 A panel of 34 prospective grand jurors was drawn yesterday, and this will be reduced to B before the body convenes.

 After four years of silence Ralph V. M. Gorsline, vestryman, and Catherine Rastall, choir singer in the slain rector's church, have dis ClOSe0 that they were Nlllllli opp feet of the staying and heard the four fatal shots.
 Investigators today sought to learn if these two new witnesses could verify Mrs. Gibson's identif1- cation of Mrs. Hall, Willie Stevens, her brother and Henry Carpenter as present at the staying. Yesterday the vestryman, who Is married and Miss Rastall said they were parked in the lane only 10 or IS minutes. and left after they heard voices and shooting.
 Two days later after the bodies were found Gorsline said to her: If I had turned my spotlight on them we might have seen something"
 They agreed, they said yesterday. to say nothing of their experience | bcause as Gosline explained 1t: T didn't know it had any value for the state." On advice of her pastor, pr. Halls successor, the girl recently changed her name.

 WORK FIVE YEARS
Will Spend Time Hunting
 Relics of NOrSelnen

Christmas Cove, Me, Sept. II Pl- Lieutenant Commander Donald B.
 MacMillan, arctic explorer, has de-
 clined to give up his work in the | frozen north for exploration in the balmy warmth of the South seas. For the next five years he will be engaged in an attempt to gain
 definite proof that the norsemen l founded a settlement in Labrador three centuries ago.
 Commander MacMillan's new pro- gram became known here last night when he returned from a three months voyage to Labrador and lGreenland on behalf of the Field museum of Chicago. Stanley Field, president of the museum, met him with request to use his schooner
 Bowdoin in a five year South sea trip.
 "I scarcely thought Commander MacMillan would want to change his field of action" said Mir. Field, but I would have been glad if he had seen fit to head an expedition for US there. I llb Y ltli 10 pii' ct the best in the world in respect to it's ethnological collection from that region, but it is seriously lacking in geological specimens from the South seas and some day we must send an
 expedition for them.'
 The 26 members of the MacMillan- Field expedition arrived here yes terday on the schooners BoWdo,n and Sachem after an overnight stop at Tenants harbor. Scores of small
 craft put out 10 meet them and relatives and friends held impromptu reunions with the returning yoyagers on the rocks for both schooners. Last night Commander MacMillan lectured in the Casino, illustrating his talk with portions of the 10000 feet Of film he brought back from the north. Later the party ad-
 iourned to the hotel where the center of the stage was held by Abe Rroomnold. Eskimo interpreter. who
 is paving his first visit to civiliza- ton as the guest Of his commander.
 After entertaining his audience with selections on his accordion. Ape gave his impressions of the new world that opened up for him when the party arrived at Sydney N. S.

The bar Der shop was a terrifying experience with all those "electric razors" and after the barber put something on Commander Mac Millans head you could always smell the barber shop in damp weather afterwards
 The official homecoming reception fo tho expedition will be given to the explorcrs later today In Wiscasset. They are scheduled to arrive there shortly before noon and will be greeted by Colonel Theodore Roose- welt, Former Assistant Secretary of the Navy. William T.

DEMOCRATS SAID
 ID FAVOR 'WETS'
State Party May Have This in
 Platform

New Haven, Sept. II P@Demo- cratic platform makers were in ses- sion here yesterday, the special plat form committee of the state demo- cratic organization meeting to con- slider blanks to be acted upon at the democratic state convention next week
 Just what took place at the meeting remained closely guarded secret last night, those attending the meeting stating that their report would be made to the state conven- tion at the proper time.
 Although the members of the committee were silent as to what transpired 1t was gathered that there is no lack of issues to be brought before the Connecticut voters this fall.
 It was reported, although no members of the committee would confirm it, that there had been an insistent demand from democrats throughout the state for a wet plank in the platform and 1t was said last night that the platform committee had needed this demand in the ten tative draft of the platform drawn up. The committee members, how ever. refused to make statement at the meeting on this issue.
 The committee is headed by State Chairman James J. Walsh, of Meri- den. All but one of the members of the committee named recently by Mir. Walsh attended the meeting. The absent member. Charles C. Hemenway, of Hartford, sent a let ter regretting his inability to attend. Those present were Frank s. Der gin, of this city. former Mayor Henry T. King, of Meriden, Mae Keefe Of Waterbury. Thomas Hewes, of Pennington, and State Chairman Walsh.
 Chairman Walsh returned today from two day stay in Washington where he conferred with national party leaders. He refused to dis cuss any of the possible party can didates. He said that in the past there had been feeling among the party members as a whole that the organization had dictated the lead CTS.
 we have decided 10 do things differently this year" he explained. The names of candidates will be brought out at the only place. the convention and by the delegates 
 He stated that he would not be able 10 announce the name of the keynote speaker for the convention until some time today, declaring that he was 10 have another con ference this morning after which the announcement would be made.

To Buy Town Of Boyhood.

After wandering about over the
world for about 80 years, Carl Long
street has returned to Boone County
Mo-. and bought the town OF ProVi-
dence. ten miles south of Columbia, on
the Missouri River. where he spent
his boyhood as the foster son Of James
G. Gillespy. then likewise owner Of the
town. says the Christian Science Mon
itor.
The village of Providence. in steam
boat days. was a main shipping point
between st. Louis and Kansas city
The town once had population or
several hundred and a post office. To.
day only a half dozen houses stand on
the site and 1t Is no longer Il post Of
fice.
Mr.. Longstrees says that he loves
the place. not only because 1t was his
boyhood home. but for it's view of the
Missouri River. its climate and the
fine fishing. He plans to improve the
village and make something of a re-
sort of it.
Providence was founded in 1914.
after rise in the Missouri had de-
stroyed the old town Of Nashville. The
flood refugees found safety on a high
spot nearby and the town was rebuilt
there with the name Providence, in
recognition Of the haven which the
place had offered during the flood.
