WRITER Is KILLED
IN MYSTERIOUS FIRE
Fred A. Hayner, Former Sporting
Editor, Burns to Death While
Adjusting Heater in Basement.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, January I5.-Fred A. Hay
ner, nationally known sporting writer,
was burned to death last night in a
mysterious fire that destroyed his home
in Lake Forest North Shore suburb.
Hayner, on the staff of the Daily
News, of which he once was sporting
editor, went to the basement of his
home to adjust the oil-burning heater.
He was trapped by sudden flare that
moment later swept up through the
first floor.
Mrs. Hayner and their sons, Francis.
IA, and James, IL, escaped, the children
being taken from their smoke-fi
room after Mrs Hayner had run out.
The heat melted a gas pipe in the
Basement and the released gas ignited,
handicapping efforts of firemen.. The
valve of the gas main was finally shut
off and the blaze extinguished with a
$4,000 loss. Hayner's body, badly
burned, was found face upward in the
debris in the laundry.
Hayner, besides being an authority
on sports, at one time was well known
as a foot ball referee. He was So years
old.

BALTIMORE CAR FARE
CASE APPEAL PLANNED

Special Dispatch to The Star.
BALTIMORE, April 10.-The Baltl-
more car fare case viii be submitted
to the United States Supreme Court
today following the public Service Com
MISSIONS receipt Of permission from the
Maryland Court of Appeals to appear
from its decision.
The appeal papers already have been
drawn up by Peoples Counsel Tingley
and Raymond S. Williams, speciai
counsel. and will be presented to the
court today in washington.
The local fare rate will come before
the Supreme Court as a result OF two
appeals--one filed by the United Rail
ways and the other by the Public Serv-
ice Commission. The United will con-
tend that the present fare Of 8A cents
is so inadequate that 1t amounts to
illegal confiscation of its property and
asking for straight 10-cent fare. The
Public Service Commission will contend
that the method of computing deprecl,.
alton. as ordered by the Maryland
Court OF Appeals, is improper.

NEW YORK, April 10,-The strongest
section of the bond market today was
that devoted to foreign dollar obliga-

more in the nature of recovery from

There was some recovery in various

Southeastern Europe.
While the average Of the foreign bond
list is q above the low of the year
