NO TRACE OF EWING
Ak Slayer Suspect Believed
in Kentucky Hills.

Willard Ewing, alleged ak slayer
Of his wife, Mrs. Zenith Burris
Ewing and her stepfather, David o.
Boyles, both of 2343 Brookside Ave-,
has reached refuge in the hills of
Kentucky, his former home, police
believe.
Unless Kentucky authorities rec
ognize descriptions of Ewing from
the circulars and letters sent to all
parts of the State, there is little
chance of him being captured.
Detective Stages returned from
Bedford today and informed. .Detec-
tive Chief Claude F. Johnson that
a man bus driver picked up south
of Bedford and took to a junction
where he might get bus for New
Albany, probably was Ewing. This
was two days after the bodies of
Mrs. Ewing and her stepfather were
found Monday near Mt Comfort.
The Times was in error in saying
in it's Saturday issue that James
Heath had reported that his wife
was positive in her identification of
a man in the neighborhood as being
Ewing. She had stated that she had
seen man who bore slight re-
sembiance to Ewing's description
there.

Had No Validity.

RH United Press
WASHINGTON, Oct. 24.-Plung-
ing deeper into the circumstances
surrounding the leasing Of Teapot
Dome the Government prosecutors
in the Fall-Sinclair conspiracy trial

E. Eddy of the interior department
to the effect that:
/. The claims to Teapot Dome,
which Harry F. Sinclair paid $1,000,-
900 to get out of the way, previously
had been declared without "a
shadow of validity" after investiga-
ton by interior department investi-
gators.
2. Sinclair brought up these claims
after Albert B. Fall, then secretary
of interior, had said they must be
out Of the way before the reserve
could be leased.
3. Reports in connection with
these claims declared there was no
Offset well problem (arising from
drainage). The defense had stressed

BROKEN VALVE
HALTS SEA HOP
Twin Motors All That En-
able Return of Plane.
BN United Press

BN United Press
OLD ORCHARD. Maine, Oct a.
"A broken valve stem was revealed
today as the motor defect which
yesterday forced the amphibian
plane the Dawn to return here
about ten Lours after it had started
for Copenhagen.
Inspection of the crippled motor
by mechanics, working under the di-
rection of T. Harold Kinkade,
Wright motor expert, showed a
broken stem in the exhaust valve
of No. cylinder.
Only the fact that the Dawn has
twin motors enabled Mrs. Francis
Wilson Grayson and her two COM
panions to fly back to Old Orchard
after encountering engine trouble
near Sable Island, 500 miles away.
After locating the trouble this
morning, Kinkade wired the Wright
Motor Company. What steps would
be taken to correct the defect would
depend upon the company's answer
to his message, he said.
"There will be no flight until we
are assured that the motor is again
in perfect condition." Mrs. Grayson
said, expressing the hope, however,
that she would be able to make a
new start soon.

by National Bank Examiner j. F.
UT of Chicago, this morning.
Mrs. Grace Banta Urbahns, State
Treasurer, said that the State had
$150,000 on deposit last week, but
had withdrawn $4,000, for current
expenses. She said she had had
no indication of the banks condi-
ton.
A dispatch from Lagrange said
that run on the bank had lasted
several days.
UT declared that the closing was
deemed advisable because public
opinion, which I regard as un-
founded, caused a run of several
days."
The examiner said he had not
had time to make detailed sur

been here only two days.
The bank is capitalized at $780,

RESUME TRIAL
OF CH|CAGO's
SCHOOL Chief
Mayors Counsel Ready for
New Attacks on British
Historical Works.
LIBRARY DRIVE PUSHED
Thousands of Volumes May
Be Burned, Says Censor
for Big Bill
BIZ United Press


CHICAGO, Oct 24.-Three major
Developments today assumed proml-
nence in Mayor William Hale
Thompson's fight to "rid Chicago
schools of pro-British influence"
Foremost in the controversy was
the reopening of the hearing OF
Superintendent of Schools William
McAndrew, on trial charged with
"pro-Britishism."
Former Congressman John j.
German, delegated by the mayor to
investigate histories now used in the
Chicago schools, was to resume the
stand in the hearing before the
school board.
German was expected to accuse
at least three more historians OF
"favoring England" in histories they
have written. He has been sued for
100000 by DR.. David Muzzey OF CO.
lumbia University.
Attack on Professor
Muzzeys suit originated from an
attack which German made on
history written by the Columbia pro-
fessor.
The other two major points in the
battle were:
l. The beginning Of drive to
purge Chicago's library of "all pro-
British books" This work is to be
done by U. J. (SporO Hermann, ap-
,ooi,,ted Io1y rTIor1onc0o
2. The publication of stenographic
reports gathered by the Thompson
forces which will show that there
are powerful influences in the Uni
Versity Of Chicago which are setting
the British Lion on school pupils.
German said he could prove that
a class of Chicago public school
teachers had "rebelled against study
Of school history" written by Mel
Ter Schlesinger, used as textbook
by Prof. c.. H. Mclaughlin, head
Of the history department of the
University of Chicago.
Will Burn Offending Books
Hermann has orders to gather
all the British books in Chicago'S
library and burn them He as
serted there are several thousand
of these.
However, Carl B. Roden, head
librarian here, and president OF the
American Library Association, said
he didn't believe there are more
than twelve books, at most, which
can possibly be objected to-"
Roden said he is willing to help
Hermann search for the books, but
declared he had no knowledge "of
a conscious effort on the part Of
Britain to subsidize American his
torians."
Meanwhile, one pastor entered the
fight from his pulpit Sunday. DR..
R. A. White, pastor of the Peoples
Independent Church of Englewood,
scoffed at Thompson.
Look fv= 2sSiss, He Warns
"It is curious" he said, that in
this frenzy against British propa-
ganda these superintendent crit
les have failed to discover the ra-
cial and religious propaganda in
Chicago.
For instance, the organized Reds
from Moscow are said to be pour
ing their wares into our schools and
universities / wonder if our mayor
is not barking UP the wrong tree?"

GUARD HUMIDITY IN HOME
Degree of Moisture Important Fac
tor in Ven tia ton.
ing Trans criDt.

From the Boston Evening Transcript.
Home ventilation is a perplexing
matter, The tendency is to watch
temperature and worry not at all
about humidity. This Is a serious mis-
take. Humidity, or the degree of
moisture which air contains, is the
important factor when considering
proper ventilation. Lack of moisture
in the air breathed can and often does
cause catarrh and other diseases of
the nose and throat.
Radiator heat is dry, moisture is
lacking; it is unnatural heat and is
the direct cause of much illness and
discomfort. To remedy this condi
ton a radiator cover has been design
ed with a patented humidifier which
automatically furnishes the proper
amount of moisture to the air
Cp-to-date builders and decorators
are discarding the makeshift wooden
radiator covers heretofore in use,
realizing that in cost, durability. beau
ty and usefulness they do not COM
pare with these beautiful steel hui
covers. The one, they have
concluded, is a costly makeshift. while
the other is a useful, substantial and
attractive piece of furniture
Radiators are unsightly necessities,
but these new covers transform them
into pieces of decorative furniture
harmoniZing with surrounding color
schemes, including any of the natural
wood finishes. Further, these covers
lessen cleaning labor
