RETAIL MERCHANTS OF n. Y.

(COpyflSNt, Io-1.J
NEW YORK, June 21.-Prepara-
tons for the close-down over the
Fourth of July is proving decided
factor in the business situation
throughout this section. The retail
merchants are in the midst of a de-
cided squirt, with especial demand
for summer clothing, sporting goods
and vacation accessories. Factories
and manufacturing plants, however.
are deferring any increase in &C
tivity or production until after the
holiday.
Retail merchants are offering some
attractive bargains. This is along
the lines so strongly emphasized by
leaders here in various lines of in
dustry that business must be ought
actively rather than passive waiting.
Inactivity in jobbing and whole
sale lines may be attributed in part
to approach of the semi-annual
closing of accounts, stochtaking and
inventory period.
Money is easier throughout this
section. Collections are better and
many concerns are steadily liquidat-
ing their loans. The increase in
building in the greater city is in
creasing and dry goods are steady
with fair demand for future delivery.

MINNEAPOLIS YOUTH
STABBED TO DEATH
MYSTERY SURROUNDS ATTACK
ON BOY WALKING ALONG
RIVER BANK

Pioneer Press (21):-An 18-year-old
youth was stabbed to death Wednesday
afternoon in secluded spot on the
banks of the Mississippi river. Police
believe an assailant lay in waiting for
the young man, as he walked along the
bank, stabbed him and threw him into
the river. Robbery is believed to have
been the motive, although the youth is
known to have had less than So in his
pockets. He had no money when
found.
The victim was Melvin Larson, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. P. J. Larson, 1915
Portland avenue, Minneapolis. He
died in st. Mary's hospital half hour
after his cries for help had been heard
by w. Holster, 2314 Ninth street
south, who was working at the Min
neapolis approach Of the new Franklin
avenue bridge.
Holster heard faint cries from the
bank north of the bridge.
He worked his way down the steep
bank to the rivers edge and went
about 500 feet, where he saw Larson
with feet dangling in the water and
groaning with pain from a deep cash
in his abdomen.
Larson, between gasps, said that lie
had crawled from the river. He NUT
tered. "He stabbed me and I don It
know why he did it. couldn't pro-
tect myself.'
At st. Mary's hospital, where city
detectives talked to Larson, the youth
repeated that someone had attacked
him but gave them no further informa-
tiOn.

HIGHWAY ENGINEER
SUMS UP II PLANS
IMPROVEMENTS ON 1850 MILES

miles, total of nearly l,2OO miles, will
Minnesota trunk highways during the
first year under the Babcock plan, ac-
coriing to q forecast this week by John
FL. Mullen, assistant commissioner and
chief highway engineer.
The preliminary figures are based up
on expectation that the usual $2,S40, 900
federal aid apportionment will be made
available this year in Minnesota. 9th
erwise, the. grading may be reduced to
about 500 miles, gravel surfacing to
$50 miles and paving to 65 miles, a
9l5-mile total.
Mr.. Mullen s forecast of new con-
struction does not take into account
the maintenance Improvements for
which $3.OOO,OO0 has been set aside this
season to spread immediate benefits of
the Babcock plan to every mile of the
1.C0O-mile trunk highway system. The
division includes more than LAO pa
trolmen now repairing and smoothing
trunk routes and is counted on to bring
first general benefits under the new
highway development program.
The new construction is scattered in
more than IS different sections and
when completed, will make new totals
of 2,176 miles Of grading, 1879 miles
of gravel surfacing and 1872 miles of
paving on the state trunk system. 1t
will cost approximately $l0,000.0O0, if
carried through without curtailment,
and will represent expenditures of $5,-
100000 of countw reimbursement bond
money, $2,s4o,000 of federal aid, and
the balance of the motor vehicle tax
revenue after $S,000,000 is deducted and
placed in the maintenance fund.
The highway department, as previous
progress figures show, is speeding good
roads work but is now forced to await
action by congress on federal aid legis-
lation.
