ACID THROWN
ON CHILDREN
Unknown Attacker Uses
Acid Of Type Not
Determined

TROY, N. Y, July 81. (UP)-
Police last night searched for an
unknown acid attacker who late
yesterday sent eight children
screaming from their play with
deep but not serious burns about
their heads, arms and legs. =.
The attack was made while sew
en- boys and a girl were playing
cards on the front porch of a
house. Police are considering the
theory that the acid was thrown
from a second story window.
The screams of the victims
brought a crowd of parents and
neighbors and two policemen were
rushed from first precinct to
maintain order. There was no vio-
lence, police said.
The second floor of the house
is occupied by a Mrs. Rane, own
err of the building, police reported.
DR.. James V. Barrett, attend
ing, could not determine the type
acid employed by the attacker. He
did say, however, that one of the
victims told him "smoke seemed
to come out of the water"
Others said at stunt us terri
BILE and we all started to scream
The children ran into the near
by home of playmate and at
tempted to wash away the acid
with water. "The water only hurt
MORE" they said.

Fight
Not Restoration
Effort, Is Belief
Col. Franco Says Type Of
Republic To Be Chosen
Causes War

WASHINGTON, July 81. (UP)
Civil war RACES in Spain today be-
cause of dispute over the kind of
republic best suited for the nation
and not over restoration of a
monarchy, Major Ramon Franco,
brother of the rebel chieftain, Col.
Francisco Franco, said today.
Major Franco, sometimes called
the "Lindbergh" of Spain, is a
hero of the original Republican
revolution of 1881 because of a
daring single-handed propaganda
flight he made over Madrid call
ing the people to revolt. The act
is widely credited with touching
the final spark that exploded the
century-old Bourbon monarchy. 1t
made him known as the paul Re-
we're" of Republican Spain.
Today Major Franco is in the
difficult position of being a rep
resentative as air attache here of
the Republican government abroad
and finding his brother attacking
that regime.
He said he had not heard from
his brother since coming to Amer
lea, but that he felt positive his
brother would not consider the
restoration of a monarchy, if sue
cessful in the present struggle.
This is not a rebellion to re-
store the monarchy, / am sure, ="
he said. at is a struggle over the
social order and what kind of re-
public Spain shall have. 1 am con-
fident that whatever happens, even
if bv brothers forces gain control
of the government they will never
consider restoration of a king"
Franco said there has been dis
pute among factions of the Re-
publicans for a long time over the
type of government and that this
apparently had broken into war
fare. The situation is different
from 1881, when all Republicans
were united against the monarchy,
he said.

COSMETIC LAW
IN N. STRICT.
Workers Need Not Accept
Money To Be Liable,
Says Mrs. Forrest

Mrs. Willard Laughter, charged
with practicing without license
under the state cosmetic art law,
will be given trial by jury in the
county recorders court August
"a.
The case is one of many that
have been prepared by Mrs. John
L. Forrest and two others acting
in this state as inspectors under
gubernatorial appointment as pro-
vided by the act to regulate the
practice of cosmetic art in North
Carolina. Mrs. Forrest was ap-
pointed last August, and since
then has spent much of her time
in the field, her duty being to in
spect the operations of beauty
shops in Charlotte and the terri
tory west.
Referring to the act, Mrs. For
rest said today that all girls who
are practicing finger waving with
out license are subject to arrest.
She said that in every town she
makes on her inspection tours the
licensed operators have a long list
of complaints against persons re-
ported to be practicing without Ii
censes. 1t is her duty to obtain
evidence for the prosecution of
such cases.
Violations of the act regulating
the practice of cosmetic art in
this state are construed as mis-
demeanor and are punishable by
fine ranging from $40 to $50,
inclusive, or Imprisonment for not
less than ten days nor more than
80 days.
Mrs. Forrest pointed out today
that person need not accept
money for services in order to be
subject to the law of practicing
the cosmetic arts without license.

WELL BORERSI IN COUNTY ARE
BELIEVED TO HAVE FOUND
CRUDE OIL MIXED IN WATER
Place Kept Secret But
Some Oil Found Near
by Years Ago

Water which seems to be mixed
with some form of crude oil, has
been discovered in this county in
the process of drilling well about
seven miles from Hendersonville.
The owner of the property report
ed the fact, but asked that his
name not be mentioned in connec-
ton with any news story.
When the we'll was drilled to
water, it was found that the water
had peculiar properties. When
used for the making of coffee it
entirely killed the taste of the
coffee, and when used for making
tea it turned black, resembling
ink.
1t was also discovered that when
some of the water was allowed to
stand, a thin film of oil rose to
the surface. 1t is believed that
the effect on coffee and tea is the
result of the presence of iron in
the water, and the presence of oil
in the water is not the first in
stance of it's kind in this county.
Some yaers ago on property ad-
joining the present well some oil
was discovered in we'll water.
The well at present has been
sunk some 10 feet through sand
and gravel and about 25 feet
through rock. This is about As or
so feet deeper than any of the
wells in the neighborhood. The
owner of the property states that
he has been informed by several
people that the water resembles
that found near the oil wells in
Arkansas.

The murder Of Helen Clevenger,
New York University honor stu

penetrable mystery today as all
major clues led police and sher-

circuitous path but always came
back to the hotel room in which
the blonde 19-year-old co-ed's
body was found six days ago,
Sheriff Laurence Brown, who
admitted ne is working on q tough

The manhunt for the slayer Of
pretty Helen Clevenger turned
last night to the person who pos
sessed master key to rooms in
the Battery Park hotel, where the
New York university honor stu
dent was slain Thursday before
dawn.
The key would open guest
rooms in the hotel even with the
door locked from the inside and
with the guests key in the lock,
it was explained. ,..'
Sheriff Lawrence Brown said
the ownership Of the key had not
been traced and the hotel man.
agement was not aware of its ex-
istence. Eleven other similar keys
issued to recognized employees of
the hotel were traced and found
to be in possession of their right
full owners, Brown said.
simultaneously with this an
nouncement, the sheriff said that
he was prepared to release short
ly statement regarding an elm
portant new development" in the
murder mystery. He would not
elaborate on his statement and
told newspapermen he did not
know when it would be available.
Brown said one of his deputies

Clevenger's room. The regular key
for the room, he said, was found
