BIG SUIT IS FILED, |NSULL
 CASE;LARCE
 SUM ASKED
Entire Directorate of Utili- ties Corporation Sued for Forty Million
 Dollars

CHICAGO, H., Jan. 25.-To the maze of litigation involving the Insull enterprises was today added a $40,000,00O suit against the en- tire directorate of the Insull Utili- ties Investment Corporation, the half billion dollar holding com pany, by counsel for the creditors.
 Immediately upon filing the suit, subpoenas were issued against the defendants, Samuel and Martin h. sull and Samuel Insull, Jr., and twelve other directors.
 The suit charges the company paid large dividends with the sanc- tion of the directorate and approv-. ed of large sums in settlement of claims and that the defendants purchased much stock of dubious value.
 It is further charged the di- rectorate operated an intramural selling game in which stocks of the various Insull companies were re- sold to each other to create a fictitious income.

BOB HENDERSON, KL GOLD LOCATOR, DIES
Prospector Who Started d Great Stampede, Pass
 es Tn Vancouver

VANCOUVER, B. O., Jan. 25.- Robert D. (Bob) Henderson, whose gold discoveries in 1896 preceded the stampede of 1898 into the Klon- dike, died yesterday at his home here at the age of 76 years. His last exploit was in October, last year, when with other mining men he made flight from Carcross to the Pelly River district in search of a rich placer deposit he claimed he located in early days.
 In the summer of 1896 Hender- son was prospecting on Gold Bot tom in the Klondike region when he made his find. He struck out at once for the mouth of the Klon- dike where he met George Carmack and appraised him of his find. He returned to Gold Bottom and 1t was some time later when Car mack with others decided to look him up.
 While on their way to Gold Bot tom, Carmack and his friends stopped to prospect just below the mouth of the Eldorado. They struck pay dirt and hurried out to record their claims at Forty Mile. It was not until later that Henderson heard what had happened and while others had staked the best claims, he still was credited with the find.
 Henderson was born in Nova Scotia in 1857. He went to Alaska in 1894, prospecting many creeks tributary to the upper Yukon be- fore making his find at Gold Bot tom.
 He had been living at Vancou- yer for a number of years.

STOCKS TAKE ADVANCE OVER
 TWO CAUSES
Wheat Is Firmer Today Pennsylvania Railroad
 Pays Dividend

NEW YORK, Jan. 25.--A firm tone for wheat together with the payment of a dividend by the Pennsylvania Railroad buoyed up the Stock Market today and several issues closed with gains of one to two points.
 Trade was light the entire day Rails developed conspicuous strength and their firmness spread to other major groups.
 Tobaccos were rather soggy. Motion picture issues were sold in some volume.
 Make Good Gains
 Pennsylvania Railroad gained one and one-half points with Union Pacific. Similar gains were made by Santa F'e, American Telephone and Telegraph, American Can and Allied Chemical
 Up Two Points
 Up two points were United States Steel, preferred, and Columbian Carbon.
 Up one point or so were New York Central, Case, United States Steel, common, Ward, Consolidated Gas and United Fruit.
 Coppers advanced fractionally.

AUTOMOBILE OF MISSING
 THOMPS0NS
 IS LOCATED
Belief Grows that Former Alaskans Were Hijack- ed or Murdered on
 Mexican Desert

SEATTLE. Jan. 25.-George Kill roy, of the Alaska Weekly, has received a letter stating that it is the belief of other former Alas kans, that MT. and Mrs. Charles L. Thompson, pioneers of Fair banks, were murdered on the Mexi- can desert last December.
 Dr. H. J. McCallum, of Azusa, California, Investigating the mys- terious disappearance of the couple, said their car was found on the desert.
 Found Them Nervous
 Dr. McCallum said he called on the Thompsons on December ? and found them nervous. Thompson said he had received threatening letters and remarked:
 "If I ever disappear, want you to make an intensive search"
 Dr. McCallum also wrote that Joe Miller, of San Diego, former United States Marshal at Fair banks, visited the Thompsons in their Mexican home on Decem- Der 4.
 Hijacked--Murdered
 The discovery of the automobile, writes Dr. McCallum, makes it look to me and Joe Miller, like the Thompsons were hijacked or mudered."
 Sourdough friends of the missing couple have been informed that MT. and Mrs. Thompson, of Min neapolis, registered at the Roslyn Hotel on December and left short ly thereafter but the signature is apparently different.
 Thompon was part owner of a Mexican brewery. He and his wife disappeared early in December.

HOOVER A CANDIDATE?

One member of President Hoo- ver's Cabinet is being quoted around Washington as fully con vinced MT. Hoover will be a 1886 candidate for the Republican Pres idential nomination. ...
 That painful" Democratic in- come tax boost proposal now is interpreted by some politicians as merely a scare-crow, really design ed to impress both Congress and the public that government ex- penditures must be reduced, or else.
 A conviction that the anti-pro- hibition sweep is at flood tide and that in the natural course of ac- tion and reaction delay will fight on the side of the prohibitionists to provide the one clear thread of strategy running through the present. operations of both the vets and drys. ...

Farm Relief Problem Is
 Big Subject; Greater than
 Auerage Person Imagmes
By BYRON PRICE Chief of Staff, The Associated Press, Washington.)

The farm relief bill may appear to many politicians and newspa- per readers as merely incident to a crowded Legislative program, but the interest of the farm belt is at tested by the managing editor of one of the most important daily papers in the midwest, who writes
 T would say from my own standpoint that the domestic all lotment plan is the greatest news story that we can possibly have. The attitude is getting to be one of desperation, with feeling that something must be done and done quickly"
 The present patronage run on Washington-probably the biggest in history-has reached a point where at least one Democratic Senator has refused to talk to any more of his constituents who are looking for jobs.
