Nelson's plane crashed last Mon day while he was flying the mail from Bellefonte, Pa., to Cleveland when he became lost in a blinding snowstorm that swept the route. The discovery of the bods' and plane ends one of the largest and most intensive searches ever held for a lost pilot. Lindbergh Aids. More than 20 old-time pilots, led by Col. Charles A. Lindbergh, had covered more than 150 miles of terT ritory since Nelson was reported lost. The body, thrown clear of the plane wreckage, was found by a hunter. The wreckage lay hidden in a ravine approximately 30 feet from a main highway along which hundreds of automobiles pass daily. Was Old-Line Pilot.

Several hundred men were searching woods near here Thursday night for an unidentified negro claimed to have slashed and attempted to attack a thirteen year old school girl. Altho her tongue was slashed by the negro, the girl was able to tell officers that the negro wavlaid her Thursday as she was walking home from school and stabbed her.

We will 3ANK SUIT TEST CASE BEFORE COURT Lincoln. Dec. F. A suit to de termine the manner of payment to Nebraska bank depositors from a $260,000 fund appropriated for thouc who had accounts in banks operated as going concerns, was presented in district court Thursday. Assistant. Attorney General Ay res appeared on behalf of Governor Weaver and th state. Formal arguments will be presented to the court Saturdas". James B. Rowe, 27, who sas's he is a taxi driver from Kansas City, was identified Friday at Omaha by two tellers of the Farmers and Merchants bank, Benson, as one of the six ban dits who held up the bank Nov. 14, escaping with more than ?15,000. Rowe was captured through efforts of Thomas O'Leary, a William J. Burns Detective agencs' operative from Kansas Cits. A woman scorned gave the tip that led to Rowe's arrest. O'Leary said. The woman telephoned the bank tip ping off Rowe's hiding place, and the bank informed the Burns Detec tive agencs' in Kansas City, but didn't pass the information on to Omaha police. In Rowe's room. O'lary said, was found a very endearing letter from an Omaha woman. Whether this let ter is from the same woman who tip ped off the bank ,or from some other. detectives are in doubt. O'Leary said he believes the other five in the ban dit gang have left Omaha, but Rowe remained for some reason. May Know Gang. The woman letter writer, O'Leary I said, mas' know the reason, and the j identity of some others of the bandit j William S. Ilinz and Harry B. j .1 Golden picked out Rowe in 12 men on a "showup" Friday morning. They declared they know positivels" that Rowe is one of the four bandits in the bank, by his face, voice and manner. County Attorney Henry Beal said their identification, with a half doz en bits of other evidence, is sufficient to justify robbery charges being brcught against Rowe. Rowe, who roomed at 3326 Har ney street, was asleep in bed. with his hands under the covers, the de tectives said. They commanded him to throw up his hands. They pulled back the covers, and discovered Rowe was fulls' clothed, with an old .44 revolver under his felt and a new .4 5 under bis pillow. From the wall of the Benson bank one of the two bullets fired there was extracted. Inspector Ben F. Dan baum said, and compared with bul lets fired from Rowe's .15. Danbaum and O'Leary declare the groovings on the bullets are the same, indicating the bullet in the Benson bank was fired from Rowe's gun. Handkerchief Found. A bloodstained handkerchief found in the bandit car was the same kind of handkerchief that Rowe carried. Daubaum said, and a bloodstained hat believed to have been abandoned bs the bandit crowd when they un loaded their guns in an alley behind the Sanitary laundry. 2S15 Farnam street, fits Rowe perfectly. Rowe declared he is a sort of drifter and had the guns because a friend gave them to him to keep. Mrs. Ruth Beal. 3336 Harney street, Omaha, who operates the rooming house where Rowe was ar rested, Friday denied any knowledge of Rowe. except as being a roomer at her home. "Rowe rented a room at my home early in May and lived here ever since. "I do not remember the date of the Benson bank robbers', but my daughter, Dorothy, 13, said she remembers Rowe was home all day on the day of the rob bers'. "We were talking about the case Thursday night, and Doro they said she is positive Rowe was home the da yof the rob bers', as she was sick, and he sat on a davenport and listened to the radio with her most of the day." Rowe denies he had anything to do with the Benson robbery, but came to Omaha "just drifting around." tmOml v.. HJl III nmrfpa r 2:00 P.

Read the Journal Want Ads. Dairy Heads Ask Separate State Bureau Present Arrangement Brings Indus try Under Department o Agriculture Rulings Lincoln. Dec. 6. Nebraska co-op erative creamy interests repeated their request Friday to Governor Weaver for the establishment of a separate state dairy bureau. Dissatisfied with the present ar rangement whereby this indsutry comes under the scope of the Depart ment of Agriculture, the dairymen first broached the idea to Governor "Weaver about six months ago, George O'Malley of Greeley, secretary of the state co-operative association said. "Ho stated then he was sym pathetic with the proposal and indicated that he would give' it serious consideration when com plete data is presented to him," Mr. O'Malley announced. Is Third Largest. Under the prevailing system, the former declared, inspection and regu lation of co-operative creameries Is placed in the hands of inspectors of the pure food and drug department who also carry on inspections of druy stores, cafes, hotels and markets. " "With diarying the third larg est industry in the state," Mr. O'Malley commented, "it Is no more than right that It should be given recognition and super vision under a separate bureau at the state capitol." ! Inspection and regulation, he ex plained, would be conducted without the slightest increase in expense, but would be self-sustaining upon an in spection fee basis. $50,760,000 Per Year. It is upon this basis, Mr. O'Malley stated, that the inspection and regu lation service is now operated under the department of agriculture. Dairying interests in 1928, he ad ded, netted $50,760,000 to the state. and the financial returns in 1929 will exceed that amount by $10,000,000. "This industry is second only to agriculture and livestock," he declared. Establishment of a dairy bureau Mr. O'Malley stated, could handily be made by the governor without the authoritv of legislative action. Oma ha Bee-News.
