NJ REPORT YET RECEIVED FROM
 DESERT REG|ON Observe Men Wandering Near Salome Road Being Sought by Party From Phoenix TO WITHDRAW PLANES Officer Commanding Search Doubts Whether Missing
 Men Will Be Found
TO WITHDRAW PLANES

PHOENIX, Dec. 16.-Ne word had been received up to nine o'clock to- night from Colonel Walter s. Ingalls, state adjutant general, who, with three companions started a search of the desert region approximately S5 miles west of here early this morning for two men seen wandering near the Phoenix-Salome road Thursday The search was ordered in the belief that the men might have been Colonel Marshall and Lieutenant Webber mis- sing aviators.
 Members of the searching party, men familiar with the region, were equipped with camp supplies and an nounced before leaving that they would spend two or three days in the desert if necessary.
 TUCSON. Ariz., Dec. 16.-Although a rumor was current today on the aviation field here to the effect that airplanes engaged in searching for Colonel Marshall and Lieutenant Web Der would soon be withdrawn, no con firmation was available from army officers as to the truth os the report. The two men have been missing the past ten days.
 Utter Encouragement prevailed to- night among all of the officers who are engaged in the search for the two missing aviators, and Colonel E. E. Winans, in command of the search, authorized the statement to night that he doubted whether the two men would ever be found.
 As the. search progresses, the pros poets for locating the two men grow constantly slighter, for new clues which are investigated are found tC be utterly unsbustantial while thu information on which searches have been working seems to become less trustworthy, and remains as fruitless as ever.

 lapsed to the floor and died within few moments.
 The slayer turned for flight, brs was immediately captured and beaten unmercifully. He was taken to the police station under exceptionally heavy guard.
 A council of ministers was hur- riedly called to examine the situation created by the death of the presi- dent. but their decision, if any was taken, has not been made known. In political circles it is said to be pos sible that Marshal Pilsudski former chief of staff, will assume the task of forming a cabinet. Another re- port is Pilsudski may even be in- vested with dictatorial powers.
 Pending a solution, and in conform ity with the constitution. the speaker of the house of deputies. Naciej Ra- tai will assume the duties Of the presidency, and his first act will be to convoke the national assembly to choose d successor to Narutowicz.

to those on the ship was when

At TEMPT MADE
To WRECK SANTA
f FAST TRAIN?
Chief of Police of AIva,
Okla, Leaves to InveSti-
gate a Story Told Him by
Local Carpenter

Alva, Okla, Dec. 20.-Chief of
Police Grant Farris, left here to-.
day to investigate the scene of
an alleged attempt to wreck a
fast passenger train on the Atchi-
son, Topeka and Santa Fe rail-
road, the account of which ri
vailed the widest movie thriller,
in which three bandits angered
at the interference of a wayfarer,
were declared to have bound the
Iinterloper to the rails and left
him to die.
The story was told to the chief
by c. b, Todd, a local carpenter,
who arrived on the train which
it was believed the bandits were
attempting to wreck. Chief Far
ris quoted Todd as saying that
when his motor car stalled near
the track last night, he went to
sleep in the rear seat only to be
awakened early today by three
men who demanded to know his
business. After learning of his
plight they departed down the
track, the chief said Todd told
him.
soon LIe SOuHu Ol udHllllel4llb
caused him to follow the trio, and
he found them apparently at
tempting to remove a rail. Chief
F'arris quotes Todd as saying he
demonstrated with the men,
whereupon they attacked him,
took his pocketbook containing
$50, and tied him across the
track. Then they left. Todd
worked several minutes to free
himself according to the officers
account of the conversation and
managed to roll his body from
the track just as the train hove
in sight. Todd has lived here sew
eral years and is well known. He
said he thought hee could identify
his assailapts.
