Patrolman b. r. Campbell of the

onerated in the fatal shooting yester.
day morning of Larry Hall, 20 years
old, after a mie-a minute race be-
tween two policemen in motor cycle
and four men in stolen automobile.
The coroner's jury held that Hall
wound in the brain, hemorrhage and
shock, caused by the firing of a gun
in the hand of b. r. Campbell of the
tenth precinct while chasing a stolen
automobile. We believe this to be an
accident, not intentional on the part
of Officer Campbell, in line of duty"

Edwards Is Aroused.
Meanwhile Senator Edwards of New

HUNGER MENACES

DRESDEN, Saxony, July 11-Most
of Saxony presented a scene Of wreck.
age today as relief squads and emer.
gency forces We're at work to aid the
homeless and alleviate suffering
caused by floods after cloudbursts
Saturday.
Just how many persons lost their
lives in the catastrophe, described by
meteorologists as the worst of the kind
suffered by Germany in the last SO
years, will not be known for some
time because Of severed communica.
tions, inundated roads and demolished
bridges, but enough has been learned
to indicate the toll will reach several
hundred. At Berggieshubel, which of
the many flooded towns and villages
suffered most, the authorities place
the known dead at SO.
Food Situation Acute.
At least half the populace of this
place were thrown on the mercy of
the elements when the raging waters
washed all before them. The food sit.
uation was acute today, as only one
provision store was left standing. Re-
lief parties found it difficult to get
supplies to the scene
In Lauenstein, in the Gottleuba
Valley. the devastation extended
from IS to 20 miles. The picturesque
Gottleuba Spa was all mud and water
today and a deathlike silence was
everywhere. Before the wreckage of
one house two elderly women were
incessantly overhauling their pitiful
belongings. They lost their entire fami-
lies and went mad. Their shrill cries
continued throughout the night.
A railway car at Glashuette was
derailed by the onrushing flood and
thrown a distance of 800 yards.
Rush TO Tragedy.
The district around Chemnitz looks
like big lake several miles in diam
eter. Residences and factories have
been made unfit for use.
High waters of the E,lster and
Pleisse Rivers. as well as their tribu-
taries, threaten to cause still further
floods in towns along their lower
courses. Railway communication be-
tween Leipzig and Hof, on the regular
Berlin-Munich route, is being main
tanned by relaying trains by round
about routes.
Federal and State authorities are
cooperating in the relief measures.
The rush Of persons to the disaster
zone is increasing hourly. many COM
ing from distant places to seek rela-
tives and friends.
Meteorological experts explain that
the catastrophe was due to the fact
that heat waves from the eastern
section of Germany. which had been
suffering from an unusual hot spell,
came into contact with cold air from
the west. causing windspouts and
subsequent cloudbursts.

ARREST EXPECTED

ROCKVILLE, Md. July 11.-Solu-
ton of the mysterious murder of Ed.
ward l.. Mills, 46 years, prosperous
| Hunting Hill dairyman, early last
Thursday morning was momentarily
expected at the courthouse here short
| ly after noon. while officials eagerly
awaited the return of States Attor-
ney Robert Peter. jr.. and Lieut..
James Manning, Baltimore crime
sleuth, from an investigation of what
was frankly declared to be "the hot
test and mos: promising clue yet OBJ.
tained.''
States Attorney Peter and Lieut..
Manning are said 10 be making a
thorough search for a man whom
formed them they believe to be the
slayer. One 6f the informants is GER
tain he can identity him.
This man is known to have been
missing both from his home and his
familiar haunts in Rockville ever since
the Mills murder. In the searching
the authorities admit that they still
hold to the theory that Mills actually
triangle and that the sensational con.
fession pinned to the dead mans coat
is valid clue to the motive for the
crime.
Arrest Would Cause Sensation.
The identity of the suspect is gen.
eral knowledge around the court.
house. and If he actually is arrested
1t Will cause sensation on account
OF his official standing. it was said
The description tallies with that given
by Clarence Miles, 20-year-old farm
hand and sole witness of the murder.
The information. which the authori-
ties are working on today was
brought to them late last night by
John Heagy, jr., son of a tombstone
maker of Rockville. Heagy said he
had met colored woman who had
seen the suspected man in a very ex-
cited mood shortly after the murder,
and that when he recognized her he
started to run in an opposite direction.
The colored woman told Heagy his
name. After Heagy had received the
information and given it to the
authorities they interviewed the
woman.
1t is said that the suspect is the
brother of the dead man, and other
members of the Mills family, have
from the start believed guilty.
Solution Is Predicted.
When the investigators rushed out
last night on the information they re-
ceived through Heagy it caused a fu-
rore of excitement about the court
house and confident prediction that
the solution of the murder was at
hand.
A careful examination of the five
bullets shot into Mills body by the
murderer has revealed that they prob
ably were of German origin and of
poor quality.
Young Miles, in company with his
brother, Clinton Miles. IS years old,
is still held a prisoner at the Rock
vile Jail, ostensibly for the Prince
Georges County authorities on a lar
ceny charge, but in reality as a ma
terial witness in the Mills murder.
