WOMAN ARRESTED
in MURDER CASE

Newport, June 16.-Mrs Will
Boyd, aged about "a, of Algoa, 2
miles east of Newport, was locked
up in the Jackson county jail yes
terday morning in connection witt
aged 18. The woman testified be
fore the coroner's jury that she was
shot. She accused w. o. Burton,
aged 25, of the murder.
Burton was arrested at NeWpor:
when he came here 10 purchase n
casket for his aged mother. Mrs.
Gladen Burton, who died from The
shock when told that her son was
suspected of killing young McGahen
He stoutly maintained his innocence
at the time he was arrested, but
did not tell officers until Tuesday
that he believed Mrs. Boyd was the
slayer.
Officers who have been working
on the case said that they found
blood splotches on Mrs. Boyd's para
sol and clothing This is said to be
the strongest evidence against her
except her admission that she was
present when McGahen was killed.
According to Mrs. Boyd's story of
the crime, she and McGahen met by
chance and were walking down a
tram road when suddenly two shots
rang out and young McGahen fell
dead. One shot struck him at the
base of the skull and the other be-
tween the shoulders. She said Bur
ton came running up and told Mrs.
Boyd he would kill her if she told
any one of the murder. She said
he forced her to assist him in hid
ing the body underneath the tram.
Burton, in a statement to officers,
denied implication in the murder.
He sad he was at home at the time
McGahen was killed, and that his
first intimatiOn of the crime was
when Il little girl told him she had
found some blood tracks" on the
tram road Burton said he inves-
tigated, and found McGahen's body.
1t is said that Mrs. Boyd attempt
ed TO end her life Sunday night by
poison at her home.
Both Mrs. Boyd and Burton will

the ground that the Chancery Court

The appeal from the ruling of the
Chancery Court was filed yesterday
State officials said, however, that no
ruling was made by the lower court
the appeal could not allege any
thing which might automatically
operate as a stay OF execution and
that unless an order is made by
the Supreme Court or a stay is
grant ed by the governor there is
no reason why Noteworthy should
not be executed Friday In reality,

BUSINESS AS GOOD
AS YOU MAKE II

Memphis, Tenn, June ia. j.
DOYLE, OF the Burroughs Adding
Machine Company of this city, makes
an interesting statement in regard
10 business conditions. He states
that the company he represents
believes that the conditions of bust
ness today does not warrant drastic
curtailment of selling expense, ad-
vertising and the purchase of needed
equipment.
Mr.. Doyle's words carry weight
because his company is in close con-
tact with every line of business in
the country.
He believes that the recent stag
nation in business is largely the
result of mental attitude and
that as soon as business men gen
erally begin TO place orders for
things needed in their business they
will begin to get more orders for the
merchandise they have to sell.
I'VE are spending our money in
newspapers today" said Mr.. Doyle,
so advertise our belief in this, ana
the more who follow this example,
the better il will he for everybody'a
business.
"When | hear man say tnH'
business is bad, rotten, dead
that things are down and no pros
pect of getting better in sight
wonder If that man knows now
much il costs him in cold cash TO
make such statements.
IF a man thinks business condi-
tions are as bad as that and spreads
his opinion broadcast, it is bound to

DECLARE RESERVE
SYSTEM PREVENTED
A GREAT PANIC
international New. service)

|
| San Francisco, June 16.-Declar-
ing that the Federal Reserve sys-
TEN prevented a panic in this cOun-
| try, the committee on banking and
currency this morning presented a
report to the convention Of the
National Association of Credit Men
| In which attention Is called to the
importance Of preventing political
meddling or any other type Of inter-
ference that would diminish the
powers of the present efficient adj
ministration OF the act.
The report reads in part:
THE Federal Reserve system has
been exhibiting abilities to protect
and support sound business during
periods of storm and stress even
greater than the trainers of the
act could have anticipated. Rapid
deflation is Inevitably attended with
great danger, but through the most
violent deflation in mans expert
ence the Federal Reserve system has
seen commerce successfully brought
back to what are felt to be sound
conditions. Without the great ma
tional banking system we would
mast certainly have been plunged
into perhaps the most disastrous
period in the nations Industrial his
tory. The administration OF the
Federal Reserve system has been
conducted on high plane, free from
political bias and all suspicion OF
sectional or class fayoritism and
control. This independence Of ac-
ton and dedication to the very
highest motives of national servic8
has been one of the assuring factors
in our depression and caused us to
recognize the necessity of preserving
the administration of our great bank
ing system free from any influence
or attack that would interfere with
Its single-minded devotion to the
public interest
THE defense of the par collection
syatem of the Federal Reserve banks
has long been special obligation
resting upon the National Associa-
ton OF Credit Men. The North
Carolina statute, aiming direct
blow al the par collection plan Of
the Federal Reserve banks, was felt
by the committee to be most In
judicious and certain to react un-
favOrably upon the commercial in
terests of the atate. Such legisla-
ton, 1t Is felt, is only for the benefit
of very few and against the inter-
esis of the great majority OF citi-
zens. The abilities of our legisla-
tive committee in Oregon to defeat
a similar measure introduced In that
state, and the promised success OF
the Wisconsin Legislative Committee
to defeat bin Of similar import,
are here noted with genuine satis-
faction. The work of our Oregon
and Wisconsin members shows con-
clusively how necessary it is to have
an organization equipped at all
times for emergency service
"The studies Of your COMMITTEES
have led to the conclusion that the
trade acceptance has not come into
that general use which would be
expected in view of the advantages
the acceptance affords. This In
strument should receive the endorse
ment and support of sellers and
buyers Of merchandise and bankers.

particular and to certain extent
on business in general
81 don't mean that business men
should hide their heads in the sand
like ostriches or try to juggle the
figures on their books to fool them
selves, but | mean that in many in
stances the man does not know
whether it is possible to transact
more business in his line because he
has not tried hard enough.
1--WE have most of us been SO
spoiled by the high wages Of pros
perity in the last two or three years
that we have forgotten how we used
to work to get orders in the years
that we considered normal We
have no right 10 complain that the
public won't buy if we make no
real effort to sell and at the same
time discourage the public with talk
of hard times
''Of course, the boom times have
passed, and whether they were really
good or bad years depends on the
net result of business after all the
boom has dried up. But looking
back over a period OF 10 TO 90 years
and comparing the buying power
of the average citizen today with
I hn hn in h ar
in the bank at any time during
that period, who will say that the
opportunity to do business today
is less than it was five or 10 years
ago? ?
'Of course, there are some people
out OF work, but even some of these
are good business prospects today.
The fact is that most of the people in
this country have more money and
more property today than they ever
had before, and there are enough
make good business for all Of ne
if we will make it attractive for
them to buy what they need
Just to illustrate this point: A
friend Of mine has about made up
his mind to buy "a new automobile.
He knows what he wants and has
the money to pay for il, but he is
not quite willing TO walk into that
agents office and lay down his check
Now if a good salesman for that
particular ear should get hold of my
friend and take him into the office
and show some interest in putting
the sale across that car would be
sold tomorrow. .---
Another man says his wife is
going to buy a washing machine.
He is willing to pay for it, but isn't
interested enough to shop around
and look into the merits OF the diff
ferent makes himself If somebody
would send one of the things up to
his house and show his wife how to
run it, the chances are 10 to she
would keep it.
people are eating three meals a
day just the same as ever. They
are wearing just as many clothes.
The movies are crowded, the best
hotels are full, the roads on Sundays
and holidays are jammed with au
tomobiles all ever the country.
Many retail stores have so many
customers that you can't get waited
on promptly if you wanted to buy
Does that look like hard
times. | should say not.
Lots of people have more money
than they ever had before. Don't
forget that.
There are just two things we all
need to bust this business gloom.
First, stop talking poor business
and talk better business.
Second, do everything in your
power to start the normal flow
of money through business chan
