MOTIVES EVOLVED
Detectives Probe Into
Deaths of Bride, Poet.

BIZ United Press
NEW YORK, Dec. 12.-While
relatives prepared today to bury Mrs
Josephine Rotch Bigelow Of Boston
and Henry Grew Crosby, poet OF
the modernistic school, detectives
evolved two possible motives for
their death in an artists studio here
Tuesday.
Either it was a suicide pact OF
liquor, detectives believed today.
Assuming that it was a suicide
pact, investigators believe that Cros-
by, a nephew of the late Mrs. J.
Pierpont Morgan, first shot Mrs
Bigelow, who was the wife of Albert
S. Bigelow, former Harvard athlete
and then turned the gun on him
self.
The liquor theory was advanced
with the finding of an empty whisky
bottle and two glasses on table
near the bed on which the bodies
were discovered.

SO PER CENT STOLEN
CARS FOUND IN 1928
A. A. A. Credits High Percentage
to Dyer Act and Improved
Locking Devices.

Ninety-three per cent of all cars
stolen In 1923 were recovered, and it is
evident that the automobile thief is
turning his attention to some more
profitable means of crime, says the
American Automobile Association.
The national motoring body believes
that the high percentage of stolen cars
recovered is directly attributed to the
Dyer act, which makes it a Federal
offense to move a stolen automobile
across the State line, as well as to the
improved locking devices. The A. A. A.
sponsored the Dyer act and also main
tains car recovery department to aid
in the finding of stolen cars.
"Five years ago." says the statement
"only SO per cent Of the cars falling into
the hands of thieves were recovered
and a 10 per cent gain in five years is
excellent progress. Figures from 26
cities reported to the A. A. A. in 1928
revealed that 74,546 cars were stolen
and SO, 1876 were recovered.
THE improved locking devices placed
on automobiles has also been a large
factor In reducing the number of cars
stolen. Motorists, therefore, can greatly
aid the situation by being sure their
cars are locked before leaving them
parked. Heavily Travelled streets are
just as dangerous in this respect as
some out-of-the-way place, and the
thief has better opportunity to drive
on car in heavy traffic"

Holds Officials Becoming Aware Of Need

Public oficials are becoming more
conscious than ever that present-day
speed laws have become Anticipated
through the march of progress Of the
Nation and are, in reality, contrary to
the needs of the time, declares H. H
Franklin, a leader In the automotive In
dustry.
Mr. Franklin has long been an ad-
vocate for a system of highways that
would look to the future of traffic needs
and he views numerous speed restric-
tons as a menace to rapid intercourse
between cities and States.
IT will venture to say that each day
every car driver at one moment or
another violates some speed law" Mr..
Franklin declares, adding that such
violation, however, Is not because the
driver Is bent on violating the law, but
because most of such laws are out OF
date as regulating measures and merit

There Is vast difference between

The practice of transporting natural
gasoline by means of crude petroleum
pipe lines, which has grown steadily in
recent years, fell of materially in 1928.
The total amount of natural gasoline
turned into pipe lines, either In the raw
state or mixed with crude or unfinished
oils In 1928, amounted to 106,616,000
gallons, as compared with 152f79, 900
gallons In 1927. The chief reason for
this decline was that the amount Of
natural gasoline turned into pipe lines
in alifornia fell of 43 per cent from
1927, although this State accounted for
rs per cent of the total for the coun-
try in 1928. It is the only State in
which this practice really flourisheS.
The amount of natural gasoline turned
into pipe lines in the Midcontinent area
increased considerably in 1928, particu-
larry in the Panhandle district, where
natural gasoline is often used used to
facilitate the movement Of the viscouS

SALES. CHIEF AIM
IN AUTO INDUSTRY
Cram Notes Reduction in
Stocks and Corresponding
Decline in Production.

With production having taken o
sharp downward turn and due to de-
cline through the closing quarter Of
the year, the automotive industry is
now occupied principally by strenuous
sales campaigns In an effort to reduce
stocks, according to B. H. Cram, presi-
dent Of Grams Automotiye Reports,
Inc. That results are being obtained
and that sales throughout the year
have justified the output levels are
borne out when one observes that
stocks have displayed no tendency to
increase and are high only relatively.
The fact is that at number Of times
during the past few months stocks
have revealed a downward trend. This,
together with the present situation,
has allayed to great extent fears for
the industry's good condition toward
the end Of the year. Used car stocks,
however, are giving dealers some con-
Germ. They are high and are still
rising. Sill, this is only the natural
result Of the unusual selling Of new
cars.
At the present time sales efforts Of
dealers are directed in q greater de-
gree toward this class of their iner-
chandise, but, with current sales re-
ports on new cars indicating a more
pronounced decline, 1t is likely that
these stocks will receive more atten-
ton in the immediate future.
Concurrent with this condition u o
greater steadiness In the recession Of
output. The decline was less this week
than during the previous period and
occurred for the most part in the
medium and high priced fields. Little
change was noted in the low-priced
class
Output of trucks as yet has revealed
no noticeable decline, but recession
is anticipated soon. With q greater
number of distributing centers report
ing sales on the decrease, q general
recession appears under way. In
cluded in this decline are sales of
buses. The light delivery vehicles are
suffering most and production of this
type will be the first to feel the eff
fects of curtailment.
Conditions In the pneumatic tire In
dustry remain about the same, with
the production decline continuing and
both primary and renewal markets re-
naming subnormal. Inventories Of
dealers stocks are still heavy. Orig
inal equipment orders continue to de-
cline. Increased activity occurred re-
