good old doc. when I had paid his
monthly bill: he always has some help

inquest today was continued without
disclosing any clues.
Police recalled, however, that Clay
had been mentioned as a suspect when
Big Tim" Murphy, former labor
leader. racketeer and mail robber, was
shot to death in his own dooryard a
few months ago. big Tim," it was
reported, was contemplating entering
the cleaning and dyeing field and had
encountered opposition from those al
ready in it.
The other theories that enemies
within his organization had killed Clay
or that those wanting to take over his
power and influence had removed him
were supported by the fact that the
various cleaning and dyeing organiZa-
tions recently had engaged in several
disputes over their power and the field
in which each should operate.
Edward F. Nockels, secretary of the
Chicago Federation of Labor. charged
that Clay was killed by persons wanting
to seize $250,000 he said was in the
treasury of the Laundry Drivers Union
Clay he declared was not racketeer
but a member of recognized union
and had been engaged in union labor
organization work for years.
Ralph Capone, younger brother OF
"Scarface AL" Capone, was sought for
questioning tonight by the police. who
said he may be the key man in solving
the mystery. The younger Capone

CALDER Of AIR
CADETS IMPROVES
10 Per Cent of July | Glasses
Are College Graduates,
Fechet Reports.

The effects of the tremendous ex-
pansion of commercial aviation activ-
tiles in the United States have been
keenly felt by the Army Air Corps dur
ing the past year, 1t is shown by the
annual report of Maj. Gen. James E.
Fechet, chief of the corps, to the Sec
retary of War, made public last night.
Due to the increased interest in avia-
ton, the caliber of flying cadets enrolled
at the primary flying schools has been
greatly improved and approximately 70
per cent of the cadets entering the July
l classes were college graduates Pros
poets for the betterment of the commits
stoned personnel situation in the Army
Ar Corps during the coming year are
bright, Gen. Fechet reported.
The number of enlisted pilots, how
ever. has steadily decreased, due pri-
marily to the fact that increased COM
mercial flying activities have made it
possible Tor these men to obtain better
pay in civil life or in other Government
aviation agencies and there is danger
OF the small corps of enlisted pilots dis
appearing completely. It is recommend
ed that the status of flying cadets be
improved by legislation.
Too Few Flight Surgeons.
Gen. Fechet declares that the num-
Der of flight surgeons on duty with the
Air Corps is totally inadequate" to
handle the business of the corps, as the
work required Of them has trebled since
1921, without any material increase in
the personnel to handle the work. The
total number of physical examinations
for the fiscal year numbered about TO-
600, Gen. Fechet reported, with only 58
flight surgeons available to perform
them.
Great advances in radio communica-
tions have been made possible through
the Use of three -motored CO Fokker
transport plane fitted up as a radio
laboratory at Wright Field, Dayton.
Ohio, General Fechet reported. This
plane has been equipped recently with
special instruments to conduct research
work on problems in aerial navigation.
