America's first power alcohol plant is producing new fuel for motor cars. Two batches of anhydrous ethyl alcohol made from corn, totaling 2,000 gallons, have poured from the stills of the Chemical Foundation-sponsore- d plant of the Bailor Manufacturing company here. Officials expressed themselves as pleased with the performance of tne new plant and predicted that in month the capacity of 10.000 gallons a day would be realized. Alcohol blended gasoline under the name of agrol will be on sale shortly in seven midwestern states at prices that will compete on a quality basis with straight gasoline fuels. , ; Outlet for Surpluses. The production of power alcohol from surplus farm products In this plant is being watched by leaders in agriculture, the oil industry and other fields, including government, because it is a practical demonstration of the Farm Chemurgic Council's thesis that crops from American soil can be utilized for manufacture of industrial materials. The Atchison plant also produces butyl as well as ethyl alcohol and as a valuable evaporates the spent mash into a protein feed for stock. The butyl alcohol is used in connection with the ethyl alcohol production. The ethyl alchol, the same stuff that gives the kick to liquor, is used blended with gasoline to produce motor fuel. The whole output of the Bailor plant is being taken by the Chemical Foundation of Kansas for distribution at a price not to exceed 25 cents a gallon. At the plant the alcohol is denatured and then blended with an equal volume of a petroleum to make what is called "agrol fluid. This blend will be used by filling station operators to make three grades of agrol gasoline, known as agrol S, agrol 10 and agrol IS. These numbers indicate the quantity of alcohol of the standard blends when 60 octane gasoline is taken as the base fuel. If the filling sta tion uses higher octane gasoline, less agrol fluid is needed, and if lower octane gasoline is the base, more agrol fluid is blended.

Particularly thick masses of them cut off light from distant stars, making the dark nebulae, or "coal sacks," that have proved so puzzling and tantalizing to astronomers. , Gigantic Model of "OF Man River" Is Used in Flood Study NIAGARA FALLS.

Holy Land Crusader's Prison to Be Explored MUNICH. The castle where King Richard the was imprisoned when he returned from crusading in the Holy Land, now only an imposing ruin, is to be excavated and restored as a part of an extensive project for the investigation of some of the historic castle ruins in the Rhenish palatinate, undertaken by the German state of Bavaria. Lion-Heart- ed This castle, still known by its ancient name of Trifels, came into the possession of the German emperor, Heinrich IV, in the year 1081. During the reign of Henry VI it was rebuilt and extended; it was in this renovated castle that the famous English king was im- prisoned.

The result was inevitable, under the circumstances. Federal bureau of investigation agents have been accused of shooting him in the back, in "cold blood." There were rumors among critics of the bureau that Floyd fell on his knees and begged for mercy as ruthless agents poured lead into his body. It has been reported Floyd repeatedly offered to surrender before caught up with him, but that J. Edgar Hoover rejected the offers and ordered his men to "kill Floyd on sight" There is no doubt there was considerable sympathy in scattered places for this notorious outlaw and killer from the Cookson hills. Yet this was the man who cooly turned a "tommy" gun on F. B. I. agents and police in the Kansas City union station massacre, and then cut four more notches on his "lucky piece" fob and watch; and who killed, kidnaped and plundered his way to the top of the list of public enemies. The record of Floyd's crimes provides a gory chapter in the books of the federal bureau of investigation. Finis was written to that story when a squad of F. B. I. agents and police shot Floyd fatally in an Ohio corn field on the afternoon of October 22, 1934. The true details of that shooting and the events immediately preceding it have been unfolded to me by the F. B. I., so that the public may judge whether Floyd's death was "justified." Hoover's men began their hunt for "Pretty Boy" after the ambush ing of four officers and their prisoner, Frank Nash, early on the morning of June 17, 1933, as they arrived in Kansas City. Mo., from Hot Springs, Ark., Vhere they had captured Nash. When the officers started to get into waiting automobiles in front of the station, three men opened fire with machine guns, killing Special Agent Raymond Caffrey, Chief of Police Otto Reed of McAIester, Okla., and Detectives Hermanson and Grooms of the Kansas City police. Nash was killed also, in the cross-firEyewitnesses picked a photograph of Floyd as that of one of the killers. It was learned, moreover, that Floyd and his pal, Adam Rich-ett- i, had driven into Kansas City the previous night in the car of a salesman whom they had kidnaped, after abandoning a stolen car in which they had kidnaped the Sheriff of Bolivar, Mo. of police in various parts of the country was enlisted in the hunt for Floyd and Richetti. Months passed. Floyd was reported in nearly all parts of the often at the same time. country All tips and leads, however minor, were run down by the tireless agents. Here are the facts on Floyd's offers to surrender. An emissary of Floyd relayed to Hoover what he claimed was a message from the fugitive, the emissary explained he did not know where Floyd was, but that "Pretty Boy" was willing to "consider" giving himself up if the government would promise not to send him to the electric chair. Hoover sent word back to Floyd that such a proposition was out of the question, that he and his men intended to make Floyd, sooner or later, pay the full penalty of the law for the merciless massacre at n e. City. Hoover ordered his men to intensify their hunt for Floyd and Richetti, but it can be said definitely that at no time were "shoot on sight" or "shoot to kill" orders issued to by Hoover. During this time, Floyd and Richetti, with two girls who had been in shooting scrapes with them in Ohio in years past, had been hiding out in a respectable apartment house in Buffalo, N. Y. The men seldom ventured out of the apartment. Neighbors afterward said they often heard someone walking up and down the floor at night, as though pacing restlessly. After staying in Buffalo more than a year, the pair grew increas ingly restless and decided to venture back to their native Oklahoma hills. With the girls they set out from Buffalo about the middle of Octocar. ber, 1934, in a They headed first for Ohio, where Richetti's "connections" lived. Floyd and Richetti alternated at the wheel. Floyd was driving through a rainstorm on the outskirts of Wellsville, Ohio, early on the morning of October 20, when the car 6kidded into a telephone pole. Floyd and Richetti took their guns and baggage out of the car and sent the girls into Wellsville to have repairs made to the car, which was not seriously damaged. A resident of the community several hours later saw Floyd and Richetti lying on the grass in a field not far from the scene of the accident. He thought they were tramps, and telephoned to police headquarters at Wellsville. When the police officers appeared, in civilian clothes, Richetti was asleep on the grass and Floyd was seated near him. Floyd jumped up, leveled a pistol at the officer and ordered the latter to "stick 'em up." The police officer pretended we was a workman en route to a nearby factory, but Floyd refused to accept the explanation and called to Richetti, who had awakened, to "let him have it." A brief gun battle ensued, with Richetti and Floyd running down a hill. None of the bullets took effect, but Richetti, having emptied his gun, surrendered. Floyd escaped into the woods. Still believing his captive was a tramp, the officer took Richetti to the police station, where he gave a fictitious name and identified Floyd as "Joe Warren," of Toledo. Sheriff Long, of Steubenville, who had become familiar with Richetti's appearance through photographs supplied by the dropped in the Wellsville police station on another matter while Richetti was being questioned. He recognized him immediately and called him by name. Richetti thereupon admitted his identity. The Wellsville officer then identified Richetti's companion as Floyd. Sheriff Long notified the Cincinnati office of the F. B. I. and the federal forces promptly swung into action. Inspector Samuel P. Cowley was in the vicinity in connection with the Stoll kidnaping investigation. Special agents proceeded to the East Liverpool airport by plane, where Sheriff Long met them. East Liverpool police were enlisted in the manhunt. Woods were searched and roads blocked. Learning that a man answering Floyd's description had asked for lunch at a farmhouse near East Liverpool, the F. B. I. agents and East Liverpool officers proceeded to the farm. About 4 p. m. Monday, October 22, 1934, as this squad was making a systematic search of farms in that vicinity, Floyd was seen in an automobile which a farmer was starting to drive from behind a corn crib, on the farm of Mrs. Ellen Conkle. He had asked to be driven to Youngstown. When Floyd spied the officers he ordered the farmer to back the car up behind the crib. Floyd jumped from the car as it backed up, dashed past an outbuilding, across an open field and over a ridge toward nearby woods. The agents and police pursued him and commanded him to surrender. Floyd's response was a gesture of defiance. He may have been thinking of that electric chair. Instead of stopping he whipped out a .45 caliber automatic pistol he was carrying two and chose to fight it out. The agents fired first Floyd was running to seek protection of a dense woods. With his head and shoulders turned toward the officers, he flourished his gun, The agents paused and aimed their guns. They knew that to permit him to gain the woods would give him an advantage which doubtless would result in the loss of the lives of several agents. He fell, mortally wounded, with his pistol, fully loaded, still in his hand. The other pistol, a .45 caliber automatic, was in his belt. An extra clip was in his pocket Floyd was shot at 4:10 p. m. and he died in the Conkle house at 4:25 p. m. He admitted his identi ty Just before he breathed his last He refused to answer further questions. With his dying words he cursed his captors. newly-purchase- d WNU Service, fluence in- will Danube.
