IATI0NAL PARK
AT CRATER LAKE
Medford, Ore., July 11,-A pro
gram for the enlargement and im
provement of ('rater Lako national
park was outlined before n group
of representative Me.dfnrd citizens
at the Klks club here last night
by Stephen A. Mather, director of
the national park service, upon his
return from his first visit to
Diamond lake, following an in
spection of Crater Lake park.
'.Starting today," said Mr.
Mather, "the paving of tho roads
In Crater national park begins,
and with the expenditure of $2119,
000 this season, will mark the dis
appearance of dusty roads In tho
park and tho construction of a
system of paved highways wide
enough for two-way traffic, whlrh
will bo n great boon for the motor
tourist. Work has been started
simultaneously nt the Medford and
Klamath entrances, and with the
roads already constructed to the
park borders by the state nnd
counties, Crater Lake by tho close
of the season will have one of the
host systems of permanent high
ways of any national park in the
count ry.
"I was very favorably Impressed
with Diamond lake and the coun
try surrounding It, and It is iny
plan In have this area Included In
the pnrk area. We do not intend
to fight with the forest servlfe
over this matter, but work lu ro-
perntlnn with them. A committee
has been recently formed In Wash
ington to pn?M upon problems of
lliis sort. I have every confidence
tho matter will be settled satis-
fvctorily to both the park and
forest services, as well ns to tho
people of Oregon. I (tant Crater

anced park, a park which will
hold the tourist longer, and give
him more opportunity for roere-
atlon and tight seeing. I believe
this is what tha people want."

Leaves Note Explaining
Murder of Victim Near
Mineola.
Mincola, N. V. July 11. (A.
P.) A wairant charging Phillip
Knapp, 21-yearc-ld member of a
prominent Syracuse, N. Y., family
with the murder ot Liouis Penella,
Hempstead taxi driver, was issued
today at Hempitf od. Knapp is be
lieved to he in hiding in the Glena
Falls section, pcMce eaid today.
Selection of tho foothills of
northern New York as a hiding
place would be consistent with tho
theory the police have worked out
in connection with the crime. It
is tho locale of Cooper's famo is
novel, "The Last of the Mohicans, '
which Lho Termer Cornell student
wan known to have admired inor
dinately. Mineola, N. Y.. July 11 Having
committed murder to get the super
thrill of his hectic career, in the
opinion of authorities, Phillip
Knnpp, 27 years old, ex-college
benu brummel, deserter from the
army aviation corps ai.d wrecker
of women's hearts, Is being sought
by police.
Like the murder of Bobby
Franks in Chicago in which tha
finding of a pair of glasses In a
swamp led to the intellectual slay
s capture, Knapp a carelessness
started the hunt for him.
Taxi Driver Victim
Knnpp Is accused of picking for
his victim a modest, trusting man,
Lou La Pnnella, Hempstead taxlcab
driver, and father of two children.
Senrchers stumbled ovc a foot
protruding from the ruins of ths
old Camp Mills baflo hospital near
here July 4.
Panella disappeared the previous
night. That same day Knapp had,
obtained a three days leave.
Knnpp, in a note, said he had,
made up his mind to kill becauso
ho had exhausted every other
means to get a quick "kick" out of
life. The note was found in hi
locker. It was addressed to his
father, William W. Knapp, Syra
cuse, N. Y., engineer, and to tha
commnndant of his observation
squadron.
I I end For Thrills
Knnpp battled natives In ths
South American wilds. His skull
was crushed so badly that a steel
plate was Inserted. Ho sailed ths
Houth Pacific. He said ho tried
everything thrilling, automobile
racing, accidents and airplane
crnflhes.
"Hoot legging proved too tame,"
bo wrote. "Anything was welcome
that endangered life."

Syracuse, N. Y., July 11 (AP)
A blow on the head with a war
club In the hands of nn Indian on

tain changed the whole course ot
life for Philip Knapp, youthful
Syracuse boy being sought In con
nection with the murder of Loubj
I'anelln, Mineola taxlcab driver, ao
:ordlng to friends here.
In grammer school and high,
school here local records show
young Knnpp was a brilliant schol

!-'lriihlng his high school course
