REILLY ESTATE AGAIN IN COURT By Ruling of Judge Wynne .sr It Is Back Where It
 Started

The status of the affairs of the estate of the late Attorney Edward Kelley was back in it's original quan- diary today, in spite of the superior court action which 1t was thought might clear 1t a little.
 Judge Kenneth Wynne today dis missed the appeal of Mrs. Bessie A.. Kelley from the action of the pro- bate court, which removed her as administrative of the estate, and then refused to accept her report. This is another case that has been to the supreme court, and sent back for further trial.
 Under the present situation, Mrs. Kelley will be expected to prepare another report and present 1t to the probate court for approval.
 Judge Wynne Opion
 In his opinion today, Judge Wynne says in regard to the situa- ton, "The removal of Mrs. Kelley as administratrix involves no reflection upon her in any degree. Neither her honesty, good faith, or business judgment has been impugned or questioned"
 Judge Wynne says that the pro- bate court is the proper tribunal to pass upon the final account of Mrs. Kelley. "Only an account prepared by Mrs. Kelley on the basis of what has now been made clear. filed in probate court and passed upon there can give hope of orderly appeals and determination" says Judge Wynne.

loss was great blow to Italy-and the world. They said his name would add to the immortal glory Of Italy. The Catholic newspaper Avvenire D'1talia suggested that all the worlds countless radio stations should be silent for one moment
 during the funeral services this afternoon. One of Marconi's collabo- rators, the Marchese Luigi solari, revealed that experiments which death interrupted would have snatched new secrets from nature to improve television. Marconi was a staunch fascist to the end--and many Italians loved him more for that, than for all his inventive genius. Only on Monday he had in- sisted on keeping an appointment with Mussolini--"T must go," he said, something tells me this is the last time I shall sec Il Duce."
 His death recalled an incident in connection with his early experi- ments in the field of radio which, many Italians claimed, helped change the foreign conception of Italians as organ grinders with monkeys." When Marconi was forc- ed to go to England in ieo6 to seek aid in developing the radio-ftaly refused to help hiin--one London newspaper wrote: Another Italian has arrived in London with . little hand organ but without . monkey This organ dcesnt make music but with 1t he wants to make noise." 4 few years later, Marconi sent the first wireless message across the At Iantic.

POLICE AGAINST BELGRADE RIOTS

Belgrade, Jugoslavia, July 21- (UP) - Police took extraordinary precautions against rioting today, while the lower chamber of parlia- ment prepared for the final debate on treaty between the government and the Vatican. The government hoped that the chamber would rati- fy the pact tonight and send it to the senate tomorrow. Angry part. sans of the Greek Orthodox church clashed with police last night for the second time within 24 hours in a protest demonstration against the treaty.
 Several persons were injured in rioiting in Kalimegdan park near the Orthodox cathedral. A police guard was stoned when Orthodox demonstrators were denied entrance to the cathedral. The police fired into the, air and cleared the park with bayonets. M
 Tension spread through the na- ton as the government sought to prevent further violence by banning mass meetings and parades. The orthodox Holy Synod ordered church bells toiled every half hour through the day and night in pro- test against tbe sseaty.

Belief was growing that the prospectors had stumbled on a mine of fabulous wealth, worked centuries ago by the spanish con- uuistadoreS, of which all trace had been lost. News of the reported find has been coming from the pro- vince for a week, and every new re- port, as the government investigat- ed. tended to magnify rather than minimize the importance of the discovery. Now provincial police have the treasure-l20 bars of gold, each weighing 50 pounds, according to the government statement-un- der guard.
 The government intends to send two planes to the area today to join three already sent. So remote is the district that 1t will be neces- sary first to transport the gold by horse and mule trains. Then police trucks will take 1t to the nearest practicable landing place for air- planes, and it will be brought here by. air.
 The story of the find is as fol- lows: Airing Thorpe, American; Joannes Van Steck, a Frenchnian, and Antonio Hill. a German. were prospecting near the tiny wild set- clement of Piedra Candela in Chic riqui province.

Two nuns knelt in prayer be" side the bier. On Marconi's knee rested his academician's hat and by his side lay his golden chain and dagger.
