ity of that law and ovcrrucd Al
technical points dealing with Goa
duet of the trial on which Hickman

LONDON, July 5.-Captain AL
fred Loewcnstcin, mystery man of
international high finance, brought
his spectacular career to a myster-
ious end when he stepped last night
from a door Of one of his fleet Of
private airplanes as it sped across
the English channel, and dropped
into the sea.
To-day. while the Dunkirk fishing
fleet dragged the French coasts for
his body, stocks in Loewenstein $
companies slithered down in de
moralized fashion on the London
exchange.
Loewcnstein-sai by some to be
the third richest man i'll the world
started for Brussels at 6 p. m. yes
terdav from Croydon Airdrome near
London.
The airplane in which he travel
ed was big Fokker, one of many
he owned. He was a I:elgian, but
owned homes in England, France,
;:nd Belgium.
The flight was made in the
theatrc-likc circumstances attending
many Of Locwenstrin 5 activities.
With him were one of his staff of
! pilots, a mechanic, Il valet and two
! women secretaries.
In broad daylight the plane pass
] ed out over the English coast for
a 80 mile stretch across the channel
/ to Ostend, ON the Belgian coast.
Steps From Cabin
Somewhere about mid-channel,
Loewenstein left his seat in the
cabin and went to the rear of the
! llane, apparently to the retiring
/ room. For some time nothing was
! thought of his absence. Finally one
| of the other passengers went to seek
/ lam. There was no trace of him. In
/ some way Loewenstein had stepped
! out OF the entrance door to the
! cabin.
! The pilot of the plane was in
formed that Loewenstein was miss
/ ing.
He landed the plane on the sands
at Dunkirk, France, gave the alarm
! and proceeded to Stingalvcrt Air
drome, near Dunkirk.
From Dunkirk the fishing fleet
set out today to find the missing
fInancier S body.
On the London stock exchange
today shares in companies Loewen-
stein had controlled reacted in ner-
Nous fashion to his disappearance.
Many firms were understood to be
awaiting developments anXiouslv in
view of Loewenstein s extensive
activities and the element of mvs-
terry in his disappearance.
BOULOGNE,-. July 5.-Mme. AL
fred Loewenstein arrived at Stin.
calvert Airdrome at $50 a. m. to.
day after racing from Brussels by
automobile.
After search of the Fokker air
plane cabin from which her husband
disappeared, she ordered all who
had accompanied Loewenstein to
talk to no one but French officials.
Nine. Loewenstein left for Brus-
sells at noon.
BERLIN, July 5.-Stocks of com.
ahles IN which Captain Alfred
Locwenstem was interested broke
sharply on the Berlin Bourse today.
RumorS that Loewenstein had
committed suicide in his fall from
his cross channel airplane caused
holders of shares in his companies to
dump their holdings.
BRUSSELS, July 5.-Stocks of
companies controlled by Captain AL
fred Loewenstein slumped alarm
ingly today. Tubize silk fell 50a
francs and hydroelectric securities
700 francs.
An urgent meeting of the Stock
/ Exchange committee was called to
lcal with the situation.

 TOR MANY YEARS due to poor transportati facili- ties, and limited funds, the roads m Alaska were constructed mainly by hand-i e. pick and shovel and teams. As is the case in any pion- eer country, it was found to be too difficult and too expensive to ship in road machinery.
 That was not an unnlitigated evil, but in fact resulted very favor ably for the construction agency because in recent years, road build ing has been improved, standardiz- ed and cheapened-so that by the time that funds become available, much Of the rough advance work on the roads was completed, hith- erto isolated localities had become more accessible for the shipping in of machinery and now it might safely be said that the Alaska Road Commission is equipped with the latest, most up-to-date and eco- nomical equipment that it is possi- 5le and appropriate to be purchas- ed.
 'The Territory of course is not yet ready for concrete or asphalt roads-too much opening up of new country is demanded, and condi- tionG do not warrant such expendi- lures at present. But the gravel road has justified itself in every case, being strong enough to stand he wear and tear of traffic-pas- sable in all Weathers, and well adapted to the terrain.

PARIS, Aug. DISCRIMINATION
>-0f faith in the Kellogg antiwar pact
continued arriving in Paris today
from all parts of the world as the
last of the visiting diplomats, who
signed the treaty Monday, prepared
to leave for their homes.
This move to halt aggressive war
fare already has gained momentum
Forty-nine nations, besides original
gnatorieS, have been invited to
become part of this major move
to bring a universal peace. Many
nations already have indicated their
desire to line up with the great
powers.
1t was reported one nation had
urged her ambassador here to sign
the pact immediately Two South
q American countries and Mexico are
reported to have been wa ting Gag
erly for the invitation to adhere tc
international peace.
DR.. Gustav Stresemann, the Ger
man foreign secretary, left Tuesday
for Baden Baden for a rest. He has
been seriously i'll for several weeks
and was able to take part in none
of the elaborate receptions that the
French government outlined for the
visiting delegates.
The diplomats Tuesday we're
guests at lawn fete at the presi-
Dental palace at Rambouillet.
Frank B. Kellogg, United States
Secretary of State, originator of the
peace treaty signed Monday, was
given great ovation as he left Paris
this morning to embark for Ireland.
Several thousand persons, includ-
ing many workers, who arrived from
the suburbs, cheered the American
as he left the station at 8:05 a. m.
Kellogg's party included president
William H. CoSgrave of the Irish
free state.

This story breathes of the noun
tains, the streams and of the days
when men took the law into their
own hands in California.
Dermond starts his adventure
alone and finally he annexes the
entire membership of the San
Francisco Jail as we'll as the jailer.
In addition to the jailer, who an
swers to the name of Bejabers, a
British surgeon and minister who
hit the wrong trail.
It is the strange crowd that went
hunting for gold and it is this gang
that you will love. Kyne has placed
real men in his story.
The author has been very sue
ceSsful in picturing the life of the
Spanish Dons at time when Cali
fornia was just becoming a State.
With fine contrast, he pictures the
early foreign residents of California
to the Americans who over ran the
State and made it great State.
Of course our hero had stormy
time getting the girl he loved, but
Kyne assures you that the two love
birds will be married tomorrow and
live happily ever afterward."

BIZ United Press
EVANSTON, Ill, Aug. 29.-The
three survivors of a little party
which went out for a forbidden
boat ride on Lake Michigan told
of the heroism of their companion,
Fred Rummler, whose courageous
attitude as the four chung to al
overturned catboat kept the spirits
of the party up.
Rummler spent his strength en-
couraging his companions, Harold
Tarrant, 20; Marjory Oleson, daugh-
ter of a Chicago banker, and Shir-
ley Conlee, daughter of a bond
broker, telling them that soon q
boat would come by and pick
them up.
Then after fifteen hours clingine
to the bottom of the slippery boat
and just as rescue was nearing
the youths strength gave way and
he started slipping from the boat
Treated First as Joke
Tarrant dove after him three
times, but his efforts we're unavail-
ing and Rummler drowned shortly
before a coast guard crew arrived.
The three who we're saved told
today Of how puff of wind caught
their boat and threw the occupants
into the cold waters of Lake Mich
igan, how they treated it as a joke
at first, certain that rescue was near,
but how finally they began to fear
they never would be saved.
The wind came up and the waves
of the lake started tapping at their
legs, hanging over the sides of the
boat Rummler started urging them
to shout. He shouted continually,
and while he regained his breath
managed to keep the spirits of the
party from tagging with assurances
that a boat soon would appear.
Cling Is Hours to Boat
At dawn the four we're nearly ex-
hausted, but they continued hoping.
RummlerS strength started failing
and he could not stay on the boat.
The others were too exhausted and
miserable from the cold water to
hold him on.
In mid-morning, after an alarm
had been spread through the coast
guard stations, a cutter arrived.
1t reached the party just in time
to prevent another death Miss
Oleson had become so affected by
the strain that she started to swim
to shore, three miles distant.
The parents of the four had asked
them not to go for a ride.
