Told by Alleged Witness to
Double Killing.
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
ATLANTA, Ga, September 5.-A
force of convicts began digging on the
banks of the Chattahoochee River
near Bolton today in an effort to find
traces of the bodies Of two unidentified
women, who w. C. Paris of New Hol-
land says he saw murdered and their
bodies buried there in the Summer of
1920.
The investigation ordered by Solici-
tor General John A. Boykin follows
the story Paris told Atlanta authori-
ties yesterday that he was an un-
willing witness to the alleged murder
and had been threatened with death
himself if he did not keep quiet"
Paris declares the two women were
murdered, their bodies dismembered
and buried with acid to remove trace
of the crime The belief was expressed
here that if the murder was committed
fragments of bone would be found in
the ground even though acid was used.

CALDWELL, Ohio, September s.
The much sought paragraph and rec
ords from the Shenandoah have been
found and may aid the naval authorl-
ties in determining the cause of the
smashup. The paragraph was located
at Cambridge. and the log sheets
therefrom a short distance away.
They were in the hands of souvenir
seekers.
The authorities have not had time
as yet to check up the reading on
the paragraph records.
The record is to be photographed
and enlarged so that the authorities
can more easily determine the alti-
tude during the storm and before the
storm.
Capt. Steele i'm Probe.
Capt. George Washington Steele
jr., commanding officer of the Lake
hurst naval station, arrived here at
S:55 am. He Immediately set out
with Comdr. Jacob IL. Klein and other
Lakehurst officials to visit the scene
of the wreck at Ava and Sharon.
The paragraph record will show air
pressure, atmospheric moisture and
temperature. From the graph drawn
on the automatic drum by a moving
stylus, it will be possible also to COM
pute how rapidly the Shenandoah rose
in the buffeting of the storm before
the buckling amidships occurred.
If found necessary, Capt. Steele and
the other Lakehurst officials will fol-
low overland the path taken by the
drifting PROV of the ship, after it left
the aft portion. they said as they de-
parted Should they follow that
course, they will be obliged to climb
hills and cross ravines. Most of the

Crew Back on Duty. ,

Most of the survivors of the disaster
are back on duty at the naval air sta

stories of the ship being wrung in a
sudden storm like a dry cornstalk and
how they saved themselves by clinging
to girders and jumping to the ground
at opportune times.
Mrs. Zachary Lansdowne, widow of
the commander of the Shenandoah, h,
now says she was misunderstood in
statements credited to her that the
airship was sent on a trip for political
purposes over protests her husband
had made because of his intimate
knowledge of Ohio storms. Secretary
Wilbur has explained that the com.
mander fixed the time for the flight.

of German dirigible and construc-

he considered the tornado region of

opinion of the official investigators
is that when the radio and control

Fading Hopes Revived BY Word of

and larger rescue efforts are being
put forth by naval forces in this dis
trict in the search for the missing
seaplane PN-9, No. 1, which diSap-
peared nearly 90 hours ago some
where on the broad Pacific, not many
miles from the Hawaiian Islands.
Faint hopes for the safety of Comdr.
John Rodgers and his four compan-
ions were aroused when the tender
Whippoorwill reported that three
widely separated flares had been seen
on Tuesday night.
A naval scout plane piloted by
Lieut.. Peterson was forced down yes
terday off the coast of the Island of
Kauai. The identity of the plane was
unknown for many hours and led to
a report that it was probably the
missing PN-9, No. /. This was cor
rected by Navy officers last night
when they identified the Peterson
plane.
Not Reported by Navy.
As Lieut.. Peterson was able to
make effective repair and take the
air, leaving his towing sampan, Navy
officials considered the incident 50
slight that it was not then reported
to the press.
Surface ships, submarines and air
planes are pressing an intensive
search. A submarine screen, after
covering hundreds of square miles
without sighting the missing plane
or any wreckage, is proceeding south
ward in the belief that the plane may
have drifted in that direction.

Eighteen more destroyers are

AMERICAN FOREST WEEK

The proclamation of Governor
Richie calling attention to American
Forest Week, April 27-May 8, should
have great appeal to all Mary
ianders. He brings out in this pro-
,lamation the rate at which we are
using up the timber in our State,
and the rate at which it is being
grown. He further points out in his
proclamation that the consumption is
~ times the yearly growth, which
means the importation from outside
sources of As Of the lumber used.
The Governor concludes that the
woodlands of the State are sufficient,
II properly conserved and managed,
to produce all the wood and timber
needed for local use.
Imam interview with r. B. Homer.
resident of the Baltimore Lumber
exchange, he points out this very
act and states that the nations of
Europe get along on approximately
20 feet of lumber per capita, while
NE united states uses 800 feet
Ter capita. 1t is because OF the
imber that we have had that the
United States has gotten to the posi-
ton in which she is.
Mr.. Swepson Earle, Commissioner
OF Conservation; Mr.. E.. Lee Le-
Compile, State Game Warden, and
Mr.. M. E. Towner, President OF the
Baltimore Chapter of the Izaak
Walton League, all urge the people
of Maryland. especially those who
are interested in hunting or fishing,
to conserve the forests. These three
men, in interviews, point out the
damage which is being done to the
wild life and fish of the State by the
present destructive handling OF
woodlands. All these men urge that
the people of the State do every
thing they can to help the Maryland
State Department of Forestry pre-
serve the woodlands from fire and
ruthless destruction not only this
week. but all the time.

FLIES
pril (wintered over female)

(These flies placed end to end
would circle the world $50 times.)
When the excitement over the
slaughter had subsidized, it was found
that several classics had been col
lected and duly cherished by these
ardent fly fighters. Some OF the
choicest are, given below. The
first originated in the department
and was as follows:
There was man in our town..
And he was wondrous wise:
He covered up his garbage pals,
To keep away the fiies.'
This served as the text, for pos
ter showing the wise old man with
his fly proof garbage pail. Copies
OF the poster may be had by writing
to the State Department OF Health
16 West Saratoga Street, Baltimore.
Number came from Lancashire,
England. Here it is
I" Straight from the rubbish heap
come;
/ never wash my feet,
And every single chance l get
walk on what you eat"
The third came from the Okla
homa Health News, confirming the
computations referred to above, and
gave this advice:
g Every fly that skips our
swatters,
Will have five million sons and
daughters,
And countless first and second
+ cousins;
OF aunts and uncles scores and
dozens,
And fifty-seven million nieces,
So knock the blame thing all
to pieces"
DIR. Fulton, the Director OF the
State Department of Health, urges
the use of the most strenuous meas
ures possible, against all enemies OF
personal and community health, to
which class the fly belongs. Here is
his advise "The fly breeds in filth
and feeds on filth, decaying vegeta-
ton, human excreta, and putrefying
animal matter. Its favorite breed
ing spot Is the manure pile. 1t
flies from filth to food. 1t spreads
tuberculosis, typhoid. dysentery and
other diseases. 1t is no respecter OF
persons 1t carries infection to
children and grown-ups with equal
.mpartiality.
The time to get rid OF flies is
now, before they begin to multiply.
Clean up the manure piles and all
other places where garbage or putre-
flying waste collects. Screen your
houses and your out-houses. and
swat each fly that comes your way"
