desert and the Atlas mountains
hunting for trace of General Fern.
andez Silvestre and number of
other distinguished Spanish Officers,
believed to be slaves under cruel
Moorish masters, returned today
without finding any clue to the
missing Spaniards.
In July, 1920, Spanish army of
81 900 men under General Silvestre
was ambushed by the Riffian war
riors under Abdel Krim at Annoual
in Spanish Morocco.
Thereafter there was constant
rumor that the general and his aides
had been carried off the battlefield,
wounded. Recovered from their
wounds they had been put to work
by their captors and were living the
lives of slaves. f''t'
Returning from Southern Morocco
and Algeria, Colonel Batala has for,

he states that he has not found a
single trace which would lead him
to believe that the Spanish Officers
are alive and prisoners of the

BRITISH ARREST
FOLLOWERS OF
INDIAN LEADER

BOMBAY, India, Apr. 7.-tU.H-
The force of the British empire de-
scended today upon disciples of
Mahatma Gandhi, India's "peace-
full rebel" and threw scores of rev
olutionists into Jail for their deliber-
ate defiance of English law.
Sevcnty.one disciples of the Nah,
atma, including his son, Ram Das
Gamdhai, were hustled into prison
in the first 25 hours of Gandhi s
national campaign of civil disobe'
dience.
Gandhi s gesture of revolt against
the laws forbidding manufacture of
salt, and against the burden of the
salt taxes, was thus successful, in
that it produced the effect for
which the revolutionists had prayed.
1t was an overt act against British
rule, and it brought instant retalia'
ton from the government.
The Mahatma himself was un-
touched, although it was he, at the
salt marshes of Dandi, who signal.
zed the beginning of the revolt and
his disobedience campaign by
scooping the first dipper of salt
laden water from the sea, while a
white clad host cheered the cere-

quests that ali farmers who have re-

should have them made out as soon
as possible before the enumerators
reach their ranches.
The Farm bureau has sent out
sample schedules to all the farmers
for the convenience both of the
ranchers and the census takers, but
20 the present the former have been
very slow in responding and many
of them have taken no measures
TO have these papers all made up ana

HAWKS SUCCEEDS
IN COMPLETING
GLIDER FLIGHT
Noted Airman Lands At
New York After Cross.
Country Trip

NEW YORK, Apr. 7.-U.H-New
York paid tribute today to Captain
Frank NJ. Hawks, the first man to
cross the continent in a glider tow
ed by an airplane.
Out of leaden sky yesterday
afternoon Hawks glided his power
less craft within sight of $4,000
people waiting in the drizzle at
Van Cortlandt Park, and brought
the "Eaglet' down to earth in a
series of graceful spirals, ending
the eight day trip from San Diego,
Calf, in schedule time. despite
handieaps and rough trip from
Buffalo.
The flyer, who also holds the
records for nonstop flights across
the country, was greeted by his
wife. The crowd cheered and ap-
peared about to mob Hawks, but
were kept back by mounted police.
Hawks exhibited blistered hands,
caused by an all-day battle with
controls as the light craft was buf-
feted about by head winds and air
currents. Questioned about the
possibility of future air trains car
rying passengers and freight, he
merely said they were possible de-
velopments.
But the glider has other advan
tages, which, in Hawks opinion,
are even more important, he re-
vealed in a radio speech. He said
it provided a less expensive form
of aviation experience, and ought
to serve to make flying more popu-
lar.
Hawks was enthusiastic in urg-
ing young men to take up the sport
of gliding, and said the thrills of
free gliding were greater than those
experienced while being towed by
an airplane. He said every pilot
ought to know how to handle o
glider, and expressed the belief
that the department of commerc.
would soon make it prerequisite to
obtain a license.

J. d. "Duke" Jernigan, pilot of the
tow plane, ended their most trouble
some day in the air. They had left
Buffalo on the last lap in the
morning despite predictions of bad
weather.
Over Syracuse they struck a gale
and current caused the glider to
soar upward. The tow line strain
ed, and for a while, Hawks said he
thought he might have to abandon
the ship and descend in parachute.
But the sturdily constructed craft
managed to Weather the storm.
The air train stopped at Albany
for refueling, the last city of 20
where stops were made. The flight
from San Diego required 35la hours
of actual flying time and covered
295O miles. Hawks put in 6 hours

FOX GIVES UP
ACTIVE CONTROL
OF HIS THEATRES

NEW YORK, April 7. W.P-The
long standing battle over the con
troll of the $l6,000,0O0 Fox Film and
Theater enterprises has been set
tied.
Samuel Untermyer, attorney for
William Fox, announced last night
that the film magnatc had sold his
controlling interest in the companies

legal controversy which has been
going on ia the state and supreme
courts for several months.

odeon theatre in Brooklyn into the
gigantic fin, and theatfe business
bearing his name, will continue
to be associated with the venture
being retained as chairman of its
advisory board for five years.
Untermyer revealed that a refin
ancing plan involving both the
Bancamcrica Blair plan ana Halsey
Stuart & Company had been negOti
ated.
Un'ermyer's announcement cam
at time when the court affairs o'
FoX's interest were apparently
hopelessly muddled in hundreds OF
legal documents.

the new plan is expected to be NOR,

FOLSOM STATE PRISON, April
Z. W.P)-Prison routine went on as
usual here today, the convicts show
ing no signs that they knew two
fellow prisoners were dead and an
other dying as the result of an at
temped escape.
Prison officials at first took pre-
cautions against another general
riot, such as occurred here on
Thanksgiving day of 1927 and for
which five men were hanged, but it
was soon apparent that the three
men had planned the break alone.
Harry Stewart, Sc, Edward D.
Parker, AZ, and w. H. Tinkelnaugh,
}3, all serving life terms for rob
berry, ran for several hundred feet
within range of the rifles of guards
IN seven towers. If they hat
lodged the bullets they would have
had to face machine gun or juml
nto the swift current of a cana
before they could have escaped out
side the walls.
Seventeen shots were fired, tn
first ones going high as warnings
Then the guards aimed r. the mel
md six Of seven bullets hit thei
marks. Stewart died almost instant
| ly, Baker succumbed 40 minute
later and Tinkelpaugh was reported
near death.
Baker, who had openly boosted
that death would be better than ;
whole lifetime in prison, was thu
leader.
The regular Sunday baseball
game was in progress at the tim'
ct the shooting but there was nj
