Agents planned to have Bailey
tried for the Kansas City massacre

revealed.
Four other suspects were held
in st Paul where part of the Ur-
schel ransom came to light.

twice daily over the farmhouse

,kidnapers, supplied the clue which
led to the arrest of Harvey Bailey

planes pass twice a day over the
place. On Sunday one plane did
not pass. Department of Justice
agents, checking logs of American

Michigan Ratifies The New Amendment
 To Repeal Old Act
By a Vote of % to 1 the Delegates Elected to Convention Gave the First Death Blow to 18th Amendment-Gal- leries Crowded With Excited Citizens LONE DRY VOTER
 TO BE FEASTED

Lansing, Mich, April 1o-(uP) Repeal of the. 18th amendment received It's first formal state ap- prova1 here today when 100 dele- gates to a special constitutionaI convention voted 99 to to ratify the repeating 21st amendment.
 The vote was fOrmality as the delegates were pledged in tho April , election.
 Converting in the chamber of tho house of representatives before galleries crowded with wet sympn- thizers, the delegates spent the earlier hours forming temporary organization and electing officers.
 pr Eugene Davenport, the lone dry delegate, obtained tho floor but once during the early session and then to refuse to vote for Mrs Mary E. Algcr. Detroit leading re- peal worker, for permanent chair man.
 The resolution passed by the con- yention read in part Resolved by the delegates of the convention Of the state of Michigan that in the 1 name of, and on behalf of the peo- pie of the state of Michigan, we do hereby ratify, approve and assent to the proposed twenty-first amend- ment to the constitution of the United States'.
 A large demand for admission forced those in charge to restrict attendance to persons holding tic- kets issued in advance. Jubilant vets livened tho occasion with out- bursts of applause as the formali- ties progressed. Mention of tho name of the Rev K. N. Holsaples state superintendent of the Anti-s Saloon league. drew scattered ap- plause and n few boos. The mili- tant minister. seated in the gallery, smiled at the demonstration.
 Morning speakers turned the conventions attention for time from the business at hand to de- mand that the state legislature pass q beer bill immediately. AL though Michigan is the first state to ratify the repeal 1t is still op- erating under dry laws due to fail- ure of the legislature 10 agree on terms of n pending beer measure.

The indictment followed n long agitation in and out of congress for n prosecution of tho reformer and church leader who led the antl-SmIth democratic campaign. The agitation was increased when 1t was revealed at senate com mittee hearings that F. C. Jamis- son. New York city capitalist, had given Cannon $G3, LOO. It had never been reported to the clerk Of the house. The indictment was re- turned just n few days before the statute of limitations expired so that a new indictment was impos- sIble when the present one was held Invalid.
