WOMAN FOUND ON ROAD BURNED ALIVE Discovered in Blazing Clothes by
 Passing Motorist SUCCUMBED IN HOSPITAL
State Police Believe She Was Taken to Spot in Car, Saturated With Gas and Clothes Ignitctl-No Clue to Identity of Woman.

Morristown. N J., Feb. 21 CA large sedan automobile seen parked beside a roadside refreshment stand was the only lead police held today in their efforts to identify the woman found burning to death, her cloth ing soaked with gasoline. late last night. near the Morristown Ber- nardsville highway.
 Joseph Murdock. the driver of the car in which Enow Campbell, a wealthy citizen of Bernardsville. was riding when he discovered the body behind the road stand, told police that at ten o'clock he had seen . large dark colored sedan car parked near the point where the body was found. Murdock was driving towards Morristown at the time to meet MT. Campbell. ' | He said he saw no one in the sedan and paid little attention to 1t. Two hours later. when the drove with MT. Campbell back along the same road to Bernardsville he passed the same car mile or more outside of Morristown. The sedan was pro- ceeding towards that place.
 It was only @ few minutes later that, attracted by the flames, Mur- dock brought the car to a stop and investigated the flames which re- vealed the blazing body of the un- identified woman. The statement of Murdock strengthened the theory of the county prosecutor that the wom- an had been rendered unconscious before her clothing was soaked with gasoline and set afire.
 After beating out the flames, he drove to Morristown.
 The woman did not recover con- sciousness before she died at three o'clock this morning There were no identifying marks aside from a trades mans label "Bedell of Paris in her hat and an other, Louis of 1 Buffalo" on her dress.
 Description of Victim
 She was described as being about 35 years old and of medium build. Her hair was beginning to gray and she wore tortoise shell trimmed eye glasses.
 1t was impossible for the police to decide whether she set fire to her own clothing. About 100 feet from the spot where Campbell found her was a gasoline filling station.
 Two road houses. the Travellers Rest. and the Veterans Inn, are nearby, but both are closed for the winter.
 State Trooper Leon advanced ths theory that the woman had been brought to the spot in an autom obile : her clothes saturated and set on fire. Gasoline was then poured about her feet to add fuel to the | flames.
 Campbell was accompanied by his wife and a neighbor. James Mur- dock. When they first saw the i flames they believed that one of the roadside stands which dot the road in the vicinity was on fire. Distinguished Flames
 When they discoverd the woman, they carried snow and extinguished d the flames. They placed her in the rear seat of the car and started driving to Norristown at high rate of speed over the slippery roads h. a few moments the woman's cloth ing again burst into flames and they were forced to stop. lift her from the car and extinguish the fire with snow.
 Her legs and right side were badly burned. and her right hand and arm charred.

 Four of the bodies were found in the main workings, where a disas- trous explosion occurred last night. Two others were located in an iso- lated section of the mine, where five miners, uninformed of the blast, went to work this morning and were overcome by gas. Three of the five made unconscious, were brought to the surface by a mine mule which pulled out the car on which the vic- tims were lying.
 The brick yard" mine of the Kinlock workings had a crew of only five men. These five. not having. learned of the explosion went in this morning. G. N. Beck and Louis Venxel were inside about a mile and half when overcome by gas. Tom Justham, 63, a miner of 44 years experience, accompanied Bert Black and John Beck en route to work. Justham said they had pro- Aeded about a mile when he felt faint and knew something was wrong. He was driving the mule hauling the mine car.

Honolulu, T. H., Feb. c1 (UP)- M. Thomas Needham, wealthy own CT of string of drug stores through out England and Ireland, had advis- ed police he was swindled out of $14O,000 February 16. by three men believed to be members of an inter national confidence ring.
 Needham arrived here January IS aboard the liner Malolo, the police announcement said. A man using the name of Samuel Pierce, also was a passenger. He made Needham' s acquaintance and introduced him self as a Canadian. The acquaintance ripened and the two spent much time together. One day when their automobile broke down and they were waiting for it to be repaired, Pierce found a purse containing $500.
 Shortly a man, who later gave his name as Grainvil, appeared and claimed the purse offering Pierce a reward of $1GO. Pierce refused the reward, according to the police.-,ory. The stranger. who said he had been dismissed as steward of the Turf" club, claimed he had access to bet ting commissions, and would wager the money on horse race in Pierce's name.
 Horse Won The horse won; so did all the other horses on which Grainvil sub sequently placed bets of from $200 to $1,0OO for both Fierce and Need ham.
 The trio then decided to place a big bet. Needham cabled his Lon don banker and procured $140.000 in cash. Pierce put up s60,000. Grain- vii explained the actual cash had to be placed.
 The trio met Tn Pierce's hotel room. When the whole amount - s200,000 in cash-had been placed on 8 table. the telephone rang and it was a summons for Needham to come to the lobby. He left the room and the money.
 He never saw the money again and the only time he saw Pierce was when the latter was leaving the hotel.
 There is no Turf" club in Hawaii. There Is no horse racing in Hawaii. There are no betting commissioners in Hawaii.
 Needahm was visiting the island with his wife and his daughter, Miss Olive Needham.

 Soon in St. Louis
 Just 50 minutes later less than a hundred watchers at the flying field heard the drumming of his motor to the north. The Douglas, driving through the smoke pail at more than 100 miles an hour, shot across the field moment later. Climbing slightly. Lindbergh swung his ship off to the west and, settling easily. landed In front of the National Guard hangar
 Lindbergh taxied his ship up to the waiting mail wagon and. leaving tho plane in charge of mechanics. quickly doffed his fur lined flying suit. stopped few minutes to talk to newspapermen and prepared to leave the. field for the day.

in MEMORY OF THE WRIGHTs

At Kitty Hawk, North Carolina, stone tablet
of more than usual significance has been unveiled.
Its inscription reads:
On this spot, Sept. II, 1900, Wilbur Wright be-
gan the assembly of the Wright brothers first ex-
perimental glider which led to mans conquest of
the air.
little more than three years later, OrviIe
Wright, near that spot on the sand dunes, first
flew motor-driven airplane
The flight lasted only twelve seconds
But though Of short duration, it. constituted
the first successful experiment with heavier
than-alr machine in the long history of flying at
tempts.
Time has vindicated the Wrights brothers.
For many months after the first flight of Or
vile Wright, the world refused to believe that s.
had actually taken place
Even s late as 1905 and 1906, when h
Wrights were constantly making short flying trips,
persons all the country jeered at them for be-
hevlng that man could fly Scientific articles tried
to prove" that flying was impossible People did
not believe even the evidence of eye-witnesses.
Not until 1908 were the adventures of the
Wright brothers given credence
They were the forerunners of Lndberph Can
tain Wilkins, the German-Ir Irish fvers and all the
other brave souls whose air exploits have aroused
the applause and fired the enthusiasm of the ma
ton.
Time has vindicated them nightly Today
the science to which they gave their best efforts
has developed to an astounding degree The ma
ton cherishes the memory of these great pioneers

THE PROPOSED ARMORY

The American Legion in it's efforts to bring
hearty support of the public in general
The state of Arizona, according to Adjutant-
General Harris, will make an appropriation for an
armory building, if site is donated to the state
Now it's up to public-sprited citizen to hand
over site. If this can't be done then the various
organizations should get behind the Legion and
raise funds with which to buy site.
An armory would be headquarters of the local
company of the National Guard It would also
give the Legion home, and one of the biggest things
from community standpoint it would give No
gales convention hall, something that's badly need
ed here since Nogales has become great conven-
ton city
We are soon to have paved streets. Now let's
get an armory
