YANK MERMEN
SWIM ACROSS
FAMED STREAM

BIRMINGHAM, Ala. Sept.
(AP)-The Hellespont which gave
immortality to Leander and which
Lord Byron swan and sang of, the
other day looked like a public
swimming pool on the Fourth OF
July.
The ripping surface of that his
toric stream which baked the
host of Xerxe's army, the stream
that lashed his pontoon bridges
to bits and caused his engineers
to go to their deaths at the exc
cution block, proved not so for
midable to its modern visitors.
Eighteen American youths gazed
at it, grinned and swan it.
Jack Bowron, of Birmingham,
Ala, former captain of the Prince
ton swimming team, plunged into
the water at SeStoS Cliffs on the
European side and swan to the
Asiatic shore. Behind him came
the other Americans.
Pausing for just five minutes at
the foot of Xerxe'S Throne, Bow
ron again leaved into the water
and buffeting current and wind,
made the return trip alone.
The successful swimmers be-
sides Bowron were: j. Dudley
CharleSworth. of Yale, au-Am-
erican football center; John Nc
Coy, of Colby; John S. Davidson,
of Colby; Lawrence Riggs, Dart

GERMAN CANARIES
TO LEARN ACCENT"

CONSTANTINOPLE, Sept.
4 (AP)-German canaries in
the future shall sing with
an oriental accent"
Such is the determination
of four German ornitholo-
gists who have arrived here
en- route to Anatolia where
they will make a scientific
study of Turkish birds.
Prof. Herman Passer, lead
er of the party, declares
that Turkish canaries are
the finest in the world and
that their song is unique
for its oriental accent"
The visitors intend to
study means of teaching
this accent" to native Ger
man canaries.
Turkey could develop an
important source Of revenue,
says Professor Passer, by
developing her canary stock
as she Is already developing
her carrier pigeons.

CIRCUS COMES,
CIRCUS GOES,
ALLS WELL.

The circus has come and gone
and so far none Of the depra-
dations incident to such a visi-
tation have been reported.
This Is a rather more remark
able because Of the fact that
circus day also happened to be
Labor Day and a holiday, and
the visiting show carried $50
people.
Aside from several arrests for
drunkenness, no disorder, or petty
crimes were reported.
The city officers, Joe May and
Tony Martelletti worked with Sam
Cav and r. G.. McCubrey of the
Sheriffs office, maintaining q
thorough patrol of the city, and
much credit is due them for the
very creditable ending Of the big

Police Link Woman
With Indiana Sayings
On Farm 20 Years Ago


LOS ANGELES, Cal, Sept. 25.-
Is Mrs. Belle Guinness. inferno
tIonaIly notorious murderess OF a
generation ago, alive and in Cal
ifornia?
This was the startling question
fIug at the police here today III
connection with their continued
Investigations into the WineVhte
murder farm"
Mrs. Guinness, credited with hav-
ing slain upward OF 100 men mem
women and children upon her
murder farm" at La Porte, InG..
for the last twenty years is sup.
posed to have died by the ak WITT
which she slew, in numerous
instances; her victims.
Today, however, doubt was cast
upon the report universally &C
cepted 50 many years when j
Clark Sellers, criminologist of this
city, revealed that he was in pos
session of knowledge to the effect
the Indiana authorities, as recently
as January 80, 1928, were Of the
opinion that Mrs. Guinness, instead
of being dead, was alive in San
Diego.
Many Believe 1t
This opinion was set forth in a
letter written on the indicated date
by Alfred Norris, chief Of police of
La Porte, and addressed to Chief
of Police Patrick, of San Diego.
The Indiana chief in the letter said
he had been informed by a woman
who knew Mrs. Guinness in La
Porte that the former had seen the
latter upon the San Diego streets.
The La Porte official added that
numerous persons believed Mrs.
Guinness never had been slain, but
that with her children escaped and
made her way west.
The San Diego police, acting on
the letter of the Iudian chief,
investigated, but no trace of Mrs.
Guinness was found in the southern
city.
According to the Los Angeles
police, Mrs. Northcott is about the
same age Mrs. Guinness would be
were she stiIl in reality.
May Be NOrthcOtt
Despite the fact that the woman
accused in the present murder
farm" case has acquaintances in
Canada who assert they have
known her over a long period of
years and that she cannot possibly
be Mrs. Guinness, the authorities
announce they will investigate
thoroughly this startlingly novel
