M. White went out of control while traveling at a rate of more than three miles a minute. The huge black machine, bounding off the course at darling speed and with a tremendous roar, also caused the death of Charles R. Traub, Pathe news cameraman, who had been photographing the speed trial.

Races Are Cancelled Bible was attempting to regain for America the automobile speed record. Major H. O. D. Segrave, the British driver, who set anew record of 231.36 mlies an hour over the Daytona Beach course Monday, was among the thousands of spectators along the course, but was too far from the scene of the crash to witness it. Val Haresnape, secretary of the American Automobile Association, said that the Daytona Beach racing meet, scheduled to continue to March 17, would be suspended because of the accident. White, owner of the Triplex, indicated he would abandon automobile racing. . . ... , „ The accident was not visible from the stands, where Bible’s wife, who had followed his career as a dirt track racing driver and later as a mechanic and garage proprietor, had been watching the tests. But from a loud-speaker suspended overhead the words of an announcer, getting his information from the mile-post stations along the course, told what was happening. Leaves Two Children “The Triplex is now in the measured mile,” came the announcer’s voice. “He’s going like hell!” A pause. “Something has happened—he’s turned over!” “The car is a total wreck!” Then—- “ Bible is dead.” Mrs. Bible’s scream brought friends hurrying to her side. Bible was 42 years old. He left tw r o children, a boy and girl. Traub was one of the star men of the Pathe organization and came here after photographing safety tests on the submarine S-4 off the Florida coast. RUNAWAYS ARE FOUND

RULE RAILWAY BUY ISTRUSr Big Eastern Lines Are Told to Return Wheeling Road. IS a United Press WASHINGTON, March 14.—The eastern railway merger situation was complicated further today by an interstate commerce commission ruling that three large trunk lines violated the Clayton anti-trust act in purchasing the Wheeling & Lake Erie railway without commission approval. Competition between the trunk lines, the New York Central, Baltimore & Ohio and Nickel Plate, .substantially has been lessened by the acquisition, the commission sain. An order was issued directing the trunk lines to dispose of their Wheeling stock within the next ninety days. Two of the roads, the B. & O. and Central, recently sold tlieir interest to the Van Sveringen interests who have ask 2d the commission for permission to consolidate the Wheeling with their other properties in a four system plan. Commenting on. reports of the sale, the commission said this transaction could have no weight in the present proceedings. This was taken to mean the Nickel Plate, a Van Sweringen property, also would have to dispose of its Wheeling holdings. If the commission eventually approves of the Van Sweringen’s petition to buy the Wheeling, the Nickel Plate stock then would be re-purchased.

DENIES FEUD LEADS 10 ELSIE JANiS’ ILLNESS Recovery of Actress Depends oil Whether Shf Relaxes, Sleeps. ISil United Press PARIS, March 14.—Recovery of E;sie Janis, American stage star, depends to a large extend on her ability to relax and sleep, it was understood today. The actress’ four doctors and three nurses said she had been getting little rest and was spending sleepless nights. Mrs. Janis, the actress’ mother, denied reports that a supposed feud with Mistinguette, French actress whose place she took ,in the latest Moulin Rouge revue, had aggravated her condition. The mother said Mistinguette was a daily caller. Mistinguette was in a front row box when Miss Janis made her first appearance in the revue, and the same evening the audience howled, stamped their feet and "'histled. Miss Janis rebuked them good naturedly and the occurrence was not repeated. It was denied at the time that Mistinguette had anything to do with the demonstration. Some quarters attributed it to the management of a rival theater.

CONGRESS MAY PROBE SPIES IN U. Atlanta Warden’s Case Is j Near Climax; Threatens to Resign. BY PAUL R, MALLON United Press Staff Correspondent. WASHINGTON, March 14.—The ;py system in federal prisons may oe subjected to a congressional investigation at the coming special session of congress, authorities in ■both houses indicated today as the case of Warden John Shook of Atlanta penitentiary neared a climax. The system was started by Mrs. Mabel Walker Willebrandt, assistant attorney-general, as an aid to prohibition enforcement, j The practice is to have a secret I operative of the department coni victed in court on a trumped-up charge so he may be sent to the penitentiary. While there he works with the .justice department over the warden’s head, giving information not only concerning prison conditions but also about the news of the criminal world inside prison walls. Senators and representatives who have protested against the system have been met, they say, with the statement of the justice department that continuance of the espionage practice is essential. Senator William Borah of Idaho, leading campaigner for President Herbert Hoover, is to see AttorneyGeneral William Mitchell today about the Snook case. Snook wrote a letter to the department announcing if the practice is continued the . letter could be considered his resignation as warden in Atlanta, if the department continues its attitude the matter may later be taken to .Hoover. About 45,000 carloads of fruits and vegetables are shipped into New York City annuallly.

2 11- ilillP Indiana Mother Proves Claim Children don’t ordinarily take to medicines, but here’s one that all of them love. Perhaps it shouldn’t be called a medicine at all. It’s more like a rich, concentrated food. It’s pure, wholesome, sweet tc the taste and sweet in your child’s little stomach. It builds up and strengthens weak, puny, underweight children, makes them eat heartily, brings the roses back to their cheeks, makes them playful, energetic, full of life. And no bilious, headachy, constipated, feverish, fretful baby or child ever failed to respond to the gentle influence of California Fig Syrup on their little bowels. It starts lazy bowels quick, cleans them cut thoroughly, tones and strengthens them so they continue to act normally, of their own accord. Millions of mothers know about California Fig Syrup from experience. An Indiana mother Mrs. Walter White, 1218 Cottage Ave., Indianapolis, says: “California Fig Syrup is certainly all that’s claimed for it.. I have proved that with my little son, Walter. He was a bottle baby and very delicate. His bowels were weak. I tried a lot of things with him for nearly two years, but nothing helped him until I began giving him California Fig Syrup a little while ago. It regulated him quick, strengthened him and started him to picking up weight. Since then he hasn't varied a half-pound from the average weight for his height.” Don’t be. imposed on. See that the Fig Syrup you buy bears the name “California” so you'll get the genuine, famous for 50 years.—Advertisement.
