YOUTH SOUGHT IN SLAYING OF RICH MOTHER Quarrel Over Gambling Debts Believed to Hatfe Led to Crime. Bu United Press CHICAGO. Aug. 24.—Every known acquaintance of Harry Hill, suspected of killing his wealthy mother in Streator, 111., was under police surveillance today as additional circumstantial evidence was revealed tending to link the youth with the crimr. Detectives advanced the possibility that Hill had committed suicide by jumping into Lake Michigan when he learned yesterday afternoon that his mother’s body had been found buried under the floor of the cellar of her home in Streator, 111., one of the show places of the town. A warrant formally charging young Hill with the slaying was issued tod a” by State’s Attorney Russell Hanson of La Salle County. From evidence gathered by investigators in Streator, Hanson today advanced this theory of the shooting. Quarreled Over Money “Hill and his mother had been quarreling about money matters. “We know of five checks, amounting to between $250 and $l5O each, on which Harry either forged his mother’s name or signed them ‘per Harry Hill.’ They were cashed between July 22 and Aug. 13. “On the latter date, Hill registered at a hotel and stayed there two days. It is probable the shooting was committed a day or two before that time. “The slayer evidently waited until Mrs Hill had gone into the basement of her home. As she ascended the stairs to the first floor, according to indications, the slayer fired a shot from behind which struck her behind the ear. The bullet lodged in the wall but had been removed. Burled Under Foot “Then the body was dragged acrow the cellar into a remote corner and buried. “Hill stayed around town a few days and then left for Chicago. He told every one who questioned him, including Alice Sawyer, whom he was to have married next month, that his mother was out of town.” While evidence was being gathered against his son, Dr. H. C. Hill, divorced husband of the dead woman, employed two attorneys to assure Harry of a fair trial if he is captured. Known as “The Fish” Tire boy, whose habitual gambling losses earned him the title of "The Fish,” is known to have spent Monday night with a friend in Chicago. Since then a city-wide dragnet has failed to divylge his whereabouts. Another theory was drawn from the remarks of William Brydges, the friend at whose home Hill stayed. Brydges told police Hill had said his mother threatened to disinherit 'him because of a proposed marriage. His father, a 'prominent physician, is said to have in-

terceded recently when the youth was threatened with prosecution for cashing forged checks. Two of the checks, one for S4OO and another for $1,200, were forged on Mrs. Hill's name, it is said. Woman Executive Discovery of the body was not made until a week after death because of the eccentricities of the woman. Until questioned by his father as to her whereabouts, young Hill had proceeded with the tenor of his ways. The physician, becoming uneasy by the evasive answers he received, sought police aid. With Dr. G. A. Bicus, a professional associate, and police, Dr. Hill entered the home. In the cellar they found a pile of bricks, which the physician sgid had never been there before. Digging into the loose earth beneath it, the body was found, face downward, with the arms crossed over the back, dressed in an apronlike gingham dress.

RECLAMATION IS DEFENDED Jardine Charge Expected By Interior Department. Times Washington Bureau. ISti A’et o York Avenue WASHINGTON, Aug. 24.-Instead of resenting remarks that Secretary ol Agriculture Jardine has been making against reclamation: work and irrigation farms, officials of the Department of the Interior say that they expected them. One official declared Secretary Jardine was playing to the farmers of the Middle West and East when he said money should no longer be spent in reclaiming arid lands. “Reclamation is not subsidizing the irrigation farmer,” said P. W. Dent, acting reclamation commissioner. “It is developing desert lands so that they will produce crops. “Irrigation farming is more expensive than ordinary farming and those raising crops on reclamation projects enjoy no advantages over the farmsers of the Middle West and East, who live on land made tillable by nature rather than artificial means.” Dr. Hubert Work, Secretary of Interior, says the Interior Department is not seeking to promote any new reclamation projects, but is anxious to complete those it has already started. This completion work will take ten years.
