Storm Sewers for Macon.
To dispose of rain falling on the
huge hull OF the U. 8. Q. Macon, it
has been necessary to construct A
system Of storm sewers for the giant
airship.
During the recent fieet maneuvers,
several heavy transforms were en-
countered by the Macon while riding
to the mast at Miami The nearly
nat surfaces Of the cover along the
top Of the airship hull collected 30
much water they sagged beneath its
weight and numerous leaks occurred.
The water running down the slopes
to bow and stern collected in louvres
near the ends and at times many
pounds Of rain water gathered in
few minutes. A considerable
amount Of water found its way down
between the gas cells and into the
control car. II became necessary 10
cut holes In the top Of the control
car and IN the buffer bag to drain
them.
The new storm sewer which has
been installed provides o drainage
line which draws the water on the
top OF the bag into O channel along
the catwalk, with an overheard dis
charge. The control car ceiling has
been pitched 10 shed water and de-
Election cutters are installed In the
area Immediately forward Of the car.
The buffer bag and elevators have
been fltted with drainage openings.

FEDERAL ACENTS MAY UNCOVER OLD
 KIDNAPPING CASE
Charles Urschel Abduction Has Never Been Fully
 Cleared Up

Portland, Ore, Nov 9-(UP)- Discovery of $2O bank notes, paid in the $250,000 ransom of Charles Urschel, led, federal investigators today to announce further arrests were imminent in one of the na- tion's outstanding Kidnapping cases. With IF persons already captured as alleged members of the gang which seized and held the Okla homa City millionaire in July last year, department of justice agents expect to write finis to the case through new disclosures uncovered in three Oregon cities.
 Further developments may de- pend ol the recovery of Alvin H. Scott, suspect injured in an auto- mobile accident and now in serious condition in hospital at Roseburg, Ore. Agents say they found $1,360 of the ransom money in his pos- session and an additional $1,460 hidden in a house he occupied at Medford. In the Medford home in- vestigators found a secret room. It had a specially constructed ven- tilating system and an electric heater. And was sound-proof. In- NeSIlSdlOTS SlOOU III the TOOIn dLlu shouted. No one outside could hear their calls. .....
 Agents learned that the dwelling had been leased last June by Miss Margaret Hurricane, Scott's house. keeper and relative of Clara Feldman. Miss Feldnian represent ed herself at the Urschel trial as the wife of Albert Bates, one of the kidnap gang. She was reported to have been in Portland recently. Bates now is serving a life term in prison, with George (Machine Gun) Kelley and Harvey Bailey. named as leaders in the Kidnapping.

IOLD TAILOR LEFT X
 ALL HIS ESTATE TO DARTMOUTH
5000 Was What He Had
 Made Since Locating on College Campus

Hanover, N. H., Nov 9-(UP)- "old Charlie" Smith, German cam pus tailor who was ''broke" when he came to Hanover, today had be- queathed his entire fortune $9,0O0-to Dartmouth college.
 Just another tailor when he came here, "Old Charlie" became campus institution and, before he died October 19, he stipulated that his bequest should be known as the Christian Frederick Smith fund, and that it should be used for the faculty as the trustees shall direct. *.
 Intimates who called him "His Excellency' because of the type of clothes he wore and the dignity of his bearing said his affection for the college and for the men he knew on campus prompted his be- quest, which left all he had earned in Hanover to Dartmouth.
 "Old Charlie" became familiar figure in the college tap room, where students gathered around him to hear him spin tales over a glasssof beer. Few, if any, how ever, knew his past. He was born in Germany and had lived in Sweden and England. He came. to Hanover from Boston. "Old Char lie" never mentioned his family yet his will leaves a dollar each to a son and daughter believed to be on the west coast.
 The tailor seldom left the cam pus. A month ago he was stricken with pneumonia and died. Only a few intimate friends saw "Old Charlie.s' casket lowered into a grave in Pine Knoll cemetery.
 But today, his name was on the lips of every Dartmouth student.

Weekly ReDielU GiDen OfNeuDEngLand Trade
Dun and Bradstreet, Inc, Reported an Increase in 8s Woolen Goods Buying During Past Week

Boston, Nov 9-(UP)--An in- crease in woolen goods buying was reported today by Dun x Brad street, Inc, in the weekly review of New England trade conditions.
 s'In the Boston market" the re- view said, "the turnover of wool for the past week was moderate, though slightly above the previous week, the principal trading being fin the finer grades of western grown wools.
 "A fair quantity of carpet wools was sold during the week at firm uprices. The past two weeks has shown an increase in the amount of orders for wool tops, interest being centered in the finer grades at firm prices. Deliveries also have become more active.
 '.Cotton gods production contin- res to be considerably in excess of last years output. but during the week the demand for finished goods slowed down, to some eX- tent, and the buyers are hesitatinG somewhat to pay current prices. Yarns are fairly active at steady prices.
 q 2 cllusetts increased "A per cent dur ing September, as compared with August. During the past week, there was not much of an improve ment in the volume of new orders received, but it is expected that the quantity buyers will place a sub- stantial amount of orders before long, Prices of hides and skins I o1t alnS have not been large. The leather market is firmer and many grades of leather are selling somewhat better.
 "Lumber dealers report a more active call for the various grades of hardwoods at firm prices. The demand for wood pulp continues with little change, and, although quotations remain as formerly, the market is weak. Contracts awarded in New England during the past week showed a gain, and are con siderably above the average for the the year to date.
 ''Steel production was up 10 per cent this week. Steel bars are more active but there is very little in- uuiry for steel shapes, and inter est in plates is declining, The principal call for pig iron is from the heating units, and the principal call for scrap iron is for export.
 Manufacturers of air-condi- toned equipment are increasing their sales and there are more calls for electric supplies. Additional men have been put to work in the shipyards. Electric output during the past week increased A per cent over the previous week, and now is on about the same level Of the corresponding week last year.

 NOT TO TESTIFY

Los Angeles, November 9-(UP) - A possibility of Jean Harlow testifying anew in the suicide of her second husband, Paul Dern, vanished today when it was learned the county grand jury was confin- ing its investigation to the district attorneys expenditures from his secret service fund.

YOUNG FACTORY WORKER KILLED
 LITTLE l: FAMILY
Wife :. and Two Children
 Were Victims-He Then Took Own Life

Stoneham, Mass, Nov 9-(UP)-- Scarlet letters, penned in the blood
 of the victims, today offered the only explanation for the murderous frenzy of young factory worker who strangled his wife, stabbed to death. his new born son and two- year-old daughter, and then hanged himself to a chandelier. The grue- some farwell notes, placed beside each body, were translated by po- lice as indicating that Joel Em- manuel Lindquist. 27, was insanely jealous-apparently without reason -of his 25-year- old wife, Corinne. Bodies of the couple, their daugh- ter, Syrenes, and their unchristened 12 2-day-old son were discovered by police last night, each in separate room of the family's top-fioor apartment in three-decker on Wright street. Strange noises heard by neighbors indicated that the crimes were committed between 1:30 and a. m. yesterday.
 Mrs Lindquist's body. fully clothed, lay on the floor of cupoll just over the apartment. A leather belt apparently had been used to strangle her. In a clothes basket in a bedroom was the baby's body. stabbed through the breast with q pairing knife. The daughters body lay in her crib. Her throat had been slashed with a bread knife. She clutched a homemade teddy bear. Nearby was another note:
 "Red human blood to you. This life has been a great adventure. Just a dream. The death will be still another. I killed the one l loved by why let innocent children suffer the horrible sufferings life is filled with" In another bedroom police found the body of Lind quist, hanging by a leather strap from chandelier. A metal bed had been up-ended as additional support for the body.

THUNDER CHAPS OF CATSKILLS
 ARE REVEALED
Park Rangers Discovered Treasure Cave Seekers
 Were Responsible

New York, Nov. 9.-CUP) New York state park rangers know Rip Van Wrinkle legends but can't stand idly by when mysterious echoes of thunder drift down across the Cats kill mountains on sunny days when there's not a thunderhead in the sky. Not in 1884.
 The mystery of thunder but no tn 1derheads over the purple mountains puzzled the rangers for months, it was disclosed today. They recalled the Washington Irv- ing legend of gnomes and games of nine-pins in the rolling moun- tains, but even this rich lore of the country failed to explain the m'-sterious thunder
 Major William A. Welch, gen. eral manager of the Palisades inter- state park, ordered a sharp watch for unusual happenings in the rough, tree-clad countryside where, not far from New York, is a wild erness as musty and terraine as difficult to cover as in the days of Washington Irving.
 Thet Rangers watched, in vain, oiiSAA o lC" utlJ dSO "hSA lhCy saw four men, small in stature, ( bent under heavy loads toiling through the morning sunlight up Letterrock mountain. There was rude trail up the mountainside and the little man followed it. Troopers, uneasily re- calling Rip Van Wrinkle, tralled.
 At last the little men halted and dropped their burdens. One knelt and began drilling a hole in the rocky mountainside. Another stuff ed something in the hole. A third struck a match. Then all drew back. A terrific explosion rocked the earth.
 Down across the Catskills drift ed the echo of thunder.
 The rangers stepped out of their hiding places. They asked the little men what they were doing but they angrily shook their heads, refusing to answer. They went back down the mountainside- still angry and silent-as prison CTS.
 After hours of questioning and the discovery of signed docu- ment in their possession, the men said they had been sent there by syndicate formed to hunt a treasure cave supposedly filled with silver bars and dollars in barrels.
 "They said they were told to blast away the mountainside and they tried to time their blasts from a CCC camp where work was being done on a road not far away" the rangers said. They wouldn't tell who had sent them, nor why they thought they could find a treasure cave"
 But Major Welch thought of a possible explanation. He recalled that last April letter was receiv- ed from Charles w. Wenk in New York. A friend had found a cave in the region, Wenk said. and asked permission to. explore it. The friend crawled into the cave and came out with flakes of silver and gold on his clothes. Wenk however said he had no connection with the men arrested and fined $25 each for defacing state property.
 The maj jor recalled that a letter in the Morgan library dated 1890 gives directions to mysterious cave, perhaps in the Letterrock re- zion, where fin a crack of the rock is the bars of silver hid. In the mine is two barrels of dollars"
 The four men arrested and fined said their search was based on a map in the Morgan Library,

SENATOR B0RAH
 MAKES DEMANDS
(continued from Page ID


 The senator refused to amplify his statement demanding reorgan- ization of the republican party or to specify in what respects or b% whom the party should be re- formed. He was gratified with the apparent victory of Senator Bron- son Cutting in New Mexico.
 .If Cutting has won we'll have a jubilee anyhow" Borah said.
 The fact tht 12,000,000 persons voted the republican ticket was taken by Borah as indication that the party is amply in demand.
 Questioned about continuing the national industrial recovery act Borah said it would have to be materially revised in his opinion because he believes that under the codes there is greater concen- tration of wealth than has ever gone on in this country before
 Standard Statistics, Borah said, reported recently that 402 corpora tions exercising practical monop- olies had shown a gain of eos per cent in net earnings under the codes.
 The abolition of child labor and some other phases were promised the senator's support, but he said the labor bargaining clause, sec tion "A, twill have to be rewritten so he will know what it means if it is to be anything but torment" Borah said he would continue to support such Roosevelt policies as he believed in. On the bonus he would go no further than to say he favored cancellation of interest on money borrowed on bonus cer- tificates, which he said was "wiping out the most impoverished vet erans."
 He said he never has favored in f1ation but does favor recitation" to the extent of restoring the dol lar to the values it had at the time debts were contracted.

DEMURRER FILED
 BY CLOSED BANK
Counsel Claims FOreclOs.. are Complaint lnaccu=
 rateIy Drawn, Void

An unusual question in fore- closure procedure was raised Tn superior court today when Attorney William E. Thoms. counsel for the receiver for the Merchants Trust Co. filed a demurrer to the com plaint filed by the Waterbury Saw ings bank against Moresta DeBar- tolomeo and others. The receiver for the Trust company is a de- fendant in that it holds a second mortgage on the property sought to be foreclosed by the Waterbury Savings bank. Judge John A. Cor nell who heard the issues took the paper under advisement.
 Attorney Thoms claims the fore closure complaint is inaccurately drawn and therefore void. He de- clared the same is true in great many foreclosure complaints drawn in the city.
 The principal defest as noted by Attorney Thoms was that the space wherein the amount of in surance to be covered on the prop erty as included in the foreclosure contract, was left blank. He said, "The mortgage does not state the amount of insurance which must be kept on the premises for the benefit of the mortgagee, nor that the amount shall be by policies and in amounts satisfactory to the mortgagee. Said premises shall be kept insured to the benefit of said savings bank in the sum of at least $-'. There is no way of as- pertaining either from the record or otherwise what this condition means. It is wholly indefinite and uncertain"
 Attorney IGager who represented the savings bank said it was the opinion of his client that inas- much. as no insurance agreement had been effected between the par ties, 1t was decided to leave the insurance coverage to the home owner,
