DESERTED CAMP GIVES CLEWS IN jCOLUNGS DEATH Site Near Scene of Bay Murder Believed to Be Pirates’ Lair. By United Press HUNTINGTON, L. 1., Oct. 5. New clews to the Collings yacht murder mystery have been uncovered by investigators for Suffolk county, who discovered what appears to be the spot where Benjamin P. Collings’ murderers camped before the tragedy. Felix Di Martini, special investigator, announced he stumped across an abandoned camp site at Winkle Point on Price’s Bend, not more than a few thousand yards from the spot where the cabin cruiser Penguin was anchored the night of Sept. 9. Among the clews found at the camp were: Pieces of rope said to be similar to the rope with which Collings was tied and thrown overboard to drown. Knots in the rope were said to be the same kind as those used in tying the yachtsman. Tent Stakes Abandoned Several emply milk bottles. It was recalled that Collings was struck on the head, apparently with a milk bottle, and suffered a skull fracture. Pieces of the bottle were found in the Penguin’s cockpit. But the bottles at the camp were those of another dairy. Bridgeport (Conn.) newspapers of July, August and September dates. Tent stakes, indicating the campers left in a hurry. Virtually every other clew to the two “pirates’’ who kidnaped Mrs. Collings after the murder have proved of no value. Widow Back From South Mrs. Collings returned to her home in Stamford Sunday from Daytona Beach, Fla., where she had gone to view Dr. Leslie D. Ritchie, South Norwalk veterinarian, and his son William, who had been detained there when their names were mentioned in newspaper accounts of the story. She picked the men out of a crowd at the Daytona Beach police station, from photographs she had seen in New York, but declared emphatically they were not the men who killed her husband.

FARMERS' GAS TAX 'RACKET' IS BAREDINSTATE Alleged False Affidavit for Refund Probed by Auditor. Armed with an opinion from the attorney-general, Floyd E. "Williamson, state auditor, today proceeded to halt anew variety of “farm belief” which, he says, is growing in Indiana. It is the tendency of certain farmers to finance their fall tax payments and other expenditures through gasoline tax refunds, rather than the harvest sales. According to Williamson he received an affidavit for refifnd of tax on 2.100 gallons from a Knox county farmer, who, investigation disclosed, had not purchased more than 300 gallons. The probe was conducted by Howard Rhea of the gasoline tax department in Williamson's office. So an opinion was asked of At-torney-General James M. Ogden as to whether or not refund be allowed for true amounts consumed in agricultural operations, when a false affidavit is filed. Ogden's answer sets out that it is not up to the state to separate the true from the false and that where errors in affidavits are disclosed the whole refunds request should be turned down. The opinion also cites that the law against

making such false statements provides for fines up to SI,OOO. “This false refund business has got to stop,” Williamson asserted today. “It is amazing to think how jome farmers will be willing to face arrest for the sake of getting a few free dollars from the state. “Why one farmer changed the date on an affidavit for a refund of 13 cents.” MOTHERHOODJS LAUDED “What America needs rather than battleships, military and financial greatness to save her is Christian motherhood,” Dr. J. Ambrose Dunkel told 8,000 persons attending rededication services Sunday at Cadle tabernacle, which marked formal restoration of the tabernacle for religious and educational purposes. “We always can find God in His house of worship. I never have been able to find Him at the end of a golf club or a fishing pole," the pastor declared. Cadle tabernacle was named in honor of Mrs. Etta Cadle, mother of E. Howard Cadle. A large oil painting of Mrs. Cadle was unveiled Sunday.
