tribes, particularly the Batela, have
evolved a system of telegraphy
through use Of a wooden drum, the
system Of signals approaching that

through intensity Of volume, rhythm,
kind Of drum used, time Of day, etc.
In a jungle environment much infor-

motor patrolman, with having at
tackled him as he got out of his
car in the $500 block West Wash

after being forced to the curb by
Graham and officer Otto Burk.
Safety board members took the
case under Amusement after a
lengthy hearing. and scored the Of

Neither of the officers gave the

A story of how Coroner Fred w.
Vehling, who now faces an i'm
parchment suit in circuit court, ig-
nored a mans death-bed wishes for
disposition of his property, was told
today
Wallace Padgett, 257 South Sum
NIT street, business partner of John
Snyder, was at city hospital, July
II, when Snyder died of alcoholic
poisoning.
Vehling is charged with refusing
to turn Snyders personal property
over to James Holland, adninistra-
tor, who filed the suit demanding
the coroner's impeachment.
Snyder came to this city alone,
roomed at Hollands home, and be-
came engaged with Padgett in a
fruit-selling business.

declared.
Later I went to Vehlings Office
and he told me not to worry about
the estate-that he was holding in
surance policies, $3.50 in postal saw

real estate"
The property has been turned
over to Snyders widow in Cincin-
natl. according to Fred Barrett,
Vehling's attorney.
A demurrer to Hollands suit was
filed today for Vehling by Barrett
It asks that the impeachment suit
be dismissed, on the ground that
only the county prosecutor has the
right to bring impeachment charges
against a public official, and that,
therefore, the court is without ju-
risdiction.
Barrett's demurrer a.so alleges
that the facts are not sufficient TO
prosecute.

the 1929 or 1881 Appropriation act.
The auditor can honor the Leslie
checks for the building cleaning

ion held on the fourth and last
question asked by Williamson.
This somewhat Eyes and no" re-

absolute decision on the validity of
the particular contract in question,
which is the one entered into by
the buildings and grounds commit

Asked regarding the contract it

By United Press
YPSILANTI, Mich, Aug. 1.-THE
badly burned bodies of two young
Cleveland girls and two Ypsilanti
youths were found in charred au-
tomobile OH the outskirts of the

The four apparently had been
robbed and attacked and the car

ants, police said.
The. dead:
Vivian Gold, Is, and Anna Har-
ris, II, Cleveland. and Harry Lore,
10 and Thomas Wheatley 16, Ypsi-
lanti.
One of the girls slippers was
found in the ditch near the car.
Evidence of a furious struggle was
found about the machine, together
with blood-soaked earth.
The four victims had not been
heard from since they left together
to attend a movie at $3.50 Monday
night.
The girls we're visiting at the
home of Lores parents, who are
relatives of one of them.
Interior of the car and the bodies
apparently had been soaked in gaso-
line before match was applied. A
heavy wrench was lying across the
neck of one of the victims. The
crime was discovered by Harvey
Santure, farmer, who saw blaze
rising and moment later heard
the roar of departing auto. Tracks

Contracts Like $4,000
Award on Capitol Illegal,
but Way Out Is Found.

Although holding that contracts
made like the $4,000 statehouse
cleaning contract are illegal, At
torney- General James M. Ogden
ruled today that payments may be
made from the Governors emer-
gency fund
Ruling was made on four ques-
tions asked by Floyd E. William
son, state auditor.
Upon receiving the opinion, Will
hanson first announced that he now
will honor Governor Harry G. Les
lies checks, paying for the progress
made by the Cincinnati Cleaning
Company.
No Appropriation Made
Later, however, he went into
conference with Frank Mayr Jr.,
secretary of state, and L. O..
Chasey, secretary to Governor Les
lie.
BY noon he was undecided and
said he might demand court or
der before making the payments.
Neither Mayr nor myself ever
was consulted in this building
cleaning matter and no blame should
attach to us if the Governor tried
to be the whole buildings and
grounds committee" Williamson as
serted.
The opinion held that contracts
made by the buildings and grounds
committee are illegal unless there
is an appropriation available for
the purpose.
Not Absolute Decision
No such appropriation mad been
made when the cleaning contract
was signed.
Such contracts are not binding
on the signers, Ogden answered to
the second Williamson question.
But to third question he pointed
out that the Governor can pay al
most anything from his emergency
fund, since there are no legislative

HOPE WAVES FOR
CRAMER, AVIATOR
MISSING IN NORTH
Mail Trail Blazer, Overdue
Three Days, Is Object of
Intensive Hunt.

COPENHAGEN, Aug. 11-Hope
waned today for the safety of Par
ker D. Cramer, American tranS-At-
lantic f1ier, nearly three days over
due on the last lap of his flight over
the storm swept Atlantic.
Storms delayed airplane search
parties planned under the direction
of Captain Riiser-Larsen, Norwegian
flier. Riser Larson is ready to lead
relief expedition out from Bergen
on the west coast of Norway, wher
the heavy weather lifts.
Cramer, accompanied by Oliver
Pacquette, Canadian radio opera
tor, had not been heard from since
late last Saturday. The two left
Sydero, on the Farce islands, at ]
p. m, Saturday, on an 800-mile
flight to Copenhagen.
Their flight started at Detroit
July q. and was designed to map an
air route linking America and Eu-
rope by way of Greenland, Iceland
and Norway.
The American f1ier had long ex-
perience to aid him on the flight
across the north Atlantic, experts
pointed out, There was some hope
that Cramer again might have been
forced down at sea and was riding
out the storm in his sturdy sea-
plane.
The only other hope lay In the
possibility they had been picked up
by a small vessel without radio
equipment. Damage to their own
sending set would explain lack of
word from them since Saturday.
All ships at sea along the route
believed taken by Cramer off the
Norway coast were asked to watch
for the plane and give it every pos
sible assistance.
