AIR mail COST LESS
Price Falls as Transport
Planes Stay Up.

BIZ Times Special
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-Starting
at So pound, the contract price
for carrying air mail has been re-
duced over one route to Sill and
is still trending downward, 1t was
revealed at the postoff1ce depart
ment today.
This downward trend is attributed
to the interest in aviation mani
tested all over the country.
1t is also attributed to the dis
covery by air mail contractors that
what was considered risky VEN
ture a year ago, is becoming an es-
tablished industry.

SEEKING OIL. ON
5000 ACRES OF
LAND IN INDIANA
Company Headed by "Gol-
den Rule" Nash Makes
Test.
BIZ Times Special


Upton, Ind, Aug. Six thou
sand acres land in Upton, Madison
and Grant counties is under lease
for oil drilling by company head
ed by Arthur Golden Rule) Nash,
wealthy clothing manufacturer of
Cincinnati, Ohio, and the first test
hole is being drilled on the farm of
William Steele, fifteen miles north
east of here.
Associated with Nash in the oil
venture is Thomas E. Dean of Tip
ton County. Nash at one time lived
at Rigdon, Ind. and 1t was during
recent visit to the scenes of his
boyhood that he decided to make a
search for oil in the three counties.
1t is his intention to put down two
test holes at cost of $4,000. Farm
ers in the vicinity of Alexandria, in
Madison County, we're offered per
cent proposition by Nashs represen-
tatives end practically all land
owners signed.
The scene of the present test re-
calls finding of oil near Rigdon
twenty-five years ago. At one time
the area was the heart of the Indi-
ana gas belt, and the present pros
pectors are proceeding on the theory
that oil is found in the wake of gas.

BOSTON ALARM
RISES AS DEATH
MOMENT NEARS
Bombings and Presence of
Heavy Police Guard
Arouse Citizens.
BY RUTH FINNEY

BOSTON, Aug. 9.-Death, which
did not interest this commonwealth
of Massachusetts so long as only
Sacco and Vanzetti were to die,
absorbs the thought of all it's people
now that they fear for their own
lives.
Boston is afraid since it read
newspaper headlines echoing the ex-
plosion of bombs in five other cities.
Four times as many guards as
were called for emergency duty in
the Boston police strike have been
modified and are eating and sleep
ing at their stations. Machine guns
and gas bombs have been prepared
for instant use. Streets have been
blocked off near the prison.
AS In Witch Days
The same stern, though fearful
determination that envelops this city
must have hung over Salem on days
when witches we're to be burned.
For witches were burned in the
name of God and public law and
order, by men and women who were
afraid.
That was only about 200 years ago.
Old laws that were framed by the
witch burning men are on the
statute books still; and people living
here today have old fears in their
hearts though they belong to a diff
ferent day.
In the foreign quarter of the city
all is quiet, on the surface at least.
Their two fellow immigrants are
going to die Some of these people
believe, because of class hatred, but
whatever resentment they are feel
ing they do not show opnly.
Friends Fight On
At the Sacco- Vanzetti defense
headquarters shabby room up two
flights of stairs are only the same
tired, discouraged faces that have
been there every day for so long.
These men and women are worn
and nervous at this disastrous eli
max of their seven years battle to
save the two condemned men, and
vet mistaken in their belief that
Sacco and Vanzetti are innocent.
The bombings, they feel, have
made their task more nearly impos-
sible
Though, as they say, there has
been no evidence to connect these
tragedies with Sacco-V anzetti SYM
pathizers, the people generally have
linked the two in their minds, and
public reaction seems to be that,
whatever officials have done. they
must not "let themselves be bluffed"
by terrorists.

declared here today to be the fast
est moving figure in the presiden-

group. They are Postmaster Gen.

Many of the latter have been as
ISOLATED with Hoover in his work
