REMUS WC: I TESTIFY
 IN HIS OWN BEHALF
Ex-Bootleg King Says Things He Intended to
 Say Have Been Said

Cincinnati. O., Dec. , P>-George Ecmus, the former king of boot leggcrs," served notice upon Judge Chester E. Shook at the renewal OF his murder trial today that he would not testify in his own behalf.
 Kemus was addressing the court in connection with a motion he had made to investigate what he term ed libelOus statements in q news story sent 10 d New York news paper last week. Reums asked that the reporter who filed the story be cited for contempt of court.
 Kemus asserted to Judge Shook that no statement the defendant had made since the opening of the trial could be questioned.
 T now wish 10 apologize to the court and the prosecution for one promise l made, however" roared Eemus in a voice which indicated he had thrown off the effects of a heavy cold.
 This defendant will not take the witness stand.
 Prosecutor Taft arose and dcfend- t1 tn" newspaper reporter and de- lied RemuS to take the witness stand for cross examination upon news story statements that Remus had given out. Judge Shook over ruled the motion.
 'I have read this article and take il as no reflection on the court" with Rcmus, said Remus' only req son for refusing to testify was be- cause the things he had intended 10 say already had been stated.
 Remus' motion named Dudley Nichols of the New York World. Nichols reproduced the 1,5O0 word statement given out through press agent last Saturday by Ruth Remus, daughter of the slain wom- an and adopted daughter of Remus. Analysed rulings of the court con- cluded that Remus would not testi- fy and cited reasons why Remus would address the jury in a final argument to save himself from the electric chair.
 RemuS' motion was to the effect that his adopted daughter could not have been the author of the state ment credited to her, and demand ed an investigation to establish the identity of the author.

THUGS TURN CAFE
 INTO BATTLEFIELD
Machine Guns Shower Bullets on
 Chicago Dancers
ONE DEAD, SEVERAL DYING
Waiter Shot as He Tries to Summon Aid-Policeman Floors Leader Officers and Bandits Exchange Fire as Guests Seek Safety.

Chicago, Dec. LP)-An attemp, to hold up 200 guests at the Parod, cafe, 12o1 North State street at 2:45 a. m. today turned Into a sensational gun fight with the dance floor as the battle-ground. The casualties were:
 One man shot dead. Five men and two women wound ed.
 There were six robbers Two. car rylng pistols, entered the main en- trance during an intermission in the dance program and ordered all hands up. Behind them came two others, carrying sub-machine guns, the apidfiring automatic weapons frequently employed in gangster raids.
 Behind these four came a man in a black mask. carrying an automatic shotgun. This robber, the leader, , stopped in the middle of the dance floor. whirling about with the weapon so as to command the four sides of tables at which sat the guests.
 The man in the mask fired one shot into the ceiling as he command ed all to keep their hands above their heads.
 Leader Shot Down
 John Fried, a policeman attached to the city prosecutors office who was a guest, opened fire on the man, an easy mark in the center of the polished floor. The robber pivoted around to meet the attack. fired one shot and his weapon damned.
 Fried emptied his revolver and the bandit chief dropped with four bullets in his body. Later at a hos pital it was said he probably would not recover.
 When the robbers first appeared Harry Smith. a waiter, attempted to slip out a rear exist. He was shot dead by a lookout, the sixth member of the robber band.
 Frieds action In opening fire threw the place into confusion. Sev- eral officers off duty but present as guests, began firing.
 Entertainer Near Death
 The single shot the bandit let go in Fried's direction struck June Griffith, 20, an entertainer. in the left side. She may die.
 Miss Fannie Hillman, 2S, guest. was shot in the hand as she held it high above her head.
 Police Sergeant Cohan. seated with Mrs. Cohan at a table. began firing. He was shot in the left side either by one of the robbers or in the cross fire from policemen across the dance floor.
 Charles Silverman, another guest, got bullet in the left hip and Will liam r. Melone, seated at one of the tables. was shot in the body, though not seriously.
 Archie Schaffer, with shot in the lung, reported at a hospital later, but said he had been shot some dis tance from the Parody. His story was being checked.
 Miss Griffith and the masked man, who refused to give his name. were the only persons shot whose wounds may prove fatal.
 There was one arrest within q few minutes of the shooting. Meyer Go land, 2S, was taken in the cafe for questioning.

 The body Of an aviator, believed here 10 be that Of Count J. DeLes- sepps. was picked up today on the shore at Clambake Cove. near here. It had been in the water some time. Count De Lessepps disappeared some time ago while on flight down the St. Lawrence valley.

 The body was clothed in a com plete aviation suit. It was placed in care Of Father Pineault, a Catholic priest here.
 St. Georges Bay is near the south ern end of the west coast of New foundland, fronting on tn eGulf of St. Lawrence. This location makes it improbable that the body Is that of any of the transatlantic fiiers who last summer while on | oi fn fro nd as their courses would not have car ried them so far from the east coast.

BULLS HOLD SWAY
ON CURB MARKET
Speculative Enthusiasm Un-
abated and New Highs
Are Numerous.
BY WILLIAM f. HEFFERNAN.


NEW YORK, June 1.-Speculative
enthusiasm showed no signs of waning
in the operations on the Curb Exchange
today. New high records were numer-
Gus, and buying operations were car
ried on with an utter disregard of the
price appreciation which already had
taken place.
Celanez Corporation sold at 302. com
pared with the previous closing of 290,
and the first preferred and new COM
mon rose proportionately The heavy
demand for Artificial Silk Products
and the fact that this company owns
one of the processes for the manufac-
ture of artificial silk appeared to be all
that was needed to stimulate an in.
creased demand at the higher level.
Bunker Hill and Sullivan Mining
rose from the previous final of 80 to
103 before the demand subsided. The
company has a long period of uninter.
rupted dividend payments back of 1t,
but the best explanation for the de.
mand was the report that recent un-
covering of a valuable zinc ore body
by one of its subsidiaries is expected
to result in pronounced improvement
in earnings, 1t was significant also
that Federal Mining and Smelling was
credited with ownership of approx
mately 10000 shares of Bunker Hill
and Sullivan.
All that was necessary to encourage
buying of Johns -Manville was the
knowledge that it is now considered
Morgan stock" Around so it COM
pared with the previous high of 7G%.
Equitable Office Building, also at
new top, was responding to publica-
ton of the earnings for the year
ended April 80 last, which disclosed
net for the common of $3.50 a share,
against $709 share in the previous
year.
Financial and Industrial Securities.
Deere & Co. and Southeastern Power
Light also sold at their highest for
1927. American Gas & Electric, up
points, and American Light and Trac-
ton new were other features of the
public utility group.
The selling which carried Yellow
Taxi to a new low following passing
of the dividend appeared to have been
completed.
Vacuum was about the only mem
ber of the oils to do anything note.

sibility Of a substantial stock distribu.

WHEAT HAS UPTURN
IN TODAY'S DEALINGS
Receivers From Initial Drop on
Bullish Estimates on Kansas
and Oklahoma Yield.
BY the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, June 1.-Wheat turned
sharply upward today after initial de.
clines associated with bearish crop
advicess from Canada. The ensuing ad-
vance was largely due to unofficial es-
Inmates pointing to big reductions In
yield for Kansas and Oklahoma. Open.
ing ia cents off to Il cent up wheat
later showed decided gains. Corn and
oats also developed strength, corn
starting at Il to "a cent decline and
sagging a little more, but then maxi
ing a sudden rise. Provisions were
easy.
According to a forecast today. from
a leading private crop expert the
probable production of Winter wheat
i'm Kansas and Oklahoma will total
only 162 100000 bushels, whereas last
year it was 223 1902 900 bushels. Sup.
plementing the effect of this announce
ment was an official report saying that
another dry week with plenty of wind
had done the Kansas wheat crop no
good and that fields infested with
Hessian fly were beginning to go
down.
Unwelcome general showers pre-.
dicted for Iowa and other big corn
States tonight gave Independent
strength to corn. Corn received good
support around $100 for July and
there was much reinstating of lines
sold out in the last two days.
