EVIDENCE CHAIN
BINDS BIRCER
State Prepares to Rest Case
Today in Murder Trial.
BIZ United Press

By United Press
BENTON, ILL.,, July 20. With
an almost unbroken chain of evil
dence bound around Charlie Burger
Art Newman and Ray Hyland, the
state of Illinois prepared to rest its
case today in the Moyor Joe Adams
murder trial.
Only handful of witnesses were
scheduled to be called by the prose-
cution before the three notorious
gangsters are given an opportunity
to deny completely in the murder
as charged yesterday by the states
star witness.
Harry Thomasson, wan youth,
now serving a life sentence for the
actual murder of Adams, related
from beginning to end the part he
and his brother, Elmo, played in
the shooting Of the West City
mayor. Elmo since persisted in tho
fire at SHADY Rest" the Burger
roadhouse.
No amount of questioning by de-
Tense attorneys was able to shake
the boys story.
Observers believed the trial would
be completed some time this week
Few defense witnesses are to be
called although promises have been
made that Burger will take the
stand in his own behalf.

Wild Tale of Murder
on High Seas Hears End
Armed Tug Sent Out to
Meet Mystery Ship
From Africa.

NEW YORK, July 20-This is
story of murder on the high seas,
of a ship becalmed and its first mate
dead; a tale which might come from
the brain of a Jack London, or
Robert Louis Stevenson, or a Joseph
Conrad.
Today a tug is off Sandy Hook
trying to unravel the tale.
The story came to the coast guard
and to the Office Of the United
States attorney.
The schooner Kingsway, trader
which cruises the coast of Africa
dealing in everything from ivory to
spices, is the ship involved. 1t sails
out Of Perth Amboy, N. j., trim'
white vessel of romance.
Woman Slain
No one thought much of it until
word came that a trader had put
in at Monrovia, Liberia, weeks ago,
telling a story of speaking to the
Kingsway and learning that a man
aboard had gone wild. had killed a
woman, had been cast into the
dungeon and had broken out again.
1t wasn't clear who the woman
was, but it seemed she was the wife
of the captain or the wife of the
ships cook. Nor was 1t clear who
the killer might have been.
The trader pictured the ship be-
Gained beneath the tropic sun, the
murderer wandering the decks defy
ing all attempts to capture him, and
the crew muttering and dissatisfied.
Searched for Mate.
Then a few days ago a cable from
the American consul at the Bar
BADGES drifted in. 1t told of the
Kingsway putting in there to report
its mate was dead and he could not
be replaced.
But, at any rate, a mate was
found and the ship came on.
The coast guard and the U. S.
attorney decided they should act on
the reports when the ship was
sighted off Barnegat Light yester-
day.
1--WE don't know what this all can
be about" the district attorneys
office said "It is weird story and
it has to us from strange places and
with details vague.
$50 we propose to meet the ship
at Quarantine with a force of eight
or ten men. and we will be ready
to cope with any situation that we
may find"

Debt of $4,000 May Prove
Blight, but Why Bring
That Up?

More than $4,000 of the city's
money is roaming the streets, &C
cording to Deputy Controller G. M
Wilson. Fewer than half of the dogs
in Indianapolis have had their taxes
paid for the present year.
Only 1926 tax certificates have
been issued this year as against a
total of 1898 for last year. July 10
was the final day for paying dog
taxes as fixed by city ordinance.
Cooperation of the police depart
ment will be asked in a few days
Wilson said, and then the dog own
ers will stage a rush on the con-
troller's Office.
DR.. Herman G. Morgan, city sani-
tartan, by letter Tuesday called at
tention Of the board of safety to the
large number of dogs on the streets
and to complaints received concern
ing persons bitten by dogs.
Claude F. Johnson, chief of police
was instructed to have the police
keep sharp lookout for stray dogs
The city dog pound was urged to use
more vigilance in getting the stray
animals and to submit a weekly
report.

r~7ARTS, July 20.-Captain
IT. Charles Nungesser has
not gone down into the
sea, and he is not dead, his
gray-haired mother believes.
She bases her conviction on
some presentiment she cannot
explain, but in which she has alb
solute faith. She does not de-
spair; she has no maternal tears
to drop down to her boy.
She only waits. This stout
hearted woman, who bred one of
the greatest Of war aces and
smilingly sent him on his flight
across the Atlantic, waits in her
little garnet apartment, filled
with flowers, in the working
class district of Paris. She said:
I shall wait until Charles
birthday on November l, and
then if he is not back I shall
go and search for him. I shall
go to America, that wonderful
country of such generous and
noble people, where my friends,
these brave American boys who
have flown across the Atlantic,
will help me find my Charles"
Madame Nungesser, still a ma
jestic figure despite her weeks of
anxiety, rarely leaves her home
now and only receives her closest
friends.
The walls of the sitting room
are covered with pictures of
Captain Nungesser, photographs
and water colors and oils. Be-
sides the mothers favorite pic
ture of her son hangs an auto
graphed photograph of Colonel
Lindbergh. Showing these proud
ly to me, she picked up photo
graphs of Commander Byrd and

Chamberlain and held them to-
gether.
There" she cried almost hys-
terically, "look at these four,
just four airmen to whom their
exploits were all in a days work.
Men real men, and yet great
hearted boys. I love Charles
Lindbergh almost as much as I
do my own Charles. Chamber
lin is splendid man mad Com
mander Byrd-what kind
hearted gentleman! Asked why
she felt so confident that her son
was still alive, Madame Nungess-
er said:
Since he was a babe in my
arms the thought of Charles and
my thoughts have been the same.
When we have been separated
our letters, crossing, have con-
tanned the same thoughts and
expressions.
Call it telepathy if you like,
but I, his mother, and his great
est friend, who went through the
trials and horrors of the war
with him, tell you that he is
alive"
Perhaps he is lying injured
with a tribe of Indians, cut off
in Canada or Labrador, but he
lives My whole soul tells me that
we shall see each other again.
Look at me. Today I wear
blue, tomorrow pink, perhaps,
any color, but never black. My
Charles, the most wonderful lad
in all France, will not die with
out me.
when they put me in my
coffin and screw the lid down,
then Charles may be dead too,
but not until.
Tell the good American peo-
pie that a mother is coming to
find her son. I often feel he is
waving for me to come"

DRY FARMING
STATION BOOSTS
DAKOTA PROFIT
United Press Reporter
Covers CooIidge's Idea
of News Story.
BY PAUL II. MALLON
r1uited Press staff Corresuonden


ARDMORE, S. D., July 20.-Out
here in the golden West where there
is plenty of scenery and enough
outdoor life to please the most per-
sistent of game hunters, news has
been scarce for the Washington cor
respondents assigned to cover" the
summer vacation of President Cool
idge.
Mr.. Coolidge suggested that news
paper correspondents write stories
about the Ardmore dry farming
field station, 1,600-acre tract of
land devoted by the Federal Gov
eminent to experiments in raising
crops where the rainfall averages
only twelve inches year, and about
the Bellefourche irrigation project
where the Government furnished
water for the farmers of two coun-
ties.
Visited by Thousands
Following the Presidents sug-
gestion, the United Press cor
respondent came here and has
found some interesting information
concerning the extent to which the
Government has gone to develop
the soil possibilities of vast prairies.
o. R. Matthews, head of the ex-
perimental farm, said thousands of
farmers yearly visit his 400 acres of
cultivated land and 1900 acres of
pasture land to learn the tricks of
the trade of growing alfalfa, wheat.
corn, and sugar beets, and of raising
cattle. Mr.. Coolidge himself saw the
crops last Saturday at a farmers
picnic and walked in the stubby
corn three feet high which Is grown
in this semi-arid region.
The most important part of the
work IN crop production in this area
is the study of the proper method
of cultivation and crop rotation.
Matthews told the United Press that
if proper methods are used it is
possible to obtain average yields
from this soil despite the handicaps
of nature.
Good Done for Farmers
Grazing work is carried on en-
tirely on native pastures. One OF
the objects is to find the carrying
capacity of the native grass to de-
termine the effect Of different in
tensities of grazing on vegetation.
1--WE have done the farmers out
here lot of good" Matthews said.
"I can visualize the day when all
these brown buttes and rolling lands
will bear food for the nation. To-
day they are practically worthless"
The station is situated at the
foot of the Black Hills where Mr..
Coolidge is spending the summer.
