 Reid took off for Washington on the scheduled time, but for some reason. Pitcairn officials believe that it may have been motor trou- ble. for there was no fog. Reid was forced to land.
 He dropped two flares b"t was too low for them to light and n, was forced to come down with only his landing lights to guide him. II, therefore did not see an embank- ment at the end of the field, and rolled over 1t while still travelling at high speed.

Physician Slain

DlghtOn. kans.. May 26 Pl-- Reused by the staying of physician called to dress the wounds of one of four desperadoes who Wednesday killed two officials of a bank at La mar. Col, hundreds of possemen from four states today were patrol ing the rough country north of here. Discovery of the body of Dr. w. w. Wineinger of Dghton. near Oak ley in West Central Kansas yester- day. centered the search in that dis trict. The physician was lurcd from his home here Thursday night by a man who said friend had been in- iured in a tractor accident. The doc tors body was found by road about % miles south of Oakley. He had been shot in the head and had been dead only a short time when officers reached the scene shortly after noon. His automobile had been pushed over an embankment. A note scrawled on shove box cover was found in the car. It said:
 "Oh, you murderers-ye-Drs. sweet TtNtuSt prise."
 Note Is Baffling.
 While officers were unable 10 link the note with previous developments it was thought that the wounded robber may have died while under going treatment and that Dr. Wine finger was slain when the three des- peradoes resumed their flight with out the handicap of caring for their companion. There is town named Enterprise in Dickinson county, in West Central Kansas.
 Finding of the physicians body increased fears for the safety Of F.. A. Kessinger. assistant cashier of the First National bank of Lamar who was kidnapped after the robbers shot the cashier and president and fled with upwards of $20, 900 in cash and Liberty Bonds.

 Kings Bay, Spitzbergen. May 26 tF--Fear was entertained for the safety of the dirigible Italia this morning when the hours passed without any word of the airship returning from the North Pole.
 At S:30 a. m. there was nothing new regarding General Cmberto Mobiles craft. She had been away from her base almost 60 hours at that time.
 May Have Hit Mountain
 One suggestion advanced is that ''l' Aii CAAsp iliEIL lldNt CpllIutu WllH a high mountain in northern Spitz- bergen during her flight southward through a fog. One of these moun- tains is 1,S00 meters high.
 The base ship Citta Di sMlano was ready to sail and had coal enough aboard for 8 cruise of 10 days. It was expected that she would start fsnt En pt b {y, 1, ing ship this afternoon. There was strong north wind this morning. It was known that the airship had bat tied with strong winds practically Her entire trip. The Italia reported on Thursday that the winds were sometimes so strong that she was actually forced backward.
 Had to Buck Wind
 AS the Italia was making her way 10 the North Pole on Wednesday after leaving Kings Bay at 4:4o a. ln., she faced northwest wind, Starting her return flight from the Pole on Thursday at c:30 a. m., she had to buck southwest wind. When she changed to an easterly tOuTsc lHe WlHu feeTeu tO the nOTtu- west.
 It seemed probable that the air. ships wireless had been silenced by the cold. The gondola in which the apparatus is situated is small and it must have been frigid place during the flight, under the prevail ing conditions. It was very cold here all night. A northerly wind blew and all the mountain tops were nbscured by fog.
 Have Equipment
 Should the Italia be down on the arctic wastes it carries equipment to enable the crew of IS including Gen. eral Mobile to fight their way toward safety. This includes ski sledges. Canadian snow shoes and sleeping sacks of reindeer skin.
 The difference between Spitz- bergen time and eastern standard time is six hours. When 1t is S:30 8. m. in Kings Bay 1t is 2:30 a. m. oaStarp ctopdard fip,o

5000 mothers Of children have been
employed in the fields this summer
and auturun, and are still at work
in canning. Altho the laws of New
Jerse yand of Pennsylvania are sup
posed TO make Ia years of age the
minimum age at which child may
work, the power of the large can

state legislatures to provide that

per cent of the children working in
the fruit and vegetable harvesting
and canning industries in this sec
ton were under 10 years of age.
The child workers have been able to

duction, "At the Edge of the
World" which the Detroit Motion
Picture Guild has secured for an ex-
elusive Detroit showing. Instead of
dealing with. love as it is today, this
remarkable new film presents an in
depreciation of romance as it may
be many years from now. The
story, its location and it's characters
are fictional and are not connected
with any particular country or
time. The beauty of the picture is
that the events it relates might hap

timely and interesting.

is much cheaper 20 pay a cent in

The british imperialist, Baldwin,
has sent out letters, in an inspired
election campaign maneuver, urging
county officials to raise Especial

Baldwin will make another move in
an attempt to blind the miners into
accepting their condition as I'M
changeable when he will announce
tomorrow that the government will
make q grant of money out of its
treasury for the miners.
All these funds, finding their
source in the explciters Of the min

bosses, and very cheap ones, to keep
the workers down and prevent them
from taking what is theirs.

A New Russian Director Makes
HIS Bow on American Screen

THE background of the new school
of Russian directors differ radi-
eally from one another. Eisenstein
was a professor of mathematics be-
fore he was attracted to stage di-
rection and subsequently to the
screen. Pudowkin, director of "The
End of st. Petersburgh," was a
chemist and has recently appeared
in films and gives evidence of re-
markable screen talent. The third
member of this group, intro
duced to the American public thru
his film The Yellow Pass" a Sow
kino production, which opened at the
Cameo Theatre last week, is a jour
nalist by profession. Soon after the
revolution he attached himself to a
group Of film enthusiasts in Mos
cow who went under the name of
Film Collective Russ. This group,
which was destined to make history
in the Russian cinema, also included
Eisenstein and Pudowkin.
Otzep came to the cinema well
grounded in the field of dramatic
literature and his first task was
passing on the suitability of seem
ario manuscripts both from the
theoretical and practical standpoint.
His talent for writing original seem
arios soon developed and Otzep's
pen is responsible for many nota-
BILE film.
1t is not generally known that the,
director of "The Yellow Pass" is
also the author of the scenario
"Polikushka," film that ranks
the foremost masterpieces
of modern cinema.
When he was offered an oppor-
tunity to direct a film, he eagerly
accepted and it is astonishing to OBJ
serve that his first film, "The yell

achievement as to place Otzep in the
foremost ranks Of film directors
who are subtly imaginative in their
technique.
Influenced to a certain degree by
and Pudowkin, at the
same time Otzep indicates that he
has individual qualities to contribute
to the art of film making. He util-
ICES both the instruments of realism
and also dramatic elements for his
effects and in that sense he has
utilized some of the fundamental
qualities of the established studios.
Otzep is now working on Toll
stoy's "The Living Corpse" which
is now being acted on the stage in
this country by Alexander Moissi
under the name of Redemption"
One of the astonishing points about
this undertaking is that the part of
Fedya will be played by Pudowkin,
the director of "The End of ST..
Petersburgh."

Charges against Antonio Garcia

ton of the Wright act were dis
missed yesterday by Municipal
Judge Ballard. The judge criticized
the police for their methods of dis
guising stool-pigeons as enlisted

The testimony showed that police
Operatives" had donnad sailors
uniforms and deliberately accosted
the defendants, urging them to sell
them some liquor because they
didn't get ashore very often"
"Such tactics are unethical, I'M
American and show base disrespect
for the official insignia of the navy"
the court declared as the defendants
were released.
That the police used to urge

TO crush the labor movement is also
a fact-proven time and again.
