FIEND ATTACKS AND STRANGLES SCHOOL GIRL IN CALIFORNIA Vengeful Townsmen Following Dim Trail of Slayer Across Hills on Frontier Fort Bragg, Cal, May 25.—(P)— Search for the attacker and murderer of six-year-old Teresa Johnson, Fort Bragg school girl, assumed wide proportions today as scores of venge- ‘ful townsmen joined a posse of deputy sheriffs in following @ dim trail across the hills of this :rontier district. ‘The girl's bruised body was found in a clearing near her home yester- day and the search for the slayer, who- evidently killed the child by strangling her, got under way.

TILDEN AND HUNTER. rome WOULD OBVIATE NEW GYM Place to Stage Interscholastic Games Would Be Provided at Once, Points Out The city schools administration is hoping that the memorial building project will win at the coming $125,- 000 bond issue referendum. Erection of the building will be a boon for the schools, in their estimation. It will give the schools much-needed facil- ities now, and when the time comes to build a new high school it will be of still greater advantage, for the problem of a gymnasium to seat 2000 will not have to be considered. The memorial community \building will provide that. Money spent now can be saved then. The memorial building will be as good as & $25,000 contribution toward @ new high school, in the opinion of H. O. Saxvik, city superintendent of schools. If it could be done he would favor a contribution on the part of the schools toward the cost of the ee structure. But it cannot be lone. Speaking of the memorial building project, the superintc.dent said it is absolutely necessary when the matter of a new high school is taken up a few years hence, that provision be made in the plans for a gymnasium with 2000 seating capacity, if there be no such gym already in existence. “Why not build the memorial building and get that gymnasium at once without a cent cost to the school ad- ministration?” he asked. Then, when a new high school is considered, the only sort of gym that will be necessary to consider is a small practice gym, which. will not in- Volve a great cost. The schools either save the $25,000 a gymnasium would cost or they can get other improve- ‘ments for the money. In either case, the schools are gainer, Superintend- ent Saxvik said, What is taken out of one pocket now need not be taken out of another later. “The gymnasium in the school would be an expensive proposition from the viewpoint of overhead,” con- tinued Superintendent Saxvik. “It is absolutely required, but it would be used only at certain periods and would tie up a lot of money compared to the amount cf use it would get. If, however, the memorial building be constructed, then the schools will have gym ’. stage their indoor interscholastic contests, and the remainder of the time, when they do not require its use, the memorial building gym can be utilized for s0 many other community civic activ- ities that the average overhead will be very low. There would thus be @ tremendous ultimate saving to taxpayers and our crowded condition at the high school would be relieved now instead of waiting until a new school building is longer inescapable.” WASECA SLAUGHTER VEILED IN MYSTERY Funeral Services for Stewart Held at Mayville Today Dyche Stadium, Evanston, Il, May 25.—(#)}—Eddie Tolan, negro sprinter from the University of Michigan, bettered the world’s record for the 100-yard dash in the finals of the western conference track and field championships today by winning the event in :09.5 seconds. Orval Martin of Purdue captured the first event, the mile run, stepping the distance in 4:20 4-10. Martin re- mained back in fourth position until the final lap when he stepped out to open a big lead. Stine of Illinois challenged 200 yards from the tape, but the boilermaker star had enough left to out-foot the Illini runner. ‘The bespectacled negro lad raced to astonishing victory, beating George Simpson, Ohio state flyer, to the tape in an eyelash finish. He came from behind in the last 30 yards, raced shoulder to shoulder with t! eye for a few strides and then grad- ually pulled ahead in @ finish that was inconceivably close. ‘The performance of Tolan, one time (Special To The Tribune) Jamestown, N.

Liberal and Labor speakers seized upon the song, pictured the Tory party as “Sonny Boy” upon a sick bed, and urged the voters to get ready for the funeral, May 30. Some versifier for the enemy turned the song around, as follows: “We made England free, Stanley Boy. Fought and bled for thee, Stanley Boy. Proclaiming best intentions, then you docked our pensions, Aren't you proud to be, Stanley Boy?” The rousing chorus goes thus: “When there are gray skies you don't mind the gray ies, You've got your wage, Stanley Boy, Though health forsake us, death and worse oertake | us, What's that to you, Stanley Boy? | You came from Bewdley, and we know your worth. ‘To put it rudely—no darned use on earth! pase election’s over, back with your pigs and vr, That's where you'll be, Stanley Boy.” The British Tories wish they never had heard of “Sonny Boy!” But meanwhile, millions of voters in Great Britain Parodies of this American popular song. are singing the T| JAMESTOWN WOMAN that f ‘Wrong Number’ Saves Lives of 8 eight from death by gas poisoning.

Fort Worth, Texas, May 25.—(P}— Within a few hours of surpassing the world’s endurance flight record of the army monoplane Question Mark, R. L. Robbins and James Kelly an- nounced today they resolved to re- main aloft 200 hours or more. Enough gasoline and oil were taken aboard the airplane “Forth Worth" this morning to keep it aloft the re- maining hours required to break the endurance record of 150 hours 40 minutes and 15 seconds held by the army airplane “Question Mark.” With less than 12 hours to go, the fifteenth successful contact was made with the refueling ship and 110 gal- lons of gasoline and four and one-half gallons of oil were transferred. If successful in breaking the army plane's record, the two civilian pilots, R. L.
