oD-HOUR SEARCH
FOR CHILD FUTILE
Parents Despair of Finding
Small Son in Snow
Filled Canyon.

BY the Associated Press.
GORDON Nebr, March 15.-The
snow-swept sand hills hold the fate of
little Melvin Reeves
The 60-hour search for the boy last
seen pursuing a hoop into a canyon on
his fathers ranch. was ended last night.
Mr.. and Mrs William Reeves, the cild's
parents, we're near collapse as they
called off the search. When the snow
melts another posse will seek the boys
body.
The army of Searchers, including 200
Indians from the Pine Ridge Reserva-
ton and Kyle. S. OAK. found themselves
snowbound early today, unable to push
through the snow drifts. which in many
places were eight feet deep.
Indians Aid in Search.
The Indians joined the hunt yester-
day, coming in wagons, trucks and on
horseback. Familiar with this country
as no white man is. they were unable
to make any progress through the huge
drifts north of the Reeves ranch. A
few of them plowed their way through
Tor about five miles, but were forced to
return.
Melvin, 6 years old, and his brother
Dwight, years Older, went to the pas
ture Tuesday morning hunting a lost
mitten. The last Dwight saw of his
brother was when the smaller boy
chased his hoop down a canyon.
Dwight reached home and his father
soon grew alarmed over Melvin's con-
tinued absence. 1t had begun misting
and the mist was turning to snow as the
father telephoned neighbors to help him
see. the child.
Faces Binding Snowstorm.
Before the searching party could ar
rive binding snowstorm ragged. BY
nightfall posse of 500 men were look
ing for the boy
The search continued through the
next day and all the following night.
Drifting snow had blocked all highways
and little progress was made.
Searchers yesterday were marooned at
the Reeves ranch and caterpillar road
tractor was sent to the ranch with food
and supplies. The tractor was to be
used to tow automobile loads of posse
men back to Gordon today.

CANADA NOT TO
HALT RUM TIDE
Little Hope of Help Given
American Officials.

BIZ United Press
OTTAWA, Ont. Jan. 1.-THE flow
of liquor from Canada into the
United States apparently is to con-
tinue.
A four-day conference between
Canadian and United States rep
resentatives, with view to hating
liquor leakage into the states, has
ended with statement tacitly
admitting that nothing definite had
been done.
Canadian representatives, accord
ing to a statement last night, ex-
tended the only hope for a pos
sible solution in the future by
promising to submit to their gov
eminent the United States pro-
posal to refuse clearance papers for
liquor shipments.
The statement contended com
mercial' smuggling from the United
States into Canada had been re-
duced to negligible amount, due to
augmented border patrols.
The conference was considered of
value, however, as a means of
"eliciting a cordial and frank ex-
change of helpful information as
to the situation of both sides of the
border"

HOOVER HEARS
PARTY DISPUTES
ON PATRONAGE
Rows in New York and in
Tennessee Who Shall
Handle Appointments.
BY THOMAS L. STOKES
United Press Staff Correspondent

WASHINGTON. Jan. 11.-Presi-
dent Elect Hoover's worries over
cabinet appointments, farm relief,
prohibition and other problems are
becoming complicated with another
worry that always hobs up to plague
the future President about this time
in his career-handling of patron
age.
The latest patronage problem
concerns New York state. Friends
of William H. Hill, Binghampton
publisher, who was chairman of the
New York Hoover Curtis committee,
are seeking recognition for him in
dispensing patronage, seeking to
give him a share along with Charles
D. HilleS, national committeeman,
Hill will see Hoover Monday.
There is a similar situation in
Tennessee, where G. H. Huston, Hoo
yer lieutenant there, is seeking to
share patronage dispensation with
Representative j. Will Taylor, who
has handled Tennessee patronage
for a long time. Taylor has seen
Hoover recently.
One matter apparently had been
settled today. Hoover, it was indi-
Gated, has given up all hope an
extra session of congress may be
avoided, as result of canvass of
the situation presented him by
Chairman Hawley of the house
ways and means committee.
Hoover is expected to cali an ex-
ira session to begin about April Is
with the idea of adjourning about
July 1. Both farm relief and tariff
revision will be taken up at that
session.
