MILLION rs SOUGHT
FOR ROCKNE SHRINE

that the building of such a struc-
ture was known to be one of Rock
mes fondest hopes, the association
said. AS director of athletics at
Notre Dame, he was a Staunch ad-
vocate of sports for all. and he per-
sonally supervised the universities
system of inter-hall athletics by
which virtually every student took
active part in somes port.
Plans now are being drawn, it was
said, for a building which will not
only be the center Of athletic life at
Notre Dame, but will contain a
Rockne room to be given by Notre
Dame monogram men, where the
trophies and mementoes of his
career will be housed for public dis
play.
Erskine has long been interested
in Notre Dame activities and is
chairman Of the university's board
OF lay trustees. In 1929 he offered
national championship trophy in
football to be awarded by vote OF
the nations sports writer's. Notre
Dame now holds the trophy, having
won it 1929 and 1880, and needs to
win it only once more to obtain per-
manent possession. It is expected
that Erskine will soon announce the
personnel Of the executive commit

CUSTER IS SOUGHT
Woman Is Facing Loss of
Superintendent Job.

Whether Miss Eugene Hayden,
Dale, will be permitted to retain
the Spencer county school superin-
tendency was up for discussion to-
day at the Office of George G. Cole,
superintendent of public instruction.
Cole sent his assistant, Grover
VanDuyn, to investigate when it
was learned that Miss Hayden had
been teaching English in Dale high
school when appointed county sup
erintendent. Vacancy was caused
by the death Of Carl c. Wollner,
Rockport.
Appointment was made by coun-
ty trustees upon recommendation of
the county auditor. But it was
disclosed that Miss Hayden does
not have the required superin-
tendent's license from the state de-
partment of education.
Unless this is procured by Aug.
%, state school payments will not
be made in the county, VanDuyn
warned. He said Miss Hayden is
trying to qualify in credits on adj
ninistration by taking a summer
school course at Indiana university.

BOAT BLAST BURNS
FOLLIES BEAUTIES
Disagreement for Life Is
Feared for Two Girls,
After Explosion.

Two glorified beauties feared pos
sible termination of their stage ca
reers today by burns received in an
explosion aboard the yacht of Clara
Bows former sweetheart, Harry
Richman, star Of the Follies.
The blast also injured Richman
and Mark Hellinger, Broadway
columnist, both of whom leaped
into the water to rescue other vic
tins.
Helen Walsh and Virginia Biddle,
two dark-eyed members of the
chorus, tossed on hospital cots and
prayed the flames which scared
their faces and bodies would not
dishgure their brunette beauty
permanently.
The only member of the yachting
party of six to escape unhurt was
Gladys Glad, Hellinger's wife, often
called the most beautiful of show
girls. Richman and Hellinger were
burned about the arms and legs,
and Robert Levy, Richman's chauf-
feur, suffered superficial burns.
Samuel White, skipper, was burned
about the face and thrown on to
a dock by the blast.
Girl Badly Injured
Miss Walsh was injured SO badly
it was feared she would die and the
last rites of the Catholic church
were administered.
my face is my living, I hope it
isn't burned" she moaned, after
Hellinger and Richman had rescued

cabin.

The yacht arrived here about $3.50
a: m. Sunday morning. The girls
wearing white sailor trousers and
sweaters over bathing suits, went to
the village to get ice cream while
the men had the craft loaded with
40 gallons of gasoline.
Blast Starts Blaze
Just as Levy attempted to start
the engine, a terrific blast ripped
through the craft and flames shot
out Of the cabin.
Hellinger jumped inside and found
Miss Walsh pinned to the floor I'M
der a flaming mattress. He pulled
her free and Richman carried her
out and jumped overheard with
her. Levy pushed Miss Biddle and
Miss Glad through the forward
hatch to safety. Hellinger, his shirt
ablaze, leaped overheard and
helped Richman support Miss
Walsh.
The explosion was believed caused
when a spark from the motor
ignited gasoline fumes.
The yacht was wrecked complete
ly. Richman purchased the craft,
a 32-foot sea-going cruiser, only two
weeks ago from Alexander Aarons,
Broadway producer.

Columbia university coed in a
lonely canyon in the heart of the

While admitting that they were

the girl was killed by an Apache.
Eager to clear their tribe of the
charges previously made against
some unidentified brave, dozens Of
Apaches joined in the hunt for the
girls slayer.
Most Of the Indians were acquaint-
ed personally with Miss SCHNEIDER,
a 25-year-old coed who ventured
alone into the mountain wilds to
lean if possible the tribal secrets Of
the Apaches and to gather informa-
ton on their ways of living.
She planned to write a thesis on
the subject when she returned to
college and set out upon the expedi-
ton under a special grant from New
York university.
Miss SCHNEIDER was stabbed to

Wait on Judge
Mayor Robert Stamm and his

ance of Judge Joseph r. Williams

Judge Williams is to decide

ness are legal. A temporary re-
straining order now blocks all COL

I'VE must be allowed to collect

I'VE offered to cut our fees and
compromise with the business men,
but they wrote the town clerk a fiat

Business men, led by William

SANITY EXPERT
OF EXILED BOY
He Doesn't Belong in Our
School, Is Verdict of

By Times Special
FIT. WAYNE, Ind, July 27.-"He
doesn't belong at the Indiana School
for the Feeble-Minded."
This was the answer today of c.
A. McGonagle of the state institu-
ton, to Circuit Judge Claude Smith
Of Gibson county and his expressed
wish that John Tooley, Is, the boy
he banished, be placed in the Fl
Wayne home.
The judge expressed the belief
that John belonged in the feeble
minded institution last week after
he had sent John to the Indiana
Boys school at Plainfield for DISC
beying his edict that he exile him
self from Gibson county.
Makes Grade of SO
Officials of the boys school gave
John an intelligence test and Johns
answer to the judges charge of be-
ing a feeble moron was to make a
grade of 81 in the Plainheld test.
"We give tests similar to those
given at the boys school," said Nc
Gonagle, land if John graded 80 he
doesn't belong in our institution"
"A grade of 65 is high for an in
mate Of the minded institu-
ton and Johns grade would rank
him as 'dull-normal' in our institu-
ton. He doesn't belong here" Nc
Gonagle said.
Reported Model Student
McGonagle said Gibson county
was over its quota of inmates at
his institution with eighteen listed
there as being from Gibson county.
1.-THE quota for the county is thir-
teen. We would only accept another
from Gibson when a vacancy occurs
and John measures much higher in
intelligence than the major portion
Of our inmates" McGonagle said.
In the meantime, officials OF the
boys school say John is a model
student and has given them no
trouble since his sentencing for the
theft of 50 worth of tools.
Parole to Be Studied
Possibility that the boy may be
paroled and placed in home far
removed from Gibson county is seen
in declarations Of trustees of the
Plainf1eld school that the boys case
will be studied at meeting set for
Aug. 4.
Governor Harry C. Leslie may be
requested to pardon the lad upon
his return from vacation.
Judge Smith has said that he
would countenance no executive
clemency for John unless it placed
him in another state institution, as
the school for the feeble-minded.
The boys parents are making no
efforts on his behalf. The father
has been married four times.

(Mr. Woodward Just had led an expedition
into the part of Arizona where Miss
Schmerler met her death.)
Copyright. 1881. BY Science Service)
LOS ANGELES, July 27-Accord-
ing to statements made by Miss
Henrietta Schneider, 25-year- old
student of Columbia university, a
few days before her death on the
Ft. Apache reservation, Ariz., where
she was attempting to gather data
on the little-known ceremonial and
tribal home life of the Apache In
dams, her efforts were being baked
on nearly every turn by reticence of
the Indians.
Miss SCHNEIDER also stated that
she had left New York on three
weeks notice and without having
had time to inform herself suffi-
GENTLY on the nature of the people
among whom she was to work 1t
is believed by some Of her white
acquaintance who endeavored to
aid Miss Schmerler that this I'M
preparedness and her we'll meaning
but IMMERSED attempts at working
among primitive peoples may have
been one Of the factors that indi-
rectly led to her death.
Attacked Before Killing
At a devil dance held at the
White River agency on July 4, Miss
SCHNEIDER had difficulty in obtain
ing desired information and photo
graphs. Ben Wetherell, archeolo-
gist of the Van Bergen-LoS Angeles
museum expedition working on an
archaeological survey in that region,
proffered his aid to the young stu
dent. in obtaining for her photo
graphs of devil dancers which she
desired.
At that time she intimated her
despair of being able to work into
the graces of the people, but she
appeared determined in her efforts
to carry on the work she was doing
to obtain her degree of Phi. D.
Judging from the latest press re-
ports from White River, she was
attacked criminally before she was
murdered. This brings new ele-
ment into the case, that Of vicious
sort of a home brew which it is al
legged Is manufactured in large
Quantities by some Of the Indians.
Drunken Indian Suspected
Into the crudely distilled alcoholic
drink is placed a decoction made OF
the roots of the jimsonweed, a par
ticularly vile narcotic. This drink
is said to incite partakers to q
frenzy.
It is alleged also that these drink
ing orgies in the Apache camps take
place on Saturday evenings and or
Sundays. For that reason curious
seekers are advised against making
tours of the camps along White
river at such times.
1t may be that Miss Schmerler
in her ignorance of these drinking
bouts, attempted to go from hel
cabin to one of the camps Saturday
night or Sunday morning and wa:
either followed or waylaid, assaulted
and murdered by some drunken In
