LOS ANGELES JOINS HUNT FOR FLIERS Newfoundland 'Clew’ Fails to Aid Searchers for Frenchmen. MAY BE IN LABRADOR Yankee Airmen All Set for Paris Hop. Bn United Press The UnitecK States Navy diiigibt Los Angeles left Lakehurst at 4:10 a. m. today, eastern standard time, for a iliglit op the seaeoast In search of Charles Nungesser and Francois Coli, missing French aviators. The dirigible was expected to northward for several hours, Bbut was under orders to return to Lakehurst tonight. The Los Angeles encountered heavy fog over Davis bank, east of Nantucket, at 9 a. m. Eastern standard time, she reported to the Navy Nepartment. The dirigible was on a course west by south. The radio station at Lakehurst picked up the following message from the dirigible this morning: “Position one mile north of Nantucket lightship; searched on line from Point Pleasant to this point. “Will continue search generally northward over Phelps Bank and Davis Bank. Visibility very good.” Hope Plane in Labrador With experts advancing a theory that Nungesser and Coli may have turned over Labrador, the Navy department today was hopeful the missing French aviators may be safe. If the fliers are in Labrador, however, weeks may pass before they get to civilization, as the country is wild and thinly populated. The theory is based on the assumption that the flight was not interrupted by engine trouble and that the course followed was the one mapped out at first. Weather report shows the aviators would have struck a storm center moving northward across their course, and might have turned north onto Labrador to avoid it. Despite statements of several persons that an airplane was heard over Newfoundland Monday phiorning, no trace of the Been found there today. President Coolidge sent a message today to President Gaston Doumergue of France, expressing Amer-* ican sympathy over the fate of Nungesser and Coli.

Looks Like Kaee “It the Bellanca starts you'll see me right on its tail,” Lindbergh announced. “What’s the use of being second?” queried Bertaud of the Bellanca when lie was asked what would happen should Lindbergh take to the air first. Officially. Commander Byrd's giant Fokker plane was described as requiring another week before it would ne ready, but none of the aviators ®or their backers would believe that Byrd planned to remain on the ground and see the others soar away.

Affidavits charging several persons with criminal acts disclosed by the grand jury investigation of Indiana political corruption, were being prepared today under the'direction of Prosecutor William H. Remy and special prosecutors John W. Holtzman and Emsley W. Johnson. The prosecutors refused to state when they would file the affidavits ordered by Criminal Court Judge James A. Collins when he .discharged the grand jury after finding James E. Armitage guilty of contempt of court for an attempt to bribe Grand Juror Claude A. Achey to vote against indictment of Mayor Duvall.

The letter, written by Duvall, was his second to the judge on the political corruption investigation. It attacked Special Prose<flitor Johnson. “Th<s matters referred to in the letter of the mayor were not properly a subject of correspondence,” Collins stated. “It has never been, and never will be, the practic of this court to administer the criminal laws of the State by correspondence.” Collins would comment no further than his statement. He was on the bench when Buser came into court and both men laughed aloud when the mayor’s representative handed Collins the letter. Accused Prosecutor Duvall’s first letter attacked Remy. He charged the prosecutor with being involved in a conspiracy to “ruin” him and asked a special grand jury session so that certain information he had might be laid before "the proper investigating group.” Judge Collins, then told the mayor anew jury will be Impanelled the first Monday of July and he should present his evidence to it. Johnson was on the park board with Frank P. Manley and Albert McGuire, ■against whom charges of mismanagement were filed by Alvah J. Rucker, former corporation counsel, on order of the mayor. This occurred after a several week’s fight when the board refused to resign. Although charges were not filed against Johnson, he resigned.

TED TIED? TICKLISH, BUT TRUE Law Pro Tem. Samuel Hears $25 Call of Chicago Scion. “Sure they’re married. I’ve a SI,OOO bond posted with the county clerk and I was appointed ’justice pro tem.' by Justice of the Peace Edward L. Dietz, who is overworked. If the ‘vaccination’ t;*kes, what difference does it make who married ’em? I’ve married folks with Ohio licenses, Kentucky licenses and Illinois licenses and they're tied up tight.” But to'make {loubly certain that they are married legally, Mr. and Mrs. Ellsworth (Ted) Wilt, Chicago, were to have a Louisville judge, justice or preacher repeat the oath of matrimony today that was given in the wee morning hours by Isidor VVulfson, who was "lawed out of a job” the first of the year, but who insists that his reappointment ‘pro tem.’ makes his marriages just as binding as marriage could be. ' $25 Extra Wulfson, with *25 extra today ns the result of his 2 a. m. officiating at the runaway marriage of Miss Ruth Louise Nettlehorst, 18. daughter of Louis Nettlehorst. Cook County (111.) clerk, and Wilt, 25, son of a millionaire trunk manufacturer, on the Illinois Athletic Club Special, Louisville . bound, declared today that he would | not get up again at that hour of j'the morning for “three times that j fee.” Wilt had given him only a | $lO bill, while his friends contribi uted sls “to the cause.”

Called Four Times “They had to call me four times to get me,” Wulfson said. ”1 thought It was a joke and three times refused to go to the Derby special at the Union Station to marry ’em. But the fourth call I told whoever tt was that I would go if they would have a taxicab in froftt of the house to take me there and bring me back. They did.” Justice Dietz asserted he had appointed Wulfson to act in several cases pending in his court and had authorized him to marry the couple, who had raised the ire of the bride's fAther. “Interesting" John L. Nillack, deputy prosecutor, remarked that Wulfson’s action was “interesting,” hut said he believed he had authority. His office plans no investigation. “If they gotten me to marry them they would have found some one else ” was Wultson’s, view. Miss ch&iteroited by her sistef Charlotte, boarded the Athletic Club special train and met Wilt. They planned to marry, and Wilt had obtained ar. Illinois license. There was parental objection in Chicago and the ceremony had not been performed when the train pulled out. SIGNS BRIDGE CONTRACT Vandagrifft Changes Mind About Morris St. Span Repair.

more than a year ago. Since that time, all my experience has more and more confirmed me In the absolute conviction that any community that really desires better city government has the best chance of getting It' under the city manager plan. It goes without saying, that any community can get substantially the kind o£_ government it really wants, but it is much easier to * get that kind of government under city manager plan than under the old-fashioned plan of making a popularly elected official the chief executive of the city. “There can be no question but that the result of a political primary to secure the nomination . and election to secure the office is inevitably a great mass of po ■ litical obligations and limitations which defeat the elected official before he has even entered office.”

Justice Seudder ordered they be electrocuted at Sing Sing Prison the week of June 20. The suburban housewife and corset salesman, caught up in an Illicit romance that shattered two homes, they were straining and tense as Justice Seudder pronounced the doomsday words as follows: “Tiie judgment of the court is that you, Ruth Snyder, for the murder in the first degree of Albert Snyder, whereof you are convicted, he. and you hereby are, ■entered to tho punishment of death; and it Is ordered that, within ten days after this day’s session of court, the sheriff of file county of Queens deliver you, together with the warrant of this court, to the agent and warden of the State prison of the State of New York, at Sing Sing, where, you shall lie kept in solitary confinement until file week beginning Monday, the 20fh day of June, 1927, and upon some day within the week so appointed, tho said agent and warden of tho State prison of the State of New York,' at Sing Sing, is commanded to execute and to do execution upon you, Ruth Snyder, in the mode and manner prescribed by tho laws of tiie State of New Y'ork He repeated the same formula in sentencing Gray.
