"Jafsie" Condon paid the $50, COO ransom the home of Haupt-jnan's moffcer In Kamenz, Germany, was thoroughly searched. Arthur Johnson, New York city detective, accompanied by German police ransacked the home of Frau Hauptmann in her absence. What discoveries were made, if any, were not immediately known. there was a lookout at the cemetery has long been known. But it was probably Colonel Lindbergh himself, after viewing Hauptmann yesterday, who gave the latest description of him as stoop-shouldered.

The noted aviator sat in an automobile a block away from the cemetery that dark night. He saw the look-out drop a handkerchVf, evidently the signal that the way was clear. The Intrvlew conducted through Fawcett was the prisoner's first extended discussion of the charves against him.

The field was soggy and rain-drenched for the start, and the Majors ran into tough breaks right off the reel and continued to. get the worst of the deal from Dame Fortune aU through a score- less- first half. Captain Fred Ward gave the Purple Its first bir thrill in the third period when he and Chaun-cey Godwin blocked a Bulldog punt and the Purple leader snatched up the bounding leather and raced 25 yards for a touchdown. Late In the final quarter, Southwestern "rolled the dice with forward passes in a desperate bid for a touchdown and Alvin Houston Intercepted a toss and stepped 15 yards through a clear field for the second touchdown. Just three minutes before the game ended, Gabe Felder climaxed the scoring with a 19-yard Jaunt through the Bulldog secondary for a third touchdown.

The final score came after a fumble as the Bulldogs were still throwing the ball. recklessly in futile attempts to score. The Southwestern score, a two-point safety, came in the third period when Adkins punted to the Millsaps two yard line where the ball rolled out of bounds. Back in "coffin corner," swarming linemen block the attempted punt by Bowen and the latter was downed with the ball In his possession. The Majors were clearly superior from the start, but fumbles on the kickoff and on the first punt received by the Purple, kept the locals in hot water the whole first half.

Poor handling of the ball by Major safety men made the visitors gain with almost every punt exchange during the game, but under the sloppy conditions, fumbling was not the high crime it usually is considered. Millsaps ran up 11 first -downs to four for the visitors, with two of the latter being on penalties. But the Bulldogs fumbled only four times compared to 11 mis-cues for the purple, Southwestern covering seven loose balls, or three more than they while Millsaps missed by three covering their own bobbles. The Majors won, in the final analysis, on superior line play, both offensively and defensively. The charging Millsaps forwards opened holes through which Hous ton.

Felder and Bowen galloped for neat gains, and the Militant forwards braced on defense so that scant yardage Indeed was made over them. Southwestern's sole offense was the pass, and the visitors threw 19 times, completing 7. Millsaps chunked four times and got two completions, and both squads had two interceptions.

These knights will hold a kind of tournament during this Indian summer. They will color the affair with a little of the romance and dash of the middle ages. There are a few re-quirements which must be met. Each knight must ride a bob-taUed mule, not under 15 years of age; must carry his lance, simply a handstick, unbarked and unpolished; must ride his President Roosevelt Appoints Board as New Strike War Threatens (Continued from Page One) the Amalgamated Clothing Work era and the United Ladies' Garment Workers had agreed to call strikes at any plant falling to observe the order. The president Indicated he had acted because of the reorganiza tion of NRA.

He pointed out that the newly appointed National In dustrial Recovery board, which is taking the place of Administrator Hugh S. Johnson, now had pending before it various protests from the manufacturers. The new board was directed by him to appoint a committee of "three impartial persons who have not heretofore formed an opinion" on the issue. This group he di rected to hear the "protests, lh vestigate the facts and report Its recommendations on ori before Oct. 10, 1934."

Handcuffed, but with a smile on his face, Marvin Day, alias Marvin 0Day, rode back to his Indiana home to night to the scene of the brutal at tack and slaying to which officers say he has confessed.

Day, who says he is 16, but who is described by officers as possibly 20 or older, was placed In an automobile shortly before noon today for the long drive back to South Bend where 8-year-old Marverlne Appel was brutally attacked and slain four years ago last August. Capt. Frank Glisson of the Memphis police homicide bureau was understood by newspapermen to have said shortly after Day left that Indiana officers cast doubt on Day's confession, but later Captain Glisson said that he had been misunderstood. However, other officers at the police station including Sam Phillips, secretary to Inspector Will T. Griffin, said they heard Sergeant M.

A. Whitmer and Detective Ed. E. Mccormick. South Bend officers, say the confession may have been "a product of Days Some of the officers hold to the belief that Day is no older than he says.

They point out that, if his statement is true, he was Just 12 years old when the crime was committed. Phillips said he heard the Indiana officers say that some of the physical facts of the crime belied the youth's confession. The South Bend officers also were heard to say that the youth showed little knowledge of the crime. The Indiana officers, In leaving the police station for the trip home, told reporters, "well have to take Day along, since he's confessed." visited her shop yesterday, exhibited nervousness when the Gallaher case was discussed and gave an address which proved fictitious.

Evans Burrow, second in command, and one of the heaviest in the brigade.

will give a little preliminary work-out to familiarize the others with the general "lay of the land." Senator Luper will demonstrate lancing and fancy riding. His muggin is one of the oldest and safest In the county. He will show the knights the new polo game and will give an exhibition in fancy bareback riding. Each knight will be expected to put on something special to demonstrate speed and skill, and as a grand finale the whole consolidated club will engage In a free-for-all bare-back mule race, after which they will adjourn for the hut where Phil Lebeis will pilot them through air the mazes of the old square dance.

28 At a meeting of the leading planters in the Crystal Springs trucking belt, the Crystal Springs Truck Growers, was organized with more than thirteen stockholders. It will operate during the season of 1935. Under the plan as outlined by J. Pace, extension marketing specialist, Jackson, the Crystal Springs association will compose one of seven local units which will be federated into a strong central marketing organization designed to render the locals a two-fold serivce through the cooperative purchase of supplies car lots for cash at the lowest price and through volume sales of their products, at the highes possible prices. Following a full discussion of all phases of the comprehensive marketing set-up at the meeting here which included talks by T.

IL Pat' terson and Mr. Pace, an organization committee of thirteen picked producers was selected to apply to Secretary of State Walker Wood for a charter and to sign the articles of incorporation. As soon as the charter is received the incor porators will meet, select a board of directors, and elect officers from their number. Local associations are scheduled to be organized at Utica, Hopewell, Georgetown, Rockport, Wesson as well as Hazlehurst and Crystal Springs. It is possible Carpenter will join in the federation.

The incorporators are: A. S. Thomas, -R. B. Thomas, R.

B. Thomas, T. M. Smith, Hugh Magee, F. C.

Coker, R. Burney, W. Mills, R. H. Russum, W.

S. Graves, Frank Ford, D. A. Carmich-ael, R. W.

Russum. A major advantage of the organi zation as explained by Pace will be that the central federation will be financed by the Bank of Co-opera tives, New Orleans, which will furnish funds for the purchase of ferti lizer, containers, seeds, spray material and Other supplies for the local unit which in turn will seU them to the producers at the lowest possible price for cash. CERTIFICATE- EXCESS SEEN (Continued from Page One) and all other minor cotton States 4,539. WASHINGTON. Sept.

The AAA cotton section estimated today there Would be an excess of 1,208,251 tax exemption certificates under the Bankhead Act remaining this year after all cotton is marketed. Cully A. Cobb, section chief, said cotton states whose production this year will exceed their allotments will need tax exemption certificates for only 431,223 bales, while states whose production will be less than their allotment will have for sale 1,639,474 certificates. Consequently, Cobb added, it will impossible for each certificate turned into the national certificate pool to net Its owner anywhere near much as $20 per bale. "There are nearly four times as many excess certificates available will be needed to cover all of the cotton produced by states which are going to be above their said.

"The government will riot purchase any of these certificates, but all of the money taken in by the pool from the sale of surplus certificates wUl be distributed among producers who surrender certificates the pool after deducting expenses, and each producer will receive his share in the proportion the poundage surrendered by him bears to the total poundage of the national pool." Cotton farmers submitting excessive certificates will therefor receive their payment in proportion to the number submitted and the number sold and will receive back any unsold certificates, Cobb explained. The basis of September 1 cotton crop estimates the states with estimated cotton production below their Bankhead allotments and the Indicating excess of certificates were: Florida Mississippi, Louisiana Texas Oklahoma Arkansas Missouri, 34,205. States with estimated production above their allotments and the indicated deficit in certificates were: Virginia, 6.177; North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, 58.346: Tennessee, Alabama New Mexico 13,305: Arizona 13.462; California. all, other states, 4.539.
