(U.P.) A meeting of the Norwegian cabinet was called for today to discuss the question of relief for the Amundsen-Ellsworth polar air expedition. More than a week has now expired since the polar aviators jumped off from Kings Bay, Spitzenbergen, and no word has come of them. In view of this situation, relief measures are being consolidated.

in 1923 when Amundsen's proposed flight from Alaska across the pole was postponed.

M. Payne announced today. The court's plan involves co-operation of the state, which, it is expected, will be asked to concentrate all of its work next year on the section now in dire need cf improvement. The state's co-operation will be sought upon the condition that the county pay half the cost of the work. Regarding the county's share the court will propose that the Cascadia road district vote a special tax to raise approximately $10,000 to be applied on this road; The cost of the road would be determined, under the plan, and the county would provide enough funds to make up the difference between half the road cost and the $10,000 provided by the district.

The state would bear the remaining half of the expense. It is estimated roughly that the cost would be approximately $40,000. However, if the cost is more than that the county would absorb the difference between the district's $10,000 and the county's share. This plan was evolved by the court after it had been learned that the road district in question was planning a special tax anyway. By means of the plan it is believed that Cascadia can be made accessible at all times by the end of next year, instead of at the end of a longer period, which would be the case shculd the plan fail.

A road constructed under this plan would be standard in every way and permanent. Without the district's aid the court might not be able to provide sufficient funds. The court's wish is to withhold appropriation- and work on this section until the state is ready to locate the road, for the reason that if extensive work should be done prior to the in WASHINGTON, May 29. (U.P,) A single purchasing agent for the entire United- States government will be created by executive order of President Coolidge within the next few days, General H. L.

The action today climaxes several months of investigation by hundreds of agents of the department of justice on charges that furniture men are operating under a trust agreement to keep up prices. The investigation is said to have furniture prices are up anywhere from 100 to 300 per cent above prewar figures, despite the fact that prices of other commodities have reacted sharply from their war time levels.

Furniture men have "been" questioned by the grand jury for more than a month. A total of nearly 2,100 -witnesses, from all branches of the trade, were summoned and books from scores of concerns seized in the effort to determine how prices have been kept at their present figures.

S. S. SEATTLE AT SEA, HAWAIIAN WATERS, May 29. (U.P.) The United States fleet was headed back toward Honolulu today after three weeks of miner maneuvers about Maui island. The 150 or more ships left Lahaina Roads last night while score of automobiles and hundreds of persons cheered the departure.

It separated the village from the greatest thrill of its existence. The return to Honolulu was started just as darkness settledLover the roadstead, with the dim shore lights outlining the craft. It was the first time the fleet had gctten under way from Lahaina at night, but the maneuver went off without difficulty. The Seattle, flagship of the fleet, bis due at Honolulu some time today. It will be followed closely by the remainder of the navy, which will remain at Pearl Harbor until a portion of the ships leave for Australia the middle of next week.

DR. HART DRAWS -5 YEAR SENTENCE AND $5,000 FINE PORTLAND, May 29. (U.P.) Richard W. Price, game commissioner, yesterday sent his resignation to Governor Pierce. He gave two reasons for his move, one being that the commission had refused to remove from office Captain A.

E. Burghduff, state game warden, because he was engaged in a private fish hatchery undertaking closely allied to his work for the state. The second was that instead of, removing Burghduff for cause, the commission had considered hatching a plot to trap Burghduff in an anti-prchibition violation. NEW TAMPERING EVIDENCE SOUGHT THREE KILLED IN WRECK IN TEXAS; SCORE INJURED if BROOKLYN, N. May 29.

(U. The body of a girl identified as Florence Kane of Brooklyn, was Florence Kane, 24, sister of a Brooklyn detective was discovered here today in a vacant lot where she had been bruitally murdered. She had apparently been strangled to death. A strip of red flannel shirting was bound around her head, holding a cloth gag in her mouth. Nearly police found a pair of heavy gloves such as are worn by truck men the only clue picked up at the outset.

Miss Kane had attended a theater in Manhattan with 15 girl friends. After reaching Brooklyn she bade goodnight to her friends and took another subway train to the Utica avenue -station, where she got off. She walked live blocks en route to her home. At this paint, police believe. Miss Kane was "attacked.

Persons living near the vacant lot where the body was found told the authorities they heard no screams or sounds of a struggle. Miss Kane's body lay 15 feet from the sidf valk. Both hands were tied, her clothing was torn and her head had been crushed. Part of a brown silk which she had worn was wound around her head and held a cloth gag in her nuuth. The body lay face downward.

The young woman's silver -mesh bag, containing some small change lay near the body and two rings she wore were still on her fingers, indicating the motive was not robbery. The only tangible clue was a pair of worn cloth gloves such as truck men use. Less than an h.ur before she was murdered Miss Kane had laughingly said she was "able to take care of herself" when her friends warned of the danger of going home alone. PORTLAND, May 29. (U.P.) Dr.

Frank C. Hart, Portland physician, formerly of Lebanon, today was sentenced to five years at McNeil Island and fined $5000 on a white slave charge.

Crowe, Chicago's fighting and persistent chief prosecutor, started out today in search of fresh evidence that witnesses in the William D. Shepherd $1,000,000 "germ murder" trial have -been offered bribes. "Go get these four men," Crowe ordered his staff of detectives, handing them a list of four names he had found through questioning a suspect. "Get those men and bring them to me iljn't come back until you have them." Crowe refused to' make public the names. W.

W. O'Brien, one of Shepherd's attorneys and a veteran criminal lawyer, who has won acquittals for more than a score of murderers, meanwhile told the United Press in an exclusive interview what he thought of Crowe's campaign. "Crowe simply is trying to delay justice," O'Brien charged. "He was forced into this case by Judge Harry Olson and he knows that he does not have enough evidence to convict Shepherd. He's stalling for time in the pe of collecting new evfdence and all these charges of bribery are simply his means of covering up the delay."
