SEEK CLEWS IN
CLUB HOLDUPS
Believe Former EmpIoye in
Pay Roll Robbery.

Detectives we're practically with
out clews today in the hunt for the
bandits who staged the two country
holdups this week.
Club members and detectives be-
lieved some former employe of the
Indianapolis Country Club directed
the holdup of Cashier Charles H.
Horn Thursday and the theft of the
clubs 81 500 pay roll.
Horn was held up just after he
had gotten off the Charlottesville
interurban and had started for the
clubhouse, as he has done for three
years. The bandit ran across a
field to where an automobile with
two other men in it waited on the
Charlottesville Rd.
Detectives continued their check
up of loot taken when a party of
eight to dozen bandits held UP
guests at the annual Speedway
dinner-dance Wednesday night, es-
Gaping with loot estimated at
100000.
Insurance agents whose COM

lnltc0 treSS special COrreSDOndent
KINGS BAY, Spitzbergen, June 2.
The snow and ice bound wastes of
the Arctic today held tenaciously to
the secret of the fate of the dirigible
Italia, as relief expeditions were
planned by at least four nations.
Already two small groups are
plunging into the little known dis
trict of northern Spitzbergen, bent
On determining whether the dirigible
and its crew of sixteen men sudden
ly plunged to the ice coated earth
one week ago yesterday.
That was the last heard Of the
blunt-nosed craft that so success
fully glided over the North Pole and
made other exploration tours
through the Artic area.
ChasseurS Search Wastes
These two groups are composed
of chasseurs, landed by the Citta
Di Milano. Headed by guides
who have roamed through the
frozen country, the two teams are
working through the north of this
island-one taking coast route and
the other striking inland toward
Northeastland, the bleak island near
Spitzbergen.
However, it will take at least ten
days for these two small groups to
complete their expeditions of mercy.
Meanwhile, the nations of the
north and south of Europe COM
bined to carry rescue to the daring
explorer-Gen. Umberto Mobile
and his aids on that disastrous fight
to the pole.
Norway gave its best flying Of
f1cerS and ships. Russia gave air.
planes and two ice breakers. Sweden
offered aid. Italy has chartered one
Whaler to attempt to save her coun-
trymen, while swift and powerful
seaplane soon will be here to aid in
the rescue expeditions.
Seaplane On Way
The seaplane is expected to ar
rive next week and will work in
conjunction with Citta di Mliano,
supply ship that already has made
one venturesome journey through
the ice foes to the north OF Kings
Bya. The Citta di Milano again
may take out next. week.
Leaders in the world of aviation
and scientific exploration are join
ing in this common cause of giving
relief to Mobile. who may be at
tempting to beat back through un-
charted lands to the base here.
Roald Amundsen, Lincoln Els
worth, Captain Riiser-Larsen. Lieu
tenant Leutzow- Holm, Mobile s
brother, and Captain George Will
kins are but few of the men who
offer to rsik their lives in the relief
expeditions that will be almost az
daring as was the flight of the dirig-
ible to the pole.
BY mid-week it is expected that
several OF these expeditions will be
under way and the minute search
of the great Arctic area will be
started.

There have been general retreats
all along the northern defense line
which is about 100 miles long, ex-
tending from Liuliho on the Pekin-
Hankow railroad to Machang on the
Tientsin-Pukow railroad.
These general retreats are said

The transfer of Pekin may be

Immediate recognition is out Of
