GERMAN PARTY
| 5 MASSACRED
IN west China

NEW YORK, Aug. 80 tP)-The New
York World saws DR.. Wilhelm Filchner,
former staff officers Of the imperial
German army and NOTED explorer, ana
all of the members of an expedition
he was leading have been reported
massacred by natives Of the western
part of Szechuan province, China.
rThe Worlds wireless station today
picked up a German trans-ocean WIRE
less press message to the effect that
British resident of Sikkim, in the
northern part of India, just south OF
Tibet, had reported that Filchner and
his party had been killed.
This report said the explorers party
included an American, v. G. Splyner,
of the Assembly of God mission, and
an Englishman named Watkinson, OF
the China Inland mission. 1t was said
they were crossing the wild and noun
famous central part of China bound
for India, and before entering Szechuan
province were warned by missionaries
that it would be perilous to continue
their journey. They were said to have
disregarded these warnings.
Ezechuan province is just east OF
Tibet where Filchner first won fame
as an explorer by risking his life
among the "devil worshippers" and
penetrating forbidden regions. Most
of his maine grew out of his leadership
of German south polar expeditions
prior to the outbreak of the World
war.

Coolidge Holds
Open Mind
CONTINUED from Page one)

o. B. Zimmerman, spokesman for
the agricultural engineers, presented
report asking the government to
give impetus to study OF the
problem of transfer of surplus farm
population to the industrial centers.
The report which the president lis
tened to atentively also suggested
study should be made to deter
mine how greater production per
worker and lowering Of the cost of
production might be brought about.
Greater research work by the gov
ernment also was urged by Ole
Hanson, general manager of the
creamery association. He declared
money would be spent better this
way than in guaranteeing the 'in-
dividual farmer fixed sum on his
present low production average which
would in. reality only be putting a
premium on inefficience."
Tomorrow the president plans to
attend the dedication of Camp Cool
idge, the South Dakota Boy Scout
camp which is about ten miles from
the state game lodge. Thursday he
will go to Newell and Nisland, S. d.
He has decided against g trip to
ba dlands, a long stretch of pecu-
liar rock formations in this part OF
the state. An all-day trip would be
required and he feels time does not

IN CUSTODY ON
INSANE CHARGE

LOS ANGELES, Aug. 30 R-Ad
Wolgast, one time Michigan Bear
cat" and former lightweight champion
OF the world, was taken into custody
here today on an insanity complaint
sworn to by an associate of Jack
Doyle, boxing promoter, who five
years ago was appointed guardian
for the former fighter
During those five years Wolgast,
who had nothing left of the fortune
he made in the squared ring, has
been a fixture about the Jack Doyle
gymnasium. Friends declare him in
splendid physical condition, as he has
trained steadily during those years
for phantom" match-for a bout
which he believed was to be another
"shot" at the crown he once held.
Wolgast has been appearing daily
at the gymnasium with request for
sparring partners. He seemed sat
isfied, according to Doyles associates,
with the assurance that they would
be ready for him tomorrow"
Officials of the gymnasium said the
insanity complaint was made since
Wolgast had become quarrelsome and
it was difficult to control him. Hear
ing on the complaint was set for
September 6.
Wolgast, who is SO years old, was
born in Cadillac, Mich. lie won the
title in a fight with Battling Nelson
at Point Richmond, across the bay
from San Francisco, in 1910. The
referee counted Nelson out after 40
rounds of fierce slugging and punch
ing. Wolgast dropped the title in

Captain Hamilton Leaves
This Morning On Flight
To Canada.

UPAVON, England, Aug. 81 Q9
Captain Leslie Hamilton and
Col #. +. Minchin started at
transatlantic flight to Ottawa,
Canada.
Princess LOwenstein Wertheim,
who is financing the flight, was
aboard the plane, the st. Raphael.
UPAVON, England Aug. 81 NP--
Captain Leslie Hamilton was making
preparations shortly after a. m.
this morning to start on his trans
Atlantic flight to America. He planned
to be accompanied by Col. F. F.

When Hamilton and Minchn came
On the flying field in readiness to
start their flight to Ottawa, Canada
they found wind blowing from
the east at about 35 miles an hour
They took their plane, the ST
Raphael, from one field to another
to gain the best position for the
take off.
Princess Lowenstein drove on the
field while the aviators were pre-
pairing to leave. She became SO in
terested in the preparations and
prospects that she suddenly said she
had altered her mind and would &c
with them.
Princess Lowenstein was ACCOM-
panied by the Most Rev. Francis
Mostyn, Roman Catholic archbishop
of Cardiff, who blessed the plane
and bade the airmen Godspeed. The
prelate said he wished he might &c
with them.
She was undeterred by the fact
that British military flight officers
under Wing Commander Vernon
Brown were suspicious of the weather
and warned Hamilton that they
doubted he would be able to take
off in such a wind with a heavy
load OF four and one half tons OF
fuel
The officers had also received a
report that the fliers would have
to face a headwind of about ten
miles an hour over the Atlantic
Hamilton and Minchin, however, con-
tinued their preparations and supplies
for the trip were put aboard the
plane. These consisted of emergency
army rations for two days, strong
coffee in a vacuum bottle and "sleep

Isle beach here last Thursday, Mrs.
Redfern is confident that at the
hour the plane was reported seen, it
would have been near fuel exhaustion

Should the Venezuelan report
prove groundless, Mrs. Redfern said
she believed her husband landed on
some island of the West Indies.
Before leaving Redfern smilingly
told relatives not to be alarmed
should they not hear from him in
six months. He pointed out that he
was prepared for an indefinite stay
in the jungles or at sea if forced

NEW YORK, May 12.-The cotton
market opened steady today at an ad-
vance of to points. and showed
eonsiderabl firmness in early trading
on higher late cables from Liverpool,
reports of improving demand for cot
ton goods in Manchester, and less
favorable view of the weather outlook.
Covering or rebuying by recent
sellers and probably some fresh buy
ing on the advance carried prices up
to 1887 for July and 1915 for pecem-
Der, or about IL to 90 points net high
er by the end of the first hour.
Showers were reported in East Texas
and Louisiana, and the map was re-
Rarded in some quarters as indicating
further showers in these sections.
Private cables said Liverpool was
lower early under liquidation, but had
rallied on trade buying to fix prices
on call cotton.
There was some selling on the fail
ure of the weather map to show quite
as much rain as expected, but the Of
ferings were comparatively small and
were absorbed on correspondingly mod
crate reactions. At midday the mar
ket was quiet, with July selling around

Lack of rain in the west Texas cotton
belt and better Liverpool cables re-
suited in gain Of s to points at the
