SEARCH FOR BASSETT IN
 PUGET SOUND
New Clue Given in Disap- pearance Case Ten
 nant Expresses Belief

SEATTLE, Sept, 27. Int search for James E. Bassett, who disappeared from Seattle Septem-
 Der 6, has shifted to Puget Sound. E. H. Hanson, of Ed munds, identified D. D. Mayer as the man he saw taking soundings half a mile off Richmond Beach three days after Bassett disap- peared
 Hanson explained that while he was fishing he saw a man in a rowboat with quarter-inch line. When he approached the man dropped the heavy line and pick ed up a light line as though fishing.
 Chief of Detectives Charles Tennant said: This may mean Bassett's body may never be found. The use of a sounding line means the deepest possible depth. Bodies, however, have been known to have come to the surface even when weighted"
 Mayer and his mother, Mrs. Mary Smith, brought back from Oakland, continue to deny they know anything about Bassett's disappearance.

 The teachers, Miss Jennie Will son, Miss Edith Sanderson and Miss Lucille Day. were sentenced by Judge Nizameddine, whose for mer identical verdict was set aside by the Court of Appeals. The defense appealed the case.
 In resentencing the three teach CTS. the Judge interpreted that his comment on the first verdict was the reason why the Court of Appeals ruled for a new trial and called for expansion of his reason of condemnation rather than dis approval of the verdict.

HOOVER GETS
 PESSIMISTIC
 WEST REPORTS
Northwestern Wheat Belt Festive But Republican
 Leaders Are Confident

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-While some pessimistic reports are con- ing to Herbert Hoover about the present situation in the North west wheat belt where the Me Nary-Haugen plan of farm relief has strong support, there are no indications of deep concern at the general headquarters of the nomi- nee.
 At the start of the campaign the Northwestern section was one that caused some Republican leaders considerable anxiety, but since that time militant organizations have gone into operation. A con- certed campaign is being waged.
 Hoover has already dealt with farm relief in two speeches and he is likely to have more to say after the conclusion of his Eastern campaign.
