Pherson believes this rule should apply

In his letter to Fellows, MACPHERSON
asked that steps be taken to have the

 Limitation
Governor Tells Towns Credit Good Above
 That Amount

Although Governor Wilbur l.. Cross yesterday afternoon express ed the opinion at meeting of Con- necticut mayors that towns and cities can borrow beyond the per cent limit on the grand list in an emergency such as now exists, local officials are not considering any such action, it is understood. Waterbury's present borrowing is far below the per cent limit but local finances have been rehabili- tated in such a way, 1t IS felt, to enable the city to "carry on" with out exceeding the limit set by state statute.
 However, about GO towns in the state are facing financial difficul- ties to some extent while the re- maining 109 are in more satisfac- tory financial condition, State Tax Commissioner William Blodgett in- formed the goyrenor.
 Mayor Frank Hayes of this city was present at the session. He and the other mayors attending the conference comprised committee representing the Connecticut Mayors association. The visit to the governor was made for the purpose of devising some way of helping financially embarrassed towns.
 Although Governor Cross ex- pressed the opinion that the per cent limitation can be ignored in an emergency as now exists. it was decided to have the attorney gen. eral make a ruling on the matter before proceeding further.

Kreuger Match King
 Failure Designated
 As. Public Scandal
Protective Committee of Security Holders Are Being
 Urged By Stockholders to Support Investigation

New York, April 23-(UP)-A new independent protective com. mittee of security holders of the $2OO, 100000 Kreuger & Toll com. pany and the International Match corporation is urging stockholders to support it's investigation of the public scandar' of the manage. ment of the companies.
 Holders of Kreuger & Toll and International Match securities are requested to back the independent copmittee in its inquiry rather than the committees formed by bankers or organizations which distributed or sold the securities.
 Samuel Untermeyer and Siefriej F. Hartman are counsel for the committee, which Is headed by Bainbridge Colby, former secretary of state.
 Other members of the committee are: Max Winkler, associate pro- lessor of economies, College of the City of New York, and president of the American Council of Foreign Bondholders; Thomas H. Healy, Georgetown School of Foreign Ser vice; Denys P. Myers, director of research, World Peace Foundation: and Lindsay Rogers, professor of public law, Columbia university. The committee expressed it's dis approval of The custom of plac- ing the reorganization of insolvent and distressed corporations in the control of interests which may con- ceivably be legally or morally re- sponsible for the misfortunes of the corporation or the losses of the public which was led to invest in it's securities"
 The current value of deposited collateral behind Kreuger & Toll secured debentures is now only SIP, 900, according to the com mittee, instead of the $36.400,000 which it would have been had the original collateral been left in- tact.
 The committee charges that a "vast amount of securities either worthless or of questionable value were substituted" as security for the $50,000,000 par value of de- bentures of Kreuger & Toll, accord ing to assertions which have made the management of the corpora tions "a public scandal of grave magnitude"
 "The action of the banking houses that offered these deben- lures for public subscription as secured debentures' under an ex- traordinary trust agreement, which purported to permit the debtor cor poration to substitute for prime collateral other securities regard less of their actual value, will re- quire careful scrutiny" the an- nouncement states.
 "Manifestly, the interests con- cerned in the past management or the men selected or approved by them to serve on committees for security holders, however eminent or well intentioned, are not the best qualified for that difficult task" the committee asserts.

the use of the word advice" In the suicide note the word was spelled advise" after the English usage. Examination of many pages of manuscript prepared by Clarke while writing Mrs Keith Millers biography showed he al- ways spelled the word advice.
 Mrs Keith Miller insisted late last night that she "loved Clarke with all my heart and soul. l was proud to know Was going to marry him. She was still held, however, with her manager, Capt w. N. Lancaster, a British flyer, pending investigation. They have been associated in many long dis tance flights.
 Clarke was found dead by Capt Lancaster on the sleeping porch of the Keith-Miller home Wednes- day. The two occupied beds on the porch; Mrs Keith Miller slept inside. Lancaster had hurried here after receiving word that young Clarke and the woman fly CT planned to marry.
 Clarke lay on the floor of the porch. Lancaster's gun under one leg. Later, the Suicide notes were found, and the story of Clarke's romance with the subject of his biography, and the story of a mysterious air line to Mexico was revealed.
 Two bruises above Clarke's right ear, Dr Deederer said, could have been caused by knuckles or the butt of a gun. They might have been caused by a fall. after the shooting. The doctor said he found an indicated fracture at the base of the brain could not have been caused by the bullet which pierced the brain.
 w. H. Combs, an undertaken, also told of bruise on Clarke's shoulder he thought was caused by struggle preceding the shoot ing. It. however. might have been caused by fall, for Clarke did not die instantly.
 The handwriting experts also announced these findings:
 Captain Lancaster. in his cores pondence, always used the English spelling of the word, s"'advise". When asked to write several sen tences on a typewriter, he did not leave, spaces following d periods which ended sentences.
 Clarke, an expert typist, always used a space after each period. And in the so-called suicide notes.
