Theory OF PLANES
ROBBERY ADVANCED
Fear That Plane Was PIundered
and Burned and Pilots
Killed Is Growing

Los Angeles, Mar. 15.-R-Of-
ficials Of the Western Air Express
here admit there is q possibility the
mail plane piloted by Maurice Ora
ham, which disappeared during his
flight between Los Angeles and Salt
Lake City Jan. 10 may have been
looted and destroyed and his body
buried.
This theory was elected from the
officials when it became known the
Nevada State Journal Of Reno today
was publishing q story the missing
plane carried $750.O0O in currency and
securities amounting to nearly $780,
900. that the country over which
Graham Was flying has been thor
ouehly searched and that searching
parties believe the plane never landed
In the territory over which q severe
storm ragged the day Graham dis
appeared.
Members Of the searching parties,
the Journal says. expressed the belief
that Il the plane landed, 1t was de-
stroyed and the body Of the pilot
buried BY those who robbed the wreck
1.-THE officials would neither CON
firm nor deny the report the mail
bags carried by Graham contained
the large amount Of cash and secur-
tiles. but admitted that the plane car
rted q shipment Of valuable mail"

CONSTANCE, ATLAS
SUGGESTED NAME
FOR NEWEST PLANET
Work Of Selecting Title for
Ninth Body Of Solar Sys-
tenn Taken Up

New York. Mar. 15.-R)-Numerous
suggestions for a name for the newly
discovered ninth planet of the solar
system were before the astronomers
at the Lowell observatory at Flag
staff, Ariz.. today.
Roger Lowell Putnam, of Spring
field, Mass, a member of the observ-
atory board of trustees and a nephew
of DR.. Percival Lowell, founder OF the
observatory. said Atlas vas the best
suggestion that had come to him.
He also suggested Thenae of Con-
stance, in honor of DR.. Lowell's
widow.
Constance. he said, was a name
easily translated into all languages
and connected the firmness of DR.
Lowell's conviction that the planet
existed. DR.. Lowell discovered" the
ninth planet Is years ago mathe-
matically through computations Of
the peculiar influence being exerted
upon the planet Uranus.
Mrs. Lowell, whose home Is in Bos.
ton, said that she thought the new
planet should be named Percival in
honor Of her late husband.
DR.. Harlow Shapley, director Of the
Harvard observatory, through whom
the announcement Of the new planet
was made, suggested it be named
Kronos, after the NEUROLOGICAL father
of the six principal Greek gods.
Final choice of a name rests with
the staff of astronomers of Lowell
observatory, who, it is believed. will
consult the American Astronomical
society for suggestions.

Millions Keeping Appointment With
Uncle Sam as Tax Returns Are Due

However, the collapse Of the stock
market late in the year and the flat
reduction Of one per cent in the rate
Of taxation were regarded as the
sources Of radically lessened returns
although many officials held the opti-
mistic view that the lessened pay
ments caused by the market crash
would not be so devastatingly low as
had ct first been feared.
The reflection Of this loss In the
returns they thought might be par
TALLY offset by increased tax pay

higher In 1920 than in 1925.

London, Mar. 15.-RD-A 100 per
cent agreement among the United
States, Great Britain and Japan was
said in naval conference circles today
to be an accomplished fact as far as
the delegations are concerned.
Approval by the home governments
OF the Acknowledgements settlement
which closed yesterday was said to be
ne only thing remaining to enable
these three delegations to write finish
to their naval conference difficulties,
Agreement Completed Circle
For days these delegations have
been SO close to agreement that there
was said to have been little between
them. A provisional Amertcan-Jap-
anese agreement, achieved by Senator
Reed and Ambassador Matsudaira. is
understood to have been the one
thing needed to complete the circle.
Observers said what this amounted
to was that If this agreement is ap-
proved by the home governments, the
United States, Great Britain and
Japan will be in q position to sign q.
three-power pact at any minute Is
this should seem desirable.
There remains the crisis surround
ing France and Italy and the next
move would seem to be up to these
two.
Tardieu Is Awaited
The conference today was more or
less marking time awaiting the ar
rival of Premier Tardieu from Paris
for a conference with Prime Minister
Macdonald tomorrow. Upon this I'm
portant conversation may depend the
outcome of the naval conference as
far as q five-power pact for limita-
ton is concerned.
The report Of the American-Jap-

of a sensation here when it became
known. Just what this settlement is
