Police said there was no apparent connection between the musician and Daddy. Brown said nothing bad been learned to indicate that Wollner knew Miss Clevenger. The girl had been here only two days before she was slain. Ignoring for a moment Wellner's apparent lack of motive, police were intrigued by a doctor’s announcement that the handsome violinist’s left foot was severely bruised. Bellboys told police they saw a man run outside the hotel and vault a high porch railing shortly after the time Miss Clevenger was believed to have been attacked. “That bruised foot is the most significant development yet." Brown said. o RIGID CENSORSHIP ON"tTNFEI> FROM ON®> Revere" of the Spanish revolution in 1931 and brother of the present rebellion leader, said today that Spain will remain a republic regardless of who wins the present civil war. “There is not a rebellion to restore the monarchy." he said. “It Is a struggle over the social order and what kind of republic Spain is to have. I am sure that whatever happens, even if my brother’s forces win they will never consider restoration of a king." For his daring flight over Madrid in December, 1930, when he scattered thousands of leaflets proclaiming the advent of republican Spain, Franco was credited with touching the spark of popular fire which eventually blew the lid off the century old Bourbon dynasty in Spall. Franco already was Spain’s No. 1 a rial hero, sometimes called the “Lindbergh" of Spain for his transoceanic aviation exploits including a flight to Buenos Aires in 1926. Today, as air attache of the Spanish embassy he recalled the beginning of the original republican revolution in Spain and contrasted it with the present struggle. o Forest Fires Cause State $3,861 Damage Indianapolis, July 20. — Forest fires consumed 1,153 acres of Hoosier forest during a 37-day period, beginning July 1 and ending July 7. wrought 83,861 worth of damage and were controlled at a suppression cost of J 244.31, according to reports received today by the department of conservation.
