KILLS HIMSELF TO
THWART 'MOUNTIES'
Long Man Hunt by Canad-
ian Police Ends in CIump
of Bushes.
By United Press


KELVINGTON, Saskatchewan,
July 9.-The hunt for William Mil
Ter, fugitive from the Canadian
mounted police, ended today in a
clump of muskeg, where his body
was found. He apparently had
committed suicide, rather than face
capture.
Miller was the leader of q gang
of three who mounties accused of
numbering Corporal Leonard v.
Rails, Foam Lake.
Two others were overtaken in
one of the greatest man hunts in
the history of the province.
Miller's .38-caliber automatic pis
toll was in his right hand. He ap-
parently had killed himself when
he could travel no longer, because
of bullet wounds in his right leg
and lower abdomen, sustained in a
gun fight Friday.
More than forty mounted police
and several hundred civilians took
part in the eighty-four- hour chase
which began after Rails was killed
as he sought to question three men
in an automobile at Foam Lake.
Mike Kurulak and his brother,
William, were overtaken by the
posses which were thrown on the
trail of the killers.
The brothers confessed they killed
Rails, mounties said, but named
Miller as the actual killer.
The hunt extended from Foam
Lake to Lintlaw, thence into the
Nut mountain region and north
into the porcupine reserve, through
miles of bush and densely wooded
country.

.EDERLE STILL IS HAPPY
Plays Tennis, DriUes;; No Long S7Cin1S
BY EVELYN SEELEY
Times stan writer

NEW YORK, July 9.-It takes
most people a long time to be-
come philosophers, but Gertrude
Ederle is a philosopher at IS.
Il don't care about fame" said
the girl who, almost exactly six
years ago, swan the English
channel. Il had enough"
It's an awful lot of work to be
famous. Ja-a-aa, and it takes a
long time"
She smiled heartily as she
spoke. She tossed her dark hair
back from her forehead. She
looked very young and healthy
and content. There we're festive
touches of red velvet ribbon on
her dark blue and white polka
dot dress.
Il wanted TO come back" she
said, and her rosy face clouded.
But l can't, 1 guess. I've sort
of made up my mind to that now.
Anyway, 1 have a lot better time
when I'm not having to train for
a swim"
She was trying out her broad
cast from an aquaplane towed by
Mrs. Guy Lombardos speedboat,
with Mrs. Lombardo at the wheel.
THIS was to have been the be-
Il ginning of the comeback"
she explained, a comeback" that
would include swimming feats
reminiscent of the Ederle of six
years ago. But her physician
put stop to her swimming plans.
The necessary training, he told
her. would increase and compli-
cate her ear trouble.
Please tell them I am not stone
deaf" said she, laughing. Il
don't want anybody feeling sorry
for me. 1 am just about as good
as overland I hear plenty"
She hears, in fact, almost nor
mally You do not have to shout
to make her hear, but only to raise
your voice a little. And what un-
dertones she misses her quick per-
ception catches from your express
sion.
She is the first to laugh-a
a hearty, deep, childish laugh-st
a joke. And over the telephone or
the earphones Of a radio she hears
perfectly.
CHE can still swim, strongly
~ and enduringly, but she is not
allowed to do much of it.
II can still swim home" she
shouted as big wave toppled her
off the aquaplane.
Some of her records still stand,
although She-unmathematical as
most women-can't remember
which ones. She is more inter
ested in the :ow records American
women are piling up.
She delights in officiating at
swimming meets or merely in
watching them.
American girls are swell swim
mers," said she. They always can
show the world. They are better
all the time-faster."
1t is probably her enthusiastic
interest in the swimming others do
that prevents Gertrude Ederle,
whose swimming career ended at
its peak, from succumbing to the
has-been blues.
Also, she has a rassion for
motoring, speedy motoring which
often brings her a summons. She
is good at tennis. She enjoys a
general enthusiasm for an active
life.
XXTHAT more, at 25, is the
w dream of girl who at 20
got the first of the European ova-
lions Colonel Lindbergh and
Amelia Earhart later knew?
Il did most of the things I
wanted to do" said Ederle. Moth
ing much left but to swim the
Atlantic ocean. Yes, I'll get
married when Mr.. Right comes
along, but he hasn't shown up
yet.
But what I really want to do
is to teach swimming at some nice
club; then all 1 learned wouldn't
be wasted"
