September Posses today intensified their search for a little whité girl kidnaped by, a negro who presumably killed another negro in order to get an automobile for the abduction. Apparently having planned to kidnap the niece of a wealthy banker, the fugitive seems to have found that he abducted the wrong girl. The kidnaping plot, police believ was aimed against Joseph A.Bower, vice president of the New York Trust , whose ar-old niece, Dorothy Coates, was visiting him. Instead, the negro grabbed Mary Daly, 6, daughter of David S. Daly, hardware merchant, who was playing in front of the Bower home yesterday afternoon.

CHICAGO, September 5.—Cooling zephyrs sweeping out of the Canadian Northwest today were forecast as a vanguard of the stormy forces of Jupi- ter Pluvius, bringing an easing within a day or so of the scorching grasp of Old Sol on the Middle West, Lower Lake region and the South. A foretaste of the long-awaited showers has come to parts of North Dakota, lowa and Wisconsin, but elsewhere record high temperatures have brought deaths, drought, damage and suffering. Month Drought Ended. More than a month of aridity was broken when a quarter inch of rain fell in Fargo, N. Dak. High winds and hail accompanied the downpour in Grinnell, Towa, causing property dam- age of $40,000, while damage of $10 occurred ‘near Chippewa Fall in an electrical storm after a wave Elsewhere in the heat-swept areas, however, temperatures above the hun dred mark broke Weather Bureau records of years. Harrisburg, in southern Illinois, reported a maximum of 108, with Augusta, Ga., a close sec- ond with 106. Most of Towa, except parts touched by storms, was a seething furnace. Sheldon experienced 106 for seven hours vesterday. Des Moines’ highest v 97, with several prostrations. Showers in Des Moines only increased the humidity.

Col. Clarence O. {rill. This new legislation is designed |to replace the old condemnation meth- lod whereby the District took the land |under condemnation proceedings and |paid for it by assessing the damages as benefits to the abutting property and adjacent properties within several squares. The proposed legislation is the idea of Melvin Hazen, District surveyor, and a member of the city and park planning committee, which, according |to Col. Sherrill, has done a remarkable | piece of city and park planning work for the District of Columbin in the few sessions that it has held. Plans Kept Secret. Col. Sherrill said that he had ju: gone over in detail the work and rec- ommendations of the new committee, and classes it one of the finest pieces of development planning that had ever been prepared for the Na- tional Capital. Unfortunately, he safd, the plans cannot be made public at this time, because they involve the purchase of certain properties and it is the desire to wa until the negotia. tions are completed to prevent them from falling into the hands of specu- lators, whick would result in a more costly purchase to the Government. The mere planning of the |and highways does not constitute the {most important work of the commit. |tee, according to Col. Sherrill. One |of the big things they are doing is the |calling into the conferences of prop- lerty owners and others interested round any project they are working |out, and getting their consent to the plans. In this manner, all possible antagonism will be wiped out when the park commission starts to put the plans into effect. Property own- 's have been consulted as to chang- ing grades, front parkings, street and |sidewalk widths, et Triumph of Co-Operation. The present committee is one of the greatest examples of Government co- ordination on any according to Col. Sherrill.

ATLANTA, Ga., September 5.—A force of convicts began digsing on the banks of the Chattahoochee River near Bolton today in an effort to find traces of the bodies of two unidentified women, who W. C. Parris of New Hol- land says he saw murdered and their bodies buried there in the Summer of |1920. The investigation ordered by 'Solici- tor General John A.

LONDON, September 5 () —Forty acres of land in the busy West End of London have been sold by Lord Howard de Walden for a price said to be in excess of £4,000,000 ($19,200,000), making it one of the largest land'deals in the history of London. The property takes in several busi- ness streets and is part of the original tract of land owned by the ancestors of Lord Howard de Waldren, who was once a member of the select group of seven men who owned the entire city of London. \ The “city” here evidently refers to the ancient section of London, now the commercial center of Greater Lon- also had a_holiday.

Except in St. Louis, where the fourth death during the torrid wave was recorded yesterday, the area singularly has been free of fatalities. Chicago’s congested population sought refuge on Lake Michigan beaches, and slight breezes blowing from the lake brought some relief to stay-at-homes.

By the Associated Press. LONDON, September 5.—The Daily Express says that the art treasures of the famous palace on the Island of Corfu, owned by William Hohen- zollern when he was emperor of Germany, are to be sold at auction by the Greek zovernment, which ac- quired the property during the war. The articles to be sold include hundreds of pictures, statues and intimate relics of the ex-Kaiser and his family, as well as of the late Empress Elizabeth of Austria, who built and furnished the palace. The ex-Kaiser's crested silyerware, canes, books, bed, desk and dining room suite will be put up for the highest bidder. Several attempts have been made to purchase the property and turn it into a Monte Carlo, but these efforts failed because of the price de- manded by Greece. The sale will begin late this month and_will last several weeks.
