TRY TO UNRAVEL
REID SHOOTING
Authorities Promise Sensa-
tional Revelations From
Attack.

NEW YORK, May 17.-Jea1ousy was
only part of the motive that led to the
shooting of John II. Reid, wealthy manu-
facturer, in the home of Mrs. Hazel Davis
Warner, a moving picture actress, on
Sunday, according to a statement made
by Police Inspector Coughlin. The po-
lice official intimated the deliberately
furnished house in University avenue,
where five bullets were fired into Reds
body following an all-night drinking
party, was the headquarters of a band
of shrewd men and women who devoted
themselves to relieving rich men Of money
in various ways.
The shooting is being investigated by
the Bronx County grand Jury. Before
the grand jury convened, District Attor-
ney GIennon of Bronx County talked
with the two new witnesses and said that
sensational revelations probably would
be forthcoming.
Reid is in the Fordham Hospital IN a
serious condition. He has been uncon-
scious most of the time since being taken
there In periods Of consciousness he re-
fused to discuss the attack upon his life.
The police found a letter in the Uni
versity Place house addressed to Mrs.
Warner from Tarrytown, which said, in
part:
do not let May know we are playing
a dangerous game"

SAYS GAIN IN
REVENUES LAGS
Rail Head Presents Operating
Expense Figures.

WASHINGTON, May 17.-Steady in
creases in the ratio of operating expenses
TO net revenues of the railroads of the
United States since 1912 were revealed
by tables read into the records Of the
Senate Interstate Commerce Committee
today by Daniel willard, president Of the
Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Company,
when he resumed his testimony as the
second witness called by the committee
in it's investigation of the Nation's trans
portation problem. During the same per-
riod, willard told the committee, the re-
turn on property value has declined from
an average Of approximately 5 per cent
up to 1917 to 80 per cent in 1870 and to
OF per cent in February, 1921.
The railroads showed no abnormal
changes in net revenues, willard said,
Notwithstanding a constant but slight de-
crease In the rate per ton mile on traffic
handled and a gradual increase in prices
Of commodities and in rates of pay.
The operating ratio averaged about 10
per cent for the period 1912-1915, accord
ing to his statement, due to increases
in taxes and continued expenditures Of
additional capital.
Ratios Of operating expenses TO earn
ines were given as 1854 per cent in 1915
and 93.47 per cent in 1920.
1T win be noted" he said, that, while
the expense basis OF 1920 over 1918 was
increased 1884 per cent, the revenue
basis during the same period was in
creased only 81. 6S per cent. As a result
the ratio Of operating expenses to oper-
atiEg revenues, which IN 1915 was actu-
ally 67.32 per cent, becomes 1871 per
cent when revenues and expenses are re-
stated to 1920 costs and revenue basis
Instead of earning a net railway oper-
ating income Of SAT- .541 900, as was done
In 1916. there would be a deficit of
1883. PAS, 600"

(By Thomson g. McKinnon.l

Wheat-The need Of rains in portions
of the Southwest has been the prime mo-
tive in the wheat market today. AnOther
advance in cash wheat also helped prices,
but it was reported from the Southwest
that offerings from the country were IN
ereasing by the advance Premiums here
and elsewhere have ruled firm and hlgner.
Millers have been tnquiring for small lots,
but the demand from that source is by
no means urgent. A small amount OF
wheat was reported sold to Belgium Tor
July shipment. 1t was also claimed that
Germany would re-enter the market as a
buyer after the first of next month. IN
the absence of any radical news as to the
condition of the growing crop, ana IN
the face Of apprehension derived from
possibilities of legislation, the market Is
giving a good account of itself. This Is,
undoubtedly, because of the situation IN
the cash market. The probability or an
approximate exhaustion of our reserves,
together with the close adjustment be-
tween worlds requirements and supply,
should keep the undertone Of the marker
firm and make it sensitive to unfavorable
crop news.
Corn and Oats-Today's receipts Of
corn and oats were surprisingly small
but this was overlooked in the face OF
a slow demand, and under the common
knowledge of large reserves still back.
These markets are showing an inclina-
ton to refuse to participate in any
strength shown in the wheat market.
Provisions-The liberal increase in the
stocks of lard in Chicago being some
what unusual for this time of year
prompted considerable selling, included
in which brokers for smaller packers
were seen. 1t will probably be necessary
TO discover a better outlet for the manu-
featured article If prices are to be slim
ulated.

BUSINESS MEN
PRESENT VIEWS
Make Appeal to Government
to Adopt Constructive
Policy.

NEW YORK, May 17.-American bust
ness men, through the National Asso
citation of Manufacturers, today appealed
to the Government in promoting do
nestle prosperity by the followins
means:
Adopt a constructive" interna-
tional policy.
Repeal the excess profits tax and
establish a direct sales tax.

normal conditions of employment"
For the country as whole the asso-
citation urged:
Universal adoption of the open
shop principle.
Elimination Of strikes.
Promotion OF a greater spirit OF
cooperation between employers and
employees.
Increased practice Of thrift
The appeal was made for the associa'
ton by Its president, Stephen c. Manior
Of Pittsburgh, in his annual address.
"A constructive legislative treatment Of
our international policies, taxation meth
DDS and railroad difficulties will go fal
toward Fastening the return Of the coun-
try to a normal business basis" he said
with the savings bank deposits in
creasing a period of freedom from strikes
and a greater spirit of cooperation be-
tween men and management in industry
firmly believe our trade uncertainty
will quickly disappear and in its place
will come period Of sound substantial
prosperity"
Regarding the "open shop" Mason said
this principle within the last year hat
aroused the greater measure OF public
support than ever before.

May Il

We had a cheerful message today from
the Secretary of Treasury. There are two
important points in the statement One
Is the prediction of more favorable con-
ditions for the immediate future, and
the second is that prices, in his opinion,
have reached their lowest level, and that
lower values are highly improbable. He
anticipates an upward swing in business
with several years of prosperity. What
better news or more cheering words
could we want7
This statement comes at an important
time, at time when the market so to
speak was in the balance, and il IN
doubtedly did much to confirm friends
OF the market in their views.
Technically, the market was in an ex-
cellent position to respond either to favor
able developments or to such optimistic
statements. The market had been sold
to such an extent that an urgent de-
mand existed today by borrowers of
stocks.
At no time today was there any trad
ing that could be called significant, but
there was a constant demand in moder-
ate quantities for stocks and the notice
able feature was an entire absence OF
pressure, so that every buying order had
It's full effect on values and there is
now every reason to expect a broadening
IN this demand and a gradual improve
ment in values.
