Snyder, local contractor, led late
yesterday to the discovery Of the
bodies of Harry B. Proctor, SO,

year-old Edna Fullager, buried in
the mud of Grand river, three blocks

communicated with officials and
made a sketch of the place where
the automobile in which the two
were last seen might be found.
Thirty minutes after officers began
to drag the river the car was found
and the bodies of the two for whom
a nation wide search had been made
were recovered shortly afterward.
Proctor, according to reports to Of
f1cials, called at the Fullager home
the night of October 80. He had sold
q home to Mrs. Fullager. He said

to drive his car and the Fullager girl
finally consented to drive him home.
That was the last seen of them,
Later a warrant charging abduction

INSURANCE COMPANIES PUT BAN ON BooTLEGGER POLICIES

PITTSBUGH, May 15 While the regularly constituted authorities are experiencing some difficulty in locating wealthy bootleggers, im- portant life insurance interests say they are finding them with compar- ative ease and, because of the moral hazard" involved, are refus- ing to insure their lives.
 Men who a few years ago were glad to carry policies covering from s5O,OOO to slOo,OO0, and in some instances in excess of the latter amount. Unless they are well known and have a high business: standing they are carefully investigated, and if there is any suspicion as to the source of their incomes. they are rejected, it matters not how good a physical risk the examining physici- ans decide they may be.
 Within the past few weeks one applicant who wanted a policy of s50,000 was rejected on the ground that he was not a good moral hazard, and a little later an applic- ant who wanted insurance to the amount of s100,000 was told he could not have it. Other applicants from bootleggers have gone the same way. they say.
 We count the moral hazard as something worth while said an insurance authority, discussing the business offere his company by bootleggers. We feel we cannot afford to take on men of this kind and rather than compromise morals, we refuse all such applications. How do we know they are bootleggers When We see a man grow suddenly rich, without any visible means, we are suspicious, and little investiga- tion usually tells us whether we are right or wrong. It might be difficult for us to prove it in court, but we prove II to our own satisfaction, with a reasonable mental margin of safety"

THOUSANDS OF AUSTRIANS

VIENNA, ay l5-Austrian emil grafton which was almost neglible during the greater part of the world war, is reviving rapidly, and one after the other all the steamship agencies formerly represented in the "Austro- ro-Hungarian" capital are re- opening their doors for business. The lack of funds for rail and ocean travel alone is forcibly staying a rush from Austria on a huge scale.
 Asked what had stimulated this emigration fever, the secretary of an important trades guild said it could be summed up in one word, despair" Young and old, trained and untrained," he said, males and female>, want to get away, and the sooner the better" The opportunity 10 get away, 1 am told, is not taken advantage of by those for whom there is room in the United States and South America, namely, agricul- tural laborers, miners and the like.
 The people eager 10 quit the country are the retired officers of the former Austro-Hungarian army, civil servants, skilled factory hands, and thousand upon thousand of young women of good class who filled the posts of their male rela- tives in commercial and government tai offices and stores during the war.

SUCCESSFUL FOX FARMER

N. E. Bolshanin, of Unalaska who for the past twenty years has been deputy collector of customs al that point, started a fox farm in the vicinity of that settlement in the year 1916. As a beginning, says the Alaska Weekly, he had three pair of blue foxes. As an indication of the increase in breeding and the profit in the business, Mir. Bolshanin, in 1921, sold 172 fine pelts; in 1922, he sold 152 pelts and sold ten pair foxes at $500 per pair to the other farmers, retaining twenty pair for breeding purposes.
 E. H. Larson, also of Unalaska, had about the same successful ex- perience as Mir. Bolshanin.
