GIRLS ASSAILANT SOUGHT BY MQbS
Arkansas Authorities Refuse to Say Where Negro Is Confined

Little Rock, Ark. May 2 R- Thwarted by police vigilance. a mob of 100 men in automobiles today continued their search or 'jails for a 1e year old negro boy who con- fessed yesterday to the assault and murder of 12 year old white girl here. The mob had dwindled rapid ly away from an estimated crowd of 5000 which last night stormed the state pen1tentiary and several jails in central Arkansas.
 In the meantime, Lonnie Dixon. the negro boy. was being concealed by state officials who had earlier asked for aid from the Arkansas Na- tional Guard, but who were unable to obtain this aid because the guardsmen were needed in the flood areas.
 Dixon confessed to police yester- day that he had slain Floella Mc- Donald after having lured her to the belfry of the First Presbyterian SuuISIi IlClC l"O "CCno 06O olA <s promise 10 show her the flooded city. He attacked her. he told police, and when the child threatened to scream. struck her on the head with brick.
 The girls disappearance caused a city wide search since April 12 until her body was discovered by Dixon's $ father. the janitor at the church. The boy exonerated his father in his confession, police said.
 After the negro's confession was made public, feeling ran high and mob was hurriedly formed. Men and boys marched to the state peni- tentiary and when they were refused admittance. tore the penitentiary gate from it's hinges. A committee of five men were then allowed to search the prison and reported the negro was not held there.
 Mystery still surrounded the dis appearance April II. of Lonnie White. 13 year old boy. Police be- lieve that he was drowned in flood waters.

GOES 0N TRIAL IN
 MAIL THEFT CASE
D'Autremont, Principal, Is Charged With Murder

JacKaonvllle, Ore.. May 2 (UP)- Hugh DAutremont. alleged train dynamiter. went on trial for his life in circuit court here today.
 The dapper youth who was the ob- ject of an international search for more than three years, appeared to be in his usual good spirits as the session opened at 10 o'clock this morning. He still maintained his academic intere9t in the procedure. for Hugh intends to become lawyer if he is successful in his legal battle to escape the gallows or confinement in 8 federal prison.
 Four counts of first degree murder are against D'Autremont and his twin brothers. Ray and Roy. Hugh is being tried on only one but the result of it probably will determine the fate of all four counts.
 But even though the fight for life is won. D,Autremont will not go free. If the state fails to hang him, fed- -eral authorities will claim the pris- oner and the scene will be shifted to Portland for trial in the United States Court on charges of attempted robbery of a mail train.
 If Hugh Is convicted at the state trial here. the penalty is death by hanging. If he is freed here and is convicted at the subsequent federal trial, the maximum sentence will be oo5 years In prison.
 The trial of Hugh D'Autremont brings to a climax one of the most noted crimes in the history of Ore- gon. involving the murder of four men and the endangering of the lives of scores of others.
 On October II, 1923. Southern Pacific train left the little station of :siskiyou. near the Oregon California line and rolled into a death trap. Entering Sisl:iyou tunnel. a bore in the mountains half mile long. 1t was held up.
 Three trainmen, resisting attack. were shot down in cold blood. A large charge of dynamite was placed in the mail car the car was wrecked and the mail clerk was killed.
 Authorities and special investiga- tors assumed at once that the crime was the work of amateurs. It was too bloody. they said. and the over charge of explosive denoted lack of experience. Had the train carried valuable loot. which 1t didn't 1t would have been torn 10 shreds by the force of the blast
 Suspicion did not fasten itself on the Autremonts until clothing be- longing to Hugh was found near the murder scene. Posse members then learned that the brothers had left their Eugene home and were sup posed to have been in that part of Oregon. In the meantime they had disappeared. They were accused of the murders and the man-hunt. which continued more than three years. was started and rewards to- talng thousands of dollars were of-. fered for their apprehension.
 Hugh was arrested in Manila, P. I. few months ago where he was serving as a private in the 30th T.. $. Infantry. He was returned to San Francisco by government authori- ties. Later he was surrendered to the State of Oregon to permit trial on the more serious state charge of first degree murder.
 Ray and Roy are still at large and If Hugh has any idea of their where abouts he has declined to reveal it, in spite of prolonged questioning by postal inspectors while he was in their custody.

Episcopal Church
to Start Bishops
Crusade January 3

A formal proclamation launching
the Bishops Crusade of. the Episco-
pal Church on January 8, was is
sued to the church throughout the
United States yesterday by Rt. Rev.
John Gardner Murray ID. d., presid-
ing bishop.
The Bishops Crusade is n nation
wide movement originated by the
bishops Of the church and designed
to reawakcn the entire membership
to spiritual and practical efficiency.
1t is not an effort, the leaders de-
clare, to gain new members from
other faiths, nor to raise funds or
promote so called revival AS
against charges Of futile piety,' Sun
day religion and .lethargy,' the cru
SADIE aims to arouse and inspire the
whole church membership to con-
tinuing realization Of their duties
and responsibilities as Christian cit
liens in present day world conditions.
"On January 8 the Bishops Cru
SADIE begins" says Bishop Murray in
his proclamation. 'Threc hundred
of the church are to carry to the
people throughout the land a call to
rededication to Christ and renewal
of allegiance to His cause. The Gen
eral Convention authorized the cru
SADIE; the national commission on
evangelism planned it; diocesan COM
missions have organized it locally;
crusaders are going forth to carry
its message. Results now depend
upon all the people of the church."
Bishop Murray describes the cru
SADIE as Il spiritual movement"
which 'unites the whole church in
pursuit of single aim" and he
summons the church to "rally to the
coIors"

Only Q few Inquiries have been

partially perfected claims that this
probably ID their last chance. A
number Of the letters have been re-
turned because the postoffice de.

Numerous. inquiries have been re-
ceived, however, from war veterans
who Wish to take advantage Of the
loan provision in the adjusted COM
peYisation certificates issued to war
veterans by the federal government.
Many veterans, 1T was said. appear to

STOCK MARKET
HAS REACTION
Spectators For the Decline
Cause Further Drop-Rally
Attempts Fail -"

New York, Jan. 4.--[R- Specula-
tors for the decline succeeded in
bringing about .. further reaction in
today's market. "A large increase in
brokers loans last week, disquieting
Mexican dispatches and speculative
disappointment over the action Of d.
rcctors Of the Atchison, Topeka and
Santa Fe railroad in declaring an ex-
ira cash dividend of only Is cents, NIL
tended to create bearish sentiment,
which an easing of money rates and
optimistic business forecasts would
not cOunteract.
Wall street apparently had an ink
ling Of the action to be taken by
Atchison directors as the stock open
cd AZ points lower, rallied above
1C5 just before the dividend action
was announced and then sold down
to 1929. an overnight loss of nearly
six points. Sharp recessions also
took place in such issues as Atlantic
Coast Line, Jersey Central and West
inghouse Airbrake.
Selling Of stocks also may have
been influenced by a poor November
earnings report by the Pullman COM
pany, which showed an operating
deficit of nearly $4,000 as against
operating income Of nearly $32O,OOO
in the same month of 1925, drop in
freight traffic on the Chicago and
Northwestern in December, n decline
Of so cents a ton on Bessenier Iron in.
the Pittsburgh district and a falling
off in December sales of the Sears
Roebuck company compared with the
year before.
An attempt to rally the list by bid.
ding up a selected list Of motor, su-
gar and tobacco shares around mid
day met with little success, although
gains of two to three points were
recorded by few issues in those
groups. These were reduced when
selling pressure was, renewed in the
early afternoon.
