DENY EXHUMED
BODY THAT OF
MISSING MAN

WAHOO, Neb., June s. U.P)-
Identification of body recovered
from lonely grave in a pasture
near Oshkosh, Neb., as that Of
John Frahm, was discredited to-
day by DR.. R. F. McCreery, dentist
who attended the wealthy Glen
dale, Ariz., oil operator when he
was serving as county official
here more than 20 years ago.
McCreery said his examination
of the teeth of the body believed
to be that Of Frahm did not COR
respond with his records of work
done by him. McCreery's findings
were upheld by the findings of
DR.. D. H. Foster, Glendale, Ariz.,
dentist who told the United Press
the body was not that Of John
Frahm.
Recovery of the body and identi-
fication of the remains resulted in
the arrest of Fred Frahm, brother
of the missing man, on charges OF
first degree murder. Frahm plead
ed not guilty when arraigned and
was bound over to district court
for trial during the october term.
The Filings found in the teeth
of the body uncovered near Osh-
kosh did not check with my rec
ords," McCreery said. II mes
saged my findings to Frahm's
dentist at Glendale, who apparent
ly has confirmed my findings

METROPOLITAN OPERA TO GIVE
ONE.NICHT STAND At ROCHESTER

No revision was necessary, the COM
poser said, because the motives,
characters and conditioning circum-
stances Of the book are so firmly fixed
in the opening scenes that was able
to continue with the music as the text
was furnished by Mr.. Stokes"
Although the work does not employ
the device of identifying a given
character with given musical theme,
the music grows out of ITSELF"
1.-THE first act belongs to the Puri-
tans," DR.. Hanson points out, "the
second to the cavaliers, the third is
given over to conflict between the
two elements. and the fourth act be-
longs again to the Puritans.
In addition, the children's games
and mountebank music of act one
serves as prototype for the maypole
music Of act two. and these again are
transformed into the Satanic revels
Of the minister's dream in act three"
Possibly because of the acclaim with
which Merry Mount" has been re-
ceived, there has been a revival of
interest in DR.. Hanson's other music
IN late weeks.
His cantata, 1.-THE Lament for Beo-
wulf," has had q New York perform
ance; his Romantic" symphony has
been heard three times In Chicago
under Frederick Stock, and his Nor
die" symphony was given with sue
cess In Havana. =

The passing Of the last day for can
didates to withdraw from ballots this
week revealed Pinchot will be the
chief contender against Senator
David A. Reed for the Republican
senatorial nomination, although there
are two other candidates. On the
Democratic ballot the senatorial fight
will center chiefly between former
National Committeeman Joseph F.
Guffey, now the Roosevelt patronage
dispenser in Pennsylvania, and Ro-
Japan.
The lack of cohesion among units
Of the States formerly well-knit Re-
publican organization is best Illus
trated by the fight for the governor
ship. Sixteen candidates remained in
the race for the Republican nomina-
ton, when the deadline for with
drawals brought retirement from only
2 of the 18 who had filed their
petitions.
None Of the 16 now has sufficient
support to be considered far ahead
of the field, and it is not yet apparent
whether enough can be eliminated -
concentrate the fight between two or
three. It appears now the nomina-
ton may 60 to any Of six. Judge
Marion D. Patterson, Blair County;
Judge Robert E. Lamberton. Phila-
delphia; Lieut.. Gov. Edward c. Shan
non, Lancaster, and Thomas w.
Phillips, jr., Butler, former member
of Congress, all are hopeful Of re-
ceiving backing of several organ.za-
ton factions. Attorney General VIII
liam A. Schnader, Philadelphia, has
support Of the Pinchot wing and some
organization groups. Charles ]. Mar
giotti, counsel for Senator James j.
Davis in his lottery trial, is expected
to draw the votes of the large Italian

VEST POINT HOAX DISCLOSED
AS JOHNSON'S BIGGEST WORRY

CHARLESTON, S. c., April Z (P.-
Gen. Hugh S. johnson may have try
ing experiences as administrator Of
the N. R. A., but his college chum,
Lieut.. Col. Jesse CASTOR, doubts any
would compare with a prank played
by classmates at West Point.
The colonel, who is commandant
Of cadets at the citadel, South Caro-
lima Military College, told the story
here the other day.
Several West Point cadets in the
class Of 1908, including Gen. John
son and Col. CASTOR, were accus-
toned to gathering in the dormitory
corridor after taps to smoke and
spin yarns, the colonel recalled.
One evening johnson suggested the
academy really needed a baby for a
mascot. His chums ured him on with
suggestions.
Chums Hatch Plot.
Finally they agreed to get a baby
from a founding home, hide it In a
dormitory and smuggle the necessary
milk from the mess halls. When the
inspector came around, they further
agreed, the baby would be hung out
Of the window in a laundry bag.
After the discussion, Johnson's
friends decided on a frame-up. They
wrote to a girl friend in school at
New York to obtain stationery from
q founding home and write very
official letter, informing johnson the
home had been advised Of his desire
ana was sending him q 2-year-old

r 7 ARRISBURG. Pa, April Z
Acting to limit public utility
profits through rates reduced
L L to fit the lower income Of
consumers, the Pennsylvania
Public Service Commission this week
announced it will consider per cent
as a maximum fair return to the
companies so long as the present
economic conditions exist"
For many years the commission has
allowed z per cent as fair return
and has approved tariffs which would
produce net earnings at that rate on
the value Of the companies properties.
Frequently the annual profits of some
companies have been considerably
higher than per cent.
High-earning companies which in
1888 netted more than per cent will
be called into conference by the COM
mission in an effort to induce the
corporations to cut rates voluntarily.
If companies refuse. the commission
has authority to Initiate rate suits of
its own motion against such holdouts.
Earnings u SOHtTOl ACtlOu.
Companies whose earnings during
the depression years have failed to
approximate 6 per cent will be ex-
empted from requests to lower their
rates. The corporations upon whom
pressure will be brought will be Sc
lected from the 1900 under the COM
missions control, according to earn
ings revealed in the reports they have
filed for 1888.
Attaches of the commission estimate
SIS, 1000, 900 to 100000 will be pared
from corporations collections from
consumers, If all companies which
earned more than per cent last year
are forced to reduce rates to keep in
come within that limit.
While political considerations may
not have governed the timing of the
commissions move for general rate
revision, it is the second step to re-
duce rates to consumers which the
Pinchot-controlled commission has
undertaken since Gov. Pinchot on
February 26 announced his candidacy
for United States Senate. On March
10 the commission ordered reductions
Of 8 to 25 cents ton in freight rates

He really became worried then. He
lost sleep, paced the floor and had no
appetite, said the colonel.
After three or four days Johnson

the joke far enough and informed him
of the hoax.
