CONGRESS IRRI7AYED
OVER using OF GUNS
BY FEDERAL AGENTS
Great Lakes Rum Runners
Organize to Thwart Govern.
n,ent, Paper Says

Washington, June 13.-R)-Con-
gressional irritation over the use of
guns by federal agents enforcing
the prohibition and anti-smuggling
laws was regarded today as having
been aIleviated slightly-but only
slightly-by the finding of Repre-
sentative Robert H. Clancy Of
Michigan, in his personal investiga-
ton Of the fatal shooting Of Archi-
bald Eugster, 81, on the banks Of
the Detroit river.
Eugster's death was the second
within a week since the intensified
ton of he governments effort to
stop liquor smuggling across the
Canadian border and aroused con-
siderable unfavorable comment in
congress. Jonah Cox, the customs
border patrol inspector involved in
the Eugster investigation, was alb
solved Of all blame by Clancy and
Prosecutor James E. Chenot after
M of the slain youths companions
on the night of the shooting ad-
mitted that they had been attempt
ing to run IS cases Of liquor across
the river and had failed to halt when
ordered to do so by the agent.
The story published by the Detroit
Free Press today to the effect that
a big combine Of Great Lakes rum
runners had been formed to thwart
the governments anti-smuggling
efforts between Buffalo and Mack
NAV. however, was a matter of con-
siderable interest to members of
congress and Assistant Secretary
Lowman of the treasury, in charge
Of prohibition enforcement. Little
comment IN, that subject was to be
expected from the latter, however,
pending a careful investigation.
The situation with respect to the
killing of Henry Virkkula Of Inter-
n..tional Falls, Minnesota, by a
border patrolman, showed no such
change, meanwhile, as that of the
Eugster case Emmett j. White, the
patrolman, remained in Jail while
four Investigations, including one
ordered by Lowman, proceeded.
In a case at Louisville, Kentucky,
two prohibition raiders. Roy Miller,
prohibition agent, and Clarence Cos
sett, deputy sheriff, both Of Hop
kinsville, were found by Federal
Judge Charles l. Dawson to have
been rightfully convicted for the
killing of Frank Sears in a raid on
a still in 1.:3:5, during which he was
shot nine times in the back.
Government officials were inclined
to look at the indictment of six pro-
hibition agents at San Francisco on
char. es of conspiracy and with con-
verting seized property to their own
use as presenting a different view
O. the picture.

TUSCALOOSA, Alabama, May T. An abduction note threatening R. H. Cochran, bank President with death and the kidnapping of his children, unless he deposited $500 in a designated tree stump, today formed the basis of efforts of the police to locate the writer.
 The police are reticient to di- vulge the nature of their investiga- tion but intimate that a college student may have sent the note.
 This is supported on the theory that the writing, wording and punctuation is perfect.

MURDER PLOT IN LITHU MA
 IS FAILURE
Attempt to Kill Premier Is Rolled by Two Per-
 sonal Attaches
ONE. LIEUTENANT
 DIES FROM BULLET
Assassin Escapes from N Scene Many Sus-
 poets Are Arrested

BERLIN, May T. - Official dis patches received from the Lithun- ian Legation state that Madame Waldemaras was not hurt in an at tempt to assassinate Premier Aug utinos Waldemaras but Adjutant Lieutenant Sudinas was killed and Aide Captain Yerbickas was badly injured. A young adopted son of the Premier was shot through the body and was operated upon dur ing the night.
 The attempt to assassinate the Premier is interpreted as political act following the Premier's action taken against the Democratic La Dor elements in Lithuania.
 Since December, 1926, the Pre- nier has made himself virtual Dictator.
 The attack was made as the party was entering the Gardent Theatre to attend a concert.
 Tarce of the. bullets from the assassins gun struck Sudinas. Other reports say two attaches shielded the Premier with their own bodies

NEW YORK, May 7.-Several members of astronomical parties expect to sit blindfolded for about 30 minutes before the total eclipse of the sun takes place on the other side of the world May g.
 And when they remove the blinds it will not be to look first at the impressive spectacle of an eclipse but they will scan the earth hunt ing for the shadow bands" that are familiar to every person who has watched total eclipse. These bands are shadows sweep ing with clockike regularity over the earth's surface, before and aft CT the moments of totality. Wheth- CT they persist during the total eclipse is what the astronomers wish to find out. There has been disagreement.
 In the past some observers as- serted they could see the bands even during totality, but there has been doubt whether this was real, or an optical delusion arising from watching the bands before the sun was plotted out.
 Why are astronomers spending months of travel for few mo- ments of experiments, each one as exacting as that of the shadow bands? This question was asked of pr. Charles P. Olivier, director of Flower observatory and profes- sor of astronomy of the University , of Pennsylvania.
 Because" he replied, "the sun is the only star sufficiently close to be seen in detail. We must inter- pret all other stars on the basis of what we can learn about our own sun"
 More information about the iden- 1 tity of coronium is another of the objectives in this years eclipse | Coronium is something that exists in the suns corona, the outer white glow that surrounds it during the moments of total eclipse.
