Pat Roche of the state’s attorney's office said he had reliable informa- preg ladb ge Serratia short rh its. murder.victims, thus getting ot "the “corpus delicti.” The disappeat- ance in recent weeks of William Higgins, St. Paul, Minn. racketeer, and Ben Bennett, New York whiskey dealer, has given precedence to the crematory report, Roche said. He Pointed out further that within a week there have been two gang gun attacks in Chicago in which the vic- tim, after being shot down, has been carried away. The latest gang murder—the tenth in the Chicago area within three days—was discovered last night. The victim was Thomas Somnerio, 33, who was tried ard acquitted of complicity in the election day (1928) slaying of Octavius Granady, negro lawyer. Somnerio's body was found late last night in an alley. The body was cut and bruised, indicating torture. The wrists were wired. A welt around the neok indicated Somnerio had been garroted. Indicted and tried with Somnerio for the Granady murder were Louis Clemente, aligned with the Capones, and Rocco Belastro, reputed expert in bomb making. Police are certain Somnerio's murder was in reprisal for the “little mas- sacre” of three Druggan associates at Fox lake early Sunday. They say it is just cnether episode of blood in the renewed gang war precipitated six-weeks ago with the slaying of Joe Blue, ex-convict and friend of Terry ‘Druggan, one time beer baron. ‘The hunt for the gangster crem- atory led Roche and his state's attor- ney’s aides last night to a west side the furnace door, to find human ashes, Roche found instead a box containing a hundred sticks of dyna- mite. The explosive was covered with ashes. Wrapped in a newspaper of May 26 date were fuses and detonator caps. Ownership of the garage and of the hidden dynamite was being investi- gated today. — Chicago Man Sends | ‘ Self to Calaboose | ——_—_ gune 4—()— Charles Chicago, | Konderlik went to jail.

TAIL WIND SPEEDS ZEPPELIN'S FLIGHT Graf Makes Average Speed of More Than 70 Miles an Hour After Leaving America Friedrichshafen, Germany, June 4. —(@)—The Graf Zeppelin, riding the winds which blow from west to east, sailed along the fortieth parallel to- day toward Seville, Spain, and thence home. X ‘The winds which kicked up white- caps on the blue Atlantic beneath, so accelerated the giant dirigible’s speed that there was a possibility that Dr. Hugo Eckener's estimate of 50 hours from New York to Seville might be bettered and a record set. At 5 a. m. mid-European time the Graf, which left Lakehurst, N. J., Monday at 9:12 p. m. E. 8. T. radioed its position from a point about 1,825 miles east of New York, and 550 miles west of Fayal, Azores, toward which it was heading at a speed of 85 miles an_ hour. The position represented an aver- age speed since leaving New York of more than 70 miles an hour. There remained at the time about 1,775 miles of the ocean journey to Seville, which at the pvevailing speed of 85 miles an hour might be traversed in about 21 hours, making arrival at Se- ville at about 1 a. m. ‘Spanish time Thursday. In this event the total trip would take less than 47 hours.

Again and again he replied “I de- cline to answer,” to questions about | | his part in the campaign and about | the failure of his committee to report to congress some of the expenditures. Responding to other inquiries about contributors and contributions he said he could not remember. The absence of a committee quorum will delay a decision whether con- tempt proceedings are to be lodged against him. Repeating his refusal of yesterday, the bishop told Senator Walsh, Dem- ocrat, Montana, that he did not rec- ognize the committee's right to ques- | tion him on his anti-Smith activities. In this position, Cannon has the support of Chairman Caraway, who is in Arkansas. A full vote of the com- mittee probably will decide what further steps aré to be taken. Walsh Presses Question |, When Walsh pressed his question | today about the 1928 campaign, the bishop read a statement saying the committee's effort to inquire into Personal and political activities was “an intolerable infringement upon the right of the American people.” He said he had appearéd voluntar- ily and denied the right of the com- (Continued on page nine) Late News Bulletins GRAF NEARING SPAIN London, June 4.—(7)—The As- sociated Press today received the following, wireless from the steamship Orcoma: “7:05 p. m.:Graf Zeppelin sight- .ed latitude 38 north 23 west. “St east.
