committee had decided to make
it's charges under a section OF
the State public officers laws,
which permits the governor,
either in person or through a
commission, to investigate and
remove an official.
Charges against District Attor-
ney Grain, who is to be inveSti-
gated Immediately, were made
under the same law.
Grain, it was learned today,
plans to file a protest with the
governor against the appointment
of Samuel Seabury as commits
sioner to investigate accusations
against him.
Church Backs Inquiry
Meanwhile reports from Albany
were that a city-wide investiga'

evitable. 1t was reported that
the authority Of Seabury, named
to Investigate Grain, would be
extended into a general prooe,
including charges against Mayor
Walker.
Seabury was expected to an
nOunce his counsel today for the
Grain investigation, which may
start preliminary hearings next
week.
Further church support for the
investigation came when the New

urging the governor and State

a shotgun that had recently been

The shooting, Sheriff Lucas
believes, grew out of a mountain

that a feud may ensue. Both
clans are here in full force.
RevenuerS Tipped Off
Fear of a blood feud was ex-
pressed first following the raid

SURVEY SHOWS

AIR TRAFFIC
Phenomenal Expansion OF
Industry Seen in Statistics;
Business on Sound Footing
Copyright, 1881, by International
News Service)

| NCOpyrlghI, 1891 Dy
| News Service)
Aviation in the United States
is showing phenomenal expan-
sion. The industry is emerging
from the economic depression
with colors flying and prospects
for 1881 are exceedingly bright,
according to a survey completed
today by International News
Service.
More people are flying than
ever before. They are doing 1t
casually-in almost as matter Of
fact manner as they do in taking
a train. Air transport lines
traverse the continent. And from
leading citieS-such as Washing
ton, New York, Chicago, San
Francisco, Atlanta, st. Louis,
Columbus, Los Angeles, Miami,
Dallas, Boston, Milwaukee, Pitts
burgh, Seattle and Albuquerque
regional air lines radiate in all
directions.
Outlook Is Encouraging
Safety first" precautions have
instiIled public faith in air travel.
The major air lines have installed
twO-way radio communication be-
tween planes in flight and their
ground bases. An extensive
weather reporting service is en-
plOyed to keep pilots well-in-
formed on conditions along their
courses at all times.
The industry, after a period of
over-expanSion in some prospects,
has become stabilized. ReadjuSt-
mentS during 1880 have put the
business on a sound footing.
The year 1880 was critical
period for aviation, but the in
dustry made the grade" in ad
mirable shape and the outlook is
most encouraging.
Big Increase in Rides
Although 1929 was a peak year
for the transportation of mail
passengers and express by air
1880 figures doubled and nearly
tripled those of the previous
year. Passengers, mail and ex
press were being flown more than
100000 miles every "a hours, with
more than one-third the distance
being flown between dusk and
dawn on lighted airways.
Aircraft under the American
flag, including planes in civilian,
commercial and Government Op.
Grafton, flew more than 27,OOO, 200
miles over the previous peak
year, 1929, according to the Aero,
nautical Chamber of Commerce.
Civic and commercial planes
flew 164,793,612 miles during
1880, as compared with 149, ,579,451
miles in 1929. Government planes,
including those of the Army,
Navy, Marine Corps, Coast Guard
and Department of Commerce,
flew 6O,473,355 miles during 1880
as compared with 47,967 ,1S9 miles
in 1929.

Companion Tells Tale OF How
She Was ChIoroformed by
Man After Assault in Car

SPRINGFIELD, VT, March IA
G.NS0.-The untangling of a
Skein of mystery surrounding the
discovery 19 months ago Of q
girls body in a Chester pasture
was believed to have begun today
with the announcement of States
Attorney Lawrence j. Edgerton
that the dead woman was believed
to be an 18-year-old Laconia IN.
HI girl, and that instead Of be-
ing a suicide, as a farewell note
and empty poison bottle indicated,
she had been murdered.
States Attorney EdgertOn says
he had been told this by a 16-year-
old schoolgirl Of Bellows Falls,
who claimed to have been with
the LacOnia girl and two male
companions on an automobile ride
which had its tragic climax when
the LaCOnia girl was chlOrOfOrmed
when she resisted the advances Of
one of the men.
Man Wrote Note
Finding that the girl was dead,
according to the Bellows Falls
girls story, the men wrapped the
body in a blanket and one Of
them wrote a suicide note, put a
bottle of poison in the dead girls
purse, and placed the, empty
cholorform bottle beside her.
They then brought the Bellows
Falls girl back to that town and
told her Ito keep her mouth shut
or she'd get the same"
AS a result of the story. authori-
ties began a search for two men,
whose names were withheld. One
of them is believed to be at
present an inmate of the Penn
sylvania State Penitentiary.
Police Probe Fails
Police investigation in Laconia
failed to reveal traces Of the girl
mentioned, although authorities
say she might have lived on the
outskirts of the town.
When the body was first dis
covered authorities thought it
only routine case of suicide, as
George J. Packard, Of Bellows
Falls, had identified the body as
that of his wife, Catherine
Packard.
But the authorities were baf
fled when Mrs. Packard reap.
peared in Bellows Falls last sum
mer and explained that she had
left on an automobile trip with
two other couples and that they
had reached the coal fields OF
Pennsylvania where the men Oi
the party had obtained work.
He Had Remarked
The case was further compli
Gated by the fact that Packard
had remerried during the alb
sence of his supposed dead wife
and the admission Of the first
Mrs. Packard that she had writ
ten the suicide note in fit OF
dependency and that she die
not know what had become OF
it.
Mrs. Packard and several
others involved in the case at
the time were tried on serious
charges and Mrs. Packard was
sent to 'ail.

Sharply divided opinions were voiced
by millinery manufacturers regarding
the practieabihty OF closing down pro-
duction for November or up to December
Is. at a meeting in the Offices of East
ern Millinery Association. The plan,
preached by some producers as a means
of preserving assets during the APP
preaching ''off-SeaSon," was not acted
upon owing to belief that the unani-
nous support of the entire industry
could not be obtained and also because
Of labor questions.
Orders for styled towels and ensemble
gift sets for the holiday trade have
started to come into the market in
fairly large volume, selling agents re-
ported. Although buying has been de-
layed later than last year and the vol
ume of business Is somewhat behind,

NEW YORK. October 2s.-The bond
market was irregular today. with no
definite trend discernfble anywhere ex-
cept In the domestic railroad list. where
heavineSS was the rule. Foreign bonds
were bought In highly selective trading
mat % one time pushed the British,
French and German groups to new
hlgns on the recovery, but the gains
were subsequently erased
Inc market was chiefly concerned
with the renewed weakness Of sterling,
which was on more than points on
sales by London bank identified with
Britain government agencies This
confirmed the streets view that the
new government in England will seek
to prevent undue advance in sterling
which would, OF course, operate against
the increase IN export activity that has
become the major factor IN British
business since the pound broke. But
1t brought out fresh liquidation IN the
nature OF exchange gambling. The re-
suit was that after initial advances
there were declines In British govern
ment 542S, IN Canadian government
and railway securities, in Australian
dollar bonds and, TO q lesser extent, in
nign-grade European descriptions such
as French Is and tbs, Belgian IS, 6i2s
and Is and Dutch obligations.
Part OF the unsettlement in the Eu-
ropean list was attributed to reports
Of difficulties on the Amsterdam bourse.

have no difficulty in keeping up service

mainder Of the Hoover debt holiday

German General Electric IS and rs and
United Steel Works of Burbach rs and
also some utilities. Some Of these gains
were cancelled In subsequent trading
but there were plenty of bids for Ger
man bonds and the retreat was orderly.
South American issues were firm,
chiefly on strength in commodity mar
kets. Canadian issues-apart from the
selling brought out by exchange fiuc-
tuattonS-were well bought
With the exception of the British,
French and German dollar groups, the
opening was lower in quiet trading.
British 51as reflected the final figures
on the British election. German issues
continued their advance of the past
two days with jumps of a point or more,
following advices of brisker trade &C
tivity. French bonds were fractionally
better. Other foreignS, notably the
Italian, Austrian and Belgian issues.
were lower. South Americans were
heavy with Latin American exchanges.
In the domestic list, railroad issues
paralleled a downturn in stocks. Mis-
