CONTINUE "DEATH" PROBE
Lincoln Mystery Declared by Coroner
To BE Hoax

AURORA, Ill, May 3.-The exami
nation of bloody nightgown and cap
of Warren j. Lincoln, missing Au-
rora attorney, in which the back of
the cap was found to be saturated
with blood, whereas all the stains on
the nightshirt were on the front,
today led Coroner Eugene Norton, of
Kane county, and DR.. j. w. Dryer,
Aurora physician, to brand the case
as a hoax.
They pointed out that blood stains
also would be found on the back of
the nightshirt, had Lincoln been
beaten on his head with an Indian
club, as police and other investiga-
tors have believed the missing attor-
ney was slain.
Other circumstances also indicate
that Lincoln has not been Slain, they
said,
The hunt for Lncoln's body, how
ever, was renewed at daybreak today
and continued throughout the day.
A deserted factory building one-half
mile south of the bloody bungalow"
on the Flower farm near Aurora was
searched carefully.
The searchers directed their hunt
tc the factory building and its nearby
regions when woman living nea-
the Lincoln bungalow said she saw
an automobile come from the direc-
ton of the bungalow at O'Clock
Monday morning. She told police she
heard the two persons in the machine
argue in loud tones and then speed
away in the direction of the factory
building.
Investigators beat down the high
brush and weeds which partially hid
the deserted building from sight, on
the theory that Lincoln's body may
have been in the tonneau of the
machine and hidden near the build
ing. Old cisterns near the building
also were searched without result.

FAVORS DRY SHIPS
Graham To Introduce Bill In Next
Session of Congress

WASHINGTON, May 3.-Repre-
sentative Graham of Illinois. can
didate for republican leadership In
the next House. announced today
that as soon as Congress convenes
in December he would introduce
bill to prohibit American ships from
carrying and serving liquor to pas
sengers at any time. In formal
statement the Illinois representative
discussed the supreme courts de-
cision which held there is no legal
bar to domestic vessels carrying
liquor when outside American terri
torial waters. Commenting on the
part of the decision which said Con-
gress, If it saw fit, could extend the
ban, so far as American ships are
concerned, to the high seas, he de-
clared:
There is no reason why Congress
should not want to. and ! shall IN
troduce a bill to accomplish that
purpose in the first session or the
sixty eighth Congress when 1t meets
in December. II we are going to be
dry. let's be dry. | can see no sense
in being dry for three miles and not
5000. So long as the eighteenth
amendment is valid let's not play at
its enforcement.

RES|GMA T|0N Of
GOVERNMENT HEAD
IS NOW EXPECTED
Panic Comes In Berlin Money
Market And Marks
Drop

BERLIN, May 3.-The government
of Chancellor Cuno, unable to make
peace with the Franco-Belgians in
theRuhr, is tottering, according to all
indications. 1t is anticipated that
Cuno will resign as soon as the
French and Belgian governments dis
patch him their formal rejection of
Germanys thirty billion gold mark
reparations offer which was made
Wednesday.
In case Cuno resigns, it is ex-
pected that President Ebert will ask
him to at least go through the mo-
tons of forming a new regime with
DR.. Hugo Stresseman as foreign min
lister in the place OF the present in
cumbent, Baron Won Rosenberg, and
with the inclusion of socialists in
big coalition"
Stresseman has long been an ad-
vocate of an understanding" with
the French, but is is questionable
whether he will be able to make
more liberal offer than Cuno's in
view of the present temper of the
country.
Socialist Demands.
Undoubtedly the socialists will de-
mand that the door be kept open for
negotiations but looming against the
demand is the buga-boo of the
Bavarian Fascist, led by Adolph
Hitler, who, accordlnG TO the
average German, are ready to spring
a coup against the present republi-
can regime in an effort to form .
monarchy.
The first outward result of the
Franco Belgian rejection of the
German reparations offer was
tremendous slump in the mark.
Marks dropped on the bourse Thurs
day to 10000 to the American dollar.
a decline of 5000 since Wednesday.
There was a panic on the bourse
where, admist the deafening cries of
the traders, chalkers marked only
plus .igns on the books. While the
dollar scared. all other stocks moved
sympathetically, owing in some
cases thousands of points. The
Reichs bank seemed impotent to halt
the slump or unwilling to dump its
thin supply of foreign currency into
the malestrom in an effort to stem
the chaotic trading.

FARMS ARE Threatened
Frantic kilograms Are Sent Out BY
Kentucky Land Owners

NASHVILLE, Tenn, May 3.-While
armed guards are keeping watch
over the spillway that controls the
outlet from Reelfoot lake, near the
Kentucky border in west Tennessee,
state engineers are hurrying to the
scene to probe the roprt from Ken
lucky farmholders that the waters
are backing up over their lands and
threatening to ruin thousands OF
acres.
Scores of frantic kilograms from
land owners near Hickman, KY.
where the lake juts into Kentucky,
were received by Governor Peay
today.
His first order was to the game
wardens at the lake to see that no
damage was done to the spillway on
the Tennessee side. 1t is said by en-
e!neers that the destruction of this
spillway, which has been threatened
by some Kentuckians, would mum
date a wide area of Tennessee farm
lands.
Governor Peay was advised by the
: states attorney general today that
he is without power to order the
dynamting of the spillway to re-
lieve the Kentuckians, even if he so
desired

Mr.. Harrison invited the attention

size In this matter and that it was a
subject that should be of interest to

made for the parks the city needs.
he said, but this work would be
taken up at once and an effort made
to gain from the legislature per-
mission to create park board as the
first fundamental step toward the
realization of a comprehensive park

mitted to the Legislature in July.
The speaker concluded by saying he

Hebeas Corpus Writ Saves Noun
taineer From Death Today

LITTLE ROCK, Ark, May 3.-For
the third time Herbert Sease, Baxter
county mountaineer, has been saved
from the electric chair at the lost
moment by the action of the courts.
Sease, who was to go to the death
chair tomorrow morning, today was
given stay of execution by order
of Judge Jacob Trieber in United
States district court, until a hearing,
May IA. on writ of habeas corpus.
Attorney General Uttley, represent
ing the state, was given until to-
morrow to file a response to the pc
tition for the writ, which was filed by
Sease's attorneys yesterday.
Sease was convicted of the murder
of r. II. Davidson, farmer, early in
1922, and the date of execution was
set for August 10. The governor
granted reprieve pending an APP
peal, but the supreme court affirmed
the sentence. The date of execution
was Sc. for December is, and three
days before this date the courts ord
cred an investigation to determine
Sease's sanity. He was declared sane
and the supreme court also upheld
this finding. The third date of ex
ecution then was set.
The petition for the writ of habeas
corpus charged that Sease was not
given a fair trial because of the al
