One dead man and Frank Coleman, ‘Kansas City, were found last night by General W. F. Rhinow, head of the state bureau of criminal apprehension, as he was touring a lonely road near Wlidwood, an amusement resort on White Bear lake, 15 miles northwest of here. The third victim was found about 6 a. m., today after authorities con- tinued their search of the vicinity fol- lowing the discovery of the hats of three men. Think It Work of Gang One of the two dead later was iden- tified as Sammy Stein, also known as Hackle, is. The third man was not yet identified. All three were found in a radius of 200 yards of the spot where a small car was parked beside the roadside. Identification of Coleman, who Sheriff Maher of Washington county termed a member of a Missouri mob, tended to strengthen his theory the trio was slain by a rival gang. The automobile. bore Missouri license plates and papers in Coleman's pockets indicated he had lived in the Missouri city. Coleman was shot from close range by a .45 caliber weapon, officers said. There were powder burns about his head and he had been shot three times. a. ‘Three telephone numbers found in Btein’s pockets were traced to Min- aeapolis houses in which negroes lived. Ocupar'ts disclaimed having known or nad dealings with Stein. Police believed the third victim is “Butch” Myer, of St. Paul. Was Bank Robbery Suspect Stein, they said, was wanted as a suspect in the recent Willmar, Minn., bank robbery when five men armed with machine guns escaped with $142,000 in cash and securities. He also was wanted in Kansas City for murder, they said. His body was found not far from those of Coleman and the other racketeer. His right arm was propped on. a branch above his head and he nad been shot back cf the right ear. A 45 aliber weapon was found mear- oy and in his pocket was a clip of bullets for the gun, one of which was a tear gas cartridge. Possibility that a fourth bod, might be found was disclosed later when a fourth hat was found by searchers combing the woods where they also found a gallon of gasoline. ‘Continued on page nine) MANY MASONS WILL G0'T0 TACOMA MEET North Dakota Will Send Nearly 1,000 Members to General Grand Council Fargo, N.

The morning was taken up with preliminary meetings and discussions with farm board and agriculture de- partment officials. The governors as they went from their hotels to conferences saw umbrellas and rain coats, By another paradox, the farm board was informed its chairman, Alexander Legge, might be kept from the conference with President Hoover this afternoon because of rain and storm. Legge, flying here from the west, was forced to take a train at Dayton, Ohio, because of bad weather. He planned to take another plane at Altoona, Pa., but if storms still threatened he will continue by rail. In that event he would arrive too late for the conference which was set for 2:30 p. m.

At 11:11 a. m. (C: S. T.) they had been up 580 hours and had beaten the mark of the Hunter brothers by more than 26 hours. When Jackson and O’Brine will land remained problematical today. “I think we will be up next year if the weather and everything ‘holds out,” O'Brine radioed from the endur- ance plane, GreatereSt. Louis, Both fliers have talked of remaini:® aloft for 1,000 hours, and it was considered unlikely at Lambert-St. Louis field, over which they are flying, that they would come down ‘before reaching ied goal if everything continues to go well. Now that the record is back in their possession, Jackson and O'Brine clung close to the field. “We are not getting far from the field so we can set it down, drop it down or throw it down,” O'Brine said over the radio. National Aeronautic association contest rules require en- durance fliers to bring their plane down on the field from which they took off to make their records offi- _—— cial, which accounts for the precau- tion mentioned by O'Brine.

With one of its powerful motors out of commission, the largest lighter- than-air liner in the world cast off from the mooring tower here at 8:26 p.m., eastern standard time, yesterday and headed down the, St. Lawrence valley. In addition to its complement of 44 officers and men, the airship carried 13 passengers, including two official observers and a group of press repre- sentatives. Despite the handicap of one dead | motor, Squadron Leader R. M. Booth and his officers expected to make a quick crossing, aided by following winds, and tie up at Cardington Sat- urday morning. Their estimate for the trip was 50 hours, which would give the R-100 the record for an eastward transatlantic voyage. Circling over Montreal in a last ges- ture of farewell, the R-100 headed down the river. An hour and 24 min- utes later it was sighted over Three Rivers, Que., flying at the rate of 60 miles an hour. The airship arrived over Quebec at 10:45, having covered the 163 miles from Montreal in 2 hours and 20 minutes. Weather forecasts promised good flying conditions over the first half of the ocean, with following winds. The R-100 carried only two items which could be listed as freight on her return voyage. One was a bunch of peonies for King George, sent by Viscount Willingdon, governor-general of Canada, and a basket of peaches addressed to the prince of Wales from Premier Ferguson of Ontario. A small packet of official mail was aboard. The departure of the R-100 ended a 13-day stay in Canada.
