Extensive Hunt
For Officer Is
Being Conducted
Clayton, N. M., May 20 (AP)—Ef-
forts of federal authorities to recover
the body of Ray Sutton, slain pro-
hibition officer, and to bring to jus-
tice his slayers threatens to become
one of the most extensive murder in-
vestigations ever conducted by the
government.
, The quest for Sutton's slayers and
the search for his body have been
pursued relentlessly since he disap-
peared from Raton, N. M„ August 28.
The only trace that has been found
since Sutton disappeared was his
blood-stained car in an arroyo last
October.
A larger part of the mountainous
area in Northern New Mexico was
searched by posses and officers soon
after the prohibition officer was re-
ported missing. Then the search
widened. Arrests for the slaying
were made in Trinidad, Colo., Okla-
homa City and other cities of the
southwest, but no one is now being
held In connection with the death.
The government has now started
a more detailed search, while the
man hunt continues. Numerous
abandoned mine shafts, down any of
which officers believe the slain man’s
body might have been thrown, will
be searched, and lakes in the vicinity
of where the car was found will be
drained.
One of the lakes has been drained,
and the second-Koehler lake, the
largest of the group was being drain-
ed when recent rains began filling
the lake faster than it was being
lowered. This lake covers 37 acres
and was about 27 feet deep when the
pumping was begun. It is a supply
lake for the Santa Fe.
Officers are prepared to identify
the body by dental work.
When the Needlework Guild of America opened its annual con-
vention in Philadelphia recently, these two members had much in com-
mon. They are widows of two famous presidents of the United States.
On the left is Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt, and on the right Mrs. Thbmas J.
Preston, Jr., widow of Grover Cleveland. She was re-elected natibnal
president of the guild.

$500,000 Not
Enough To Pay
Legislators
Austin, V
coffers tw
the Texas
0 (AP)—Going to the
jr $250,000 each trip,
gislature found even
that amount insufficient for It to
finish its 130 day session, and has
now brought in the "left overs” from
the 41st session.
The “left overs” aggregated $134,-
000, all of which will be placed at the
disposal of the 42nd legislature.
Upon beginning the legislature or-
dered an appropriation of $250,000
to pay mileage and per diem of its
members. About midway of the ses-
sion a second $250,000 appropriation
was ordered.
May 12, the day the regular 120
days session came to a close, finance
chairman advised the membership
that less than $200 remained.
It seems that the 41st legislature
concluded its deliberations with more
than $234,000 left to its credit. It
was but a matter of minutes for
those who look after the financial
ends of the legislature to introduce
a bill calling for a transfer, and a
utilization of the funds to avoid ask-
ing another appropriation.
Although legislators’ pay dropped
automatically to five dollars a day
on May 13, it still costs the state
more than $900 a day for legisla-
tors’ salaries alone. In addition
there arc more than 200 employes
about the legislative halls whose pay
will run the total to between $1,500
and $2,000 a day.
