Ne,u Storm Forecast Principle
Is Revealed by Meteorologist
u. Instructor Claims
Method Proved Value in Prediction
of November Disturbance.

BY the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, November IA
weather observer, returning from q
rendezvous with major storm he
foresaw months ago, has disclosed
q new principle of calculating the
weather far in advance.
He Is Selby Maxwell, instructor in
meteorology, who has been doing re-
search work in laboratory at North
western University, Evanston, III.
After three years work, Maxwell
said he has evolved a principle OF
astronomical computation of the
weather" which he calls "forecasting
by astronomy" He has invented
"magnetometer" to aid him in his
computations.
"You can predict the worlds
weather for two years in advance with
the same ease that you might predict
a storm for tomorrow" he asserted in
an interview.
November Storm Predicted.
Before explaining his new principle,
Maxwell spread out a blueprint con-
tanning IL weather diagrams.
Last August, he said, he knew there
would be a major storm in the North
eastern United States in mid-Novem-
Der. In October he made IL charts
of the storms course, and placed
blueprint of the storm in the hands
of Navy weather men and his friends.
It called for a start on November II,
and on that date he began driving
eastward from Chicago. It rained hard
at first.
At Niagara Falls on November 13
he noted how heavy winds had blown
back the water of Lake Erie, drying
up the falls. Then he hit an ice
storm in Upper New York State, went
over to the Atlantic Coast in New
England and drove southwark along
the coast as heavy gales swept the
t seaboard last week end. thus confirm

ing the charted course he had pre-
dicted.
ut was interesting to note the Diff
ferent manifestations of the same
storm at various points," he said.
THE winds on Lake Erie, the ice sheet
in New York State and the Atlantic
gales were all from the same source.
a cold mass Of air from over Green
land"
His new principle is based on the
fact that the relative motions of the
earth, moon and sun are irregular.
resulting in q slight motion of the
earth's whole mass.
THAT causes the atmosphere. which
is like fluid, to slosi1 back and forth
over the earth, just as water will slosh
out OF pan II the pan is jiggled," :"
he said.
Maxwell computes the relative
changes OF the magnetic fields of the
earth, moon and sun, which form
an astronomical triangle of continu-

ally variable shape. From this he
knows the variation in the earths
motion and hence the later variations
in atmospheric masses, making pos
sible long-range forecasting.
'Pulsationsv Are Recorded.
In addition, his "magnetometer'
records 'pulsations" Of the earth's
magnetic field instantly. The atmos-
phere. sluggish and bulky, makes cor
responding changes about IL days
later.
The weather ahead?
Maxwell predicts less snow than
usual this Winter. During the whole
Winter there will be about one months
snowfall" he said. "That means about
two good SHOWS during the Winter
instead Of seven or eight.
There will be another drought
next year." he continued, remarking
that he had foreseen the last one.
"The whole Northern Hemisphere will
be subject to q drought until August,
then next Fall the weather will be
wetter than usual"

K|DNAP GANG
IS BELIEVED
SPLIT Up
Scattering of Ransom Bills
Hints Mob Is in Flight;
Five Suspects Named

TACOMA, Wash, June 6
G.N.SO.-With the recovery Of
ransom bills indicating that the
kidnapers of George Weyer-
haeuser had split up and were
in full flight, and with one man
believed to be already in custody,
police and Federal agents grimly
pressed the hunt today for the
"egoist" snatch gang.
Jack Bailey, former king-pin
Tacoma bootlegger, was reported
held at a secret detention place
where he was being grilled by
the G-Men. Police and Federal
officers, however, denied Bailey
had been arrested as Joe Bailey"
at the Savoy Hotel in Seattle
last night.
Flight Indicated
The recovery of $40 ransom
bills at Huntington, Ore, and
Spokane Wash, and the report
that a "hot" $40 bill had been re.
covered here, indicated to officers
that the kidnap gang, composed
Of local bad men, ex-bootleggerS
and eX-convicts, was in flight
rather than hiding.
The bill at Spokane, authorities
believed, was passed by occupants
of the tan sedan that was the
object of a frantic search through
out Southeastern oregon last
Sunday and Monday. The Hunt
ington bill was passed by a man
believed to have been one Of the
kidnapers, who purchased a ticket
to Salt Lake City.
The hunt was pressed today for
four other men besides Bailey
who were named by Detective
Capt. John keenan,, of Portland,
as possible suspects, as well as
for half dozen men wanted for
questioning by G-Men and Seattle
and Tacoma police, whose names
were not revealed.
Suspects Named
Besides Bailey, among those
wanted for questioning in the kid
mapping, whose names have been
made public, are:
Richard C. Franzeen and Eli
oft w. Kitchener, ex-convicts and
fugitiveS from justice; Herbert
Lester tombstone, eX-Washington
State reformatory inmate, and
Clarence Martin.
The names of these men were
broadcast by Captain keenan, as
the net around the "Egoist' was
believed to be closing.

ALLEGED FOR
TAX FIGHT
Action Brought Under Law
Barring Officers From
Cases Involving U. S.

An indictment charging Col.
Joseph I. McMullen. former chief
Of the patent section of the Judge
Advocate Generals Department,
with lobbying against a tax meas
ure pending in Congress in 1882,
was reported by the District Grand
Jury today.
The officer is alleged to have
received a total of $1,700 from the
Cuban-American Manganese Cor
poration in 1882 and 1888 as a
retainer for which he was to lobby
against an excise tax on imported
manganese.
The indictment was brought
under a section of the United
States penal code, which makes it
a criminal offense for an officer
to receive compensation for serv-
ices rendered in matter in which
the United States Government is
interested.
u. s. Opposed Tax
The officers indictment pre-
sents an unusual situation, since
his alleged lobbying activities were
considered in the best interests of
the military service, as the War
Department was officially opposed
to the tax on manganese, a
product used in the manufacture
of the finest steel.
The offenSe, according to the
office of United States Attor-
ney Leslie c. Garrett, was in the
alleged acceptance by Colonel Nc
Mullen of the retainer from the
Cuban firm.
More Indictments Loom
Today's Grand Jury action in
the case of Colonel McMullen is
understood to open up a new trail
of irregularities in connection
with Army contracts and may lead
to further indictments.
Some months ago, after pre-
Sentation by Assistant District At
torney D. A. Pine, a District of
Columbia Grand Jury investigated
but failed to indict certain War
Department officials suspected of
graft on Army motor-equipment
contracts.
The report of the House Mill
taryr Affairs Committee is now
being studied by Assistant District
Attorney Allen Krouse. with a
view of possible reopening of the
case. No decision on this point
has been reached by the District
Attorneys office.
McMulIen Reprimanded
The Krouse study involves the
charges which resulted in the
courtmartial of Brig. Gen. A. E.
Williams, former chief of the
transportation division of the
quartermasterS' corps. Williams
had been accused of soliciting and
accepting a loan from Frank
Speicher reputed lobbyist for
motor interests.

LURA---, Va, June 6-Overjoyed
to escape the death penalty which
the State had demanded for the
murder Of his wife, Ordelia, Ernest
Meadows, Blue Ridge mountain
farmer, today faced 20 years in
the penitentiary with a smile.
Found guilty of second degree
murder by a jury late yesterday,
Meadows was given the maximum
sentence. Although he had plead
ed guilty and claimed that he
killed his wife by accident, Mead
ows said:
II can stand it. I told my
children to be good while am
gone and to be sure to go to
Sunday School,
Appeal Planned
While Meadows seemed cheer
full, his attorneys planned to ap-
peal the sentence and asked for a
writ of error. The trial judge re-
fused to grant a stay of sentence
pending the appeal, and it is ex-
pected he will be taken to prison
to start serving the sentence with
in day or two.
All the six Meadows children,
whose testimony was largely re-
sponsible for the conviction of
their father, came to visit him at
the county Jail last night.
The children, ranging in age
from 10 to II, have been attempt
ing to run the family farm, but
were reported to be in destitute
circumstances.
Quarrel Denied
Meadows took the witness stand
in his own defense. He deried
that he had quarreled with his
wife.

Officials of Albany Baseball
Team Plan Fight on RuI-
ing of League President

ALBANY, N. Y, June 6 G.N.SD.
Alabama Pitts, star of the Sing
Sing prison baseball and football
teams, arrived here today for q
showdown on whether an eX-con-
Wet is entitled to play in organized
baseball if he has the ability to
make good.
Pitts, looking more like college
athlete than man just released
from a five-year prison sentence,
has been taken on by the Albany
International League team. Judge
w. C. Bramham, president OF the
National Association of Minor Pro-
fessional Baseball Leagues, has
declared the public would resent"
Pitts playing.
AS soon as the young Southerner
arrived here, he was taken under
the protecting wing of John J.
Evers, general manager of the Al
bany club. Evers, one Of the scrap
piest players ever in the major
leagues, served notice that he will
battle to give Pitts a chance. He
said:
"He's entitled to a chance.
There is no law in organized
aseball which bars him. He
will wait, however, and see
what the final decision from
Judge Bramham is to be. So
far he he has made no official
ruling"
Pitts was content to permit
Evers to do most of the talking,
but said:
II just want to say that
hope mighty hard to play base.
ball. I guess you can say I'm
praying I'll have the chance.
81 want to go straight.
81 don't blame Judge Bran
ham. He's doing what he thinks
is right, but I'm mighty appre-
ciative for what Warden Lawes,
Mr.. EverS and the others are
trying to do for me-"
In New York today Col. Jake
Rupert, owner of the New York
Yankees, said he would not have
Alabama Pitts on his ball club.
He said:
II don't think it would be
fair to the other players to
have an excOnvict among
them"
Other offers made Pitts are
from Dayton, of the Middle At
lantic League and the House of
David team.
Clark Griffith, president of the
Washington Baseball Club, which
is linked with Albany, the minor
league club that wanted to sign
Alabama" Pitts, the released
Sing Sing athlete, today declared
that he believes every man should
be given a chance to stage a
comeback" and that he would
have no personal or official OBJ

nonhardened type being given an
opportunity to make good in base.
