PLAN EXTENSIVE HUNT FOR BABY'S SLAYERS
Akron Gives More Difficulty at Sunnyvale
Press Prompt
With Big Story

The Press was the only
newspaper in Imperial Valley
yesterday which gave its
readers in the regular edi-
ton a full, though concise
account of the tragic news
recounting the finding of the
Lindbergh baby's body.
This was made possible
through the excellent hand
ling of the story by the
United Press, which supplies
The Press with telegraph news.
The first tip that newspa-
permen had been summoned
to HOpewell was received here
shortly after 2 o'clock. Pre-
mature statements by the
governor of New Jersey and
by the Lindbergh butler,
afterward proven fully au-
thentic, were held up until
absolute confirmation of the
discovery came.
Holding open the United
Press leased wire, which ord
irarily closes at 3 p. M, gave
The Press its account of the
tragedy at $3.50 and shortly
afteIward the edition was on
the street. Had The Press
wished to Jump the gum 1t
could have beaten this time,
but absolute confirmation is
always deemed essential, par
ticularly in a story of such
Importance.

filed today before B. F.. Gruble,
Calipatria justice of the peace.
The three were named in a cor

hands of Hatfield. Williams and
Roberts were named as accomplices.
The Mexican is thought to be v.

They were all just young re-

did. Two met death because
they had no hand hold, or no
chance, the other did have one
chance in million and he
took it. Now we all want to
hang onto him like him to the
Akron. He lives just rs miles
as the Ford flies from my
home, the glorious old State
of Oklahoma, where rope is
not just an implement, it's a
tradition. Our history has
been built on citizens dangling
in the air by a rope and some
escaped the dangling that would
have made better history. But
we are proud of this boy. Un-
like his early ancestors he tied
his own knots, and saw that
they wasn't around his neck.

Real Speed of Ducks

iLc a4l0i O. the hunter wno said sAat the ducks he missed went by nim 100 miles an hour has been shot to pieces with statistics on speed of birds compiled by work CT in the Bureau of Biological Sur vey in the United States Depart .nent ct Agriculture.
 4-al4Ier estimates on Ine. speed ~i ducAs credited these birds with phenomenal speeds, but automobiles -Ad alrp1anes have made more ac- -urate timing ot thelr flying pos SlDle The most accurate checks nus Tar made show that ducks and geese do not ordinarily go more man 40 miles an hour, although they are capable of increasing their speed Ii frightened. They cannot, however, maintain the higher speed Tor a long time. The fastest bird times was duck hawk in Califor- mia, which flew at a speed of 1855 10 1S0 miles an hour while chas- ing its prey.
 Mallards timed in France and England flew 50 to 5S miles an hour, and flock at top speed in California when timed with an air plane went only 55 miles an hour. Pintails chased by an airplane in California flew 55 to 65 miles an hour, and a canvasback made 72 miles an hour. Canada geese timed n Massachusetts flew fl miles an hour and brant in Scotland flew 45 miles an hour.

Klawock School Notes
fBv special Correspondent)

During the past year the village nurse has immunized the school children, as well as many pre- school children and adults against the following infectious and conta- gious diseases: diphtheria. typhoid fever. scarlet fever and smallpox. This last mentioned disease is al ways looked after; and at the be- ginning of each school year every child not showing a good yaccina- ton scar is taken care of.
 1ne nurse mlsnes uO s1ate unaI there were apsoruteIy no Dau reae- lIons from the DICK test followed Dy the nve doses oi scarlet fever im- munizing vaccine, but on the con trary many cases of bad glands and ear infection have cIeared up. Inis is published for the purpose or stimulating the use of this treat ment which is practically in its in fancy.
 We are not anticipating any epi- denies throughout the remainder of the school year, and barring the flu" and bad colds generally which like the poor we have always with us, there is no apparent reason why the school attendance should not be above the average.
 The town hall was filled on Christmas Eve when a program was given by the Klawock Government School It was estimated that Santa Claus delivered over two thousand gifts at the close of the school ex- ercises. The town band furnished music, and an abundance of candy fruit and npts was provided for everyone.
 Last Thursday afternoon each room of the school had a Christmas tree, and gifts were exchanged by the pupils. Each boy and girl re- ceiyed a green tarleton stocking filled with candy, oranges and pop corn, which was given by the nurse and the teachers.

 It is a good thing 10 live in an honest place like Alaska. l guess Ben Thompson wishes he was back in Alaska right now, as he was in the Cordova hospital for quite a while and then he went to Seat tie for a change. He had $500 hard earned on his person to keep safe. He had hardly got to Seattle when some yegg held him up and took it off of him. He could have had il in perfectly good travellers checks which he could have got at any bank or Express Co. which we would advise him to do.

A lew days ago Lee Iancey went up on a mountain near Me Cartny 10 get a goat. He got big ram ana started back IL was very cold. When he was about half way uown the mountain he remembered lnat he had left his gun on it. So ne decided that he had better go back and get it. IL LOOK hiE so ions to get his gun that it was pretty dark when he started back to his cabin. Whale he was going back he fell over a cliff. It knocked him un- contious for so long that when he revived he thought that he had bet ter start back to his cabin right away then. He had to cross a creek going back and he got his feet wet and by the time he got to his cabin both of his feet were frozen. He tried to start a fire to get them warm but he couldn't. The next day Pete Brenewick was passing and found him. He took him to Me Carthy and sent him up to Kenne- colt. to get his feet fixed. The doc tor decided they were so bad that he would have to cut his left foot off at the instep and all the toes on his right foot. It will be hard for an old man like him to get round with only half feet.

Some of the oldtimers were made out of good tough stuff. When John McCrary got very sick at Copper Center last week they took him to Kennecott and cut him open.

ing been undertaken independently Of

OLD PILOT TO FLY
NIGHT MAIL ROUTE.
Second Round Trip Plane to
Take Allegheny
Schedule.

without any ceremony q wtnd-bitten
airmail pilot Of the "old school" will
climb into the cockpit Of an open-type
mail plane at Washington Hoover Air
port tonight for flight inaugurating
the second night airmail route across
the AlleghenieS, long known as the
graveyard of the night airmail."
The honor of making the first flight
over the new route between Washington
and Cleveland will fall either on Trow-
bridge Sebree or Lowell Scroggins, both
of whom pushed the night airmail be-
tween Cleveland and Pittsburgh during
the early days of the old Clifford Ball
line, now Pennsylvania Airways.
The new night service. to be operated
as one nightly round trip. will give the
Capital its first direct airmail connec-
ton with the West making possible
deliveries to points beyond Chicago by
early morning of mail posted following
the close Of the business day in Wash
ington the day before.
Mail Now Shuttled.
At present, Washington's Westbound
airmail must be flown on the Eastern
Air Transport shuttle" plane to New
York and there put aboard transconti-
mental planes. losing more than three
hours in the process and missing i'm
portant connections. The mail for
Washington from the West must be
flown to the Capital on a morning
shuttle plane. With the Inauguration
of the direct mountain line tonight, the
shuttle service will be abandoned.
The night mail will leave Washing
ton at 10 o'clock each night, arriving
in Cleveland at about ITO am. Con-
nection will be made with the Central
Transcontinental Airmail System at
Pittsburgh and with the Northern
bound, the plane will leave Cleveland
at 2:30 am. arriving in Washington
at about 4:40 I'M, giving ample time
for working of the mail and distribu-
tion at the beginning of the business
day.
Garry No Passengers.
The bulk of the night mail flying is
to fall on Scroggins and Sebree, one
man making the round trip in the same
plane during his tour Of duty. Carry
ing no passengers. they will sit on
parachutes and take whatever the
weather has to offer, trusting to skill,
long experience and the latest aids of
science to get them through what is
now regarded as one of the worst
stretches of flying country in America.
Both flyers are accustomed to the
earlier days of the night airmail be-
fore all the modern aids came into
existence, and, though they often were
forced to fly blind. their route before
missed the worst part of the hazardous
Allegheny crossing. With the full aid
of modern science, they expect to be
able to maintain a good record of de-
pendable service over the difficult
stretch of mountain country.
