A Phathe Review.

FLOYD WOODWARD
REPORTED IN STATE

| Persistent rumors in circulation
Tuesday during the federal grand
jury probe of the activities of the
"bunco" syndicate in Atlanta were
that Floyd Woodward, so-called
liking of the bunco men," is now in
| Georgia and in touch with certain
Atlantians who are said to have
been identified with the "bunco" op-
erations in this city.
A movement has been launched,
the rumor says, to have Woodward
return to Atlanta and surrender to
federal authorities to stand trial on
a charge of using the mails to de-
fraud. 1t is said that friends of
Woodward have been feeling out the
sentiment in regard to Woodward S
return for some time.
The Ounce king is now wearing
a stylish goatee and has dyed his
~hair to a dark hue, according to
one of those men interested in the
federal probe and who is said to
have inside knowledge of the work
ings of the "bunco' king.
This man who was waiting to be
examined by the federal grand jury
refused to give his name Tuesday,
but declared that he had gained his
| information from a reliable source.
Reported Eager to Return
Woodward is said to be anxious
to return to Atlanta to face the fed
eral charge, provided he is given as
surance that the federal courts will
have jurisdiction over him prior tC
the state courts, in which charge
of murder is now pending against
him in connection with the killing OF
Ed Mills several years ago.
Another letter purported to have
been written by Woodward and said
to be similar in content to the ia
nous Woodward letter which
aroused so much comment some
time ago. was to be presented to the
federal body Tuesday, according tc
Bert Donaldson, an evidence man in
the office of Solicitor General John
A. Boykin. Donaldson is taking q
| great interest in the federal probe
Federal authorities have been ir
touch recently with alleged victims
Of the "bunco" ring from all over
the country and they assert that evi
dence which shows conclusively that
! the "bunco" men tranSgressed fed
eral statutes through misuse of the
mails is being presented to the grand
jury.
Indictments Sought
Indictments against members OF
Atlanta's ounce" syndicate whose
names have not heretofore been men
toned in connection with the activi
ties of the ring were being sought
at Tuesdays session of the federal
A grand jury, according to officials
who are conducting the probe.
These indictments are said to in
volve a number of men who figured
largely in the "bunco" operations in
Atlanta, and the returning of these
indictments will, It is said, reveal
many new angles of the "bunco'
game in this section.
Several victims of the ring, whose
losses ran up into the thousands
and who did not testify before the
councilmanic investigation of the
"bunco" operations will be intro
duced at the federal hearing, it was
learned. Among these will be e
prominent citizen of a town near
i Atlanta, who, according to officials
lost $37 900 in his dealings with the
gang. They refused to disclose his
name.

GENERAL BUSINESS
IMPROVEMENT SEEN

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-Stimu-
lated activity in important indus
tries, resulting from rapid market
ing of agricultural products during
October, made noticeable the begin
nings of improvements throughout
the country, the federal reserve
board declared in it's monthly review
of general business and financial con-
ditions.
Higher prices realized by farmers
for tobacco and cotton and heavy
sales of cereals abroad, the review
asserted, has brought them into the
market for purchases Of seasonable
goods with a corresponding benefit
to trade in the producing regions.
"Some distinctly encouraging ele-
ments are to be noted in the general
business situation, the review con-
tinued. The outlook in the textile
manufacturers industries was said
to be better, for while uncertainty
of the future of cotton prices has
led some textile manufacturers to
hold off, buying has been more pro-
nounced during the past few
weeks.
Except in limited degree, the
review declared, basic manufacture
ing and structural industries have
not shown the influence Of review
ing demand, although increases both
in production and in untitled orders
in iron and steel was regarded as
"of first rate Importance as mark
ing the turn from the low point"
Prices have apparently attained a
substantial degree of stability, the
review stated, adding that prices in
general were in better relation to
one another than at any time dur
ing the past eighteen months.
A fairly general increase in, the
number of men employed was not
ed, although employment was re
ported as continuing as a serious
element in the existing industrial
situation. With the exception OF
the railroad situation, the review de-
clared that relatively little labor
! unrest exists at this time
The large amount of unemploy
ment prevailing, according to the
board, has had it's effect upon the
retail trade, purchases for the most
part being confined to essentials.
