try. Several persons reported seeing the father and son at the race track yesterday afternoon, and at the ca sino last night.
 Wards disappearance on May 6 was shrouded in mystery. His auto mobile was found abandoned near Trenton, N. J. with the windshield broken and a large stone on the front seat. A murder theory persist ed for some time and nearby creek was dragged, but no trace of the missing man was found. Later 1t was said he left Trenton by train on the night his car was found.
 Numerous rumors as to Wards whereabouts followed. An exhausted carrier pigeon was picked up at Bryn Athyn, Pa, with message at- tached to it's leg, signed Ward say ing he was imprisoned in shack along the Delaware river near Trenton, and asking for help.
 State police after fruitless search decided the message to be a hoax. Subsequent reports had Ward living on the Pacific coast, on Long Island, and at Tuckahoe, N. Y. His family steadily maintained they did not know his whereabouts.
 Ward first broke into print in May, 1922, when he surrendered to the sheriff of Westchester County, N. Y. and confessed having shot and killed Clarence Peters. who he said had tried to blackmail him for s75,- GOO. He claimed he shot in self-de- fense.
 A month later he was indicted for the crime, but in January, 1923. the indictment against him was dismiss sed on grounds that no evidence had been presented to show his story of the killing untrue.
 Governor Smith then became in- terested in the case, and extraordin- ary grand jury was summoned. In August, 1928, this grand jury indict- ed him for the second time for the murder of Peters, and on September 12, 1923, he was brought to trial at White Plains, N. Y. He was acquit- ted of the charged after trial last ing 16 days.

Through he Static

Two pretty good nights. Distance and clarity, not to forget volume. | Of course, there was the usual buzz l ing interference now and then, espe- cially early Saturday evening. A new one, consisting of 6 series of snaps was featured on Saturday night. This | is a usual occurrence during snow storms and has something to do with the electricity gathering on the aerial or something. There was little static on Saturday or Sunday. We logged four Florida stations Saturday evening, WQAM, Miami; WHO'D, Miami Beach; WMBF, Miami i Beach, and WJAX, Jacksonville. Each and every one of them came through with excellent volume, and the only one which was unsatisfac- tory was WMBF. which 'has been terribly distorted since the great Miami storm knocked over its radio shack and aerials. A saxophone solo was featured at WQAM. this being rendered in excellent tone. Rose in The Bud" was the title. WHO'D offer ed the Mingo orchestra, or some such name, in dance selections, one of them being Lonely Me"
 Of Course, Chicago stations were plentiful. It seems that We run into a new one each evening. Just as we feel sure that we have logged the entire gang, a new one starts up. There must be at least 25 stations out in the Windy City now. XIV came through loud. It had to. to compete with the heavy code which was making things almost unbear- able up on the high wavelengths, WHIT, was loud as usual, and we mo- ticed that it's wave was very nar- row. That has been the case for long time, and other stations should follow suit. WLS spread over about four points on the dials, In decided contrast to it's sister in the Wrigley Building.
 WIP, Philadelphia, came through for it's semi-annual visit, offering classical program which was one Of the deadest things on the air at the time we were listening in. It's funny how some stations can make their classical programs so interesting, while others let them die on their feet.
 Out at WLW, Cincinnati, where Ford and Glenn were holding forth, conditions were excellent. And we might say that WLS programs are rather mediocre without those two jovial comedians. That is, the late programs. The early evening pro- grams are as crammed full of inter est as they ever were, but after mid night they are sort of luke warm. Well, at WLW they had a barn dance and the two fellows conducted the same kind of a program that they did at WLS. The Twin Wheeze was transported to Cincinnati and it was operating on all four.
 Others we logged. with volume,
