Despite his illness yesterday, Mar-

Marquis Luigi Solari, head of the
Italian Marconi Company, the in-
ventor's biographer and life-long
friend. said that late yesterday Mar-

about his micro-wave experiments."

in the inventor's home and today
the employes learned o his death
as they arrived tor work Many of
them wept openly
"Marconi told me he planned to
spend the whole summer aboard his
yacht Elettra conducting experi-
ments" Solari said His idea was
to adapt the miero-wave to long
range transmission
"Marcino was very hopeful of the
success of these experiments and
they are in such shape and have
reached such a point we can go
ahead with his work."
Solari said that "Marconi had
a great affection for the United
States. Next to his own country he
had a greater love for America than
any other country "
Among the thousands of tele-
grams of condolence already pour-
ing in was one from Alexander
Kirk, charge d'affaires of the Uni-
ted States embassy, who sent it in
the absence of Ambassador William
Phillips on vacation.
Solari said that Marconi probably
knew just before he died that death
was coming Marconi was just able
to ring for the servants and died

Alarm Broadcast
Meanwhile, an alarm was broad-
cast to officers st Lawton, Anadar-
ko and other towns in this section
at Oklahoma to be on the watch
for the desperadoes, who fled from
Eastham Texas prison farm 11 days
ago
Constable Fred Dorris at Verden
spread the alarm after he said he
saw Traxler and a companion meet
Neil Traxler. Traxler's wife, then
go to a nearby filling station for
gasoline.
Dorris, deciding he hsd no chance
with the armed gunmen, said he
attempted vainly to call the sher-
iff’s office at Chickasha, and then
drove to Chickasha to spread the
alarm The delay gave the felons at
least an hour’s start on pressmen.
Find Abandoned Car
Sheriff Bonds said a black coupe
was found abandoned in the ha
near Verden and deputtes were sent
there to cheek the poasfbllity K
might be that of Baird H Markham
Jr, Yale undergraduate, who was
abducted by the gunmen and later
released unharmed near Sapulpa
last week
Bonds, tracing the movements of
the desperadoes through informa-
tion furnished by Dorris, K L. Har-
vey. Verden justice of the peace,
and other residents of the area, said
Traxler and two other fugitive fel-
ons from the Texas prison drove
to Verden early today in the black
coupe.
He said they met the Traxler wo-
man at her home hare, then drove
out at town, one at the gunmen
riding in the coupe and the others
in Mrs. Traxler's sedan bearing li-
cense plate No. 1(7-170.
Bonds said apparently one of the
desperadoes was left behind in the
coupe snd Traxler, his wife and
one companion returned to Verden
to purchase gasoline
Bonds said officers had been
watching Mrs Traxler for more
than a week. They learned she pur-
chased a hat and other clothing at

OORE. Ok, July 30 —0P>—Tired
Cherokee Indian braves, their an-
cient gods appeased after a night
of sacrificial ceremonies, withdrew
from the hills at dawn today and
the sevan sacred fires of the Kee-
Too-Wahs burned on into their
second century.
Through the long night, the Kee-
Too-Wahs danced ain a moon-
drenched clearing surrounded by
oak trees, leaping and stomping
with the flames of a sacred fire,
brightened by the heart's blood of
an ox
Thus did tribesmen renew an old
pledge of faith to Indian gods made
before the bayonets of the white
man prodded them over the "trail
of tears."
Located deep in aimost uninhab-
ited hills, the scene of the annual
Kee-Too-Wah stomp dance is pri-
meval. but the audience at last
night's ceremony was strangely
modern.
