Joliet, Feb. 28--The "Lovers' Lane" deaths of a high school football star and his 16 yonr old sweetheart prompted Investigation today of general moral conditions among the 4,000 students ot Joliet high school and junior college. School authorities detended student morals nnd said the investigation was based on "politics." Dr.

I.ondus B. Brrrnnon, Will County coroner, opened the Investigation on the strength of "startling revelations" concerning student activities Which he said we revealed i i i a Inquest into the deaths of William Kngimnnn, 18, and his Sweetheart, Ruth Virginia Underwood. Bodies of Kngimami, 200 pound football player arid hit'll school arrd his auburn haired sweetheart, a ior In the same school, were found yesterday in an automobile parked in the "Lovers' Lane" section of a a foui miles from the city. The girl was nude. Brannon said post mortem revealed the girl died strangulation and the boy caibon monoxide poisoning or asphyxiation.

He failed it "a clear case of murder and suicide." The "startling revelations" oC activities, he said were presented by other high school students at the Inquest. "Witnesses said that high school girls J.4 and 16 years old have been taken to hotels by older men (luring the afternoon," Brannon said. "Testimony indicated that teachers, and the high school board have bren itrx In protecting the morals of the student'-. In their charge." Brannon requested Circuit Court Judge Edwin Wilson to appoint Chas. R.

Aiken, Chicago attorney, as special prosecutor to present evidence to a grand already in session Investigating a shortage In county funds. The coroner said he would not geek the aid of the regular state's attorney, James E. Burke, or Sherill James O'Nolll. Burke and O'Neill Hard they would not a i i a In an investigation on "such sketchy evidence" and defended gchool supervision of morals "1 wouldn't do a i to touch the reputation of the school unless there was concrete i to net on," Burke said. The charge of politics arose from the division In i i a ranks.

Burke nnd O'Neill are ncvvly elected Republicans. Brannon and Wilson a hold over Demon ats. School officials pointed to scholastic rctm'uemenls nnd the educational and recreational achievements as indicative of "healthy relationships." The school, a eilv block In the heart of Joliet and considered one of the mosl procieisive in Illinois, has won the National High School Band a i i live linos, AT Instructors me i In hold muster degrees The high school basketball team won the state chumplonshii two years The i college team has held five basketball championships in recent years.

Boston, Feb. 28--Mrs. Frank L. Nason, registrar-general of the Daughters of, the American Revolution, said today that Marian Anderson, Negro contralto, had been denied the use of institution Hall in Washington for a concert April 9 only because the National Symphony Orchestra already had engaged the hall for that date. Mrs.

Nuson denied that Miss Anderson's application had been refused because of her race. The Washington school board, however, subsequently refused to permit Miss Anderson to her concert at the Central High School auditorium, presumably because of her race, and there had been piotests by Mrs. Franklin Roosc- elt, Jascha IleifiU, Frederick Jagel, Metropolitan tenor, and others. Mrs. Kooscvelt announced yesterday that she was resigning from an organization whose "typical policy" she disliked.

She was believed to have ref to the 1). A. II. and the incident over Miss Anderson. Mrs.

Nason said: "Miss Anderson's manager asked for the use of our Cons i i Hall in Washington for a concert on Easter Sunday. The con- was to have been given by Miss Anderson us a soloist. lie was told a early last full the National Symphony Orchestra had engaged the hall for a series of symphoriy concerts and Unit Kaster Sunday was one of the dates taken by the orchestra. 'Our organisation could not possibly lease the hall to Miss Anderson's manager for Kaster Sunday in view of the fact that it already was taken by another group," Mrs. Nason said.

As registrar-general, Mis. Nason has charge of all D. A. K. membership applications and resignations.

She said Mrs. Roosevelt's resignation had not been received. In San Francisco, Miss Anderson said she was "not surprised" by reports that Mrs. Roosevelt had resigned i the L). A.

K. 'She seems to be the one who tcul- ly comprehends the meaning ot democracy," Miss Anderson said, "I am shocked beyond words to be bin led the capital rny country alter having appeared in almost other a i a in the world." Her San Francisco manager, J. A. Jofe, said arrangements being made in New York for Miss Andtnson to appear in a free in Wash- i April 9, and thai 'she may sing rn a public park so Washington an hear her." New York, Feb. 28 S.

Itprok, Marian Anderson's manager, sard today a the Negro sinner had been tic- nii'd permission to appear In Washington's Constitution Hall on A i 8 and Jd as well as April 9, the date originally sought.

Nason of Boston that the Daughters of the Ame i a Revolution, owners of the hall, had rejected Miss Anderson's application because the i i had pre- i been leased for lire dale in question, Kaster Sunday. Mrs.

Nason is registrar-general of the D. A. K. "That Is what they told us when we made the application for April 9," Ilurok said.

28--Navy otallinj? largest in icace time in history--were published iy the government today for the llscal which starts April I. Air force and army estimates arc to allow on succeeding days. The estimates provide for two new lattlcships, one aircraft carrier, four sixteen destroyers, four submarines, 25 auxiliary ships and a number of smaller ships, as well as new oyul yacht to replace the 38 year ild Victoria nnd Albert. It was estimated that both battle- hips would be in the neighborhood of tons and would mount He-Inch guns. Great Britain now is building live ton battleships and two larger mes, Lion and Temeralre, expected be of 40,000 tons with IG-ineh cuns are to be laid down soon.

Today's navy estimates represent an ncrcosc of $110,000,000 above those or the current financial year ending tfarch 31. It was forecast that the air foicc army llgures would show similar ncreases In evidence of the government's urgent effort to overtake Gernan and Italian icaimamenl pro- rams. The navy estimates call for total jcrsonncl of JM.OOO, as compared to he 110,000 authorized in lire current year. The 119,000 i represented rn increase of 7,000 as compared with he year preceding. Net expenditure, that is expcndiluic i the coming year, is lixcd at us compared with the nrjjcr i of $150,793,000 last year.

Earl Stanhope, llrst lord of the nd- njrnlly, in a memorandum ue.com- lanying the estimates, said thai the chief reason for the increase in the olal as compared with lire current year was new estimated to cost and the. fae.1 that the 1936, 1937 and 193S jrograms were now at the stage of leanest expenditure. lie said that 000) of the navy estimates would be by borrowing, under the government's announced policy. The estimate showed that during the course of this year Great Britain would have 173 new war.slnps advanced in construction or started, Including nine baUle.sh.ips, 125 cruisers, six a i a i i i a carriers, 39 destroyers and 19 submarines.

ESTABLISHED 1868 A LOAN LIKE THIS IS EASY TO PAY The responsible man or woman who borrows money (and The Bank of Edwardsville does not make loans to any other kind) is always primarily interested in paying it back as quickly as possible. Under our Personal Loan plan, the borrower makes monthly payments on an agreed schedule so that when the note matures it is PAID IN FULL. If you approve this sound principle and can secure two acceptable co-makers-or approved collateral or chattel security --we will be glad to figure on your requirements.
