hNTAGES TO I | SEEK RETRIAL Motion For New Trial Will Be Made Before Judge Fricke Friday I.oA Angele*, Oct. 29. —(U.R)—Alexlader Pantages today planned to use lh e jurors who convicted him of stacking Eunice Pringle, a 17-year-n|,) dancer, in an attempt to gain a Dew trial. It was reported he will subpoena lhP seven women and five men in an pffort to show that some irregularity jecurred during their deliberations. T ho procedure is expected to be started when his motion for a new trial is made before Superior Judge Chari'* Fricke Friday. The court will set a date for hearing of arguments and the jurors are expected to be called at that time. it was reported that Deputy Sheriff Hazel Brown, in charge of the women jurors, was called into the jury room to help re-enact the alleged attack during the deliberations an d it was believed that Pantages may question the action. Pantages protested last night that he was ill and wanted to be removed to the county jail hospital but after examination showed that he merely "bordered on collapse" he was returned to his cell. The theater magnate, whose face never changed during the weeks of his trial or when he was decdared guilty, wept yesterday when his children visited him in the jail. So longer the nattily garbed theater veteran, but only “Los Angeles County 119-251. Tank 10-8-1" Pantages had been fingerprited, photographed for the rogue’s gallery and garbed in | a blue denim uniform just before the I visit. The interview was private and what passed between the multi-mil- | lionaire, his daughter, Carmen, and his sons, Rodney and Lloyd, was not ■ known. Ju other conversations, however, Pantages maintained that he had been “framed" by Miss Pringle, a tool in the hands of persons seeking to obtain part of the $20,000,000 he obtained through sale of hie theaters. It was learned today that the conviction had complicated the condition of Mrs. Pantages, who suffered a nervous collapse several weeks ago after she was convicted of manslaughter in the death of Juro Kokojnote, a Japanese gardener. Physicians denied her life was endangered. ■ O 1 LLOYD SOMERS, LOCAL DOCTOR’S BROTHER, KILLER tcoiVTiNt’RD rnow rtGB ovtti Josephine First of Liberty Center, Wells county.

From that time it had not been traced. The plane's scheduled arrival time at Albuquerque was 11:15 a. m. yesterday. It took off on its regular flight to the New Mexico city from Los Angeles at 5 a. m. The terrain between Adamana and Albuquerque, some 160 miles, is mountainous and dotted with craters of extinct volcanoes. Landing, except on one of the few level mesas scattered throughout the area, would be extremely perilous, those acquainted with the country said. If it followed the charted air line, the plane would have passed to the north of Lava Flow, the Zuni Indian reservation, and old crater, one of the many volcanic remains. North of the route lie Coyote and Craco canyons and Mt. Taylor, where the T. A. T. plane crashed. Western Air Express officials pointed out that Mt. Taylor is a considerable distance east of Adamana and that there was no reason to believe the plane was in the region where the T. A. T- disaster occurred. "Should this by any chance be an accident,” air line officials said, “it will be our first mishap of any size in 3,200,000 miles of flying.’’ Search in Navajo county was directed by Sheriff C. O. Divelbess of. Holbrook, which is west of Adamana. He said some of the most rugged country in the west is found in this territory and that if the plane had fallen it might be days before its fate is known. Few roads traverse the land along the air route and only a few settlers live in the region, he said. Sheriff L. H. Hall of Apache county, in which Adamana is located, was summoned last night from St. Johns, more than 50 miles south of the pane's route, to take charge of the search for the missing liner in his territory. Weather Waa Good Los Angeles, Calif., Oct. 29—(UP)— The missing western air express plane took off from Los Angeles at 5 A. M. Friday in the face of perfect weather forecast, it was said here today.

As soon as word of the plight of the Wisconsin became known, the Illinois went to the rescue. Scenes paralleling major shipwrecks at sea, were enacted on the tempestuous waters surrounding the Wisconsin. Boats on the coast guard swayed to wave crests and then plunged to the bottom of deep troughs while the men from the sinking ship took to lifeboats or plunged into the lake in lifebelts. • In the darkness, shouts of rescuers and the guardsmen rose above the roar of the storm and the crashing of the waves as contact was established. One lifeboat, loaded with 15 men, capsized. Two were seized by the coast guard crew. The others were swept out of sight and call, probably to their death. Log of Ship Chicago, Oct. 29. —(U.R)—Events in the rescue today of the crews and passengers of the steamer Wisconsin followed each other with a rapidity made possible only through the radio. 1:30 a m.—Alert radio operators in i Chicago picked up SOS messages from steamer Wisconsin, sinking off coast at Kenosha. 2:15 —“Due to sink anytime now, for God's sake send help,” operator on Wisconsin messaged. 2:17 —Boat operator assured rescue was on way. 3:00—SOS! SOS! SOS! 3:50 — Wisconsin reports coast guard crews approaching. 4:05 —“Coast guards can do nothing. Are larger boats coming?” 4:08 —"Tug boats coming — we’ll make it yet.” Elmer Webster, Chicago operator, messaged to the Wisconsin. 4:20 —Tug Butterfield gives up attempt to reach the Wisconsin. 4:3o—Pere Marquette ferry reported off Milwaukee, steaming to sinking ship. 4:32 —-“Abandoning ship: can’t stay any longer. Thanks. / Won't forget “MODERNK ONJOLA RELIEVED ME OF KIDNEY TROUBLE" Rheumatism and Neuritis Are Also l Quickly 1 . Banished By Famous Remedy MRS. DELILAH SHANNON “For a long time I suffered with kidney trouble,” said Mrs. Delilah Shannon. 1626 Holliday street, Indianapolis, Ind. “My ankles swelled to twice their size; my back ached constantly and there were awful pains in my limbs. Rheumatism and neuritis settled in my shoulders and arms and they were stiff and sore. The pains didn’t leave me at night and I would lay awake because of them. "I had heard and read a lot about Konjoia and felt that it must have some merit to warrant all the praise it was given. I used seven bottles and it relieved me of all my health troubles. My kidneys never cause me the least bit of suffering. My ankles never swell and the backache is gone. Rheumatism and neuritis have been driven from my body. I sleep well at night and feel refreshed the next morning. Konjoia proved to me that it is a medicine of merit and I praise it highly.” Konjoia is sold in Decatur at the Smith, Yager & Falk drug store, and by all the best druggists in all towns throughout this entire section. Colds are serious. Even mild cases are dangerous. Remember KONJOLA COLD COMPOUND (tablets) Is giving amazing relief to thousands of cold sufferers every year. These tablets are of the same high quality as Konjoia.
