CATURDAY morning at clock,
- Simon p. Roache, golf coach at
Shortridge High School. will send
the first foursone of high school
golfers from the starting tee at
Speedway course in quest of the
fourth annual 1928 Indiana High
School Athletic Association team
and individual championship. A total
OF 43 teams OF four men each or
172 individuals have sent in ad-
vance enSries.
Columbus high school will be play
ing IN defense OF the crown ii won
last year over the same course with
a f5dr-man team total of 3lS. Not
all the same individuals of that
squad viii be on hand. and neither
will Bob Hamilton of Reitz High in
Evansville, who captured the medal
list honors last year with a u, one
over course par.
In the first annual championship
held at South Grove in 1882. Jeffer-
son of Lafayette coached by A. B.
Masters captured the team laurels
with a total of BIT. Donald Humes
of Marion turned in an individual
score of rs to capture medalist
hOnors.
THE second annual high school
Il tournament was played at
Speedway course in 1888 and Incl
dentally another total of 3l7 cap
tured the first team honors. Tech
nical of Indianapolis was the win
ming quartet. and since the Speed
way is conceded to be the harder
course. the Tech total of BIT is con-
sidered to be the best total tuned
in. since Columbus won the third
annual last year with 316.
In 1888 Bud Pettigrew. mite OF a
golfer from Pendleton High School.
banged out a IA to capture the med
alist honors of that event. and Of
course the 70 made by Hamilton
last year was the best turned in at
any of the three tournaments.

ated the place for number Of
years and had not been arrested

AN n HARDING
DUE To WE'D

Army circles in the Capital
were intrigued today by reports
that Major Ben M. Sawbridge,
distinguished artillery officer, we'll
known here, is to marry Ann
Harding, the film star.
Old friends, the actress and the
officer were constantly together
while Miss Harding was in HOMO
lulu on a vacation recently, and
since her return to Hollywood the
major has been keeping the trans
pacific telephone lines busy,
friends said.
Asked about the rt1mors, Major
Sawbridge, who is stationed at
Schofield Barracks, Honolulu,
said: ..
II neither deny nor confirm
the reports, but any statement
Miss Harding wishes to make is
all right with me-" ......
In Hollywood, Miss Harding
was reported to have denied the
engagement, but friends expressed
the belief that she will return to
Honolulu when she finishes her
next picture and marry the Off

RECEIVER ASKED
FOR MISSING
v D MAN
Law Signed by President Only
Tuesday Is Invoked in
Brashears Case

A law signed by the President
Tuesday, amending the District
Code provisions for administering
the estates of persons believed to
be dead, was invoked in District
Supreme Court today by the
mother of Miss Emma G. Brasil
ears, Patent Office employee, who
disappeared June Is, 1927.
Formerly the only statute in the
District Code which could prevent
the dissipation of the estates of
absentees and absconders was the
code provision that permitted in.
stitution of proceedings to have
such a person declared legally
dead after the expiration of seven
years.
Law Rarely Used
The law was rarely used for the
reason that, if property was in
Volved, the bond required of the
administrator of the estate would
be so burdensome as to render the
proceedings almost useless.
Attorney George C. Gertman
had the new bill presented in Con.
gress a year ago providing that
when Dis. let resident has been
absent and his whereabouts have
been unknown for more than two
years, any person interested in the
conservation and disposition of
his property may bring suit in
District Supreme Court, naming
the United States Attorney as de.
1endant, and have a receiver ap.
pointed to take over the property
under court order.
Coat and Purse Found
Mrs. Mary E. Brashears, of the
$500 block of Western Ave. N. w.,
the plaintiff in the present suit,
informs the court that her daugh.
ter slipped away from a sanitarium
where she was taken following a.
nervous breakdown on June is,
1927, and the following day her
coat and purse was found on the
banks of the Potomac near Great
Falls. ...
Miss Brashears, who had worked
at the Patent Office for many
years, left 1896 in a local bank
and had accumulated salary of
$77.77 due her since her disap-
pearance. Attorney Joseph H.
Bait, who represents the mother,
asks that a receiver he onooipted
to collect and conserve the estate.

FATHER D|CKERS
WITH K|DNAPER

CHICAGO, April II QN.SO.
Open police activity ceased today
while the distracted father of f.
year-old Richard Max Perrot
negotiated with a purported kid
naper for his sons release.
After announcing that he had
received a demand for ransom
the father, Max, hurried away
on his second mysterious mission
in "a hours only to return at
midnight to announce that he
had not made further contact
with the kidnaper.
Mr.. Perrot refused to discuss
the ransom demand and would
not disclose how communication
was made with the abductor. He
said he was assured the child was
alive and we'll.
A widespread search by police
and several thousands of vigil
antes was called off in an effort
to aid Perrot'S negotiations.
The missing child, mute since
birth, vanished one week ago in
the company of a tall, thin"
man believed to have been a de-
generate. Police expressed the
theory that the ransom demand
came to the kidnaper as an after

CONTACT MAN

International News Service
With the critical period of the
session approaching, President
Roosevelt has named a contact
man" to deal with the House.
The contact man" is former
Representative Charles West of
Ohio, now special administrative
assistant to the governor of the
Farm Credit Administration.
The President is said to have
invoked the aid of Mr.. West at
the behest of some House leaders
as the best means of having a
constant contact with the White
House.
Mr.. West, who left the House
last year to seek the Democratic
senatorial nomination in Ohio, is
regarded highly by the Admin
istration and by Congress. He is
slated for a place on the proposed
social security board.
In naming him, Mr.. Roosevelt
is following precedent. During
the Hoover Administration, former
Representative Walton Newton of
Minnesota, was named a White
House secretary. He was specifi-
cally designated as a contact man
with Congress and the executive
departments.
During President Coolidge's Ad-
ministration, Secretary Everett
Sanders, also former Represen-
tative, kept the President in

Dust Storm DarkenS
Northwest Louisiana

SHREVEPORT, La, April II
U.N.SO-The swirling dust storm
that has held the wheat belt in a
strong grip for several days
reached into Louisiana today.
Sweeping in from Texas this
morning, the dust cloud virtually
obscured the sun, grounding planes
and making highway traffic diff,
cult.
The dust storm, said to be the
worst in the history of this section,
was general throughout north
western Louisiana, extending as
far east as Monroe. approximately
10 miles from here.
1t was feared the strawberry
crop and other early crops would
suffer severe damage.

DESOLATED
Southwest Kansas Is Center
Of MenaCing Phenomena;
Damage Staggering
BY JAMES L. KILGALLEN

News Service)

GARDEN CITY, Kan, April II
lU.N.S0. - Thirty-six consecutive
hours of darkness. A dust storm
raging. Virtually everything at
Btandstill.
Picture that and you have the
situation today in Southwestern
Kansas, center of "the worst dust
storm" of the year.
Over seven States the black
clouds of flying dust boiled today,
relentleSsly adding to the stagger-
Ing losses through livestock and
crop damage in Colorado, Kansas,
Oklahoma, Iowa, Texas and Ne
braska.
People who live in New York
Or in California, or in many other
places not hit by this compare
lively new and menacing phenom-
ena, have no idea what these re-
curing dust storms, which are
running farmers in this area, are
like.
Midnight Darkness
It's amazing, almost unbeliev-
able. Midnight darkness at 10 a.
m. Men and women wearing nose
and mouth masks. Traffic stopped
cold. Motor cars stalled. Rail
road trains blocked. Airplanes
grounded. Schools closed. Bust
ness limping along.
Bright electric signs in this
town of 5000 persons can barely
by seen across the street as a top
soil blizzard whips acres of dirt
particles in the air and swirls
them across the countryside, add.
ing to the havoc already wrought.
Motor cars move at a snail's
pace.
Farm land has been desolated.
Farmers have had to abandon
their property or have been forced
to dig in" until conditions be-
come normal.
Storm Gets Worse
Arriving at Garden City. not
far from the Colorado border,
semidarkness had fallen. The
storm was acting up and steadily
grew worse. A trip by motor car
Is miles into the country re-
vealed a scene of desolation and
disclosed how hard the farmers
had been hit. Many farms have
been abandoned. 80
I came back to this town to find
1t in darkness and business at
standstill. The Negro elevator
boy, taking me up to my room,
wore mask to protect him from
the ravages of the dust. They
talk a lot about lung dust" in
this region.
Telegraph and telephone lines
hummed with messages from per-
sons stalled in the dust storm
area. They were wiring and
telephoning anxious relatives at
home.
The attitude of the farmers
themselves is the one bright spot
in the picture. Although they
have been hard hit financially and
are in a tough spot because of the
recurring storms they are facing
the future courageously. They
say they will hang on"
