of the wire control resolution despite
Postmaster General Burleson's order
returning telegraph and telephone
properties to private operation was
reached today by the senate interstate
commerce committee. Chairman
Cummins announced that the bill

week.

so as to continue existing telephone
toll rates in effect for ninety days
after the wires are turned back in
stead of sixty days as originally pro-
posed.
Mr.. Bureson today sent to Chair
man Cummins a letter declaring that
his order yesterday had been miscon-
strued; that he had not turned back
the wires to private ownership and
that no such action was contemplated.

INQUEST DEVELOPS NO
CLEW TO THE SLAYER
OF NAVAJO ON MAY 3

The inquest into the death of Kee
Toledo Navajo, who was found dead
In his room on the night of Nav g.
ended yesterday afternoon before Jus
tice of the Peace John w. Wilson.
The inquiry had been delayed because
the jury wanted to examine Bessie
Siou, a Laguna, finance of the mur-
dered man. She was out of town
until yesterday.
The girl was unable to give any
possible clew to the murderer. She
last saw Toledo on the night of May
2. She met him on a downtown street
and talked with him for a short time.
The following night she learned from
the police that he had been killed.
The jury's verdict said simply that
Toledo had come to his death by rea-
son of fractured skull, caused by a
sharp instrument in the hands of an
unknown person.
