NEW YORK, October 1.-THE where
abouts Of Charles v. Bob, capitalist and
patron of aerial explorations, was the
subject OF both private and of1cial con-
lecture today.
Concern was first caused when Bob,
who had been scheduled to fly here from
Chicago failed to arrive Later his plane
was found in Chicago hangar, but 1t
was discovered he had checked out of
his hotel on Wednesday.
He was flown to Chicago by his regu-
lar pilot, Col. Dean Lamb. Business
associates here said he had intended to
return last night with Lamb and Fred
erick G. Russell, whom they described
as his "right-hand man"
After articles concerning Bob were
printed in the newspapers, Assistant At
torney General Watson WaShburn an
nounced his office had been seeking Bob
for several days for information con-
corning two companies it had under
investigation, the Rainbow Luminous
Products Co. and Metal and Mining, Inc

who Is Bob'S lawyer, and George L.
johnson of River Grove, Ill, president
of Metal and Mining.
johnson was unable to tell them any,
thing about the company, its books and
records, the whereabouts of the stocks
in which it dealt or the banks in which
it made deposits. He said Bob was chair
man of the company and its affairs
were completely in his hands. He said
Russell, who went to Chicago with Bob,
was the only other man who knew any
thing about the company.

effort was made to subpoena Bob, but

EXPOSITION PLAN
OUTLINED BY DARR
Industrial Show Help to Cap
itaI Beauty, Radio Audi
ence Told.

Scouting as fallacious the view that
an industrial exposition is a definite
step toward conversion of Washington
from a city of beauty to one of tower
ing factories, belching chimneys and
"other accourtrements of an industrial
community" Charles W. Darr, presi-
dent Of the Washington Chamber of
Commerce, in an address broadcast
over Station WMAL last night, outlined
plans for the 1880 Industrial Expo-
sition which will be held in the WASH
ington Auditorium the week of Novem-
Der 3. The promotion Of the EXPOSE
ton Is definite part of the five-year
expansion program recently announced
by the chamber, Mr.. Darr said.
THE Washington Chamber of Com
merce," the speaker said, is keenly
concerned with protecting the beauty.
charm and unique spirit that is SO pc
culiar to the Capital. Washington. as
the Capital City of the United States,
should be second to none in magnifl-
cence.
Work to Be Provided.
"At the same time, however" Mr..
Darr said, "a well balanced community
must be able to sustain itself eco
nomically. It must provide work for
its boys and girls as well as for its men
and women. 1t must have a firmly
functioning economic structure through
which 1t can grow and prosper in pro-
portion to the growth and greatness of
the Federal Government itself. That
this growth can be accomplished with
out detriment TO the beauty Of the city
and that 1t can very definitely add to
the community's well-being is the con-
viction of the Chamber of Commerce.
This conviction has been indicated
during the past few years. Washing
tons private business and industrial
enterprises are gaining new strength
and vigor and they are increasing in
number and in volume OF their output.
Place for Development.
There is a place In the District for
the sound development of great va
riety Of business and industrial enter
prises which can go forward hand In
hand with the development OF the COM
munity as the seat Of the Federal Gov
eminent"
In concluding his radio talk Mr..
Darr outlined the many exhibits PLAN
ned for the sixth annual exposition,
which include displays of lighting ana
heating by gas and electricity, access
series for use in these fields, utilities OF
transportation and telephone organi-
zations, Office equipment, house fur
nishings, palatable products, and the
like. A feature of the exposition will
be an exhibit by the Typothetae OF
Washington, which will incorporate ex-
hibits Of the Government Printing ONCE
and the Bureau of Engraving and
Printing. A typewriting and shorthand
contest and model aircraft competition
are also planned for the exposition.

MRS. SETON STARTS
JOURNEY TO ORIENT
In Addition to Collecting
Writing Material She viii
Make chronological Studies.

The urge TO explore has again taken
Grace Thompson Seton away from her
native land to the PARKWAY corners Of
the globe. This time it Is the call Of
the East. She sailed this past week
from San Francisco for the Orient,
where, after a brief stop at Honolulu,
she will continue her travels on through
Japan and China, Siam and Malaysia,
probably including In her itinerary the
Philippine Islands.
Mrs. Seton, who is a keen student of
government, is particularly interested to
observe conditions In China. In addition.
to collecting material for future writ
ings, Mrs. Seton will also make
chronological studies in the lands she
visits.
Mrs. Seton first acquired her love OF
travel and exploration through her hus-
band, the famous naturalist, Ernest
Thompson Seton, whom she accom-
panied on his quests for information
concerning wild animals and Their
haunts. About 10 years ago, however,
Mrs. Seton entered the field Of ex-
ploration on her own behalf
In the Summer of 1926 Mrs. Seton
and Mrs Marshall Field. jr, were the
first white women to set foot in certain
remote parts OF South America visited
by the expedition conducted under the
auspices of the Field Museum OF
Natural History of Chicago, of which
the two women were members. She is
reputedly the only woman to have
visited the Chaco region in Paraguay,
where she collected some interesting
animal species. She crossed the Andes
into Chile, Bolivia and Peru, where she
studied the remains of the ancient
Incas.
Upon her present journey, Mrs. Seton
will visit Cambodia and the mysterious
ruins of Angkor, as we'll as the out-of-
the-way places of Sunda and Banda
Archipelago.
AS national president of the National
League of American Pen Women, as
well as by her numerous writings, Mrs

with subpoenas calling for their pres
ence forthwith.

CITY HALL ROW
CAUSES ARREST
ON FEE CHARGE
Hammond Druggist Leading
Opposition to Building
Accused by Official.
En- Times Spcci

En- Times Special
HAMMOND, Ind, July 26.-Carl
Nelson, a druggist, is under arrest
as a new development in the fight
over a proposal to build 100000
city hall here. Nelson, leader of
those opposing the erection of the
building, is charged with violation
of a city ordinance because he sold
sandwiches at his store without
paying a $40 license fee.
Charles Scott. leader of the forces
favoring the building, caused the
arrest.
Nelson asserted the councilman
had allowed "pettiness and venom"
to enter the controversy over the
city hall and declared that if this
is Mr.. SCOTS way of fighting me
on the city hall proposition he is
certain to lose"
The druggist declares his failure
to pay the license fee was due to
an oversight and suggested that
Scott should have notified him
rather than have him arrested.
Reports that A. Murray Turner.
park board official, is financing the
campaign against the city hall and
using Nelson as a tool, were brand
ed "all lies" by the druggist.
Two hundred petitions urging city
officials not to construct the build
ing, which we're circulated by Nell
son, will be returned to him tonight
for filing.
