PLANES HUNT EXPLORERS IN ORANDCANYON Missing Married Couple Are Believed Stranded on Rock Ledge. Bu United Press FLAGSTAFF, Ariz., Dec. 19. Three army airplanes roared over the Grand Canyon of the Colorado today in the search for Mr. and Mrs. Glenn R. Hyde, amateur explorers of Hansen, Idaho, who left Green river, Utah, two months ago for a trip through the mile-deep gorge. Two of the planes left March Field, Riverside, yesterday to follow the Colorado river north from Needles. Cal., to Las Vegas, Nev. The third a tri-motored army plane from Grand Canyon, Ariz., Tuesday joined the search starting from the upper reaches of the river. Indians were reported leaving their villages to thread the narrow trails on the river’s edge at the bottom of the canyon. Robert C. Francy and Jack Harbin, of Grand Canyon, yesterday launched a small boat into the swift waters to shoot the rapids as far as Needles in search of the missing couple. A second boat probably will follow today. Hyde and his wife left Green River, Utah, on Oct. 20 on a vacation trip that would take them through the canyon as far as Needles, which they expected to reach not later than Dec. 11. It is feared that the frail craft was broken up on the rocks and the couple was drowned or that they are stranded on a ledge and facing starvation. Report Long Earth Shock DENVER.

PHONE TOLLS TO STOP WOMEN’S TALK DENIED Condition No Different Since Merger, Commissioner Rules. Because the Southern Indiana Telephone Company knew how the women talk, Commissioner Harvey Harmon of the public service commission Tuesday denied a petition for toll rates between the Holland

Telephone Company and exchanges at Jasper, Ireland, Haysville, Schnellville, St. Anthony, Birdseye and Ferdinand recently merged. The company based its petition on the grounds that women were using the lines for “purposeless visiting.” Ellis said in his order that the situation has not changed from the time the merger was made and therefore the company knew’ about it and the no-toll service must continue.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

COOLIDGE ACTS TO KEEP DOWN U. S. EXPENSES • T Kills Rivers anti Harbors Bill, Blocks Postal . Measures. WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.—President Coolidge has taken definite steps to prevent congress from making appropriations that will add to an estimated deficit of $18,000,000, it was learned today. Besides intervening to kill the $48,000,000 rivers and harbors bill pending before the house, the President is said to have taken precautions to prevent action on several postal bills that would have required expenditures. For a week the house postoffice committee has been unable to meet and report out the Mead-La Follette bill providing a forty-four-hour week for postal employes. Despite a petition for a meeting signed by a majority of the committee, including Repbulicans and Democrats, Acting Chairman Saunders of New York has declined to issue the call. A special rule may be required to bring the measure up this session, and it is not expected house leaders would favor this action. Saunders admitted that Coolidge's economy warning might be the reason for his course, thoughhe would not admit that the Preffldent had intervened. He suggested that committee members carry their complaint to Majority Leader Tilson, but the latter said he would not interfere with the program of a committee chairman, meaning Saunders. The rivers and harbors committee declined at first to accept the presidential order to kill their bill, and delegated Chairman Dempsey to canvass the sentiment of house leaders. They turned thumbs down on the proposition to defy Coolidge by passing the measure.

RECORD ‘DOPE’ HAUL MADE IN PROBETRING’ $4,000,000 Allotment Is Seized in New York by Officers. Bu United Press NEW YORK, Dec. 19.—Charles H. Tuttle, federal district attorney, revealed late Tuesday night that $4,000,000 in drugs, described as the largest allotment in history, had been seized here. Tuttle immediately announced he would go before the grand jury today and seek an indictment against a man named “Klein,” believed to be Joseph Unger, now in Tombs prison here, on a charge of placing $2,000,000 w’orth of narcotics on board a train bound for Chicago recently. Boxes Marked ‘Brushes’ The drugs, packed in boxes marked “brushes,” were seized at Pier 2, Jersey City, by Gregory O’Keefe, special agent for liquor seizures. O’Keefe found five cases and opened one which contained 1,000 ounces of cocaine. The other cases will be opened today. The drugs, Tuttle said, were shipped from France and arrived Friday on the French liner Rochambeau. The Rochambeau docked at West Fifteenth street, Manhattan, and the drugs then were taken across the Hudson river to the Jersey City pier for shipment to Philadelphia, the federal attorney said. Tuttle said arrangements for the drug shipment had been made by “Klein.” Unger, who will be arraigned today in federal court in connection, with the $2,000,000 drug shipment, l has used Klein as an alias. New' York Clearing Port Tuesday’s 'seizure, Tuttle said, bore out his suspicion that an in-
