PLAN TO DRAG LAKE
FOR ORATORS BODY
Authorities Suspect Missing
New York JuriSt Met
With Foul Play.

BY the Associated Press.
AUGUSTA. Me, September 22-Be-
cause of a suspicion of foul play, a
grand jury inquiry and the dragging OF
lakes for the body of Justice Force
Orator of New York were under con-
sideration today by State authorities
Action in Kenuebec County, where
the Orators have a Summer home at
Belgrade Lakes, was inspired by letter
TO County Attorney Frank E. Southland
from District Attorney Grain of New
York, saying that some of Justice
Orators associate thinks he has been
the victim of foul play-possibly in
your jurisdiction"
Justice Orator has been missing since
August g. Many of his friends have ex-
pressed the belief that he was killed for
the $3.50 which he drew from the
bank the day he disappeared, but the
asSupmtion was that if he met foul play
1t was near New York where he was
last seen in the Broadway theatrical
district.
Capt Joseph F. Young, jr., deputy
chief of the State highway police ar
ranged to question Mrs. Stella Orator
wife of the missing 1urist, and two
servants today. Southland said he also
planned to question them tomorrow. If
their answers were unsatisfactory,
Southland said, they probably would be
taken before the grand jury next week.
Southard added that he might have
Orators Summer home searched.
Mrs. Orator has refused to appear be-
fore New York jury. District Attorney
Grain said her answers to question:
naire sent to her had been "unsatisfac-
tory"

FIRE DESTROYS
50 PLANES

CHICAGO. June 25 0.NS3.-
Loss Of more than $4,000, 900 was
sustained and airplane service out
Of Chicago virtually crippled
when an early morning fire
destroyed three hangers and so
airplanes at the Municipal Airport
here today.
Hangers Of the Universal and
Grey Goose Airlines. and one Of
the two Stout line hangers were
burned.
The so airplanes included 20
large tri-motored Fokkers, each
valued at SIS, 900.
Two big Ford tri-motored planes
housed in the Stout hangar were
the only planes saved. Seven
others were rolled from the
hangers by employees who risked
their lives, but all the ships
caught fire and burned to the
ground.
Almost all the planes had been
fueled and the gasoline tanks
were full. AS a result the fire
flashed through the hangers
rapidly.
A gasoline explosion in the
Universal hangar was believed to
have started the fire.
Tanks Of gasoline and oil hin.
dered the work of fire fighters
and made the task Of subduing
the blaze hazardous one. Night
crews were asleep in the rear OF
the hangers, when the fire broke
out, but they were able to escape
and help in checking the flames.
