He is the third district attorney

request for a public hearing, Mitch

Under repeated questioning Mrs.

farmer was the father of her in
FAINT daughter, consistently asserted
that she visited Turner the night of
the fire to effect money settlement,
that she remained over night, was
awakened by the flames and could
not find the farmer.
Decision of County Attorney Will
liam J. Flanagan to charge her with
murder was made after pathological
findings of an autopsy on Turner's
charred body disclosed yesterday
that the farmer died in the fire.
Zone fragments which physicians
said were parts Of a human arm and
skull, found in the debris Of the
buildings, led investigators to con-
clude at first that Turner's body had
been hacked and dragged to the
barn which was set Attire. The patho-

posed of this theory temporarily, but
he indicated the investigation would
continue.
Officials remained uncommunica-

motive behind Turner's staying.
Neither would they indicate whether
the bone fragments. unaccounted for
in view of the pathological report,
would be the basis of further investi-
cation.

Eight Killed, Is Injured, During
Berln's Bloody May Day Rioting
Police Finally Forced to
Open Fire on Rioters
Who Barricade Streets
and Offer Resistance.

Berlin, May R-This capital to-
day counted the cost of a night Of
rioting which followed a May Day
demonstration yesterday. Eight per-
sons were dead, some of them police
men, Is persons were seriously injur-
ed, and hundreds of others we're suf-
fering from bruises and minor in
juries. More than 500 communists
were under arrest.
The principal rioting took place
after dark in the working class quar-
ter of Berlin, where communists, in
an effort to enforce their conquer
the streets slogan for May Day,
erected barricades in the main thor
oughfare of the Pankstrasse and its
side streets.
Police Fire on Rioters
More than 5000 workers ranged
themselves behind these barricades
and held them against 500 police
men who charged with their night
sticks. The police eventually real
lied their force was too weak and
opened fire on the rioters. 1t was
not, however. until armored cars
were brought up that the barricades
finally were forced.
There was promiscuous shooting
for several hours between the two
groups, with snipers of both picking
off opponents from behind windows
OF buildings in the neighborhood.
Those communists who did not have
guns picked up paving blocks,
bottles and stones and used them. 1t
was not until after 4 p. M, that the
police were able to subdue their adj
versaries and clear the surrounding
houses of the disorderly elements.
Fighting also was reported from
the eastern and southeastern parts of
the city where light systems broke
down and added to the terror of the
populace. The conflict did not as
aume the seriousness in either of
these sections. however, it had in the
northern section.
Much of the communist feeling
yesterday was due to special police
orders denying them the right to use
the streets for their international la
Dor day demonstrations. After the
orders were issued the communists
gave loud warning that they would
create disturbances and otherwise
make their presence felt.
Until last night, however, the
demonstrations had been of minor
character. Police with the aid of
nightsticks. fire hose, and occasional
shots fired into the air, were able to
quell every outbreak. Police said
during the day they broke up more
than 10 incipient parades.
Authorities were hard put to iden-
tify many of the dead or injured.
since the communist party had Or
dered members to leave papers or
other Identifying marks at home.
The communists, evidently anticipat-
ing the sanguinary aspects Of the
demonstration. had their own first
aid squads and ambulances working

BORROWING
BY MERRYLE STANLEY
RIIKEYSER

NEW YORK, Feb. Z. = The
financial public is placing higher
appraisal value on outstanding
successes than ever before.
That is one meaning of the
disposition to bid shares of pre-
eminently successful corporations
to levels that seem fantastic in
relation to current earnings and
assets. There is a widespread
belief that in this period of height.
ened competition the best man.
aged companies will become in.
creasingfy successful, whereas me-
diocre competitors will tend to
wither and fade away. High prices
for good stocks represent competi-
ton ~ buying not only among
individuals, but also among
organized groups. including In.
Vestment trusts and holding com.
panies.
The slogan of the Wall Street
bull seems to be borrowed from a
national advertiser - eventually,
why not now%' Where public util.
ity and other companies show a
regular upward trend of earnings
which in years hence would justify
much higher prices, the optimist
feels that it is proper TO anticipate
such benefits in present prices. In
some exa ggerated cases, little room
for profit is being left open for the
next generation.
In the case of men of proven
character and ability. Wall Street
seems ready 10 hand over blank
checks. The recent oversubscrip-
ton of the securities of the ALE.
ghany Corporation is case in
point. 1t is the new holding com.
pany of o. p. and NJ. ]. Van Swer.
ingen, of Cleveland. and gives the
mana cement wide powers to in.
vest and hold railroad and other
stocks. The popularity OF these
two bachelor brothers rests on
questionably the most creative
newcomers on the railroad horizon,
and have brought to the realm of
railroading the initiative and en-.
terprise which in recent years has
been more common in industry
than in transportation. The broth
ers. who once delivered newspapers
along route In Cleveland, emerged
from financial obscurity through
their vision in developing the
Shaker Heights suburbs, outside of
Cleveland. They got into the
transportation field as a biproduct
of their real estate activities, but
now the biproduct has become their
chief preoccupation.
