Discuss N. S. g Fish Industry

OTTAWA. 0nt.. Mar. 6. — (By the Canadian Press) —- A Round Table Conference of Conseravtive members of Parliament and Sena- tors from Nova Sootia was held over the week-end when matters appertaining to that Province were discussed generally.

The feeling of the meeting was that payment of a bounty on salt fish would materially help the in- dustry which at present is some- what in danger of going out 0! business. Another subject discus- sed was that of the possibility of obtaining an increased bounty on coal for coking purposes.

The subject of grain rates from the head of the Lakes to Saint John and Halifax also was review- ed. These cities recently asked the government for a reduced rate to Maritime ports which would be only one cent higher than the rate from Fort William to Quebec. Ef- forts to obtain the rate will be continued.

The St. Lawrence Waterways, as affecting the Maritime Provinces, was also discussed.

The Lindbergh statement, couch-

fld 1X1 $901381)’ ambiguous lang-

uage, was subject to a variety of interpretations. It said:

‘ "If the kidnappers of our “Ind B" “Wiwllk to deal dir- eet, we fully authorized "Salvy” Spllalsand Irving Bitz to act as our go-betwecns. We will also follow any other method sug- 5 ‘ ’ by the kidnappers that we can be sure will bring the return of our child.

“CHARLES A. LINDBERGH

“ANNE LDIDBERGH.”

Some interpreted the announce- ment to mean that the Lindberglis have already been in some sort of communication with the kidnap- pers and the appointment of Spit- ale and Bitz was the first step in actual negotiations for payment of the demanded $50,000 ransom. Others believed it was merely an invitatiolfito the kidnappers, who had not been in contact with the Lindberghs. to get in touch with the go-betweens as being safe per- sons for criminals to deal with. The announcement also left it open to interpretation whether Spitale and Bitz themselves were known to the Lindbergh: and had been appointed after a conference or whether the Lindberghs merely were given names and told they were what are known in the under- world as "right guys." Police were non-committal about the whole matter of the under- world go-betweens but the Jersey State police did say they were not looking for Spitale and Bitz, knew nothing about them and were ig- norant of how the Llndberghs had picked on them as emissaries. So far as could be learned, Lind- bergh remained at his home all day, but the army of reporters here watched all roads ceaselessly in the belief that he might‘ be planning a sortie, possibly into the underworld itself at the call of the kidnappers or their representatives. In their published appeals to the kidnappers the Lindberghs have expressed their willingness to g0 anywhere at any time to meet the kidnappers or their henchmen for a. discussion of terms. The histories of Spitale and Bitz are as dark as the low clouds which hung over the Lindbergh home to- day, pouring rain, snow and sleet down on the sour mud of the hill- top estate from which ‘the 20- month-old child was spirited away Tuesday night. Both are knowil to New York police as former friends of Jack (Legs) Diamond, the gangster who was murdered in Albany, N. Y., in December after three previous‘ at- tempts on his life. Diamond was reported to have double crossed his former ners in bootlegging ventures. It was well known among detectives that bitter emnlty had supplanted the warm friendship that once ex- isted between them.

Spitale was sought for question-

ing after Diamond was killed. His

brother, Joe, is the proprietor of

a. roadllouse in the Catskills near

the Aratoga Illll at which “Legs"

was shot in orlc of the previous at- tempts on his life.

Wheil gunmen poured a fusil-

ado into Diamond in tllc Hotel

Monticello in the fall of 1930, Ho-

tel employees said two men giving

the names of the Spitzlie brothers llad visited Diamond's room during

the day. “Salvy" Spitale was brought be- fore "Pollce Conlnllssloner Mul-

rooney of New York durlngthe in- vestigation of the murder of Vin- l cent Coll, young Metropolitan gang leader, and was quoted as saying he was “through with the racket as far as this sllooting business goes."

“There are plenty of ways to make money without using a. gun," lhe was quoted as telling Commis- isioner Mulrooncy.

Neighbors said Spltale has two children, a boy and a girl‘. He is described as about 35 years old, a natty dresser, about five feet eight inches tall and of swartlly com- plexlon.

He was said by his friends, how- ever, to know Lindbergh only as “that famous flier."

while Diamond was known as a man trusted by no one, Spitale is recognized in underworld circles as a man who keeps his word. Police Inspector Vincent Swee- ney in New York described him as "an able fixer."

Commissioner Mulrooney said Spltale was arrested on a narcotic charge in 1926 and 1927 and that the charge was dismissed. He said he could not issue photographs or other information about the two men because‘ their records had been removed from his files-

Alcorn in Hartford, In- hounced shortly after noon W“ the sailor had been taken to B11819" wood, where he once lived, at ii P- m. yesterday by County Detective Edward J. Hickey, who, with Al- corn, came into prominence dill‘- ing their prosecution of Gerald Chapman. police slayer.

Johnson had been taken 111w custody at the home of a. brother in Hartford Friday night, almost simultaneously with the discovery 0f two communications to the Lilldberghs in the mail at Hart- ford. He was questioned all Fri- day night and the grilling was re- newed behind locked doors there yesterday.

Jersey State Police officials up until today have said repeatedly they were not interested in John- son and did not want to question him. Although they subjected his sweetheart, Miss Gow, to lengthy questioning. they described her yesterday as being "all rlght." Since the arrest of Johnson there has been little indication of what has been learned from ques- tioning him. ‘ l "He will be helrl on the basis of his own story," Alcorn said.

It was learned the Connecticut authorities were interested in a. milk bottle cup from New Jersey dated Wednesday which was found in a car Johnson had used. (John- son said he arrived irl Hartford early Wednesday. An official point- ed out milk dated Wednesday is not put on sale until Thursday.) The authorities also were check- ing a telephone call Johnson made to Miss Gow Tuesday night and his whereabouts at that time.

At Newark no one was permitted even to see Johnson pending the arrival of Brex from the Lindbergh home. It was established that at 3 p. m. Johnson was taken to Breads office to await the ,latter‘s arrival. Officers escorting Johnson llad madefa stop with him earlier in Englewood.

NEW YORK. N. Y., March 6.— Tile New York American says "Salvy" Spitale, named by Col. Charles A. Lindbergh as a "go-be- tween" in the kidnapping of.’ his son, had issued an appeal to whom- ever has the child to get in touch with him. ‘

'I‘ie paper printed the following statement as coining from Spitale:

“When I was first approached in this matter by representatives of the Lindberghs I said I did not want to have my name dragged in- to such a delicate situation, but that if I could help in any way to aid the Lindberghs get back their child I would be only too glad to do so and would take any sacrifice up- on myself that would aid toward that end.

“I wish the New York American to print this request for me-that I ask whoever has the child to com- municate with me at tile earliest; possible opportunity eiihe: through a. representative of the Lindberglls or through the Llndberghs person- ally.

“Nothing in the world would have brought me into this very delicate situation if I did not know what it is to be a father, having two children of my own, and if I did not know that the missing child is not only the child of the Lind- berghs, bllt the child of America.”

A war ofhce statement explained:

"Troops previously designated as

Our military nuthoriies are doing their utmost to insure complete cessation of fighting in‘ accordance with tllc statement of‘ General Yoshlliori Shrakawa of‘ March 3, but it is impossible to tell how tile Chinese will behave."

The statement indicated that the movement of reinforcements will be halted when Japan was assured that “Clfnese provocative actiont" were ended.

1t was learned authoritatively that the reinforcements referred to by tllc war office comprised an un- named division aild strong auxiliary forces. It was poslble that this force would be diverted to Manchuria to,‘ replace various units there if it| were not needed at Shanghai. ,
