WA new angle to the afiair-not mentioned by the men in their con- fessions-wns revealed early today with the arrest of Catherine Kel- ler, at her home in Ypsilanti. She was brought to the county jail here. Officers began an investigation of reports that she accompanied the killers Tuesday when they robbed the young couples, attacked one of the girls, killed them and then bumed their bodies. Deputies said the woman was the sweetheart of smith. _ She admitted being with the men Monday night, but said that she left iii barty before the holdup and lliliinils occurred.

an undercover man for the Ypsil- anti police department. It was es- tsbliehed that the gun had been in possession of Smith as lute n; Tuesday morning.

The arrest of Smith and Black- stone iollowed Thursday morning. Then came several hours of grill- 1118 by prosecute s of Wayne and Washentaw counties. The car 1n which the charred bodies were found marks the boundary between the two counties. .

Confess to Crimes ,

Finally Blackstone gave in. He admitted that he, Smith and an- other white man killed the couples alter robbing them, carried them after robbing them, carried the‘ bod les in the rear of the automobile of Thomas Wheatley, one o1 the victims, drove past the home of Harry Lore, the other boy, and then, seeking to dispose of the ev- idences of their crime, soaked the bodies and the automobile with gasoline drained from the tank of the machine, and applied a match.

Soon Smith, who was being questions‘ in another room, also confessed.

Blackstone had named Oliver as the other member of the murder party. He was arrested while paint- ing a house in Ypsilanti. A few minutes‘ after being taken to Yps- ilanti City Hall, where the quest- 10111118 was being conducted, he cried out, “I did it, I did it’ 'and then gave a full confession oi his part in the brutal affairs

Confessions of the men and the testimony of two of them at the trial were rambling, garbled and at odds with numerous minor de- tails, indicating the condition oi the killers when they slew the young couples. v

Smith's statement that "we got disorderly oh hcoch" before the crime, added to the indications that the slayers were berserk with al- cohol. ‘

Smith and Oliver repeated “to Judge George W. Sample the con- fessions they had made at Ypsil- anti. Smith gave as the reason for the crime the fact that he was id- entified by the two boys during the robbery of the couples while they were parked on Tuttle Hill road, several miles from the scene of the burning of the automobile. Oliver said the negro twine assault- ed one of the girls, Anna May Har- rison, of Cleveland.

The other girl victim was Vivian Gold, also of Cleveland.

A

nonounces Sentence

Judge Sample then pronounced sentenc "A imprisonment in Marquette Branch prison on each of four counts, the terms not to run concurrently. The passing of the ‘sentence ln this manner practically lremoved all possibility of parole. Before imposing Judgment, the judge said, "I dont wonder that the crowd is howling for vengeance. If they had listened to this testi- mony, I em afraid they would not be as civil as they are.

“The testimony made me heart- slck-that our. highways and 0111' places oi PICISUFv should have to be infested by such worms." Officers who arrested Miss Kel- ler early today said that she WM washing a bloody shirt when they entered her house. ’I‘iiey said the shirt belonged to Smith and that the woman also had a revolver owned by Smith ‘in the house.

Laplanders To Teach Eskimos About Reindeer

HALIFAX. Aug. lii-Aklavik, one of the most northern settlements in Canada is the destination cf 9- Dfiriy of ten Iaplanders who have arrived at Halifax on the 1mg, Gripsholm from their native land. They have been brought to this ‘mum-TY by the Dominion govern. ment and will for the next three years teach the- Eskimos iii the North West Territories how to cal-e for their reindeer herds.

They created considerable com- motion in Halifax when they d13- embarked clad in the attire o: their native Lapland, according to can- adian National Railway Qflielsls hilie- They are excellent linguists and speak Norwegian, Hnnlgh and "i9 lflnsuege of their own country.

The men in the party are expert herdsmen. and are owners of 1m- meme herds in their own country. They have made a scientific study of the raising of reindeer and it is confidently expected that their work in the next three years in Canada will bear fruit. There were several women in the party.

They Ire under contract forthree years with the Canadian Govern- ment and are to instruct the 11h- kimos in the care of reindeer, with the ultimate aim of making these aborgines competent reindeer herds men. For many years, the lllsklmos in that section of the North have been regarded as a dying race, liv- ing precariously by trapping and fishing. A number of conferences have been held at Ottawa, between Government officials and experts on the Eskimo question and as a result their reindeer experiment is being made. Two years ago the min- ister of the interior was authoriz- ed to purchase 3000 head of rein- deer for establishment of experi- mental herds in Northern Canada. Under the direction of the Lap- landers, a number of Eskimos will take a course in the care, of rein- deer, the Government furnishing

donbansan PRELIMINARY

The C ndensed Preliminary Re- port on the Trade of Canada. for the fiscal year 1930-31, has Just been issued by the External Trade Branch of the Dominion Burebu of Statistics. This , handy little brochure now comprises 149 pages. It consists oi two sections, a "Review" and a “Condensed Stat- istical Record" of Canadian Trade.

The "Review" deals with the volume and value of the Dominic ‘s external trade. Its fluctuations, distribution, and routes of trans- portation are examiiied in respect to both current conditions and re- cent variations.

Several new analyses are includ- ed in the present report, Canada's progress and her present position among the greet trading nations of the world being explained in detail. More particularly the "Review" treats 0f the following among other subjects: Relation between trade in Raw and Manufactured Pro- ducts; Seascnal Fluctuations: Trade by Continents; Imports by Pr‘ ', i Countries; Exports‘ by Principal Countries; Trade Bal- ances; Principal Commodities Imported; Imports for Canadian Industries; Principal Commodities Exported; Fluctuations in Export Prices; Trade via the United States Canada's Position in International Trade; Canada's Share in the Im- ports and Exports of inincipal Countries; Canada's Exports Com- pared with Exports . of Other Countries, 1. e., automobiles; news- print paper; rubber tires; ‘wheat; wheat flour; and wood pulp.

The "Condensed Statistical Re- cord" of Canadian Trade now covers eighty-three (B3) countries, the commerce with which is segregated and dealt with in de- tail. This is the only official re- port containing trade statistics in

this form. There are also summary land analytical tables dealing with

Canada's trade as a whole.

The report points out that Can- ada's trade, both import and export in common with that oi the princi- pal trading countries ol the world during the fiscal year 1931, showed s, marked decline compared with

Imic world depression in

food for these reindeer students for iized e11 world markets during the

a. term of three years. Then fol-|

calendar year 1930 has maintained

1930, reflecting the general econo- trade and industry. The severe decline in u mmodity prices, which character-

past year, was largely responsible for this decrease, not only in foreign markets but in domestic as well. Canada, however, during the

her relatively high place among the leading trading countries oi the world In 1930, as in 1928 and 1929, the Dominion stood lri filth position in total trade and total imports, but in total exports dropped from fifth to sixth position, British India moving up to fifth from sixth place.

A NEW INDUSTHKY

That big British business meni have a. keen eye ior the future pros-

perity of Canada is evidenced by

the fact that every little while

some progressive British company

very quietly enters upon a program‘ of development which includes the

erection of a big Canadian plant.

This is a hopeful sign, especially in

a time like the present.

Some time last year the great

firm of A. Wander Limited, manu-

facturing chemists, London and King's Langley, l-lerts, England! manufacturers of Ovaltlns andl other well-known products began, work upon a model manufacturing’ plant at Peterborough Ontario] This building was completed this‘ spring and the factory is now

Year Round Session Urged For League

INCREASED BUSINESS MAKES SUCH A MOVE NECESSARY EXPERTS DECLARE

GENEVA, Aug. ltl.-(U.P.)—-The present session of the League's Hague Court of International Jus- tide demonstrates the necessity of the court remaining in permanent session, according to League circles.

As a matter of fact, revised stat- utes for the court, which have been adopted by the League as- sembly, already provide for the court remaining in permanent ses- sion, but to date the new statutes have not been ratified by a suffici- ent numbe: of states to render them effective.

In the meantime, the steadily increasing number of cases that is carried before the court, makes it necessary for the latter to con- voke special sessions when an ur- gent decisio is s ary.

Twenty-second Session

The present extra session of the

court which was convened espe- cially for the granting of an ad- visory opinion on the German- Austrian customs union makes the 22nd session which the court has held in the ten years of its ex- istence. - - Besides the hearing on the Ger- ‘man-Austrlan customs union, the court has four other cases on its docket which necessitate opinions, or decisions, as quickly as is possible As s consequence, it is expected that that an all summe session of the tribunal will be necessary. V

The four other cases to 1:: heard this summer include:

First: The dispute between France and Switzerland relative relative to the establishment oi free customs zones around Geneva as

The finest breeds of poultry are raised on this farm and the eggs are collect- ed and used the day they are laid. In Canada the fresh eggs will be purchased from selected farms as will also the supply of rich milk required. Malt extract, the third ingredient in Ovaltlne will be ob- tained from barley grown in Can- ada.

Third: An advisory opinion. BS requested by the League council relative to railway traffic between Lithuania and. Poland.

Fourth: An advisory opinion, al- so requested by the League council, relative to the treatment of Polish nationals and other persons of P0- lish origin or language in the Dant- aig territory.

All four of the questi is in which advisory opinions are asked by the League, must be heard and decided before the next session of the Lea- gue council on" Sept. 3, in order that that body may base their linai ac- tion on them.

Leaguers declare that the only solution for the constantly increas- lng number of cases that are being carried to the Hague court lies in the bringing into force of the new requirements for permanent session.
