DETROIT, Michigan, March 26.-- Henry M. Leland, aged 89 years, died at his home here today. He was President of the Cadillac Con- pany until it was merged with the General Motors.
 MT Leland's career was replete in achievements. It took him from machinist's apprentice to the dis tinction of "The Grand Old Man of the Automobile Industry from the manufacturing of tools for rifle making during the Civil War to the production of Liberty mot ors during the World War
 Of the several automotive pioneers who visioned the future of the industry, none stood out more prominently than MT. Leland. Nov ing westward to Detroit in 1890, he began the manufacture of small tools, later qualified as a gear ex- pert and found his metier-the au- tomobile industry-when he began transmissions for the one cylinder car designed in 1900 by Ransom E. Olds.
 Strange Analogy
 Before going to Detroit, MT. Le- land had engaged in the manu- facture of engines for what he termed "so-called'' naphtha launch es, and it was upon the experience gained in that work that he based his prediction of the future of the internal combustion engines.
 It was strange analogy that the youth who helped make rifles for Union soldiers during the Civil War should, as a septuagenarian in 1917, make the heart of the modern instrument of war, the airplane motor, for use ir the World War.
 Beautiful engines they were, too" MT. Leland once said of the motors. They would have won the war if the Kaiser hadn't run away so soon. I used to spend Is to Is hours a day at the plant when we were making those en- zines, but it was no hardship. I

SENATE QUIZ WILL MOVE TO
 NEW FRONTS
Stock Market, Farm Board and Coal Fields Are
 Slated for Probing

WASHINGTON, March 26. = h. quisitorial powers of the Senate, which in the past have exposed scandals and aroused nation wide controversy, are about to be invoked on new fronts.
 The most publicized of the pend- ing investigations relates to stock market operations. Of equally as great political significance will be the Senate's inquiry into Farm Board operations and transactions on the grain, cotton and other commodity exchanges.
 Conditions in the Kentucky bi- coal fields also are down for investigation through a resolu- tion not yet adopted but apparent ly likely to be approved The res- olution is so phrased that the in- vestigating committee will be com pelled to inquire not only into the life of the workers but also re- garding the economic distress of the coal industry itself.
 A small but determined group of senators is deploying against the radio broadcasoing industry in an effort to drive from the air practices which they consider to be not only lonesome bit likely tO rf-ovp fatal tO brOad- casting if not corrected.
 Only the Johnson investigation of foreign bond flotations in the United States has been completed this session. Senators are com blaming that they are overworked and do not have as much time as heretofore for other than legisla- tive labors.

INVESTIGATE
 QUEER STUNT
Railroad Agents Are Pug zled by Actions of Men
 Aboard Train

LOS ANGELES, Cal, March 26.- Agents of the Sante F'e Railroad are investigating an apparent at tempt to kidnap one or more pas sengers on an e bound train shortly after it left here last night.
 Two men forced the conductor, Dan Burke, into a compartment and held him prisoner until the train reached a suburb. The men made a thorough search of the train but no attempt was made to rob or molest the passengers.
 Apparently disappointed, the two men jumped from the train at a suburban station and quickly disap- peared.
