FIGHTING SHIPS FIRST ‘ON LINE’ AT AIR RACES Cleveland Gazes Skyward as Hundreds of Planes Swoop on City. BRITISH ACE IN CRASH Atcherley Wrecks Craft in Tests for Featured Stunt Acts. BY LEO BARON Unltfd Preat Staff Correipondrnt CLEVELAND, Aug. 29.—The drone of airplanes streaking through the early morning skies today sounded an overture to the aerial composition that will be written during the next ten days of the national air races. Around the boundaries of Cleveland airport—largest commercial landing field in the world—were rows of trim fighting craft from the army, navy and marine fleets, lying snugly at anchor. ' Their numbers were being increased steadily as other planes dropped from the skies, singly and in groups, to rest beside them waiting for the signal that will send them aloft for the opening maneuvers this afternoon. The aerial pageant, described by its sponsors as the greatest ever prepared, has attracted many of the world’s renowned fliers. From Europe came Captain Boleslaw Orlinski of Poland, Flight Commander Richard L. R. Atcherley of England, Lieutenant Colonel Mario De Bernardi of Italy, Captain Ernst Udet of Germany and Major Alois Kubita of Czecho-Slovakia. Atcherley Is Injured America’s representatives will include such familiar personages as Lieutenant A1 Williams, Jimmy Doolittle, Captain Frank Hawks, Wiley Post, Harold Gatty, Russell Boardman and John Polando. The opening ceremony was somewhat marred by the absence of Atcherley, the British ace, who suffered injuries late Friday when his fleet scout plane cracked up during a landing. In taking off for a test flight, a strut on the landing gear snapped, throwing the plane over on its nose as it settled down for the landing. Fourteen stitches were required to close the deep gash over the pilot’s eye and forehead, but attending physicians said the wound was not serious. The plane, a Blackburn Lincokck single-seater of British design, virtually was wrecked and can not be mended in time for its scheduled performance as a member of the international team, commanded by Williams. Promise Another Ship Race officials, however, promised Atcherly another ship should he recover from his injuries in time. Airport officials and police were prepared to handle 100,000 spectators at the opening performance this afternoon of the eleventh annual classic which will be repeated in Cleveland for the next four years. Following the Plain Dealer flower pageant parade, which terminates at the airport, nearly 100 army, navy and marine planes will scurry skyward for tactical maneuvers and a bid in traditional < rivalry for the gallery's acclaim. The army’s winged division was represented by its crack first pursuit group from Selfridge field, Michigan. The navy sent its famed Schiff trophy winners, the “Striking Eagles,” from Hampton Roads, Va.. and the marines’ colors were borne by a crack squadron from Quantico. Derbyitcs to Arrive Only two competitive events were scheduled for the day—a civilian acrobatic exhibition and a parachute jumping contest. The second day of the races has been designated all-Ohio day and will be featured by the arrival of the transcontinental handicap derby which has been in progress a week, starting from Santa Monica, Cal. On Monday, eight fliers will soar away from Los Angeles for Cleveland In the Bendix trophy speed dash. Fifteen thousand dollars repose at the finish line for the winner of this event, which may be made non-stop or with fuel halts along the route. Head for Indiana By United Pres* EAST ST.

PRISON PAY CUT PLAN EJECTED Trustees Vote, 3-1, Against Moorman Proposal. By United Press MICHIGAN CITY, Ind., Aug. 29. —Trustees of the Indiana state prison, by a 3-to-l vote, today rejected the proposal of John Moorman, Knox, that salaries of all prison employes be reduced. Moorman cast the only vote in favor of his proposal. Michael Foley, Indianapolis, asserted that facts, as presented in Moorman’s resolution, did not warrant a salary reduction. He answered Moorman’s contention that a tax reduction was necessary in the state by saying that the amount saved in cutting prison employes’ pay would be negligible. It was pointed out that the average wage of a majority of prison workers is $132 a month. “To lower this pay would destroy their morale,” said Foley.

Vft United Press LONDON, Aug. 29.—The “imaginary estate” racket was bared by United States Ambassador Charles G. Dawes today. Dawes, in a statement to the press, said that “one of the singular effects of the world depression is shown in the embassy correspondence which reveals an increase in the number of Americans duped by blackleg lawyers into contributing money to prosecute alleged claims on imaginary estates in England.” “Any American who, without preliminary investigation, sends money to a stranger to use in establishing a claim on a supposed estate in England is a double-distilled fool and an ass.” WAR MOTHER IS DEAD Succumbs on Ship, Returning From Gold Star Tour. 8# United Press ABOARD THE S.

LAKE COUNTY SLAYER WILL BE DEPORTED Central Figure in Parole Scandal to Be Pushed Out of Country. IGNORE CAPONE RUMORS Trustees Fail to Quiz Killer on Story of Carousals While at Liberty. By Times Special MICHIGAN CITY, Ind., Aug. 29. —Avoiding all questioning of Nick Sudovich, Lake county slayer, racketeer, and public enemy as to his boasts of spending a thirty-day parole with his overlord, A1 Capone, state prison trustees have ordered his immediate parole for deportation, instead of waiting until November when his minimum term expires. Prison trustees declared they were not interested in the charges that Sudovich, obtaining a temporary parole of 15 days* for the avowed purpose of winding up “important private business,” pending his deportation in November, asked for and was granted an extention of 15 days to carouse with Capone in Michigan resorts and hotels. But that the trustees are cognizant of the affair was indicated when Michael E. Foley, Indianapolis member, told Sudovich: “There is no ned of keeping you here any longer at the expense of the state. You have failed to live up to American ideals, so you wlil have to leave.” Sentenced as Slayer Capone’s vice regent in Lake county is under a two ;o twentyone years sentence in the state penitentiary for the slaying of Uron Marovich, member of another beer and vice racket, who was acting as a government informer. While in the state prison he was brought into federal court for the northern district of Indiana and was found guilty of complicity in the liquor conspiracy case of Mayor Raleigh Hale and Police Chief James Regan of East Chicago. He then was ordered deported upon the expiration of the minimum of his manslaughter sentence. Upon representations of his attorney, Oscar Ahlgren, Whiting, former state representative, Warden Walter Daly recommended a fifteenday parole for Sudovich so he might arrange his affairs pending deportation. Extension Is Granted . Soon after granting of his parole, Sudovich through Ahlgren petitioned for art extension, which also was granted. However, upon his return two weeks ago, inmates of the penitentiary, through the underground telegraph system, learned of his boasts that while out on parole he had attended carousals given by and in honor of Capone. Daly denied that he had recommended the original parole and said that it came fcom the Governor’s office. The answer was that the warden had urged it. Although they refused to discuss the matter with the racketeer, the prison trustees ordered him held for the immigration authorities. Came to U. S. in 1913 The “public enemy” came to the United States from Yugo-Slavia in 1913. He returned on a visit to his former home in 1926, which placed him under the labor department’s regulations involving crimes committed five years after arrival in this country. Thus he became liable for deportation. Ahlgren, his attorney, has indicated he will take no further steps in behalf of Sudovich. BUTLER EXPLAINS ‘HOW’ ‘Don’t Be Too Educated or Too Efficient,’ Smedley Tells Marines. By United Press QUANTICO, Va., Aug. 29.—MajorGeneral Smedley D. Butler, soon to retire from the marine corps, summed up his philosophy in an address to officers at the opening of the marine school. “Don’t be too educated to work or too efficient to fight,” Butler said. “Education removes fear when you face problems, but if you go too far in education the danger is that you will be frightened by possible consequences and fail to act.” In the Air Weather conditions at 9 a. m.: West wind, 12 miles an hour; temperature, 67; barometric pressure, 30.10 at sea level; ceiling, clear, unlimited; visibility, 12 miles; field, good.

SUICIDE IS 'MARTYR' Leaves Letter Asserting He ‘Died a Hero/ By United Press FT. WAYNE, Ind., Aug. 29.—The story of a suicide’s picture of himself as a heroic sufferer and martyr “for humanity” was revealed here in a letter received by a newspaper from Albert C. McMillan, a railroad engineer. The farewell message apparently was mailed a few moments before McMillan ended his life by shooting. Bitter criticism of lodge brothers “responsible for my downfall” pervaded the letter. After confessing that he had stolen lodge money to pay for lottery tickets and liquor, McMillan wrote: “I am dying for the blessing of humanity. I am innocent of anything. I am dying a hero.” SEEK TO AID PANGBORN N. Y. Legislature Wants to Pass Resolution Asking U. S. Action. By United Press ALBANY, N.

The resolution was offered Friday by Senator Arthur W. Wicks of Kingston, but it was ruled out of order. Governor Roosevelt may allow the legislature to consider it. Herndon and Pangbom have been refused a permit to fly across the Pacific ocean because they allegedly took photographs of Japanese fortifications.

Ornithorhyncus, a scientific term, which in ordinary language means a duckbill, was easy for him. So was hypsibrachycephalic. Drane said hypsibrachycephalic in reality means flat-headed. The reporters took his word for it.

Marriage Bureau Wooer Weakens Under Long Grilling, After Bodies of Widow and Four Children Are Found. MOB THREATENS TO LYNCH SUSPECT Woman and Two Girls Hanged Along Wall of Garage Basement, Son Struck Down With Hammer. By United Press CLARKSBURG, W. Va., Aug. 29.— As police awaited the promised confession of Harry F. Powers, dapper matrimonial agent, to the slaying of a wealthy Park Ridge, 111., widow and her three children, discovery of bones in the ruins of a burned cottage near the spot where the bodies were buried was announced. The bones were found in a chimney of the cottage, "which was burned just a few days before Powers built the garage in which police believe Mrs. Aste Buick Eicher and her three children were starved, garroted and beaten to death. By United Press • CLARKSBURG, W. Va., Aug. 29.—Harry F. Powers offered today to confess he murdered a rich widow he wooed by mail and her three children, “if my lawyer tells me to,” police announced. The police announcement came after twelve hours of severe examination which followed discovery of the bodies of the victims in shallow graves near a garage on Powers’ property. They had reported soon after the offer that Powers had “confessed.” “Will your confession implicate your wife and her sister?” police said they asked the 45-year-old matrimonial agent, whose love letters to a score of women led to discovery of the missing widow’s body.

“No,” was the reported reply. Both Mrs. Powers and her sister are under arrest in connection with the case. “I will make a complete statement today,” police said Powers promised. “But,” he said, “my lawyer will have to advise me first.” The middle-aged Romeo’s “ promise to confess” came about 5 a. m. as authorities were investigating the possibility of a wholesale murder plot in which enamored women all wooed by mail were the victims. Threatened by Mob And it followed a night-long vigil in county jail here, where Powers had been hustled hurriedly after a mob formed and threatened to lynch him. The mob formed after discovery of bodies of the victims, Mrs. Aste Buick Eicher, and her children, Greta, 14; Harry, 12; and Annabel, 9, near the garage on the Powers property. Powers’ admission was secured after questioning by Detective Housely, Chicago, who arrived in Clarksburg early today and Police Chief Clarence A. Duckworth, Clarksburg. Mrs. Eicher was killed first, according to preliminary investigation, Sergeant L. M. Bird sSM. She and two of the children were hanged along the wall in the sub-basement of the unused garage, while the third child, Harry, was hit on the head with a weapon of the nature of a hammer, Bird said.

Dead About Two Weeks Condition of the bodies revealed that all had suffered from lack of nourishment, police said. How long they were in the garage before they were killed has not been determined. The four were taken to the garage from Fairmont, W. Va., police have determined, and further investigation is to be made in that city to trace their movements there. Coroner L. C. Goff, who viewed the bodies in the Romine funeral parlor, said he believed they had been dead for about two weeks. A crowd estimated to number 2,000, which gathered about the jail Friday night, had dispersed today without further demonstration. Police said the crowd was actuated more by curiosity than by anger. Police said District Attorney Will S. Morris would file murder charges against Powers. Near midnight the police found another garage recently rented by the 45-year-old Powers. In it they found clothing, jewelry and love letters, indicating it had been used as 'a hiding place for the personal property of several women. Rings, Clothing Found Wedding rings, one initialed C. O. P. to E. F.; pocketbooks, children’s and women’s shoes, dresses and partly burned letters littered the place. This garage and the ground about it in Broad Oaks, a suburb, will be explored thoroughly, by police to determine if other victims have met the fate of Mrs. Elchfr and her children. Their bodies were found in a shallow grave just a few feet from the garage, recently built and listed as property of Mrs. Louella Powers, who at first was not arrested, but later was arrested along with her sister, Miss Eva Bell Strother. The two sisters run a grocery store. Mrs. Powers insisted today her husband was innocent of any wrongdoing. She offered no comment on the many romantic letters found, which indicated Powers may

have had affairs with as many as thirty women. Other ‘Dupes’ Found Some letters were phrased in most endearing language. And reports reaching here told of former mail sweethearts in Detroit, Olean, N. Y, in California, Idaho and many other points, with the list growing. From Olean came word that Mrs. Bessie G. Storrs said she had met Powers through an advertisement he inserted in the American Friendship society publication at Detroit eight months ago. “He told me all about a large ranch he owned, and promised me $4,800 annually for spending money and promised tb buy me an automobile,” she said. “Also, he wanted to sell my property here and give it to him to invest, but I refused. Then once he wrote me that he was ill, and I wanted to go down to visit him and take care of him, but he wouldn’t allow it,” she continued. She knew Powers as Cornelius O. Pierson, a civil engineer at work on a construction project in Clarksburg, she said. Mrs. Edith Simpson at Detroit expected to marry Powers in September, she said. She was “horrified” at news of the discovery of the bodies near his garage. Letters Trapped Him "He was so gentlemanly and respectful in - his - letters,” she wept as she gazed through tears at a photograph she said he had sent her. "He looks so calm and handsome that I can’t think he would do wrong.” Letters were responsible for apprehension of powers. Letters found in the home of Mrs. Eicher led to search that resulted in discovery of the gruesome termination of her romance by mail. She and her children vanished between June 22 and July 12. A man who said he was Cornelius Pierson took over the house and said they had gone to Europe. Police who learned this man had vanished found furnishings packed ready for shipment. Chief H. W. Johnson at Park Ridge searched the garage, and even dug for bodies. Then he came across a packet of telltale letters, fifty-four in all. The first date, Jan. 19, 1931, told of his “income of more than S4OO a month.” Children Are Praised Letters from other men were found; one from a California “goat king” and one from a “hard-work-ing father of five lonely children” in Idaho. Mrs. Eicher s friends told of the woman’s romantic nature. Some of Powers’ letters to the slain woman were found here. One answered her protest that he was too small to be an ideal lover. “Honey dear, I know that I appear rather small in one picture but (Turn to Page 3) COTTON BILL PASSED Holiday Measure Sent to Huey Lonf by Louisiana Senate.
