Exhausted

No Investigation will be made in
to the death of Harry Moen, Hazen
youth who was shot Sunday while
hunting, John Moses, Mercer coun-
ty states attorney said today.
After making . thorough check
of the facts in the case, county Off
cials have decided that death
was purely accidental, he said. In
the absence of the county coroner,
Moses appointed a Hazen justice Of

and on the Justices recommends
tion, the case will be closed.
Officials have been unable to ques-
tion DR.. C. r. Chapman, Hazen dem
tist, who has been confined to his
bed since the accident. According
to the states attorney, Chapman
feels that as he was the older man
and more experienced in hunting, he
should have taken precautions to see
that the gun was unloaded while
they were crossing the lake, and
prevented the accident. The acci-
dent has 50 worked upon the Doctors
nerves that he has since been con-
fined to his bed under the care Of =

HASSELL PLANS
ONE MORE HOP
American Flyer Anxious 10
Traverse Greenland; Speaks
Swedish Fluently

Copenhagen, Denmark, Sept. 26.-
R)-Bert Hassell, American flyer,
who arrived here today from Green.
land with his Transatlantic compan-
ion, Parker Cramer. announced that
he would make another attempt next
year to fly from the United States
to Stockholm by way Of Greenland.
Hassell and Cramer, who were
rescued in Greenland after having
been stranded in the Arctic wastes.
arrived at Copenhagen aboard the
steamer Fulton: They were accom-
panied by Prof. William H. Hobbs,
leader Of the University Of Michi-
gan Greenland expedition, which
had brought. them to safety.
Hassell surprised everyone by
speaking fluently in the Swedish
language to those who greeted him
on his arrival in Copenhagen. He
said that on his return to the United
States he would begin Immediately
an effort to arrange for the financ-
ing of another attempt next spring
in the same type of machine as the
Greater Rockford, which was used
this year. He added that he ex-
pected to be able to recover the
scientific instruments and motor
which had been left behind in Green
land.
The American airman said that
the failure Of this years attempt
was due to a lack Of gasoline after
the plane had been blown out Of its
course. He expressed the convic-
ton that Stroemsfjord, the point 1t
MT. Evans which he had planned to
use as = base, would make an ex-
cellent landing point for transatlan-
tic flights by way Of Greenland and
Iceland.
The little steamer Fulton. which
brought the flyers to Denmark, made
the journey from Greenland well up
to schedule, despite adverse weather
conditions, but apart from Prof.
Hobbs, who was given the captains
cabin, the others in the party had
to sleep - best they could in Sleep
ing bags.
Hassell told the Associated Press
that the Greater Rockford, the plane
in which he and Cramer flew to
Greenland, would probably never
take the air again. Though undam-
aged by the landing in Greenland.
later storms played havoc with the
machine.
Hassell was still limping from the
effects Of his mountaineering ex-
perience in Greenland.

he came to . military life was when
he was an attorney in the legal sec
tion Of the war department. At
that time Obregon was secretary Of

Claimed Over 12,2OO

West Palm Beach, Fla, Sept. Is.
-(P)-While the ashes Of funeral
pyres still smouldered in parts Of
the Florida hurricane swept area
today, an appeal had gone to the
national headquarters Of the Amer
lean Red Cross at Washington for a
fund Of $4,000, 900 to be subscribed
by the American people for perma.
nently rehabilitating the devastated

Funeral fires cast a ghostly as
pect over sections Of the everglades
in the Okeechobee section last night
as workers cremated bodies washed
up by the flood which followed the
storm more than . week ago. Gre.
nation was resorted to in an effort
to improve sanitary conditions. In
the Belle Glade section yesterday
165 bodies were burned, It was re.
ported here.

gees at 12,200, who lost all in the

Palm Beach, declared the big tourist
hotels would open a. scheduled in
December and that social activities
would be commensurate with usual
