After some fast swimming, with

The two bootleggers placed their

one bladder with two gallons of mes

seven pints of cognac and five bot

Officers watched the men strip,

bootleggers saw the officers, and de-

the officers.
Those in the party of officers were
Customs Inspectors VIM. Shears, R. L.

about 20 shots in order to speed the

officers arrived soon after, being
called by persons hearing the shots,
and believing that another revolution
had been started.

Investigators Determine
Giant Ship Broke in
Two Parts Before Fa-

(By the Associated Pressl

CALDWELL, Ohio, Sept st was
definitely determined today that the
giant dirigibe Shenandoah buckled in
md-air and separated in parts before
falling to the ground.
~ Witnesses Of the accident told their
stories officially today to the board of
investigation headed by Captain George
Washington Steele, Jr., commander Of
the Lakehurst naval air station, who
arrived this morning.
Four Of the five witnesses examined
told of seeing the "daughter of the
stars F" buckle and hump in the middle
and separate into two sections. A fifth
said it appeared to him that the Shenan-
doah sagged in the center and separ-
ated.. There was no testimony to sub
stantiate reports that the dirigible
struck the ground or trees before break

Meanwhile the bodies of the II victims
are on the way for burial in heroes
graves at the Arlington national ceme-
terry or to the homes of relatives
Comment on the cause of the disaster
is world wide, as are expressions Of
sympathy and speculation as to the
future of dirigibles. President Coolidge
has let it be known that he assumes the
navy will want to build new dirigible
for military purposes. Secretary Wilbur
has his doubts about the building of a
new ship, however, indicating that it de,
pends upon the navy budget.
Most Of the survivors of the disaster

that the commander fixed the time for
the flight.
Captain Anton Heinen, formerly pilot

adviser in the building of the Shenan-

Investigators is that when the radio and
control cabin were wrenched loose by
the storm holes were torn in the hull
and the ensuing rush of air caused the

the missing seaplane PN-9 No. /, which

A naval scout plane, piloted by Lieut.

BLACK SEXES
WRONG Child
INNEW JERSEY
Police Believe Effort
Was Directed Against
Daughter of Banker
Who Still is Safe
CIV The Associated Press.)

MONTCLAIR, N. j., Sept. Is
Posses today intensified their
search for a little white girl kid
naped by a negro who presum-
ably killed another negro in or
der to get an automobile for the
abduction.
Apparently having planned to
kidnap the niece of a wealthy
banker, the fugitive seems to
have found that he abducted the
wrong girl.
The kidnapping plot, police believe,
was aimed aginst Joseph A. Bower, vice
president of the New York Trust COM
pany, whose seven year old niece, Dor
othy Coates was visiting him. Instead
the negro grabbed Mary Daily, six,
daughter of David s. Daily, hardware
merchant who was playing in front of
the Bower home yesterday afternoon.
BY the license plates on the abduct-
or's automobile police suspected Ray
hiond Pierce, a negro chauffeur, who
had borrowed the car. But Pierce's
body was found last night crammed in a
cufvert at Cedar Grove with a bullet
hole in his head. Medical examiners
said he had been killed four hours be-
fore the kidnapping. The assumption is
that ne was killed by the kidnaper in
order to get the car.
Last night Mrs. Bower was called on
the telephone by man who demanded
$4,000 for the return of her niece. But
her niece was safe in bed at the time.
The man hung up when Mrs. Bowers
asked his name. Mary Daily and Dor
othy Coates look very much alike.
The kidnaper drove up to the Bower
home in sedan and grabbed Mary
from several of her playmates. He
sped away, choking the girls screams
with one hand and driving with the
other. John Sandin, the Bower chauf-
feur, gave case, picking up two friends
on the way. For ten miles the two cars
dashed through the Jersey suburbs of
New York. Between Little Falls and
West Paterson, Sandin crowded the
fugitive car toward the curb and the
negro fired. The shot crashed through
the windshield and hit Sandin in the
head. One of his friends jumped to the
wheel and started the chase anew but
when Sandin slumped unconscious in
the seat, they took him to hospital.
