It was not known definitely whether Amundsen and his French companions—for Guilbaud carried a crew—intended to halt at Kings Bay or fly direct to the Northeast land ice on which Gen. Umberto Nobile and five men of the Italia’s crew are drifting. Since then there have te=n reports, of mysterious origin, that Amundsen had passed Green Harbor, Spitsbergen; that he had landed near General Nobile, and that he had located three men of the Italia’s crew of sixteen who were walking over the ice toward Northeastland. Then today there came a report to a Stockholm newspaper that Amundsen was down, like Nobile, in the Polar Sea—but in the sea in his plane, between ice floes that would threaten momentarily to crush Into splinters the frail craft.

Ind., June 20. —Three men and their wives today face charges of conspiracy to. riot following a “white cap” attack Monday night upon Warren Hamm and his brother William. Objections to Warren’s conduct of his family affairs was the motive for the attack. Both the brothers suffered severe head wounds. Warren has a gash an inch and a half long on the skull and William a wound of the same nature two inches long. These accused, Mr. and Mrs. Guy Livingston, Mr. and Mrs. Darling Gromer and Mr. and Mrs. Charles Sutton, entered pleas of not guilty when arraigned in police court today. Declared Unjust* fled Sheriff W. S. Curry of Monroe County declared today there was no justification for the attack on the Hamms. He said Warren's wife for some time had been suffering from mental trouble and had threatened the life of her 2-months-old baby. The father took it to the home of relatives near Spencer, while two other children, 2 and 5 years old, remained in the home. Removal of the baby from the home was objected to by the “whitecapping” party. The attackers arrived at the Warren Hamm home in an automobile, the women clad in overalls. All wore handkerchief masks. Hamm was called into the yard of his home and told by a spokesman for the party that he must bring his baby back. Tears Away Masks Without, answering, Hamm snatched handerchiefs from the faces of two of the party, and then the driver of the car struck him wth a club. William Hamm, who lives nearby came to his brother’s aid and was also struck. When police arrived the brothers were lying on beds in Warren's home. Both suffered from loss of blood, but their injuries are not believed dangerous. The assailants fled. A crowd of one hundred gathered at the attack scene and an argument over the affair led to a fight in which Ethelbert Wilkerson was stabbed in the abdomen with a pocket knife, said to have been wielded • John Fulford, who also struck V verson on the head with a small wagon belonging to one of Fulford's children.

AL SMITH FOES RALLY TO FRAY; SEEK CANDIDATE

Senator George, Native Son of Georgia, Held Mos*t Likely Leader. BY PAUL R. MALLON United Press Staff Correspondent HOUSTON, Texas, June 20.—The anti-Smith groups here are trying to line up an allied phalanx to contest the nomination of Governor Alfred E. Smith like the Watson-Lowden-Goff-Curtis allies fought the nomination of Herbert Hoover at Kansas City. Senator Walter F. George, Georgia’s native son candidate, was sought today to head the movement, and the forces of Cordell Hull of Tennessee, Senator James A. Reed of Missouri, Evans Woollen of Indiana, and Representative Ayers of Kansas, were being asked to join the group. Fail to Agree There was no indication that the movement would be any more successful than the anti-Hoover allies were at Kansas City. The allies here face all the difficulties which beset the anti-Hoover allies, and then some. First and foremost, they have not yet been able to single out any one candidate. George is considered by those most interested in the matter as the most available man to head the movement, but George can expect no support from the Reed or Woollen forces. The Hull forces do not seem to care for Reed, and the Reed forces have no desire to desert their candidate. No definite work will be undertaken toward organizing the allies until George arrives late in the week. Hull arrived Tuesday, but would not discuss his candidacy. No Headquarters Open George R. Van Namee, pre-con-vention manager for Smith, was to come in with a vanguard of his brown derby battalion from New York this afternoon. His advance men, who arrived said Van Namee expected to remain several days before opening headquarters. None of the headquarters have been opened yet, although delegates are arriving on every' train. A Reed-for-President publicity bureau has been opened In the hotel by Reed's manager, Frank J. Prince. His headquarters, however, will not be opened for several days. Reed was expected to arrive Thursday. CALL FOR WARSHIP TO SUBDUE STOWAWAYS Steamship With 600 Passengers Sends Call for Help.

FLED CITY IN FRIGHT, YOUTH SAYS Man Hunt Ends With Arrest in Telegraph' Office; Detective Leaves With Warrant and Extradition Papers. , Two shots of Indianapolis bootleg liquor led to the wild ride in which Mrs. Pearl Jarboe, 24, waitress, 614 E.

On the day this thing happened I went over to the restaurant and another waitress that I knew walked up to me and suggested that I take this new blond home in my car. “The blond seconded the motionI didn’t see anything wrong with it, because she seemed to be a good kid. “So I went over and got in my car and she followed me. I suggested that we go to a bootleg joint and get a couple of drinks. ‘'After two shots of liquor we left the place and I decided we would drive to a beer joint just outside the city limits of Indianapolis. “While we were on our way out there the girl decided she didn’t want to go and told me to take her home. But the two drinks I had had convinced me we ought to go to the beer place, and I insisted. “She told me that if I didn't let her out she would jump o*it. I thought she was kidding. Claims Woman Jumped "T was driving about thiry-flve miles an hour. She opened the door like as if to jump and I still thought she was bluffing. She jumped. “I guess she landed right on her head on the pavement. I looked back and thought I saw her getting up. I was hind of scared so I stepped on the gas and beat it for home. “That, night I worried about it and decided to leave town the next day. “When I got. up and saw the morning paper telling about the girl being seriously injured and the police searching for an automobile Just like mine. I left immediately.” Denies Arranging Date Mrs. Leon Head, the other waitress at the Peterman restaurant, denied having arranged the date between Skeen and Mrs. Jarboe. “He had eaten a late breakfast and came in about 1 that afternoon and bought a ‘coke,’” said Mrs. Head. “He asked me to go out with him that afternoon and I refused. I said: ‘l’m married and don’t do things like that.’ “Then he asked me to call Pearl, who was in the back. I called her. but I don’t know what he said to her.” Boast Is Charged According to Captain Shinn, local police learned shortly after the woman’s death that Skeen was the man they sought. He is said to have boasted that he pushed a woman from his car and sent her to the hospital. Shinn joined the search by making a trip to the home of the youth’s grandfather near Versailles, Ind. He learned there that he might be at Madison, Ind. A trip to Madison brought Shinn the information that Skeen had fled to Denver. He later learned that he was to keep an appointment there, using the name Carl Miekell. Thought He Was Wanted Confronting him at Denver, Capt. Albert T. Clark, detective chief of the Denver police force, said, “Skeen, you’re wanted for murder,” and the reply was reported as being, “I thought so.” Witnesses had told police that they saw the woman pushed from the car, which was moving rapidly, by a man who cursed as he shoved her through the door. Her skull was fractured and she never regained consciousness.
