PAGE TWO N.Y. MAYORALTY RANKS SECOND TO PRESIDENCY ‘Cost of Running City One Year More Than $400,000,000. By ROBERT T.

LAWGON Body of Wife Will Be Disinterred and Buried With Him. CHICAGO, Aug. 21—(By The As- sociated Press)—No pretentious mon- ument will mark the grave in Grace- land cemetery where on Monday Victor Fremont Lawson, owner and editor of the Chicago Dally News, will be buried. ‘There, will be only a marker, carv- ed with the dates of his birth and death at the head of the grave. This will be in keeping with his antipathy for a posthumous renown, The body of his wife will be dis- interred and placed beside his in one of the two lots he owned in the cem- etery. Characteristic of his dislike of os- tentation is the fact that no cere- mony will be held at his Lake Shore Drive mansion. The funeral service will’be said in the New England Con- gregational church, of which he was a devoted member. From among his co-workers on the Daily News have been drawn the men who will bear his body to the graye, while life-time associates of Mr. Lawson in journalistic, benevo- lent and social activities were includ- ed and the 28 honorary pall bearers. Among the latter are Cyrus H. Mc- Cormick, Colonel R. R. McCormick, William L. McLean, Frank B. Noyes, Adolph 8. Ochs, Julius Rosenwald, John C. Shaffer and Melville E. Stone. Added to the messages from Presi- dent Coolidge, Vice President Dawes, Melville I. Stone, counselor of the Associated Press, his first business partner and associate in founding the Associated Press; Frank B. Noyes, president, and Kent Cooper. general manager of the Associated Press, were expressions from those with whom he had worked untiring ly for years. They told of the more intimate and human side of the aggressive journalist. He had a sense of humor, they said, and rewarded a joke with robust laughter even when it cost money. Eugene Field, the poet-jester, frequently made use of his employ- er’s humorous susceptibility. Field's methods of approach for loans were always different. There would be a long murmur of argu- ment, broken by a guffaw from Mr. Lawson, which meant “victory for Field.” MURDER CRIME UNSOLVED (Continued From Page One) that -teschke's death was the climax of a long series of transactions in supposedly bonded Hquor that has been carried out here by a gang “f hootleggers, of which Reschke is be- Neved to have been a member. The Buick is believed to be a car which has been used by numerous members of the alleged hootleggers gang in transporting liquor, Whether the hijacking episode was the result of a factional battle or whether Reschke was attacked by men outside of the gang and who had agreed to purchase liquor from him in the shack where he was kill- ed provide still another angle to the mystery. Chief of Police A. T. Patrick, Lieut. Ray Ideen, Sheriff Alex Mc- Pherson, and Detective Kilgore of the Burlington rafiroad held confer- ences this morning in further inves- Ugation of the murder. While the three men previously mentioned were being held to®ay, tlie police expressed the belief that much work was yet to be done before the actual slayer or slayers were run down. Mra. George LE. Grove said today that she was not a-relative of either Reschke or his wife, although the Reschke family stopped in the base- ment of the Grove house at 632 South Washington street Tell the Advertiser —“Saw It The Tribune.

KLINE (Copyright, 1925, by Casper Tribune) SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 21.—The sensational attempt made by eight Trisoners at San Quentin state prison to escape Wednesday has raised the question of whether too strict discipline in a penitentiary is not as conducive to trouble as too lenient treatment. While many prisons throughout the country are experimenting with reformation programs which make the life of convicts pleasant and as near normal as possible, the San Quentin management has tended to hold to the older method of hard discipline, hard work and stern- armed guarding of prisoners. It is reported that the prisoners there complain of the rigid enforce- ment of grinding routine and of can- cellation of former privileges. In the. attempt to escape, the eight prisoners killed one and prob- ably fatally injured another prison employe and two convicts were shot down before the flight was well un- der way. The aroused police of the whole bay district, assisted by an army airplane from Crissy field, armed with machine guns and bombs, succeeded in frustrating the attempt and brought the sullen group back to the prison dungeon after their fruitless race across the bay in a commandeered launch. The attempt closely follows the successful escape of three desperate criminals from the Oregon state prison, who have terrorized the en- tire northwest coast and the escape a few months ago of two desperate men from ‘San Quentin, These two men, Hall and Tanko, had northern California in a nervous state for sev- eral weeks before Hall was dragged out from under.a bed in a Sacra- mento rooming house and convicted of murder, Tanko, still at large, has apparently been forgotten by NEW YORK, Aug. 21.—(By The Sssociated Preas.)—The light heavy- weight boxing card at the Coney Island stadium tonight, featuring the MeTigue-Marullo and Slattery- Rosenbloom bouts, has been post- poned until tomorrow night because of rain. PITTSBURGH, Pa., Aug. 21.—(By The Associated Press.)\—Harry Greb, middleweight boxing champion, was “resting ¢ in a hospital today, from injuries suffered {n an auto- mobile accident last night. Physi- cians said his condition was favor- able and that he would be able to leave the hospital within two or three weeks unless complications de- veloped. He suffered a broken rib and minor bruises. NEW YORK, Aug. 21—(By The Associated Press.}—Examination of Paul Berlenbach’s hands today by the state athletic commission's phy- sician failed to disclose any evidence of the injury which was claimed by the light heavywelght champion last week as grounds for postponing his fight with Jack Delaney on August 28 at the Yankee stadium, YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio, Aug. 21.— (Associated Press,)—Al Watrous of Grand Rapids, by scoring his second 70 in two days, took the lead with 140 of the contestants in the western open golf championship today.

At the head of the iist when to- day’s round began was Larry Nab- holtz of Cleveland, who had a wor- derful 67 to his record. Only two strokes behind the leader were Don- ald Carrick, 18-year-old Canadian amateur champion, and Emmett French, professional of the local club and there were seven players, with scores of 70. MIRACLES OF BIBLE FAME WIN DEFENSE WINONA LAKE, Ind., Aug. 21.— (Asaociated Press.)}—Miracles and mysteries of the Bible should not be considered from the viewpoint of natural laws, declared Dr, Charles R, Erdman, moderator of the Pres- byterian sgenéral ‘assembly at the Winona Bible conference. “Even in view of facts and laws established by modern science, no intelligent Christian need doubt the truth of divine creation, of the miracles of sacred history, or the inspiration of the Bible,” he said.

NEW YORK, Aug. 21.—A deep sea diving apparatus invented by an American after 20 years of re- search is expected to be the means of solving the mysteries of the world’s last explored frontier, the bottom of the ocean. The apparatus permits work at the unheard of depths of from 5,000 to 15,000 feet. It is the in- vention of Dr. Hans Hartman, New Yorker, who now is in London or- ganizing an expedition which will explore the bed of the Mediterranean sea, beginning at depths of 1,000 to 6,000 feet and slowly going down further. The perfected Hartman apparktus is now being completed at the Krupp works. It is constructed of a special steel alloy, similar to the material used in the long-distance guns of the World war. The Krupp en- gineers have guaranteed it to, with- stand a pressure of 15,000 feet, and have equipped it with a steel wire cable two and a half miles in length. The Hartman apparatus, which consists of a steel cylinder equipped with a 36-hour air supply and built by the Krupp factories in Essen, is strong enough to resist the pressure of the greatest ocean depths. Dropped on a steel cable to any required depth, it carries two ob- servers, who are able tO study the ocean bed through prismatic tele- scopes, while adequate lighting {s provided by powerful illuminators. Cameras and various devices for propulsion and scientific observation are attached to the apparatus and are controlled electrically from within, Seven-tenths of the earth’s sur- face lies under the liquid veil of the ocean, Five-tenths of all the earth is covered by water 18,000 to 19,000 feet deep. In at least 20 places this depth reaches 25,000 feet. All this enormous area remains unexplored and practically unknown beyond the 800-foot limit of the diver's physical endurance, French to Try Paris-New York Plane Flight PARIS, Aug. 21.—(Associated Press.)—Lieutenants Francois Colt and Paul Tarascon, maimed French veterans, plan to start on a non- stop airplane flight from Paris to New York within a few days.
