Severyns of King County (big town Seattle, Washington) talking about bloodhounds you can't get him to stop. But people stick around and hear him to the end, he makes it so interesting.

Bill Severyns, now Sheriff, formerly Seattle Chief of Police, was at the Biltmore yesterday on the way to attend a peace officers' convention in Mexico City. He unloaded about his hobby, which is both personal and professional. HIS DOGS BEST "I think," he said with no attempt at modesty, "that I got the best bloodhounds in this country, maybe the world. Who am I to shrink? I'm no violet. I got three good trailers, and there is hardly a week-end we don't use one of them to find somebody who has been lost.

All you do is give 'em a sniff of some old clothing and off they go. "People who don't understand bloodhounds expect the impossible, though what they can do is miraculous enough. A good hound is 'free from as the dog parlance goes. That is, if trailing the scene of one person he will stick to it no matter how many other persons have crossed the trail.

The geochemical data permit the correlation of various geological and geophysical phenomena which previously appeared unrelated. AFTERNOON PROGRAM In the afternoon Paul P. Goud-koff talked on "Fades Changes in the Upper Miocene of San Joaquin Valley." The paper, illustrated with lantern slides, dealt with the Delmontian Upper Mohnian formations, well known for their extreme litholog-ical variations. It defined the principal types of microfaulan assemblages. Following luncheon at the Cocoanut Grove the assembly heard W.

F. Barbat talk on the "Pliocene of the San Joaquin Valley." He defined and described the sediments and the invertebrate fauna, reviewed the geological occurrence of land vertebrates, and the physical conditions under which the sediments were deposited.

He has been on more than 100 of them, has rescued 17 children who had been lost, and run down scores of criminals. STREET FLOOR Acting as a special autopsy surgeon for Governor Olson's committee investigating the death at Whittier State School of 13-year-old Benny Moreno, Dr. George Maner yesterday studied the boy's exhumed body for more than two hours, then announced he found "no fractures, no cuts and no dislocations." "As far as I am concerned," he said, "the autopsy verdict of Dr.

Homer Keyes will have to stand because there is no evidence to contradict his report." FOUND NO MARKS Dr. Keyes previously had testified he found no mark3 of mutilation on the body, only slight bruises on the chin and behind the right ear, and added it was his understanding the boy had hanged himself with his own belt. In answer to questions by Leo Gallagher, member of the committee, Dr. Manor explained that any bruises that may have been on the boy's body at the time of his death last Aug. 11 would have disappeared by now.

He said also that he could not determine the cause of death because the lungs were too badly decomposed. INQUIRY CLIMAX The autopsy climaxed an inquiry that began more than a month ago when the committee was appointed to run down rumors that the boy had been beaten before his death.1 i Three committee members Gallagher, Mrs. LaRue McCor-mick and Eduardo Quevedo were present at the inquiry yesterday with E. J. Milne, superintendent of the Whittier school; Dep.

be prosecuted for murder. Farrell has been held on suspicion of murder. Mrs. Ransdale said she and her husband, Gale Ransdale, and Farrell and the latter's wife, Winifred, were in Turrentine's apartment at 557 Vt S. Fremont St.

Just before the stabbing, all had left except Turrentine and herself. KXIFIXG XOT SEEN' It was when Turrentine went to the door to talk with Farrell that the stabbing occurred, she testified. Mrs. Ransdale said she did not witness the actual knife-play. Ransdale and Florence Snow of 3987 S.
