SUSPECT HELD
in ABDUCTION
OF Two GIRLS
kidnapping Denied; Date
Was Made, Contention of
HeImsburq Man.

Donald Synder, q, married man
from Helmsburg, Ind, is held by po-
lice on high bond while they search
for his companion in the alleged
kidnapping Sunday of two 15-year-
Ole girls.
According to police, Snyder con-
fessed Tuesday night that he was
with the girls. but declared that he
had made a date with one of them,
Clara Jordan, 1916 De Loss ST., with
the agreement that she would bring
a companion. The other girl was
Trula Garden, 964 English Ave.
Both were gone from the time
they entered the automobile at 2:30
D. m, until they were brought home
by a farmer after midnight, with
the story that they had been kid
mapped and an attack on them at
tempted.
Mother Seriously Ill
Parents of the girls were frantic,
Mrs. Jordan, who is i'll with cancer,
had a premonition of what hap
pened to the girls long before they
returned home, 1t was said.
Snyder's confession regarding the
occurrence followed the general de-
tails Of the girls story, but he de-
MED that any force was used to
have them accompany the men and
also declared that they had driven
through towns, including Gienns
Valley, Shannon's Lake and Wav-
erly.
Made Date, He Says
He had met Clara on the night
of July 4, at Riverside Park, and
made the date for 2:30 p. m, Sun
day he said.
The girls left them and went to a
farmhouse with two girls who were
driving cows, because Trula had
fought with the other man, he said.
When she refused to return home
with them, they offered her money
for the trip and Clara insisted on
remaining with her companion, ac-
cording to the alleged confession.

ARCHITECTS TO
DRAW HOSPITAL
PLANS CHOSEN
Building Program Now
Awaits Sale of 100000
Bond Issue by Council.

Advancement Of city hospital
building program plans today await
ed passage by the city council and
sale of a $4,000 bond issue for pro-
fessional fees.
The board of health designated
architects for the proposed new
structures Monday night at a
closed-door session following nu-
merous private conferences with
Mayor L. Ert Slack.
Selection of G. R. zimmerman, en-
gineer, to draw plans for the power
plant, and Robert Frost Daggett as
architect to draft specifications for
the power plant and service build
ing, was announced by DR.. Herman
G.. Morgan, board executive secre-
tary.
Ready to Make Contracts
Vonnegut, Bohn and Mueller, were
chosen 10 design other units in the
contemplated program in event the
board decides to build more than the
two units at this time.
The board adopted a resolution
designating the architects and en-
gineers and declaring that the
health body is ready to make con-
tracts when the council approves
a bond issue.
1t generally is understood the
architects will receive a fee of per
cent of the building program and
the 100000 be subtracted from the
total fee if it exceeds that amount.
80 Days to Start Work
It isexpected the building ordi-
nance will be prepared for the coun-
Gil meeting of July Is.
Charles Mendenhall, attorney.
gave the board an opinion that it
will be ninety days or more before
the actual work can begin on the
designing of the new units because
the statute prohibits the board from
proceeding before the council ap-
propriates funds.
1t is unlikely bankers will ouy the
hospital bonds after they are passed
by the council, because of contests
against Stacks title to Office.
Slack had announced the contract
would be contingent on the passage
of bond issue, but the board de-
clined to accept the recommends
ton because of advise from the
State Board of Accounts.

BIZ Science Serrice
COPENHAGEN, July 11.-Eels,
the "snaky fish" of yesterdays
crossword puzzle, are the inspira-
ton and objective of a two-year
scientific cruise in the Pacific on
which Prof. Johannes Schmidt of
the University of Copenhagen
just has embarked. He will en-
deavor to solve the riddle of the
spawning grounds and migration
routes of the Pacific cells, as he did
for the Atlantic species.
The story of the eel is one of the
most interesting of all scientific
sagas. Eels have been favorite
fishes in Europe since remote
antiquity, and their ways while in
fresh water we're fairly well
known, though always puzzling.
Young cells never were seen to
descend a river, and old eels never
went any other way. No one ever

ones came from the sea, the old
ones went to sea; but what hap
pened in the sea was an unsolved
mystery for centuries.
Prof. Schmidt set himself to
solve the riddle, and for seventeen
years he labored,s At the end he
knew the whole story. Eels came
up out of the sea, as young EEL

They live and feed in fresh water
for several years.
When full grown, they go down
to the sea, and swim across the
whole width of the North Atlantic
to an area northeast and east of
the West Indies. Here they lay
and fertilize their eggs and then
die.
The young eel larvae do not re-
semble eels in the least. They are

URGE SOUTHERN
DRIVE FOR SMITH
To HOLD PARTY
Leaders Strategy Seeks
Solid Vote to Assure
Ticket Success.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, July 11.-Efforts
to keep the South solidly Demo-
cratic WEI = thrown into relief today
following the plea of Senator Rob-
inson, Democratic vice presidential
nominee, for a southern headquar-
tiers to combat anti-Smith senti-
ment.
Robinson said in New York: can
organized effort is in progress in
several southern States to defeat
the national Democratic ticket, and
while the force and volume Of this
movement is not yet known, I am
of the opinion that sound policies
should prompt our party managers
to meet this opposition decisively
and promptly"
Two-FOld Arguments
If the party managers accept his
advice and decide that a concerted
Democratic campaign in the South
is necessary for the first time in
history, it is believed their argu-
mentS will be two-fold:
First, Smith will be presented as
an honest, constructive statesman,
whose religion and modification
views need not worry the dry,
Protestant South inasmuch as he is
pledged to uphold the Constitution
and laws. In this connection al
legged Republican corruption will be
stressed.
Second, those southern Democrats
planning to vote "just this once"
for the Republican presidential
nominee in order to defeat Smith,
will be told such a chance is too
risky. The Bugaboo of Negro rule
in the South, if Republicans carry
southern States, will be raised, as
formerly, to hold white voters in
line. \
Rule Out "Bolters"
This was indicated by former
United States Senator Hoke Smith
of Georgia who Tuesday pledged
himself for Governor Smith.
1.-The South could not afford to
support a Republican ticket" he
said. Il will not vote for any one
in Democratic primary who does
not declare himself in favor of our
presidential nominee"
Further, several State Democratic
organizations already have threat
ened to rule out" such Democrats
as may vote for Herbert Hoover.

RARE AFRICAN ANIMAL
DISPLAYED AT MUSEUM
Okapi, Kin to Giraffe, Was I'm
known Prior to 1900

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, July 11.-An okapi
one of the most elusive and rare
African animals, is now on exhibit
at the Field Museum. The speci-
men was secured from pigmy BUSH
men by the Captain Marshall Field
expedition.
The okapi is so uncommon that
its existence was not known until
1900 when a strip of skin was
brought out of the jungle. The first
complete hide and skull were not
secured until several years later.
The okapi is kin to the giraffe
and is marked similarly. Teeth and
horns are similar but the neck and
legs are shorter than those of the
giraffe.

URGES SCHOOL ]
BUDGET PROVIDE
new BUILDINGS
WaISman Declares More
Room Imperative in
Districts 81 and 49.

Crowded condition of Public
School 81, Seventeenth and Rural
SITS, No. A, Twenty-First st. and
Sugar Grove Ave, and school No. 49.

told the board of school commission
ers, Tuesday night.
First draft of the budget for the
coming year will be completed next

tative plans provide for new build
ing to replace No. 81 on site
already acquired near the present
structure, and material enlarge
mentS at Nos. Al and 40, he said.
"Growing enrollmentS necessitate
the addition of thirty to thirty-six
rooms annually" he said. 1--WE still
have to finance these additions by
bond issue, but we are re-shaplng
our scheme of finances so that with-
in two or three years such demands
can be met from taxes"

HOLLYWOOD. Calf, october s.
Subterranean rumor has been crediting
Mary Pickford with a new personality
and in Hollywood such rumor is gen.
orally not without point.
An hours visit to the girl who has
been tagged Americas Sweetheart"
has convinced me that here is one of
the most interesting and radical trans
formations of personality ever to occur.
Cecile Sorel once said that to change
ones furniture, style of dressing and
way of thinking every 10 years was the
only way to remain fascinating.
Mary Pickford's transformation has
taken place with her chance in hair
dressing. Few people know that the
loss OF the famous curls was only the
beginning of the experiments Mary
Pickford has made with her hair. But
by bit she has been shipping off a lock
here, an inch there. What was in the
beginning modified bob is now re-
duced to row of gliStening gold ring
lets at the base of her neck
Perhaps by tomorrow there will be
nothing of the waist-deep, golden curls
save such moist ringletS as adorn the
skull of 14-month-old baby.
Had any one ventured to persuade
Mary Pickford into such thing a year
ago he would have found himself
against a closed door. The Mary OF
1927 thought in an entirely different
groove.
Behold the Mary Pickford of today
launching this radical move with ar
enthusiasm which makes the entire
conference sit up and take notice. This
is the actress speaking. and that actress
has resolved to hurl herself into Co
quette" with the abandon of her in
spiration.
Il shall forget the nice little girls
used to play" she says; mot that the
idea of them no longer appeals to me
but because the idea of giving some
thing new appeals to me more.
ITO me, as feel now, the paradox
of this coquette, this kitten type, de.
liberately using baby eyes and baby
lips and baby mouth to awaken the
| sex in man, is infinitely sharper in it,
| tragedy than it could be with a more
conventional type"
Il think I made a few rash observa.
| tions about what would happen to thi!
| truly tragic story in its screen adapta,
ton. But if Mary Pickford is allowed
her way-and who gainsays her?-th'

Washington History

October 3, 1861.-Washington
were glad today to see lofty flagstaff
securely fixed upon the top Of the un-
completed shaft of the Washington
Monument 1t has just been safely
raised by George Dean, who was the
rigger employed by the Washington
National Monument Society during the
prosecution of the work on the super
structure.
To the top of this pole, which is about
235 feet above the surface of the
ground. halyards have been attached.
They extend to the Office at the base
of the Monument The flag which
soon will fly from this pole was pur-
chased by voluntary contributions col
lected by Mr.. Widdicomb and was pre-
sented to the society 1t was manu-
featured in Philadelphia of the finest
bunting, and is As feet long by "a feet
wide.
This flag will be hoisted into posi-
ton as soon as necessary arrangements
have been perfected for appropriate
ceremonies. 1t is hoped that it will not
share the fate of the former flag, which
was blown to shreds week or two after
it was raised. That, however, was an
old time-worn banner.
This is new flag, made of stout
that will enable the Waterman at the
Monument to house the flag in a few
minutes on the approach of wind or
rain storm.
The Union Army lines have been eX-
tended from Washington to within half
mile of Falls Church, Va, it was
learned at military headquarters today.
Union pickets have penetrated half a
mile on the other side of Falls Church
upon the Leesburg turnpike. Confed-
crate scouts have been noticed in the
woods between Falls Church and
townsville and within half a mile of
Falls Church itself.
About 40 or SO Confederate cavalry
men appeared yesterday over Barrett's
Hill, between Falls Church and Vienna,
and only about mile from the former
place. Part of company of Union
Cavalry started to meet them. but the
Confederates vanished over the hill.
Barretts Hill is commanding point.
and doubtless will be occupied by the
Union troops, as the Confederates ap-
parently are making no effort to hold
it. The hill is the burial place of three
British officers of the War of 1912.
The Confederates have withdrawn
the guns they recently used at Free
stone Point, Va, on the Potomac River,
and the river Is now open to naviga-
ton. They used the teams of Basil
Brawner to haul them away.
