Ralph Fleagle of Lamar,
Cp!.f Gang Maintains
Nerve to Last As Penalty
"7 Exacted for Part in Slay
; jng Four in Robbery.
CANON CITY, Colo., July 11
(ff) The Lamar bandit gang to
day was leader less,
Ralph E. Fleagle, gray old wolf
of the pack, was hanged last night
. at the state penitentiary for his
part In the slaying of four men
. and theft of approximately $219,-
000 from the First National bank
of Lamar In May, 1928.
Although obviously making an
; effort to appear composed and
calm as he walked from his cell to
the. execution chamber, Fleagle
displayed no indication of a break
down. Until the time the black
cap was adjusted over hla head
; and the noose tightened around
his neck, the desperado main
tained his coolness and nerve.
. Less than an hour before he
was hanged, Fleagle embraced the
Catholic faith. He was baptized
in his cell by the Hov. Father
JrIs Barrett, prison chaplain, and
received the sacraments of the
church.

Twenty Scientists Beard Weather Lion
In Its Lair Atop Greenland's Ice Caps
UN.MAK, Greenland (TP) Ten
tons of scientific equipment la on
its way to tho 10,000 foot roof of
Greenland's ice cap, the spot re
garded as the "focus" of all cold
weather.
Tho equipment is part of the
supplies of Professor Alfred Lo
thar Wegener's glactologlcal ex
pedition. It goes to a permanent
scientific depot on the tee, said
to be the first ever manned thru
out an arctic winter.
The location is called the "fo
cus" of northern weather because
previous investigations have shown
that winds blow continually out
ward In all directions from Green
land's ice cap.
Recently, considerable evidence
has been collected that this Im
mense ice sheet is the controlling
factor In starting many storms
throughout, the whole - northern
hemisphere.
This homo of the weather is
well guarded agufnst man's pry
ing. Tho first leg of the Journey
from hero will be made with
Iceland' ponies and Greenland hus
kies carrying 70 tons of scientific
equipment.
The second and last leg Is a
stretch of 250 miles, beginning at
the foot of Kamarujuk glacier.
Sixty tons of the equipment will
be left In a base camp at the foot;
of the glacier, and 100 -horse
power motor sledges will attempt
to drag the remaining 10 tons up
the slopes to the Ice cap.
With Wegener are 20 scientists..
They will make trigonometrical
surveys of the ice cap. j
Former surveys have been based
upon barometric pressures to in-1
dicate altitude. The trigonome-,
trie heights are expected to be
correct to within 30 feet.
Wegener is professor of meteor
ology and geophysics at Austrian!
university of Graz. Ho is 49
married, and has three daughters.

and Candidacy to Suc
ceed Joseph Is Approved.
SALEM, Ore.. . July 1 1. (P)
If State Treasurer T. B. Kay is
accorded tho nomination for gov
ernot by the Republican state cen
tral Committee on July 2i he will
run on a platform formulated by
himself. Ho made this declara
tion In an interview yesterday,
commenting on a demand from
certain followers of tho lato George
W. Joseph, Republican nominee in
tho May 16 primaries that who
ever Is nominated Joseph's succes
sor ns a ramlidato shall adopt in
full and unchanged the platform
of their lost leader.
Concerning power development,
which was Joseph's main Imsuo,
Kny issued a formal statement.
Ho says ho favors power develop
ment of navigable streams by the
federal government, and cites his
legislative record and recent ex
change of letters with Senator
McNury to show that ho favors
development of the Umatilla rap
Ids project.
Fnvont City Ownership.
He favors municipal ownership
of light and power utilities and
cites tho Kugeno system as the
kind of development ho npproves.
If tho state grange's water and
power district amendment is
adopted by the peoplo Kay prom
ises to aid In seeing that it ac
complishes Its purpose. Ho op
poses private exploitation of the
state's unappropriated wutor und
power resources.
With all duo respoct to tho
late George W. Joseph, who was
a close personal friend of mine,
and to his supporters, who advo
cato the adoption without change
of his platform," Kay said, "I
have only to state that should I bo
given tho nomination by the com
mittee, I shall follow my usual
policy of running on a platform
formulated by myself."
