Waiter Is Hunted
A description of the waiter known
as "Toni Mancini” an Italian was
flashed by telegraph and telephone
to police of the entire country and
inquiries for him were made at
Prtnch ports on the English chan- 1
cel.
He was known to have spent a
few hours late Saturday night at
a Brighton dance ball after a
lengthy grilling by police beiore
the discovery of the latest body. At
dawn Sunday he was seen walking
toward London.
Authorities closely guarded de-
tails. but the newest body was saia
to be that of Violette Kaye pro-

Although 42 Miss Kaye looked
much younger acquaintances said.
She had a youthful figure. Her real

When the first body was discov-
ered efforts collapsed to link it
with the case of Agnes Tufverson.

her marriage to Captain Ivan
Poderjay in December in New York.

case in the same railway station a
few days later also had no con-

The body found Sunday night
was in a trunk removed from an

Rather dark labor clouds drifted
over the financial markets Monday
and prices in various securities
categories developed a somewhat
heavy tone.
Stocks pointed lower from tne
start although the majority of
declines held in the neighborhood
of fractions to around a point ana
the activity was as dull as in pre-
ceding sessions. There was -ome
scattered selling in a few issues
such as the railroads which might
be affected by the general walkout
in California. There also were a
few firm spots.
Cotton continued to improve
getting up around (1 a bale to new
high levels since 1930. Grains were
a UUlt nervous. Corn advanced
but wheat and the other cereals
generally sagged under realizing.
Bonds maintained a fairly stable
position. The dollar was easier in
terms of some leading foreign ex-
changes.
U. S. Smelting made jk new year's
high before reversing for a loss of
more than a point. Phillip Morris
advanced a point to a 1934 peak.
National Lead and American Can
dropped about 2 each and losers
if around a point or so included
Du Pont Sears Roebuck. How®
Sound Westinghouse. Johns-Man-

American Commercial Alcohol and
Southern Railway were off a point
?ach to new year’s lows. American
relephone. Consolidated Gas. Gen-
eral Motors. U. S. Steel and many
Jthers were down fractionally.
That the equities market did not
ict any worse in view of the
icnousness of the western labor
iifficulties. was interpreted by most
inancial observers as a highly
•ncouraging sign.

‘STAR DUST’
NEW ELEMENT
IS EXTRACTED
(Copyright. The AP >
LONDON. July 16.—iiPi—A pinch I
of yellow salt made largely of
something science hitherto sup-
posed likely to exist only in stars
has been extracted from pitch-
blende in Czechoslovakia.
This salt 115 milligrams or
about enough to season a break-
fast omelet is the rarest newest
and scientifically the most precious
stuff in creation. Its basic substance
is reported to be the heaviest ma-
terial ever found.
It was supposed that element 93.
heavier than uranium might weir
be the next step above uranium in
nature’s combination of basic ma-
terials. But the Czechoslovakian
discovery indicates the heavy 93
stuff is more closely associated wltn
actinium than with uranium.
Dr Koblic states that it is prob-
ably the parent of protactinium.
"These different families uranium
protactinium and so on are dis-
tinguished by chemical differences.
For example the actinium family
when it gets down to lighter sub-
stances includes manganese.
The main reason why scientists
for years have thought there might
not be more than 92 basic elements
has been the failure to find any-
thing heavier than number 92
Even the surfaces of the stars were
doubtful sources of anything not
known on earth because spectro-
scopes show what kinds of atoms
exist on the surface of any star
whose light can be seen through a
telescope.
Physicists however had calculated
that within the hot interiors of
stars solid matter might exist “in !
a different state." Particularly it
was thought that in star interiors
matter might be packed more close. ;
ly. and so lorm substances heavier ;
than uranium.
Support lot this exists in the I
belief that the companion star of j
Sirius appears to contain substance
weighing a ton per cubic inch.
The pitchblende from which the ;
yellow salt was extracted produces
radium. Dr. Koblic estimates that
this pitchblende contains one per
cent of the element 93. This is held
by scientists to be a surprisingly j
high percentage. The amount of
radium is smaller. But the hign I
pehcentage can be explained phys-
icists say. by the possibility that
the new element is rather •Inert”;
that is. docs not disintegrate rap-
idly enough to call attention to its
presence.
