 Hoover said finders killed his ac- complice Gray during an argument over the ransom money.
 Another Kidnapping
 Hoover also said finders confess ed to the Kidnapping of John Borgia and his wife Olivia in Chicago robbing one Minnesota and three Wisconsin banks. The BrogiaS were released without any ransom be- ing paid.
 When finders was arrested last Friday, a week ago today, at the Santa Anita race track in Cali fornia, he possessed about $14,000 Hoover said an additional $30,000 was found hidden in Minnesota woods.
 Robbed in N. Y.

 The bodies of Ross and Gray, the latter nude, were found just before dark yesterday. Small brush concealed the cave in desolate section, 12 miles north of Spooner, Wisconsin.

By PRESTON GROVER

WASHINGTON, Jan. 21. = Thi! little playlet is entitled Much Ado Abut Nothing, or A Day In the Life of Filibuster."
 Scene: The Senate chamber. A dozen Senators are sitting about, maybe two dozen at times, some lis tening, some drowsing, some sign ing letters, some just sitting. The Senate is debating the anti-lynch bill.
 Red-and-w -white-w -whiskered Sena- tor Lewis of Illinois has just pro- posed to remove paragraph which exempts gangsters and labor dem- onstrators from the grip of the bill The argument seems to be that the bill exempts gangsters or labor dem- onstrators without the need of say ing so in special paragraph.

 Senator Lewis: MT President, have moved to strike out of the bill the provision I have read, touching the question of exempting gangsters from the provisions of the bill, and also those involved in labor disputes
 Senator Barkley of Kentucky: T do not believe there has been any criticism of the wording which would eliminate labor disputes"
 Senator Lewis: MT President I am pleased to inform the disting- uished leader, the Senator from Kentucky, that I am informed by the Senator from New York (Mr Wagner) that upon information from sources, it is both desired and consented to that this reference to labor disputes be eliminated. I do not know for whom he speaks, but of course, I take his word"

 Lewis: T have none of that oc- cult power to detect such influences. am compelled to say my infor- nation is from the two Senators MT. Van Nuys of Indiana and MT. Wagner of New York, whom, as- sume, have had their information from proper and legitimate source"

RHODODENDRON EXPECTED
TO Be in BLOOM JULY |
Extensive Growth Noted In
Many Places In The County

The rhododendron growth in this
entire area is expected to be in bloom
about July 1, and will be viewed in ali
its beauty for the week or ten days
following by hundreds who motor over
the country roads and through the
forest lands.
The deep recesses of the forest, an
acid soil, cold mountain streams and
rock lodges are favored by this plant.
There is an extensive growth along
Poplar Lick, Big Run and the Saw
age River, also at Swallow Falls, Lost
Land Run and in the Potomac State
Forest. Some of these displays of this
wild flower rival any to be found in
the American forests.
Motorists who care to visit Garrett
county and view the blooming plant
can take almost any route, as most
of the points where the flower can be
seen are accessible by good roads thru
the State Forests. Picnic shelters and
other facilities are at scattered points.
In the Savage River forest there is a
large rustic pavilion and forest en-
ployes will direct autoists to the vari-
Gus points.
Visitors to the forests are being
warned not to pluck the growth or any
other wild Towering plants, in viola
ton of the State forestry laws.
All during June, mountain laurel
has been in bloom, both pink and
white. AS the laurel fades the rhodo-
dendron takes its place.
