CONFIDENCE FELT
AFTER CONF FERENCE
Nothing Really InSubstantiaI
Found to Exist During
Business Farley Here.
BY DAVID LAWRENCE.

Aftermath of the business confer
ence leaves an impression of genuine
confidence here. What the business
men said in their prepared statements
was accepted as the favorable side of
the picture, but, even when the not-for-
publication comments we're analysed, 1t
was found that nothing really insup-
stantial existed and that postponements
were due either to seasonal recessions
or natural hesitancy.
If the conference did anything that
could be tangibly grasped at so early u
date it was the assurance that business
men gave each other. Indeed, some
of the comments indicated that the
stock market decline might be absorbed
as readily as was the collapse III
values in Florida few years ago. There
we're optimists, too, who pointed out
that basically much misinformation hau
been spread and much exaggeration
given to paper losses in the stock
market.

A. D. Whiteside of the American
Wool Institute said that industry was
holding its own and would do every
thing 1t could to maintain its present
situation in production and employ

to do so because there was only 30-day
supply Of worSteds on hand.

Frank A. Seiberling, president Of the
Rubber Manufacturers Association
The industry is preparing to go along
after January doing a better business
than it did in 1929, employing more

our own estimates prior to the gather

ON II CHARGES
Alley Is Street So Motorist
Escapes Penalties.

Court street may be only a dig
nified alley" but it afforded the
turning point" in the municipal
court trial today Of Paul Gray, 80,
OF Graceland avenue, on eleven
traffic violation charges.
Seven policemen, waiting to testi-
fly, saw Gray go free because all
eleven charges had been grouped
under one case number, and City
Prosecutor Herbert Spencer picked
the wrong violation to get a convic-
ton.
Unwilling to try all eleven Of
fenses under one number, Judge
Clifton R. Cameron told the prose-
cutor to take his choice of the
charges for trial.
From the eleven charges of i'm
proper parking and other alleged
traffic law violations, Spencer chose
one for violation of the rules of the
road, turning in the middle of a
block.
An officer testified Gray turned
around in Pennsylvania street at the
alley between Washington and Mar
ket streets July IL.
But Dan Brown, Gray's attorney,
asked, isn't that alley court street,"
Officer and judge admitted it was,
and grudgingly. agreed that Gray,
therefore, had turned around at a
corner.

gers, Says Speaker.
THE world,s ancient Indictment

THE worlds ancient indictment
Il Of woman as biped with a
propensity to wag her tongue is
libelous, but it took the talking
motion picture to prove it.
That is the deduction of Miss
Marjorie Williams, director of the
Hollywood (Cal) Studio Club, a
residence for young girls employed
in the motion picture industry.
Since the screen cast off its
sphinxlike habiliments the influx
to the worlds movie center Of
girls from Americas crossroads
towns has dwindled perceptibly,
she says.
Miss Williams today spoke be-
fore the Optimist Club at the
Claypool on women and girls in
motion pictures.
Girls may like to chatter, but
most of those who go to Holly
wood now are from the stage. In
experienced persons know that the
work is becoming specialized, and
usually each girl has something
in mind before she comes" Miss
Williams said.
conditions in Hollywood have
been improved since several years
ago because the public has been
educated that all that glitters is
not ones name in the electric
lights
Recently I was talking with
one of the women in a casting Of
fee. She said Indiana should
be thankful for the talkies. We
used to have hundreds Of girls
from the Hoosier state, but the
rush now is halted. "

WASHINGTON, July 12.-Abrupt
termination Wednesday Of Russian

way was regarded in diplomatic cir
cleS here today as an important
move in the anti-COmmunist cam
paign of the new nationalist govern
ment in China
Observers here expressed fears
that Japan might become involved
because of japanese ownership Of
the South Manchuria railway. This
important line connects with the
Chinese Eastern at Harbin and runs
southwark through Mukden and
Dairen.
The Chinese Eastern was financed
entirely by the imperial Russian
government under the terms Of an
1896 agreement with China, follow
ing an 1894 secret treaty.
OF great importance, for both
financial and strategic reasons, the
road extended sOutheaStward from
a connection with the trans
Siberian railway across the whole Of
Manchuria to Vladivostok and the
japanese Sea. e n is the most i'm

China now contends the soviet
government voluntarily abrogated
the railroad treaty by declaration
that all treaties between China and
the Czarist government became in
effective after the soviet revolution.
