Tyrrell Tells About Similar Markings on Various Charts DULL TESTIMONY REDUCES INTEREST Detective Reaches U. S. With Witnesses to Deny Story About Fisch Copyright," 1935 By The Associated Press FLEMINGTON, Jan. 15 A third state identifying Bruno Richard Haupt-lnann's handwriting as that of the 14 Lindbergh ransom notes today, declared Haupt-mann failed in an'cffort to disguise his hand in tsither.thc notes or in specimens which had been dictated to him t-y police. The witness was John F.

Tyrrell of Milwaukee. Adding his opinion to that already given by two other experts, Albert Osborn, and Elbridge W. Stein, he said he found that sections of Hauptmann's dictated writings were pictorially dissimilar to other sections, nd added here is pictorially a greater difference, between specimens of these indicated writings than there is between I he ransom writings and some of the dictated writings." The defense today again brought the dead Isador Fisch inferentially Into the trial with questions pointed toward the possible thesis that Hauptmann's handwriting was forged to the 14 Lindbergh Tansom rotes. Hints tiote Were Copied Frederick A. Pope of Hauptmann's defense staff asked Tyrrell if "there is nothing that you could discover as a handwriting expert that would tell you that the author (if the ransom note probably copied it from another writing?" Tyrrell "No, there itoo many of those little intimacies in this writing that are reflected in the ransom notes that the forger wouldn't think of." am not speaking of forgery, sir." "Imitator." Tope asked: educated man desiring to disguise or camouflage his handwriting would use words that would hardly he attributed to an educated man sometimes, would he?" Tyrrell replied that In such cases "they overloolf something else that Is far more signicajt." Edward J.

Reilly, chief of the defense staff, replying to a penciled query on the purpose of the questions pertaining to an "educated man," said: "In Europe a person attending a iiniversity is classed as an educated man. A laborer or carpenter like Hauptmann ii 'nothing but a mere peasant or laborer." Nothing has, come out in the trial to indicate that Fisch was either educated or uneducated, but one of the prosecutors declared as an aside today thai "we are. prepared to tell Fisch's life from 'A' to 'Z' and, show that he had no connection with the kidnaping." Earlier in his testimony he told Ilia court, where Kauptmaln is oil trial for his life as the accused kidnaper and mtfrderer of Baby Charle3 A.

They began into the city shortly after 9 o'clock this morning and when the time arrived the inaugural ceremonies, it was estimated 50,000 persons from the 21 counties had invaded the capitol.

I insist that he who seeks the right of leadership must be willing to hazard the endoise ment of the people.

Continued on Fas Two I Provide Funds for Relief Work in State EXPECTS SALES TAX TO YIELD 20 MILLION Many Important Recommendations Made in Message at Inaugural Special to The Home News TRENTON. Jan. 15 New Jersey will have a 2 per cent sales tax and an income tax if the recommendations con tained in the message delivered at noon today by Governor Harold G. Hoffman following his induction into office are accepted by the 15'Jlh session of the Legislature.

The new revenues will finance emergency relief and relieve the tax burden on real estate. The 38-year-old Republican governor, of South Amboy, ad dressing the Uepublican-con-Jxplfed Legislature crowd attending inaugural ceremonies, estimated a sales tax would yield $20,000,000 and an income tax, at rates and exemptions averaging one half those of the Federal act, would yield $15,000,000. Reiterating a campaign pledge to reduce the real estate tax by one-third." Hoffman proposed that the new revenues be used to remove from real estate the 2.75 mill state school tax, amounting to $13,000,000: remove the soldiers' bonus tax of $900,000, and absorb the "5 per cent of old age relief now assessed to counties. See Ta Kate Reduction It has been estimated the reduc tion in the tax rate in Middlesex County would be on the averags of about 30 points or about $3.00 per $1,000 valuation. "We must face the year 1335 with said Governor Hoffman.

"Notwithstanding such progress as has been made toward recovery and rcgardles.3 of what the prospects may be for an early return to normal business and economic conditions, we have accumulated in our state, and especially in our local governments, a scries of financial problems that cannot longer be brushed aside. "The authorized amount of the bonded debt of the state i3 of which $196,951,000 is now outstanding. Large as this amount is, it cannot be regarded a3 excessive, since there are sinking fund resources and certain revenues which will provide for its orderly liquidation. The State's credit is sound, as shown by the sale of the bonds last week at an interest cott of 2.32 per cent. The state has met its every obligation on the due date, and it promises to close the current fiscal year with a free balance in the treasury.

It cannot, however, continue indefinitely to isaue new bonds to provide for emergency relief and to add large amounts to it3 present bonded debt.

Upon taking the oath of office as a member of the City Commission, administered shortly after 10 o'clock this morning by City Clerk John F. Eoyce, former County Solicitor Frederick F. Richardson made i public declaration that "politics shall play no part whatever" in the aa-ministration of the department oi streets and public improvements. He placed himself squarely on record "in favor of the widest kind of consultation with the leading citizens" in the preparation of the 1935 fiscal budget "in order that the hud get, when adopted, shall have Uncomplete and full confidence of the general public." He urged prompt publication the city minutes and increased protection of children at school cross ings, j-ie came out strongly tor a radical improvement in the mattci of bus service and the elimination of the herding of passengers.

Saar Basin Territory, Jan.

15. The i Saarland shouted, cheered and laughed itself hoarse today in huge jubilation over a so per cent vote tor a reunion with the Fatherland. Five minutes after the announcement of the plebiscite results people began appearing in windows, balconies, front dobrs and on roofs, unfurling the black', white and red flag of Nazi GerVnany or steel hel; met flags. Officials of the League of Na tions, which has governed this wealthy little mining territory since the World War, announced the vote as follows: For return to Germany 477,119 For the status quo 46,513 For annexation to France 2,124 Of the 528,005 votes cast in the polling Sunday, only 2,249 were disqualified. Officially the Saar's future status will not be determined until the League of Nations acts formally on the vote.

(Geneva dispatches said that its award to Germany is assured and probably would be made this week). Strings of Swastika pennants flew from houses throughout the territory and nearly every bush and tree had its flag. One could ride through miles and miles of Saar-bruccken streets and see nothing but flags and people hanging out more flags. Church bells began ringing for special thanksgiving services at 9:30 a. a little more than an hour after the tabulation of the vote was announced.

'A scheduled mass meeting of de fiance by those favoring the status quo, failed to develop and officials expressed gratification at the order lincss of the plebiscite and the tab ulation. Among those who voted were hundreds of Americans, most of them brought her at Nasi expense. Commissioner John L. Snitzler moved that the commissioners go into an election of a commissioner and his motion was seconded by Commissioner James T. Shine.

The motion was unanimously carried. Commissioners Snitzler and George F. Baier were namsd by the Mayor to escort Richardson to the chambers and upon his entrance he was greeted by applause. He was personally congratulated by the commissioners and city administration attaches. After taking the oath, Richardson enunciated his program.

He expressed his appreciation to tjus vast crowd for their presence and also for many floral offerings. Anthony F. Daly of 171 Ward street and David Mayerowitz of Dennis street offered 'words of con gratulations, the latter asserting that the Jewish Club of the Third, Ward had endorsed ttie candidacy of Richardson at a meeting last Sunday afternoon. i Taxpayers' Suggestions I Richardson in responding to Mr. Daly declared the commissioners were willing and ready to accept the suggestions and recommendations made, by the New Brunswick Taxpayers Association and other groups when sincerely made.

He asserted tiie city has an outstanding group of public officials who were entitled to the cooperation of the public. He referred to the induction of Harold G.

Doolittle, noted speed flier, established a new transcon tinental record for transport airplanes today, touching his wheels at Floyd Bennett Airport, New York, il hours 59 minutes after his takeoff at Los Angeles.

Doolittle was timed at Floyd Bennett at 8:26 a. m. (E. S. and eight and one-half minutes later he set the low-winged transport monoplane down at Newark Airport.

Although previous transcontinental speed flights had ended here, Doolittle's time at the New York field was considered for record purposes. His time of, 11 hours 59 min utes broke by four minutes and 50 seconds the mark set last November 8 by Eddie Rickenbacker when he flew from Los Angeles to Newark in 12 hours 3 minutes 50 seconds. Looking tired but happy, the flying major was greeted here by Mayor-Meyer C. Ellenstein. Accompanying the aviator was Mrs.

Doolittle and Robert Adamson, an oil company official. Doolittle's mark was made de spite the fact that he flew off his course and was picked up by radio a half hour earlier in the vicinity of Cape May, 300 miles south of his true course. "1 didn't do the ship justice," Doolittle said. "I lost an hour and a half by getting off the course and should have been here that much sooner. I guess It was just a' case of poor piloting." Mrs.

Doolittle, however, said gaing astray was the result of "dreadful flying weather." "The ice was had," she said, "and weather conditions were aw ful.
