FEWER FOURTH
INJURIES HERE
THAN in PAST
One Badly Injured in Head-O On
Car Crash on River Road ;
No Disorderly Conduct Ar
rests

A survey at the local police sta
ton today revealed that the July
Fourth celebration this year, al
though the largest one yet, was the
most orderly and safest and sane
one in several years.
All highways leading into Kenne-
wick the Fourth were lined with
a steady stream of cars and no ma
jor motor car fatalities were re-
ported.
There were no charges of disor-
derby conduct, nor were there any
reports of anyone being seriously
injured by fireworks.
Wednesday morning cars driven
by c. II. Snead, Richland, and Will
liam Warren, Benton City, figured
in a head-on crash on the River
Road highway a few miles west Of
Kennewick.
Mrs. Snead is reported to have
received a broken leg in the smash
up, while other passengers in the
cars are said to have received cuts
and bruises. According to police
two other cars were minor figures in
the collision.
On the Fourth just before the
rodeo swung into action the fire de-
partment made a hurried call to an
area of dry grass just adjacent to
the celebration center where grass
fire had started from undetermined
origin.
The flames were brought in check
in ample time to prevent them from
reaching the airplane landing field
or from getting within dangerous
reach of the rodeo stock corrals.

officially transferring it back to
Hunterdon county where Justice
Thomas Trencl1ard will fix a new
date for the execution Of the for
mer German machine gunner.
Filing of the remittitur vir-
tually completed the States pro-

mann's battle to escape execution
"a battle that was adversely de-
cided when the Court of Errors
and Appeals upheld his conviction
and denied his appeal for another
trial.
TrenChard to Fix Date
The document filed by Mr.. Lani-
gan today must be held by the
Secretary of State for ten days.
Then q certified copy of the rec
ord of the trial and judgment will
be sent to the clerk Of Hunterdon
County. Following its receipt,
Justice Trenchard will fix the new
date for Hauptmann'S walk over
"the last mile" to the electric

The law specifies the new date
for the execution shall not be less
than four weeks, nor more than
eight weeks, from the time the

Hauptmann'S lawyers, however,
