 Not in my mind,' was the reply. You're going to reinstate him right away, aren't you?"
 I'm going to draw no diagrams for you" said the baseball commissioner. There's a telegram wire from New York to Chicago and another one from Chicago to New York. You've told me about Ruth's plans to use one of them. When I use the other one. I'll let you know at once.'
 The judge returned from Louisville today and found "a months work" as he expressed it, waiting for him. He had little chance to do any hard work. however, for he was kept busy all day answering queries about Babe Ruth.
 A moving picture concern wanted him to pose writing a telegram to Ruth reinstating minor denying re- instatement-while newspaper report CTS and baseball followers kept the commissioners office full and his tele- phone continually jingling.

POSSE HOT ON
 BANDITS TRAIL
Bandits Who Robbed Bank Messenger Fleeing With
 Pursuers at Heels

SPRINGFIELD, Mo, May 19.-(By the Associated Press. )-Hiding by day and travelling by night, pursued by Ozark woodsmen, militiamen ana peace officers, three of the five ban dits- who Monday took $20,500 from a bank messenger here have been mak- ing their way north all week, a posse on their heels. Today, Sheriff T. j.. Harris of Greene county, reported over the long distance telephone that the three men are believed to be near Bagnell, in Miller county, 75 miles northeast of here. They were seen at dawn, the sheriff said.
 But the bandits saw their pursuers almost as quickly as they were seen, and were back among the hills along the Osage river where Jesse James and his companions of a. generation ago were wont to take refuge when pursuit grew too hot And in spite of motor cars and airplanes pressed into service, much of this foothill country was inaccessible as in the days of Jesse James. High hills, thick woods, dense brush shut off pursuit and fur nish cover. Tonight, the sheriff be- lieves the three will again make an effort to reach the railroad.
 They did that last night, but the posse was there ahead of them and the bandits turned back. waiting an other chance to slip through the lines of their pursuers or get around the end"
 Five hundred dollars in silver was picked lp by the pursuers few hours after the robbery. It was too heavy and had been abandoned. A stolen motor car wa sabandoned.
 Time and again the bandits have been reported to be surrounded. and have slipped away; more than once they have been reported clear of pur- suit but the posse has picked up the trail again.
 Two bandits, believed to have gone west from here, are admitted to have escaped.

AZTEC, N. M., May 19.-Steve F. Katonka, charged with complieity in the murder of William Kelly and Sam Groy, Gallup. N. M., taxi driver, near Shiprock, July 31. 1921, was found guilty of murder in the first degree by a jury in the district court here today Judge Reed Holloman sentenced Ka- tonka to be hanged on June 16.
 Alice Katonka, the defendants re- puted wife, testified against him. The defense combatted this move on the part of the state, claiming that as she was the wife of the defendant she could not be compelled to testify. The state sprung a surprise by proving from records that the woman had mar ried a man by the name of Smith. pri- or to the time she went through a cer ,emony with Katonka, and although she had started suit for divorce. no decree had been granted.
 Mrs. Katonka, or Smith, testified that Katonka had forced her, at the point of a pistol, to shoot one of the two men while they were travelling by automobile northward from Gallup last summer; that she half tainted af- ter pulling the trigger; that she heard two shots, and upon regaining con- sciousness, found both men dead Ka- tonka, she said. then hid the bodies in an arroyo where they were found later.
 The couple were arrested at Pitts burg, Pa, several months ago.

UNCOvERS PLOT TO ROB ENTIRE
 MAIL SECTION Millions in Securities Was Goal of Daring Thieves
 Planning Raid SEVEN UNDER ARREST Asserts Arrests Will Clear Up Other Big Robberies of /
 Registered Mail
SEVEN UNDER ARREST

NEW YORK, May 19.-A gigantic pOstoffice holdup, surpassing in spec tacularity and daring any of the re- cent registered mail thefts of the mil. lion dollar and up class, would have been perpetrated at the City Hall post office tomorrow but for the keen work of a postoffice inspector, who grew bad mans beard. consorted with the plotters, and uncovered their scheme.
 This was the statement today of Postoffice Inspector Doran in making public the details of the arrest of sew en men-siX of them present or past postoffice employees. He asserted that their capture would clear up the reg istered mail thefts of July IS, when $1,477 ,000 in Liberty bonds bound for Washington, were stolen from the mails, would aid in solving hitherto undisclosed theft of $40,000 in secur- ities addressed to Waterttown, N. Y, and might go far toward clearing up the $2,000,000 mail truck holdup in Broadway last October.
 Plans had been falkland were to have been carried out in broad day light--for the holdup and robbing of the entire registered mail section of the Clty Hall station, through whict millions in securities flow daily flom the Wall street financial zone. Inspec- tor Doran said. Orders had been is- sued to shoot any employe who resist ed.
 The plotters had visited the City Hall station several times and made a. careful survey of the layout and nlanned their raid in great detail. h. deed. Inspector Doran said, they had gone to the station several weeks ago ready to "pull' the holdup, but had been deterred by the accidental pres ence of several inspectors, which had led them to fear their plot had been discovered.
 It was the imminence of the new date for the holdup that sent police and postoffice inspectors on round up campaign last night.
 The inspector who uncovered the plot with his bad man beard and ms plausible manner was one of 16 in spectors, it was said, who have bee' working their way for weeks into the confidence of the accused men-post- ing as boastful fellow mail bandits.
 The bearded man. it was said, sue ceeded in getting himself "counteo in" on the proposed City Hall holdup and talked it over in detail with the others in the supposed "den," which he had wired with telephonic devices.
 The seven captives taken last night were confronted with transcripts o' inc telephonic record early today i1 the presence of the bearded inspector and some are alleged to have con fessed.

BURCH CASE E
 GIVEN ID JURY
Alternate Juror Is Excused Jury Is Locked Up After ,
 Hours Deliberation

LOS ANGELES, May 19.-The case of Arthur C. Rurch, on trial for the murder of J. Belton Kennedy here August 5th last, was given to the jury at 4:50 this afternoon. A. Culberson, the alternate or 18th juror, was excused when the jury re- tired to the jury room. Upon being questioned, Culberson said if he had cast a vote it would have been for acquittal.
 The jury, which is composed of eight men and four women, deliberat- ed until 5:S5 D. m., then left for din- ner with instructions to return at ' D. m.
 Final arguments in the case were made today by Paul w. Schenck, chief defense attorney, and Asa Reyes, dep uty district attorney, after which Judge Sidney Reeve read instructions to the jury.
 Both attorneys devoted much of their time to the relations of Mrs Madalynne Obenchain, co-defendant in the case, with Burch and Kennedy. Schenck argued the evidence showed Mrs Obenchain had not been scorned by Kennedy, therefore no motive had been established for her to seek Burch's aid against him; Reyes de- clared letters read in evidence proved the contrary.

 z Other Students

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, May 19.-Ath- erton Kinsley Dunbar of Cambridge, fellow for research in cryogenic en- gineering at Harvard, and William Cornell of Cambridge, carpenter, were instantly killed late today by the explosion of tank of liquid oxy- gen in the basement of the Jefferson physical laboratory at Harvard.
 Paul Hoover, Newton Falls, Ohio, an assistant, and six other students, were injured.
 Dunbar, who was engaged in an ar my test experiment in liquifying oxy- gen, was blown to pieces. connell, who was working in an adjoining room was killed by the shock of the explos- ion.
 Dunbar was engaged in liquifying oxygen under pressure, using a com pressor.
 Graduatet students who had been as- sisting Dunbar in his experiments, ad' vanced the theory that the accident was due to a leakage of oil into the liquid oxygen tank.
 Dunbar had just recovered from i1- juries caused by a similar, though less powerful explosion, more than month ago. He returned to his duties only two weeks ago. According to men engaged in research with him, he was trying to work out cheaper pro cess for the manufacture of certain gases for commercial use, and also was Investigating vapor pressure Part of his work was experimentation for the United States government.
