Reno. His yacht, the Sirocco, docked a few hours earlier at San Pedro. It ran into a storm after leaving Cape San Lucas, lost its mainsail, and had to seek shelter until the wind blew itself out. Then, 100 miles south of Ensenada, it ran out of fuel and had to make a long tack out to sea to reach the Mexican port. The overhaul will cost the actor a pretty penny. Threatened discord in "The Sisters” company was smoothed over and the troupe had a big party at the Lakeside Country club after finishing the picture. Biggest laugh of the evening was when Bette Davis arrived in a vintage bathing suit with long skirt and black stockings. The SSO prize offered by Michael Curtiz to the "Dead End" kid who kept the quietest during the filming of "Angels With Dirty Faces” finally had to be split up evenly between them. "Nobody deserved to win," explained Mike. Interesting that James Cagney will have to do the death house scene all over again for the English release of this film. British censors won't - okay the long march to the electric chair or any scene in the actual execution chamber. American censors ban the victim being photographed in the chair. The scene is put over by showing the I'imming of lights and the react 'ons on the spectators' faces. Olivia de Havilland’s hairdresser, Ruth Pursley, had to be patched - up by navy doctors after a practical joke went

wrong on a North island location trip. Nothing serious, but she was bruised and scratched when a wheel chair in which she was sitting did a ground loop. John Payne had shoved the chair as a gag. . . . Carol Ann Beery gets her

Added improvements to the buildings and grounds, together with increased caliber of exhibits and amusements will make the 1938 Indiana State Fair, Sept. 3rd to 9th, inclusive, a bigger and better ex-

H. G. Templeton

position, according to Harry G. Templeton, manager. A new sewer system has been constructed during the past year which has proven its worth during i the heavy rains of the present summer, carrying away the water in rapid manner while other parts of Indianapolis were flooded. The Fairgrounds streets were traversable at all times. The new saddle horse barn erected last year was insufficient, and a new wing containing 55 new box stalls was added this summer ir.rreasing the capacity of the building to 257. A beautiful new concrete stage has been erected in front of the grandstand. Dressing rooms beneath the stage for the performers and modern lighting and sound systems make this a modern theater setting for the thousands in the grandstand to view hippodrome acts during the races and glamorous stage shows at night. Such outstanding attractions as I the “Parade of Stars,” night stage show at grandstand Sept. 4 to 9; | Lucky Teter and his Hell Drivers in a Thrill Show on Sunday afternoon; $19,150 premiums and I purses without deduction, for Indiana’s Great Night Horse Show, Sept. 4 to 9, and Johnny J Jones shows on Midway help make the Indiana State Fair the best in the • nation. The total premiums offered this year will be $147,377.65, an in- • crease of $13,000 over last year, an d—a new high. These are just a few reasons why every citizen of Indiana should attend the Indiana State Fair—day and .night —Sept. 3 to 9.

TORSO MURDERS STIR CLEVELAND 12th And 13th Headless Bodies Are Found At Cleveland i Cleveland, Aug. 17.— (U.R> —A ’ h'->idless body, without arms or i legs, was washed up on the shores , of Lake Erie today as police pieci ed together the bones of two and j possibly three new torso-murder) ; victims of the "mad butcher of year series of decapitations. The latest body found was nude. The arms were discovered, bound j together, and police said that the victim, a man, at least had been I slain. They hesitated immediately ; to label the find one in the fouryear series of decpltations. ! i Officers fitted together bones of the 12th and 13th headless, found ' yesterday, and theorized that an , additional victim or two might be represented either by sections among the latest find of bones or possibly by the body washed up , on the beach. The body on the beach was discovered by James Bassain. while swimming. He called life guards, who summoned police. The body lay only a few yards from where persons were swimming on the park’s public beach. As a renewed hunt went on for the apparently surgically-skilled and sex-crazed killer and more of I his human wreckage, police found i additional leg and arm sections .(which they believed were parts of i the two victims found yesterday." Coroner Gerber said that the pelvis of victim 13 was that of a ■ woman while the skull which had . i been assumed to be a part of the . same body appeared now to be that , of a man. making more mysterious a crime pattern as enigmatic as , the lone killer himself. ( Police head hunters poked in the i new human boneyard—a Lake Erie ' front dump less than a quarter ’ mile from downtown Cleveland and scarcely 300 yards from the I I city’s passenger boat wharf where I yesterday’s gruesome finds were 1 made. Police experts, especially assign- ' ed to hunt the fiend whose atrocities have gone unsolved for four ■ years, poured over the clues that '! the last two bodies yielded. But they found most of them familiar and discouraging. The manner of mutilation and . | clevage of the bodies, the papers and boxes into which the pieces I were packed, the hopelessness of indetification. were all much the ' same as they had been since the j first body—that of a woman, headless and still unidentified — was i washed ashore from Lake Erie in September, 1934. ’ Coroner Gerber, who had spent four hours last night examining the remnants of the 12th butchery. threw up his arms in despair when spectators, attracted to the dump in morbid curiosity, turned up the remains of No. 13. It was the first time that two murders have been discovered in one day. Previously there had been intervals of a month to a year between the finding of victims. Only three of the 13 have been identified; only five of the 13 heads have been found. HERMAN F. EH INGER, (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) ' telephone companies in the state. With the same spirit of service he displayed in civic affairs, he con--1 stantly strove to improve the oper- ' ation of the telephone company. He had nearly realized one of his dreams, the complete modernization of the physical equipment of the plant. A new system of underground cables to replace poles and other line improvements is being finished in Decatur. Monroe and I Berne. The company was one of I the first to install the new semiautomatic types of telephones. One of the fastest switch boards in the state was recently installed in the Decatur office. His financial sense was always in demand by civic organizations. As financial chairman of the Decatur Cents, nlal Celebration in 1936. he ! developed a plan which has been widely copied over the country. At the time of his death he was finan- ; cial chairman of the St. Mary’s Catholic church’s 100th anniversary, which is to be held here next Sunday. He was married September 6, 1916, by the late Rev. J. A. Seimetz to Miss Leah Alice Hensley, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. David M. Hensley. Mr Hensley was a prominent Decatur jeweler. He was a leader in the St. Mary’s Catholic church and was a member of the Knights of Columbus and the B. P. O. Elks lodge of this city and the Fort Wayne Country Club. He was a member of the Decatur library board and secretary at the time of his death. Surviving are the widow, Mrs. Carrie Ehinger, a brother Richard, advertising manager of the Decatur Daily Democrat company, three sisters, Mrs. Lawrence Kleinhenz and Jeanette, of this city, and Sister M. Antoinette (Ethel Ehinger) of Evanston, Illinois, and two

sons, Charles and James, of (his I I’lfy. Native of Decatur Hugh D. Hite. 56, was the sou of Henry and Lillie W’llson-Hlte anil was born In Decatur, October 17, 1881. i He was educated In the Decatur i public schools and was graduated : from the International Business ’ College at Fort Wayne. , immediately after hie graduation he left for Oaxaca. Mexico, where i for two years he was associated in ‘ i the silver mining Industry. Return-; Ing to Decatur, he entered the ' clothing business and at various times was associated with Charles 1 Elzey. O. L. Vance and O. P. Macklin. He was active in Republican pol-l itica and was one of the few Republicans to hold a county office. | | He served four years as Adams I county treasurer. After leaving the treasurer’s off- : ice, he was engaged in the dry goods and ladies' ready to wear business with Herbert Burroughs, until 11 years ago when he moved to Detroit. While living in Decatur, he was, a member of the Presbyterian! church and several civic and social < organizations. At the time of his death he was manager of the Home Owner's Loan Corporation tax department I for the state of Indiana, with off-1 | ices in Detroit. He was spending a j : vacation in Decatur with relatives I and friends at the time of his death. He was married to Miss Gertrude 1 1 Wherry, who survives. Other sur- : vivors are a son. Robert, two daugh-| j ters, Mrs. Virginia Atkinson and. Jane, all of Detroit; two sitters, I Fan Hite, of Chicago, and Madge j Hite of Bradford. Rhode Island, and j a grandchild.
