Williams was picked up by police here on a warrant from Nashville and Police Chief Cleon Cramer received notice by wire that officers were starting from Nashville. Shortly after the telegram was received, two deputies walked into police headquarters here and nounced they had come after Burns. It turned out that these officers were from Shelbyville in another county of Tennessee, and that they also had a warrant for Burns.

BLAKESLEE NEW YORK-(P)-Twenty Collars worth of silver iodide smoke caused two small clouds in New Mexico last summer to dump more than enough water to fill New York City's reservoirs, if completely empty. All this-320 billion gallons- -came in one day from one, possibly two, small clouds 25 miles south of Albuquerque. The rainstorm traveled 150 miles. Storms Traced to Experiment In the same period a rainstorm that travelled across New Mexico, Colorado, Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas was possibly larger due to silved iodide smoke geenrated on the ground near Albuquerque on four days from July 20 to 23. The rain making reports were made by Dr.
Irving Langmuir, of the General Electric to the Institute of the Aeronautical Sciences. Dr. Langmuir holds that silver iodide smoke or dry ice can make useful rain. The U. S.
weather bureau has reported the rains so far made were not useful, and might have fallen anyhow. Differ on Causes, Results Langmuir said that the weather experts admitted that last July's rain, and also one created in New Mexico in the fall of 1948, may have added up to 10 percent more rainfall from clouds that would have, calculations rained anyhow. that Langmuir's today were most of the rain was man-made. He told of some new ways to make rain and said that he believes they will work in a fairly dry climate like New Mexico and Arizona. Using those methods he said there is a in three chance of rain falling heavily at any one place in one day in New Mexico.
He said the cost of producing this much would be one dollar's worth of silver iodide smoke for each 40,000 square miles. Cost Would Be Nominal If, he added. similar conditions prevailed throughout the United States, the nation's rainfall could be doubled at a cost of only about $100. But you must hit the particular key spot in the cloud, or it won't rain. And you can overdo, which prevents instead of starts a rainstorm.
The rainmaker, said Langmuir, is playing with a force than atom bombs. Two cents worth of silver smoke can produce as much heat as one atom bomb. This heat comes from the freezing of water droplets- which give up heat. Explains Rain-Making Secret Handling this tremendous heat right, Dr. Langmuir said, is the secret of his theory of He said weather predictors have been ignoring the nuclei, like smoke particles, which can cause this heat liberation and which are always present naturally.
Their amount differs from time to time and be used to fortell both spells and rain. One new trick is to stay outside a cloud shoot at it with a very pistol. This is a military pistol which shoots a blazing light. You can fly alongside a cloud and shoot it. Langmuir said, if you know the time and place.
Calculating either is difficult. Or you can take your wife's hair net and fill it with dry ice, then fly over the top of a cloud, trailing the hair net on a rope. The has to drag through the top layer of cloud. This is a good way of dispelling a possible rainstorm. Again to tell when and where is difficult.
All this adds up, Langmuir said, to the most important fact about rain-making, that the disturbance has to be started in one small part of a cloud, a part that is ready to be triggered. Just one or two pellets of dry ice are enough if they happen to drop into the right part of a cumulous cloud. SAVES PAIL OF FISH MT. CLEMENS (U.P.) Walter Zuilowski, Detroit, is a stubborn man. He fell through the thin ice into five feet of cold water while fishing on Lake St.
Clair. But he held on to his pail of fish. Shivering and with teeth chattering, he waded 300 yards to clutching the precious pail.

Prosecutor Joseph Killian said he did not believe the "confession" but would explore all angles of the case. Coroner Orders Exhumation Coroner Louis Kerlikowski signed an order for the exhumation and called a coroner's inquest on petition of Sheriff Erwin H. Kubath.
Conklin, an unemployed cemetery worker. told Battle Creek police where he asked for lodging Wednesday night that "I killed my mother in Benton Harbor year before last. She WAS out of her head and cranky." The mother. Mrs. Jennie Conrad.
72-year-old widow, died in the St. Joseph infirmary Aug. 17. 1948. Dr.
William Rosenburg, Veterans Administration physician at Grand Rapids, signed then death certificate but told officials couldn't recall the case. The certificate gave the cause of death as cerebral hemorrhage. Killian said Conklin is an avid detective story reader. "He said he poisoned his mother with a spoonful of arsenic 32 days before she died in the infirmary," Killian said. "But there are several other symptoms of arsenic poisoning, besides vomiting, which he described, and said she didn't have any of the other symptoms," Killian said.

Kelly, left, was secretary of state w. when John Mustard of Battle Creek (right) first came to know him. In Mr. Kelly's terms as governor, Mr. Mustard had close relations with him as a member of the land board.
When they met at the governor's Post Tavern room yesterday before a Kelly-for-Governor estate club organization meeting, they had much in common to discuss. Discussion Planned On Sprinkler Rates Edward Hilton of the National Automatic Sprinkler Fire Control association suggested to representatives of 22 Battle Creek business firms last night that they air their objections to city water rates charged for automatic fire protection systems to city officials. Mr. Hilton addressed a public meeting at the Post Tavern, sponsored by the Viking Corp. of Hastings and the Battle Creek Chamber of Commerce.
The matter of the rates for sprinkler system connections will be taken up with Mayor Bailey by municipal affairs committee of the local chamber. The city began charging the "stand-by service" rates on Aug. 1, 1948. with monthly charges to 1 buildings graded according to the size of the water pipe connecting to the system. Rates range from $1 a month for a twoinch pipe $27.50 a month for 10- inch lead-ins.
-In The rate for private hydrants buildings is $40 a year. Owners of buildings having automatic sprinkler fire protection systems make substantial savings in fire insurance. Mr. Hilton said he would make available to the chamber committee, a list of such rates charged by other cities of comparable size to Battle Creek in various locales in the nation. Before introducing Mr.
Hilton, Rudolph Habermann, secretary of the Chamber of Commerce, reviewed the efforts the chamber has been making to get a hearing on the rates with city officials.

Eleanor Roosevelt says she doesn't believe anyone can question the verdict of the court sentencing Alger Hiss to years in a federal penitentiary for perjury. "We believe that we have set up the best system under which to obtain justice that can exist in your own country," Mrs. Roosevelt said in her column which appeared in the New York World-Telegram. "Trial by your peers is supposed to be the last word in safeguarding the innocent," Mrs. Roosevelt said.
"So how can anyone of us question it? "There is one more safeguardappeal, and Mr. Hiss' counsel has announced he is going to appeal. He must believe in his client's innocence and in the ultimate triumph of truth. "Whittaker Chambers, as I understand it, has confessed to all the sins of which he accused Mr. Hiss, including perjury, but if you are a witness for the government, you are exempt, of course, from punishment."
