Bandits Loot
Clearwater Bank

the same machine was believed to
have been seen and heard leaving
the village at about 2:30 A. M, to-
day. It is the theary of bank Of
ficials that the robbers came to the
village late Sunday evening to
study the situation and then drove
out of town to await a more quiet
time to commit he robbery.
Only a meager description of the
car is at hand today as the only
clue on which members of the state
bureau of criminal apprehension
may work. Operatives of that bur-
eeau arrived in Clearwater early
this morning and were working
with Wright county authorities on
the case.
The car, it was believed, may
have come in from either st. Cloud
or the Twin Cities although it at
tracted no suspicion on the part of
those who saw it. The escape, it
was believed, was made on the river
road on the west side of the river
but which direction it Travelled
could not be determined.
The loss was fully covered by
burglary insurance, Mr.. Shaw re-
ported this morning. He was at a
loss as to why the Clearwater bank
was selected by the yeggs. It is
common knowledge, he said, that
there is never any quantity of
money on hand there that would
attract criminals.
Finger prints, if any are to be
found on the vault or safe doors,
will be taken by the state opera
tives today, it was said, and these
may lead to more definite clues.

Al work develops leadership.
The members are being trained as
the future leaders of rural America.
The Junior leadership project is Of
fered to the older members. In this
project, members assist the local

to talk before the group.

'PLAYBOY" DIES
FOR Staying
LOVE MATE

TRENTON, N. j., April 2.-Wil-
liam Moore Fraser, confessed
slayer of Mrs. Phoebe Lillian
Stader, died last night in the
electric chair despite last-minute
efforts on the part of war COM
rades to save him.
Members of the Fourth Division,
with which Fraser served during
the war. attempted to persuade
Gov. A. Harry Moore to commute
his sentence to life imprisonment,
but the governor followed the
lead of the court of pardons,
which refused to reconsider the
sentence of death passed upon
Fraser nearly a year ago.
The crime for which Fraser was
electrocuted was one which horri-
fled New Jersey a little more than
a year ago. The slayer lived in
Railway, N. j., with his wife ana
two children. He received an
inheritance of $4,000 and imme-
diately the industrious, sober
minded salesman was transformed
into an irresponsible playboy. His
companion in his whirl through
the inheritance was pretty Phoebe
Stader.
Fearing that with the dwindling
of his inheritance, he would lose
her love. the war veteran killed
her and with the body still in the
car, drove South. Arriving five
days later near Bowling Green,
Va, after stopping in Washing
ton, D. c., he threw the body
into marsh. Fraser was caught
at Raleigh, N. C.

Previous Warning
Four days before the death in
New York of Eben M. ByerS,
Pittsburgh millionaire and sports
man, from radium poisoning, the
Federal Food and Drug Admins
tration issued a warning against
the indiscriminate use of radio
active" waters and drug products,
Dunbar said. He added:
"a survey, begun by the Drug
and Food Administration in
1926, of radioactive articles
proved that while only a small
percentage of such products
contained radium in active
doses, a very few did contain
what might logically be con-
sidered lethal quantities of this
dangerous element"

In addition to the bill for dis

Although the committee has
