SEEKING BOYS BODY
Authorities Organize Hunt to
Seek Corpse Of Missing
Melvin Horst

Wooster. Ohio. Feb. 16.-{P)-A new
ere today drew scarchers for the booy
of four-ycar-old Melvin Horst. miss.
ing from his home at C-rv!l.c Tor
more than a year.
On the strength of the third state
fn1cllt Of Charles Hannah. who has c
cused Earl Conald Of killing the boy
on the day of his disappearance Au-
liberties organized a hunt to cover
the valley of Sugar Creek three miles
south OF Orrville.
Hennah. in the presence Of ConAld,
last nigh. asserted that Conald dug
up the body two days after the slay-
Ing and reburied it in q thicket along
Sugar creek. He was called upon to
reitcrate his latest charges before
Ccnald after having denied them for
a short time.
Hannah's newest account caused
qucs:ioners once more to concentrate
on Conald today. but he would say. 4
don't know"
Officials we're inclined to believe
Hannah, but they were determined to
remain skcptical pending the out
conc of the search along the creek.
Yesterday morning +'-~u dug up the
back yard Of Hsrrah's former home
at Orrvilfe after he told them they
would find Melvin's body there, but
unearthed nothing. Hannah last
night said Conald at first buried the
body behind the Hannah home, but
later removed 1t.
Both Hannah and Conald have re-
peated during a weeks examination
that Melvin was killed when he ap-
peared in the garage where they were
drinking, but each hes ac~"scd the
other as the slayer and each denies
having buried the body. Unless the
body is found, officials plan to charge
them with child stealing.

AIR CORPS TAKES
 DAY OFF IN FIGHT
Honos Governor While Mytbi. cal Foe ''PiDageS" State

Sacramento, Cal, April 5 P-A theoretical enemy today slaughtered, rillaged and burned it's imaginary way through central California without meeting resistance as the army air corps abandoned it's de- fense positions and took a day off to honor Governor C. C. Young and to prepare for a weekend behind the front.
 The hypothetical loss of life and the amount of punitive destruction in the war-torn area could not be ascertained, because every con- muncation line had been wrecked by the theoretical thundcrbolt of the enemy. Every highway and railroad was theoretically blocked, shipping was imaginarily bottled up in San Francisco Bay and the popu- lace was in a state of 1igmentary terror.
 While all this was conjccturally going on, the 200 ficrs who have been defending the area since April 1 set the pace for a five-day week war by preparing 100 planes for a review before the California govcr- nor.
 Beginning Monday morning, how ever, the enemy will have to pay and pay and pay, because planes are going to leave Mather field here under sealed orders. They expect to rake the dastardly invaders with paper bombs and blank machine gun bullets.

New York, April P)-The long est nonstop distance flight yet at tempted by airmen of the United states-an 5000 mile air journey from New Haven, Conn, to Buenos Aires-is the ambitious project Of two former military fliors for con- summation.
 The first good day of the full moon-which will be sometime be- tween April and 15-should sc3' Lieut.. Comd. George R. Pond and Capt. Herbert (. Partridge, wing ing their way southward toward the southern cross Tn their ois single motored Stinson monoplana, plane built especially for su5- tained flight with a heavy load.
 The flight will be nonstop but at least four and perhaps five re- fueling contacts will have to be made as no ship yet has been built that can take a load of fuel off the ground necessary for such dis tance.
 For lack of an adequate ficl1 near New Haven from which to take off with a full load the first refueling contact will be at either Roosevelt field or Newark munich pal airport. From there their route carries them over Havana, for an other refuelins contact, across the Caribbean to Cristobal, Panama, for possible third refueling, down the windswept, fog bothered west coast of South America 70 Lima, Peru, for more fuel. to Santiago or Men contact and into Bucnos Aires. The fliers expect the voyage to take so to 90 hours.
 Partridge. who has nursed the iGea of the flight tor over a year while seeking financial backing, is a war flier and for several years was a test pilot for the army. He has 1000 hours of flying. Pond is q pre-war flier. called back to ac- tive service in 1917, an experienced navigator and the counsellor for the flight of the Southern Gross from California to Australia two years ago-counted the most suc- cessful ocean flight yet attempted. He has 5000 hours of flying. Their plane was originally built for an attempt at the worlds non- refueling endurance record. It has a 55 foot wing spread, is powere with a 425 horsepower Pratt anI | Whitney senior. Fuel tank of 2 capacity of 1000 gallons have been installed. The plane has cruising speed of 100 miles an hour and a service ceiling of 10000 feet

Trick Fire Bell Proves
 Puzzle to Department

Marshalltown, la. April P(- The Marshalltown fire bell should ring now only when there is a fire-or at the most only when somebody thinks there's one.
 The bell had been ringing every hour or so for days, and for no apparent reason. This, of course, caused all sorts of incon- venience to the tiremen - they never knew whether to dash out in search of a blaze or take an- other yawn.
 All sorts of traps were laid in hopes of catching the practical jokester, but none could be found. Finally the search led to the bell itself. There, it was found a breeding pigeon had built a nest around the electric cord leading to the gong. Part of the insulation had worn off and the wire had become en- twined with bits of string so that every time the pigeon turned the eggs, a contact was made that rang the bell.

Man Who Claimed Negro Servant Killed Wife and Child Apparently Link ed With Staying by Bloodstained Shirt - Jury Reverses Decision.

Sebring, Fla, April (UP)-This south Florida resort town today har- bored a missing murder mystery centering about William R. Carver, one of it's most influential citizens, who is under arrest charged with conceiying and executing an intrl- cate plot for the murder of his at tractive wife. their two-year.old son, and a negro houseboy.
 Carver's arrest yesterday brought to a sudden climax a case which at first gave the appearance that husband and father had killed only to protect his wife and child. 4 coroner's jury had returned a yer dict of 'justifable homicide" only 10 reconvene, suddenly reverse it's de- cision and involve Carver in a ma js of strong evidence.
 Evidence Contradictory
 Shortly after it was recalled. Deputy Sheriff A. r. Helm presented an affidavit alleging that Carver de- liberately planned the three deaths. New evidence. much of it contradic rested on warrants sworn out by District Attorney Grady Burton ani . Police Chief Stivender.
 Today the Highlands county grand jury met to consider the case and to hear evidence brought forth ,ipb i,, c tion of the coroner's jury. District Attorney Burton is expected to ask that murder indictments be return ed against Carver.
 The bodies of Mrs. Ruth Stapff Carver and her son were found mutilated in a room of their eX- . elusive home. Both apparently had been killed with hatchet or some other blunt instrument. Nearby was the body of the houseboy, shot . 10 death.
 : Carvers story was a plausible one. His wife had gone into a room in which her son was playing, and he countered Ben Whitehead, the houseboy. ransacking the room. The boy seized a hatchet when Mrs. Carver had been attracted by the ' struggle. He shot the negro dead.
 Blood Found On Shirt
 Then. shortly after Carver was released. new evidence came to light. Witnesses told the jury that a blood stained shirt had been found under q refrigerator. Others said Carver had changed his shirt short ly after they entered the home, and it was pointed out that Whitehead had ample time to escape, between ! the time of the alleged killing and - Carver's arrival.
 1nforma ation also was received to Inc effect that the four shots were heard from the home which con ,-.sradicted earlier testimony that r Carver fired only twice after he had entered.
 Burton said he had come into y possession of the slain woman's in ~ surance policy. which he said made - Carver the beneficiary of s1o,000 1, with double indemnity in case of ac- - cidental death. He would not say r whether he attached any importance v to this angle.
 :. Meanwhile Carver has retained ., Fairfax T. Haskins, prominent at D torney. A telegram was received .F from Mrs. Carver's brother, Julius = Stapff. of Cresco, Pa, asking fol y particulars and declaring the . ''charge against Carver ridiculous
 Carver's father, Samuel Carver .- who recently purchased the former P William Jennings Bryan home ir ? Miami, came here yesterday. :. The Carvers formerly lived ir :, Philadelphia.

To the Voters:

Affirming our faith in the political principles OF Thomas Jefferson, and asserting our op- position to the growth and en- croachments of the monopoly and corporation control of our city government.
 Never before, was a change more necessary in the wasteful, inefficient, extravagant spoil system of government at the ex- pense of the taxpayers who are finding it hard to meet their obligations than now.
 Equitable valuation of all taxable property by bonded ex- perts from one of several cor porations in this line of busi- ness. not influenced by local political machines Also CITY MANAGER FORM OF GOV ERNMENT, which would dis pense with political log-rollins and special interest.
 Pensions for people outlawed by age limit set by the greed of our big business institutions and unemployment insurance for the working people in emergencies such as the present, to be charged against the fabulous profits and surpluses created by the working people through im- proved and speed-up machinery.
 The gouging institution, known as the Public Utilities which, in their attitude of charge as much as the people can pay, regardless of their profits running in some cases as high as 45 per cent, on watered stock.
 If the people continue to elect those who are responsive to and servile to Machine Con- trolled Groups, there should be no complaint when monopoly begins to grind the people of our City. For years the small mer- chant and business man have been aligned with the Old Guard crowd in politics on the falla- cious assumption that their in- terests have been identical with theirs.
 They have all been business men and capitalists. Now they have discovered that they are like fish in an aquarium-the fish are all fish, but when the big fish begin eating the min noWs it is foolish to tell the minnows that their interests are identical with those of the biz fish. The small business man is being swallowed by the big fel- low and is becoming alarmed.
 Here in New Britain we will have opportunity to vote for Candidates who are being SUD- ported by big financial groups that are the beneficiaries of monopoly. There are candi- dates who stand for another philosophy--that the common welfare is paramount to big profits for a favored few. It will be interesting to watch next Tuesdays vote in an effort. to appraise how deeply this Ma chine Control of City Life has affected voters of our City.
 Tho people have an oppor- tunity next Tuesday to say whether or not they approve of a system that has produced high tax rate. unfair assess monts, waste and extravagance of the peoples money. Will they take the trouble next Tues day to go to the polls and reg lster their protest?
 Economy and efficiency must be practiced in our city govern mcnt, if taxes are to be kept from mounting higher, year by . year
