GIVES S5 BILL TO CLERK,
 FINDS IT IS COUNTERFEIT
Grove Street Woman Says She Received Bad Money in
 Lafayette Street Store.

Will Mir. Feeney give me a good s5 for that one?" Mary Carbone AZ Grove street, was talking to Ser geant O'Mara. This morning she had given S5 bill to clerk at Raphael's. The bill was no good. Police were called in to investigate.
 Mary said that she got the bill Sunday from store on Lafayette street. Police believed her ctory But she was worried over the fate of her bills. Would she get it back?
 This afternoon she came to the police station to see if Sergeant Feeney, in charge of the investiga- tion. would give her back her $5 bill. Sergeant Feeney couldn't do it, Sergeant O'Mara said.
 Then will MT. Feeney give me q good $5 bills?" Mary asked.
 Sergeant O'Mara smiled and told the woman that it was extremely unlikely.

GRAF WILL LEAVE
 0N TOKYO FLIGHT
 EARLY TOMORROW
(Continued From First Page)

made today for the Graf Zeppelin to take off before dawn tomorrow for Tokyo, in continuation of it's round the world flight.
 The five engines of the dirigible were gone over once again, a last inspection was given the fabric which clothes it's rigid framework, food, supplies and the ships cargo of mail were slowed away and final check-up was made of every ele- ment
 In the Zeppelin company offices maps, charts and weather reports. furnished in part by Soviet meteor ologists, were subject to intensive scrutiny by pr. Hugo Eckener. the ships master, and his aides. They expected prior to departure to state somewhat more definitely the diri- gible's course across northern Asia.
 As time for take-off approached recognition became more and more general that the Graf was undertak- ing a voyage which will test it's speed, endurance and air worthi- ness considerably more than any mere transatlantic crossing.
 Northern Route Worst
 Particularly did the possible eX- treme northern route, northeast ward from Leningrad to Yakutsk, seem a supreme test, although as a matter of fact weather conditions that far north were said to be better for an eastward flight than farther south, by way of Ifkutsk. Much of the route along the northern course would lie north of the Arctic circle.
 The 20 passengers, who with 40 officers and crew will be aboard the Zeppelin, already have gathered here from all parts of Europe, They were happy at the prospect of get ting away early tomorrow-(proba- ply before midnight tonight, E. S. T.) No one seemed to fear the out come of the trip, or to be contem- plating it with any emotion other than enjoyment.
 Food Arrangements Complete
 Otto ManZ, chief de cuisine, said preparation of food to be served on the long flight practically was com- plete. The menu will be the same as on the trip to America, save that the fare will be simpler. Inasmuch as the flying will be in northerly and colder regions high proportion of fats will be taken along, such as bacon and ham.
 There will be only one official mascot aboard the Zeppelin, Captain Hans Won Schiller said. remarking: Some friends of the Zeppelin in New York gave us an amusing look ing blue bird-I suppose 1t is a blue heron-with long legs and its feet encased in enormous shoes which put 1t all over the ordinary movie comedian.

SHELL TAKES LIFE
 OF STATE GUARD
 PRIVATE AT CAMP
(Continued From First Page)


  ident of this city, are Major FL bert L. Darbie of Danielson and Captain George H. O'Brasky of New Haven.
 This board convened at o'clock to make an investigation of the ac- cident.
 Board Still In Session
 The board was still busy at late hcVr today interviewing witnesses examining the gun and checking up on every detail. It was expected that before making any report the board would interview the two men at the hospital and because of their condition is was not felt that this would be done for a day or two. As all other witnesses to the accident were at least 25 yards away it is felt that the two injured men are the only ones who will be able to tell exactly what happened.
 It was reported about the camp that when the powder failed to fire 
 and proceeded to remove the cart ridge.
 A ramrod used by the detail was found 270 feet away, indicating that it was in the gun when the explosion occurred. Unofficially it was report cd that the men were behind the gun when 1t fired.
 The presumption is that Ainsllo- vich was bending over the breach and the ether two were standing be hind him when the cartridge went off. This is based on the fact that Ainskowich was struck in the neck and suffered a severed jugular vein and the other two had opposite hands injured by the back lire from the gun and the shattered breach.
 Aid Rushes to Men
 Within a few seconds after the ac- cdent the cook detail. the color de- tail and Lieut., Canora reached the gun and the ambulance and men rom the 11Sth medical corps sum- moned.
 The gun is a three-inch field piece which was manufactured in 1912. It has been used for four years to fire salutes and never gave any trouble before according to officers at the camp.
 | The gun crew were said to be ex- neTienced in firing the piece, Cor poral Bonadio having been in charge of this detail for the past two years. Examination Of the gun after the ac- cident revealed the firing mechanism to De shattered to pieces but the | block was undamaged.

 Judge Henry L. Scarlett's charge will follow and the case was expect ed to reach the jury late this after noon.
 Girls Faults Cited
 Faults in the life of Theora Hix were emphasized by Seyfert.
 You can't ignore the acts of this girl in the last three years of her life" he said. "The mantle of charity which should clothe the life of dead person should be thrown aside on only one occasion, that IS W hen the person responsible for death is on trial for his life. That is the reason the defense has shown you the sordid details of Theora' s life. And that is the reason why you must consider them, weigh them and use them in making your final decision.'

 "She was quiet but sneaky," said Seyfert. "Something not normal must be involved in the life of q girl who would associate with Meyers (Marion T. Meyers, former suitor) and Dr, Shook at the same time. Only one term can be at tached to Meyers. He is but a creature-not a man"
 Blames Girl For Act
 If Shook is a killer, d demon, said Seyfert, death is too good for him, ' Seyfert then assailed Miss Hix's character, declaring she, not Dr. Shook with whom she occupied a s4 week love nest, brought about her own death"
 "The state is trying to picture Dr. Shook as q villain who sent the soul of Theora Hix to the depths ot he'll" Seyfert shouted. you cannot throw the mantle of charity around the last three years of Theora Hix's life"
 Shook moistened his lips and clasped and unclasped his hands as Seyfert painted a sordid picture Of Theora then turned his attack upon Prosecutor Chester who he termed an "octupus and a wolf who sub jected Shook to the third degree. Seyfert next portrayed Snook's wife Helen, and his 73 yearold mother Mrs. Baner Shook. taking the wit ness stand in defense of their hu'' band and son and of their home Shook was visibly moved and tears streamed down his face.

Announcement Expected

The Hague. Aug. II Pe-Definite announcement of the date and con- ditions of evacuation of the Rhine- land by the armies of the former allied nations was believed today 10 await only final acceptance of the Young reparation plan.
 Philip Snowden. British chancel- Tor of the exchequer, whose seem- ingly uncompromlsing attitude until recently made unanimous acceptance appear highly improbable. has shown much more conciliatory front, and there was general ho2c in the Hague reparation conference circles that his opposition to phases of the Young plan soon would oe withdrawn.
 Tentatively, Gustav Stresemann, German foreign minister, Arthtn: Henderson. British foreign minister. and Aristide Briand French pro- mier, have set the latter part of this year as the date for withdrawal of the allied troops from the Rhine land.
 Christmas Date
 Out of the Rhineland by Christ mas has been adopted by repre- sentatives of the governments here as indicative both of their good in- tentions and of the stage to which the negotiations have progressed. IL was stressed, however. that that date was tentative, the proviso al ways being unanim ous acceptance of the Young plan.
 There probably will be no further announcement with regard to eva- cuation by the political committee of the conference until the proh- lens of the financial committee on acceptance of the Young plan have been solved.
 The conferees were said in some quarters to be merely stallng for time in the hope this contingency would be met shortly. Officially it evacuation were being considered by French military technical commit tee.
 Another problem growing out of evacuation and demanding solution was the matter of costs of maintain inG occupation in the interim after September 1, when the Dawes plan ceases to be operative.
 The financial committee of the conference, meeting today after a days recess. had before it a formal debate on that part of the Young plan dealing with payments in kind, with the principle address by Louis Loucheur, French minister of labor.
 Stall For Time Seen The debate, too, seemed another stall for time, with the conference delegates hoping their leaders would find way to meet the demands of Philip Snowden for a greater share of German reparations without fur ther sacrifices on their part.
 Negotiations to this end, however, have reached the coffee cup and tete-a-tete stage only and if settle ment is to be forthcoming it prob ably will result from these informal conversations between Mr. Snowden, Henri Cheron and Italian and Bel gian finance ministry officials.
 The dominant note in conference circles today was that after passing the dangerous crisis of last week the | conference must not fail. There probably was not delegation un- willing to make sacrifices to that | end
