H. ¥ Clark, when the defense motion for a nonsuit was granted and the ac- tion dismissed by Superior Court Judge J. T. Ronald. He said lack of evidence and the fact that the plaintiff wrote a letter to Miss Kav Burbeck, Mrs. Kennedy’s compan- ion, telling her of his acquaintance- ship with the evangelist, a thing she had specifically told him not to do, were reasons for dismissal. Judge Ronald said the writing of the letter justified” Mrs. Kennedy in not marrying Olark. Rev. Clark’s attorney said he would appeal the case to the State Supreme Court. ., eee0ccece0s0sec o0 .

Charles A Lindbergh, seeking ancient Maya ruins, today brought his plane down with rare skill in the midst of the Yucatan jun- gle on a small green-watered pool. He and his bride inflated a rubber boat and chopped their svay through the weeds and reached shore where they looked for relics of a lost civi- lization. Mrs. Lindbergh served the party at luncheon. At last reports the searchers had been unable to find ruins. Having conquerea the air Jor Commerce, Col. Charles A. Lind-| bergh has turned to archeology-: and he is studying that from the air, With Dr. Oliver Ricketson of the Carnegie Institute as his guide, | Col. Lindbergh is operating from. Belize, British Honduras, on a three-day flight over the Yucatani Peninsula. He hopes to discover) in these three days more ruins than have the ground archeologists ia their years of slow carving through the jungles. According to Associated Press dispatches to The Empire, Col.| Lindbergh on the first day flight[ discovered ruins of a large ruined city hitherto unknown to scientiste. He also discovered the first Yucatan settlements and primitive villages of the primitive race. When the natives saw his plane they fled in all directions. When the ancestors of most of us were living in caves and wear- ing animal skins, a remarkable civ- ilization was developing in what is now the Central American penin sula. The Maya Indians had thriv. ing cities and handsome buildmgs,! a culture rivaling that of the Az-! tecs to the north of them. The Mayas were subjected by the Spaniards and their cities were de- serted. Eventually North American and European archeologists found traces of them and began explora-, tion, but their progress through the‘. wild country was pitifully slow. | With the airplane, Col. Lindber,a/ and Dr. Ricketson expect to find long forgotten cities hitherto ua- known. seen contours of the earth’s surface that elude the most diligent ob—{ server on the.ground. Even in England aerial observers have fouud ancient Roman mounds that had escaped searchers for centuries. Col. Lindbergh {lew over numer- ous ruins on his first good-wiil flight to Latin-America and was attracted by them. His interest u.! archeology was heightened lac<t| summor when he made aerial pte- tographic - studies of Pueblo ruins in New Mexico. The flight is sponsored by the Carnegie institution of Washing- ton and Pan-American Airways, Inc, of New York. The aviatioa| company announces that photo-| graphs of ruined cities, and map- ping of their location by compass, will enable land parties to explore !them in much less time than would ibe required in a blind search.

Probably the most important is- sue is presented by the federal ra- dio commission, a comparatively new gevernment ‘body which has not had its powers defined by the highest tribunal. The question is important for broadcasting stations as well as fr the public.

The station ap- pealed to the District of Colum- bia court and received an order under which it has continued to operate on a full-time basis. The commission petitioned for a re- view. Prohibition cases which formerly occupied numerous places on the docket, have fallen off consider- ably as nearly every ramification of the dry laws has been disposed of by opinion or by the refusal cf the court to grant petitions for view. There are several controversies between states. . The state of New Jersey seeks to prevent New York from tapping the headwaters f the Delaware river and from dump- ing refuse into the Atlantic off the New Jersey shore, and also asks the boundary line with Delaware be changed to mid-channel of the Delaware river and bay instead of at the low water mark on the Jer- sey shore.

PURGHASERS OF LIQUOR MAY BE PROSECUTEDNOW Bill Introduced by Senator —Would Nullify Vol- stead Act, Claim WASHINGTON, Oct. 8—A move to make liquor purchasers liable to prosecution as Prohibition vio- lators is described by the Associa- tion Against the Prohibition Amendment as one which would nullify the Eighteenth Amendment. This is the view set forth in a statement by Henry Curran, Pres- ident of the Association, comment- ing on the bill introduced by Sen- ator Sheppard, Democrat of Texas, to declare buyers equally guilty the manufacturers or sellers. “Congress left such a thing out of the Eighteenth Amendment de- liberately. Congress cannot put it out nullifying the amendmentupon which the Volstead Act is based,” Curran said. Senator Sheppard said the pro- posal was left out. because belief existed the act would not be pass- ed with such a clause.

Howard Ehmke, veteran right hander of the Athletics, justified his unexpected selection by Mana- ger Connie Mack.

Tesgue champions registered eigl: suteties, one a two-bagger off him, Emhke had the Cub sluggers eating out of his hand like trained bears rather than like the wild crew that walked off with the honors in the National League. He set a new World Se- ries’ record by striking cut 13 men. And he didn't pick the easy ones in making this mark. He opened the second inning by retiring Riggs Stephenson and Hazen Cuyler on strikes. He kept that pace up i the third when the Cubs loomed dangerous. Root opened for them by fan- ning. McMillan singled to center- field. English smashed the pill to the right garden for two bases and 50,000 Cub partisans shook the stands as McMillan drew up at third and English at second. Fans Great Hornsby Things didn't look any too rosy for Ehmke and Connie Mack’s crew with Hornsby and Hack Wwil- son next in line. But Ehmke was equal to the task. He fanned Hornsby for the second out. And Wilson, who with Hornsby has been among the most feared batters on . the Cub club, likewise was retired on strikes. To show it wasn't a flash in the pan, Ehmke opened the fourth frame by fanning Cuyler. The Athletic pitcher was at top form in the fifth and sixth frames - {when he retired five men on strikes. Root was the first vietim to his cunning, the second out in the fifth. McMillan succumbed in the same manner, ending the inning. English opened the sixth and met the same fate.
