FEARS ARE FELT FOR U. s. MARINES
Words Spoken by Slain Woman Incriminate Doctor
BUSINESS FACES PRESENT YEAR
 WITH CONSERVA ATIVE OPTIMISM
By STANLEY w. PRENOSiL Associated Press Finance Editor)


 NEW YORK, Jan. Business men and bankers view the ous- look for 1928 with conservative optimism.
 There is a feeling in many quar- .ters that political uncertainties invariably arising during Presi- dential years are likely to have a retarding effect upon some lines of business, but it is pointed out that other factors are decidedly favorable.
 Credit supplies are ample, in- yentories low, transportation sys- tens efficient, labor plentiful and relations between capital and la Dor generally pleasant. Most con cerns are able to finance them selves without extensive recourse to bank credit. The stupendoes floatation of new securities during 1927 has created demand for labor and materials. Increasing competition from Europe has beel offset to a certain extent by hig1- CT exchange rates.
 Wall Street faces the futufe with confidence.
 Easy money rates resulting from tremendous increase in ii.- vestment capital and moderate recession in commercial demands formed the basis for virtually an unchecked rise in stock prices 10 new high levels during 1927. Bust ness generally, however, as re- flected in freight car loadings, automobile and steel production and corporation earnings, fell slightly below the 1926 figures.
 From an economic standpoint one of the most significant de velopments of 1927 was the re Turn Of farm prosperity Ttue''ro 2 gradual correction of the dispari ty. between agricultural and nor. agricultural prices. The North west, which produced the largest Spring wheat crop since 1915, is reported to be in the best cond'- ton since the war.

Witness Gives Startling Testimony Before

WEALTHY WOMAN HAD
 FEAR OF BEING SLAIN
Mrs. Appleby Expressed Belief She Would Be
 Killed by Doctor

. LOS ANGELES, Cal, Jan. B. Words spoken several months D ago by Mrs. Amelia Appleby, wealthy victim of sack murder, today echoed what deputy sher- ifs declared may be the sensa- tional accusation of Dr. Charles McMillan. her former business manager now held as the suspect ed murderer.
 The words were fears the slain woman is said to have expressed ' to George McNally that McMillan !, might attempt to take her life. McNally, called as witness before the grand jury, declared ' McMillan had asked the woman to marry him but she feared he was only seeking her money.
 McNally quoted the woman as telling him she feared Dr. Me Milan would attempt to poisop ;. her and she. instructed McNally to notify the police in the event of her untimely death.
 Coincident with the announce ment that the grand jury would investigate the death, deputy 2 sheriffs asked for an analysis by county chemists of blood stains z on the head and handle of a hammer discovered in the garage of Mrs. Appleby's home. Prev :, ious evidence indicated the wom- an was killed in rear room of her home.
 The body was trussed in a canvas sack ill which it was found eight days ago on the out. . skirts of Los Angeles.

 NEW YORK, Jan. 3We are told often that this is an age Of change, of great upheavals and new problems, and this is quite true, but our age is not peculiar in this. It has been so in each age and doubtless will continue to be so.
 A sufficient study of history would make most of us more mod est as to our present achieve ments, more appreciative of the lessons of the past. and more sure that God rules and that He is working His purpose out as year succeeds to year. None of us can say. what the present year will bring but in the light of move ments now taking place there are three things which I hope and be lieye we shall see in the religious life of our country in the yeal 1928.
 Less of Controversy
 1. I believe that in the present year we shall see a lessening ci the spirit of controversy among Christians.
 The controversy between the modernists and the fundamental ists has already spent itself. Most of us refuse to be labelled with either of these titles because the Gospel in which we believe is larger than either of them and includes the truth for which each of them stands. Educated Chris tians do not argue about tht theory of evolution, they take il for granted and find it help mol hindrance to their faith.
 The supposed conflict between religion and science belongs ,t the past. One of the leading sci entists of our land said the othel day Science is making us bet ter Christians. Science is lead ing us closer and closer to God. And this statement IS typica one.
 I say advisedly and with fuI responsibility for the statemen that no one can show any fact J science, any discovery of moderr knowledge. any valid claim o truth or reason to debar . sinces, (Continued on Page Five.
