The government will attempt to
prove that this was the chain of
events:
When Mrs. Frances Nash of Hot
Springs learned that federal Off
cars had arrested her husband,
she called friends, Mr.. and Mrs.
Herbert A. Farmer, at Joplin, Mo-,
and in company with Richard T.
and Mrs. Elizabeth Galatas, who
were with her at Hot Springs,
flew to Joplin, where she was met
by the Farmers.
From there she called Chicago
and got Louis Stacci, a friend of
the late ''Machine-gun Jack" Nc
Gurn.
Stacci then, in a series of calls,
got in touch with Verne Miller
in Kansas City. And later Miller
was advised in a call from Joplin
what time the Nash party was
due in Kansas City.

u ANSAS CITY, Mo, Nov. T.
N It was easy to guess the men
behind the triggers at the Union
station massacre; harder to prove
the guesses correct; harder still
to catch the butchers.
But death, who had seemed on
the side of the gangsters on the
union station plaza, turned at last
to the governments side.
Harvey Bailey was suspected; in
fact, there we're witnesses who said
they saw him in the station short
" before the massacre, inquiring
the time of incoming Missouri
Pacific trains.
Verne Miller, st. Paul gunman
and ex-sheriff, was known to have
been in town; in fact, he appears
to have had the gall to appear at
the station some time after the
massacre, inquiring for friends.
Pretty Boy" Floyd and Adam
Richetti were known to be in the
neighborhood, for they had, just
about the same time that the Off
GERS were nabbing Nash in Hot
Springs, kidnapped Sheriff Jack
Killingsworth at Bolivar, Mo-, and
taken him to Kansas City, releas-
ing him there and disappearing.
With men like Bailey, Miller,
Floyd and Richetti in town, it was
pretty easy to compile a list Of
suspects. And federal agents, burn
ing with the murder of Caffrey,
went to work.
DALEY was the first to uncover
ID himself. Within a month ne
rerpetrated the kidnapping of
Charles Urschel. oil millionaire, at
Oklahoma City.
The ransom money in the Ur-
Schell case passed on the streets
of Kansas City, suggesting that
Bailey was working on his
schemes here.
But justice agents caught up
with Bailey on a Kansas City golf
links. where he and his friends
were disporting themselves, and
packed him away for life sem
tence.
He has been moved to Alcatraz
prison in San Francisco bay, from
which nobody has yet escaped.
And if his life sentence isn't long
enough, an indictment still hangs
over his head for the Union sta
ton massacre, and he always can
be tried for murder.
OF all the suspects, the officers
were most certain of Verne Mil
Ter. His pretty little home in
Kansas City suddenly was found
deserted. On a beer bottle found
there were fngerprintS of Floyd.
1t looked good, and the search
for Miller was on in full force. He
and Floyd were reported to have
met in Cleveland after the maSSa-

of Detroit was found one morning
a horribly mutilated body.
The victim had been stabbed to
death with an ice-pick or some
such weapon, sewn in sack, and
thrown into a ditch. The face
was unacceptable.
TINE fingerprints told the story.
l. They were Miller's. Some of
his gangland associates in booze
running or murder either had
become afraid Miller knew too
much, or felt he had double
crossed them in the killing OF
Nash.
Anyway, one more name was of
the government list.
Wilbur Underhill, who, like
Miller, had been a friend and as
sociate of Nash, also was on that
list. When he made good his es-
cape from the Kansas peniten-
tiary, he had disappeared into the
wild Ozark country that had
harbored the James boys.
But, although he lodged about
from town to town like the wild
and hunted thing he was, the law
caught up with Underhill at Shaw
nee, Okla, on the last day of 1888.
Routed from his bed, he was
shot down in the street as he
made one last desperate effort to
run away. And that was another
name crossed off the list.
Floyd and Richetti were the
men wanted to complete the
roster of death. Each had a long
record of murder and robbery be-
fore the union station massacre.
Richetti, less widely known and
less picturesque than Floyd, is
wanted in Missouri for the cold

dents inner group Of advisers.
That is the true significance be-
hind the recent executive order
consolidating the executive coun-
Gil and the national emergency
council, with Richberg at the
head of the new unit.
There are two other items in
the order whose weighty import
ance in coming events is known
to only a few on the inside.
The first was the broad power
bestowed on Richberg to select
the field and headquarters per-
sonnet of the consolidated agency
without regard to civil service re-
quirementS.
This means that Richberg has
been entrusted with the task OF
organizing a staff that can reach
into every stable community in
the country. and be beholden di-
rectly to the White House.
The second was the detailed
enumeration of the many func-
tons of the new council. and par
ticularly the statement that 1t

ties as the President may direct"

HOWEVER, some of the statesmen and holders of
Il appointive Office had been making racket of
their flying privilege. If they wished to go home for
a weekend, even though the government was paying
them excessive railroad mileage to cover their travel
they would call up the army or navy or the marines

Sometimes they carried their families with them
these journeys and there even were occasions
when some of the boys used government planes and
pilots social errands. Statesmen have plenty Of
gall.
The result was that the army, navy and marine
fiers couldn't make their allotment of fuel suffice Tor
their routine flying duties and it decided hence
forth to abolish this traffic altogether except on
special authorization by the President.
In this case, however, the mission CT the states

Inasmuch they bound to go to Miami any

because Of this wide range of motion that the Shout

When the shoulder joint gets stiff and painful
you may as we'll quit work, for any further effort

ditions which bring about this trouble.
According to scientific authorities, the shoulder
has evolved from a walking joint, when mans prede
ceSSor walked on four legs, to a weight-carrying
joint. Therefore. the human shoulder has lost much
of its previous stability, strength, and durability
1t seems likely that the condition called "a stiff
painful shoulder" is due to rupture of of the
small tendons of the joint This rupture is asso-
Ciated with the existence of deposits of material in
the tendon around IL
