South Orange N. ,1., April 30.

faith healer, was murdered early today
by bandits who leaned on the rn niiinir
board of an automobile in which she
was returning from n visit to n patient.
One of the four masked men stubbed
tier to death.
The car was driven by Michael
Selito. As they brnrtlcd the car three
of the men 'seized him nnd bound him
to the steering wheel. The other mnn
attacked Mrs. Cassesc. It is thought
she may have been mistaken for nn

Scllto, although tightly bound, was
able to press his hold against the but

mobile and the continual alarm brought
several persons from neiiiby and the
police were notified. The murdciers
escaped. A pocketbook containing
about $200, two pairs of bracelets and
six rings were taken.
The police theory is that Mrs. Cum.

Selito, mother of the chaufteur nnd wife,
of the owner of the car. A few months
ago the elder Selito received several
letters demanding money. Death won
threatened If he failed to comply.

'LIGHT ZONE' PLAN
Will Urge. Mills to Name Streets
Where Cars May Stand With
out Lamps Burning
BILL IS BEFORE GOVERNOR
A committee from the Keystone Au
tomobile Club will ask Superintendent
of Police Mills to designate "lighted
zones" in various sections of the city.
wnero automobiles may be left stand
ing without lights, provided Council
passes an ordinance in compliance with
me liuckmau bill, now with uovcrnor
Sproui for slgnnture.
J. Uorton Wc,cks, president of the
Keystone, nub, suggests that tho
"lighted zones" might be estubllshcd
on Chestnut street from Sixth street to
Seventeenth; Market street, In the cen
tral district; Uroad street. In the thea
tre zone, nnd Fifty-second street the
ViiEth of the shopping section.
Signing of the bill by the Governor
and passage ot nn ordinance by Council
In accordance with the "lighting zone"
provision would do away with tho ne
cessity to show two white lights in
front and ono red light nt the rear ou
all purked machines, even In the most
brightly lighted throughfnres of the
city. In the "lighted zones" no lights
nt ull would be required on cars.
Township supervisors nnd commis
sioners are also empowered to author
ize buch "lighted zones," under the
provision of the bill, so thnt motorists
in the Miburbuu sections will also be
benefited.
Mr. Weeks, who wrote into the bill
the provision for the "lighted zones."
injected another provision which will
permit motorists to park their cars any
where in tho cit.v nt nislit. nrovided
they display one two-cnndlepower light
nt t tie lert side of the car, showing a
white light visible from the front, and
u red light, visible fiom the rear.
This "parking light" will take the
place of the two white lights and red
light now required for standing cars,
and will prove a boon to motorists, par
ticularly in the residential sections.
"Lighted zones" will also probably be
designated in residential sections which
are brightly lighted.
Superintendent Mills said lie would
niuke no comment on the "lighted
zones" plan until Governor Rproul has
signed the bill and Council has passed
nn ordinance designating the zones.
"The bill docs not. make it obliga
tory upon Council to pass such an ordi
nance." he snid, "and it is not a ques
tion of whether I favor such n plan. U
is a question of who will take the re
sponsiliillty for having uutomoblles
parked through the city without lights."

Final Day's Events Start on
Franklin Field According to
Schedule This Afternoon
SCHOOL RACES FIRST,

Pcnn Relay Program for
Today Will Be Found on

Ity KOI1BRT V. MAXWKLL
Despite the bum weather, there was
n big crowd of spectators nt Franklin
Field when the final day's events in the
Penn relay carnival started this after
noon. The rain apparently had not im
paired the cinder path, but conditions
didn't look so good for the field events.
There wns a promise of clearer skies
later on and the spectators hoped to see
the main events contested under more
favorable conditions.
From 1 :30 until 2 :4." school teams
from various sections were, scheduled to
compete, the first race being the mile
relay, In which" wcrr entered Carlisle,
Clearfield, Ilayonnc. llnttln, Hulhcr
ford, Plttston, Camp Curtin, Jr.,
Tnraaqua and West Orange High
Schools.
The host of perfectly drilled ath
letes In whose ranks will be found
champions galore has drawn the Interest
of the entire collegiate world to Phil
adelphia and Franklin Field. The tires
enre of the French team has added a
lot of zest to the occasion nnd every
thing indicates that this afternoon will
be the greatest single day's track and
field meet ever staged anywhere.
If nny one event stnnds out nbovo the
rest It is the one-mile relay for the
Mike Murphy Challenge t up. Jt was
to enter this event that the French
team came to America. While the
wearers of the Trl-color are by no
means top-heavy favorites, there is u
feeling that the team which bents them
will have to set n new record. Other
tennis that stand good chances to come
through nnd capture this great raco
are Pennsylvania, Syracuse, Illinois,
Rcdlauds and Notre Dame.
IlllnoLs Strong
The Illinois team recently has per
formed In line style nnd their backers
r.re confident that they will come
through. However, the followers of the
Other 'tWfmV'mntttoned are equally ns
certain that their favorites will breeze
across the llflc carrying the winning
baton.
Another big feature will be the pole
vault. Unlike the others, the reason
Is not because It Is likely to be closely
contested, for it isn't, but because 1.
K. Jcnne, the great athlete from
Washington State College, Is in line to
smash the world's record. Jeune has
cleared the bar at 13 feet, one inch,
and he is going to try to break Foss'
murk of a fraction over 13 feet, f
inches.
While these two events seem to be
lenders from a popular viewpoint, there
Is no doubt that all of them will be so
closely contested that any one would
stnnd out boldly at any other meet
where there were fewer athletes and a
less diversified program.
This afternoon, besides a cluster of
school-boy races, there will be college
relay races, competitions for Individual
nrowess on the track and many events
in tho field. Although the officials

Drought to its senses by the reception

In this sense, it is hoped lieic that

of Germany to yield, an attempt will

Every One Expects Settlement
This much has been Rained by the
negotiations which President Harding
initiated. Every one now .expects n
settlement toiie renched. And what
ever show of force may precede the set
tlement will be made in n different spirit
than it would have been had these
negotiations not begun.
A different ntinosplicre prevails on
botli sides. Germany understands that
the Allies are determined. She under
stands that England is supporting
France and that the United Stutes.
while desiring u settlement, desires one

London. April 30. An ultimatum to
Germany, giving her seven days from
May 1 to comply with or refuse the
nllled reparations demands, wns ad
vocated today by Rrltish representatives
to the allied conference here.
This proposal wns opposed by the
French nnd tho Relginns. on the ground
thnt it was unnecessary, ns the Ger
mans already had had sufficient time.
The French held thnt the default of
Germany in her treaty obligations calls
for Immediate militnry and economic
action, and thnt the note-sendin- should
come afterward. It is understood the
llelginn ministers also favored this
course.
There was much activity among the
various allied ministers this forenoon in
preparation for the afternoon session
of the supreme council, which was set
Tor 4 o clock. These activities included
an early morning conference attended by
M. Jnspar. the Belgian foreign minis
ter; M. Thcunys, Retgian minister of
finance; Louis Loucheur. French min
ister for the devastated regions, nnd
Premier Rrlnnd, of France. Later M.
Rrlnnel went to Downing street for a
preliminary conversation with Mr.
Lloyd George.
Sforxa Hopes for Adjustment
Hope for nn adjustment of the pres
ent situntlon by common accord wm
expressed by Count Sforsta. the Italian
foreign minister, who nrrived in Lon
don during the morning.
"I eln not deny that the situation In
a serious one." lie said in conversation,
but the ultimate nlm of nil the En
tente powers is the same; and, there
fore. I have not lost hope of a settle
ment being reached in common accord.
'Italy," he continued, "is quickly
recovering by her own efforts nnd sacri
fices from what a year ago was regarded
as a very serious economic and financial
sltuntion. ff only for this reason I re

The view was expressed in French

of Germany would be asked by Premier
Rrinnd. A few days of preparation
would be required, and the interval bo.

recting Fiencli forces to advance would
