ARCTIC DEATH TALE CLOUDED 'BYNEWDOUBT Ship Physician Contradicts Starvation Story of Two Survivors. WEAK PAIR PLUNDERED? Italian Wears Clothes of Swedish Professor Who Died on Ice. By EUGENE LYONS United Press Staff Correspondent MOSCOW, July 23.—Further mystery regarding the march across the polar ice of Prof. Finn Malmgren ’ and his two companions of the dirigible Italia was provided today by a dispatch to the newspaper Vecherny Moskwa from its correspondent aboard the Russian rescue ship. Krassin. The story is unconfirmed. It is carried by the newspaper without comment. Captain Adalberto Mariano and Capt. Filippo Zappi of the Italia , were rescued from an ice floe by the Krassin. They reported that in trying to make land they had left Malmgren, the Italia’s meteorologist, alone on the ice to die, when he could advance no further. They said also they had been without food for two weeks. The Vecherny Moskwa correspondent quoted the Krassin’s physician as saying that Mariano and Zappi had not been without food for more than five days. Zappi, the correspondent said, was wearing Malmgren’s clothes when he was rescued. It was added that Zappi wore three coats, one Malmgren’s, and had had on three pairs of fur boots, while Mariano, whose legs were frozen, lay on the ice scantily clad and wearing thin socks. Mariano, the correspondent asserted, expected to die, and had given Zappi permission to eat his body. The mystery of Malmgren’s death, the correspondent said, continued greatly to excite the crew of the Krassin and the other survivors of the Italia, who were rescued from an ice floe camp which Malmgren, Zappi and Mariano had left to try to reach land. Professor Samoilovich, in charge of rescue work aboard the Krassin, radioed the relief commission here today that he had visited Gen. Umberto Nobile, the Italia’s commander, at Kings Bay—where the Krassin now is—and found him in bed because of a broken leg. Nobile seemed nerve-broken and depressed, Samilovich said, but was eager to partake in further rescue work rather than to return to Rome. Mussolini Orders Inquiry ROME. July 23.—Stung by worldwide criticisms of the flight of the Polar dirigible Italia, Premier Benito Mussolini today replied to criticism and incidentally revealed his intention to hold a complete investigation of the disaster. The inquiry will be held in Italy by Italians, Mussolini said, after all ’ humanly possible search is made for further survivors of the wrecked ship. Mussolini’s statement was made at a cabinet meeting. With reference to hints that an investigation of the Italia might be held in some Scandinavian country, Mussolini said. “Such a hypothesis is absurd and offensive. If any proposal is made to hold an investigation abroad, it will be rejected immediately.” One of Crew Succumbs By United Press KINGS BAY, Spitzbergen, July 23.—One of the sixteen men rescued from the bitterly cold Arctic region has died aboard the steamer Citta di Milano, it was understood here today although there was no official confirmation. The greatest secrecy prevailed about the ship and there was no discussion of the death. The most seriously injured member of that rescued group—the group composed of survivors of the dirigible Italia crash, or parties that set out in search for the lost craft—- * was Captain Adalberto Mariano. Train Not to Stop Eh United Press STOCKHOLM, Sweden, July 23. Rescued members of the dirigible Italia probably will make no stop as they swing through Norway on their trip from Kings Bay to Italy, it became known today. The station master at Navrik told the United Press “the Nobile Hearty will be transported across Sweden in a special Italian car attached to a Swedish train, halting nowhere en route.” It was indicated the car probably would be sealed.

POLICE AND FEDERAL DRY SQUAD START CITY RAIDS WITH THIRTY WARRANTS
Hotel Bed Slats Fall; Plot Feared by Heflin Bp Times Special ASBURY PARK, N. J„ July 23.—Senator Thomas J. Heflin of Alabama, making a speaking tour against Governor Smith, dislodged three slats in his bed last night and called the hotel office to have them replaced. “Send a trustworthy man,” the Senator told the office. An assistant treasurer of the hotel appeared. “How do I know you are the man sent up by the clerk? My life has been threatened in letters from Catholics and I do not intend to take chances with you, sir. I'm going to lock this door a minute now and telephone the clerk and if he identifies you properly, I’ll let you in.” He locked the door, called the clerk and received the assistant treasurer’s description. Then he opened the door slightly, carefully inspected the treasurer and finally admitted him. The assistant treasurer could not repair the bed himself and called a carpenter. The Alabama went through a similar inspection with the carpenter and finally the bed was repaired.
CONFER TONIGHT OVERJOSPITAL Health Board, Council Will Discuss Consultant. Selection of a consultant for the city hospital building program will be discussed tonight at a conference of councilmen, health board members and Mayor L. Ert Slack. The meeting was called by City Council Finance Chairman Edward W. Harris following introduction of a $60,000 bond issue ordinance last week. The ordinance was for funds for architect and engineering fees for four new units. Harris refused to recommend suspension of rules on the ordinance to rush the program because the board had not chosen a consultant. Council passed a resolution a month ago authorizing the board to select an architect and engineer, leaving the consultant to the board’s pleasure. Slack said Dr. William Walsh, who conducted a hospitalization survey for the Indianapolis Foundation, had been mentioned in connection with the city program. The health board decided to ask council for a 11.7 cent levy for 1929, 9.5 for the general fund, 1% for the school health program and .7 for tuberculosis work. Last year the general levy was 8.5 cents and the school health IV4 cents. INDIANA WOMAN SLAIN AT ASHELEY (PA.) HOME Husband of Former Gladice Gifford, Kokomo, Held.

STEPHENSON BALKED IN ATTEMPT TO STOP SUIT
Bx\) United Press LA PORTE, Ind., July 23.—Counsel for D. C. Stephenson, former Grand Dragon of the Indiana KuKlux Klan, was unsuccessful today in an attempt to withdraw suddenly a mandamus suit which would order officials of the Indiana State prison at Michigan City to permit Stephenson’s attorneys to confer with him privately. Attorney General Arthur L. Gilliom successfully opposed the surprise move and obtained a continuation of the hearing on the suit until Thursday. The change of front by Robert H. Moore, Stephenson attorney, will not affect his intention to examine the former Klan leader at a public hearing Tuesday, Gilliom said. The attorney general invited newspapermen to be present at the hearing and said Stephenson would have an opportunity to say anything he wishes.^ Moore, explaining his reason for wishing to withdraw the mandamus suit said he had conferred with Stephenson at the prison Friday. Pointing out that Warden Walter H. Daly and other prison officers apparently have taken a more favorable attitude, he said he did not

TAKE NO ACTION OVER SHUMAKER
Question of Serving Term or Appeal Still in Air.
Headquarters committee of the Indiana Anti-Saloon League met again today and adjourned without deciding whether Dr. E. S, Shumaker, league superintendent, shall accept the $250 fine and sixty-day Indiana State Farm sentence imposed by State Supreme Court or carry the battle to United States Court. The committee, including four Indianapolis ministers and Bishop H. H. Fout of the United Brethren Church, met with Shumaker at his office for more than an hour and then departed. Shumaker sent out a message through League attorney A. E. Miles that there would be “not a word,” and that the committee would meet again soon. Shumaker put the decision as to his future course up to the committee Saturday after Supreme Court Friday had affirmed his conviction on a contempt charge. Earlier in the day Shumaker had stated that he would not ask Governor Ed Jackson for executive clemency, but if the Governor extended it he would accept it John Bingham, Sr., Shumaker’s attorney, said he believed the Governor had the right to parole of pardon the superintendent. Other lawyers have declared they do not believe the Governor has such power in a contempt case. Blown Into River, Man Drowns POINT DONAHUE, Md., July 23. Edwin B.

The attorney general informed Jude John C. Richter that he believed the public interest aroused by the mandamus suit demanded that a hearing be held.
Trout Diet Palls on Cals Guards
BY ROBERT MOOREFIELD ISLAND LODGE, Wis., July 23. —Consider the plight of the presidential secret service men who are fed Brule River trout regularly, and yet must shove venison on the hoof from their paths at the summer White House. Sunday, while President Coolidge and his family attended the little wooden church at Brule the secret service men held an unofficial indignation meeting outside the church. Trout is all right, they agreed, until it becomes a steady diet. The whole trouble, they agree, is that President Coolidge has become too good a fisherman. The President, they explained, prefers steak to fish, but likes to fish. Coolidge economy, however, dictates utilization of each trout pulled from the Brule. Thus the secret service men find fish on their

MEXICO DOWS AT GRAVE OF SLAINLEADER Sonora Receives Back Its Foremost Son, Pays Last Honors. 10,000 AT OBREGON BIER Speech by Governor Only Ceremony as Gun Victim Is Laid at Rest. BY JACQUES D’ARMAND United Press Special Correspondent (Copyright. 1928, by United Press) NAVOJOA, Sonora, Mexico, July 23.—Sonora today claimed for her own the body of her foremost son. Caravans of Mexican peons and patricians, Indians and white men wended their day through the brown hills of Mexico from the tomb where lay the body of Gen. Alvaro Obregon, and left to the people of this iittle agricultural valley their intimate memories of a national leader. In the dark of Saturday night the former president and president-elect of Mexico, vicitm of an assassin’s bullet, was placed in the crypt while 10,000 people from all ranks of life stood in silence. Speech Only Ceremony No religious services marked the final tributes to the “strong man of Mexico,” for General Obregon so had requested. A speech by Governor Saenz was the only ceremony. He paid highest tribute to the man who had risen from railroad laborer to the foremost position in this southern republic. Old servants of the Obregon family stood shoulder to shoulder with members of the Mexican aristocracy under the low hanging stars of the desert night as they buried their leader. There was utter silence as people of three races bowed at the bier. Then the modulated voice of the gogvemor welled out through the night and Into the hills that the dead leader had loved. Wealth of Flowers The Sabbath sun revealed the tomb piled high with floral tributes. The special trafn which brought the body of General Obregon from Mexico City contained five carloads of flowers when it arrived at the family home at Huatabampo. The train reached Navojoa early Saturday. As the cars rolled through the hills they passed over rails held down by spikes which General Obregon had driven while he worked as a section hand. Saturday at 5 p. m. the train started the final stage of the journey to Huatabampo, where the widow and family of the slain general live. The public was not allowed to view the body. Navojoa was filled with persons who had come from far and near to pay their homage to General Obregon. Village Is Crowded Every hotel room was occupied and residents of this village threw open their homes to those strangers who had been summoned by bonds of love and respect to the bier of the foremost son of the state of Sonora. By noon Saturday five special trains and one military train with a guard of honor had arrived. As the brief services were concluded, the thousands turned from the tomb toward their homes. Some walked. Others traveled on ' horses and burros. Many automobiles of finest make and others that were old and worn by long miles through desert sands and over rocky hills carried the mourners. And over the caravans whirled airplanes, rushing visitors back to the United States. The tomb where the body reposes was designed by General Obregon in 1922. It is situated in an attractive little valley, which is well cultivated by the peasantry who were the neighbors of Alvaro Obregon. All about are the brown hills.

menu day after day, and what they can not use is turned over to the chef who prepares meals for the personal servants of the Coolidge household. a a a aaa THE secret service men agreed that fish would not be as unsatisfying were it not for the fact that Cedar Island Lodge is located in a private game preserve. As though to tantalize the fish-jaded appetites of the men, deer roam the woodland at will, knowing that they are immune. Recently Richard Jervis, head of the secret service men, collided with a deer in front of his tent, while others of the guard report that they have been forced to prod deer from their paths in order to pass. Two years of protection have tamed the animals. But Sunday was a gala day at the odge. President Coolidge does not fish on the Sabbath, and the secret service men ate chicken.

FRENCH FLIER READY TO HOP FROMAZORES Refuels Plane for Second Stage of Round Trip to New York. BERMUDA IS NEXT STOP Engine Trouble Reported in Sea Craft’s Flight From Brest to Isle. By PEGGY WARD I'nited Press Special Correspondent HORTA, Azores, July 23.—Intent on making the first round-trip airplane flight across the Atlantic, Lieut. Paulin Louis Jerome Paris, of the French navy, arrived here at 2:20 a. m. today and began almost immediately to re/iel his seaplane. La Fregate, for the next stage of his flight to New York. Paris, Mechanic Marot and Radio Operator Cadou started from Brest Harbor Sunday, and made the flight to Horba harbor in a little more than fourteen hours. It was clepu’ this morning and the sea was calm, when out of a bank of clouds, on the horizon sped La Fregate, white and black painted and looking like a giant Dird even more than do most airplanes. Boat Waited for Plane. Sunday night the Ville D’Ys, in expectation of La Fregate's arrival, had moored outside the breakwater so that it could aid Paris to find the harbor. The ship was brilliantly illuminated, and played her searchlights into the sky. From the breakwater a handful of enthusiastic townsfolk cheered the La Fregate as it descended. They had been awaiting the plane all night. With them were Capt. Frank T. Courtney and E. B. Hosmer, wealthy Canadians, waiting here to resume their seaplane flight to New York. There was a rumor here that the La Fregate experienced engine trouble on its way across, and arrived with but one of its two motors functioning. This could not be confirmed, as Paris and his companions went at once aboard the Ville D'Ys to rest and could not be reached. Two hours after their arrival mechanics were refueling the plane. Go by Way of Bermuda It Is believed here that the biplane will resume its fight as soon as weather conditions are good, and will go, as had been planned, by way of Bermuda, where another French gunboat is waiting as a base ship. The young Frenchman, who did not start flying until 1921, but who has made a memorable record since that time, maintained his planned sped of better than 115 miles an hour. It was highly probable that Paris would attempt a non-stop flight back to France—he has been given permission so to do by the ministry of marine—after he lands in the United States. Flying Mate Lost The French ministry of marine is backing the present flight. Originally it had been planned to send two seaplanes, the second to be commanded by Commandant Rene Guilbaud. The latter pilot, however was sent north to the relief of stranded members of the dirigible Italia, end now is lost and unheard from with the Roald Amundsen expedition. Paris had made careful preparations, taking his machine on several test flights over France. When he received favorable reports yesterday afternoon, he immediately ordered his plane fueled, appeared at the plane in his white navy flying costume, received an official farewell from Vice Admiral Vavassuer, and set forth on the great voyage. Sends Radio Messages He flew steadily and regularly made reports of the success of the flight. The messages were laconic—merely stating all was well and that good speed forward was being made. The entire flight from Brest to the United States will be about 4,450 miles. Paris’ plane—a seaplane of the biplane model—has eight gasoline tanks in which can be carried 5,308 litres of petrol. The tanks are placed under the wings. Carries Automatic Radio It has two radios, using the call letters FMGP, which in the air have a radius of 800 kilometers and stationary 400 kilometers. One radio sends automatic signals every 15 minutes, while the other sends the signals every hour. The former is on a 600 and 900 meter wave length, the latter on 44 and 24 meter wave lengths.
