AR A JUVENILE COURT WARD MAY BE HEIR TO WEALTH 14-Year-Old Girl Is Believed to Have Inherited Estate Valued at $25,000. By the Associated Press. ASHEVILLE, N. C., December 17.— Elizabeth Wright, 14-year-old ward of the Asheville Juvenile Court, is await- ing the arrival of a strong box key to learn whether or not she is to inherit & modest fortune. Left destitute three years ago by her rents, she is believed to be the sole g:‘.r, S. N. Gurley, who died here last week leaving an estate estimated at from $20,000 to $25,000. After her parents were gone, Elizabeth stayed under the jurisdiction of the court, but spent many vacations with her aged man and his wife. Then Mrs. Gurley died and the visits became more infrequent. Neighbors say, though, that Gurley left everything to the girl, but until the key to the strong box is found she will not know. Banks in botH North Carolina and South Carolina have been advised to hold funds on deposit to Gurley’s credit while the search goes on.

GANTA BARBARA, Calif., December 17.—There may be sermons in stones and books in the running brooks, but! it was left for a Santa Barbara woman | to reveal yesterday that there is a Schu- bert melody in a pan of boiling beans. As the hoarse voice of a radio an- nouncer burst through the kitchen steam of & quiet home here and the strains of “Ave Maria” filtered from a pan of beans simmering on the electric range, the housewife might have been excused had she exhibited a touch of nervousness, because there n't & radio set anywhere in the hous But she didn’t. She approached the range in a scientific spirit and stirred the beans vigorously. 1In answer a | whole chorus burst into a hunting song, | following by & crooning plantation | melody. l Radio experts admitted they were baffled by the phenomenon, but pointed | {out that radio music has been heard | | in hot-air shafts connected with elec- | | tric_ furnaces. The bottom of the pan | might h: acted as a diaphram and | | reproduced & radio program picked up | inductively by the electric power line they added. | - e | _— i New York police yesterday requested | Washington_authorities to_notify rela tives: here of the death of Rose Damico, 125 East 104th street, and her daugh- ter, Zina, who were shot and killed, police allege, by Stefano Burgio, with whom the mother is said to have left Washington nine years ago.
