MATTIC,E, Ontario. Jan. THE three
American Navy balloonists, returning
from their record breaking trip in the
north were believed today to be on tho
home stretch by dog team from Moose
Factory to Afattice, where they will en-.
train for home.
The ayiatcRs will be met by a de
tachment Of the royal Canadian mounted
police. A police sergeant has arrived
here ready to extend to the flyers, in
the name OF tho Dominion. the services
Of himself and the whole mounted squad
Mt Hailybury Incidentally the sergeant
must report formally TO ottawa that 'q
foreign aircraft arrived in Canada with
out permission" This. however, Is
mere formality. The condition OF the
last sixty miles OF trail over which the
viators-LieutenaR Is Kloor, Farrell and
Hinton-their INDIAN guides and their
dog teams must tra tel on the final dash
for this village, is slid to be very good
The trail over vi Nch the Americans
are travelling from MGpse Factory to this
point IS q good one kcept when a thaw
seftehs Ii or when q ST Fong wind springs
up. Travellers are exI t0sed 10 the wind
most OF the way as the re Is only sparse
growth of stunted tim ber, affordiug no
break to the sweep Of tn icy gales which
come whooping down olt Of the north.

tween two shelters In sue b a wind storm
It would have a hard time surviving un-
less an expert trail ira yeler were on
hand to help them out. The inhabitants
here take pleasure in warming about what
has happened to some Of the parties
caught out on the trails.
Two whites and two Crees last winter
met bad weather just after leaving Moose
Factory. One Of the whites was so bad
ly frozen he died shortly after reaching
here.
OLD timers cay the existing weather is
ideal for the trip. The only thermometer
in these parts is In possession OK Hudson
Bay officials, who say the mercury has
only gone under below zero once this
winter. That was at Christmas time
nfter the flyers were safe at Moose Fac
tory. At that time 1t dropped to %

THIS IS HE'LL
IS PRISONERS
ONLY COMMENT

Nearly six years ago I started work
ing on this case and now is falls to me to
take Bush to Jail" said Worley.
Gas we neared the Jail Bush weakened
n bit and said, This is hell!
SCHEDULED TO MOVE
AT ONCE.
Bush is scheduled to be taken to the
Indiana State Farm at once. Deery, the
minute that Bush was surrendered to
tho sheriff, received a discharge releas-
ing the bonding company, which was on
Bushs bond, from further liability.
This ends, for the time being, the eff
forts of Bush to dodge his sentence of
four months, following a jury trial which
resulted in his conviction and Judgment
of 5000 and costs and four months on the
Indiana State Farm an assault and bat
terry charge, growing out of an affair in
connection with a county election two
years previous to the trial.
Bush appealed from the Criminal Court
to the State Supreme Court, which at
frmed the finding of the trial court after
a deliberation Of about four years. Fol
lowing this, attorneys for Bush were
given sixty days to file q motion for
new trial, which was not done. On Dec
II, last, the finding Of the Supreme Court
was returned to the Criminal Court.
USES DEATH OF
HIS LAW.
After some. delay, Bush appeared in
court after Christmas ana asked for a
stay Of execution until Wednesday Of
this week because his mother in-law was
Ill On Tuesday of this week, Bush ap.
peared in court and stated tAat his
mother-in-law was dead and that he de-
sired TO attend the funeral
Thursday morning, Prosecutor Evans
decided to find out" why Bush had not
surrendered himself.
Then things happened fast and furious
until the jail doors closed on Bush
1t is thought an appeal will be made
soon to the Governor for a parole for
Bush.

Pledges to enforce the State prohi-
bition law to the letter and to cooperate
in the enforcement OF Federal dry stat
4etes have been made by a number OF
Circuit Court judges, prosecuting attor-
neys and sheriffs Of Indiana in reply TO
general letters which Charles ]. Orbison,
Federal prohibition director for Indiana,
sent to each such official beginning
term on Jan. 1.
Mr. Orbison stated in his letters to each
class that the Government again this
year will expect county officers TO bear
the greater brunt of the burden of en-
forcing prohibition, since Indiana has an
effective prohibition measure, but that the
Federal dry agencies viii stand ready to
lend assistance at all times.
Some Of the officials, particularly the
judges and a few of the prosecuting at
torneys, spoke of defects in existing laws
which make suppression of the liquor
evil and its attendant ills more difficult
Remedies for some of these defects were
proposed.
CHANGE OF VENUE -.-''--
Law ATTACKED.
The judges pointed to the abuse of the
suspended sentence law, blaming this for
the present lawlessness and the use OF
the change of venue law by criminals to
escape judges known to be prone to as
sess real penalties for real low violation.
The blame for lax law enforcement was
put On juries by one court.
Among the sheriffs who have replied
is George Snider, new incumbent Of the
office in Marion County.
