G.N.S0-The body of Clarence
o. Mcguire, 23-year-old air mail
pilot on the Cincinnati to In
dianapolis route, was found in
an open field near here today.
Mcguire. who has been flying
this route Of the air mail for
the past three years, left Gin
cinnati at 4 q. m. and was due
in indianapolis at 4:S0.
His ship had apparently de-
veloped motor trouble and in at
tempting to jump to safety, his
parachute became fouled and
failed to open. The ship crashed

The bullets were fired from q

Dr.. Hamilton Tells Court He Has III.
Served As Expert in 279 Cases

When called to the stand, DR.
Hamilton was asked by Defense
Attorney Charles Henry Smith:
''What experience have you
had in your prOfessiOn?"
"FOrty-five years in most of
the departments, but, i'm some
cases, more than that"

Studied IN Factories
DR.. Hamilton then stated that
during his As years experience he
has studied the manufacture of
firearms and bullets in every fac.
tory throughout the United States
and in several foreign countries.
He stated that there were two
separate and distinct methods of
procedure in studying bullets and
firearms.
One Of these methods, he said,
dates back As years and consists
of microscopic and sometimes a
chemical study Of the bullet in
question and the revolver.
The other and more modern
method, DR.. Hamilton said, was
the surrounding of an expert with
instruments designed for the meas,

QUAKE KILLS "a,
INJURIES $50

ROME, Oct. 30 d.N.sJ.-
Twenty-four persons were re.
ported killed and 1870 injured to
day in the earthquake which
tumbled houses along the italian
.Adriatic coast from Ancona to
Ravenna.
Almost total paralysis of tele-
graph and telephone communi-
cation rendered difficult the col
lection of reliable information.
On the basis of the meager dis
patches reaching Rome up to
2 p. m. it appeared that the
town of Sinigaglia suffered the
most damage. Twenty persons
were reported dead there, and the
number of injured vas large.
Fifty persons were reported in
jured at. Ancona. e.
On instructions from the cen
tral government, troops have
taken over control of the stricken
areas and begun relief measures.
. The list of casualties grew
steadily as reports from outlying
districts came in.
Eight persons were reported in
5ured in the village of Pesaro,
and % injured at Mondolfa.
1t is believed many others may
have been hurt in the remote
villages of the province of An
coma.
SeismologiSts here believe the
epicentre of the quake was in
the middle Of the, Adriatic Sea,
and that for this reason was
much less disastrous than it
might have been had 1t occurred
on land.
The main land tremors are
! said to have been preceded by
Eubterranean rumblings and a
tidal wave at AnCona.

GALVA, ILL.,. Oct. o GN.S
State police and deputy sheriffs,

battle with three suspected mem
bers of the gang which kidnapped
Earl L. Yocum, millionaire banker,
finally pursuing them to a corn
field after the trio abandoned an
automobile.
The trio is believed to have
escaped. An airplane is aiding in
the search.
Two hundred shots were ex-
changed, it was estimated, and one
of the trio is believed wounded
Police seized the abandoned car
which is believed to have been
used in the abduction of Yocum.
Yocum was released by the gang
after paying part Of q ransom OF
$50, 900.
The gang was on its way to
bomb the bankers mansion here,
police believe, for Yocum ;'as
threatened by long distance tele-
phone at midnight and told that
unless an additional sum was paid
his home would be razed. An
armed guard of fifty deputies and
American Legio~ men surrounded
the bankers house to prevent the
attack. SearchightS were played
upon the hou. by defenders dur
ing the early morning.
Guns Found In Car
In the car abandoned by the
extortionists police found several
guns and a large quantity of
ammunition. The car was manned
by a Chicago gang, Sheriff
Charles Nash asserted. A hood,
believed to have been used to
cover Yocum'S head, also was
found.
Directed by Walter Moody,
chief of the State highway police,
the large posse left Kewanee
shortly after midnight. Moody
had learned the license number
of the kidnaper's automobile from
persons who had seen the kid.

opened fire when they attempted
to speed away. The bandit car
was forced into a ditch and the
three men leaped out and con-
tinued firing as they ran into the
woods.
The posses were to close in at
dawn in an attempt to capture

BREMEN SWAMP A. N. B. QUINTET
Department Squad Shows Under Opposition 58
 to 2l in Comedy Tilt

In one of the funniest basketball battles seen on the local courts this season, the Juneau Bremen swamped the Juneau Alaska Native Brotherhood outfit 58 to 21 in the High School gym last night.
 This is the first tilt the Bremen have copped in four starts. Junge, who has been shooting poorly all season broke down in the first quarter and sank his first one since December 27, and before he left the floor in the third period had totalled 12 points to make himself high-point man for the evening.
 The A N B. bunch was com pletely outclassed from the start and after the Bremen had piled up 26 points to 4 for the opposition they began sending in substitu- tions. Some unique plays were at tempted by both sides, some of them recalling the old days when the great American game of foot ball was played in Juneau.
 Bremen Start Slowly
 In the opening canto the Bremen piled up only 5 chalkers before the A. N. B. scored. They ran their score to at the end of the quarter, while the other side failed to count again. By the time the Bremen had pushed the score to 23 in the seoond eanto the A. N. B. scored cnce more, and the half found the score at 26 to 4.
 The A. N. B. bunch took a bracer ir the third round and managed to count II points. while the Firemen made l9, putting the game at 46-l5 again Fl the last quarter the A N. B. did better than in either of the opening cantos, and scored six points, the Bremen 13.

rush again and at the same time prevent the defense from doing the same thing while the ball is alive? There is absolutely no reason ex- cept that the Rules Committee are hard put to it to do something. American Rugby and it's troubles and defects are the result of treat ing symptoms.
 "(2) The rule is bad from a sporting standpoint. In the blind mass game fumbles are often caused by temporary nerve paralysis, loss of wind or consciousness. It is not in the least sporting propo- sition to take a ball away from an unsconscious opponent, yet the slogan since 1880 has been tackle low and throw hard with the pur- pose (among others) of producing a tumble"
 Quite few coaches, among them Howard Jones of Southern Califor- mia, feel that the present tumble rule is inconsistent in allowing the offensive side to advance fumbled ball while not giving the defensive side this privilege, which it's for merly enjoyed. But the Rules Com- mittee's contention is that the of fensive side suffers enough penalty, in either case.
