SECOND SEARCH FOR DIRIGIBLE PROVESFUTILE Norwegian Flier Returns From Long Trip Over Arctic Wastes. BY LARS HANSEN Alternate Navigator of the Italia (Copyright, 1928, by the United Press) ABOARD STEAMSHIP HOBBY, OFF SPITZBERGEN, June 7. Lieut. Luetzow Holm’s second airplane search for the crew of the lost polar dirigible Italia was fruitless. The Norwegian flier returned to the Hobby today after flying over KWaers Bay, Wood Bay and the interior of the island, as well as over the expanses of ice between Mossel Island and Spitzbergen. Though visibility was excellent, Lieutenant Holm saw no sign of the lost or their airship. Lieutenant Holm expressed doubt that the Italia ever would be sighted on Mossel Island, which is small and scarcely eighteen feet above sea level. It was in the Mossel Island vicinity that the Italia last radioed to the world. We took aboard today the Italian Alpine chasseurs whom the Citta di Milano disembarked to search the island and who were missing for eight days with only seven days’ food. The chausseurs will be landed again on the Friesland Coast for another search. The Hobby is heading for Mossel Bay, where Lieutenant Holm will take off for a third search flight. This time he will reconnoiter over Wiejde Bay and western Friesland. Packed ice has forced the rescue steamship Braganza to turn back at North Cape. She will make for the Henlopen strait and steam southward toward Kings Bay. Reports Clew by Radio By United Press NORTH WALES. Pa., June 7. Albert L. Byler, radio amateur, said he picked up a message today which he believed was from Gen. Umberto Nobile, giving the position of the lost North Pole dirigible Italia. The message, which was in English, read: “Rush assistance. Position 84, 15, 10 north; 15, 20, 40 east. Very cold and worried.” “NOBILE.” The position given is about 300 miles north of Spitzbergen.

SHOALS VETO LIMITIS NEAR Last Day for Coolidge to Sign Power Measure. Itil United Press * WASHINGTON, June 7.—Today is the last day for President Coolidge to veto or sign the Muscle Shoals bill for Government operation of the wartime nitrate plant in Alabama. If he fails to act by midnight the bill will, in his judgment and that of the justice department, have a “pocket veto” status, while proponents of the measure declare it automatically will be a law. Ten days (excepting Sundays), have elapsed since Congress sent the passed bill to the President. It has never been established by the United States Supreme Court whether a bill not acted on after the long session of Congress automatically dies or becomes law. It is freely predicted a test will be made in this case. There was little indication at the White House today that Mr. Coolidge would sign the measure. URGES SCHOOL AID Leslie Addresses Rotarians at Bloomington. By Times Hyeeinl BLOOMINGTON, Ind., June 7. Plea for the State to give more support to educational institutions was sounded Wednesday by Harry G. Leslie, Republican candidate for Governor, in an address before the local Rotary Club. Roy P. Wisehart. State superintendent of public instruction, also spoke. Leslie declared there is no conflict between the State universities “All are doing a different work and each is working in cooperation with the other,” he said. “It is an. imperative fact that these schools ne;d more money with which to carry on their work and it is a shame that their tremendous services are not fully appreciated by the citizens of Indiana. “It is unthinkable that the Stats should not want the highest class of teachers, engineers, agriculturists, doctors and dentists and these schools deserve better treatment from the State.” H.

Doggone! Wabash Terrier Missing After Long List of. Troubles.

TTirABASH, Ind.,, June 7. Y ’ Hardships which most dogs have to go through are nothing in the life of a small terrier, owned by W. R. Reed here. Reed said the dog either carries a charm or has nine lives. But, anyway, the dog has led a real dog's life. Not so long ago, Reed and the dog went walking. As they crossed the Ferry St. bridge", the overenthusiastic dog fell over the bridge and into the creek, a distance of twenty feet. Reed climbed down to the bank and pulled the limp and unconscious terrier from the stream. * A day or so later, while following its master around the golf course, the dog was hit squarely on the head with a golf ball, blinding it in one eye.. Not long after that one of Reed’s drives hit a telephone pole about the same distance that it hit the dog and put a mark on the pole. Then the dog tried to bite an electric wire into at his home ajad barely escaped being electrocuted. Now the dog is lost.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

DISAVOW PLAN FOR EXTENSIVE WIREJAPPINO Dry Czar Says Practice Will Be Used Only in Conspiracy Cases. BY RAY TUCKER WASHINGTON, June 7.—Treasury officials today disavowed any intention of tapping telephone wires on a large scale to enforce the dry laws, even though such methods are legal under the Supreme Court decisions. “There will be no general snooping on the wire,” said Seymour L. Lowman, dry czar. “We will use it only in the case of tremendous conspiracies, as we have in the past. It will be resorted to only when we have direct evidence of such a conspiracy, and then only as a last resort. It will not be used for the purpose' of obtaining tips regarding bootleggers or buyers.” Despite Lowman’s restriction of the use of telephone snoopers, it is expected there will be a demand for legislation barring such enforcement activities. This is all the more probable because the Supreme Court, though finding wire tapping lawful, virtually invited Congress to amend the legal code to prevent it. Will Introduce Bill Representative John J. Boylan of New York, said he would introduce a measure to outlaw such practices. “Such underhand use of the law’s protection,” he said, “might easily lead to terroristic methods in the hands of an indiscreet official. This savors more of Moscow than the United States. One of the first duties of the next Congress should be to bar wire tapping of any Jcind. “We will find whether, besides permitting the poisoning of alcohol and employment of criminals as dry agents, the professional prohibitionists will sanction this invasion of the home. “The one consoling thing about the decision is it may convince millions that the dry laws are undermining the Constitution and the vary foundations on which our country stands.” Many other members also took the. same position, and there will probbaly be a barrage of bills directed against the decision next December. Charge Illegal Conspiracy The majority opinion of the court was that the Fourth Amendment to the Constitution gave protection only to material things, and that a telephone installed for projection of the voice outside the home did not enjoy privilege status. The five taking this view applied the amendment's terms literally. Justice Brandeis, as the spokesman for four dissenters, argued against the Government resorting to an illegal conspiracy in an attempt to defeat another illegal conspiracy. Justice Holmes took this same view. Justice Butler pointed out that the telephone's present use places it in the same category as papers, person, property and other privileged matter. BUILD NEW FORD HERE Mayor, Realtors Greet First Product After Plant Is Reopened. Mayor L. Ert Slack and Emerson W. Chaille and J.
