Referring to the Revolution and its achievements, he said in part: "Nothing but the first act of the great drama is closed. It remains yet to establish and perfect our new forms of government; and to prepare the principles, morals and manners of our citizens for these forms of government after they are established and brought to perfection." Fortified, undoubtedly, by these expressions of hope, the delegates reconvened on July 5 to consider the committee report on representation in the National Legislature. Vigorous discussion ensued By July 10 however, they had agreed that the lower house alone should originate appropriation bills, that each state should have equal representation in the upper house, and that the National Legislature should regulate, from time to time, the ratio of representation. But these solved only a few of the problems confronting the Convention. On the principles they established, and the points still unsettled, long and sometimes heated debate was to follow. Next Week; "The Great Compro1 mise.", ! murders of Melba Everett. 9, her j sister. Madeline, 7. and Jeanette I Stephens, 8. were comparable today to those of the two little Martin sisters in 1924 or of Marion Parker in 1927. The three bodies were found in a ravine late Monday by four Boy i Scouts, members of a searching i party of 1,000 men and boys, including federal agents, sheriffs, police and civilians, among whom were 200 legionnaires. An airplane pilot first noticed three splotches of color on the ground that he thought might be the girls’ clothes. He relayed the information to the ground and the boys, led by Richard Vogt, 17, made the discovery. The boys were so shocked that they took only a glance and returned for elder members of the posse. I The remains of a campfire lay jin the ravine. Beside it. the three | girls’ shoes were arranged in an • orderly row. Nearest the ashes | was the body of Jeanette Stephi ens. Her clothing was torn to | shreds, the underclothing having i been ripped off. wadded up ant! ■ tossed aside. She had died of strangulation and had been i assaulted criminally. Twenty-five yards beyond lay j the body of Madeline. Her dothi ing was in better array. Beyond, about 25 yards, lay [Madeline’s sister, Melba. Her I clothes had been torn away. All three girls’ faces were covI ered by their arms. They were garroted with two-foot lengths of ■ rope, which were left looped about ( ithe necks The bodies were smeared with blood. Autopsy Surgeon A. F. Wagner said all three had been strangled after they were assaulted. They had been dead probably since Saturday night, doctors said I Eugene Williams, chief investigator of the Los Angeles district attorneys office. reconstructed .the scene as follows: The fiend led the girls into the ( 'ravine, which was far out of ear-1 shot of residences, and built the j I bonfire. One by one he took th< m i away First to go was Melba. : Madeline and Jeanette followed In . that order. The killer shut off I their screams with the iopt. ! when he had flnlsted the assaults [and strangulations, he tossed th. bodies aside. M ■— — ~ SORG’S MARKET Wednesday Specials franks 15® BOLOGNA .

JOHNSTOWN STEEL iCONTTNTTICD FROM Ptntr fiNf' est of the bombings led to th? arrest of the three men now tn Jail. According to police, the throe confessed that: Hall provided them with funds and sent them to Oil City, Pa., to obtain nitroglycerin. They found the explosives had been paid for and packed in eight Ounce bottles. They returned to Warren with two and one-half quarts, police sairt, part of which they stored in C. 1.0. headquarters adjoining a frame’ hotel near the mill entrance. Only the fact that the alleged I terrorists were poor chemists and ~ did not know how to mix the ex-

plosives properly prevented far greater damage than occurred in the three blasts, according to police, who said they found one quart of the nitro glycerin in Bundas’ home and another quart in Borawsfcz'a home. Police said the three confessed that on Wednesday night they sot out with Charles Byers and Joe Orowitz in an automobile to blow tip a railroad bridge connecting the Republic blast furnaces with the open hearth furnaces, a vital link in the plant operations. Warrants also have been issued for Byers and Orowitz. Board To Report Washington, June 29— (U.K) — Chairman Charles P. Tsft of the federal steel mediation board said today the board had recommended to secretary of labor Francos Perkins a face-to-face conference of steel operators and strike leaders.

He said recommendation for the face to face meeting would b.? embodied in the report which prob-

ably will bo made public tomorrow. Taft’s statement was made after conclusion of a conference with Mirs Perkins and assistant secretary of islior Edward F McGrady, also a member of the steel board Taft antis for Europe tomorrow. Taft went from the conference to the White House for an appointment with President Roosevelt to discuss the community chest movement and the steel situation.
