Twenty-seven of the enumerator? 1
from the Valley counties gathered

obtain final instructions from Miles
preparatory to beginning their work
which will cam them to every

census of 1930 The enumerators

of Instruction here Friday relative

Every effort is being made to
oOmply with the request of Wn. L.
Austin director bureau of the
census to place a sample copy of
the 1935 schedule in the viands of
•very fanner so tha* he will be able
to give study to the questions he

Miles states. Some of the Valley
enumerators already arc in ihc field
and the work n scheduled to be

The definition of a farm for een-:
sus purposes is all the land which is
directly farmed by one person eith-
er by hi* own labor alone or with
the asshtance oi members of his
household or lured employes. The
land operated by a partnership is
likewise considered a farm A farm
may consist at a single tract of
land or of a muiube. of separate
tracts and these several tracts may
be held under different 'enures
as when one tract is owned by the
farmer and another tract is rented
by him.
When a landowner has one or
more trnnants renters croppers or
managers the land operated by each
Is considered a farm. No report is
required of a farm of less than
three acres unless its products in
1934 were valued at 9230 a more.
Miles emphasizes the fart that
every supervisor and enumerator
Are sworn to secrecy regarding the
reports. The law provides that the
individual return made by each
Unner is absolutely confidential
Then reports cannot be used for
taxation purposes.

For two weeks the Valley has been
rolling about ft citrs cl cabbage a

Wade said that one contributing
factor to the lower yiice is the fact
that there ar a large number of
shippers in the deal many of whom
operate on a .mail 1:1 rgin of cash
so that they are nci In position to
hold a car long. If they gel caught
with a car they have to sell it. even
if they have to cut the price. »o the
entire market goes down'* he said.
Hs expressed the belief that con-
trol of the shipments from the Val-
ley would help raise the price
Wade called attention also to the
differential declaring it is more im-
portant than ever to get it remov-
ed now. The Corpus Christi-Robh-
town area will start moving large
quantum of cabbage beets and
carrots with in two weeks he said
and with the 125 to $35 a car ad-
vantage they have over the Valley
they will be able to take ihe Val-
iev markets.
“It is important that all Valley
people line up in this fight" he said

MW YORK STOCKS
NEW YORK. Jan. 8.—</P>— Con-
fidence n the financial markets was
tinged with caution Tuesday and
price trends generally were in-
decisive.
Oil stocks led a-moderate decline
In the equities market In rather
active early trading The supreme
court's adverse decision on the gov-
ernment'* regulation of petroleum
transportation brought selling in
the oil division which spread to
other sections which have been
displaying considerable popularity.
Profit-taking soon met some sup-
port and the trading volume dwin-
dled.
Wall atrets inflationists were not
particularly enthused over the new
budget and the sound money forces
apparently were not In a mood to
celebrate the orthodox which was
indicated in the administration's
forthcoming spending program.
Grains pointed a little lower and
cotton was virtually at a standstill.
Bonds were qu et and slightly
irregular although U. S. treasury
loans were a shade Improved. The
dollar exhibited strength against
the leading gold currencies.
Despite the nervousness of shares
generally. Briggs Manufacturing and
Coca-Cola got up 1 and 2 points
respectively to new* highs for the
past year.
Amearda Corp. dropped 2 cents
along with Allied Chemical while
issues down fractions to a point or
more Included Case. American Tele-
phone. Teas Oorp.. Standard Oils
of New Jersey and California Soc-
ony. Atlantic Refining. Santa Pe.
Union Pacific. National Distillers
American Can. General Motors
Chrysler Liggett Si Myers B. Con-
solidated Gas. Western Union. U. 3.
Smelting and Howe Sound.
The comparative steadiness of
steel stocks was encouraging to
those observers who expect that the
continued recovery in this basic
industry will do much to bolster up
other groups of equities which have
been In a hesitant position. '
The oil ruling was said to have
found the petroleum issues in a
somewhat vulnerable spot owing to
the fact that there ha* recently
been considerable buying of shares
of the leading oil companies Pre-
vious interest in this department
was understood to hav> been based
on the belief that the majority of
these stocks had already discount-
ed most ol the bad news and the
le->dine producers would somehow
get together on a substantial cur-
tailment program with or without
government assistance.

cent oil and 50 per cent mud and
drilling water as it cleaned itself
slowly Sunday. The test was allow-
ed to clean on a half-inch tubing
choke. When it began making no-
thing but gas. it was closed in
pressures immediately rising to 1200
pounds on casing and 100 pounds
on tubing. The well is to be lubri-
cated in an effort to build up a col-
umn of oil in the tubing and cause
it to .flow. The test had the upper

connection in the case.
A. Not that I know of.
The defense chief next asked the
taxi driver to describe his passen-
gers the day he delivered the note.
Perrone was unable to do this
beyond recalling that the passenger
preceding the man with the note
had been a young man whose fare
was 15 cents.
Reilly then had Perrone describe
how he met Hauptmann. He said
he saw' the man running out of
Knox place.
**I was surprised to get a hail
that way.” he said.
“And you stopped under a big
bright arclight didn’t you?” in-
quired Reilly caustically.
•Yes.
The taxi driver said Hauptmann
wore a brown double breasted over-
coat. and a brown felt hat
Lieut. John Sweeney was a next
witness. Wilents began his examina-
tion on aspects of the finding of the
ladder.
Sweeney said that he had extend-
ed two of the three sections of the
ladder against the Lindbergh home.
••It reached 30 inches below the
window'.” he said He indicated the
nursery window through which the
state alleges the baby was abduct-
ed.
Stepped Into Nursery
Sweeney said explanation of the
marks of Uie side of the house by
means of a magnifying glass show-
ed particles of wood clinging to the
grey stone.
Sweeney explained he made the
observations irom another ladder
and later said he w as able to step
into the nursery from the rung of
that ladder corresponding to the
top of the kidnap ladder.
Wilentz turned him over to the
defense.
Reilly indicated that he wished
Sweeney to measure the ladder and
over Wilentt’ objection the court
indicated it would permit Sweeney
i to measure it Tuesday aliernoon
Reilly asked Sweeney:
"Ever been a fireman?”
"Yes. sir." Sweeney replied.
There foliowed theu a discussion
ui light conversational tones on the
an of scaling ladders.
Q. You dbn't crouch as you run up
a ladder?
A. I don't know I don't think so
I got to the top and swung myself
in.
Q. But you were able to do that
because of your training as a fire-
man?
A Yes. I suppose 90.
Wilentz then Introduced a series
of question* designed to establish
the possibility that a man could
come down the kidnap ladder tarry-
ing a "package" in his arms.
Could Have Carried Bundle
He M.sked Sweeney if he used both
hu hands in climbing out of the
nursery in the ladder experiment.
Sweeney ssid ••yes.’*
Q. Could you have come out with
a package in your arms
A. I could.
After lengthy questioning Wilenu
secured Sweeney s opinion that a
two section ladder would break at
the dowel or joint pin in the event
of too great a weight.
Sweeney pointed out that the
ladder in court was broken at pre-
cisely the join where the dowel tfin
attached.
Relly on cross examination de-
manded:
• You didn't see this ladder crack?**
A. No.
Q. You didn't go up it to the
Lindbergh nurserv window?
A. No.
Q You never carried a bundle
down it from that window?
A No.
"That's all.” Reilly finished.
Wilents stopped the witness aa he
rose frem the stand.
"You didn't take the child out the
Lindbergh window e ther did you?”
Sweeney's "no” wia drowned out
as the court resounc ed with laugh-
ter. He was excused
Hockmuth said he >ad seen a man
In a car In Hopewe.l on March 1.
1932 The baby was kidnaped that
night.
He said there was a ladder in the
car.
Wilents asked Hockmuth if he
could point out "that man" in the
car.
•There he is.” he said hie shak-
ing finger pointed to Hauptmann.
"Now will veu step down end place
your hand his shoulder.’*
Reilly objected to this until the
aged man aaid "he's the man be

tween the state trooper and the
mac in the white shirt."
Puts Hand on Bruno
He then got down from the chair
and placed his hand gingerly on
Hauptmanns shoulder and then
withdrew it gingerly.
Hauptmann shook his head in
short negative rolls.
“I saw the car coming and the
mac in it looked out of the window
at me as if he had seen a ghost."!
Hockmuth said.
"I object." Reilly sang out "I ob-
ject to ghost stories.”
The old man trembling violently
and speaking In an almost inaudible
tone said the car swung into the
Lindbergh lane and Stopped brief-
ly.
Q. Do you remember the color* oi
the car?
A. Yes a dirty green.
Reilly began cross examination.
Reilly asked the witness to tell if
he had stood in the courtroom door-
way with a state trooper during
Monday’s session.
“Did that state trooper point out
Bruno Richard Hauptmann to you
as he sat in his seat” bellowed
Reilly.
“No.” shot back the shaky voice
with spirit.
Wilentz bounded to his feet In
strenuous objection.
* I object to the defense badger-;
tng this witness.”
The bearded little man. who gave
his age as 87. shook His hand clasp-
ed and unclasped continually. His
head shook nervously.
Justice Trenchard overruled sev-
ere! objections of the attorney gen-
eral.
‘ I see no badgering here.” the
Justice remarked
•’This is a point of inquiry.”
‘Saw liiir March 1’
The 87-year-old surprise witness
answered a number of questions
about when he moved to Hopewell
before Reilly snapped:
Q. What was the date you say you
saw this man?
A. March 1 1932.
Q What day of the week?
A. Tuesday. I think It was Tues-
' day.
Q What time did you see that
dirty green car?
A. About noon. It was a clear day. j
Reilly then had the old man de-
scribe that he had seen Haupt-
i mann from his vantage point on the
kitchen porch which fronted on
ihe Lindbergh estate entrance line I
! which Hockmuth referred to as
"Lindy's road.”
I He said he heard the dirty green
jear coming he looked at the road
thinking it might be Lindbergh.
Q. Ws.v it a cold day?
A. It was March.
Q How fast seas the car going
when you first saw the man?
A. About forty miles an hour.
* He speeded around the turn.’
the old man said.
• Then he 6lid into the ditch. |
stopped and .started again. '
"How many cars did you say you
saw go into the ditch before this
one?”
•Seven.’*
Q. And prior to this one. on what1
date did one go Into the ditch?
A. I can't remember.
Jail Visit Questioned
“How was the man dressed. '
Reilly asked referring to the man in
the dirty green car.
“I think he had a dark shirt on. {
All I saw of him was the red face
and the glaring eye” the feeble
voice replied.
Reilly questioned the old man on
his visit to the jail a month ago
when he viewed Hauptmann. He
sought to bring out the old man's
memory was faulty.
The defense had Hockmuth say
several times he had “never" told
anyone of seeing Hauptmann.
When Wilenti sought to bring
out that the trembling old man had
discussed the case with state offi-
cials. Reilly objected strenuously but
Justice Trenchard overruled him
and said the state had the right to |
clarify the point.
Reilly demanded to know whether!
Hockmuth had ever been In an in-
stitution
’ I was employed in the Hudson
River State hoepital at Poughkeep-
sie. N. Y.” he said.
Under further questioning he said
he had been beck there for a visit I
but “never stayed there.”
He said he first learned about
Hauptmann in the newspapers.
“I read about him and saw his
picture there.” he said.
Reilly excused the old man and
WilentE waived redirect.

HARLINGEN Jan 8 — Unit
chairmen of the Valley Vegetable
Growers association will have an-
other week In which to obtain
signatures to petitions asking re-
moval of the Rotetown freight rate
differential it was decided at a Val-
ley-wide meeting here Monday

All of the petitions were to have
been turned in at the meeting under

time.
It was decided that each county
is to select a representative to go to
Washington in an effort to have the
differential rate removed.
The $1 per car charge to be paid
by shippers to help finance an of-
fice and information bureau for the
growers' organization will be put
into effect Monday it was anonunc-
ed by R. Roy Ruff of Brownsville
member of the executive committee.
Shippers who have not yet been
contacted on the proposal to pay $1
to the farm organization on every
carload of produce shipped lrom the
Valley are to be contacted during
the week. Ruff said.
Twenty-five local units from tfie
three Valley counties were repre-
sented at the Monday night meet-
ing.
