MINERS SEEK
HERMIT GOLD

The value Of the I'M
taken gold, developed by
the late "sOIo Joe" Per
rauIt in a wild region in
the northwest corner Of
Montana, may be deterInin-
ed soon. 1t has been a ques-
ton I'm Montana minds for
much OF the 25 years he
was occupied alone in its
development. The claim is to
be mined by a company hav-
ing adjoining ground on
which heavy duty equipment
viii be installed.
At intervals when food was re-
quired, Parrault would appear
in Libby. or some other towr
25 miles away with a small bot
tie of nuggets and carry hii
purchases home on his back.
To carry the water for an op-
Grafton. he dug a ditch 1870 fee
long and to extract the metal he
ran a long drift tunnel into the
gravel. Together these develop
ments probably occupied IL
years, as he worked alone. He
had an independence in the gold
he removed. He was about ready
to operate on a large scale
when Illness interviewed in 1929
and he went to Libby for
treatment and care. He died and
the claim was abandoned.
After the lapse of a year OF
longer. it was staked by Charles
whipple, of Spokane. Having
other interests, he subsequently
sold It for $50. Two young min

sented them late yesterday when a hat
containing suicide notes and apparent

walk along the Delaware River.
The light gray fedora hat contained

Resigned Position Here.
Both the street address and the tele-
phone number were those OF the United
States Chamber of Commerce here. It
was said at the latter of1ces today that
an A. Stewart Holcomb had been an
accounting clerk there up until July
Is. when he resigned. His former en-
ployers had not heard from him since
Holcomb was married and lived IN
the 1900 block OF N street. He was "a
years old, and Chamber Of Commerce
officials said he was an expert IN his
line who had been with them for the
past four years. >,

his wife now is living in Baltimore. al
though they did not know her address
there.

Police began dragging the river near
the place where the hat was found late
yesterday and resumed the search this
morning without finding trace OF q

A second note in the hat said:

BY the Associated Press.
President Roosevelt and Brig. Gen.
Frank r. Hines Of the Veterans Ad-
ministration arranged today to establish
a Board Of Appeals to review all de-
cisions by the special boards consider
ing compensation cases.
Gen. Hines reported to the President
complete satisfaction on the progress Of
the review boards. which are deciding
which veterans will be allowed TO con-
tinue on the Government roll.
He said that of the cases so far re-
viewed, approximately 40 per cent have
been allowed and so per cent have been
denied. It Is a question of whether the
veterans can show that illnesses con-
tracted after the war were the result OF
war service.
However, this Is no accurate esti-
mate. as not enough cases have been
reviewed" Gen. Hines said. ITO make
certain justice prevails, the President
Is establishing a Board of Appeals to
serve as a sort of supreme court on
all Of these decisions.
This board Of Is outstanding men
will be named shortly and will be estab-
IShed in Washington"
The claims Of veterans are to be re-
viewed by October 81. The President
is allowed to extend this time in spe-
cial cases.

AIR FORCE SOUGHT
FOR PHILIPPINES
Program Calling for 3-Year
Expenditure Of s625, 900
Presented.

MANILA, P. I. R.-A program of
aviation development for the Philip
pines involving the expenditure Of
$625, 900 In three years, aside from
maintenance, has been presented to
legislative leaders by Gov. Gen. Frank
Murphy.
The program calls for the eventual
establishment Of Intermediary landing
fields every 80 miles between Manila
and Baguio, mountain resort $50 miles
to the north. and all along proposed
air routes in other sections Of the
islands.
An airport under insuiar control
would be established in Manila, where
there are already a private airport and
Nichols Field of the Army.
Constabulary Unit Proposed.
Murphy proposed the organization Of
q unit in the Philippine Constabulary
with 10 pilots and 10 planes, which
would be the nucleus of q national air
force. These planes might be used by
other government departments, upon
payment Of fees.
The governor general said he was
eager to see q start made on the pro-
gram, but was unwilling to impose ad-
ditional tax burdens. He called further
conferences with insular leaders to find
the necessary funds. Maintenance would
cost 100000 a year. he estimated.
"One Of the most obvious needs OF
the Philippines is an adequate system
Of aviation" Murphy said in his first
message to the legislature. 1T would
provide speed mail service, would bring
the remotest parts Of the islands within
quick reach and would effectively pro-
mote the ideal and consciousness Of ma
ttonal unity.
"The expenditure Is Justified by our
peculiar geographical character, our
dignity and importance as an autono-
nous and self-supporting government
and the frequent, urgent need for this
means Of rapid communication and
transportation arising from disturb
ances, epidemics and disasters"
The army has volunteered the use Of
planes In past emergencies. At present
private company operates half dozen
planes between Manila and Baguio, and
another line operates between Manila
and noilo, second city Of the islands.

DR.. c. H. PARKHURST
FALLS TO DEATH
Foe of Tammany PIunges
From Roof While Walk
ing in Sleep.
BY the Associated Press.

VENTNOR, N. J.. September 8.--Rev.
DR.. Charles H. Parkhurst, militant
minister who attained Nationwide
fame in the eos as bitter and VIC
torious foe of Tammany Hall IN New
York City, died today an hour after he
fell from the roof of his home.
Mrs. Grace Moore ParkhurSt, his
niece, said he had been walking IN his
sleep of late, but that his health had
been excellent. He was 81 years old.
Dies in Hospital
The aged minister stepped out Of .
window to the porch roof Of the home
of his nephew, Winthrop Parkhurst,
with whom he lived here. He was taken
to Atlantic City Hospital, where he died
at 4 am
A terrific attack he launched from the
pulpit of his Madison Square Presby-
terian Church in 1892 against what he
trative bloodhounds" started q cam
paign which resulted in the unseating
Of Tammany In New York.
On q wave of reform william l..
Strong, was elected mayor and Theodore
Roosevelt was installed as police COM
missioner. Tammany came back after
the Strong administration to put Robert
A. Vanwyck in the mayors chair, but
later, with Parkhurst playing q promi-
nent part, a fusion movement again
beat Tammany and elected Seth Low as
mayor.
Although he retired in 1918, Dr.. Park
hurst never changed in his opinion Of
what he called political corruption"
and occasionally he issued blast
against it from his New Jersey home.
In 1922, at gathering in celebra-
ton Of his eightieth birthday, he
blamed q crime wave on the fact that
Tammany was in complete control Of
the New York City government.
Four years later, he said q religion
Of simple belief in God and his right
eousness was necessary to rescue the
country from the quagmire Of multiple
depravity into which we have nationally
slumped." .4-.---.-
His last public utterance was on his
ninetieth birthday last year when he
said that New York City was like big
house which needs q thorough scrub
bing every so often"
