clared the mystery in the death
last Friday night of Samuel A.
Lofts, millionaire diamond dealer,
had disappeared and that the au-
thorities were satisfied he was kill
ed by an accidental fall.
Miss Ruth Woods, cashier of the
Edgewater Beach hotel, who was
with Lofts when he died and who
has since been held as a witness,
will be released as soon as the COR
oner's inquest is completed, Ga
rity said. Her fiance, Roy M.
Shayne, a protege of Lofts, who
came to the latter's apartments in
response to a phone call from the
girl, already has been released.
Garrity said the police were con-
vinced that Lofts. while intoxicat-
ed. fell and struck the back of his
head on the floor, causing a cereb:
raj hemorrhage.
The 'Jewel mystery" also ha.
been cleared up, according to the
police chief. 1t was first reported
that Miss Woods took jewelry val
ued at several thousand dollars
from Lofts apartment after his
death. Instead. Garrity said, she
took only a watch and ring. valued
at $4,000. These, she insists. were
given to her by LOFTS. In view Of

REPORT FIRST
PLANE STOLEN
Thieves Now Turn Attention tG
@Higher Things" and Make
Away With Flying Machine.

Chicago, Aug. 2.-The first air
plane theft in Chicago occurred
yesterday at Checkerboard Field.
The field hangers are not extern
sively. guarded. So there wass no
interference to the two men who
arrived at the fling field at day
break and opened a hangar where
a Standard plane was housed.
The pair trundled the plane
around SO that it's nose pointed into
the wind. Evidently both understood
flying. One climed into the pilots
seat, while the other turned the
propeller and primed the motor.
Then at the shout of contact
the switch was on and the blades
spun into action.
The man who had cranked go1
into the forward cockpit and with 8
roar the Standard sped across the
ground and SKINNED into the air.
Two or three sleepy merchant:
who had watched the take-of sud.
denly realized what was taking
place. A telephone call was put il
for officials of the field.
An hour afterward several ships
had taken the air and from ex
treme attitudes the pilots wer'
searching with glasses for tn,
stolen plane. Enough gasoline wa
in the tank of the robbers car II
carry it 130 miles.
But later in the day the missing
machine was found. The wOuld-b'
thieves had been forced to LIANT
four miles from Checkerboart
Field. Engine trouble had stallel
them, an examination showed.
The men had stripped the plan
Of instruments, valued It severs

Dayton, Ohio. Aug. 2.-Governor
Cox, Democratic candidate for the
presidency, and Jimmy Coz news
paper reporter and editor, are merg-
ed into one personality. but as the
writer visited the Democratic nom
inee and watched him work on the
speech of acceptance there seemed
no doubt that Jimmy Cox, active
newspaperman, was predominant.
Seated in his study on the upper
door of his country home, where he
could rest his eyes on landscape
of transcendent beauty, the COVER
nor had spread around him batches
of copy paper. clippings. documents
and records in exactly the same
disorder that one finds on any news
paper desk before editions go to
press.
Uses Regular Copy Paper.
The governor was writing long
hand in pencil on the rough news
print paper which is used every
day BY reporters. He had been
writing rapidly-as if the next edi.
ton of his newspaper demanded
his CODY. As the writer entered,
the governor swept aside a noun
tain of copy paper and talked en-
Enthusiastically about his subjects.
He wished he didn't have to make
a formal speech OF acceptance. but
could make a stump speech. He
wanted to get into the fray with
out the studied formalities that
must accompany speech OF ac-
ceptance. He told me he was saw
ing a good deal of material for
speeches to be made on the stump
later on.
The Democratic nominee gave
the appearance OF happiness and
, confidence. He didn't say anyshine
about the result next November
but he said a good deal about the
certainty which he felt in the right

speech, and there's one passage in
particular which he is guarding
with the utmost care. One reason
why the writer couldn't help think
ing 1t was Jimmy Cox, the news
paperman, rather than the candi-
date who was working on that
speech. was the governors refer
ence to the mysterious paragraph
which he plans to insert in his
speech at the last moment by CIV
ing it to the correspondents next
Saturday to send by wire. Ordin-
arily a speech of this kind is pre-
pared a week in advance so that
it can be mailed to all the news
papers from coast to coast and thus
get the widest publicity. To hold
1t till the last minute and then put
1t on the telegraph wires would
burden those wires and keep other
news of the day from being distrib-
uted to its usual proportion. So
with a speech like this-eight col
umns long-the author must finish
it week ahead of time to catch
all editions on the Pacific coast. A
small insert can readily be sent by
wire, and one reason why Governor
Cox doesn't want the particular
paragraph in the speech ahead OF
time is his certainty that it will be
promptly carried back to Republi-
can headquarters. Sending a speech
to hundreds of newspapers means
having it pass through countless
hands. There isn't much secrecy
about speeches given out in ad.

them is concerned, though to be
sure they are never published in
newspapers before the date Of de.
