In 1920, after a deal with A. T. & T. had enabled them to lay a cable from Cuba to Key West, they formed I. T. & T.

He was a famed lawyer and member of a distinguished family ("a Machray can do no wrong'") when huge shortages were turned up last year in the trust and endowment funds of his church and university.

Died. Charles G. Koss, 78, longtime friend and legal adviser of Manhattan's Wendel family (see below); of heart disease; in Manhattan.

Died. Leigh S. J. Hunt, 79, real estate and mining operator; of heart failure; in his office at Las Vegas, Nev. With little formal schooling he became a teacher, then a principal, then president of Iowa's State Agricultural College.

Wiped out in the panic of 1893, he went to the Orient to recoup, spotted a chance in Korea where rich ore deposits were being crushed by hand, got concessions, sent for U. S. machinery. First to grow cotton in the Anglo-Egyptian Sudan, he unfolded one evening at the White House dinner table a glowing description of African big-game hunting which resulted in Theodore Roosevelt's famed expedition.

Died. Tobey, 8, "richest dog in the world." last of the succession of poodles, all named Tobey, owned by the late Ella Virginia von Echtzel Wendel; at the hands of a veterinary; in the ancestral Wendel home at 39th Street and Fifth Avenue, Manhattan. One reason why Ella, last of the eccentric Wendel spinsters, never sold the valuable lot on which the old house reared its red-brick ugliness, was the counsel of her grandfather: Buy, never sell. A more important reason, to her, was that the Tobeys might have a yard to play in. She died two years ago (TIME, March 23. 1931), leaving a $40,000,000 estate to be wrangled over in the courts. Last week Drew Theological Seminary, to which Ella Wendel willed the house & lot, prepared to take possession. The Wendel executors decided that Ella Wendel's ghost would not be offended if Tobey's days, numbered in any case, were painlessly terminated.
