lieve, had for its purpose the ex-
amination of an official copy 01' the
autopsy report prepared following
the murder of Patrolman. James
Skelly here last October, was dis-
closed today by Edward 1". Lane.

eral hospital. Gerald Chapman was
recently found guilty of shooting
Skelly and was sentenced to hung in

' House Entered. .
Mr.'Laiie reported to the police
yesterday that his house had been
entered Sunday night, and that his
otticial records and papers had been
ransacked. The Skelly report.
which was covered 1: yseverul re-
ports of :1. recent date. was mum]
on top of the packet of documosts
and looked as ii‘it had bee nhandl-
ed and carefully examined, accord-
ing to Mr. Lane.
Mr. Lane and Dr. \Vuttcrinan
Lyon performed the autopsy on the
body of Patrolman Shelly after he
hsd shot last October and while Dr.
Lane filed the oiiginal rcport .it

he kept a. carbon copy with othuri
similar reports in his desk.
Early Sunday morning he was
awakened by the cries ot’ his child
and while going to the baby's room.
he diSCUVCred a. yellow light llllllt‘l'

2' Before a sympathetic wo'rld had fin-
inked reading in its mot‘ning news-
paper thc story of devastation
worked by one of the most destruc-
tive tornados of recent years, tele-
phone supplies to restore lines _of
communicationwerc actually arriv-
in in the stricken towns. While lar-
at? cities read that telephone lines
were down and that rescue work
was handicapped by the lack of means
for communication, the urgently
needed restoration was already un-
der way with new materials rushed
for the purpose. _
A train loaded with telephone equip—
ment was hurrying from St. Louis into
the stricken territory within twenty-
iour hours of the time the tornado
struck. Following closely, another
train from Chicago carried thousands
of poles and niahy reels of lead-cov-
'rred telephone cable which reached
its destination twelve hours after
leaving Chicago. .
This immediate delivery of emer-
gency supplies was all part of a. care~
fully worked out plan. Not that the
tornado was foreseen, but the post-
bility of such an emergency had been
taken into consideration at ‘a bun-
dred different points in provldin for
the punctual supply of telcp one
equipment to the country at large.
The Western Elcctric Company,
which manufactures most of the
world's telephones, maintains thirty-
one distributing organizations in
strategic cities in the United States.

Last October. all the distributing
organizations‘of the \Vcstcru Electric
Company situated in districts subject ‘
to severe storms, were. accumulating
emergency stocks In December came
the sleet storm which swept a belt
seventy-five miles wide through a
half-dozen states in the south and
middle. west almost clean of poles
and wires. Thousands of polcs it“
in the Southwest and in Illinois. The
emergency had come. This particular
storm caused the largest damage in
telephone history. ‘
The movcmcnt of materials into
the storm zone. was snnultancous
from all directions as if they wcrc
drawn in by a magnet. The cmrr-
gcncy stocks at the different distrib-
uting points. the general stocks at the
Chica o \Vorks, anduhc provisions
for obtaining rapid production and
delivery of materials \xhich might be
needed were all called upon quickly.
