Two men boarded the train shortly before it left Los Angeles and made a thorough search of the train. They forced conductor Dan Burke into a compartment and held him prisoner until the train reached the suburb of Highland Park. No attempt waa made to rib or molest the passengers, Santa Fe officials reported.

They were at a loss to account for the mens actions ether than to theorize they might have been part of a gang, other members of which were to carry out the actual kMnaplng. When the train reached San Bernardino a check of passengers was made, but revealed no one missing, although report that Joseph Seacock, motion picture producer and estraoged husband of Norma Talmadge, the act-ess, was missing from the train caused railway officials to make a hurried check.

RCA Radiotron Inc. Harriion. N. J. A Radio Corporation America Subsidiary at the United States Arsenal in Spring-field he went to Providence.

One of Mr Lelands inventions; the barbers' hair clippers, was ths principal factor in determining his future career. It was in the lata '80s, when he was superintendent of a sawing machine shop at Providence. The company also manufactured horse clippers. A barber with an inquiring mind asked Mr Leland why clippers could not be mads to cut mens hair also. The query appealed to Lelands inventive genius and from the horss cllpgers he evolved the machine now used by barbers everywhere.

Instead of taking out a patent on the invention, Mr Leland turned it over to his company. Within a year the sales of the clippers netted ths company a profit of $1000 a day and Mr Leland was rewarded with an increase in pay of 50 cents a day. Opened Shop In Detroit In 1890 Then was that he determined to be an employer instead of an employee. To put his plan in operation he moved to Detroit in 1890 and started the small machine shop that eventually led him into the automobile business. Like Henry Ford, the Dodge brothers and other auto pioneers, he opened a small shop on Detroit East Side.

He began the manufacture of email tools, later qualified as a gear-cutting expert and found his metier the automobile industry when he began making transmissions for the one-cylinder car designed in 19C0 by Ransom E. Olds. His firm name then was Leland Faulconer Company. Before going to Detroit, Mr Leland had engaged in the manufacture of engines for what he termed so-called naphtha launches, and it was upon the experience gained an that work that he based his prediction of the future of the internal combustion engines. In the early '90s he founded the Cadillac Company and became the first quantity produeer-of quality cars.

It was as head of tha Cadillac Company that Ms Leland introduced storage battery Ignition, electric lighting, electric statijng and thermostatic control of engine temperatures. He waa general manager until 1809, and then president and advisory manager until the company waa taken over in 1917 by the General Motors Corporation, when he was 74. Manufactured Liberty Motors Whether he actually proposed to retire when the Cadillac Company was taken over is not known, but when the. United States entered the World War, tha then 75-year-old mechanical genius got into the fray by organizing the Lincoln Motor Company chiefly for the production of the Liberty motor. Beautiful engines they were, too, Mr Leland once said of the Liberty motors.

They would have won the war if the Jeietr hadnt run away so soon. I used to spend 10 to 18 hours a day at the plant when we were making those engines, but it was no hardship. I felt we were doing a real service, and work is the best fun I have. His Litigation With the Fords Financial troubles, however, waylaid the Lincoln company, and it went into a Federal receivership in 1923. It was taken over by the Fords In 1924.

That action ultimately led to a break between Mr Leland and his old friend, Henry Ford. The latter bought in the Lincoln properties at the receivership sale for $8,000,000. In 1927, Mr Leland and his eon, Wilfred, brought suit against Henry end Edsel Ford, alleging breach of faith. The Leland sought $6,000,000 damages for original stockholders of the Lincoln company, claiming that the Fords had orally agreed to reimburse the stockholders when they took over the properties. Starting in the Oakland, Mich, Circuit Court, the suit went twice to the State Supreme Court, being turned back each time, the last time being in May, 1931.

The Lelands were unable to start a new action because of the lapse of six years since the oral agreement was alleged to have been made, and on Sept 2. 1931, Mr Leland announced in a letter to 2400 early stockholders in the Lincoln company that there was no further recourse at law, and he would make no 'urther effort to prosecute the suit. Not Cast Down by Defeat Although he was in advanced years and his career apparently capped with failure when the Lincoln Company went into receivership, Mr Leland was undaunted, unbeaten. You know, he said, a man can reach a time in life when he hasnt as much to worry about as he had at 25 and was wondering how to get on and support his family. Troubles that might upset you at 25 roll off your back at 75.

Mr Leland was of strong convictions, characteristically blunt and outspoken. He was an ardent prohibitionist and emphatic in his opposition to organized labor. He attracted much attention when the United States entered the World War by protesting to Washington against the drafting of skilled mechanics and the exemption of alien mechanics. It waa significant of Mr Lelands admiration for Abraham Lincoln that be named his wartime plant the Lincoln Motor Company and located it on Lincoln av, Detroit. He recalled that Lincoln was President when he entered upon his career in the Crompton loom mills at Worcester, and shortly afterwards, during the Civil War, at the United States arsenal in Springfield.

A portrait of the Civil War President always hung on the wall of Mr Leland's office and a. notable collection of Lincoln literature comprised a part of his library. Reading and Bible study were his chief recreations. Climbed 433 Steps at 89 Of unusual vitality, Mr Leland demonstrated his activity on his 80th birthday by climbing the 433 steps to his office on the 22d floor of the Dime Savings Bank Building in Detroit and walking down again. Asked how it felt to be 80, he replied: Im a bit embarrassed.

You see, its the first time I ever was 80. He declared then that he had no intention of retiring, adding: My plans are not yet quite mature. Ive had some hard bumps, but thats all over now. Mr Lelend wee one of the founders of the National Metal Tradea Association, the National Founders Association and the United Order of the Golden Cross. Hs always took an active interest in the National Association of Manufacturers and was associated with many civic, social end benevolent organizations as well as those closely related with his business.

He had been president of the Amor, lean Society of Automobile Engineers and waa founder and for many yaara president of the Detroit Citizena League, He was affiliated with the Westminster Presbyterian Church and one of its leading figures.

Maney was gathering driftwood, when he thought he saw a body lying face downward in the water. Ha ran to the skating rink, nearby, and called Charles Beauchin, 19, of 31 Irving way. Beauchin grabbed a rope and ran back to the waters edge and with Ma-neys help fastened the rope around the body an pulled it ashore. The Nahant Coast Guard station was notified by telephone and Capt Ralph C. Rich and a crew of six men proceeded to the spot.

WORKING QUIETLY FOR PROMPT RETURN OF LINDBERGH BABY Continued From the First Page ciated Preas, I am not In a position to answer that. The optimistic expressions here were in sharp contrast with New Jersey police reports that Col Lindbergh himself placed no specific significance on the Norfolk investigation. BELIEVE LINDBERGH TO ISSUE FOURTH APPEAL HOPEWELL, -N March 26 (A. While three Norfolk citizens did th'eir best to restore kidnaped Charles A.

Lindbergh Jr to his parents today, his father was believed to be considering issuing a fourth appeal to the persons who stole the child March 1. Thrice Col Lindbergh, willing to pay ransom to get the child back, hae issued public pleas to the kidnapers to open negotiations, but these have filled to accomplish the desired object. Information from friends of the family was that he might try again. He has pledged himself not to try to injure the kidnapers if they will return the child. Speculation was rife as to the Lindbergh statement of yesterday, that the information furnished by Rev H.

Dob-son-Peacock and two other Norfolk men, was considered to have no significance. Observers of the great hunt for tne child pointed out that dealing with' kidnapers secrecy was a paramount necessity, and that there might be more behind the official statements than appeared. This was a matter, however, on which there was -no official information. Police had no doubt the go-between who approached the Virginia men rep-' resented himself as an agent of the kidnapers, but authorities believed that the question of substantiating the claim was another matter. This go-between is reported to have said the kidnapers would return the child under certain conditions.

The hunt for Harry Fleischer In Washington aroused interest. This reputed graduate of the Purple Gang was in New Jersey about the time of the kidnaping, police have been told, and they want to question him about his movements. A report that the baby was held on a in Chesapeake Bay still went unconfirmed. Authorities at Baltimore ordered a search of vessels.1 Meanwhsle the checking of' leads goes on. The State police have a caTd index of them.

It contains 1500 cards, FOR LINDBERGH BABY IN WASHINGTON WASHINGTON, March 26 (A. sudden, unexpected tip swung the feverish search for the Lindbergh baby and his kidnapers into the center of the Capital. As hopes alternately rose and waned from the many clews being followed about the country, a man greatly resembling Harry Fleischer, reputed leader of the Detroit purple gang badly wanted for questioning in connection with the case sinca he dropped from sight some time ago sought lodging last night on an obscure Washington street. It was early midnight. Four youths vho saw him and another man walk to the door, noted a small car outside.

In it sat a woman and a baby. They recalled news pictures of Fleischer and when the men had been turned away for lack of room, called the police. From the rogues gallery, officers said, the immediately picked out Fleischer's picture. By radio and teletype the authorities sent orders to spot the oar or the men and call reserves. Cruising police autos, radio equipped, carried on an incessant watch through the night.

The police were certain the group had found lodging in the city, eithei in a rooming house or a tourist camp. They warned patrolmen that the men were dangerous. Fleischer and Abie Wagner, both said by the New Jersey police to be known kidnapers, have been sought intensively for some time, ostensibly to get an account of their activities just prior to, at the time of, and since the kidnaping. Wagner was said to have been seen in Central New Jersey shortly before the baby was taken, but both he and Fleischer have dropped from sight completely since. Description of Baby In the description circulated by police last night the man said to resemble Fleischer was described as wearing a bandage on his head, partly covered by a hat, and looking like a foreigner.

The boys who saw the man said ho was so tough looking. His companion looked like a foreigner, they said. None of the seveial people who saw the men got good look at the woman and baby. The car was described as a small sedan, 1929 or 1930 model, either blue or gry with white-lettered, black license plates. Police received a report that a man resembling Fleischer spent the night at a tourist camp at HyattsvlUe, Md, near here, and left early today for Baltimore.

Maryland State Police, however, said they placed no credence in the report and were not watching the Washing, ton to Baltimore highways. Some doubt was expressed by Washington police as to the identification of the men seen. They considered it almost incredible that any- kidnaper versed in underworld way would present himself at a rooming house with a woman and baby at a time like this, and at an hour so late as to make arrival suspicious.

This is a portrait of the poet Gongora, who was contemporary with Cervantes. Looked at from the standpoint of pure painting, it is probably the fipest portrait by, the Spanish master in this country. Technically it is superb, in drawing, in modeling and in the suavity of ths brush' work. It is a question if Velasquez ever painted a better portrait, What it cost the museum is not known, but judging from the prices paid for other portraits by -Veiasquez in tha Museum, this might well be regarded as cheap at $50, 000. Might Be Called The Cynic The capacity of Velasquez to portray the real character of a person is well illustrated in this portrait of Gongora.

His full name, by the Way, was Luis de Gongora Argote. As poet and dramatist, he was known to the world as Gongora. He was even more of a cynic than Cervantes, for he ldcked the latters fine sense of humor. The portrait which Velaaquez painted might very well be called The Cynic, for it bears all the outward evidence in the structure of the face and head-all that would constitute a mask for the keen, morbid, analytical mind behind it. There was more of irony than bitterness in Gongoras natuie.

He was an NORTH END YOUNG MAN BADLY SLASHED Refuses to Tell Police Who Attacked Him Slashed by an assailant whom he refused to identify for police, Alfred Longo, 21, of 47 North Margin at, North End. was taken to the Haymar-ket-sq Relief Hospital from the scene of the attack at Salem and I armenter sts. last night, with a knife wound in hia neck extending from below the left ear to Just below his mouth.

United States Senator Jesse H.

Coupled with this moral crisis is the critical and dangeious approach to confiscatory taxation whiti might well be put aside with the repeal of the 18th amendment.

Must Have Made His Reputation Velasquez saw righU through Gongora when he painted that portrait in 1622, whn the poet was 61 years of age, and just five years before he died. Velasquez had just come to 'Madrid and was not very well known.

portrait must have given him an instant reputation.
