Start End
Bomb Set Off When Auto

Ex-BootIegger.

NEW YORK, July 2.-Benja-
IN min Kanowitz, who quit
bootlegging two years ago for the
sake of his infant son, was blown
to pieces Sunday night by bomb
attached to the starter of his au-
tomobile.
When Kanowitz gave up the
liquor business to become a fruit
and realty dealer, he and his wife
believed there would be no more
cause to fear for his life. He long
since has ceased to receive the
threats which are a bootlegger's
lot in the big city.
Last night he brought his FAM
lily home from a trip to New
Jersey and was playing with his
3-year-old son, Joseph, when he
rendered that he had not put his
auto in the garage.
Going out to the curb he
stepped into the drivers seat and
pressed the starter. The bomb, at
tached to the electric starter, ex-
ploded.
Kanowitz's left leg was torn off
and his body was hurled through
the back of the car into the
rumble seal.

Many Summer PeriIs
by OLE CAVLING
United Press stan Correspondent

COPENHAGEN, July 2. The
summer season has started in the
Arctic area where twenty-one men
now are lost-most of them mem
bers of the crew of the Inflated
dirigible Italia--and fears increased
today that many would never be
brought out alive.
The fate of six men floating
helplessly on an ice foe Off Foyn
Island particularly created atten-
ton. Included in this group is
Lieut.. Einer-Paal Lundborg, the
Swedish flier who so dramatically
rescued Umberto Mobile and then
became stranded himself.
Summer Increases PeriIs
Knud Rasmussen, the noted
Swedish explorer, said that be-
ginning of the summer season had
increased the dangers and diff
culties for crews attempting to
rescue the Italia crew. Melting ice,
such as that on which Lundborg
and five companions now await,
is floating toward the open sea.
Rasmussen said the ice foes
were the heaviest in many years,
and that they would offer fair
place of refuge, provided the men
had sufficient clothes, shelter and
guns. Clothing and guns were
dropped to the six men by airplane
recently, but so far as is known
the group has only one silken tent
as shelter from the northern
climate.
Fears for Roald Amundsen, who
set out so courageously with five
companions to rescue the Italia's
crew, grew as each day passed
without word from the Latham
flying machine.
Fear Amundsen Dead
Amundsen, Rene Guilbaud, Lief
Dietrichson and three companions
left Tromsoe, NorN ay in the big
French plane, June 18.
Helmer Hansen, South Pole
companion of Amundsen, and Peter
Freuchen, another noted explorer,
minimized chances of Amundsen'sI 4
being rescued. They agreed with
the theory that the French planf
had been forced down on the ope
sea and that the machine had oyd
burned, perhaps drowning the
occupants.

1900 men TO
Be GIVEN JOBS
in BODY PLANT
Murray Corporation Will
Resume Operations in
Mid July.
$4,000 ON PAY ROLL
Entire Force Expected to
Be Employed Nine Hours
Daily Rest of Year.
$4,000 ON PAY ROLL

Murray Corporation of America S
indianapolis Plant No. 9, 1901 W.
Morris ST., closed since June is, will
reopen with 1900 men on July 16, it
was announced today by G. G. Mad
son, plant superintendent.
This means that an additional
$35 900 to $4,000 weekly will be
added to the present pay roll of In
dianapolis.
Notice to former employees has been
published by the management, ask
ing them to report to the plant on
July IL. At that time about 300
will be put to work, Madison said,
and 1000 more will be added on
July 16.
1t is expected to keep the entire
force at work nine hours day for
the remainder Of the year. The
shutdown was brought about by
over supply of automobile bodies, all
of which are used by the Marmon
Motor Car Company.
Marmon officials stated today that
there are now thousands of orders
on the books, and that it is expected
that the body plant would be some
time catching up with them.
A normal force and normal pro-
duction rate is expected to be main
tanned, rather than resortng to a
night shift plan, Madison said. In
this way it is expected employees will
be assured of continuous employ
ment.
In putting on the new force,
nearly all workmen will be drawn
from the ranks of those who were
employed when the plant shut down.

Hearing the rush of the water,
the men barely had time to reach
travelway, crawl into safety holes
and make their way to the No. l

The dam, of concrete and steel,
had been weakened by the heavy

ROME, July 2.-Three great

Majors Maddalena and Penzo--
scared over a wide area around the
encampraent of Lieutenant Vigieri,
Sunday, attempting to find trace OF
the lost envelope of the dirigible
Italia, but we're forced by fog to
return.
The supply ship, Citta De Milano,
advised this morning that the three
big planes had departed and then
returned to their base at Virgo
Bay.
Unable to Land on Ice
Other airplane expeditions-in-
cluding one in which Finnish
plane had intended to make a land
ing near the Viglieri encampment
have been Cancelled owing to fog,
and also owing to advice that a
landing now is impossible.
Viglieri advised the smaller Fin
nish planes they would be unable to
land on the ice, which rapidly is
breaking up The planes, ciroiing
in reconnoitering tours, found heavy
fog in the vicinity Of Cape Leigh
Smith.
The hiers reported, after they had
returned to Virgo Bay, that wind
had freed large areas of the north
eastern coast of Northeastland. The
ice has broken notieeably, and many
canals run through the frozen over
territory.
Canals May Aid Rescue
1t was believed here that these
new canals would expedite the work
of the Russian ice cutter Krassin,
which now is eighteen miles west
of Parri Island.
The Krassni will attempt to break
away the ice leading to the camp
whereon six men now are held
prisoner, and it is believed that,
with the canals formed, the ship
will be able to move through much
more swiftly.

The Washing ngtonians have now'
dropped six games in succession for
one reason or another and are dig
ging In to prevent being swept away
by the furious attack of the enemy.
It just may so happen that CASTOR
may provide the defensive stuff and
his mates the offense bringing VIC
tory.
Aside from the result. all went
merry as a wedding at the ball
orchard as the Yankees made their
1928 debut in the Capital. The
weather was strangely perfect. the
home boys led for three innings and
fought hard, though vainly, in the
concluding frames. and Babe Ruth
hit a home run. The only out was
the Yankee victory, Z to S.
Ruth's circuit drive came In
the fifth, sending Combs and
KOenig along ahead Of the slug
ger, and without that smash 1t
is doubtful il the champions
would have won. 1t was RutI's
fourth home run Of the early
season and his third off Lizzie
Lisenbee.
The home boys showed plenty Of
pepper and fought hard to the end.
There was no disgrace in their de-
feat. Give them some more time
to get into shape and they'll be out
there winning a lot of ball games
with the same team that has now
been whipped six times in a row.
Sammy West, facing southpaw
for the first time this season in a
title contest, opened with sprint
that gave him a scratch single to
Gehrig. A couple of outs set him to
third, and he tailed on Goslin's hot
one that Gehrig couldn't clutch.
For three innings that run kept
the Griffs in front, with the big
crowd happy. Then the Yanks tied
1t up in the fourth on singles by
Gehrig and Meusel and Lazzeri's
out. Still the crowd was happy.
1t was looking at a fine, hard
fought game.
The "break" came i'm the fifth
after Collins had walked and
got to second on PennOck's sac
rifice. Combs bounded q single
over LIsenbee's head, Reeves
making beautiful back-Ilanded
stop behind the bag too late to
do anything with 1t.
Mark Koenig sent a twisting
hopper to ellis. A double play was
in sight, killing off any counting,
but the ball eluded the young Griff-
man and was scored as q single.
