dressed members of the Washington
Bond Club at their May luncheon to-
day.. his subject being Bonds as a
Bank Investment"
Mr.. Bell called attention to the tre-
mendous increase during the last 10
years in the popularity of bonds as
bank investments. He also stated
that while loans on securities have
made huge gains in the past decade,
commercial paper eligible for redis.
count has been steadily decreasing.
During the past five years there
has been a rapid increase in time and
savings deposits. Demand deposits
have increased 81 per cent while time
and savings deposits have gained
more than 80 per cent. Corporations
have found it to their advantage to

ANOTHER MURDER DRAMA

1t is possible that Streator, Ill,
will be the scene of murder case
soon which will take its place in
history along side the Snyder-G Gray,
Hall Mills and Leopold Loeb
classics.
Mrs. Eliza Hill, wife of Streator
cid doctor, was found dead, buried
under debr.- in the basement of her
home.
Her son disappeared.
He is known to have had gam
bling debts, and 1t is alleged that
his mother refused him money to
pay them.
Adding these facts to other clews,
detectives believe that the young
man shot his mother in the back
while she was preparing a lunch
for him. and then buried the body
in the basement.
The father of the boy, asserting
that he does not want to put
rope around his sons neck, refuses
to assist the officers.
Neighbors and others have been
questioned, and a circumstantial
chain of evidence is being put to-
gether which may prove just mys-
FERROUS enough and just convincing
enough to turn the case into the
next big murder drama for an avid
American public.
OF course, it may end before the
climax is worked up properly.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1927-08-27

Not since Woodrow Wilson died
hac the snuffing out of life in
America caused such a stir around
the world. Whether these two men
were murderers or victims of our
political intolerance, they blackened
the name OF the nation which killed
them.
But the bombing and rioting
which has been reported from near
ly every city of international i'm
portance will not alter the facts.
1t will only cause needless loss and
suffering.
And in sense, the death march
in Boston Sunday will be test OF
American liberals. There will be
no religious rites. but the bodies Of
the two men will be born through
the streets by comrades in a silent
protest. If such a demonstration
is staged peacefully, the radicals
will have proven themselves more
capable of self-control, than the
conservatives who, in the enthusi-
asm Of red hunting. committed the
shameful mistake of letting politics
and murder trial get mixed.
France is perhaps the most ex-
cited nation The radical press of
Paris talks of reprlsals from the
ranks of American Legion members
at the convention next month. If
the Legion can turn such foes into
friends by its conduct in Paris, it will
have won a victory for America sec
ond only to that of the World War.

OIL is PUMPED /.
UP FASTEST BY
UNITED STATES
All Production Records Were
Shattered Last Year,
Says Bureau.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 81. - All
records for oil production went by
the boards last yea when tho
United States produced 770,874,0OO
barrels OF crude petroleum, or 7O.3
per cent of the total world produce
ton of 1,O95, $4,000 barrels, the
Bureau of Mines announced today.
Mexito was poo second with
90,421, 900 barrels and Russia third
with 62,94l,O0 barrels of forty-two
gallons each.
American production last yoor
7131,000 barrels greater than n
1925. The bulk of the increased
production was recorded in Tex S,
which produced 16e,923,000 bare S,
or nearly one-four OF the entce
American supply. California pro-
duction slumped 100000 barrels TO
224,673,000 barrels, while Oklahoma
boosted its output 100000 barrels
to 1915, 900.

THERE'S DRINKING TONIGHT

More astounding evidence of the
failure to enforce prohibition was
disclosed this week in connection
with a new dry shake-up.
1t is necessary to get rid OF the
drinkers in the dry department,
says the federal car. He is to dis
cuss this matter with the Seattle
administrator Sept. l. Complaints
have been especially bad from the
west coast.
And a review of the departments
history indicates that this is no new
development. Dismissal Of twenty
four sleuths in New York this
week, raised the total number GUST
ed from the federal force to e96.
Since August, 1925, there have
been thirty charges in zone admin
istrators,
But the new alcohol formula
which has been used since April l,
represents some progress-if you
want to call it that. Not single
instance of cracking" the new de-
naturant formula has been reported,
says Prohibition Commissioner
Doran.
Pharmacists made score for the
vets, however. when they raped
prohibition and advocated its repeal
at their convention in st. Louis.
"a physician in trying to save hu-
man life should not be handicapped
by restrictions put on the statute
books by laymen." one leading
pharmacist declared.
The w. G. T. u. convention
opened in Minneapolis, with 5000
reported in attendance.
