REVIVAL OF WARFARE
TAKES LIFE OF ONE
J E W; ANOTHER HURT

JERUSALEM, Palestine, April
7.-U.H-One Jew was shot and
killed and another seriously wound
ed in Jerusalem today when they
tried to flee from British patrols
that had challenged them.
Tonight an explosion was heard
in Tel Aviv, believedly from a
pamphlet bomb. It was feared the
incident marked the end of the
] e W S h underground's holiday
truce in attacks against the Brit
ish.
Earlier Friday, Sir William
Fitzgerald, chief Justice Of the
Palestine high court, rejected an
appeal by Mayor Israel Rokah of
Tel Aviv to save the life of Dow
Gruner.
Fitzgerald said Rokah had no
particular interest in the judgment
against Gruner but was only "ag-
grieved with the rest of the com
munity."
Gruner was sentenced to death
by a military court for participat-
ing in an underground attack in
which a police officer was killed.

COUNTY MAY ACT
ON BUREAU HERE
c:tion On Identification
Set-Up Seen For Next
Week

The transfer of authority and
operation of the City-County
bureau of Identification probably
will come before the county COM
missioners next Monday for def
mite action, Thomas K. Woody,
clerk to the board, said last night.
Woody said that he had no idea
what the commissioners would do
about the matter, a controversy
hanging fire for several weeks
now, but he said he felt that some
action would be taken.
AS the bureau now is constitut-
ed, operation authority is vested
in both the city and county
government. According to reports
to t h commissioners yesterday,
City Manager J. r. Benson is will
ing that the city assume its op-
Grafton.
At the same time, the commits
sioners heard a request by state
Rep. r. M. Kermon that jurors
salaries be raised from So to some
higher figure, probably SIS a day,
At the present time there is a bill
before the General Assembly
which would raise jurors pay to
S. a day in each of the states
100 counties.
However, under existing Law,
the county commissioners have
the authority to pay jurors as
much as 81 a day, Woody said.
He said he felt that the commits
sioners soon would raise the
Jurors pay to that figure:
At the same time, the commits
sioners asked Kermon to introduce
legislation which would give them
power to name a deputy coroner.
Under the present set up, a per
son who substitutes for the
coroner has to take an oath before
the clerk of the superior court
each time he acts in his stead.
The legislation would make
some person the permanent legal
assistant of Coroner Gordon
Doran.
Meanwhile, cancellation OF
all back county taxes prior to 1920
was asked by Commissioner
George , Trask. No action was
taken on this request. The COM
m~issioners also had a request
from the state Highway Commits
sion asking for a formal abandon
ment notice of that section of the
old Mears road in Winter Park -
between Carr Ave. and Macmillan
St.
The commissioners plan extern
sive paving work on Cedar ST., the
lane which was taken over when
Mears road was abandoned by the
state several years ago.
