Women Are DETAINED and
Infants Burned

Canton, China, April 7.--tP,-
Advices from the Yeunchun and
Yeungkong districts, 14O miles
south Of Canton, today said that in
habitants had been massacred by
reds who were in control there.
Three thousand extremists cap
tured the cities and set them afire.
All males more than 40 years old
were slain, women DETAINED and in
fants burned.
The Canton government troops,
which have been suspected Of COM
munist sympathies, ignored orders
to go to the district and reinforce
troops already there.
1t was stated on Wednesday that
troops of the Canton government in
the Hoifung and Lukfung areas, 100
miles north Of Hongkong, captured
three Russian Reds known to have
been in Canton during the bloody
roth of December. They had bombs,
Russian posters and other propa-
ganda with them.
Yesterday it was stated that Reds
had driven out the government
troops from the Hoifung and Lux
fung areas and that Swatow. which
has been a place Of safety for both
foreigners and Chinese, was in
danger.
Canton itself was quiet today.

NO WORD FROM
CAPT. WILKINS
Lack of Information Leads Oh
servers 10 Believe Weather
Is UnfayOrable

Seward. Alaska. April 7.-(AP)-
Radio stations again awaited word
Of Captain George Il. Wilkins hop
off from Point Barrow for Spitz-
bergen. 2,1OO miles away on the
other side of the north pole.
For two days they had listened
fruitlessly for a message that Will
kins and his pilot. Lieut.. Ben Eiel-
son Of Hatton, N. D.. had headed
cut from the northernmost point Of
Alaska into the blind spot of the
Artic. Wilkins radioed that cloudy
weather had kept his plane on the
ice Thursday, the date set for his
take-off. He was silent yesterday
and last night it was assumed that
the weather had not improved.
Hope that conditions would change
and the plane start today kept
government operators at their
phones.
The aerial explorers evidently
never have made their contemplated
short flights from Barrow, as Will
kins never has mentioned them in
his nightly communications nor has
the government station heard the
plane in the air. Their plane, how
ever. was thoroughly tested for
Artic conditions before it was flown
to Barrow.

FLIGHT
IN FAR NORTH
SUCCESSFUL
Byrd's South Pole Plane Per-
forms Perfectly in Subzero
Temperatures

Winnipeg, Man., April 7.-(AP)--
Back from trial flight into the far
north Of Canada, associates of Com
mandcr Richard +. Byrd in his prof.
ected flight to the south pole planned
to hop off for st. Paul today as the
first lap Of their trip to Detroit.
Carrying a crew of five men and
nine passengers, the big tri-motored
monoplanc returned to Winnipeg
late Friday after weeks trip in the
frigid regions 700 miles north OF
here. Floyd Bennett was in COM
mand, with Bernt Balchen his chief
pilot.
In temperatures as low as 80 de-
grees below zero, the huge ship was
driven through series Of tests all
Of which were pronounced successful
by Mr.. Bennett. He said the mono
plane, mounted on skis, performed
in remarkable fashion.
During the flight, headquarters
were maintained at The Pas, $50
miles north Of here, but much of
the experimental work was done in
the vicinity of Reindeer Lake, 3G5
miles north of The Pas.
Reindeer Lake proved an cxcep-
tionally fine experimental field, pilot
Bennett said. The weather averaged
80 degrees below zero, and con-
ditions, he said, were identical with
those that will be experienced in the
region OF the south pole.
The snow on the lake was ideal
for starting and landing, while
under wintry conditions the motor
functioned perfectly.
Bennett said the crew slept out in
the open despite the subzero temper
atures. In fact they had no other
alternative. Fur lined sleeping bags
were used.
Landing tests were conducted at
Du Brouchet, little Hudson Bay
trading post 40 miles north Of Rein
deer lake.
Pilot Bennett created a new flight
record for the return trip from The
Pas to Winnipeg, clipping As minutes
from the previous time made by a
local commercial aviator.
Two Of the nine passengers accom-
modated OIL the trip back to the
cities were women.

POLICE HAVE
STRONG CLEW
IN KIDNAPPING
Missing Youths Playmate
Tells of Man Asking L0ca-
tiOn of Home

Los Angeles, April 7.-(AP)-The
story told by small chum of 9-year-
old Walter Collins Of a short, be-
whiskered man who inquired his way
to the Collins home was relied upon
by the police TODAY as their strong
est clcw in the supposed kidnapping
Of the boy.
That man, Walters playmate, 1c-
year-old Lloyd Tutor, said, resem-
bled one of tho two suspected former
convicts whom the police are seek
ing in connection with the case.
Young Tutor told the officers that
on Friday, March 9. the day before
the Collins boy disappeared, = man
driving touring car stopped 1t the
curb and inquired the way to the
Collins home. Lloyd gave him the
address and volunteered to carry the
message.
"No. ! want to give It to him my
SELF" he quoted the man as saying.
"I'm after his hide"
The enmity Of the ex-convict sus-
poets, the police believe, had its in
ception within the walls of Folsom
prison where Walters father, WAL
ter ]. S. Collins, is serving his third
penitentiary term. The elder Col
Inns wrote to Los Angeles authorities
that in connection with his duties
in supervising the work Of some
other prisoners he had incurred the
hatred Of gang Of eight who be-
lieved he had reported them to the
guards.
The Tutor boys story further
dovetails into the case since one Of
the suspects-one Of the two Of the
gang Of eight who have been re-
leased from Folsom-is known to be
driving . touring car like that de-
scribed by the youngster.

2 ACTORS HOLD
BITTER ROLES
IN DRAMA
H. B. Warner Signs Complaint
Declaring Norman Trevor
Is Unbalanced.

Los Angeles. April 7.-lPl-Two
lifelong friends who have appeared
together on the screen today held
bitter roles in a real life drama.
For the complaint under which
Norman Trevor, veteran English
actor, is held for hearing by the
lunacy commission, was signed by
H. B. Warner, his friend and fel-
low actor.
In one of their latest pictures to-
gether Trevor in "Sorrell and Son.
acted the part Of the man who be-
friended Sorrell, played by Warner.
Yesterday, Warner testified be-
fore the lunacy commission that
his old friend was suffering from
delusions that he was immensely
wealthy while in truth the veteran
acctor was in poor financial cir
cumstahces.
Only the day before, Warner said,
Trevor had purchased $145 worth
Of flowers for a person he did not
know. The English actor had been
taken into custody charged with
issuing worthless checks.
His arraignment on the lunacy
complaint was set for Monday with
the hearing to be held Thursday.
Trevor, who is 81 years old, was
champion athlete Of India in his
time-1893 to 190O-co competing as
a star in the Olympic games. He
made his first stage appearance in
London in 1907 and came to the
United States in 1913, becoming
manager Of the comedy theatre in
New York for time. Several
years ago he came to Hollywood.
The veteran actor has played prom
inent roles in many film produc-
tions.

Chicago, April 1.-(AP)-Deputy
Police Commissioner O'Connor and
six detective squads tore north from
detective headquarters in automobiles
early today, confident that they were
on a hot trail Of kidnapers, who in
the last year have fattened on
Chicago and Detroit victims. They
left no word as to their destination.
The immediate kidnapping under in
vcstigation was that Of Thomas
Gaynor, wealthy automobile dealer
and part owner Of the new Nc
Cormick hotel. Gaynor has been
held since last Sunday under de-
mand for 100000 ransom.
Agents Of the kidnapers yesterday
approached James Mccormick, part
ner Of Gaynor in the Gaynor- McCor-
mick Sales company. and demanded
100000 ransom. After dickering
the men said they would accept
$4,000. Mccormick, after getting
the money, met the men at his place
Of business, but detectives were con-
cealed about the place and the money
was marked.
When Mccormick offered the bank
notes, the men became suspicious
and would not take them. They
drove away, followed by detectives
who, after trailing them several
miles, arrested them, fearing that
further pursuit might result in the
mems escape.
It was after long hours Of ques-
tioning Of these two that Deputy
Commissioner O'Connor and the de-
tectives, accompanied by the two
whom they had arrested, made their
sudden departure from headquarters.
O'Connor believed that Gaynor
was being held by the same band that
has kidnapped several Chicago and
Detroit men during the past year
and eXacted the payment Of ransom
the total of which is estimated il
excess Of 100000.

Sheriff 10 Investigate Theory
That People Were Killed
and House Fired
MURDER Is SUSPECTED

Cisco, Texas, April t. (AP)-
Eight persons, two adults and six
children, all members Of the family
Of Boss jackson, farmer, either
burned to death or were slain before
their country home was destroyed by
fire late last night. Sheriff Hart of
Eastland county and Night Chief r.
l.. Wilson of Cisco, who were called
to the scene. said the condition of
the bodies of two of the children
caused them to think they had been
slain before the fire started.
A. c. Green, undertaken. to whose
establishment the bodies were taken,
said the bodies were burned so badly
it was difficult to determine what
might have caused the death.
The Jackson family was comprised
Of the father, about 40 years old, his
wife and six daughters, ranging in
age from twins one year old to
girl Of IL. Four of the children were
in room with the mother and two
with the father.
Heat Prevents Rescue
Neighbors were attracted by the
flames shortly before midnight. The
heat prevented an attempt to rescue
the family and there was no means
of combating the blaze.
The bodies were recovered early
today by Cisco officers and brought
here. Sheriff Hart and Chief Will
son said an investigation would be
conducted on the theory the house
may have been burned after the
family was slain.

miles southwest Of here for nearly

gress took a day off today, but its
members had some pre- Easter home
thinking to do about the pending
farm relief legislation.
Just about the time both houses
quit work yesterday, it developed
that President Coolidge felt that
the new edition of the McNG1y-Hau-
gen bill, which he vetoed last year
on the ground that its much-debated
equalization fee was unconstitu-
tional. did not meet all the objec-
tions he found in the former meas
ure.
Whether the fee provision was
what the president had in mind was
not made known, although this item
is known to be included in several
phases of the question now being
considered by the executive and his
counselors.
The 1929 bill, now undergoing de-
bate in the senate and expected
shortly to come before the house,
attempts to meet the opposition to
the fee BY making it applicable only
if other means for marketing crop
surpluses fail.
Final Judgment Withheld

to the new measure applies to both

that in some particulars it has been
