DISTRICT ATTORNEY INDICTED Mobile Prosecutor Resigned Fol- lowing Demand for Liquor “‘Clean-up.” B5 the Associated Press. MOBILE, Ala., May nouncement in the Aubrey Boyles case came today when an indictment charging the former United States dis- trict attorney with ‘possession and transportation of liquor™” was returned in_Federal Court. Reading of the indictment followed swiftly upon the filing of a recom- mendation by the grand jury, which rested its labors Wednesday night, asking that the district attorney’'s office be thoroughly “‘cleaned out” and the entire force, except the clerical staff, be reorganized. And even be. fore this sensational development came the announcement that Boyles, the storm center of one of the most bitter controversies ever known in Mobile, had resigned his job even be- ;(;re he knew of the indictment against im. These developments, together with the filing in Federal Court of an order wherein Tederal Judge Irvin recuses himself in the citation against Boyles to “‘show cause” why he should not be ousted as an attorney before the court and the arrival here of Syl- vester R. Rush to take charge of the local situation, marked the end of one chapter in the case, which has held public interest at high pitch. Specifically the indictment against Boyles charges “on or about May 21, 1923,” Boyles took “four quarts of liquor” from the storeroom in the Federal building, “with the intent to dispose of it to a person or persons to the grand jury unknown.” A caplas immediately was served on Boyles, who was released on $10,000 bond.

LAUD WORLD WAR HEROES TODAY SERVICES IN CEMETERIES ABROAD! Plots in France, Belgium and Great Britain, Where Lie 30,000 Soldiers, Have Been Greatly Beau- tified With Shrubbery and Marble. " By the Associated Press. Decoration day this vear finds America’s eight overseas “IFields of Honor,” those in France, Belgium and Great Britain where more than 30,000 soldiers of the World War lie in rest, practically completed. Except for the substitution of mar- ble crosses for the white painted wood- en markers, the natural growth of trees, shrubs and lawns and the finish- ing of chapel projects, the cemeteries already have taken on appearances of beauty and permanence indicative of the care bestowed by a grateful gov- ernment and people. It is to these American possessions in foreign lands, spread over a total of 256 acres of planted white crosses, that the footsteps of thousands will lead today. Not only will the pil- grimages include the hosts of Ameri- cans residing in those countries, but remembering friends and officlals of the three allied nations will swell the procession. Rites in Cemeteries. Decoration day exercises in honor of the dead in each of the cemeteries begin today in accordance with plans drafted by the general committee on Army and Navy chaplains. These provide for special services in the churches of Great Britain, France and Belgium, presided over by American clergymen, and for continued religiouslaid down their Ii | i and partriotic observances at the ob ze.rv‘ncn at the cemeteries on Mon- | ¥ A word plcture of the American “Fields of Honor” in Europe. drawn in the form of an official report to the | War Department by a group of in- vestigators, has just been released by Secretary Davis.

Bumstead, Inventor of ; Sun Compass, Tells of Co- 1 operation by Byrd. ! The spirit of co-operation that ani- i mated fhe rival polar explorers was {llustrated last night in an address at the National Press Club on the Byrd and Amundsen expeditions, by Albert H. Bumstead, chief photographer of the National Geographic Society. | Mr. Bumstead, who is the inventor of the sun compass, pointed out that Byrd used this new instrument on his | polar flight and immediately on his return Joaned it to Amundsen in order that the rival Norge and its crew might be the first air expedition to | cross from Kurope to the North American continent across the top of the world. The magnetic compass invented by the Chinese centuries ago and in use today by sea navigators is useless for aerial navigation, particularly near the Poles. The magnetic compass, accord- ing to the speaker, functions satis- factorily only when kept level. This is also impossible in aircraft. Mr. Bumstead, in describing the sun compass, explained that at the North Pole the sun circles the sky regularly -|once in 24 hours all Summer. A watch can be made with a single hand and regulated to move that hand around its dial at the rate of once in 24 hours. Such a watch can be laid flat at the Pole with the noon mark of its dial pointed toward Kings Bay and with the hour hand pointed toward the sun. The hand follows the sun around the sky so long as the noon mark was kept pointed toward Kings Bay. And conversely 80 long as the hand was tion pictures of the actual departure and return of the Byrd flight and the preparations and departure of the Amundsen expedition. —_— Capt. Kraus Ordered Here.
