they saw Wolfe and a man resem-
bling the description Of Anderson in
Yorktown a short time after the
murders.
Police Chief Randolph said several
new witnesses had strengthened the
case against Wolfe. 1t was indicated
a grand jury Indictment against him
would be sought after the inquest.
Victims Buried
In a little country cemetery near
their small farm home, Hance and
his wife were buried this afternoon.
The mystery of the red car which
stopped near the scene of the shoot
ing has been solved to the salts
faction of local police who say it
was occupied by an Indianapolis at
torney and his two sons. The lawyer,
police say, is afraid Of vengeance Of
the gang and will not make known
his identity.
While some of the Investigators
said Anderson still might be in
Muncie, this belief was discredited
because of the thorough manner in
which the city has been searched.
Numerous reports that Anderson
has been sighted in Indiana cities
or adjoining States have caused re-
newed excitement, but all failed to
bring any tangible clew to the hiding
place of the master murder.
Another angle was injected when
Harvey Wagner. insurance man of
Ind, told authorities three
men forced him at the point Of
revolver to drive them to Cincinnati,
Ohio, Saturday night.

last two hours she was buffeted by
heavy seas and made progress only
with the greatest difficulty.
The American girl had been in
the cold waters about eight hours
and 48 minutes when she was taken
aboard the tug La Norma on which
her trainer and friends had accom-
panied, her.
When the swirling channel tides
and choppy sea, coupled with the
impossibility of completing her task
forced the American girl to give up,
she had covered a course of about
thirty kilometers and was about
twelve kilometers, or approximately
seven miles off the English coast.

blew up at a rate Of more than four
yards per second.
Breaks One Record
Starting with q confident rush. her
graceful body cleaving the water
under the impetus of a powerful
crawl stroke, the swimmer had bro
ken a record for channel swimming
before she had been out half an hour
from Cape. Gris-Nex.
Inside the first half-hour after
her start from the rocks of northern
France, she had covered mile of
her journey to the English coast.
In the first hour Miss Ederle had
covered three miles and her trainer,
Jabez Wolfe, was cautioning her
from the tug, mot so fast, not so
fast"
An airplane from Paris fluttered
overhead and dropped a message of
encouragement to the swimmer to
the deck Of the official tug which
was conveyed to her in the water.
Now and then one of the party
of swimmers aboard the tug would
slide over the side to join her in
the water. Miss Elsie Viets, the
Official chaperon, led a three piece
jazz orchestra in gay tunes of which
the swimmer is so fond.
Departure Picturesque
Once, after she had been swim
ming two hours she rested and ac-
copied some beef broth. She was
laughing and confident behind her
goggles and coat of grease.
Her departure, in high spirits to
conquer the channel, was pictut
esque in the extreme. The sun rose

FARMERS PAY FOURTH
OF TRUNK ROAD BILL

Minnesota farmers are paying
about one-fourth of the cost of i'm
proving and maintaining the heavy
traffic roads throughout the state.
The balance of trunk highway or
Babcock road funds come entirely
from taxes on motor vehicles owned
in the cities and villages from fed
eral highway aid.
The fact is outlined in a current
highway bulletin which says:
Minnesota's good roads plan is
generally credited with effecting the
fairest possible distribution of road
building and upkelep expense, and
favors the farmers, if any class of
road users.
Motor vehicle owners are fur
nishing every dollar taxed for the
state trunk highways, which carry
four out of five road users in the
state. Considerably more than half
the auto and truck taxes are paid
by owners living in the cities and
villages. About fifth of the trunk
highway income is from federal aid.
So the, auto and truck owning farm
ers, making the only contribution
from the farms, are paying about
fourth of the total-getting the
main country roads built and main
tanned at cost to themselves of 25
cents on the dollar.
The new plan affords benefits to
farmers located o county and town
ship roads as well as those on the
trunk routes. Transfer to the state
of the main roads, which had been
taking 80 per cent of county road
and bridge money, left much larger
sums for betterments on county and
township roads.
Only the motor vehicle owners
pay any taxes for trunk highway
purposes. If he owns an automobile
or truck, the farmer on the county
or town road pays toward the trunk
highway fund. But the tax on his
machine is less than it was under
the old personal property tax law.
On the other hand, farmers on
trunk highways pay several times
as much in county and township
road taxes, all of which are used on
local roads.
incidentally, as is generally
known, car and truck owners Of
Hennepin, Ramsey and st. Louis
counties pay AZ per cent of the
motor vehicle taxes, but not one dol
lar of the money is used in the cities
of Minneapolis. st. Paul or Duluth.
A strange fact, the bulletin adds,
is that the farmers of the state have
voted against all good roads pro-
posals, although they have benefit
ted more than the city people and
have paid tbs small share of the ex-
penditures. The farmers voted against

GOLD MEDAL STATION TO
BROADCAST INAUGURATION

For the first time in history the
inauguration of a President viii be
broadcast by radio, when on the
morning of March 4th all America
will tune in.
The Gold Medal Station, WCCO,
is included in a list of twelve out
standing radio stations over the
country which win broadcast the
ceremony and inaugural address of
President Coolidge. The hour is
sst for 1920 A. NJ, Central Stand
ard Time, and it is expected that
the program will last approximately
two hours. Preceding the start of
the ceremonies, the Gold Medal
Station will broadcast patriotic or
gan music from the State Theatef,
Minneapolis.
Every school child in the Twin
Cities, ITO, 900 of them, win hear
the ceremonies right in school, as
both public and parochial school
authorities in st. Paul and Mime
apolis have agreed to suspend
classes during the ceremonies. The
Northwest Radio Trade Association
has agreed through it's members to
provide, install and supervise the
operation of receiving sets in every
school in the Twin Cities, over 200
in ALL
With the announcement made
through the press that WCCO would
participate in the broadcast, flood
of letters from all over the North
wsst started pouring into the Sta
ton, asking for complete details.
Among Them are a number from
public school authorities who see in
this event an opportunity to instill
in the heartsof young America the
significance of a Presidential inaug-
uration.
1t is expected that public gather
ings will be held all over the North
west during the ceremonies, where
paople by means of radio receiving
sets may hear the solemn ceremony
of inducting President Coolidge into
the highest Office within the gift Ct
the American people.
In homes, stores. factories, school
houses, churches, theaters and other
public places all over the Northwest
will be gathered the largest audience
thaG mas ever IStened to the radio.
The problem of carrying the cere
monies by direct telephone wires TO
WCCO requires engineering skill of
this highest type and the arrange
ment of special facilities all along
the 1900 miles that the sounds must
travel over the wire to the new
5000 Watt Sending Station of
WCCO, the completion of which has
been rushed to insure to the North
west an equal opportunity with the
east to participate in this great
event. 1t is expected that with the
increased power of the new Station,
which swings into action on that
day, that all portions of the North
west will receive the program clear
