FIND BODY OF
MISSING Man

CORDOVA, Alaska, March B.
The body Of Conrad Silvertson has
been found in his boat in a lagoon
in a lonely spot on Montague Island
and was brought here yesterday.
The body is badly decOmposed.
Silvertson was a cod fisherman Of
Unga and sailor on the old mail
steamer Dora, plying from Seward
to the Westward. He had lately
been caretaker on fox island.
Home brew found in the boat led
to the belief this might have caused
death but no signs Of violence were
found and Silvertson probably died
from illness.
The gasboat of Steve Gail. trap
ped bound for Eshamy Bay, is also
missing since last December. Gail
came to Alaska in 1911. 1t is be-
lieved he has been lost in one of
the recent storms.

Steese Gets Senate Commit
tee to Raise Alaska Road
Funds to $1,000,000

Hearings before the Senate Com
mitee on Military Affairs have re-
suited in the Alaska Road Commits
sion's appropriations in the War De-
partment bill being raised to ST.
100000. Advices to this effect were
received late yesterday at local
Commission headquarters from Col.
James G. Steese, President.
! This is boost Of 100000 from
the allowance made by the Bureau
i of Budget. which parc1 down the
Commissions annual estimates from
81, ,750, 000 to 100000. The House
Committee raised the amount to
IS751,000 which was approved by
the House. The Senate Committee
has increased the House figure by
$249,000
Last year the House fixed the
Commission item at 5000, 600. This
was allowed to stand by the Senate
inasmuch as 1t was a substantial
increase over the appropriation for
the preceding year. The national
economy hit the Commission hard
before the Director of Budget this
year. Col. Steese appeared before
the House Committee and secured a
healthy increase over the Budget
allowance. He had similar sue.
cess before the Senate Committee
and it is expected that the Senate
will not cut the 100000 APP
proved by the Committee. In the
conference over the Department
Bill, it is believed the Commission
will secure not less than 100000
and there is probability it will
get the full sum allowed in the
Senate.
Col. Steese will remain in Wash
ington for several days longer, look
ing after matters of Importance to
the Commission. He has advised
his local headquarters he plans tc

home for woman whom he longed
to make his wife as soon as the

Growing impatient, the husband
finally began proceedings for di-
force himself He pleaded that his
wifes refusal to demand divorce
constituted serious insult" to him.
Such conduct. he argued, showed an
indifference to his acts and proved
that she attached no Importance to
him and therefore a divorce should
be granted against Eer.

TOLEDO CLUBBER YET

FOURTH YOUNG WOMAN

TOLEDO, Ohio, Oct. 26-tP0-The sec

in "a hours was thrust upon police to-
night following the finding of the body
of Mrs. Mary Alden, AT, in the dining
room of her home. The entire police
department had been working fever
ishly throughout the day in an effort
to find the slayer of the first victim,
Miss Lily Croy, school teacher, who
was murdered and criminally assaulted
Monday night.
Mrs. Aldens body, pierced by several
bullet wounds, was found late today

work in a factory.
The Alden murder differed from the
Croy case and three preceding it in the
past IA months here. Mrs. Alden was
shot to death in her own home about 8
o'clock this morning, officials believe
while the others were attacked in Sc

were used. In connection with the slay-

MACHINE Is
FOUND In N. Y. COUNTY
COURT HOUSE WINDOW

NEW YORK, Oct. 26.-(P)-An Infer
nal machine" containing granulated
dynamite sufficient to snuff out many
lives, found on the ledge of a window
of the county court house this morn
harbor tonight.
The 'infernal machine" was a cheap
tan suitcase. 1t sat innocently on the
window ledge as clerks entered the
building early today One more Curl
Gus than the rest took it inside the
building to examine it. Deputy County
Clerk Thomas A. Farley was more sus-
picious than curious. He notified the
bureau of combustibles. Three mem-
bers of the bureau sliced the side of
the suitcase and removed a clock me-
chanism, tin of illuminate of mercury
which eXplodes by percussion-and a
wooden box filled with granulated dy-
Mantle.
The dynamite, estimated at from 10
TO 25 pounds, was sufficient to damage
not only the county court house, but
city hall and other downtown build
ings, some of the investigators said
Investigators worked on there the
ories. That the bomb was placed on
the window ledge by someone who in
tended to place it somewhere else but
was frightened away by a policeman;
that it was the work of radicals, or
that some disgruntled litigant had de-
cided to blow UP the court house. After
examining the suit case, police con-
signed it to the waters of the bay.
