck" session of the seventy-second congress and it Is sunk s0 deep Into politi cal entanglements that Its leaders have all but abandoned hope of any major accomplishment. The democrats hava seen the wrecking of their budget balanc Ing, prohibition repeal and farm relief program. Now they are looking anxiously ahead toward the special session, for which so much unfinished businesa la being piled up. The house pilots hava thrown up their hands so far as seeking action on any controversial proposal at this session Is concerned, because of the Jam In the senate They sent beer, farm relief, gasO' line tax, bankruptcy reform and other pressing legislation to the other end of the capltol, only to see It blocked by appropriation bills. Speaker Garner has told newspaper men that further legis lation by the house would be futile.

Indications are that In the event all the appropriation bills are not passed, which appears probable now. President-elect Roosevelt may have to assemble the new congress before April 17, the date generally agreed upon by congressional lead- i. Privately, both democrats and republicans admit virtually nothing can be done before March 4. Should the senate finally pass the big treasury-post office supply bill, which carries re-enactment of the economy legislation, there Is a possibility other appropriation measures might get through more easily. JAPAN PREPARING TO SEIZE JEH0L WITH CONCENTRATED ARMIES Continued from Fw On to the ten principles tor solving the controversy contained in the Lyt-ton report.

This Is necessary, Matsuoka said. In order t0 "bring 'n the realities of the situation." The committee has proceeded to discussions of drafting recommendations for settling the trouble between China and Japan over the Japanese-sponsored a ukuo government in Manchuria on the basis of the Lytton report. Referring to the results of the possible application of sanctions, the Japanese elegate expressed the opinion these coul" not he enforced and. If they were enforced, they would entail results more cruel than war. It was understood the committee of nineteen already had discussed Article 16 of the league covenant, which provides for the use of sanctions against an aggressor nation.

(One report was that some members of the commit ee thought the article might be used to pledge league members not t0 assist Man-chukuo In the event of a definite I eak between Japan and China.) Against small countries. Matsuoka asserted, the use of sanctions might be effective, but against a big state they would start a war.

Llndnergn, slowly but surely Is Increasing penalties against the evil thus so drastically revealed. In more than a. score of state legislatures bills Intended to Increase the punishment and aid In the conviction of kidnapers either have been passed, have been Introduced, or are being discussed. The electric chair and the noose have an Important part In legislative discussions. During the months since the night of March 1, 1932, when the Infant son of the noted American flier was stolen from his nursery bed In rural New Jersey, stern measures have taken.

Final discovery of the baby's body In a woods near his home added to determtn tlon to discour age In every way a repetition of the tragedy. Made Capital Offense A survey shows that a number of states. Including Missouri. Mississippi, Texas, Nebraska, Virgin-la and Illinois, have declared certain kidnaplngs a capital offense. Life Imprisonment, as a penalty for convicted kidnapers, Is not uncommon.

Numerous states have amended old laws to make prosecution easier. Amendments In some oases make posslhle the trial of abductors In any county throueh or Into which the victim Is taken. Legislation to strengthen existing laws has been passed recently, being considered, or Is In pros pect In Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New Jersev. Wyoming. Texas.

HE SLEW WIFE, SISIER-IMi Webster Clark, Detroit, With 22 Citations for Bravery, Says Relatives Caused Trouble DETROIT, Feb. 6 () Patrol man Webster nunc was quoted by officers Sunday niht as con fessing the slaying of his wife and sister-in-law and blaming It on a domestic quarrel caused by "too many In-laws." The 35-year-old patrolman, whose 10-year record with the Detroit police department Includes 22 citations for bravery, was arrested Saturday midnight after his wife Hertha, 34, and his sister-in-law, Mrs.

All the children were In the home at the time of the shooting. AL! Wife of Pennsylvania Governor Can See No Difference Between Men and Women in Politics HARRIS BURG, Feb. OP) The first lady of Pennsylvania doesn't like to be called the "first lady." Mrs. Cifford PInchot, dynamic wife of a dynamic governor, empirically assorts that "the governor's wife Is Just like any other woman." "That term, first lady I detest it," she declared. Phort sentences, quickly spoken, they paint a characteristic portrait of Cornelia Bryce PInchot.

Political Strategist A political strategist in her own right, member of a family long politically-active and ItlncuiHhed, she doesn't have to hitch her wagon to Gifford Pln-chot's political star. She does her own work and she fights her own battles. Her views are independent and progressive, ns are her husband's. Woman's place, she believes, is In politics ns well as In the home, and she has been politically ac- jtive almost from the time she firs' learned to walk.

To ak bow women have functioned in poll'lcs Is, in Mrs. PInchot opinlnn. "as ridiculous as Asking how fat men or baldheaded 'men have functioned In politics." "There can be no distinction between men and women in politics," she says. "It would be only an artificial distinction. "Some men are progressive in politics.

Some are reactionary. iPome are independent. Some are Jioseil. "It's the same vlth women. "I'm in pnlitics as a human jhelr.tr.

Her grandfather, I'M ward Cooper, was a mayor of New York. Theodore Roosevelt, for whom she worked In the 1012 Bull Moose campaign, even before he met Gifford litniiot, himself a strong Roosevelt i.in, once said she knew more about politics than any other woman he ever encountered.

Teterson, 36, Hollywood civil engineer, found along Dark Canyon roal early Sunday by ntotorlsts.

Officers said he apparently had been killed elsewhere and his body dumped out by the roadside from an automobile. They believed he had been killed by a blow, but a hole on the right eldo of the head, morgue attaches said, may have been caused by a bullet fired at close range. After questioning the widow, officers started search for Hollywood man, associated in some way not disclosed, with the victim. Three woman and three men were taken Into custody late Sun day and booked as material wit- nesses. TAILOR EXCITED WHEN PRESS IS STOLEN BY UNGRATEFUL CUSTOMER CHICAGO.

Feb. i OP) Peter Kautzl was very excited. ne stood In front of his shop and as a squad of police drove up shouted "He stole a press!" "Who stole a what?" asked one of the officers, and they too became excited, as a press Is large, heavy and expensive and making off wish ono amounts to major thievery. "A press!" repeated Kautzl, a tailor. "The man asked me to press his coat.

Then, when my back was turned, he put it on and walked out." "He'll be taking a bath next," the officer observed, as the sriuad set out In unsuccessful pursuit of the fugitive.

No matter what dry cleaning method employed, there is only one that actually gives you full protection and that is the Vacuum-Still method, where cleaning sol vent is converted into steam before it it used to clean your garments.

If the state of New Jersey would exempt low priced homes from taxation, there would be an overflow of money from New York state that would amaze Trenton and solve New Jersey's money problem.

The same is true of California and Texas, which Is far ad.anced In such legislation, and of many other states. The difficulty is that the small home owner Is a tempting morsel for the tax-laying politician. Ho Is not organized, and is quite defenceless. When a grafting contractor needs money, the political friends with whom lie "splits" allow him to run new sewers or sidewalks or street i avenients in front of a few hundred homes, and 'let the fools that, live Inside pay." Nothing, from the "depths of the sea to the tops of the trees" Is as defenceless as the average American home owner. An oyster taken from its shell and landed in the middle of Death Valley with the temperature at one hundred and ten, would not be a more pitiable object.

Marshal Chang Hsueh-Llang, commander of China's armies, in the north, warns Japan "we are ready," has 200,000 man mobilized. But until he knows Just what airplanes can do to marchln? troops, he cannot accurately say "we are ready." When the Spanish eonquista-dores came on horses, the poor Indians of South America had no chance, they thought horse and man were one animal. Troops marching on the ground with ex- plosives and poison gas coming down through the air have less chance than the soldiers of the Aiteca had. Race suicide, you will be pleased 1 to learn, is not universal in the United States. For Instance, two visitors In Miami at this moment, are Daniel Calhoun Roper, formerly collector of Internal revenue, and Robert H.
