e MOTIVES FOR
GARAGE BLAST
BEING PROBED
Investigation Started Into
Cause Of Explosion That
Wrecked Dance Hall
DEATH TOLL NOW AT 70
J. NJ. Wiser, Who Rented Gar.
age Below Hall, Was Op.
posed TO Dancing
DEATH TOLL NOW AT 10

Westplains, Missouri. April 1b.--
(AP) - Revenge and financial
troubles were two motives advarcod
today by Prosecuting Attorney
Green as he pressed his invest{ga-
ton into the Gauss Of the explosion
that destroyed . dance hall here
early Saturday, killing 10 persons.
Green suggested that ]. N.
Wiser, Al, who rented Z garage be-
low the dance hall, may have been
responsible for the blast, either BE-
cause Of pronounced views against
dancing or because financial ttou-
bles may have led him 70 suicide.
Wiser, . devout churchman, was
killed in the explosion. He had not
made public expression Of his
hatred Of dancing here, but o. his
former home in Alton, Mo-, he was
known a. opposed to it, but not
violently.
The prosecutor pointed cat also
that so far as direct evidence shows,
Wiser might have caused the explo-
sion accidentally. He is confident,
however, that it was not caused by
gasoline fumes as at first supposed.
Body IL ExhumeC
Wiser's body, which was exhumed
late yesterday shortly after burial,
revealed burns on the face believed
by physicians to have been cauDed
by acid. These, said Green, might
have resulted while handling acid.
Green said he had witnesses ready
to testify that Wiser was at the ga
rage 20 minutes before the blast oc-
Cured, and that one man claims he
saw q sputtering light there-a light
that flickered for q few rnome(Its
and went out jus+ before the build
ing was blown up. Wiser's body
was found 20 feet from the ga1age.
Coroner Burns held to the theory
that Wiser went to the garage,
opened the door nd struck = metch
which ignited gasoline fumes.
IN the other hand Green pointed
out the 50-gallon tank in the garage
was found intact and hat not been
leaking.
Wiser, however, had purchased
five gallons Of gasoline to use in q
"douser" for washing automobile
parts the day Of the explosion.
No Sign of Dynamite Blast
No physical evidence Of dyna-
mite explosion, such q hole in the
ground has been discovered.
Wiser voluntarily Cancelled his
contract as sales agent for the Oak
land Motor company last week. He
had no indebtedness with the COM
pany but was indebted to the Gen.
eral Motors Acceptance corporation,
the prosecuting attorne. said.
The dances held in the hall above
the garage were regular Friday eve
ming AFFAIR." and were regarded -
quite q social event by the residents
Of this little city since the first was
given several months ago. Among
the victims were many Of the COM
munity's prominent persons.

brought his polar dirigibls Italia
through q night ofShead winds and

airdrome, six miles from here, this
morning.
The italian airship with which he
hopes to explore north polar regions
landed at Seddin at 1856 =. m, and
was Immediately placed in the
hangar. 1t had taken the craft 80
hours and 40 minutes to come from
Milan, which is about $50 miles
from here by airline.
Apparently the only damage suf-
fered by the ship was tho tearing
Of the left stabilizer.
The hum Of the Italia's motors
was first heard by those on the field
at 7:55. Tho weather was cloudy
with q little wind and the sun was
beginning to shine through the
clouds. Ten minutes after the mo-
tors had been heard the dirigible
was over the field. II described Z

The ballast was thrown out and SOL

Mobile Heartily Cheered
When the gondola touched the
ground, General Mobile stood at
the door of the cabin and beside
him his shivering Mascot Titania,
the dog which flew over the North
Pole with him in the Norge. Mobile
stepped out and was heartily
cheered by the spectators.

AT Gleiwitz airdrome, the auth
critics tried to persuade US to come

proceed. We did, however, ask for
meteorological information az we
had lost our bearings and had to
cruise back and forth for two
hours until the information came
from Lindenberg and Prague.
