solicitors ordinance recently enacted
here has been made to U. S. district

GIRL, 10, HELD
NOT GUILTY OF
KILLING MAN
Violet DickersOn. in Court
With 4-MOnths-Old Baby.
Is Given Freedom

Philadelphia, Oct. lS.-Violet Dick
erson, 19-year- old mother, was today
acquitted of the charge of murder
in the holdup and killing of Louis
Hirsch, an aged storekeeper, last
November.
The girls case was given TO the
jury late yesterday and when no ver-
dict had been reached at 9 p. m.
Judge McDevitt ordered the jury
locked up for the night. He said he
took this action so early in the night
out of consideration for the girl and
her four months-old baby.
Miss Dickerson took the witness
stand in the closing hours of her
trial and declared that for II days
prior to the fatal shooting she was
under the complete domination, men
tally and physically, of Charley Oef-
finger, her companion on the night
Of the tragedy, who was convicted
last December of first degree mur-
der and sentenced to death for the
killing. 1t was Oeffinger, she SAID,
who fired the shot after coercing
her to accompany him to Hirsch's
store. In the IL days that she and
Oeffinger occupied room together,
she testified, she was beaten by him,
threatened with death and exposure
Of her approaching motherhood if
she did not stand by him.
Hrsch was shot last November
when he resisted attempts of Oetf
niger and Miss Dickerson to rob him.
Oeffinger was arrested Immediately
after the shooting but the girl es-
capped and was captured the follow
ing night. Both admitted the hold
up but each accused the other of
having fired the fatal shot.

BANK DEPOSITS.
IN NORTHWEST
RISE RAPIDLY
Estimated to Have Increased
More Than 100000, 600
Within Few Weeks
RESERVES BANK TOTAL
Remarkable Showing Made
by Ninth District Federal
Reserve Institution

Minneapolis, Mimi, Oct. 18.-Bank
deposits in the northwest have in
creased more than $lOO,OOO.OOO in
the last two weeks.
AS direct result of the large
northwest grain crop moving to mar
kets. sustained by the new European
buying power arising from the set
tlement under the Dawes reparations
plan, deposits of member banks with
the Federal Reserve Bank at Minnea.
polls, in two weeks, made the most
remarkable gain in the history of the
institution, the weekly balance sheet
of the Minneapolis Federal Reserve
Bank today showed. Deposits of the
nearly 1000 member banks with the
federal bank were $57,Ol3,317. Two
weeks ago, the statement showed, the
figure as $49,469,390.
Means $l00.o00.O00 Gain
A $7,OOO,00O gain at the federal"
means a $lO0,O0O,OOO gain in deposits
in member banks, according to the
ratio reckoned at the bank. More
over, there are 1900 banks in the
ninth reserve district which are not
members of the Minneapolis Federal
Reserve Bank. Therefore, the gain
in reality is greater than 100000, 900
according to Minneapolis bankers.
Twin City banks must keep 10 per
cent of their demand deposits and 3
per cent of their time deposits in the
Minneapolis Federal Reserve Bank.
Other member banks in the district
must keep per cent of their demand
deposits and 3 per cent of their time
on redeposit in the federal"
Due Wholly to Grain Movement
Bankers said that the bulge wholly
is due to the marketing of the grain
crop and that the extraordinary size
of it is due to the unusually large
crop and the export demand that is
buoying prices.
The deposit figure of the Minnea-
polls Federal Reserve bank ordinarily
changes slowly. 1t shows slight fluc-
tuations. From Jan. 1, 1929 to Jan
/, 1928, the deposit figure climbed
from $42,O0O,OOO to $4,000, 900, small
er gain in ~ months than in the last
two weeks.
On July so. 1924, the figure was
S45999 5S4; August 27. $46.976,12O
September "a, $5O,129,711; October 1,
$49, ,469,39O; October 8, $5l,212,95l,
and October Is, $57,012,317.
Reduction in Loans
The comparison Of the figures of
the corresponding period year ago
shows no such leap as in the last two
weeks, and also illustrates how
steady ordinarily is this "redeposit'
figure. For August 20, 1924, the fig
ure was $46,639,O0O; September 26,
SAG, G,759,OO0; October 3, $4s,10l 900;
October 10, $47,S46,OOO, and October
II, $46,468, 900.
Deposits in Minneapolis banks were
shown by the last response to the
call of the controller to have risen
$50, ,OO0,O 900 over year ago.
With the rise in bank deposits
from the new crop money, there has
come a sharp reduction in outstand-
ing loans to member banks. The
October Is statement showed $8,O7G,-
TAT outstanding. On October II.
1923, the figure was $29,311,111.
Minneapolis bankers reported
heavy payments of interest on farm
and increases in deposits
from county treasurers in their
country correspondent banks.

Peking, Oct. l8.-(By the A. P.).-
Fighting between the invading Man
churian forces Of General Chang Tso-
lin and the armies of the Peking
government is being carried on with
such violence and added intensity 1T
Shankhaikwan, that the outcome may
decide the winner in the conflict for
control of the central Chinese gov
ernment, according to observers. who
returned today from the Chihlian-
Manchurian front.
Both sides are putting forward
their best fighting units in the bat
tie front for the important strategic
entrances to Shankhaikwan, which
is located near the Manchurian-C Chih
lian border and is held by central
government troops
According to observers, the purpose
of the invading Manchurian troops is
to break through the line at Shank
haikwan before the troops in the Je-
hold region, separated front, be-
come menace to the Manchurian
thanking forces.
Lines Weakened
1t is also reported that General
Chang Tso-lin has been forced to
weaken his lines at Jehold and Chi
feng in order to stiffen his attacks
around Shankhaikwan. In the latter
sector the fighting has been heavier
around the village of Shimenkai,
which has changed hands repeatedly
under the artillery fire of both sides.
Guns are mounted in the hills over
looking the town.
From all appearances, observers
report, neither side has gained de-
cided advantage in the fighting thus
far. 1t is said that General WI Pei
fu, military head Of the Peking gov
ernment, has not yet launched SER
ious offensive, being satisfied to pro-
tect his lines against surprise move
ment on the part of the invading
forces while additional Peking troops
are being sent to the front.

Two miles in 1876, $500 miles to-
day--all the way, in fact, from
Havana, Cuba, to Catalina Island off
the coast of Southern California-is
the record in the remarkable develop
ment of toll telephone service in this
country. The range in conversation
has gradually extended until now it
is possible to telephone between any
two states in the Union
The first conversation by overhead
lines occurred on October 8, 1876. 1t
was between Boston and Cambridge,
a distance of two miles. The expert
ment was a complete success and was
followed on October &c, 1876, by what
may be termed the first long distance
conversation in the world. Alexander
Graham Bell, the inventor of the tel
ephone, talked from Salem, Mass,
over a wire with his assistant,
Thomas A. Watson, in Boston, Is
miles away This was the first pub
lie demonstration of the telephone
and it served to bring home to the
people of the nation that there was
now new word in the language,
pew idea in the scientific world.
After this, developments were
rapid. BY 1880 line had been con-
btructed between Boston and Provi-
deEce, a distance of As miles, and this
