DELAWARE, Ohio, March 80 Qg--
United States Senator Frank B. wiz
lis candidate for the republican presi-
oenIlal nomination, died Of cerebral
helnorrhage here tonight, while in an
ante room at Gray's chapel, where
$500 persons had gathered to listen
to DelawareS son deliver a Campaign
address in a huge Homecoming ceie-
bratiOn.
He drew his last breath in an ante
room of the chapel OF Ohio WESLEYAN
university. On the stage, unaware Of
his passing, the Buckeye Glee club
OF Columbus was singing a campaign
song, Farewell"
Senator Willis died at 900 b. m.
when he fell into the arms Of his
secretary, Charles A. Jones, just as he
entered the ante room.
Senator Willis was lust. preparing
to speak when he became i'll. AS -se
left the stage with Mr. Jones, he
remarked: Jones, never felt this
way in my life. There is something
awfully wrong"
Then as they entered the ante
room, Mr. Jones said the senator
staggered, grasped desperately at the
wall and SlumpedI The secretary
caught him just before he reached
the floor
The senator called fee6ly for his
wife. She was summoned quietly of
the stage, only to enter the ante
room as her husband drew his last
breath

stage and announced:
"Mr Willis never will be with us
any more. He is gone from us for
all time"
He asked that all persons leave the
hall and allow only relatives to re-
main
The crowd, which only few NOM
ents before had participated in the
greatest political ovation Delaware
had ever known, had marched in q
torch light parade, had carried red
fire and had listened to band, was
stunned.
A moment of silence, then panoe-
monium. People jumped from their
seats and hurried from the hail. A
few, dumbfounded, could not move,
and sat glued to their seats. Tears
ran from the eyes of his old friends.
1t was half an hour before many could
believe the news
Five physicians were called to at
tend the senator; doctors Dorrance s.
James, 1. T. McCarty. Floyd v. Mil

cerebral hemorrhage.
Earlier in the evening Senator VIII

$l,7OC in CASH
GATHERED WHEN
SAFE Is ROBBED
Camp Jones Finance Off
GERS Quarters Visited by
Smooth Cracksman

One of the SmootheSt safe robberies
that has been reported In Douglas
for long time was discovered at
Camp Harry J. Jones Yesterday morn
ing when those employed in the
finance officers department reported
for duty Seventeen hundred dollars
had been the reward OF the thief
or thieves and SO deftly had they
pulled the job that they left no
clews behind and only good grounds
for an inference ttlat the work was
done by an experienced safe robber
who knew how to manipulate the
tunnblers of a safe by the sense Of
sound.
The robbery took place some time
between the closing hour of Thursday
aid the. opening hour yesterday
morning, according to Maj. j. E.
Greed. The thief was of selective
nature, taking nothing but currency.
There were a number Of checks in
the safe and also an amount Of
ccinS and stamps but none Of this
was bothered the currency which was
in bills ranging from five to twenty
dollar sizes. being the only item
missing.
Entrance tc the finance officers
quarters was gained by breaking a
glass in window that gave the
thief opportunity to reach within and
manipulate the lock on the door.
That done, he had easy access to
the room and once inside was alone
with ample opportunity to work the
lock on the safe to his hearts
content so that it is thought likely
that the job was done by an
experienced cracksman who preferred
to roll the tumplers When he had
the opportunity to taking a chance
on cracking the safe with explosive
When the robbery was reported to
Major Creed he Immediately took
the matter up with tne Douglas
police department and Assistant Chief
A. B. MurchIson went to the scene
and took photographs Of the safe and
everything that suggested possibility
of getting helpful prints. He then
took prints at their suggestion OF
all those who might have had ar
opportunity to be about the place
and in a short time it had been
demonstrated to the satisfaction oi
the officer that there was no sim
ilarity between any OF the prints
he had and those shown on the
safe. This result was declared tc

SIX ARMY CORPS

March Field FIiers Land in
Camp Jones Grounds
AS Night Falls

The parade ground at Camp Harry
j. Jones bore the appearance of some
great airdrome last night as six army
air corps DeHayiIand planes roared
out of the clouds of smoke above
the smelterS to the west and settled
down on the field The planes left
shortly before noon, stopped in
Tucson for gas apd arrived here SIS
minutes later
Messages TO officers at Camp Jones
earlier in the day had stated that
five planes would come. They are
on a cross country test flight but
viii be the guests Of the first bat
talon of the 25th at Camp Jones
over the weekend.
Three Of the planes hove in sight
at $50 p. m. and landed with good
light. The officers in charge inme-
diately asked that flares be prepared
or the parade ground for the other
planes, stating that three more would
be in shortly but would not make
it before dark.
The flares were prepared, five fires
built to show the landing direction.
The entire population of Camp Jones
and hundreds of people from Douglas
who had been attracted by the first
group of planes waited. Darkness
came and then out of the red glow
above the smelterS the three ships
appeared flying side by side and
coming on full tilt.
The flares were lighted and the
ships circled the field Through
some error in directions the first ship
took the ground at the wrong end
of the field but after laying heavily
on either wing while banking down
they struck evenly and the other two
ships 4 came coasting in one after
the other from the proper end of
the field and made perfect landings

FOUNDATION FOR BOULDER DAM
SOUND SAYS CALF. GOVERNOR

the two sites stood a pressure test
four times as severe as that sus-
tanned by the concrete in the st.
Francis dam.
"The failure of the St. Francis
dam need cause no apprehension
whatever regarding the safety of
the proposed Boulder, canyon
dan," said the governors message
to Congressman Swing.
The report of the investigating
commission also states that there
is nothing in the failure of the
st. Francis dam to indicate that
the accepted theory of gravity dam
design is in error or that there is
any question about the safety of
concrete dams designed in accord
ance with that theory when built
upon ordinarily sound bedrock, but
that on the contrary the action
of the middle section of the St.
Francis dam which remained
standing even under such adverse
conditions is most convincing evil
dence of the stability of such
structures when built upon such
firm and durable bedrock as is
present in Boulder canyon.

Senator Ladd Refused I'm
portunities of Hays to
Stop Probe, Said
TWO MEN TALK.
Former Colorado Senator
And Macarthur Relate
Story Ladd Told

WASHINGTON, March 30 iR-Sen-
ate Teapot Dome committeeman have
taken under advisement the question
of calling former Senator Alva B.
Adams Of Colorado, and Douglas H.
Macarthur, former secretary to the late
Senator Edwin F. Ladd, of North Da-
kota, for relation Of conversations they
had with Senator Ladd concerning ef-
forts of Will Fl. Hays to stop the oil
investigation in l92.
Both Adams, who then was mem
ber of the Teapot Dome committee,
and Macarthur said today that when
Senator Ladd was chairman of the
committee he had told them of visit
to Washington by Hays and his at
tempt to use political argument, on
Ladd to have him join forces with
other republicans of the committee to
stop the inquiry, which Senator Walsh,
democrat, Montana, then was vigor-
ously pressing.
AS Adams and Macarthur, who now
is secretary to Chairman Nye, of the
committee, related the story, Hays went
to the White House; summoned Ladd
there and then had him ride around
town in a taxicab while, the former
postmaster general and now a direc-
tor of the moving picture industry,
presented his reasons why the inquiry
should be closed.
Hays was quoted to them by Ladd
as having said that the inquiry had
become merely a political one, with the
democrats seeking to cast odium on
the republican party in connection
with the leasing of the Elk Hills,
Calf, and Teapot Dome, Wyo., naval
oil reserves
The North Dakota Independent who
later was read out of the republican
party councils by his senate colleagues,
finally became incensed by Hays argu
ments, the story goes, and made it
bluntly clear that he purposed to per-
form his duty as chairman irrespec-
tive Of the result on the republican or
any other party.
Adams was unable to recall the ex-
act time that Ladd told him the story,
whether it was before or after Hays
first appearance in March 1924, when
he failed to tell of the whole $3.50 900
contribution by Harry F. Sinclair to
wipe out the republican party debt,
The Teapot Dome committee held a
long executive session late today, but
without reaching a decision as to when
it would resume public hearings. Mem
bers said there had been a general
culling out Of letters and suggestions
sent to the committee from many
sources with a discarding of those
which ohvioIISlU would hear little frlIit
upon investigation.
This work will continue tomorrow
and after some of the more promis-
ing of the leads have been brought
under investigation the committee will
decide whether to proceed with the
public hearings or to await further ef-
forts of the field investigators in run

Willis Death Ends
Spectacular Fight
In Ohio Campaign

WASHINGTON March 80 (R--The
death of Senator Willis ibrings to an
end one of the most spectacular con-
tests in the republican presidential
campaign, but at the same time leaves
Ohio republican politics in tangle
whose solution it is difficult to fore
see.
Senator Willis and Herbert Hoover
were entered against each other in
the Ohio primaries to be held April
"a. Under the Ohio law it is neces-
sary Cor candidate to express his
willingness to enter the primary and
expired more than month ago.
Whether it viii be possible to re-
move Senator Willis name from the
situation is ior the Ohio leaders to
decide 1t also will emean for the
senator's friends to determine whether
they will now give up the campaign
against Hoover anu permit the dele
cation to go to him by defaut, or
whether they will attempt to continue
the fight in Senator Willis name with
a view to swinging the delegation

date.
If the later course is adopted, it
is assumed that an attempt would be
made to line up Ohio delegates for
one of those candidates who have
expressed g. willingness to join forces
with the Willis contingent in Ohio
and have entered the April "a pri-
marieS as second choice candidates
Those SO entered include Frank O
fLowden of Illinois.
The Ohio contest between Senator
Willis and Secretary Hoover has beer
a dramatic one from the beginning
When he first announced his candl-
dacy the senator hoped to have the
state without opposition.
The several other Ohioans who hao
been mentioned for the preSideScy
all stood aside Some other Ohio
leaders, however, including Represen-
tative Theodore Burton and Walter
F.. Brown of Toledo, felt that thf
senator really had no prospect OF
securing the nomination and that
Ohio should fall in line with the fast
developing boom for Secretory Hoover
Mr.. Hoover did not announce his de-
cision until few days before The
time for filing expressions OF willing
ness had expired His announcement
that he would enter the primary was
hailed by both the Willis and Hoover
supporters An Ohio as forecasting ar
unusually vigorous campaign in a
state whose voting strength made II
an important factor in the pre-con-
vention situation.
Senator Willis was only beginning
his speech-making in Ohio when NJ
died tonight at Delaware. He hac
been making weekend trips back
to his home state, delivering an ad-
dress or two on these occasions. He
had planned, as the primary date
/ approached. to spend much more time

SACRAMENTO, March 80 tRl-
Assurance that the foundation Of
