The royal party motored to Cliff
Spring this morning, leaving Wylie
Way camp, where they spent last night

stream which trickles down from the

The royal couple sat around the same
rude stone that served as a table for

At Cape Royal the couple stood
spellbound on the point and viewed

extended the Grand canyon for 80
miles and to the east the narrow cash

behind Echo Cliffs, which mark the

Behind all this stretched the painted

BUTTE, Mont, July 14.-Denial that
Mrs Anna Pierce Clark of Butte was
ever a member of their household, or
that they ever had seen her before, was
made in district court here today by
two of the three claimants to daugh-
ter's shares in the $47,O00,0OO fortune
left by the late Senator w. A. Clark
of Montana The claimants are Mrs.
Anna Clark Hines, Effie Clark McWil-
liams of Missouri, and Addie L. Clark
Miller of Denver.
Mrs. Clark testified that her hus-
band William Anderson Clark, a. Butte
salesman, now dead, was the father of
the three claimants, and taht they bore
no relationship to the senator. She said
she had been a domestic in the home
of William Anderson Clark in Stewards
VILE, Mo-, and that after he came to
Montana she became his wife.
Mrs McWilliams and Mrs. Miller to-
day declared that the Anna Pierce they
had known was much larger woman
and darker complexioned than the wit
ness The two women, together with
several others who professed to have
known the father of the claimants, in
SlSI0u IIdI- pictures VI WAAAA~Au ~AAt
derson Clark in evidence here, did not
resemble anyone they had ever known.
The defense excused the rebuttal
witnesses with practically no cross-ex-
animation and Offered no further evil
dence, the remainder of the session be-
ing devoted to settling interrogatories
which will give the jury power to de-
termine the status of each heir. While
the jury will render it's verdict as to
the validity of the claims of each heir,
under Senator Clark's will, by stip-
ulation between attorneys today, an
agreement was reached on all claims
except those of the three women who
are plaintiffs in the present action.
After some arguments, the entire
deposition of Ella Clark Newell, sister
of Senator Clark, was introduced. She
traced the life of eSnator Clark as she
knew it, told of her information as to
her brothers marriages to Katherine
Stauffer and later to Anna Lachapelle
and declared that she never had heard
of william Anderson Clark or Of any
members of his family.

TWO MEN CIRCLE
GLOBE IN q DAYS
AND AZ HOURS
(By Dispatch A. p. Wirel

NEW YORK, July IA. - Airplanes,
ocean liners, express trains and rae
ing automobiles have outdone jules
Vernes widest dream of speedy
world girdling. With their aid two
Americans circled the globe in one
third of Verne's heros time and lop-
ped a week from the actual record
made a little over decade ago.
Linton o. Wells and Edward E. Ev-
ans roared into New York in a rae
ing car this afternoon and alighted at
the Pulitzer building exactly 28 days,
IA 1-2 hours after they departed on q
tugboat to catch the liner Aquitania
down the bay Ell route to Europe. In
the interim, they had crossed France,
Germany, Russia, Siberia, China, Ja-
pan and the United states. Eight
thousand of the 20,100 miles traversed
were by airplane, with eleven stops
and not one accident.
The world-girdlers spent last night
at Rantoul, ILL.,, losing a number OF
hours toward their record because the
planes in which they had come from
Seattle, Wash, were not equipped tol
night flying. They allowed them
selves only three houfS sleep between
Seattle and New York, jumping from
the pits to their planes to the seats
of yaiting racing cars at Mitchell
field for the last dash OF the trip.

was made in 1913 by John Henry
Mears, who bettered Jules Verne's fic-
tion estimate of around the world IN

(By Dispatch A. p. wire)

CHICAGO, July IA. - Consideration
of Robert B. Scott's plea of guilty anc
the expressed belief that he was with
out the instinct to murder\ and was
dominated by his older brother, Rus
lsell T. Scott. led Judge William N
Gemmill today to sentence him to life
Imprisonment
Russell Scott is under sentence to
be hanged October Is, next, for the
murder of Joseph Maurer, a drug
clerk, shot to. death when the Scott
brothers robbed the city hall phar-
macy in downtown Chicago the night
of April 2. 1924.
Russell Scott took the leadership
Throughout said Judge Gemmill pre-
liminary to imposing sentence. "He
used threatening language. There
was nothing of the kind shown so
far as Robert was concerned. There
is no longer any question or doubt
that Russell fired the fatal shot.
There is no question about both being
guilty of murder, but they are not
evenly guilty.
He was seven years younger than
RUSSELL; ndu DeeH IN UHes employ VI
his brother.
sTt seems to- be true they did not
intend to kill. Had Robert been as
bloodthirsty as most of these robbers
we try he could have killed Maurer
at any time.
The actual Staying of. young Maurer
was characterized by Judge Gemmill
as 'the most cowardly and cruel muir
der since I have been on the bench"
Judge Gemmill said he gathered
from the evidence that Russell Scott
crept up behind Maurer and fired the
fatal shot with his pistol six inches
away from the youths body. The
Judge severely criticized "organiza-
tions formed to protect Russell Scott
from his punishment"
Russell Scott twice has escaped the
death penalty. In the same courtroom
in which Robert was sentenced today,
Russell year ago pleaded guilty and
was sentenced to death. His attorney
obtained permission to change his
plea and a jury trial resulted in an
other death sentence. That was evad-
ed when another jury found Russell

MYSTERY Of
IS
YET A MYSTERY.
tBy Dispatch A. p. Wire,

LOS ANGELES, Calf,
July 14.-The mystery Of
Aimee Semple Mcpherson,
evangelist who dived into
the Santa Monica surf May
f18 and came up on the Mex
ican desert June %, today
presented a growing total
of conflicts of evidence and
negative results Of investi-
cation.
The woman who founded
the million dollar Angelus
Temple here tells the same
story Of kidnapping and i'm
prisonment she told at her
appearance at Diou G a S,
Ariz., three weeks ago, the
same story she has reiter-
ated to her congregation
and over the radio several
times since, the same story
she related to the county
grand jury last Thursday.
Her narrative so far is
the only constant feature of
the case.
The conflicting testimony started al
most from the moment she disappear
ed. Her secretary, Mrs. Emma Schaef-
fer, and her mother, Mrs. Minnie Ken
nedy, said that she was drowned. Her
congregation joined in mourning for
her. Scores searched the beach and
waves for her body and one, if not
two men, are said to have been lost
searching for her mortal remains
Then the evangelist torpedoed the
drowning story by staggering into
Aqua Prieta, across the Mexican bor-
der from Douglas. She said she had
been druggedb kidnapped, held in a
Mexican shack and had escaped. No
body could find the shack. Nobody
could trace the car in which she said
she had been abducted. Nobody could
locate the trail Of her kidnapers. Ex-
perts said that the clothes she wore
showed little sings Of the II mile hike
she told of across the Mexican sands
under a desert sun.
Kenneth Ormiston, her ex-radio OPP
orator at Angeles temple, whose name
had been linked with the mystery, APP
peared said he knew nothing, of the
matter, and disappeared.
He disappeared SO effectively that
police and sheriff's officers, with re-
newed interest in his testimony, have
failed in a widespread search to locate
him.
Last night there came to light a tell
egram sent from Oakland three days
after Mrs Mcpherson disappeared to
Angeles temple, saying Your daugh-
ter is 0. X" 1t was addressed to
Mother McPhersoii." Mrs. Kennedy is
known as Mother Kennedy, A tele-
graph company employe who received
the message, says that the man who
wrote it tailed with the description Of
Ormiston. Handwriting experts ex-
press the belief that Ormiston did writs
it and one, Milton Carlton, has been
subpoenaed to testify along that line.

By c. Q. Weather Man

Rainfall in Douglas during the

renee l.. Mcdaniel, who maintains
the meteorological station at the

much lighter and that two miles be-
yOnd the smelter no rain fell at all.
ON this basis, Mcdaniel estimates

BRAVE DUTY

DOVER, N. j., July IA
The sheer courage of 100
picked marines under Cap
tain A. T. Lewis today
averted another possible
wave Of explosions at the
navy's devastated arsenal at
Lake Denmark.
When fire was discovered
in a wrecked storehouse III
the northern section of the
arsenal waste lands near
buildings filled with high
explosives, the m arin e 5
rushed in and ran a line Of
hose from a small lake a
quarter of a mile away.
Surrounded by tons Of eX-
plosives, the devil dogs sue
ceeded in extinguishing the
flames before they could
spread.
The marines are from the 5th regl-
ment, brought mere from Quantico.
and each was selected for his expert
ness in some line of salvage or rescue
work
Even while they were engaged in
extinguishing the fire an explosion
was heard in section of the arsenal
further north. Captain Lewis pro-
nounced it that of a 16 inch shell.
The marines We're forced to clear a
stretch of road and to tear down a
wrecked and interIocked iron gate in
order to bring up a pumping engine.
AS an example of the spirit Of the
men, Captain Lewis told of one who
battled with the first at such close
qaurters that the sole of his shoe
was burned through.
One of the storehouses close to the
burning storehouse No. was filled
for the most part with 16-inch shells.
others nearby contained Shells rang
ing in size from to 16 inches.
Major General Lejeune, commander
of the marine corps, arrived at the
scene today. He paid highest tribute
both to the marines who lost their
lives and to those who now are in
charge of the rescue and salvage
work. Their names will be placed on
the honor roll of the marine corps,
he said. He paid high tribute to Cap
tain Clarke of the marine corps, listed
as missing, but whose body, it is
feared, may never. be recovered or
recognized HE was a splendid Of
ficer," said the commandant.
While General Lejeune was making
his inspection, a civilian employe who
had worked for Captain Clarke, ap-
peared with an armful of mementos.
Among theme were photographs OF
the captains smiling wife and an
army blouse rumpled and grimy, but
bearing the double bars. The work
man had found them in the ruins OF
the captains home and was taking
them to Mrs. Clarke.

at 21 today, but further human frag-
ments We're recovered and turned over
