years of advance education. That
would leave the universities free to
concentrate on advance students."

BRITE CASES TO
BE CARRIED UP
Yreka. Calif., Dec. 21 (Pi Counsel
for John and Coka Brite. con
demned to death by a jury for kill-
lng three men at Horse creek, today
prepared to carry the case to the
state supreme court.
Horace Frye, Sacramento attor
ney, said he will move for a new
trial as the first step towards ap
peal when the mountain brothers
appear before Superior Judge C. L.
Luttrell for sentence at 10 a. m. to
morrow.
The Jury, in a Saturday night ver
dict, convicted the Brltes of mur
dering Deputy Sheriff Martin Ilange
Constable Joseph Clark and Fred
Seaborn, vacationer, August 30. The
first degree murder conviction, with
out recommendation, made the death
penalty mandatory.
Fry indicated the basis of his ap
peal will be the contention that
the Brltes, who claimed they were
attacked and resisted in self-defense,
did not obtain a fair trial.
The attorney contended lynching
threats, heard openly before the
Brltes surrendered at their moun
tain hideout to District Attorney
James Davis, indicated bias on (he
part of the community.
Lange. Clark and Seaborn were
killed while attempting to arrest
the Brltes on an assault warrant
sworn to by Charles Baker, a moun
tain neighbor.
Warner Baxter Aids
School at Columbus
Columbus, O., Dec. 21 IU.R) War
ner Baxter, suave movie star and
native of Columbus, remembered
the elementary school where he first
received his reputation as an actor
at benefit performances by gift of
a moving-picture projection mach
ine, equipped with sound mechanism
and a screen.
The Hubbard Avenue Elementary
School Parent-Teacher association
had appealed to Baxter for the
machine so the dullness of geo
graphy and nature studies aa Illus
trated by textbooks could be brought
to life by motion pictures. The Hol
lywood actor immediately sent the
movie apparatus.
Baxter attended the little school
more than two decades ago and re
ceived all his elementary training
there. He left Columbus for the
stage at the age of 20.

STUDENTS TO AID
TESTS BY PICCARD
Duluth, Minn., Dec. 21 ftl.R) A 22-year-old
Duluth senior in the aero
nautics department of the Univer
sity of Minnesota has taken an im
portant part in the recent strato
sphere flights by unmanned balloons
sent aloft by Prof Jean Plccard.
The youth, Harold Larsen, has
been working closely with Dr. and
Mrs. Plccard, Prof. John Ackerman
of the university staff, and Miss
Jean Barnhill, another atudent.
Larsen and Miss Barnhill built
the first bag sent into the.strato
sphere last June. It was made of
cellulose material to permit sun
rays to pass through without heat
ing the hydrogen gas inside. It was
found, however, that unless there
was some way to let the gas out. the
balloon might get too far out of
reach.
Larsen developed a unique device
consisting of a scaler ring sur-
mounted by a small alarm clock at
the top of the 30-foot bag. The
clock can be set to make an incision
in the balloon after it has been
aloft for five hours, thus permitting
a slow and safe descent of the bal
loon. Larson also aided in designing
and building the tiny radio In the
balloon, which broadcasts Its call
letters, the height It has reached,
the temperature and relative hu
midity, once every eight minutes.

Erlvan, Soviet Armenia, Dec. 21
(U.PJ The Soviet-Persian frontier,

after bounding across the frontier.
Shepherds surrounded the tiger.
wounding it. With a great roar the
beast fled Into a cave where It re
mained five days before hunters
dared to enter. They found It dead.
