The bodies of three victims, recovered last night, are all that have been found. The 15 missing are in addition to the three known dead, making a pos- sible casualty list of 18 holiday ex- cursionists. Two coast guard boats and three other vessels were searching the vi- cinity of the disaster this morning, Officials reported, however, they did not expect: the bodies of other victims to come ashore for possibly days. A great bed of kelp, they explained, be- tween the place where the ship foun- dered and the shore, may hold some oa Let trae Lightfoot, “mas Captain D @ ter Ot the 45-foot saegten nr €. A.

Mrs. Morris said she sold BB. tickets to prospective passengers, and police said they believed 59 per- sons were aboard, Count 49 Survivors Police counted 49 survivors, brought ashore by other fishing boats. Some suffered no more than a wetting, while others were unconscious and were revived by inhalator squads. Mountainous waves, blown by 8 sudden squall, swamped the craft, hurling the’ passengers and three members of the crew into the heavy seas. The known dead are: John H. Lockhard, 14, Pasadena, Cal. Miss Margaret Keller, 18, Santa Monica. T. E. Barnett, 26, Los Angeles. Known to be missing are: James Huntsman, Santa Monica. ‘W. 8. Ferguson, 49, Glendale, Cal. Joseph Memoli, Los Angeles. Disaster Strikes Suddenly Disaster struck the craft shortly after four o'clock as it was returning to the Santa Monica pier with its pas- gengers who had spent Memorial Day fishing on distant reefs. From a:comparatively calm sea, @ strong wind suddenly swept the ocean front. Thousands of persons on the beaches saw waves between 25 and 30 feet high race toward the small craft. The waves lifted the boat to their crests and dropped it in the raging troughs of the sea. Panic stricken, the passengers dashed to cover on the port side. The sudden shift of weight toppled the boat over, hurling the crew and passengers into the angry seas. Almost in a moment, the craft sank. Comes to Rescue Another fishing boat, the Freedom, ‘was nearby and turned to the aid of the stricken passengers. Its crew succeeded in picking up 22 persons, including the crew. ‘The bodies of Lockhard and Barnett ‘were recovered from the ocean. Miss Keller died ashore from exposure. An investigation of the disaster ‘was ordered by Captain S. A. Kennedy of the United States Steamboat In- spection service.

GRAF ZEPPELIN SAFE ATLAKEHURST, Nd, AFTER LONG FLIGHT Comes ‘Rolling Up From Rio’ to Complete Next to Last Leg of Journey Lakehurst, N. J.,, May 31.—()— Rolling up from Rio to complete the next-to-last leg of its four-continent flight, the German dirigible Graf Zeppelin arrived at the naval air sta- tion today under escort of the navy dirigible Los Angeles, a commercial blimp, and a half dozen planes. The great dirigible appeared out of the south at 6 a. m., eastern stand- ard time. Twenty minutes later it was over the field and five minutes after that it had settled on the ground near the mooring mast. Because of the early arrival there was only a scattering of visitors on the field when the Graf Zeppelin, in striking contrast with previous ar- rivala-of the German airship when thousands had to be held in check by sailors and marines. - ‘The first person recognized as the Graf settled toward the earth Mrs. Laura Durston of Syracuse, N. Y., who leaned from 8 window with a white scarf trailing in the breeze. Beside her appeared William B. Leeds, American milljonaire. As the ship dropped slowly down, the cabin windows were crowded with the faces of passengers, three women and 16 men, Will Re-cross Atlantic ‘Dr. Hugh’ Eckener, captain of the Graf, leaned from the control cabin to shout terse orders to the ground crew and then the dirigible was down. Its 3,300-mile hop from Pernambuco completed and nothing more remain- ing of its present adventure but the flight across the Atlantic to Fried- richshafen. That flight, which will begin at 10 o'clock Monday night, will be the dirigible’s eighth ocean crossing, it having already crossed the Atlantic six times and the Pacific once during its journey around the world last year. On this flight it has come from Germany to Spain, across Africa and the South Atlantic to Pernambuco and down to Rio Janeiro, and up to Lakehurst. nq As the Graf was being attached to the short mobile mast the tail lifted about 15 feet in the breeze and two members of the ground crew who were holding on to the rear engine gondola, were carried up into the air. Apparently fearing that the ship was going aloft again or that the tail would flip down, and crush them, the sailors let go and one of them was slightly injured by the fall. After the Graf was in the hangar and the passengers were through with customs examinations, ,Dr. Eckener went to the press room in the hangar. Reporters were asked to make their questions as brief as possible because the air navigator was very tired. . Hits Bad Squall He said that last night, about 8:30 o'clock, the ship passed througn the worst squall he had ever experienced, worse even’ than the one which, on the Graf's first ocean flight, ripped the fabric from one of the fins. The dirigible pitched like a ship in a rough sea, but none of the passengers became sick and no damage was done. Dr, Eckener said he charted his course directly to Lakehurst from Pernambuco instead of stopping at Havana because otherwise he would have had to fly against a strong headwind which he feared might use up all his fuel before getting here. As it was, he had 30 hours of ‘fuel left_ over. The Graf will head for Seville, Spain, when it leaves America Mon- day, and will proceed from there to Friedrichshafen. To date the ship has been in the air 20414" hours on its present flight and has traveled 13,400 sea miles, ac- cording to Dr. Eckener’s log. The grizzled navigator of the skies said that two minutes after they ran into the squall he received wireless warning from the weather bureau at Washington that he might expect to run into an atmospheric condition.

Jones: ‘Announces That He Will Not Seek Place in United States Senate, However — Lincoln, Neb., May 31.—(?)—Here today for a brief business conference prior ‘to returning to Washington to- morrow, Samuel R. McKelvie, wheat memeber of the federal farm board, announced he would resign from that assignment but that he would not be ® candidate. for the United States senate. i McKelvie, though not fixing a det- inite date for his retirement from the board, intimated it would be in two or three months. “There are several phases of my work—particularly centering upon de- velopment of group marketing—that I want to carry out to a successful conclusion before I leave the board,” he stated. In announcing his decision, Mc- Kelvie recalled that he had accepted President Hoover's appointment upon the condition that he should retire In continuing beyond that date, he explained that it would permit him to fulfill his plans. Emphatically denying he would be- come a senatorial candidate, or would ; consider any overtures toward that end, McKelvie said he would return to Lincoln, once off the board, to de- vote his entire time to his business interests. Though he will leave the board, McKelvie said his services would be available at any time they might be desired or needed” because I am im- pressed with the board’s possibilities.” “And I would willingly serve with- out pay,” he added.

TRAIN JUMPS TRACK AT STERLING Passengers Severely Shaken; Nine Cars of Eleven-Car Train Derailed Presence of mind on the part of the engineer is believed to have. saved more than 50 persons from serious injury when nine cars of Northern Pa- cific westbound train No. 3 was de- railed at Sterling today. Two railroad employes and one pas- senger received slight injuries. Other occupants of the train were severely shaken up. Engineer Art O'Hearn, Jamestown, brought the train to an abrupt stop as soon as he sensed something was wrong. Had the train continued for a few hundred more feet several of the cars probably would have been over- turned. The manner ‘in’ which the train was stopped kept the cars from falling down an embankment. Eleven Cars in Train The train was composed of 11 cars, two of which remained on the track. Four of the cars were tilted at an angle of about 35 degrees, while the others were off. the track with their oe buried deeply in the roadbed. eral hundred feet of of St. Paul suffered @ gash on: the head, and M. A. Eddinger; Fargo, brakeman, received minor injuries. T. J. Miller of Fargo was the train con- ductor. Miss Nell Massi of Chicago, vice president and registrar of the Univer- sity of Chicago extension conservatory of music, suffered a: sprained neck. She was on her. way to.the coast, where she planned to sail for Hono- lulu. A defectiye brake shoe is believed to have caused the accident. The rear ‘truck of the tender was thrown .off the track and the other cars followed. The -accident occurred directly in front of the Sterling depot while the train was passing through at a speed estimated at 50 miles per hour. Agent ‘Has Narrow Escape A part of the brake shoe, a piece of iron weighing about 15 pounds, was hurled through a depot window, miss- ing Agent H. L. Belk of Sterling by @ few inches, while he was working at the telegraph key. Employes in the mail.car continued with their work shortly after the ex- citement of the derailment had sub- sider, H, J. Nierling and I. F. Beeman, both of Jamestown, were in the mail car at the time and were thrown off their feet when the crash came. Most of the passengers were jarred out of their seats as the cars left the track. Several doctors and nurses hur- tied to the scene from Mandan, but found none of the passengers in need of medical treatment. Railroad offi- cials from divisional headquarters were here to supervise cleaning up of the wreck. Pass Time in Eating Most of the passengers waited in the coaches until the arrival of a re- lief train which will enable them to continue their journeys. Service in the diner was continued, and a number of passengers spent their time by having meals. ‘The derailed train included one mail car, two baggage cars, three tourist coaches, a diner, and three Pullmans. The worst damage was done to the mail car, directly behind the tender. ‘This car was tipped at a sharp angle and the wheels buried deeply in the sand. The ties and track were torn up underneath this car. Other trains were not delayed, in- asmuch as the wreck lay within a dis- tance along which there is a long side track, which was not damaged. port Constitution leads Carr in Speech Fargo, N.

Fee i Pullman OCoriductor G, A, Bowker Chickasha, Okla, May 31.—()}— Evading a guard of National Guards- men called to protect Henry Argo, negro, alleged attacker of a white woman, a member of an angry mob early today shot the prisoner, prob- jably fatally. after either gaining en-| trance to the Grady county jail or climbing a tree and firing through a! prison window. G. W. Skinner, husband of the woman Argo is alleged to have at- tacked, stabbed the wounded man! after he had been returned to the jail from the morgue. The victim still lived. Skinner was arrested. The negro later died at a hospital at Oklahoma city, to which he was spirited after the shooting. | Three alleged members of the mob also were under arrest in connection with the disorders. Six National Guardsmen and several citizens were injured, some seriously. It was reported here that the negro died immediately after the shooting, in order to give officers an opportu- nity to get him out of town. Climaxes Reign of Terror The shooting came as a climax to an all-night reign. of terror when several attempts were made by hun- dreds of men and boys to gain en-| trance to the jail after the door was| battered down with rams. Local National Guardsmen par- tially quelled the mob spirit in the night by setting up machine guns and threatening to “fire at the limbs” of persons who attempted to approach the building. Tear gas also was used against the rioters by the guardsmen, who were said to have fired their rifles and machine guns into the air. The negro was taken to a morgue soon after the shooting was discovered. Dr. H. C. Antle, city health officer, said he believed the victim would not live long. Refused at Hospital ‘The negro wrapped in a sheet, was taken from the jail soon after it was discovered he had been shot. ‘The bullet pierced his skull. Members of the mob, believing he was dead, made no effort to molest him. He first was taken to a hospital, where it was said, attendants declined to receive him. He then was carried to a negro- owned undertaking establishment in the negro section. After a time, Argo was carried back to the jail, where he was stabbed. The mob apparently had dispersed at that time, and a handful of persons who were believed only to be curious, were permitted to loiter about the jail. ‘The tear bombs proved ineffectual to disperse the mob at the jail, which through the night battled county of- ficers, national guardsmen and regu- lar army troops. Batter Down Steel Door After about 100 leaders of the mob of 1,000 men were forced from the jail after they had battered down a steel door, troops from Fort Sill, Okla., arrived with the tear bombs. Their discharge thinned the ranks of howling rioters, but the situation re- mained acute. Guardsmen and rioters, who again had invaded the building, were forced outside by the gas, only the negro remaining in a second-story cell. First Shots Miss As the gas cleared somewhat groups of rioters entered the jail and made sporadic attempts to saw the cell bars protecting the negro. Earlier in the night Argo had been fired at by a rioter, the shots going wild at close | range. Besides attempting a dozen times to fire the jail the mob cut light wires to the jail and burned e national guard truck upon which a machine gun had been mounted. Skinner and three members of the mob arrested early today, later were released without bail. Texas Robbers Tie Up Bank Employes; Flee In Cashier’s Machine Dallas, Tex., May 31.—()—Two Tobbers today bound three employes of the Grand Avenue State bank here, waited until the time lock au- tomatically opened the vault, and took $8,500 in, currency and $2,400 in Liberty Bonds.

FIVE DIE, 22 HURT IN INDIANA RACES Four Onlookers Killed at Win- chester When Racing Car Hurtles Into Grandstand Indianapolis, May 31.—(#)}—Memor- ial day automobile races in Indiana caused the deaths of four spectators and one driver, critical injuries of one driver and one spectator, and les- ser hurts to 20 other persons. The four onlookers were killed when a racer threw a tire, leaped a turn and hurtled into a grandstand at a dist track at Winchester, Ind. The driver, Roland Bruhn, 24. Fort Wayne, Ind., suffered slight hurts. One fatality was recorded in the annual 500-mile race at the Indian- apolis motor speedway.

Physicians held little hope for the recovery of Fred Kizer, injured at Winchester. j THREE MEN HELD IN $1,000,000 ROBBERY Police Believe Looting of St. Louis Bank's Deposit Vaults Was an ‘Inside Job’ St. Louis, May 31—()—Safe wreck- ing tools found in the basement of the Grand National bank, looted of more than $1,000,000 when safety de- posit boxes were robbed Sunday, strengthened Chief of Detectives Kaiser's theory of an “inside job.” Three men, including two former of- ficials of the institution, are held un- der $50,000 bond each to answer any |charge that may be placed against them. A search of unused and unlighted basement rooms of. the bank last night disclosed to police 12 percus- sion caps, a quantity of soap, a lamp, @ punch, a 20-pound hammer and a pinch bar. “Apparently this is an inside job,” Chief of Detectives Kaiser declared. “Somebody with inside knowledge of the vaults or the, bank knew what was going on.” The inside door of the vault was unlocked, Kaiser said, adding the blasting of the door was merely “to throw dust in the eyes of the police.” Those arrested were William Brit- tin, custodian of the vault, Gifford J. Herbert, 40, cashier and director, who resigned yesterday, and Morris “Sap- pho” Barnholtz, 52, hotel proprietor and safety deposit box holder. Thousands Fleeing From Chinese ‘Reds’ Shanghai, May 31.—(?)—Dispatches from Amoy today said thousands of residents were fleeing from that city fearing an attack-by red troops was imminent. Part of the government troops gar- risoning the city deserted to join the Reds, whose troops practically isolated the city by digging trenches across roads and cutting telegraph lines.

'BRITISH ENTRY WEAKENS Cracks After Holding Bobby Even for First Nine Holes of 36-Hole Contest St. Andrews, Scotland, May 31.— otras Jones today added the British amateur championship to his | long string of major golf titles by de- ;feating Roger Wethered in the 36- hole final match, seven and six. _It was the only major golf cham- Pionship which the Atlanta barrister had not won at least once before. | Jones followed his custom of play- {ing against par while his opponent played Jones. The American was not over par on any hole in, the morning and as he had two birdies, he fin- ished his first round, two under pers fect figures. In the afternoon he went one over | Par on two holes but had two birdies to offset these lapses, so he was two strokes under par for the day's play. Jones and Wethered fought a great battle through the first nine holes of the match, starting home for the first time all square, but in the second nine of the morning Bobby drew away and went to luncheon four up. Again a close battle developed in the first nine holes of the afternoon 1ound, Wethered cutting away one of the American's holes with a sensa- any Putt for a birdie three at the The American open champion, however, regained his morning lead and added another hole by winning the 25th and 26th and halving the 27th, starting on the last lap, five up. Jones in the 30 holes of play, scored 22 fours, three of them birdies. He required five strokes on only three holes, one a par, and the other two a stroke over par. 12,000 See Finish Tt was estimated more than 12.000 Persons saw the finish, or attempted to see it. Fully 8,000 were jammed in &@ great circle around the 12th hole of the course—the 30th of the match —while others were waiting at other holes. Wethered, after having trouble tn the morning with his long game, straightened it in the afternoon ané not until he played the 26th was there a hook to his drive. The Englishman was regarded as definitely finshed when Jones started home for the last time five up, but faint hope persisted that he might rally and make the match close. These were dampened when Jones scored a birdie at the 28th and halved the 29th. At the deciding hole Wethered had |@ three-foot putt for a half whieh | would have made Jones’ dormie and. kept the match alive for at least one more hole, but the slender -English- man missed as he had missed severa] others only slightly longer.

When Jones takes the amateur cup home with him it will mark the third bisit of the historic trophy to the United States. W. J.

Hibbs, dentist. This is the first well brought in on the company’s holdings, Dr.. Hibbs said. The company has six quarter sections in the field and Dr. Hibbs said prospects for the company are bright. Flow of the well probably will be reduced later, Dr. Hibbs said, but it should be good for heavy production for a long period. It is the heaviest producing well drilled in the Oregon Basin field, according to Dr. Hibbs’ information. Dr. Hibbs said the interests ot North Dakotans in the project were threatened a year ago but that a pro- tective committee, of which he is sec- retary-treasurer, was formed and managed to keep the project alive. Judge Graham, of Enderlin, is president of the company and James Tierney, of this city, is secretary.
