BELIEVE AKRON CLUB
MAN KILLED BY YEGGS

AKRON, Ohio, Feb. 6.-Professional
divers were brought here today TO aid
police in searching for the body of
Russell l.. Palmer, Akron clubman,
thought to be under the ice of the
Gorge dam, where it was thrown fol-
lowing holdup and robbery, early to-
day. Attempts by city firemen to To-
cate the body through dragging and
dynamiting failed yesterday.
Palmer's car was found jammed
against the Gorge bridge railing early
yesterday Scattered keys and torn
clothing gave evidence of fight. A
l'oken windshield led police to be-
lieve that the robbers had hurled a
stone into the car to force Palmer to
stop.
A Jagged hole in the ice under the
bridge strengthened the theory that
the body had been thrown into the
river. Palmer was returning from the
Meadowbrook Country club of which
he was secretary with the proceeds of
a Saturday night dance.

Cardinal Achille Ratti, Archbishop
of Milan, was for several years Papal
Nuncio in Poland where his discharge
of important ecclesiastical functions
when the Polish question became
acute earned for him the esteem of
Benedict XIV and the gratitude of Vati-
can authorities. 1t was because of
this service that the red hat was con-
ferred upon him on June 16, 1921,
when a similar honor was bestowed
on Cardinal laurent.
Cardinal Ratti was born IN Desio,
Italy, Mar. 81, 1857. For many years he
was librarian of the Ambrosian library
and archives at Milan. Later he became
librarian of the Vatican. In this posi-
tion he remained until the. new repub-
lie of Poland established official diplo-
matte relations with the Vatican at
which time Ratti was appointed arch
