Fashion Hints
for June Say

Matrons who are weary of the
batteau shaped necklines will be in
terested in the surplice bodice eff
fects which are gaining foothold in
the fashion world lately. 50 often
the V-shaped ncckline is more be-
coming than the rounded or bat
teau-shaped one and the surplice
front offers an interesting change.
To be just Il trifle dressy, the
sports iacquette must have sash
ends embroidered in colors and ty
ing in front in draped Egyptian eff
feet The sash is attached at the
side seams-leav:ng the pack plain
and unbelted-and drapcs across
the front of the iacquettc with
wide ends tying i'll front.
One-piece jersey bathing suits
monogramcd in wool ON the left side
are among the new wrinkles in
bathing attire.
A pretty finish for the batteau
neck is the outstanding bias fold of
organdy which ties III bow Oh
the left shoulder with long ends
falling to the waistline. Pecotcdged
ribbon is used in this same manner.
Colored voille undergarments en-
broidered in tiny rose-buds like the
handkerchief rosc-buds are as
pretty and summary is they are
new. Green, yellow, orchid and pink
and the most effective colors for
voille undergarments.
Following the Partisan fancy for
combining black and brown, Ameri-
can designers are introducing black
crepe gowns beaded in bronze beads.
Worn with bronze shoes and hat the
effect is bound to be stunning.

THE GRAND JURY DEMANDS
PROOF OF MOUNTS DEATH
Its Members Are Not Sure That
Skeleton Found Under Pier
Is Students.

Observation-Disclosures into the
Leighton Mount mystery took a start.
ling turn when the grand jury de-
manded more proof that the skeleton
found under the pier was that OF
Mount and additional proof that he
is dead. The jury adjourned TO give
the state time to meet these demands.
In line with this action, which in
dicates the state has made slow pro
gress so far, came a letter from F.. A.
Nelson, of Cashton, Wis, asking that
the skeleton be re-eXamined to deter
mine whether or not it is that of his
nephew, Norman A. Campbell, a
senior in Northwestern, who has been
missing since January, 1922. The
missing man was % years old, five
feet, eight inches tall and weighed
165 pounds. He was Of regular habits
and his disappearance has been an
other of the mysteries Of Northwest
ern. The description fits that of
Leighton Mount closely.
While not s~idetracking the posi-
bility that Mount was killed by over
enthusiastic rivals in the campus
battle, the ADMINISTRATION has de-
veloped these points in conflict with
that theory.
The boy who discovered the skele,
ton a y there we're no rocks piled on
it.
The belt buckle, initiated IL. NJ"
was far enough from the bones to in
dictate that there was no connection
between them.
Pyschopathic experts, who have
studied Mounts character, find he
was OF a moody disposition, inclined
to suicide or to doing desperate things
in an unusual manner.
A friend of the missing student,
who helped the Mount family search
for him, said he is certain the boy
was alive three weeks after the cam
pus fight.
The state prosecutors began veer,
ing to the suicide theory, or that
Mount ran away deliberately. 1t is
said he was not doing we'll in school
and this worried him. His friends
also say his relations at home were
not harmonious and a third cause of
annoyance was the objection Of his
parents to Miss Doris Fuchs Of whom
he was fond.
In response to the demand of the
grand jury for more evidence that the
skeleton is that of Mount, the state
points out that the dentist who
worked on Mounts teeth positively
identifies the jaws of the skeleton as
that Of Mount. This seems to be the
only positive Identification, but the
jury asks more than this before il
can proceed.

60 BODIES FIRE VICTIMS
BURIED IN ONE BIG GRAVE
Three Thousand South CarolInans
Pay Last Tribute to School
house Dead.

Camden, s. C.-Bathed in the glory
of a setting South Carolina sun, 62
bodies were placed in n big grave
in Beulah Methodist church yard
Three thousand South Carolinans, led
by Gov. Thomas G.. Mcleod, gathered
from all parts Of the state to pay a
last tribute to those who persisted
when the cleveland schoolhouse was
burned, and stood with barred heads
throughout the brief, simple funeral
service.
The bodies were those out Of the
at least 70 dead which could not be
identified. They were buried within
a few hundred yards Of the spot
where they had gathered for the
commencement exercises Of the com
munity school. An oil lamp, which
fell from it's hangings on the ceiling
over the auditorium stage, turned the
little country school into a funeral
pyre.
Messages of coincidence and offers
of assistance poured in from all parts
OF the state and nation. Most OF
them were addressed to Mayor Gar
rison, of Camden, and to all he re-
turned one answer.
I'VE appreciate your sympathy. Nc
help needed"
The fire, according to eyewitnesses
started when a hanging lamp over
he stage fell and burst, blazing oil
catching flimsy draperies and quickly
spreading. The audience numbering
about 800, mostly children, became
panic stricken. Men in the crowd at
tempted TO quiet those who became
frightened, but a rush was made for
the one stairway that led to the
ground floor.
A jam resulted, the stairway
collapsed and scores were hurled into
a closet under the steps. Some were
impaled by jagged timbers from the
broken stairs. Soon the splintered
stairway caught fire.
Meantime men and boys, who had
escaped by leaping owe the ratings
or through windows, ~endeavored tc
extricate those trapped. Dozens were
pulled TO safety. Others leaped from
windows and sustained fractured
bones and bruises. Mothers, trapped
on the second floor, In some instances
hurled their children through
windows.
With the light of the burning build
ing to guide them men outside the
structure did their best to break the
fall of those who jumped. Some Of
the mothers gave their lives that the
children might live. for it was re
ported that in several instances little
ones we're tossed 10 safety just as the
floor sank with the mothers.

FLOOD AND FIRE IN
HOT SPRINGS, ARK.
A Heavy Loss Of Life and Property
is Reported-Wire Lines
Are Down..

Muskogee, Okla.-The Marquette
hotel block, at Hot Springs. is half
burned down, but the fire is reported
out, according TO word received here
through Benton, Ark. 1t is reported
that several people were killed in the
fire.
The Marquette hotel is near the Ar
lington hotel, which burned several
weeks ago. Both these hotels cater
to the exclusive transient resort
trade upon which the city is largely
dependent for support.
Little Rock, Ark.-Reports were
circulated here that a total OF IL lives
were lost at Hot Springs by flood and
fire, following q deluge Of rain and
a heavy wind storm which broke up
on the city.
The reports OF the loss Of life came
through railway men in communities
ton with the repair crews seeking to
open a line Of communication into
Hot Springs, and from a Hot Springs
resident marooned at Benton, 20 miles
west Of here, between Little Rock
and Hot Springs, ~endeavoring TO reach
his home.
The flood followed a cloud burst
and the waters rushed down from the
hills into the streets, according to the
meager reports, which added that fire
broke out in the business district and
wiped out nearly a block.
Water was four feet deep at the
railroad station in Hot Springs,
according to information received at
the local office of the Missouri
Pacific railroad.
1t was stated that shortly after this
report was received, all communica-
ton with the city failed.
The Hot Springs man, who te!e.
| phoned the Arkansas Gazette from
Benton, said railway crews meeting
on opposite side of a washOut, had re-
layed to him the story Of the deaths
in the storm and had reported that
there was four feet Of water in the
railway station at Hot Springs.
Hot Springs lies at the foot of and
between two mountains in such a way
that its principal streets form a
natural stream bed for any torrent
originating on either slope.
