 of the Murder

Meridian, Miss, January 23.-(Special) The authorities are now actively looking for information as to the identity of two men who were seen standing on a store gallery diagonally across the street from the home of Judge Moody Price about Il o'clock on the night he was hacked to death while asleep in his bed by the side of his wife. The information that two such men were seen there at that hour by young man passing in an automo- bile was learned for the first time today
 but whether they were negroes or white men, the police informant could not say
 Chief of Police Monette also learned to- day from a prominent Mobile and Ohio railroad conductor that on the night Of the murder when he was on his way to the passenger station to take his tram out at about 2 o'clock in the morning, shortly after the murder is supposed to have been committed, he heard men run ming on the paved street about i've blocks from the Price home. The con- ductor stated that his attention was at tracted to tho noise made by the runners because of the unusual hour, but that he was not able to see who they were
 The place where he says he heard the men running is along the route taken by Bob Gant's bloodhound when the doS was following a trail from the Price home that led to the railroad yards and then into the country, where Tit was finally lost on the Vimville paved high- way about Az miles from the city Ine authorities appear to be no nearer so- lution of the mystery surrounding the murder today than on the morning oA January 14 when the crime was com rDjtted z

Ormond Beach, Fla, January 23.- The houseboat Victoria, on which President-elect Harding is cruising lstop of her voyage at Ormond Beach this afternoon. and disembarked her passengers for a two-hour motor ride along the Florida East Shore boule- wards. The stop here and brief tie-
 up when the Victoria tried to go through the Ormond drawbridge. were
 the only incidents on the log of the houseboat during peaceful Sundays sailing.
 Taking advantage of perfect wealth Ter. she pushed ahead of her schedule. and when she tied up for the night she was within few hours of Rock ledge. where the party expects to go ashore some time tomorrow for a golf match.
 During the automobile ride. MT. Harding and his companions drove into Daytona, eight miles from here, and brought back Senator A. B. Cum mins of Iowa. who has been at a Daytona hotel, and who will make the remainder of the house party trip as member of the vacation party.
 Under a hot sun, the President-elect came ashore waaring white woolcns and straw hat. His visit attracted little attention, though the Victoria docked within a stones throw Of a big tourist hotel. Details of his va. cation trip had been kept confidential and only a few of the guests here learned of his arrival after the vic- toria had headed down stream again.
 The trouble at the drawbridge oc- cured socn afterward and held up the Victoria for more than an hour. She attempted the passage at too shallow point. and stuck in the mud in such position that the bridge could not be closed until her little en- zine had forced, way out. inch by inch. Meantime. more than score of were held up. and . crowd of several hundred gathered sn the bridge and cheered the houseboat when she finally extractd herself. At no time was the Victoria in a dan gerous position, and although her rud- 1 der was slightly damaged. her master said the injury was not serious.
