SEEKING WOMAN HER
 HUSBAND DIVORCED
Mrs. Eleanor Book Wants to Share Prosperity With Mir. Books
 Former Wife.

Chicago, Aug. 30.-Elemental hu. man emotion was displayed yesterday by Mrs. Eleanor Book, wife of 8 wealthy San Francisco man, whc made a journey to Chicago to find the wife her husband deserted twen- ty-four years ago and give sSare of some, of his prosperity. John G. Book found fortune in mines. Then he quietly obtained a divorce and married the present Mrs. Book.
 T can't rest until find her. said Mrs. Eleanor Book. T have found some persons who used to know her, but they say that after she had waited hopefully for several years for word of her husband she dropped out of sight. She was sensitive about the heard the incest things about her and my heart aches for her the way she was treated. MT. Book has money now, and I want her to have her share.
 T want to know that she is getting along all right. I've been here before trying to find her. I've tried adver- tising, but have never been able to get in touch with her. I'm afraid that she is so hurt she won't answer even If she does see that I am looking for her. I'll keep on until I do. My at- torney, John T. Duffy is helping me.
 John wants me to find her too now, so I'll get it out of my mind" she added.
 Things will never be right between us until I find the other woman, added the second Mrs. Book. Her shadow is between us. I must know how things are with her"

MURDERED; BODIES ARE SUNK IN CARS
Two Corpses, Tightly Bound, Re covered in Missouri River

Kansas City. Mo, Aug so.-Two bodies. bound hand and foot and lash. cd to the wheels of two automobiles were discovered yesterday sunk un- der eighteen feet of water in the Mis- souri river at 'Nearman, near here, They were found by Under Sheriff David Kepler of Wyandotte county, who. with staff of divers and tackle men,. started search of the river bed for murder victims,
 The search followed an anonymous note received by kepler recently, which stated that a mans body was lying on the river bottom tied to an automobile. Secret efforts by the of ncials and assistants failed to bring results, and today large party join cd in the hunt.
 Second Body Located.
 One body was found shortly after the work started. The motor car to which 1t was bound was brought up to within four feet of the surface but because of the strong tide work CTS had difficulty in keeping it from slipping back to the river bed again. Divers later reported having found the body of another man similarly tied to a machine at the bottom of the river. One man is said to be a negro.
 The murders are thought to be connected with. bandits activities in the vicinity of Bonner Springs, Kan, where Deputy Marshal Leroy Datnron was killed August 22 in fight with robbers of the Farmers State bank. Mir. Kepler said today he thought one Of the murdered men was a member of the band of bandits who killed Damron.
 There are between five and ten au- tomobiles lying at the bottom of the river there, divers reported to Mir Kepler, and endorsements Of men and tackle are on the way from this city to aid In the work of lifting the machines.
 Throngs Watch Search.
 The news of the mystery spread rapidly through the county and state and drew crowds of motorists .tha increased as the divers rose and made reports on their work. Throngs lined both banks of the Missouri and the river roads for miles about were pack | ed with automobiles of arriving curi- osity seekers.
 The murder spot is on the Kansas | side of the Missouri. It Is in the cen ter of a powerful eddy, and the rush. l ing tide severely handicaps the work | of investigators.
 MT. Kepler closely questioned the, divers after being informed that a | second body had been located. Then he telephoned a statement of the dis covery to the police here, declaring himself convinced that the men had not seen the same body twice, as had been his original theory

NAVAL PLIERS MAKE
 NEW WORLD RECORD
Show Wonderful Skill in Air Ma.
 chine Gun Target Practice

l Washington, Aug. BOA world s record with machine guns was made by naval flyers in the annual target practice of the air force of the Pa cific Fleet recently completed, ac- cording to report received by the Nayy Department yesterday from Capt H. V. Butler, commander of the aircraft squadron.
 Hitherto a hit every two seconds was considered excellent shooting with a fixed machine gun. Three of the naval flyers In the recent tests scored the phenomenal average of 123 hits in twentytwo' seconds This record was established by pilots of the fighting plane squadron.
 Vickers Guns Used.
 The machine guns used were :, of the Vickers type synchronized to fire through the propeller. These guns. are on fixed mounts and are aimed at The target by manoeuvring the plane.
 The record was made when firing at a sleeve target lowed by another airplane. So far as possible these aerial gunnery exercises are planned to stimulate actual combat conditions The attacking pilot manoeuvres just as he would if fighting a hostile plane.
 Individual Shooting.
 Lieut.. G, T. Cuddihy scored 145 hits in twenty-seven seconds. Lieut.. | I. Hewitt hit the target 137 times in | eighteen seconds and Lieut.. w. B. | Gwin landed eighty-seven hits in | twenty-one seconds, making the av- craze of l23 shots in twenty-five sec onds.
 So far as official records show, this machine gun firing has not been nqualled heretofore.
 The three flyers used a method of attack common in actual warfare. It Is to keep out of range of the enemy and then dive below at high speed, pulling up under the opposing plane. In this way the airplane above can lot use it's guns.
