distribution here. The plan was said
to have been worked out in great
detail, and the rum runners expected
to reap a rich profit in few days,
and then disappear before federal
agents could locate them.
Federal agents had the names of
the men and could have arrested
them. They preferred, however, to
wait and catch them red-handed.
Accordingly, special agents were
sent to Norfolk, patrol boats were
put on the Potomac, and the pickets
who have for month been patroll-
ing all roads leading into Washing
ton were ordered to be unusually
alert to prevent passage of the rum
cargo.
Revenue cutters were rushed from
Baltimore to Norfolk, with guns
loaded, ready to shoot If the rum
fleet attempted to send whisky
ashore In motor launches. The rum
runners were said to have provided
themselves with a fleet of nearly a
dozen big, fast express cruisers. cap
able of running up the Potomac to
Washington in about half the time
regular passenger steamers take.
Plans Go Awry.
With both sides set, something
went wrong with the rum TuilHeIS
plans. Norfolk men who were sup
posed to help finance the deal and
who, also, according to information,
were to be made the goats" if any
thing went wrong, failed to put up
the money. The rum fleet was
frightened off by the revenue cutters.
Federal agents swooped down on d
Norfolk hotel, capturing two men
and a woman. They missed two
other men, said to be the brains of
the ring" These two were to have
met in Washington Friday to repair
their damaged plans. One of them
boarded the steamer at Norfolk
Thursday night, but he eluded police
here Friday morning. The other had
left a downtown hotel when officers
went to- question him..
Federal agents declared Saturday
not a bottle of the rum had leaked
into Washington and the prospects
are, they said, that the burning
sands" will be very dry.
Prohibition agents regard the cap
ture of William l.. Burwell, his wife
and Rex D. Sheldon the three held
at Norfolk, as important. Sheldon,
they said, is wanted In New York
city. All three are from New York.
Burwell, authorities here said, ad-
mitted that the rum running plans
had fallen through completely.

BITSOF CLAY NEW
CLUE IN MOUNT CASE
Probe Into Students Death Takes
Another Turn

CHICAGO, May 26-Two pieces of
clay found by workmen who ripped
up the floor of the Evanston pier
under which skeleton believed by
the authorities to be that of Leigh
ton Mount, missing Northwestern
university student was found, were
submitted to- a chemist for analysis
tonight by assistant states attorneys
directing the investigation of the
pier. The chemical analysis was or
dered in an effort to determine If
possible whence the clay came, the
authorities working on the theory
that the body may have been buried
and later exhumed and placed under
the pier where the skeleton was
found a month ago.
In addition to the clay small
bone. piece Ct leather and a scrap
of newspaper, dated March, 1928,
were found.
1t is only the clay that officials
place the most hope for a clue that
may solve Mounts mysterious dis
appearance. From it they deduct
that the skeleton may have had an
earlier grave than the rocky cav
ern.
Q. l.. Olestn, contractor and builder
of the pier, stated that along the
shore there was no soil similar to
that found He said at this point any
clay in the ground is at least is feet
below the surface.
The bone was little more than
two inches long, apparently part of
the right foot, which was not in
tact when the skeleton was taken
out. The scrap of leather locked to
be part of the sole of a shoe. The
bone was given to coroners physi-
clans who made a detailed examina
ton of the skeleton shortly after 1t
was found.

GIVES FORD CHANCE
Hearst Believes He Could BE Elected
President

NEW ORLEANS. May 26.-William
Randolph Hearst, publisher, today
predicted in an interview with the
States that Henry Ford could be
elected President of the United States
If left to the popular vote of the peo-
pie. Mr.. Hearst was here few hours
en- route to California via Fort Worth
Tex.
But the only way Ford can ever
run for president will be as an indie
pendent candidate" Mr.. Hearst said.
THE political machines Of both ma
tional parties, democratic and repub-
lican alike, are in the hands of old
line reactionaries. They may not be
able to nominate the man they want
but, they can prevent the nomination
of the man they do not want-and
that man Is Henry Ford.
Il believe the republican party will
so down to the most decisive defeat
in its history in the coming presi-
Dental election. The fso-called for
eign policy of that party will be re-
sponsible for it's defeat. l am unalt-
erably opposed to the entry Of the
United States into the League OF Ma
lions or to the World Court. which Is
nothing but stepping stone to the
league"

LONDON, May 26.-Wheat manipu-

and Australia are planning world
wide wheat corner, which will enable
them to dole out wheat at famine
prices for the next five years, accord
ing to the Sydney, New South Wales.
correspondent of the London Daily
Herald.
Operatives of the gigantic syndi-
cate have just completed surveys of
the wheat growing regions of the
world and under the guise of assist
ing farmers to obtain a fair price for
their produce are scheming to bring
about a situation which will remove
bread from the table of workers
throughout the world, the paper de-
clares.
This plan Is being put into opera
ton by powerful wheat buying cor
porations in Canada, Australia and
the United States" the Herald says.
"by means of complete system OF
or Eanizatione which is ready to begin
operation at moments notice.
ION the plea that the interests OF
the farmers must be preserved and
that the producer should receive an
adequate return for his labor, the
plotters are endeavoring to make GER
tain of obtaining a huge rake-off Tor
themselves and their friends.
"Details of the wheat corner are
being kept as secret as possible.

roads-but is silent as to the form
such control should take. His
friends believe he will declare for
public ownership and operation. But
McAdoo. himself, has given no in
timation. His last definite proposal
was for a five-year test period Of
government operation-under peace
time conditions. He suggested this
to Congress just before he retired
from the cabinet, and before the
roads passed back from wartime
government control to their owners.
Great Problem Ahead.
McAdoo believes that the railroad
question is the greatest problem
ahead Transportation is the one
factor that limits business enterprise
now, in his opinion. The railroads
have been unable to meet the demand,
for quick and cheap transportation.
That problem solved there can then
be another forward advance for
business comparable to that made
when when the federal reserve sys-
TEN was devised to remove the rigid
ity of the country's credit banking
machinery.
McAdoo is building his campaign
plans around this issue. 1t is the
issue in which La Toilette is con-
centrating through such means az
his Chicago conference. McAaoo may
profit directly by the dissatisfaction
that LaFollette stirs up, especially
if the republican progressives are
unable to get their railroad legisla-
ton through Congress at the next
session.
Henry Ford is also prepared to
take advantage of the railroad issue.
His experience with the Detroit, To-
ledo and Ironton railroad will speak
for itself. Ford took this road when
it was almost junk and has placed
it on a paying basis.
McAdoo. Ford, and a host of other
progressive democrats are watching
the LaFollette group with every
hope of picking off large droves Of
followers and leading them into the
democratic enclosure, next year.

POLITICAL MOTIVE SEEN

Man Arrested Denies He Is

BY FRIEDRICH G.. NEUMEIER
(By Lensed Wire to The Age-Herald)


MEXICO CITY, May 26.-With the
recognition conference" proceeding
favorably, police Saturday night an
nounced arrest of man suspected
of setting off a bomb under the
American consulate in an effort to
embarrass the negotiations. The
prisoner gave the name of Meardo
Lopez, 26. The bomb was exploded
several days ago.
Delegates to the conference were
vacating at Cuernavaca over the
weekend. There appears to be in
creasing talk about legislative guar
antees for commercial enterprises in
Mexico, as a basis of recognition of
the Obregon government by the
United States. Recognition seems
foregone conclusion in the opinion
of some observers. 1t is reported that
agreement on the principle that there
should be no reform In existing Mexi-
can laws had already been reached
before the American commissioners
left Washington.
O O o
Denies His Guilt.
Lopez denied his guilt, but re-
fused to comment on the affairs.
The arrest was made under direction
of Chief of Detective Quintana at
Guadalajara, and the prisoner was
brought here. Lopez, according to
Quintana, was seen entering the
building at 1880 the night of the
explosion. Quintana believes the
bomb, which exploded at 2;30 a. m.
was set off from inside in an effort
to embarrass the Obregon regime
during the recognition proceedings.
He charges that lopez is a revolu-
zionist working under direction of a
revolutionary Junta with head
quarters at San Antonio, Texas.
Lopez. who speaks good English,
says he was in Ell Paso for a long
time. and later resided in South
America. He came here from the
United States and registered at the
Jones. saying he was connected with
More arrests are to follow, accord
ing to police.
SmugGle Munitions.
The authorities allege Lopez for
mer ly struggled munitions into Mexi-
co from the United States In an
airplane, making three such trips.
He was arrested in Nogales, Sonora.
and condemned to death. but es-
capped to the American side.
Considerable discussion was caus-
ed today by the arrival of a copy
of the Nation. which carried an ar.
ticle by Ernest Prenning, writer and
an inmate of President Obregon and
other Mexican officials, casting
doubt on the success Of the confer
ence.
Il come to Mexico believing firmly
in recognition-he stated in part.
To-day I think otherwise"
