Pilot Missing
After Mystery
Air Explosion
Needles, Cal., Sep.t 3.—Dazed and
near a collapse, Ward Miller, 25, air-
plane mechanic, was found wandering
in the desert wastes near here Tues-
day with a story that hinted of trage-
dy for the speed race Major John
Wood began from Los Angeles to
Cleveland early Monday.
Miller, who was accompanying
Major Wood, told an old prospector
who found him, that all he was able
to remember was an explosion which
hurled him from the i*oaring airplane
and then lapsing into unconsciousness
just as he pulled the rtpcord on the
parachute /trapped to his back.
When he regained his senses, Miller
said, he found himself prostrate on a
desert waste. As he wandered about,
he saw bits of the wing of an airplane,
but he could find no trace of Major
Wood nor other parts of the ship.
The finding of Miller provided the
first intimation of the fate of the
flyers who had not been heard from
for nearly thirty-six hours. Miller
was riding in the cabin of the ship,
pumping gasoline to the motor.

for a hearing on a new sanity trial
for Henry Helms, sentenced to be ex-
ecuted Sept. 6 for his participation

While removing some bananas from
a big bunch which had just come in
Tuesday, G. L. Brogoitti, manager of
the A. & P. Store, found a huge tar-
ntula, which was just ready to leap
upon him. The insect was an enor-
mous one, which Mr. Brogoitti suc-
ceeded in getting into a large glass
jar, and will preserve him in alcohol.

from Central America is said to be
very poisonous,

BURGLAR’S ROLE LOOTS
RESIDENCES OF WEALTHY
Mount Vernon, N. Y., Sept. 3.—A
monkey trained as a burglar was
sought by police Tuesday as the loot-
er of wealthy homes in Westchester
County.
This theory was advanced because
of the absence of fingerprints and the
lack of noise. Five homes in Mount
Vernon were entered Monday, but
only $25 taken, mostly in pennies and
dimes. Entrance in each case was
made by removing window’ screens in
