Gerald Wendt of Pennsylvania State college who is lecturing at the school, sought ves- terday to turn their knowledge of chemistry to advantage in the search for the 42 year old teacher's slayer. Iron Pipe All the evidence—the iron pipe which crushed the woman's skull rortions of clothing and even sam- ples of the soil on which her body was found—will be examined by the chemists to see if they do not hold some clue. A hair, a piece of thread. evn a grain of sand, it was pointed out, - might prove important evidence under the chemists’ examination Police investigators, aided by | deputy state’'s atorneys and repre- sentatives of the coroner’s office, were centering their investigation today around discoveries ma in comnection with John Burke, the single suspect still held. Blood stain- ed garments were found in the liv- ing quarters of the od-jobs man ves- terday.

POLISH FLIERS 10 PUT RADIO ON AIRPLANE Will Start for This Country Again Under the Same Conditions Otherwise, Hendaye, France, Aug. 11 (® — The Polish fliers, Majors Louis Idzikowski and Kasimir Kubala, intend to equip the plane which they will use on their sccond at- tempt to fly the Atlantic from ork to Paris with radio. The plan: used in their first attempt, which failed last week, was without wire- less equipment. The airmen are now fully con- vinged that wireless is a necessity for such flights to enable them to check their position, get weathe: reports. and inform others of their progress. Major Kubala will operat: the radio. The new plane will be a sesqui- plane of the same type as the first but with a larger cruising radius— at least 6,000 miles. “We will start again under the ame conditions,” Idzikowski said he plane proved its value and rode evenly and easily. It almost steered itself and we have full con- fidence in the motor.” It is now purposed to build a runway at Le Bourget which would have enabled the old plane to etart with more than a ton additional load The airmen think scientific inter- est {8 strong enough to justify a flight in 1929 even if the Paris to New York journey is accomplished before then Marine_AirpIanes Are Bombarding the Rebels Managua, Nicaragua.

ENGAGE - IN SHIPPING WORK?| Judge Questions Right of Govern- | ment Under the Constitution To Do This Newark, N. J., Aug. 11 (P— Whether the government has the right under the constitution to en- gage in shipping has been question- ed by Federal Judge William Clark He raised the issue in making per- manent an injunction restrai%ing the city of Hoboken from collecting s of $280,846 for the year 1920 on six piers seized by the federal government during the World War. The dicision involved some $3,- 0,000 in taxes the city claimed were due it, but the case at issue was only for the year 1920. Justice Clark declined to assume jurisdic- tion on the right of the city to as- sess taxes for the succeeding years Pointing out that the six piers had been taken over by the United States shipping board, a govern- ment body, Justice Clark said it was a question “whether in a govern- ment or enumerated powers like the United States we can find any power, either in the war power, the commerce clause or the general welfare clause or by implication from any of them which authorizes | the shipping business.” He said he was raising the issue at this time because he felt that the city of Hoboken was suffering a heavy burden in the operation of an antiquated rule of law and the question was one that must ulti- mately be settled by the supréme court of the United States, Colonies of African white ants often raise mounds of earth as high as 8 or 10 feet.
