The trained personnel of that department will handle all the auditing work of the Commonwealth. Intend Close Check Audits of the department also will serve as a check on proper disbursement of State appropriations. All institutions, associations or public agencies which receive State funds will have all their receipt and disbursements funds checked regularly. If it is found that State funds are being expended for purposes other than those intended or that collections are not being made properly, the auditor general may refuse to honor further requisitions for payments from appropriations until the loss has been made good. The department will pay special attention to the audits of accounts 0f conections made by other than gtate employes but which are re turnable, in part, to the State.

Accounts of city and county officers which collect taxes or penalties, payable to the State, will be scrutinized carefully. The same will be true of accounts of magistrates, aldermen, justices of the peace, burgesses, mayors and court clerks who collect fines and penalties which must be returned to the State.

TODAYS-TOMORROW Ken News and Comedy peraey a A licit (lational ftcturt (Continued from Page One) the big monoplane in a much more favorable position than those first given in the message, Which placed the plane about 200 miles due north of the Azores; approximately 2100 miles east of; Old Orchard, and 1,5 uu mues southwest of Paris. The corrected position places the plane about 500 miles north east of the Azores and between 1,000 and 1,200 miles southwest of Paris.

The difference in the two positions was considered highly important by aviation officials at Le Bourget Field, because the corrected bearings place the plane fully 300 miles nearer Paris at an hour when the consumption of motor fuel on the long grind must have considerably depleted the tanks of the plane At three o'clock this afternoon (10 a. m. New York summer time) the crowds of spectators al- ready were trekking toward the Le Bourget field to welcome the flyers. They were kept in order at the approaches to the field by troops. Some concern was felt for the safety of the flyers during the mVht but this was nuickly dis pelled with the coming of dawn.

Because of its great speed and possibly because it was flying unusually high the big plane was not sighted nor heard during the hours of darkness and early today. Bad weather 'prevails off the European coast today, but avia tion men do not believe that this will seriously hamper the flyers. They point out that the plane will be able to ride wind bumps "and circle low pressure areas with comparative ease because it has already consumed the greater portion of its heavy load of gasoline. Another element unforseen when the plane took off yesterday enters into the situation now, however. This is the case of the young stowaway, Arthur Schrei-ber of Portland, who is believed to have secreted himself behind a gas tank when the "Yellow Bird," started its flight.

The added weight of the youth may interfere seriously with the operation of the plane if unusually stormy weather is encountered. Star Island, X. June 14 (INS) Colonel Charles A. Lindbergh and his bride, sighted aboard their power cruiser Mou-ette off here today, were believed to have seen the trans-atlantic Yellow Bird fly away from the Maine coast for Paris in an attempt to span the ocean somewhat as did "The Lone Eagle." London, June 14 (INS) Stormy weather and strong headwinds confront the French transatlantic airmen as they approach the European coast. It was announced by weather officials here today.

Gale warnings have been hoisted at virtually all English ports on the west coast of England, and shipping in the vicinity has been warned to be prepared for nasty weather. Le Bourget, France, June 14 The hitherto unparalleled enthusiasm which greeted the arrival of Col. Charles Lindbergh on this flying field after his trail blazing flight across the Atlantic two years ago, was threatened with eclipse today as France prepared to welcome its native heroes Airmen Lotti, Jean Assolant and Rene Lefevre, bound for Le Bour get from Old Orchard, Maint.

TORCH MURDERER SENTENCED TO DIE IN CHAIR Elizabeth, X. June 14 (INS) "Even if it is only by means of the natural death that is bound to come soon, We will defeat the electric chair." This was the statement made today by Francis A. Gordon, youthful attorney, whose client, Henry Colin Campbell, was sentenced to die during the week of July 15 for the torch murder of his bigamous wife, Mrs. Mildred Mowry. Immediately after Justice Clarence E.

Case of the Supreme Court meted out the sentence of death to the sixty-year old slayer, following the verdict of guilty Iof murder in the first degree reached by the jury after four hours' deliberation, Gordon laid his plans for an appeal to a higher court. MRS. THAW LEAVES CHILDREN GREATER PART OF ESTATE by Francis L. Armstrong I. N.

S. Staff Correspondent. Pittsburgh, June 14 The estate of Mrs. Mary Copley Thaw, estimated at more than $5,000,000, today awaited only the formal acknowledgement of executors for administration. After a lapse of forty years since its founder, William Thaw, made the original distribution in his will, the Thaw fortune today was about to find its way to many states of the union, and to foreign capitals, in fulfillment of Mrs.

Thaws wishes. The four children of the famous woman philanthropist who died a week ago, will receive the greater part of the estate, it was estimated today. Mrs. Thaw, as she explained In her will, intended to give away during her lifetime, the greater part of her frotune. But Harry Kendall Thaw, Countess Margaret Carnegie de Parig-ny, Josiah Copley Thaw and Mrs.

Alice Whitney Thaw, former Countess of Yarmouth, will receive possibly a million dollars apiece, it became apparent today. Specific bequests in the will totalled approximately $500,000 to relatives, friends, servants and various organizations. The four children are to receive equal shares in four fifths of the residuary estate. Josiah Copley Thaw, the only one of Mrs. Thaw's children who was not able to attend her fun eral, is on the high seas today, en route to Pittsburgh, accompanied BABE RUTH U10N Ladies' House Frocks Pretty, dainty style, some with sleeves.

DATE OF REUNION' CHANGED Officers of the Grable reunion have decided to change the date for their annual meeting at the Washington park from the second Saturday in September to Friday, August 30, for this year only. This change is made due to the second Saturday of September being near the middle of the month, which is too late for the reunion season. Last year an invitation was extended to the Garber clan to meet with the Grables this year at the Washington park. This invitation was accepted, provided an earlier date was chosen.

After consulting the officers of the two organizations August 30 was chosen as the date for the combined reunion of the Grable and Garber clans. The Garber clan usually holds its reunion in Ohio, but comes to Pennsylvania once every three or four years. A meeting of all the Grables and all the Garbers, interested in making this reunion a successful event, will be held in the home of James C. Burson, North Bethlehem township, on Sunday, June 16, at 2 p. m.

The purpose of this meeting is to make plans and appoint committees to have charge of the reunion at the Washington park on August 30.
