Portland. April 12.-Charles E.
Hills, %, Of II George street, Port
land, preSsman in the employ of
Sputhworth Brothers, was drowned
in Jordan's Bay at Raymond today,
when a squall struck the canoe In
which he and Walter J. Meserve, 40

for salmon. Meserve escaped death
after a terrible struggle in the wa
tiers of the lake, the canoe, to which
he was clinging, repeatedly being
bowled over by the wind as it was
driven toward what is known as
Gardeners Point.
So exhausted that he would have
been compelled to give up the strug-
gle within a few minutes, MeServe
suddenly felt his feet touch bottom,
and loosening his hold on the frail
craft, he staggered ashore, reached
out and grasped a small pine tree
in front of him, and sank uncon-
scious to the ground few feet from
one of the snowbanks that still re-
main In the woods in that vicinity
There he lay for more than two
hours. and when he recovered con-
scipusness his clothing partially
dried by the wind, he dragged his
way a distance of a mile through
tho woods and then walked about
another mile through the village to
thd home of Edward NJ. Mason,
where he gasped out the story of the
tragic ending of the days outing.
The body of Hills has not been re-
covered.

PRESIDENT AND WIFE
BUY NO new CLOTHES
FOR EASTER SUNDAY

Washington. April 1.-THE Capitol
was vouchsafed a day of rare brill
lance and charm for the observance
Of Easter in its churches. thorough
fares and parks.
All Of the special church services
were largely attended and the Easter
parade that formed in the streets and
avenue, lined with freshly budding
trees. was made uncommonly colorful
by the bright, balmy atmosphere.
President and Mrs. Coolidge observ-
ed the day quietly, leaving the White
House only to attend special service
at the First Congregational church
They were greeted by large crowd as
they left the White House and by an
other as they drove up to the church,
which held two morning services in
date as many as possible of the large
of applicants from all parts
of the country for cards Of admission.
In the crowds through which the
president and his wife passed were
many new frocks being worn for the
first time, but Mr.. and Mrs. Coolidge
appeared in garments taken from their
regular wardrobes.
Mrs. Coolidge's gown was Of tan
georgette, and she wore a blue satin
coat with a tan lining. Her hat was
of black, ornamented with deep pink
flowers, and her slippers and stock
ings were selected to match the gown.
The president wore a frock coat and
high silk hat.

Trade Conditions
Confusing Due to
Conflicting Phases

New 1Ork, April Is.-tBy "A. ~
Conflicting phases Of business devel-
oped last week, intensifying the confu-
sion over general trade conditions
which has prevailed for several weeks
activity accompanied a
moderate Strengthening Of the finan-
cial and commodity markets, but price
were too irregular to use
as an index to the trend Of business.
Cumulative effects of recent recess
sions in the steel industry were re-
fected in the U. S. Steel Corporations
report of decrease of 421,2O7 tons in
untitled orders at the end of March.
The decline, which was the first set
back since last August, brought the
total Of untitled tonnage to the lowest
level since the close of 1924.
Although the reduction exceeded the
highest estimates, the financial district
had been prepared for the poor show
ing by statement of Chairman L. II.
Gary, who frankly admitted that
March business had been far from
good. Some encouragement was deriv-
ed from his assertion that improve
ment had been noted since April and
that fundamental conditions were the
best in the country's history, but this
was partially counteracted by his ad-
that keen competition and
high production costs wers narrowing
the margin of profits in industry.
Confidence in underlying conditions
was sustained, however, by several IA
vorable elements-record breaking sea-
sonal car loadings, heavy bank clear
ings, steadier commodity prices and a
sudden squirt of activity in retail
trade with the approach of Easter.
With record operations reported by
a number of automobile manufacturers
the investing public testified to its be-
lief in the future of the industry by
heavily oversubscribing the sucerity
offerings of the Dodge Brothers Motor
Company, totalling $160,000,000. The
favorable response to the largest sin
gle piece of industrial financing in
American banking had tonic effect on
sentiment and gave indications Of a
vast reserve of buying power.
Conditions in the oil industry re-
manned unsettled. Gasoline prices
were reduced again by the Standard
Oil Company Of New Jersey and a
small increase In crude oil output was
reported.
In view of the steady gains In
freight traffic, the failure Of the rail-
roads to maintain earnings at high
err level caused some uneasiness. Final
summaries of 1924 results also proved
depressing the market
for securities of the carriers.

Chicago, April IAN unsuccessful
attempt at suicide was made today by
Mrs. Anna Cunningham of Gary, Ind,
according to police officials who are
holding her in temporary custody here
pending investigation into the deaths
of her husband and four children in
the past seven years and the serious
illness of another son.
The son, David, is declared by Corc-
ner Wolff of Cook county, Illinois, to
be suffering from arsenic poisoning.
Mrs. Cunningham collapsed yester-
day after making statements to police
that she had always kept quantities
of arsenic in the house for rat poison"
She was in state of coma in the
county hospital several hours. and on
recovering refused to answer any more
questions.
Policewoman Agnes Whalen, who
was assigned to guard her, reported
that Mrs. Cunningham attempted to
strangle herself this afternoon with
bedclotheS which she twisted SO tight
ly around her neck that her breath
was shut off. The policewoman frus-
trated the attempt after a struggle,
she said.
Preparations were completed today
for removing Mrs. Cunningham to
Lake county, Indiana, tomorrow for
questioning by states attorneys.
Meanwhile arrangements were being
made for eXhuming the bodies of the
five members of the Cunningham FAM
lily, which lie buried in a cemetery
near Valparaiso, Ind. Decision to ex-
hume the bodies were made aften an
all-day conference between Coroner
Wolff and Coroner A. O. Dobbins of
Porter county, Indiana. The decision
resulted from admissions made by
Mrs. Cunningham and the finding Of
large quantities of arsenic in fluids
taken from the body of David Cum
ningham, who is i'll at hospital here.
Prompt medical attention alone
saved David, Jr., from death, physi-
clans at the hospital said today. He
became i'll six weeks ago after eating
his lunch, he told physicians, and has
felt i'll nearly every time after eat
ing meals since" His mother pre-
pared all of his meals.
Coroner Wolff examined contents of
the cunningham house yesterday and
declared he found enough poison In
the house to kill a whole town of peo-
Dle."
