LOWJ PLANE HOP IN HISTORY SLATEDJULT2I At Least 15 Ships to Try in Race From Detroit for $25,000. Bu Bcrlptft-H award newspaper Alliance WASHINGTON, June 2. The longest air race In history, and doubtless the most thrilling and important one on the 1930 race calendar, will start 'rom Detroit, July 21, or as soon thereafter as the weather permits. It is called the All-America Flying Derby, and the 7,500-mile course will take the racers into Canada, twice across the United States, and down to Mexico City. A prize of $25,000 has been put up by American Cirrus Engines, Inc., and the only two stipulations are that planes must use Cirrus motors and that there must be at least fifteen entries to start the race. More han fifteen planes already have been entered. Hawks to Referee Major Luke Cristopher of the National Aeronautic Association end Captain Frank Hawks, famous transcontinental flier, will act as referees, and in two fast planes will push ahead of the racers so that one of them will be at each overnight point when the contestants arrive. Cristopher soon will start a pathflnding tour over the entire route. No. 1 pilot in the race will be Lee Gehlbach, who for two years was a member of the army’s famous First pursuit group. He will fly a specially built Command-Aire low-wing monoplane. Tex Rankin of Portland, Ore., has asked for No. 13. Among the prominent manufacturers who have decided to enter planes are Cessna, Command-Aire, Emsco, Mercury, Avian, Buhl, Mohawk, Swallow and Great Lakes. There will be in the race a parasol monoplane, the conventional biplane, high and low-winged monoplanes and multi-motored planes of both the monoplane and biplane type. Development Is Slow Airplane designers and manufacturers expect the race to add greatly to the store of knowledge in the aviation field. Development of the Jow-powered light airplane in this country has been slow, and right now the government is trying to encourage and foster the development of small motors and planes. According to Captain Hawks, the chief factor in determining the winner will be the skill of designers in fashioning planes around one of the three motors manufactured by American Cirrus. Most of the planes in the race will be especially designed for the motor they are to carry. The route of the long contest extends from Detroit to Montreal, New York, Baltimore. Atlanta, Shreveport, Houston, Laredo, Monterey, Mexico City, Dallas, El Paso, Phoenix, Los Angeles, Salt Lake City, Cheyenne, Omaha, Chicago and Detroit. The route will be covered in less than ten days.

POOLS OF BLOOD P. 1 CLEWS IN DEATH

Spot of Slaying Believed Found; Woman Linked to Mystery. (Continued From Page 1 Speedway races in the infield Friday. Description of Schroeder, gathered today by Sheriff Winkler from five persons who talked to him at the races, tallies exactly w’ith that of the “hitch-hiker'’ picked up on the Rockville road near the High School road and near the burning automobile early Saturday morning by Jack Allen of Clayton, and Miss Ruby Blue, 715 North Delaware street. Together with the claim the charred body is too small for that of Schroeder, who weighs 175 to 180 pounds, the descriptions given by witnesses today convinced Sheriff Winkler and Coroner C. H. Keever that Schroeder was alive after the fire started and left the scene. Woman Drawn Into Mystery The “hitch hiker” picked up Miss Blue and Allen rode to Senate avenue and Washington street, and then leaped from the car and hurried north. Over his arm he carried an Indian blanket identical in description with one in Schroeder’s car at the Speedway and with one he carried in his automobile when he left his home at Mobile, Ala., May 21 for a busienss trip north.

Information from Mobile that Schroeder had clandestine meetings with an Indianapolis woman who was visiting in Mobile and that she could not now be located there, caused authorities to believe she had left Mobile With him. That she might establish identity of the torch murder victim was belief of authorities. Sheriff George Winkler planned to leave tonight for Mobile to investigate the case there. Extent of Schroeder’s insurance and its status could not be learned. He is married and father of two children. A $lO,000 accident insurance policy, a premium receipt for which was found in the pocket of his coat, lying ten feet away from the blazing car, is made payable to his wife. Wise Has Not Replied Telegraphed of the finding of the body at that time believed that of her husband, the wife did not reply and has not communicated with Indianapolis authorities. Fred C. Foutts, 15 East Sixteenth street; his wife, Mrs. Rosetta E. Peterson; James Peterson and Ernest Mitchborn. Speedway race spectators, told Sheriff Winkler today that Schroeder’s car was parked next to the one they occupied at the races Friday. Schroeder ate lunch with them. He wore a black raincoat to protect himself against the chill wind and it bore the initials H. H. S. He was in good spirits and chatted of his trip from the south, saying he and his wife planned to take their two children on a trip to California when school dismissed. Description of his clothing, the rain coat, the blanket he used over his radiator, his personal appearance and his drawling speech corresponds exactly with that given by Allen and Miss Blue of the man they

picked up near the burning car early Saturday and brought into the city. Schroeder was alone at the races, the five told Sheriff Winkler. A gasoline can, similar to that found a quarter of a mile from the burning car. was in Schroeder’s machine at the races, they said. A brown wrist watch and a woman’s compact were found near the burned car and underwear buttons also are held as clews. The fivegallon can half full of gasoline was found in weeds half a mile away. A scrap of greenish-brown trouser cloth found in the burned car does not correspond with any clothing owned by Schroeder, his wife told Mobile authorities. Schroeder operates an automobile radiator business at Mobile. His parents, Mr. and Mrs. E. W. Schroeder. reside at Clarion, la., where two of his three brothers also reside. He also has five sisters. Silent on Shooting Conscious at intervals following an operation at the St. Vincent’s hospital, Ralph Patterson, 21, of 1125 Olive street, who was shot in the abdomen early Saturday, refused to reveal details of the shooting. He declares to police he does not know his assailant. The only story given by him of the shooting was that “a man tried to force me into an auto, I guess he shot me.” Police say Patterson was arrested several months ago in connection with hi-jacking and bootlegging activities. A man known as a south side bootlegger is sought by police *or questioning in the shooting case. , Patterson’s condition continued critical early today. Physicians said t here is little hope for his recovery, the bullet having penetrated his kidneys and intestines.

Vote ‘Scandal ’ Rabbits Found in Ballot Box as Conjurers Hold Election.

Bu United Press CHICAGO, June 2.—ls rabbits, handcuffs and pots of flowers pulled from a silk hat can be considered as ballots, then James C. Wobensmith, Philadelphia, was in office today as president of the Society of American Magicians. The society, after two days in convention, held its election of officers Sunday night and just to prove to each other that for once there would be no “funny business” the members voted with coats off and sieves rolled up. But something went amiss, for out of the silk hat where 350 ballots had been placed came all the odds and ends of flora and fauna and trinkets that magicians can conjure up out of thin air. This assortment of objects was taken as proof that Wobensmith had been chosen president, Eugene Laurant, Chicago, and C. Elliott Smith, Detroit, vice-presi-dents; Royal L. Vilas, New Haven, Conn., secretary, and Harry Rouclere, New York, treasurer. When a recount was demanded the ballot box had disappeared.
