-------------------------- MIDCET'S KEEPER DRUNK MIDGET DISAPPEARS

A travelling carnival closed its show in Webster. Saturday night. Ac- cording to the route board the show was to open in New London, Monday night. To the lot of Edward Fallon fell the responsibility of taking a midget. who is part of the show, to the next set-up. Fallon did not prove conscientious guardian. Possibly the midget tempted him.
 Anyhow. the midget's bodyguard, also the midget. boarded a bus for Putnam, Sunday morning. Where they had been before that was not disclosed. They had unquestionably parked in some oasis As the bus rol- led southward Fallon showed distinct signs of present day liquor. Before the vehicle reached Putnam he had fallen in the aisle of the bus and re- fused to get up.
 When the bus reached Putnam, Fall lon was taken in charge by Sergeant Sponcey and locked up at the police station. No attention was paid to the midget about three feel tall He was last seen smoking a long. black, cigar in front of the Putnam Inn.
 In the city court, Monday morning, Fallon impressed the officials with his straightforward story. He said that both he and the midget had two drinks before boarding the bus. He pleaded guilty to being drunk. He could not tell the court why if he was drunk the midget happened to be sober. As a matter of fact he did not know where the midget was. He was allowed to go on payment of actual costs and set out to find his diminutive protege and square himself as best he could with the carnival owner.

Rosann Swimming Pool
 New City Enterprise
Venture is Vision of Antonio couIet. Approved by Board of Health
 Professional Swimmer Instructor

Down on Killingly avenue is a swimming pool. While it is a private enterprise 1t is a credit to this city and to the vision of Antonio Goulet. Realizing that there was no place for the youngsters. or adults. to learn to swim or go in bathing. Mr. Goulet bought a meadow south of the high way to Putnam Heights. At a great deal of expense he built a dam, ex- cavated where necessary, bottomed the pool with ten inches of sand, and developed a modern bathing place. To assure the public of every protection the pool has been inspected and ap- proved by the State Board of Health.
 Diving boards platforms, crib for children and electric lights have been installed. One may bathe by natural or artificial light In the pool is water horse. This is as difficult to ride as bucking broneho. NIT. Goulet will give a season ticket to the person who can ride the rubber animal across the pool.
 Life Guard
 The latest acquisition at the pool is a swimming instructor and life guard. Dick Chappelle. He started to swim at the age of six years and is winner of many meets in the Boy Scouts. For two seasons he has been life guard at the Pier at Newport. He is captain of the Marine Corps swim ming and water polo team, also in. structor in swimming and life saving. He holds several medals and cups for swimming and was on the swimming team at the Illinois A. C., under Johnny Weismuler. Mir. Chappeile is at the pool every day from 2 to 6.30 D. m.
 Another recent installation is the crib for children. making it perfectly safe for the little ones to bathe.
 The foresight and progr-essiveness of MT. Goulet adds to the variety of this eity's enterprises and gives the city much needed bathing pool.

Riley Attacks
Y0ung's Motive

SACRAMENTO, Jan. 81. U.P)-
State Controller Ray L. Riley today
attacked the mtoive behind Cover
nor Young's announcement that four
meetings of his executive cabinet
would be held in Los Angeles this
year as "an effort to curry political
favor in one of his weakest sections
of the state"
Both Sacramento newspapers gave
front page stories to an announce
ment printed by Los Angeles paper
that Governor Young was coming
more and more to realize that Los
Angeles was "the real state capital"
of California.
The governors council will meet
for the second time in six months in
Los Angeles tomorrow and Wednes-
day. Reports are to be given by
each of the Is department heads of
the state government. Because the
act creating the governors council
rquires that it meet in Sacramento
once each month, another meeting
will be held here Friday.

Pavement In
City Slippery

The song of blinking tire chains
was heard along Main street today
as motorists struggled against the
slipperiness caused by rain which
started at 6 o'clock this morning
and continued internationally
throughout the day. The first fall
was over by o'clock and it was
thought for a time that the clouds
would dispense before conditions
became still worse. A real good
shower just about noon dispelled
such hopes however, and the streets
soon became regular pools of water.
Road conditions between the val
ley ard Los Angeles and San Diego
have not been affected as yet by
the rain, according to report from
the local office of the Automobile
Club of Southern California. Ac-
cording to their report gentle light
rains prevail all over the southern
part of the state, but no serious
storms have been reported as yet.
Travellers are warned, however, to
be on the safe side and take a set
of tire chains as part of their equip
ment.

KEEP UP SEARCH
FOR BODIES OF
LOST AVIATORS
Discovery OF EielsOn's
Wrecked Plane Hints
Men Are Dead.

SEATTLE. Wash, Jan. o.. tU.P'-
Dog sled parties were TO set out
today for point on the frozen coast
Of northern Siberia to hunt for the
bodies of Lieutenant Carl Pen Eiel-
son and Mechanic Earl Borlard, be-
lieved to be buried in deep snow near
the wreckage of their airplanc.
The wreckage of the p a @ in
which the flyers left Teller, Alaska,
November 9, cnroute to the iccbound
fur ship Nanuk, was found by two
search pilots, Jose Crosse nand Fred
Gillian, 90 miles south of the Nanuk.
There is only faint possibility that
Eielson and Borland are alive. Their
emergency rations were found intact
in the planes cabin, according to
radio messages from Crosson.
Crosson and Gillian had made eight
flights from the Nanuk in an effort
to find some trace of Eielson and
Borland.
The wrecked plane was sighted by
CIosson as they were flying south
ward about - miles from the coast
Line. Both pilots said that they had
flown over practically the same ter
ritory before but always in heavy
weather when visibility was poor.
Saturday reflected suns rays on the
smashed cabin of the Eielson plane
extracted their attention.
Crosson = message said that the
wreck of the plane was scattered
over an area of 100 feet, indicating
that Eielson crashed while III full
flight and not while attempting to
make a landing.
Borland $ father and his wife were
advised of discovery of the plane
in radio message from the Nanuk
yesterday.
The elder Borland said the plane
was known to have flown low over
a reindeer camp before it disap-
reared finally, and he believed that
his son and Eielson left the plane
and made their way to that camp,
leaving their food supplies behind
because they were not needed.
The laconic message from Crosson
and Gillian said:
"Sorrv to inform you that Ben
Eielson plane totally wrecked about
so miles from here. Plane buried IN
deep snow and could not o a q
bodies. Very evident Eielson and
Borland killed instantly. Pilot IS
cockpit torn way rom engine,
which lies about 100 feet from cabin.
Dispatching dog team to cxcavate
around plane"
The flyers found it impossible to
land close to the wreckage bee ause
Of rough ground conditions, but
planned to return later to point
as near as possible, carrying dogs
and a sled with which to continue
;hc search.
