Lawyers Appear for Miss

WALSH LAW IS TESTED

WASHINGTON, March 3.-H. NJ.
missing Teapot Dome wit
ness, was to go on trial here today
in a contempt of court proceeding.
Blackmer is hiding in Paris, but
lawyers were to represent him in
court.
The case arose from his refusal
to answer a subpoena to testify III
the Fall-Sinclair Oil conspiracy trial.
The Government collected 100000
of Blackmer's Liberty Bonds, under
the 1926 Walsh law directed against
recalcitranta witnesses abroad. If
Blackmer loses this case he also
loses the 100000 as a forfeit for
refusing testimony.
Blackmer'S attorneys planned 80
attack the Walsh law as unconsti-
tutional, in that it is special legiS-
lation directed at penalization of a
particular American citizen who is
outside the courts jurisdiction.
The arguments were before JUS
tice F. L. Siddons, who Friday re-
ceived from the district grand jury
an indictment charging Robert w.
Stewart, chairman of the Standard
Oil Company Of Indiana, with vio-
lating the Senate contempt law.
The charge resulted from Stew
arts refusal to answer questions
concerning Continental profits.

LACK CLEWS IN
DOUBLE KILLING
Police Active in Four In
diana Cities.
By United Press

By United Press
INDIANA HARROR, Ind, March
3.-With two Slavic pennies as their
only clew. police Of four cities
searched the foreign sections Of the
Calumet steel mill district today for
the slayer OF two small boys whose
bodies we're found in a ship canal
here.
Bodies of the boys are unidenti-
fled. but police are convinced by the
similarity of features that they we're
brothers.
The first boy was recovered Feb.
% In the Lake Michigan Calumet
River ship canal. Eight days later
the body Of the second youth was
found about a half mile distant.
Both bodies we're bound with wire,
which police believed was obtained
in the yards Of the Great Lakes
Dredge and Dock Company. nearby.
In a shoe on each body police
found a Slavic one-cent piece. This
fact, together with the similarity of
dress, led police to believe the two
boys might have been slain by a
relative and buried in keeping with
the ancient Slavic custom Of bury
ing money with their dead.
This theory was strengthened by
the fact that both boys we're dressed
in practically new clothes. which
also corresponded to the Slavic
burial custom.

In the Stock Market
(By Thomson & McKinnon)

NEW YORK, March 3.-General
business conditions are no different
than they we're a week ago. There
fore, it would not be surprising if
this lack of uniformity in CONNER
cial trends will continue to be re-
flected in the stock market. In some
groups speculative activity will prob
ably be negotiated at the expense
Of a short interest. While its pro-
portions are of course impossible to
determine, there is undoubtedly an
oversold conditions in the market.
On the other hand there is undoubt-
edly an investment demand, which
is being reflected in the market ac-
ton of various issues. which come
under the classification OF coed
stocks. And in our opinion, their
strength is convincing enough to
warrant their purchase.

Aries who had had no word from

summer of 1925. AT last he de-
cided something had to be done.
So he dispatched a courier by
dog sled with a message to George
Wendt OF the Canadian Westing-

asked Wendt to broadcast the
message which would tell the peo-
pie of Southampton Island why it
was that they received no mail

1t took the courier and his dogs
ninety-two days to reach Montreal.
He arrived there Tuesday and de-
livered the message to Wendt. To-
night station KDKA at Pittsburgh

peat it on succeeding Saturday
nights.
The invasion Of this primitive

Los Angeles Placed in
Hangar Early Today After
Battle With Blizzard.

Wind Snaps Gable in Effort

Trip Epoch Making.

LAKEHURST, N. j., March s.
The dirigible Los Angeles was
walked" into her hallgsg here at
7:05 a. m, today after her crew
had fought virtually all night to
bring her to landing in binding
snow storm.
Back from q flight to the Panama
Canal Zone the big ship came over
her Lakehurst station shortly be-
fore midnight. A 40-mile wind was
blowing at that time but Com
Elander Charles E. Rosendahl or
dered her moored to her mast.
The force of the wind snapped
the cable by which the crew at
tempted to make the ship fast.
Then for three hours, the Los
Angeles cruised over the field, finally
making an attempt to effect a
ground landing. The first attempt
failed when the blizzard, which was
increasing in fury. tore the big ship
away from the ground crew Of $50
men.
Garry Ground Crew Into Air
AS the Los Angeles rose into the
air those watching the hazardous
proceedings we're shocked to see she
had carried four members of the
ground crew with her. The men
was clinging perilouSly to handrails
OF the cabin, exposed to the biting
gale. A fifth man released his hold
before the ship had risen twenty
feet and was injured In the fail.
The second landing attempt,
shortly after a. m, vas successful.
the wind and snow had subsidized
considerably by that hour. Once
on the ground the crew experienced
no difficulty walking" the ship into
her hangar.
Although the flight to the Pan
ANA Canal Zone had been the most
hazardous that the Los angeles had
undertaken since being flown to this
country from Germany, the only
real difficulties came in the last six
hours of the six-day cruise.
Cuban Hop Epoch Making
The Cuban cruise embraced 1920
miles and carried the air giant to
two countries, with but two stops.
one at Panama and the other at
Cuba. The average speed was
forty-two and one-half miles an
hour.
This feat was regarded by naval
officials as epoch making and they
say demonstrated the feasibility Of
such craft for commercial and de-
Tense purposes.
The dirigible's thirty-nine-hour
flight to France field, Panama Ca
nal Zone, a distance Of 1850 miles
from Lakehurst, without stop. will

the greatest achievements by an
airShip.
102 Hours In Air
This achievement was almost
equaled by the Los Angeles one
stop return flight to the hangar
from the Canal Zone, I'll miles from
France field to the tender Patoka
at Guanacayabo Bay. Cuba, and
1900 miles from the Patoka to
Lakehurst.
The Los Angeles hes spent to-
tai OF approximately 102 hours in
the air since Sunday when 1t took
off from here at 6:55 a. m.
Throughout the long nonstop
flight down the Atlantic coast,
across part OF the Gulf of Mexico
and over the Caribbean Sea, the
Los Angeles encountered unusually
favorable weather. except for
storm and severe winds when near
