Back of this smart schoolboy cage
record, and upon whom the school
places its hopes for league crown,
are five speedy, brilliant boys who
are playing the game in a cour-
ageous, heady fashion. Only one
member of the varsity five is not a
holder OF a track mark for speed
Yet the system in vogue at the school
is one of conservatism, the old pro
style, which teaches a player not to
take chances, but to hold onto the
leather until his shot is certain.

He is using a private yacht for
his negotiations, just as he did in
his negotiations of Norfolk in the

This fact became known today
shortly after publication in New

which TO many was indicative of a
new message to the kidnapping
gang.
The newspaper previously carried
the "Jafsie" advertisements and
one of these read: Money is ready"
Shortly afterward DR.. John F.
Condor, "Jfsie," paid $4,000 to one
of the men he had been negotiating
with, but without affecting return

SAN DIEGO. Cal, May 1.-The
naval radio station here reported
the Akron over Camp Kearney at
9:35 a. m. CP. S. t., ready 70 moor.
The radio also reported that one OF
the Akron's planes landed at the
field at s:15 a. m.
Lieutenant w. D. Harrigan piloted
the Akron's small plane and was
accompanied by Lieutenant S. e.
Peck. They Immediately took
charge Of directing the landing OPP
erations.
The high fog which obscured the
sun was regarded as a boon TO the
landing operations. as it tended to
keep the ships helium gas from
expanding.
Several thousand spectators we're
at the field when the Akron was
first sighted through a break in the
fog.
A ground crew OF 200 sailors from
the naval training station waited
by the mooring mast to catch lines
and make the ships nose fast to the
stub mooring mast.
Radio communication with the
craft was impossible as it lowered
over the mast. because of the noise
and interference Of the crafts ma
chinery.
The Akron obtained the proper
mooring position at 10 a. m. and
prepared to drop her nose cable into
the hands Of the ground crew.

RING CHARGES
aired IN TRIAL
Dozen Defendants Brought
Into Court, Accused
by Government.
TELL OF PROTECTION
BootIeggerS Say Police
Took Money to Let
Them Operate.

The government today launched
its case against twelve Madison
county officials and residents
charged with liquor conspiracy, be-
fore a jury in federal court, after
federal attorneys and the defense
had made their opening statements
to the jury.
With Judge Robert G. Baltzeu on
the bench, the government placed
its first witnesses on the stand to
testify to the alleged Anderson liq-
uor rings, which the government
charges dominated the city admin
istration.
George Alpert, Anderson laborer,
was the first to take the stand. He
identified himself as former boot
logger and testified that about April
l, 1929, he was at the home of Mrs.
Erma Wetzell, when Ralph Rich,
ex-captain of the detectives, then
a patrolman. came to the house
and asked him for liquor.
Arrested Three Months Later
Alpert testified he gave Rich a
pint of liquor and that he was not
arrested. He said he was arrested
three months later by Rich and
Elmer Nightbert, then police chief.
Ex-police Chief Alvin Riggs also
is on trial. The twelve defendants,
who have pleaded not guilty, are
among twenty-eight indicted by the
federal grand jury several weeks
ago. Mayor Jesse H. Mellett, under
indictment, has not been arrested
due to illness.
Mrs. Lola Knots of Elwood,
testified that she and her husband
we're 1eggers in 1929 and bought
their liquor from Ray and Edna
Boyer in five-gallon cans, paying
from $3.50 to S28 a five-gallon
can.
Mrs. Knots asserted that Boyer
had said that if she and her hus-
band bought their liquor from him
he would warn them Of possible
raids. She said that she installed
a telephone, but she and her hus-
band later argued with the Boyers
over the price of liquor and cut off
their alliance Aug. l, 1929.
Raid on Home Followed
She said twelve days later their
home was raided by the Madison
county sheriff.
Knots told a similar story, de-
claring he quit when the 'gyp' got
too strong" He declared the sheriff
found only about a half pint Of
beer at his home, but that he was
placed under $4,000 bond, con-

Ends PeriIouS Trip
Commanding Navy Dirigible Akron
Written for the United Press


ABOARD U. S. S. AKRON, SAN
DIEGO, Cal, May 1.-THE dirigible
Akron was on the Pacific coast to-
day, after undergoing the most
severe conditions, in my opinion, a
rigid airship ever experienced.
All one night was spent COM
pletely surrounded by severe light
ming, and the ship was running at
top speed - avoid being caught in
violent thunderstorms that blocked
out every available route to FL
Paso.
After being prevented by zero
visibility twice from getting over
mountains, we decided to try the
route from Pecos via Van Horn, but
we found a similar barrier there.
Packed With Drama
After fruitlessly awaiting a clear
ing from there, we decided Tuesday
afternoon to break through by fly
ing blind. About the middle of the
afternoon, we successfully negoti-
ated the tortuous seventy-five miles
between Pecos and Van Horn by
flying solely on dead reckoning and
the ships instruments.
Our course was laid to Follow the
curving Southern Pacific railroad
tracks, and finally at $500 feet ele-
walton. the ship plunged through
from its cloud of blindness and
into a broken and clearing sky just
short OF Van Horn.
The plunge through the fog really
was filled with drama.
Just before reaching FL Paso. We
encountered what was styled a
moderate sandstone, but the result
ing disturbance in the UPPER air
column is not to be so conservative
~ estimated.
About two hours of fighting our
way through the pass at Ell Paso
suddenly out of a clear sky and
entirely unannounced, another ter
rife sandstone tried to impede our
progress, rocking rolling and thrust
ing the ship up and down. But the
Akron took it beautifully.
All Hands in Good Shape
The night was spent in shaking
through passes in the mountains,
but, due largely to the splendid sys-
tenn of beacons installed by the de-
partment Of commerce, aerial navi-
cation. even under such conditions,
readily was accomplished.
The Akron stood her severe tests
magnificently. Due to unantic.-
pated necessity for extra cruising,
occasioned by thunderstorms and
fog. our fuel supply, while not de-
pleted was so reduced as to render
it imprudent to proceed beyond
San Diego without replenishing,
experience having taught us the
value of adequate reserve.
All hands and the ship are in
excellent condition. except that We

son in Senate to Fight Depression.
SAVINGS PROPOSALS ARE OUTLINED
President Maps His Proposals to Bipartisan
Group at White House Breakfast; Mills
Explains Economic Measures

By United Press
WASHINGTON, May IL.
A Democratic program to
boost the country out of de-
preston by providing federal
bond issues for unemploy-
ment relief, and construction
projects was presented to the
senate today by Minority
Leader Joseph T. Robinson.
He accompanied his recommended
tons with a plea for a balanced
budget, a test of the equalization
fee system of farm relief and the
five-day work week.
Robinson said lit is not practic-
able to provide all expenses out OF
revenue this year" but that action
TO bring the budget into approximate
balance was indispensable. He would
obtain complete balance" next year
Business Revival Program
He called upon the administration
for frank and unequivocal state
ment of probable revenue and pro-
posed expenditures, not emitting
from the latter items merely de-
ferred."
Robinson's statement was inter
preted as the Democratic party'S
business revival program.
Senator James j. Davis (Rep.,
Pa offered at the conclusion of
Robinson's speech a bill to author
ize the reconstruction finance cor
poration to loan states and munich
palities $500,000,000 for unemploy-
ment relief.
Robinson offered in his program
proposals for a $500 100000 federal
bond issue for unemployment relief
and a $4,000, 100000 issue to stimu-
late construction of bridges. tunnels
and rehabilitation Of city slum dis
trictS.
Endorses 5-Day Week
He Endorsed the Wagner bill fol
$500 100000 bond issue, proceeds
of which would be advanced to the
states and municipalities in relief
for suffering caused by unemploy-
ment." He said unemployment was
increasing.
The 100000 construction
bond issue would be spent upon self
liquidating or profit making enter
prises. He estimated there is
enough deferred municipal work
pending to employ 100000 men.
He would provide for replacement
of the government funds.
Robinson also Endorsed the FIVE
day work-week; application of the
equalization fee farm relief program
to the wheat crop las a test whether
it is practicable to make tariff rates
effective as to agricultural products, "
and modification of the reconstruc-
ton finance corporation act to per-
