STORY ABOUT TWO BOYS ON TRACK
 PROVEN UNTRUE
Claimed They Were Tied There By Maniac and Left to Die-Lads Told Story to Scare Mother

Mt Clemens, Mich, May 7-UP) The mystery of the "bearded maniac" for whom every police agency in southeastern Michigan had hunted for three days, has been solved. The maniac" was a hoax. conceived in the mind of two small boys who disliked the daily chore of searching for stray Jumps of coal along the Grand Trunk railway tracks near here.
 The boys, Edward Spoutz, IS, and his brother, Charlie, IA. were found by their sister. Dorothy, II, trussed to the railroad tracks. They told a vivid story of being attacked by a swarthy madman, armed with pistol. The madman, they said, tied them to the tracks and left them to be killed by train due at that point within an hour.
 State police started a search. From several sections reports came that the madman had been seen. A truck driver "gave him a ride" at Flint. He was arrested" at Port Huron. and several other points. He was seen" at Monroe, headed for Toledo. But the boys failed to identify the suspects. and later they admitted their story was untrue designed to scare their mother from sending thems on coal hunting er- rands.

WIDE SEARCH IS MADE FOR KILLER
 OF POLICEMAN
Francis Crowley, Believed /. to Be Guilty of Several
 Mdrders-Same Kind of
 Pistol Used

New York, May 7-UP)-Fran- cis Crowley, a youth with a quick trigger finger who gloried in his self-applied appellations of killer and two gun" continued to-day to elude police who sought him as the alleged killed of Patrolman Fred erick Hirsch, in North Merrick, l.. l., and in connection with other seri- ous crimes.
 Hirsch was killed with the same pistol that ended the life of liar lem dance-hall entertainer few weeks ago and seriously wounded Bronx detective two months ago, according to Detective Harry Butts, ballistic expert of the New York po- lice department.
 . In all three cases. witnesses have named the curly haired youth of 20. An airplane was used in the hunt for the fugitive on Long lsiand' while 100 satte troopers, Nassau caunty police and officers from New York and Yonkers passed up food and sleep to seek information as to Crowley's whereabouts. Meantime, police had a theory that Crowley's companion in a "petter's lane" tryst, Helen Walsh, 16, had been killed to prevent her giving evidence of how the patrolman was brutally shot when he sought to get the drivers license.

Five Story Building COver- ed Two City Blocks
 10000 Rounds of Asl- munitiOn Set Off By Flames = 75 Bremen Hurt - Church Nearby Destroyed Police Hns- tied People Back From Flying Bullets
COLORS RESCUED
 BY ONE CAPTAIN

Buffalo, N Y, May 7-(UP)--- Seventy-five firemen were overcome by smoke in fighting a s5,000,000 fire which, early to-day, destroyed a. five-story graystone armory and g. church in the Masten Hill section.
 Numerous houses in the area of the fire were damaged and 10000 rounds of small ammunition, stored in the armory, were set off by the flames. Police kept the crowd as far away from the scene as possible be- cause of the flying bullets and no injuries, other than those suffered by firemen, were reported.
 The armory, headquarters of the 106th regiment, covered two city blocks and the American Scandina- vian church, which was destroyed, was five blocks from the massive, fort-like structure.
 When the fire reached the ammu- milton, the crowds were pushed far ther back. Bullets were flying fre- quently and officers feared an in- cautious onlooker would approach too close and be struck.
 After the roof caved in, embers, carried by a strong wind. began falling over the surrounding resi- dential section, and householders sought to save their homes from fire by sprinkling them with garden hose. ..a
 Of the regimentaI equipment. which regimental officers valued at close to $4,000,000 only one of the 150 trucks and tractors was saved. The remainder, together with the
