 ARE ON STRIKE

SAN JOSE, Calif., Aug. 16. Five hundred pear pickers Tuesday walk out from the orchards on a strike. They want 30 cents an hour instead of the 20 cents per hour now be- paid. They also want an eight-hour day
 The striking peach pickers still continue to refuse to go to work unless their higher wage demands are met.

 FOUR PERSONS

MALVERN, Ark, Aug 16. - A ghost car, carrying four dead per- sons sitting rigidly upright in the auto, and live child, four years of age, as the occupants, ran off the highway near here and gave the people of this vicinity a horrifying experience as they sought to un- ravel the mystery of the death car.
 It was declared that one man had been seen to leap from the car and plunge into the nearby woods just prior to the cars running off the road. The officials immediately formed a posse and with blood hounds they secured the woods.
 They rounded up a man who said he was an attorney from Akron, Ohio. He is being held for oues- tioning.
 Returning to the car the officials found a half filled bottle of moon shine in the car. An autopsy re- vealed that the persons had died from strychnine poisoning. It was not stated whether the booze had strychnine in it.
 The four dead were a man and his wife, and their two chil- dren. The four year old surviving child gave his name as Kline Smith, but otherwise could give no information about the tragedy. Lo- cal persons have not identified the family.

 Other members of the Bailey kid mapping gang are said to have been all captured with the exception ot one. Five of te men were caught in Minnesota and the others were rounded up in other states.
 Some real detective work was nec- essary before the police could get on the trail of Bailey.
 Urschel, who was kidnapped, and. then released, was streWd enough to keep track of the plane move ments over the house were he was kept captive. Whenever he heard a plane he asked to find out the time. After several days of this he soon became familiar with the train schedules. After he was re- leased he went into conference with detectives and together they studied airplane schedules. They figured out just where the planes were at certain time and merely went to the house. Urschel accom- panied them and it was said that even he packed shotgun.
 The house harbored Bailey and he was arrested immediat tely.
 The Government will ask the death penalty it is stated.
