 NIT. Taft said that undoubtedly Dodge's name would be brought into the trial by defense and that he intended to present Dodge as a wit ness for the prosecution on re- buttal.
 The woman who disappeared is Mrs. George Corners wife of the man Remus described in a. bitter ar gument in court yesterday as his sec retary. but who was termed by tho prosecution "Remus' lieutenant" and this man who served in the peni- tentiary at the same time Remus did"

of the National Aeronautical Asso-

that several aviation units were
contemplating a flight from the

"The mainland Hawaiian hop
represents the longest unconquered
oversea flight and the near success
Of the late Commander Rodgers in

the lacking cash prize" Baab said.
