today postponed action on the Nyc
resolution proposing an investiga-
tion of the federal farm board $ pol

RETAIN CRYSTAL

CRYSTAL LAKE, H., Mar. I.
W,H The sparkling stone as big
rs goose.egg, that Ed Tesscndort
found on his farm and gave to his
little son as a plaything, was in the
possession of thieves today and the
farmer and his wife, Emma, were
suffering from the tortures the rob-
ters inflicted to learn It's hiding
lace.
While digging a ditch months ago,
Tesscndorf spaded up the big semi
transparent stone. He gave 1t to
his year old son Earl. Later the
mother noticed that the stone would
cut glass and she persuaded her hus-
hand to send it to 4 jewcler for
cvaluation.
Gossip among neighboring farmers
evolved 4 story that the stone was
a diamond worth 100000,
Yesterday an automobile stopped
in front of the Tcsscndorf's farm
home and two men got out. One, tall
end slim. walked toward the house.
The other met the farmer at the
barn. Before Tessendorf could de-
fend himself, he fell under blow
from pistol butt.
"Where's the $4,000 diamond"
the robbers demanded when lessen
0orf had revived and had be c n
forced to the house.
Don't tell them Ed his wife
warned.
Then for two hours Tessendorf
was tortured. His cheeks were scared
with glowing cigar ends and his
nails plucked out. Only when one
:obber fired shotgun at Mrs, Tes-
sendorf would the farmer reveal his
sccret.
"Look under the clock ON the
,@antlc,' he said.
Today the farmer admitted he had
sent the stone to a Chicago jcweler.
The answer had been: every fine
crystal, worth probably $500"

san BERNARDINO, Calf, Mar.
1. W.R - Two posses containing a
dozen men today searched the rug
ged Lake Arrowhead region Of the
San Bernardino mountain range in
the vicinity where j. II. Barber, Il
young rancher, is certain he saw the
wreckage of n Western Air Express
plane which carried three men.
Rarbcr last Sunday secuted 90
miles from his ranch home and from
a high peak looked into Il box like
Iavine and saw what he is certain
was the wreckage of the paine pill
oted by James E. Doles and carry
ing Arthur Beiber, co-pilot, and John
Slaton. steward.
Barber reported his find to Sheriff
Walter Shay here yesterday and
Shay sent two deputies back with
the rancher.
They searched until late last night
but Barber said he was handicapped
by the fact that rain and snow
storm wiped out his trails and land
marks.
The party spent the remainder Of
the night at Cox's ranch and set
out early this morning. The sheriff g
men and Barber were to be joined
by another party headed by Western
Air Express officials.
Storm conditions over the noun
tain made search by air very diff
cult. Two Western Air planes man
aged to cruise over the region late
yesterday but the pilots reported
they saw nothing.
This did not tend to discredit Bar
hers claim, it WAS said, because of
the weather and the fact that Bar
Der alone knows the exact spot where
he says he located the plane wreck
age in the wild raVine.
Chances that the three flyers were
alive in the storm swept mountains
werc not very bright, aviation men
.grced. They had food and water
sufficient for from ~ days to two
weeks when tEcy set out from King
man, Ariz., for Los Angeles week
