 The expedition found in several of the ctndor cones which dot the floor of the main crater of HalcakaIp evidences of the place having been used for burial purposes. and in two of the cones terraced platforms of stone were found on which were anus or stone cairns, containing hu- man skeletons buried, according to the old Hawaiian custom with knees fleNed up against the breast No in signia or other evidence to show the rank of the persons buried in these places was found.
 The discoveries are in line with known facts concerning ancient Ha- waiian burial customs. but the loca- tion of these buiral places is deemed remarkable on account of the inac- possibility of Haleakala crater. which is at an elevation of over 10000 feet above the sea and is entered only with difficulty.

INNOCENT, BUT
HELD 70 DAYS
Gross CarelessnesS of Board
Made Him Stacker

COLUMBUS. Ohio, Aug. 9-After i'm
rrisonnent OF seventy three days in Co
Iun4hus Barracks Frank Z Baton OF
Columbus. formerly OF Hamilton. has
eltred vIudLcation as a draft evader, and
Il was admitted the charges We're tled
enormously. Baton is out Of work,
having been discharged during his con
fnement Ia prison
The exoneration is based upon two
counts The first e. tsat records show
his papers Of induction were mailed FIVE
DAYS after the notification, whereas ten
days we're required by draft rules. The
second finding alleged gross careless
ness" on the part Of the local draft
board at Hamilton in mismailing the
papers. which never reached him.
Conclusive proof was given that Baton
informed both the Columbus boards and
the Hamilton boards of his moving 20
Columbus. IN mailing the papers the
address given was his former one IN
Hamilton, but the city indicated was
Columbus.
The release is in the form OF an hon
OrabIe discharge from the United States
army. This, according to Major Olney
Place, acting commsndant at the post, is
to protect Baton from further action by
officials in other parts OF the country.
The Major further avered that two-thirds
Of the charges Of draft evasion are
founded upon similar circumstances. and
that the innocent ones, such as Baton,
are the ones most frequently Drought
up because "the guilty ones don't show
their faces"

NO BOOST IN
HIGHWAYS TAX
Director Lyons of Commission
Shows Optimism.

While there is more activity in all de-
partments and a greater volume of work
is under way relative to road maintenance
and construction than ever before IN tho
history Of the organization, the present
tax levy Of 80 cents on each 500 Of tax
able property will not be increased .le-
spite the fact that actual moneys to come
from this levy will be somewhat reduced
due to a lowering Of valuations, Lawrence
Lyons. State highway director, speaking
for the highway commission, said today.
The commission, he said, took a definite
stand on this question at Its last meeting
and all members agreed that no increase
would be asked for.
The 3.9 cent levy brings to the highway
department approximately $2JaJ0, 600
year which is spent in constructing new
roads and for maintenance, new bridges
and for bridge repair With the idea Of
giving a twelve months service on roads
under department jurisdiction, the com
mission centered much of this seasons
work on maintenance and on building
roads for which contracts were previously
let. In order to make 8 number of roads
serviceable 1t was necessary to close the
gaps in several trunk highways, bus the
result at the close Of this years WORK
will be that Indiana win possess several
main trunk lines completed and open to
all season traffic.

TO CLOSE OUT
EXHIBIT SPACE
Exposition Boosters Engage
Extra Force to Insure
Early Contracts.

A letter is going today to the $50 bust
ness and professional men Of indianapolis
who are members of the Indianapolis
Board Of Trade. urging them to give their
whole hearted support to the Indianapolis
Industrial Exposition and requesting that
the manufacturers connected with the
board take exhibit space, according to
Joseph A. Kebler, president of the In
dianapolis Board of Trade.
The board of directors of the Board Of
Trade have pledged complete support to
the indianapolis Chamber Of Commerce
under whose auspices the exposition win
be held Oct. 10 to is.
In order to round up the exhibit space,
a sales crew Of twelve men was turned
loose yesterday by Claude s. Wallin, di-
rector of the exposition for the manufac-
turers committee of the Chamber of Com
merce under whose auspices the exposi-
ton is being Held.
The manufacturers committee is max
ing every effort to close contracts for the
entire $1,000 square feet of space. Ac-
cording to Mr. Wallin, the sales force
may be doubled IN the next few days If
satisfactory results are shown by direct
calls on the manufacturers.
THE contracts are not coming in fast
nough," said Mr.. Wallin. I'VE are get
ting in about an average Of fifteen day

we find that practically every manu-
facturer In the city decided long ago to
exhibit at the show, but because of va
cations. lack OF plans, and in some cases
mere negligence, the contract has not
been sent In. We are sending after the
contracts now instead of waiting for
them to come in"

CONCERNING ANN FRANCIS
AND HER DADDY" SONG AT LYRIC.

Sometimes a naughty" little jazz song
docs more 10 win an audience than the
personality or ability OF the singer does.
Ann Francis. an indianapolis contribu-
ton TO vaudeville. is at the Lyric this
week. At her first appearance on the
opening day Of the new bill. she walked
on the stage unapplauded and apparently
unnoticed when she left the stage after
her turn Ann Francis was well known
and liked.
She possesses a "saucy" little way
about her which is refreshing to rs who
see so much forced pep" on the stage.
She appears to enjoy her work and she
gives an audience the best that is in her
Realizing the popular favor Of jazz songs.
Miss Francis secures her knockout blow
with a typical Daddy" song. in which
she laments the fact that she left her
door open and her daddy" walked out.
In the hands Of Miss Francis this song
is not suggestive, but IS a pleasing little
blue" song that Is popular today.
Miss Francis tops OF her act with her
impression OF Fred stone in an eccentric
dance. Her costume is an abbreviated
