NEW HELIUM GAS
FIELD is FOUND

DEADWOOD, S. D., August %.
Foothills Of the Black Hills Of
South Dakota are offering the
latest hope that a supply of helium
gas is available near here for use
of the war and navy departments in
furthering experiments with lighter
than-air craft. This discovery was
made by DR.. Dorsey Lyons, assist.
ant director of the federal bureau
of mines, while Investigating the
possibility of treating ''blue ores"
cheaply enough so that their valu-
able metals may be extracted at a
profit.
Hasty analyses of gas taken from
wells driven near st. Onge and
Belle Fourche, S, d., showed it
odorless, impossible to ignite and
of a lower specific gravity than
ordinary illuminating gas, Dir.
Lyons said. Laboratory tests are
to be made to determine definitely
whether the gas is helium, and
whether it exists in sufficient ouan-
tlty to make development feasible

been no great matter, although he
did not fancy his environment. But
to any it was a prospect of unut-

there to serve her. She should have
been in Chicago before this; Ma
Mirgan ought to be getting the
nrst letters. In the absence OF
news, there would soon be panic at
the BARN.. Dad Morgan would be
rousing the county, or starting for
Chicago, or cunning for the Wreck,
or doing something else desperate
and foolish.
But there was fivvar wheel TO
be found, and neither of them had
even encountered a clue. They
! devoted part Of the morning to
Searching for it, and tried to be sy3-
tematic about it. Sally took the

WALESPREPARES
 FOR LONG STAY
Aides Kept Busy Refusing Gifts And Autograph
 Requests
lBy Associated Pressl

SYOSSETT, N. Y., Sept. 10.-on learning of the third postponement of the first of the international polo games today, the Prince of Wales settled down to the life of a country gentle man, made his first inspection of Long Island cattle and prepared to remain in the James A, Murden home for an- other week or 10 days if necessary to see the deciding game between the American and British polo teams.
 The prince played polo\ again today and later attended a luncheon at the home of Harrison Williams Motoring to the estate of J. P. Morgan this aft ernoon, the prince looked at the herd of Guernsey cattle. He is much inter ested in livestock and has had consid- erable experience in scattle breeding on his lands comprising the Duchy of Cornwall. Y
 The Wales party tonight attended a dinner and dance at the home of Will liam K. Vanderbilt, II. Reports that the prince would eliminate his Canadian trip were designated by Capt. A. F. Lascelles, his secretary, today as poppycock."
 The princes aides spend good deal of time sending back gifts shipped to the prince by commercial firms and in- dividuals. He has rule against re- ceiving presents from persons he does not know. He rejects, also, all requests for photographs or autographs, many of which are received from young women.

 No pause intervened either as the judge directed his clerk to distribute copies of the finding and ordered dep uty sheriffs to retire with the prison CTS.
 Judge Caverly was on his feet as this order was completed and headed for his chambers even as the final gavel fell on the court proceedings in the fa- nous case.
 Jailers fairly hustled Leopold and Loeb away. Nathan had no chance to pause before his- counsel but jam in an aisle permitted Loeb to fondle Clarence Darrow's arm momentarily.
 "Everybody out" called bailiff, but his admonition was not needed. At torneys broke through cordons of news paper interviewers, Allen Loeb hurried to a telephone to send the news to Charlevoix, AIich., where Richards father and mother are both ill and other members of the families passed rapidly into the corridors, entered wait ing elevators and hurried, to their au- tomobiles.
 Judge Caverly chatted with friend in his chambers, but refused to receive interviewers. After about three-quar- ters of an hour, he slipped away through the jury room and left the buildings so quickly that his going was not noticed by people on the street.
