AGENTS IN
KILLING

ABINGDON, Va, May 9
IN.S. "A public fund was
being raised here today to
prosecute three State officers
who Monday night shot and
killed J. W. Kendrick, IL
year-old college student, on
suspicion that the car in which
he. was riding contained liquor.
Feeling is running high against
the officers, who have been
released On $4,000 bond.
Kendrick died yesterday in hos
pitaI at Bluefield. w. Va, just
across the State line. Two com.
panions, also students at Emory
and Henry College. were unin1ured
in the shooting.
Claim Car Didn't Stop
The students were en- route to
Bristol, Tenn.
Inc
MeReynolds, and Deputy Sheriffs
James Grove and J. P. Worley,
claim the students car did not stop
when hailed. The shots, they said,
were fired at the tires.
Sterling Dutton. driver of the car,
denied this, asserting they received
no orders to stop.
ITncIO To ProSecute
The dead youth made his home
with an uncle, E NJ. Kendrick, a
wealthy farmer, who declared he
would spent every cent l have to
prosecute the murderers of this
boy"
No liquor was found in the stu
dents car.
James McReynolds. assistant chief
of police of Abingdon, and deputy
sheriffs James Grove and J. P.
Worley, are at liberty under $4,000
bail in connection with the shooting
while Paul Phelps and Sterling
Dutton, fellow students of young
Kendrick at Emory and Henry Col
lege, near here. are held in $500
bond charged with intoxication.
Due to the prosecuting attorney
being out of the county, it could
not be learned whether a special
grand jury would be summoned to
investigate the shooting.

earlier in the week with rounds of
IA and 20. Hagens Ga staked him
to the lead through the hectic hours
of the. morning and midway through
the afternoon with a ttoal of 142

was unassailable.

An Epic Round
This epic round unpleasantly re:
minded the Anglican gallery of the
1927 championship and the par
flouting activities of Mr.. Bobby
Jones, the American amateur, who
set an all-time championship record
with a 72.hole total of 2S5 at
halIowed old st. Andrews.
Cheers For Hagen
A partisan British gallery usually
none too fond of Hagen, roared a
sportsmanlike tribute as the man
with the new championship record
walked off the green. Hagen was
machine like today, in direct vari-
ance with his customary rounds in
which wild shots are reclaimed by
sensational recoveries. He seldom
was sensational this morning just
a golfer whose finesse and control
was entirely too good for one of
the great courses of the world.
British Prestige Shot
DiegeIs outgoing and incoming
mines were a study in contrast.
For whereas he mixed brilliance
swith steadiness going to the turn,
it was sheer brilliance alone that
brought him home.
But whatever the post mortems
might be, the identity of the corpse
seemed to have been fairly well
established. With the nearest Brit
isher, Percy Allis, five strokes back
of the pace and with the Ameri.

FACE RUM
CHARGE

KEY WEST, Fla, May 8
1.N.S. Charges of violating
the national prohibition laws
will be preferred against
Walter Gramm, of Chicago,
brother-in-law of Representa-
tive NJ. A. Michaelson, dry
Illinois Congressman, who was
acquitted today on a similar
charge.
w. p. Hughes. acting United States
district attorney announced To-Day
that charges along the same lines on
which MichaeIson was tried will be
preferred against Gramm. He
would not say where the charges
wonId he made But said the trial
would be held here.
AS a brother-in-law to Michaelson,
Gramm claimed ownership. of the
trunks in which liquor was alieged
to have been found in the Jackson
Vile Terminal Station and which re-
suited in Michaelson's indictment.
Refused 10 Answer
Gramm claimed his constitutional
rights when he was asked directly
on the stand in Michaelson's trlal
il there was liquor in the trunks
and refused to answer similar ques-
tions asked by the prosecution
counsel.
He is planning on leaving to-
night for Chicago. He declared he
was willing to submit to arrest at
any time"
Michaelson followed Gramm to
the stand to deny having had any
knowledge that liquor was in the
trunks. He said that three of the
trunks were his and that two be-
longed to Gramm and one to Lester
Rain.
He denied any ownership OF the
six trunks seized in the Jackson
Vile terminal station and said that
his own trunks went on to Wash
ington.
Denies knowledge
"Did you have any knowledge OF
any liquor being in the trunks that
you brought in from Mr.. Gramm
and Mr.. Rain. or in your own
trunks. for that matter?" he was
asked.

Hathaway, Jacksonville baggage
master, was then called to the
stand. He said that the Chicago
solon pointed out to him his IA

trunks, and that he then placed
custom seals on them without ex'
animation Michaelson, the witness

NOTE IS CLUE IN
Staying Of
STUDENT

WINDSOR, Conn, May U.N.S),
With brief note. and .S2-cali-
ber exploded shell as their clues,
authorities today met with but lit
tie success in their attempt to solve
the mysterious Staying of Walter
Treadway Huntington, 1-yearold
Harvard College student.
Huntington body with hands
folded peacefully over his breast
was found lying in a roadside plot
here yesterday. A bullet had en-,
tered his head just above the left
ear. An empty shell, thought 10
have contained the fatal slug, lay
about foot frcm the body.
Note Found In Grass
The note. whose contents authori.
ties refuse to divulge, was found
in the grass on the other side of
the road.
"A theory Of suicide at first ad-
vanced was dissipated by Coroner
Costello and Medical Examiner
Pratt, who declared the youth s
death a clear case of homicide.
Determination of a possible mo-
tive for Huntington's Staying was
complicated by the revelation that
the youth was quiet. studious. some.
what girl-shy and had no known
enemies.
Room Cleaned Out
Despite a police guard around
Drayton Hall, the dormitory in
which young Huntington lived, the
slain youths sister and brother
cleaned out his room of all his
effects, thereby depriving the police
of the opportunity to conduct a
search for clues. Unfamiliarity
with police methods Is believed to
have been responsible for the pairs
action.

OFFICIAL s
To SAVE

The transfer of Harry r.
Sinclair, millionaire oil baron,
from the District Jail to
Occoquan, thereby relieving a
situation which admittedly has
become embarrassing to the
District Commissioners and
heads of the penal institutions,
lis believed to be a certainty
within the next few days.
That such a transfer win be
effected, according to rumors at the
District Building today following
several secret conferences between
George P. Wilson, director Of the
board of public welfare, and District
heads, seems almost assured.
Wilson "Sits Tight
Wilson, who .studiously avoided
making any definite statement on
the situation in regard to the ban
on writers at the District Jail, was
tied up in enc conference after
another with heads of the penal In
stitutions and the Commissioners.
One conference that added color
to the report that Sinclair soon
will be removed from the jail.
which is besieged by newspaper
men, to Occoquan, was with M. M.
Barnard, superintendent Of penal
institutions. Barnard came to
Washington Eurriedly following a
kA "a
John Joy Edison, chairman OF the
board of public welfare.
Edison, according to Wilson. ID IN
accord with the policy barring news
paper men from the Jail. and there
is believed Ito be little likelihood
the ban will be lifted until the
millionaire prisoner is either trans
ferred or his term expires.
Gag" On Barnard
Barnard, who had apparently been
given his orders in regard to dis
. cussing the new ruling promulgated
bv Wilson, talked about everything
under the sun but the District Jail
and what disposition is to be made
of Sinclair.
Many who are familiar with pro-
cedure at the jail express the belief
that statements being issued to the
effect that his incarceration is tell
ing upon his nervous system indi-
cate that Sinclair will not remain in
the Jail many more hours.
It is customary when prisoner
shows signs of breaking under the
strain of incarceration in the jail,
and they are serving terms in ex-
cess of 80 days, to send them to
the farm at Occoquan.

RUM CAR SEIZED
IN CHASE

Two rum automobiles came within
inches of smashing into each other
while travelling at about 80 miles
an hour early today while being
chased by police.
Six rum runners escaped during
the thrilling mile and half chase
in which one of their three cars
was seized with it's cargo of 432
quarts of Baltimore corn liquor.
Sergt. George M. Little headed
the liquor squad which chased the
three rum machines through south
east Washington.
The policemen were at Blair
and Riggs Roads Northeast when
the liquor car, escorted by pilot
machine and a "block" car. ran
past them. The three machines
were chased north on Blair Road.
The race had extended but three
or four blocks when the "block"
car dropped out of the picture-its
two occupants apparently deserting
their fellow rum runners to save
their own skins.
The chase proceeded north on
Blair Road to Rittenhouse Street,
where the two liquor automobiles
turned west.
Sergeant Little's car was gaining
on the expensive machine in which
the liquor was being transported
when the chase passed Fifth Street.
It was at this intersection that the
driver of the pilot automobile
dropped out of the race.

There they secured $40. They then

FARMERS FEED MILL OPENS

After weeks of preparation the
Sank Centre Farmers Shipping
Association has installed modern
feed mill in the building which was
recently purchased from the Sauli
Centre School Board and moved to
a location in close proximity to the
original plant on Railroad Avenue
south of the Great Northern tracks.
The equipment is new and up
to-date. The feed mill which grinds
both fine or coarse was manufact-
ured by the J. B. Hammermill
company, and is driven by rs h. p.
motor, with 3 horse motor for
the elevators. The building is large
enough to meet the requirements
of future expansion. There are
bins for the storage of oats, wheat
and corn. The mill is under the di-
rect supervision of H. w. Parker.
