of 80 per cent of the. railroad mile
age which the government took over
Most of the settlements yet to be
mado are expected to result in pay

cash OR securities.
Losses in direct operation of the
roads and in the later settlement
claims as now practically completed
by Director General Davis, are
shown to reach q total of $780,

.Orly one road has so far taken the

Cash Payments Help
One factor pointed out by Davis
as facilitating the settlements has
been the ability of the railroad ad-
ministration to pay cash to carriers
willing to accept an award.
Maintenance of the railroad ad-

checked the railroad claims and ae.

After a vacation yesterday, the
grand jury resumed sessions this
morning at 1880 continuing until
1915 when an adjournment was tax
,en until $50 for luncheon. Further
examinations in connection with the
F0rnasero case were the order OF the
day, the two Fornasero boys, Paul
and Joe, being brought before the
grand jury this morning. This af-
ternoon the two boys, with their sis
ter were giving testimony with ref
erenee to the murder of their father
and the attack Oh their mother and
themselves ut the family home near
Meloland on January Q.
1t is presumed the grand jury
heard the story Of the crime from
the children themselves and indiet-
ments may be returned against one
or more of the men now held at the
county Jail on suspicion Of connec
tion with the crime. District Attor-
ney Ernest r .utley and his deputy,
A. b. Robbins, were also present at
the session Of the grand jury.
The older boy, Joe is still wesring

DELAY HEARING
OF TWO CHARGED
in MURDER CASE
Court POstpOnes Hearing
at Defense Request Of
More Time
Utley Agrees After Main
Witness Ill and
Nichols Letter

Preliminary hearing for Lawrence
Campbell and Charles Davis. con
fessed muraerers Of Leslie Nichols,
was continued in Judge Mayfield g
court this morning at the request OF
Joseph +. Seymour and Wilbur Ran
dali, counsel for the accused men.
Ths attorneys explained that rela-
tives Of Campbell and Davis are ex-
pected to arrive in FL Centre and
Gesire to be present at the prelimi-
nary hearing, also they desire addi-
tional time to prepare their defense.
Owing TO the serious illness Of Ds.
w. +. Lyons, county coroner, who is
4 material witness for the pfosecu-
tion. District Attorney Ernest r
Ctley did not object to the continu-
alton.
Another factor which entered into
the ease and restrained the district
attorney from demanding that the
preliminary trial proceed at once,
was the receipt this morning of 4
letter froE, Mrs. Leslie l.. Nichols.
wife of the murdered man, asking
that she be notified of the absolute
date for the trial of Campbell and
Davis, SO that some member of
Nichols family might be present
Utley Wants Action.
In her letter Mrs. Nichols stated
that her resources would not allow
a trip here from her home in San
Francisco If the trial would be post
pensd after she had arrived here,
and requested that she be notified
only when it WAS absolutely certain
that the trial would proceed.
This letter, coupled with the i'll
ness of DR.. Lyons. were the only
reasons according to the district at
torney why he aeqniesced TO the re
quest Of the attorneys for the de
fense for continuance as he is anx-
ious that the trial of the TIVE men
be held as soon as possible.
Campbell appeared in court this
morning in new suit, and made a
much more presentable appearance
than he has heretofore. He appear
ed to: have thrown off the carefree
attitude he displayed on his previ-
Gus. appearances in the case and
seemed to realize the graveness of
the charge against him. Davis was
still dressed in the overalls and shirt
he wore when arrested and is appar-
emily as uIconeerned in the conduct
OF the case as he has been since
taken into custody. He retains his
habit Of grinning on the slightest
pretext and assumes spirit of BRAY
ado that shows the seriousness of
the case has not made any impress
sion on him as yet.

Unknown Dead
Identified by
Pr0sy Scientists
BY NORRIS QUINN
NEA Service Staff Writer

NEW YORK, Feb. S.-The Idry-
as-dust anthropolog7st, delving into
forgotten strata and piecing togeth-
er fragmentary bones of prehistoric
monsters, today has turned teacher
to the New York police.
His knowledge has been turned
to practical account IN the newest
and most spectacula" branch of po-
lice research-idon ntifying unknown
dead.
Six hundred unknown bodies are
found yearly in the streets, alleys
and waters of Greater New York
\ But through lessons learned from
1.-THE anthropologist@ 81 per cent were
identified beyond dispute in 1920,
more than 81 per cent in 1921 and
larger proportion of successes is
looked for this year.
How It's Done
Captain John H.. Ayres, chief OF
the missing persons bureau Of the
New York Police Department, today
told in an exclusive interview with
NEA Service hew he has accom-
plished his successes.
eff the corpse is complete and
clothed, identification is compare
tivelv simple" he says. "We ex-
anime the pockets for letters, docu-
ments, jewelry. or keys.
elf these are lacking we turn to
the clothes themselves. Usually
there arc tailor marks. In the Bet
ter grade of clothing the name of
! the owner often is sewn in.
"Many bodies are identified by
shoes. But the most valuable cloth
ing clew is the laundry mark.
"When there is no clothing, we
have. to turn to the body itself. Arc
these distinguishing marks-sears or
defOrmitiese If not. the teeth arc
the most accurate and usually an un.
y failing-means of identification.
But when body, besides being
unelothed, also is headless, the
problem becomes intricate. .
Anthropologist Steps Ir
'It is there that the anthropolo.
gist steps in with the knowledge he
has gained in reconstructing diaos-
aus ana pteTouactSiS iIohl tht inObt
meagre fossil remains.
"Just rs he would work with a
fossil, he examines the pigment OF
! tho hair on the victims body and
tells us the color of the hair on the
missing headand sometimes he can
tell us the color Of the eyes, too.
"Taking legless, armless and
headcss corpse, the anthropologist
tells us the victims height and
weight. He examines the blood cor
puscles and tells us the approximate
age.
"Or, given only thigh bone, he
tells us the owner 9 sex, age
weight and height-if the owner
was moi of abnormal or grotesque
proportions. >,
"Still more-from fleshless
skull, the anthropologist can deduct
the owners age, sex and race ano
even made good guess as to his

ATEN, POUND, BARRY, NEWER ELECTED
Solved
by Otey Walker;
Firemen Stunt

Less than "a hours after his ar
rival in III Centre, and putting to
shame the work Of Sherlock
Holmes or Old King Brady, Mar
shal Otey Walker, the famous
constable of Old Home Town,
solved the identity Of the ''mys-
terious soldier who has driven
the people of Ell Centre frantic
with curiosity for several days
past, and today the secret is out.
The mysterious soldier is
no representative Of n foreign ma
ton, nor the advance guard of an
advertising campaign for cigar
etes, soap or bunion cure, but he
is the forerunner of the enter
tainment to be provided by the
members of the FL Centre fire
department. at their 14th annual
dance to be given as an Interna.
tional Farley, at Masonic Hall,
Washington's s Birthday, Febru-
ary %.
Fooled the Cops
The fire boys certainly put one
over on the town and had even
the "wise ones guessing as to
just who the mysterious sol
der" might be. The latter play.
ed bis part well had refused to
divulge his identity 20 any one, a
matter which is said to have
greatly peeved two well known
local peace officers, who were
not in on the hoax.
There is hardly anyone in Ell
Centre who will not admit the
firemen deserve all the co-opera
tion possible in connection with
the only time they ask Eelp of
the people of Ell Centre whom
they serve day and night through
out the year, voluntarily, and Of
ten at great expense to their
private affairs.
Tomorrow, members of the de-
partment will solicit the people of
Ell Centric to aid them in making
their annual dance the big sue
cess il always has been, and
though they are not going to go
armed, they are going TO ask ev-
erybody to stick 'en up and
'eome across and promise ey-
erybodv who attends the Interna
tional Parley, the best time they
have yet had in the history of El
Centre.

Fornasero Boys Testify
BATES HERE TO
APPEAR BEFORE
THE GRAND JURY
Famous Border Case Re-
opens; Mexican Off
cials Testify

D. p. Bates member of the Fresno
police department who is accused OF
having attempted to permit Dave
Polin to escape into Mexico arrived
in this city this morning accompan-
led by Lieutenant Linkous of the
Fresno department apparently for
the purpose of appearing before the
grand jury which had the ease un-
der discussion Monday afternoon,
Neither Bates nor ~Linkous would
deny that they had been subpocnaed
before the grand jury, and up to a
late hour this afternoon they had
not appeared before that body.
1t is alleged that Bates took polin
across the line into Mexico, after
the latter had been surrendered to
him by the Calexico police, and the
officer had departed on tho train
with his prisoner, bound for Fresno.
When Bates was first arrested in De-
ccmbcr, Frank b.. Erzinger, deputy
assistant district attorney ut the
time, dismissed the charges against
the officer, having satisfied himself
himself that I'll the Officers actions
had been in good faith.
Bates was allowed to return TO
Fresno, where he was later arrested
by Imperial County Officers on Il
warrant made out by Justice of the
Peace G. Z. Markev of Caiexico,
sworn to by Joseph Hardwick, chief
of the Calexico police. Following a
preliminary hearing he was released
under bonds of $4,000.
Bates denies that there was any,
thing illegal about his actions, other
than his act in taking Polin into
Mexico was done through ignorance
of the fact that his authority over
his prisoner ceased when he crossed
the line with him. He maintains
that at al times the prisoner was
handcuffed to him and that his ac-
tions in the case were justified by
instructions given him by his super
iors in Fresno.
1t was learned that Guillermo
CULLEN, sub commandante of the
Mexicai police, also several Of his
aids and Attorney Barcenis, counsel
for Dave Polin, were witnesses be-
fore the grand jury hearing on Mon
day afternoon when the Bates case
was discussed.
Before leaving Mexicali to appear
before the grand jury, it is said
CULLEN stated he would testify
Polin had told him that the latter
had made an offer of 81 1000 cash4to
Bates if the officer would allow him
