all day, officers finally found a
shack, built by the boy IN a laurel
thicket near his father home, and
at this shack were found two
guns. so pounds of -four, eight
pounds of lard, one quilt, cooking
utensils, and a suit of clothes and
pair of pants belonging to the
boy.

the boys home, where, they said
he admitted that he was not kid
naped and that it was his inten.
ton on leaving home to stay at
the shack until the search for him
was given up, and then leave
home.
The sheriff's department was
first notified on Thursday eve
ming. after the boys return, and
Sheriff w. A. Garren started an
investigation Thursday nj g h
which was followed by the all-day

Interim Before Divorce
Will Be Spent In Hunt
ing And Fishing

RENO, New, June 10 (UP)-
No romance with another woman
is involved in the plan of Mr.,
and Mrs. Elliott Roosevelt to OBJ
tain a divorce. the presidents
son told interviewers yesterday
Roosevelt laughed as he deni-
ed that he intended to marry
Miss Ruth GoOgins of Fort Worth
Texas.
you'll probably hear that I'm
going to marry Helen Twelve
trees, the actress, or Helene Mad
ison, the swimmer, just because
| happened to have my picture
taken with them," he comment
ed.
Samuel Plat, young Roose-
velt's attorney, refused to let
him answer further personal
questions.
Roosevelt and his companion,
Ralph V. Hitchcock, Of New York,
returned to Platt's summer home
on the Nevada shore of Lake
Tahoe after the interview. They
intended to fish and spend much
time outdoors for the next six
weeks, while establishing legal
Nevada residence.
The divorce probably will be
sought at Minden, New.
After her husband establishes
residence Mrs. Roosevelt is eX-
pected to file a divorce petition
and be granted the decree. That
procedure was used when Ann
Harding, motion picture acterss,
divorced Harry Bannister. Ban

American Aviator Quits
Efforts To Break The
Post-Gatty Time
FEELS THE BREAKS
ALL AGAINST HIM

MOSCOW, June 10.-UP).-
James j. Mattcrn was sighted at
1915 n. m. Moscow timc) today
(3:15 a. m. EDIT over Skovoro-
dino, approximately $50 miles
east of Chita.
BELOYE STATION. NEAR
IRKUTSK, SIBERIA, June To-
CUP).-James Mattcrn brought
his swift monoplanc Century of
Progress down here last night for
a nights rest, having abandoned
hope of lettering the Post-Gatty
record for the world flight.
Mattern, still hoping, however,
to be the first aviator to circle the
world alone, prepared to depart
eastward at dawn.
The Texan landed at Beloye
station at 3:45 p. m, Moscow
time (S:45 a. m. EDIT. after an
unevcntful fight from Krasnoy-
arSk, where he paused earlier in
the day for fuel. He reached
KraSnoyarsk from the little min"
ing town of Bielova, where he
was forced down, and again gave
his patched machine thorough
inspection.
Taking off there for Irkutsk,
he landed here, 50 miles west Of
that city, at the close of. the sew
enth day out from New York.
The impossibility of reaching
New York, still half way around
the world, in another SO hours
was obvious-a feat he would
have to achieve even to tie the
record of eight days, Is hours, 81
minutes set in 1881 by Wiley Post
and Harold Gatty.
The airport at Irkutsk is small
and unsuitable for plane AS
large as the Century Of Progress,
especially when carrying its load
of 700 gallons of gasoline, hence
Mattern brought his ship down
for the night in an open space
near this station on the Trans
Siberian railway.
The fier feels he has had par
ticularlv bad breaks in his flight
which began at Floyd Bennett
Field, New York, last Saturday
morning. He lost nearly "a hours
when he ran into bad weather and
fog over the East Atlantic, land
ing off the coast of Norway last
Sunday.
He was delayed by motor re-
pairs at Moscow, and patching up
a cracked wing. Motor trouble
forced him down at Bielovo, and
the tail of his monoplane was
damaged, requiring repairs which
were renewed at Krasnoyarsk.
Mattern appeared determined
to push on around the world de-
spite the fact he has lost his
chance for the speed record. lie
arrived in excellent physical con-
dition, having had a bath and
change of clothes at Krasnoy-
arsk, and some sleep during the
five-hour halt there.
The airman, prior to leaving
Krasnoyarsk, wrote to the local
newspaper there, The Worker,
thanking local aviators and tech
nicians for their help in repairing
the monoplane and refueling for
him.

HOPESOF c. O.P.
HANG ON FIGHT
OVER NRA
By International News Service

By International News Service
Growing diSSenSion over Pres1'
dent RooSevelt's recovery program
has given fresh hope to old line
Republican leaders, who hope to
stage q decided comeback in next
years Congressional elections.
Preliminary plans are being
made for a spirited Republican
campaign in numerous States and
Congressional districts which for
sock their Republican allegiance
to join in the great 1882 Roose'
velt landslide.
PrOgressiveS Loyal
Most off-year elections show a
gain for the minority party In
Congress, and the Democrats prl
vately admit they probably will
lose some seats. They point to
deep-rooted diSsension within Re
publican ranks, however, as a big
handicap to G. o. P. ambitions.
Contrary to a widely expressed
advance belief, Mr.. Roosevelt SO
far has retained the undivided
allegiance of Republican progres-
sives who bolted the Hoover-Cur-
tbs ticket in 1882.
These progressives include such
politically powerful figures as
Senator Norris of Nebraska, Sen
ator La Toilette of Wisconsin,
Senator Johnson of California,
and Senator Cutting Of New
Mexico.
WadswOrth a Factor
The Republican high command, |,
dominated by conservatives like
Senator Reed of Pennsylvania and
Representative WadSworth OF New
York, is mapping a plan of battle
intended to surmount the deep
rooted party schism in the of
year campaign.
This strategy will follow the
lines of guerilla warfare upon
than a unified frontal ATTACK
upon Administration policies. Re
publican candidates will be en-
couraged to seek the most vul-
nerable points in Democratic ar
NOR, with full regard for State
and local public sentiment.
Thus, while one candidate eau.
tiously approved the NRA and
lambasted the farm adjustment
administration, another might
take an oppoite tack by approx.
ing AGRICULTURAL relief efforts and
assailing the Blue Eagle.
