Leader in Business.

Start of Auto Trip to Yuma,
Ariz., Made Phoenix
July 5.

R,N ! IHJGS SD6CluL
KOKOMO, Ind, July 22-No
trace has been found today of Del
bert w. Butz, A, president Of the
Indiana Lumber Company here and
active in church and business at
fairs, who has been missing seven
teen days from his temporary home
in Phoenix, Ariz. He was in the
southwest in the hope that the cll-
mate would benefit his health.
Butz left Phoenix, July 5, in his
automobile with two men who are
said to have been strangers in that
city, to go to Yuma, distance of
seventy miles, ostensibly to arrange
for the financing of ranch prop
erty in which he had invested. He
has not been seen or heard from
since by his wife and daughter, who
are at home in Phoenix.
In letters to relatives and friends
here, Mrs. Butz frankly admits she
is greatly worried over her hus-
bands absence and her inability to
obtain any information regarding
him. She says his health was poor
when he left and expresses the fear
that he either met with foul play
or has become mentally deranged
and wandered away. She asserts
her belief that if something ex-
tremely serious had not befallen
him, he would have gotten some
word to her. She intimates that
in travelling by automobile through
the desert he may have fallen into
the hands of gangsters who could
have slain him and stolen the car.
In letters to George L. Davis,
president of the Howard National
bank, and Otis c. Howard, local in
surance agent, Mrs. Butz appeals to
them to look after some business in
terests of her husband that need
immediate attention.
The daughter, in Phoenix is Miss
Josephine Butz, who was graduated
from the Kokomo High school in
the class of 1928.

New Air Secretary BareS
Plans for Development
of Sky Branch.
LONG ROUTES VISIONED
Both Planes and DirigibleS
Will Have Part in
Conquest.
BY HENRY T. RUSSELL
United Press Stan Correspondent

LONDON, July 22.-"The airplane
is a gun of prodigious range and
considerable accuracy. For this
reason and because of the secret of
success in war is mobility, it is to be
the greatest of all our weapons"
Great Britain's new secretary Of
state for air, Brigadier- General Lord
Thomson of Cardington, told the
United Press correspondent in an
exclusive interview.
During the converse ton the min
lister also revealed that the new gov
ernment'S plans would include con-
siderable development in CONNER
cial aviation.
This, he said, would include the
establishment of a regular air line
between London and Captown in
the not distant future"
Later, he said, he hoped to ex-
tend the I.ondon-India route to Aus
tria.
With regard to trans Atlantic
flights before the end of the year"
R-101 would be ready for her trial
flights before the end Of the year"
Force Must Be Efficient
while it is the policy to have an
air force, this force must be eff
cient. This fact is recognized by the
leaders of labor throughout the
country" he replied in answer to
question.
1.-THE Labor governments policy"
he added would be to run the air
ministry on reasonable, common
sense lines.
while everything possible will be
done to reduce armmaments all
around, desires will not be COIL
founded with realities" he contin-
ued.
"The air ministry is a permanent
state department with two main
functions, defense and the develop
ment of aviation"
Picture the fiction writer's con-
ception of this sympathetic, middle
aged but youngish looking retired
army officer-an Immediately we'll
dressed man carrying Cane'-and
you may have some idea of the ap-
pearance of Britain's bachelor air
minister, the first Baron Thomson
Of Cardington.
Requires More Faith
aviation requires more faith,
more courage and more knowledge
than almost any other line in which
progress is being sought by human
beings" he continued. This prog
ress is not easy to accomplish. There
still are many obstacles to overcome.
But I believe we are on the confines
of great development of which the
political and economic effects are
almost incalculable."
Asked to say whether he antici-
pated any serious development in
transatlantic flying by means of
airships, as differentiated from air
plane flights across oceans, Lord
Thomson replied that considerable
progress remained to be made be-
fore trans Atlantic flying could be
made a commercial success.
But it should be borne in mind,
it seems to me-" he continued, that
dirigibles and airplanes are COM
plimentary Both will play their
part in conquest Of the air"

mans statement that Nellin or
Owens, as he knew him, would not
again frequent his sleeping place.
HAS anything serious happened?"
"Oh, not so very. The old fellows
better off. You'll find him down at
the morgue.'
Brent was not prepared for this
and plainly showed his surprise in
his expression, but he thought fast
before speaking and his voice was
level almost cold when he said:
well, no doubt he was not the man
I'm looking for and. after all, It's
not of any great Importance. Just
an old fellow I'm interested in.
Sorry to have troubled you"

back to his hotel. "Nellin was using
his middle name, Owens. Lucky
break for me-"
HIT did not feel that it was neceS
sary to go to the morgue and have
a look at Owens body, but on sec
ond thought he decided it was better
to do so rather than leave the mat
ter a stone unturned.
And when he had viewed the body
and allayed all doubt that owens
was indeed Charles Nellin he felt
in his mind. felt that his plans were
strengthened by the permanent re-
moval of Nellin. There was scarcely
a chance, now, that Cunningham or
his attorney. Greaves, would learn
of Nellins death.
There had been few things more
that he wanted to know about the
Cunningham heiresS and the must
clan. But he satisfied himself by
refreshing his memory with the
tale Nellin had told him the night
before.
Out of the morgue. and breath

a note or two of major interest and
trusted the rest to memory. The age
of the Nellin offspring fitted SPLEEN
didly into his scheme. A year
younger than Helen. No need to
jot it down.
And fortunately. from all he could
learn. Cunningham was not in pos
session of precise information con-
corning the birth of the child. A
years difference in the age that it
would sui: Brent'S purpose to give
the girl was not likely to be CUES

But whatever risk there was had
70 be taken. Helens age could not
be changed without arouSing her
suspicion or at least drawing forth
questions from her.
Brent settled this point in his
mind without hesitation and also
decided to see Helen as soon as pos
sible. It would be necessary. now
that his plans were changed. to start
