Several cases of rabies have been reported. Since the days of the Conquista- dores, who brought modern fabric clothing to Nicaragua, the women of this section have washed their clothes in the lakes about the city. Forty who were thus engaged Tuesday at a small lake in the crater of a volcano above the city were caught unawares by a landslide precipitated by the quake and thrown into the lake, where they drowned. Marine patrols recovered the 40 bodies. The marines reported that other women were washing at the other side of the lake as they took the bod- ies out, just as if nothing had hap- ed. pened.

En route to the jnorthern cities they will have to make some arrangements for warmer clothes since they had none here and could have carried nothing with them by plane had they possessed anything.

FORMER NEBRASKA BANKER IS EAGER TO GET BACK HOME Sheriff Will Ask Paul Wupper, Held in Philadelphia, to Waive Extradition Philadelphia, April 4—(P)—Officers arrived Saturday to take back to Ne- braska Paul Wupper, charged with embezzlement in the wrecking of the State Bank at Beemer, Neb. two years ago. Charles Sass, sheriff of Cuming county, Neb.; Fred Benton, state's deputy of Lincoln, and Henry Sand- ers, Beemer, a real estate operator, had with them papers signed by Gov- ernor Bryan of Nebraska for Wup- per's extradition. The sheriff decided to ask Wupper to waive extradition. If he agrees, the Nebraska authorities will confer with District Attorney John Monog- han as to whether it would be legal to take Wupper back Saturday after- noon. Sheriff Sass said Wupper always was regarded as an outstanding citi- zen of his section of Nebraska, and that his home there covered a city block. ‘Wupper has been in Moyamensing prison for three weeks. He was first gent there on a charge of non-sup- port which later was changed to bigamy when his wife discovered she was spouse No. 2. After the closing of the Beemer bank, Wupper wandered about the country and finally came to Philadel- phia where he met Miss Hedwig Hirsch in a cafe and later married her. Unable to support his wife he is alleged to have deserted her and was arrested in New York and re- turned here. ‘Wupper was kept in Moyamensing prison so long on the non-support charge, waiting for it to come up in domestic relations court, that he su- spected Mrs. Brinkmann had become aware of his bigamous marriage, he eaid, and voluntarily told police he was wanted in Nebraska for embez- slement. ‘Wupper, detectives say, appears eager to get back to Nebraska to see members of his family.

C., president of Notre Dame university at the famous coach’s funeral services 8: “In an age that has stmped itself as the era of the ‘go getter,’ a hor- rible, ruthless thing—he was a go- giver,” Father O'Donnell said. “He made use of all the proper machinery and the legitimate methods of mod- ern activity to be not essentially modern at all; to be quite elementary, human, Christian, giving himself, spending himself like water, not for himself, for others.” Father O'Donnell, in his sermon, said in part: “In this Holy week of Christ’s pas- sion and death there has occurred a tragic event which accounts for our presence here today. Knute Rockne is dead. And who was he?
