BODIES At BOTTOM OF SEA
Prof. r. w. Wood Says There Was
No Stopping on Downward
Course.

Baltimore. Md. April 1s.-"The
bodies of the victims OF the Titanic
are at the bottom of the deep never t.
leave It." declared Prof. Robert w.
Wood OF the chair of experimental
physics Of Johns Hopkins university.
1t is unlikely that any of the
corpses will ever return to the sur.
face. as is the case with bodies
drowned in shallow water.
AT the depth of two miles the pros.
sure Of the water is something like
5000 pounds to the square inch. which
is far too great to be overcome by
buoyancy ordinarily given drowned
bodies by the gases generated in
time. +
That the bodies sank to the bot.
tom of the sea there is no question:
he continued. THE Titanic's victims
who were not carried down with the
boat followed until the very bottom
Of the sea was reached. There wal
no such thing az their stopping In

WORRY CAUSES TRAGEDY
Insane Man Shoots Mayor Ladd Of
Sturgis, S. D.

Sturgis, s. D., April 22.-That wor-
ry over his financial troubles, had IN
balanced the mind of Richard Stahl,
the farmer who Saturday shot and
killed Mayor Elmer Ladd of this city
and then killed himself is the settled
conviction. 1t was learned that Stahl
had been cunning for Laid for sew
eral days and for weeks had threat
ened suicide.
All his loose money was in the
Meade County bank Of which Laid
was cashier until it closed the first
of the year and he was unable to
meet some pending obligations. This
and the advise of Ladd on an abstract
of title which later turned wrong,
caused the personal grievance.
Stahl shot and instantly killed May.
or Ladd here Saturday afternoon. He
surrendered himself a little while
later, cut his own throat from ear to
ear in his cell, and died in a few min.
utes.
Ladd, who was about the same age
rs Stahl. was talking with an attor-
ney in the latter's Office, when the
infuriated farmer entered and fired
four shots from a large calibre re-
volver. Ladd was struck by the Sec
ond shot in the head. No one wit
messed the shooting as the others ran
before the shots. Both men leave
families.
