came to find q resting place in so un-
usual a location. Many theories were
advanced one being that 1t had been
washed there by the river, while some
one harked back to the early days and
declared a cemetery had once been in
the vicinity. Others were inclined 70
the belief that the skeleton belonged to
the period when Indians roamed the

COMMERCE
LAW GETS
VIM. HALEY

A violation of the Interstate Com
merce law that is even more technical
than the case compiled by the State of
California against Diggs and Camin-
etti was given preliminary hearing
before Charles Surprise, clerk of the
Feeral Court late today.
The story of William Haley. an only
son of influential Toledo people. is
as far as morals go. less shocking than
the coast scandal. But the young man
faces the same penalty If he is con-
vfcted.
Haley secured a railroad pass for
Miss Ethel Smith, alleged to be his
paramour, and accompanied her to
Chicago from Toledo and then back to
Gary. She was supposedly his wife.
At the time Haley was employed by the
Lake Shore railroad and the commerce
law is very explicit In that regard.
Passes can be had only for members
of an employees family.
White slave Case Failed.
When the illegal domesticity was
first discovered ineGary an attempt was
made to indiet Haley for white slav-
cry but 1T was found that the grand
jury could not accomplish this. Then
the example set in the Diggs and Cam
inetti case opened up new avenue to
the penitentiary.
Haley faces everlasting disgrace fol-
rash impotency on technicality.
Bound Over to Jury.
Federal Clerk Surprise bound Haley
over to the Federal grand jury at To.
ledo under a $500 bail for violation
of the Interstate commerce law. H,

officers.
