(P) The crowds at Minos field, after a week of twisting their heads sky wards, have found a new sport and they call it "celebrity hunting." So spontaneous was Its popularity among the throng yesterday that It almost threw the national air races out of gear. Mut oven though it nearly spoiled a few perfectly good air races, the hunt itself was successful and the end of the day saw some prize game in the lmg. The catch was Colonel Charles Lindbergh of New York-Paris flighl' fame, Colonel Art Goebei, winner of the Dole race to Ha waii from San Francisco and hold er of the non-stop transcontinental air record, Captain Lowell Smith, leader of the army's historic round the world flight, George Haldc- mnn, pilot of Umh Elder's irans At Inn tic plane; Ilnlh Klder, her self, and her flying contemporary and the first successful woman trans-Atlantic flier, Miss Amelia Enrhnrl. To this may be :n).l.,l the Co lumbia, l:ctl.-im-a ship in whir-It Le vi uc n ud Chamberhiiu flew from New York to Germany, and the Yankee Doodle, Lockheed-Vega monoplane which raced from Los Angeles to New York a few weeks ago in the record lime of 18 hours and I8 minutes. This coterie of famous fliers and 1he two airplanes all were found on Mines field by the crowd yes terday and when I hey found who Was amongst them, Interest In ihe races lagged sadly. ' The day was not without! ts other thrills and hopes, too. Col onel Lindbergh took the lead again in piloting the "Three Musketeers," famed army stunt fliers, in a suc cession of remarkable stunt feats. Added to this the crowd watched a 2fkO-pound plane, so small that it seemed almost impossible of flight, win a liO-milc race at a speed of 340 miles per -hour. It was powered by a two-cylinder motor. As to "hopes." that angle of the day's events concerned three pilots rather than the crowd. While the air celebrities roamed the grounds a committee of the races went in to a conference to determine what to do with $22,500 In prizes. MEMPHIS, Tenn., Sept. 15. (JP) Miss Rosebud Sykes, 26, daugh ter of a prominent Mississippi fam ily, was at the point of death with a bullet wound in her breast here today, and Benny Allen, 22-year-old nogro ,wos in jail, having confessed, police said, to shooting the woman when she resisted his advances during a holdup.

(P) A tornado which yesterday after noon mowed a narrow sua lb thru the Hock ford Industrial section and the nearby countryside today was known to have crushed seven persons to death and resulted In property damage estimated at $-1,000,000. Fifteen persons out of more than one hundred .employed in t lie factories 'bowled over, silll were missing and thirty-four were In hospitals seriously hurt while others less seriously injured had been removed to their homes." Those missing are believed to be hurled under tons of debris of two furniture fnetortes in the path of the storm and their names were singled out by cheeking the payroll lists of the plants with the list of survivors. A possibility that some of the missing still may be alive in their prison of wreckage devel oped early today. Keseuors working at the demol ished plants ordered the hundreds of spectators, among them scores of relatives of the missing work men, to remain silent while they shouted inquiries into Ihe debris. Some of the workers said they heard faint cries In reply. The rescue work was proceeding slowly due to . the gigantic task facing the workers who were forced do tear apart the .factory buildings hit by hit, emit ic us not to allow Ihe wreckage to fall fur ther and crush, any of the missing who moy still be alive. The list of known dead was in creased to seven today when S. Swenson, -10, employe of the Union Furniture company, died, in a hos pital. ThW plant, with the "U" plant of the Rockford Chair and furniture company, ' was hardest hit by thfl storm. The tornado struck along a three mile strip, demolishing two fac tories in which several hundred men were ot work and destroying many homes. ' 4 PORTLAND. Ore.. Sept. 15. (P) Wholesale Prices.

Heart weakness has compelled Mr. Taft to abandon at Murray Hay, as it has at Washing Ion, all vigorous physical exercise, but. thai does not preclude him from calling upon his friends or wandering freely through Ihe set tlement, where his familiar Ngure is well known. At, Washington, yielding rather reluctantly to the advice of physl eiims, the chief justice follows n strict diet and has adopted a dally routine which has not only permit ted him to transact even a greater volume of business than ever be fore, bill lias also assured him of the rest and sleep so much needed for recuperation.
