down 1913 feet to the floor OF the
Atlatnic ocean to survey the grave
of the ill-fated submarine S-51, radio
advices received at the submarine

The S-51 rammed and sunk last
September, was located last night
with the aid of the trawling appar-
.atus of the Falcon, following an all
day search for her resting place from
which Identification bu6Ys had drift
ed. After locating the sunken SUB
marine, the Falcon dropped anchor
for the night and today the tugs
Toka. Sycamore and Vestal, all con-
nected with the salvaging operations,
moved into position around her. The
entire day was spent in the pre-
liminary operations aboard the YES
sells of the salvaging fleet and when
all was in readiness, two divers went
over the side for the first work OF
raising the craft to the surface.
Reports received at the base to-
night said that except for moss, SAND
and clay, piled against the sides OF
the s-51, she was about in the same
position and location as when work
was abandoned.

LIGHTNING HITS
FLAG POLE UPON
DISPATCH HOME

Looking for some spot to make a
landing, Old Man Lightning Wednes-
day afternoon about 1920 lowered
about Douglas and then shot straight
down to light on the 12 foot flag
pole on the roof of the Dispatch
building.
there is not known but he did step
on the pole for a moment with the
result that goodly portion of it
crashed downward, striking and pass
ing through the top of a parked ma
chine belonging to Walter Ross
Two painters who were busy with
their brushes. on a scaffold just be-
meath the roof on which the pole for~
merlA rested, went to their knees
when the sharp flash of lightning
struck the pole and it's splintered por-
tions skfdded by outside.
In various other sections of the city,
the saMne bolt of lightning kstruck
uncomf fortably close but no serious
damage was reported elsewhere with
the exception of few telephone wires
being cut by the flash, and few
bricks being knocked off the chimney
the charging line at the Ford Motor
car company garage on G avenlfe was
burned dry of water surrouding when
the flash struck. Other batteries on
the same line were not damaged.
Most of the storm during which the
flash occurred went up the valley as
far as could be judged here, missing
this city to a great extent. There
were several other bad lightning
flashes which followed the destruc-
tive flash but the pole-destroying one
attracted the most attention. Many
folks who were using their telephones
at the time let go the receiver with
speed when the flash came, while the
minute pole fell from The Dispatch
building, a crowd of interested folk
gathered. One man who was holding
the door of his auto, could not let go,
and felt the shock run up his arm
and shoulder. His car was parked
before the Gadsden hotel.

Angel Flores were shipped to Mexico
City for medical examination was
opened en- route, said a special dis
patch to the Herald today Whether
those who opened it disturbed its

simultaneously the Herald received
intelligence from Culiacan, Sinaloa,
that Sonora Flores, who was reported
few days ago to have charged
"high government officials" with pol
soning her husband and causing MS
death, has issued a denial that she
had made such statement. General
Flores took the poison himself by
mistake, the telegram to the news
paper quotes the woman as saying.
General Angel Flores died March
81, from what professors and doctors
at Rosales College, Culiacan, later
said was disintegration of his organs
induced by taking poison. The charge
was made that Flores was poisoned
by political enemies and an investi-
cation was instituted. The viscera
were shipped to Mexico City for more

CONCERTED AND
REAL FARM AID
STARTED
1Ru Dispatch A. P. wirel


WASHINGTON, April 28.-A con-
certed drive for enactment of real
farm relief legislation before ad-
journment was launched today in
congress.
House leaders laid plans for con-
sideration of such legislation next
week and at the same time a group
of senators from western states
agreed unanimously at a luncheon
conference to oppose adjournment
vigorously until an adequate agrl-
cultural aid measure is passed.
After a conference with President
Coolidge at the White House, Rep
resentative Tilson announced that
the three bills reported yesterday by
the agriculture committee would be
taken up in the house Monday or
Tuesday.
Four days will be allowed for gen
eral debate with possibly one or two
night sessions so that there will be
full opportunity for the membership
TO express it's views on the admin
istration, corn belt relief and Curtis
AsweI measures.
Senators at the luncheon confer
ence started an organized movement
in support of the corn belt pIan'
which is embodied in the bill, spon-
sored by Chairman Houghton of the
house agriculture committee this
meeting was the first of series IN
support of the movement to prevent
adjournment and to draw strength
to the measure. Only republican
senators attended, but it was an
nounced that at subsequent meet
ines. democrats will be called on
and speakers will be present to ex-
plain the various proposals that have
been brought forward in both the
senate and house.
Some of the leaders in the senate
movement are of the opinion that
recent political events, and more par
ticularly the defeat of Senator Nc
Kinley in the republican primaries
in Illinois, has brought farm relief
legislation measureably nearer of ac-
complishment.
They declare that republican lead
ers in and out of congress are be-
coming convinced that adjournment
without the enactment of some meas
ure which would tend to stabilize
prices of farm products and enable
the farmer to get returns commen-
surate with his outlay and labor
might have far,reaching consequences
in the November elections when a
new house of Representatives and
"a senators are to be elected.

PLANES FAIL
IN EXPEDITION.
TO THE NORTH.
lBy Dispatch A P. wirel

FAIRBANKS, Alas k a,
April 28.-Shipment Of sup.
plies for the Wilkins trans
polar airplane expedition
into the Arctic ocean by
steamer was suggested here
today following tests which
are said to have shown in
ability of the Detroiter,
three-engined plane, to
reach Point Barrow, $40
miles north Of here, and re-
turn. Steamers would be
able to reach Point Barrow
only after the Arctic ice
pack breaks up in July or
August. The Detroiter
started for Point Barrow,
northern supply base of the
expedition Monday but
turned back after travelling
100 miles when one Of its
motors failed. 1t was au-
thoritatively stated today
that the plane has been UNI
able to carry a fuel load
sufficient to fly to and from
Point Barrow.
The fate Of Captain George H. will
kins and his pilot, Lieutenant Cart
B. Eielson. who left here for Point
Barrow in the Alaskan, one-engined
plane, on April is. remains a mys-
terry despite a constant radio vigil
here. Captain wilkins expected to
return in two or three days, having
completed a previous trip safely. The
purpose of the Detroiter's attempted
flight to Point Barrow was to search
for wilkins. An electric compass
which replaced the marine instrument
in the Detroiter after the marine
compass failed Monday, worked salts
factorily in North and South test
flights yesterday. West and East
readings are to be checked soon.
Failure of the airplane to carry sup
plies to Point Barrow augment a se-
ries of setbacks which has confronted
the expedition since its start. At
tempts to use snow motors to haul
supplies failed after travelling less
than 100 miles and a dog team expe-
dition almost starved to death before
crossing the Endicott range of noun
tains between the interior of Alaska
and the northern plateau.

TURNER STATES
CONF FES SION Is
NOT THE TRUTH
kRy Dispatch A. P. Wirel

PIKEVILLE, KY, April 2S. - The
Turner murder trial in Pike circuit
court neared completion today as
the defense closed with a repudia-
ton by William H. Turner, the de-
fendant, on part of an alleged con-
fession, and closing arguments were
begun.
Testifying in his own behalf,
Turner denied that he and his
brother-in-law, Joe Jack, Jr., dyna-
mited the Auburn mine at McCarr'
KY. killing Henry Wilson and an
unidentified man. The body of one
of the miners was identified as Turn
er and relatives collected $4,000 in
surance Repudiating that part of his
alleged confession in which he had
named Jack, Turner brought into
the case for the first time the name
of Paul Tope, miner, and accused
him of engineering the insurance
fraud.
Turner testified he and Wilson
went in the mine to shoot charge
and said that after they set the
dynamite he returned to get mud to
tamp down the dynamite. While
coming back to the mine he heard
an explosion and met Tope at the
entrance. Don't go in" he sad
Tope told him, "a Hungarian and
Wilson have been killed"
Turner said that he and Tope sat
down on a rock and talked a while
"Tope asked me if 1 had any in
surance,' Turner said, "and told
him 1 had $89,00O" Then he told
me to beat it,, and I protested be-
cause 1 had left my coat with my
watch and keys in the mine. Tope
told me never mind the coat, III
get you another one.'".
Turner declared that Tope took
him to Williamson, w. Va, and
bought him another suit and put him
on a train for Columbus, Ohio After
reaching there he discovered that
Tope had given him $1,000. Upon
ss-examination, Turner said that
he did not know why he had left
his home and wife upon the advice
of a strange man. Turner was then
questioned, about the condition OF
the two bodies. The heads and feet
had been blown off. Asked if he had
ever heard of mine explosion in
which men were injured in this man
ner, he declared that he "dldn
know"

that McSwiggin's clothing was badly

tightly about his neck, and that his
clothing had been stripped of marks
of Identification. On the other hand,
he had departed in the presence Of
