Father Of Mrs. Jim Crouch
Shoots Self on Saturday
Dependency Over Health Thought to
Have Been Reason for Suicide.

Mrs. J, NJ. Crouch was called to
Buena Vista on Saturday by the death
OF her father, Mr. r. H. Taylor, who
committed suicide there about the
middle OF the afternoon.
Mr.. Taylor was one of the most
prominent farmers of Marion county,
having large tract of land under cul-
tivation just outside of Buena Vista
and large dairy connecting. He end
ed his life with a bullet through his
forehead.
Although Mr. Taylor was in fair
health that is the only plausible rea-
son for his suicide. He had been de-
Spondent over his failure to make a
good crop, but his financial affairs
were left in fine shape. He had been
suffering slightly with bright's disease
and the possibilities of its developing
into a more serious nature is thought
to have been the cause of him end
ing his life With the exception Of
staying little closed to his home on
the day of his suicide no indications
were given that he contemplated such
an act.
Besides Mrs. Crouch he is survived
by his wife and four children, all
grown. He was % years OF age. Fun
eral services were held at his home
Sunday afternoon with a large crowd
of friends from several adjoining coun-
ties present to pay their last tribute.

SIGNS INDICATE
BUSINESS SLUMP
is NEARING. END
Production Decrease Less
Rapid, Especially In
Steel And Autos

NEW YORK, May 25.-(By the As
sociated Press. with legislative un-
certainties still restraining influence,
industrial reports received in financial
circles indicate that the recession in
business still is going on. It is point-
ed out, however, that the decrease in
production is now at less rapid rate.
Thus in the steel industry output is
now at about 60 per cent of capacity.
This is slightly lower, but the loss does
not compare with that of the correspond
ing period in April.
Buying Is Light
Buying of steel products is light and
the pig iron market is soft. Buyers are
testing the iron market with inquiries
but show little disposition to close
trades. On the other hand, it is stat
ed that consumption of steel products
is much larger than the current rate
of deliveries. With existing large pro-
ductive capacity, steelmakers also are
less disposed to let prices sink below
the cost Of production than was the
case before the war. Under these cir
cumstances, the trade expects wait
ing market to continue for a while
longer.
Revised figures for automobile pro-
duction during April show that the cur
tailment from the rate of March was
smaller than preliminary. figures sug-
gested. An output of $4,000 cars is
only per cent below the total for
March. Progress has been made in
suiting production to sales and the re-
suits for the second quarter will be
better in some instances than those for
the first.
Car Loadings Decrease
Railroad car loadings, which for many
weeks have been affected by the slump
in coal production, now are reflecting
in increased measure the slackening of
activity in the steel industry. Ore
loadings during the week ended May
10 were some 1900 cars below those
in the corresponding week last year.
Coke loading, on the same basis, were
more than 5000 cars smaller. If these
losses be added to those in coal ship
ments, the total shows a decrease of
approximately 10000 cars as compared
with last year. These classifications
therefore very nearly account for the
decline in total loadings, which amounts
to 800 cars.
Shipments of merchandise and less
than-carload freight continue to set new
high records for the season of the year.
Loadings Of miscellaneous freight, how
