Solution of Rnnsom Money, Lindbergh Case, Is Only T'vo
 Fifths Solued; Suppositions

NEW YORK, March 4.--Up to last Saturday night, three years and one day after the actual kid naping, the ransom phase in the Lindbergh case, is only two-fifths solved
 Of the ss5O,O0O paid by Col Charles A. Lindbergh to the ran som collector in the Bronx ceme- tery on April 2, 1892, only $19,715 have been accounted for.
 Various theories have been ad- vanced as to where the other $30,- 285 are.
 The most general theory is the money is still hidden somewhere Others believe the money has ac- tually been placed in circulation.
 Federal Reserve Bank officials declare that it is impossible because close watch was kept for the ransom bills.

Gold Strike Reported by
 Government
Scraps Dug Up from Old Trinket Boxes and
 Sent to Mint

WASHINGTON, March 4.--The biggest gold strike of last year, the Government discloses, was in old trinket boxes where Americans keep the family valuables.
 Since the Government revalued gold at $35 an ounce, the mint revealed that so many old rings, watch chains and watches poured in that the traffic in scrap gold arose from relative obscurity to big business.
 Last year the scrap gold minted passed the hundred million dollar mark with old watches leading the list.
 One Kentucky Derby cup went to the mint, but the year and the owner of the cup is withheld.

FREMONT OLDER DIES SUDDENLY,
 WHEEL OF AUTO
As Editor of San Francisco Newspaper, He Fought
 Long for T. Mooney

SAN FRANCISCO, Cal, March 4.-Fremont Older, aged 78 years, editor of the San Francisco Call Bulletin, noted champion of the cause of Tom Mooney, convicted of the Preparedness Day Parade bombing in 1916, collapsed at the wheel of his automobile and died at Stockton, Sunday, where he had taken his wife and a friend to a flower show. He had been active for more than 50 years in newspaper work
 Against Death Penalty
 Editor Older was lifelong op- ponent of capital punishment.
 Besides using his pen to voice his protests against that method of expiating crime, he was active in moves designed to abolish the death penalty in California.
 One of these attempts in which MT. Older was leader, was a 24- hour protest meeting in San Fran cisco in 1913. Advocates of abolish ing the death penalty in the state met in continuous session of speech-making.
 That meeting had one good result MT. Older said, discussing the gathering some time later. "A man was sent to witness an execu- tion at San Quentin penitentiary. As the trap was sprung he ex- claimed I protest in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ"

Twenty-two bombing planes have taken off from Athens to bomb warships which put to sea under rebel officers.
 March on Saloniki
 Loyal troops in Eastern Mace donia marched on ancient Saloniki, one of the oldest battlefields in the world.
 The Government is preparing an expedition to Crete to wage fight to the finish with rebels who have taken possession of the en- tire island.
 Mobilization Orders
 Athens is stirred to a fever pitch as the Army classes of 1882 and 1883 have been called to the col- ors by mobilization orders. Hun- dreds of volunteers are enrolling hourly.
 Battleships In Action
 Seven battleships, partially dis abled by mutineers, who fled from the Salamis arsenal, have been hurriedly repaired and are now ready to go into action in the de- fense of the Government of Pre- mier Panayoti Thaldris.
 To Engage Rebels
 It is widely rumored that the Governments fleet will go forth at once and force a naval engage ment. with four warships still in the hands of the rebels.

 However, the hitch is that there is no legal way that part of a state can secede.
 Circulators of the petition said there is strong belief here that the western portion of South Da- kota has received unfair treatment in the matter of taxes and roads. This belief has been responsible for the secession move.
