of the Kilauea volcano observatory, who is directing the work, expects to learn something about subter- ranean heat in it's relation to vol canic activity.
 The holes will be encased around the top and capped so that tempera- ture tests may be made at any time. It is thought that rise in tempera- ture in the holes may presage an eruption and thus serve as a log for the life of the volcano.
 Experimental holes previously drilled disclosed a wide variation in temperature, seemingly without reference to the proximity of Hale maumau volcano. This convinced scientists that systematic temper ature observations would be yalu- able.

NEW MINE IS OPENED
Production of Marble for Interior Decorating and Stuoco Coloring Increased at Canaan Plant.

Canaan, Conn, July 10 - The United States Gypsum company has just opened up here a new mine, quarry and plant for the produc- tion of marble to be used in the manufacture of its colored stucco and interior tinted plaster. These operations are carried on on a large tract of land purchased early this year, located some two miles from the New York. New Haven & Hartford railroad.
 This new plant has been necessi- tated by the increased demand throughout the United States for the colored stucco and tinted plas- ter in which the marble is used. The marble rock, after being mined or quarried, is put through primary and secondary crushers. then is graded over a bank of screens and separated into six different sizes. The correct percentage of each of these sizes is mixed together to pro- duce stucco and tinted plaster of the right plasticity, water carrying capacity and other qualities.
 The output Of the new plant here is being shipped In bags to the company's other plants where it is compounded with mineral pigments and other ingredients to make the finished products. The works es- tablished here permits the company 10 exercise exact control over it's stucco and tinted plaster. In addi- ton to the quarry now being work cd, a mine is being opened to per init continuous operation through out the year.

.62 GOLFERS STILL
 IN COLUMBUS PLAY
Bill MehlhOrn Is in Lead as
 Days Playing Starts

Columbus, O., July 10 Pt-sixty two golfers today remained In the competition for the national open championship at Scioto Country club out of record field of 151, as a result Of the two rounds Of Thurs day and Friday, and they were ready to fight 1t out over 65 holes for the supremacy of American golf dom.
 These golfers, by scoring 158 or better, were headed by Bill Mehl- horn of Chicago, who had tallied 6S-75-143 for the first two rounds. His recession of strokes yesterday from the record of 68 he chalked up Thursday was outdone by his near est contender In the Initial circuit, for Bobby Jones, American amateur and British open title holder, slipped blows from his good 70, totalling 14o. This placed Jones in a tie for sixth place with Jack Forester of New York, who had the best score yesterday, 73. Jones played many holes in par, but two penalties and a ' on the 18th, with five on a par hole upset him.
 The Atlantan's place next to Mehl- horn vas assumed by Joe Turnesa. of New York. who had 71-74-145. With Dan Williams. of the same city one stroke below, New York also claimed fourth and fifth places through George Mclean and Leo DiegeI, tied at 14S,
 Among the crack players who earned a ticket back home by their defections in the preliminary rounds were Jim Barnes of New York, for merly American and British open champion, Fred Mcleod of Wash ington, who won this event many years ago, Jock Hutchison of Chi cago, first American to win the Brit ish open. Harry Cooper of Kansas City and Eddie Held of St. Louis, trans Mississippi title holder.
 One of the remaining contenders, Jimmie Thompson of Richmond Virginia. Is only r years old, and his friends predict that In him the south has another embryo Jones. He hit q good 77 Thursday, but like the big stars fell off somewhat yester~ day owing to wind and fast turf taking S2 for a total of 159. While that score just admitted him to the circle honor. he shared it with no less a light than Cyril Walker, who won this eTent only two years ago.
 Today's scores are to be added to those of the first two rounds for the final awards. On the basis of Mehl- horns standing, the lowest probable score for T2 holes would be 2S6, but such experts as Hagen predict the winning total Is more likely to De around 293.
 A heavy rain just after the close of yesterdays play helped the links but showers predicted for today would not be welcomed by the con- testantS,

 William Y, DHyer Charges

New York, July 10tPl-"Kirsch is no longer in the case"
 Federal Judge Mack thus inform ed the newly-chosen jurors in the trial of William V. Dwyer, alleged head of 8 gigantic rum syndicate, and ten of his associates, that Jack Kirsch, the overseas purchasing agent for the alleged combine, had suddenly changed his plea 10 guilty on all three counts of the indict- ment.
 This development was a blow to the alleged leaders of the audacious rum-running organization and to Dwyer, upon whom Assistant Unit ed States District Attorney Stich- man fastt led the title, king of the bootleggers,"
 The circumstances following the sudden switch of Kirsch's plea were said 10 be unparalleled in federal court procedure here, since the jury had left the box for a brief recess when Kirsch's attorney held brief consultation with the judge the dis. .trict attorney. and the lawyers for the other defendants. The an- nouncement followed the jury's re- turn from their recess.
 Krschs bail vas continued, and sentence was deferred until after the others have been tried. District Attorney Buckner refused to inform Judge Mack If he planned 10 use Kirsch as a government witness.
 The all d ring" is said to have imported more than $40,o00,00O worth of liquor between October. 1923. and June, 1926. and their equipment is alleged to have been operated so openly that 9 large re- pair-shop for their speed-boats was maintained in upper Manhattan.
 Mir. Stichman, in opening the gov ernments case, announced to the jury that many sensational develop ments were to be made during the forthcoming trial to indicate how complete a mastery of rum-smug- glng the organization had acquired and maintained The use of a coast guard cutter as a carrier for 500 cases of liquor, was intimated as one of the surprises to be sprung, as well as the relationships of the oth- CT indicted men to their king
