FOUR STATES WORK
 AGAINST DRY LAWS
Anti Prohibition Sentiment Grows Apace in Middle West
By the United Press.

By the United Press.
 Prohibition occupied the attention Of four state governments in the po- liticallv "dry' middle west today.
 In Illinois the dry raid killing Of Mrs. Lillian De King of Aurora aroused widespread indignation over enforcement methods. Two assaults on the prohibition laws were made Tn the legislature, one for legis- lative investigation of the killing, the ether a resolution challenging he right of congress to control the sale, possession and distribution of medi- cinal liquor and sacramental wines within the state. There was also a move to repeal the state dry law. Michigan modified it's famous life for pint law with amend
 ments which passed the legislature | late yesterday and were before the governor today, who is certain tc l sign them since they were proposed | by his department.
 From Missouri came reports of the l first legislative move in that state
 towards modifying the prohibition laws, bill being introduced in the house of representatives to repeal the McCawley act Of 1923. which
 embraces nearly all of the state s liquor laws.
 Wisconsin was preparing 10 hold a statewide referendum on April on a proposal to repeal the state prohi- bition law. At the same time reso- lutions were pending in the general assembly asking congress to conduct a national referendum on modified

CONGRESS WATCHES
 STOCK GYMNASTICS
Price Fluctuations and Effect On
 Public Are SCruinizd

Washington, March 29 P1Con- gressional leaders are closely watch ing the fluctuations Of the stock market and their effect on the pub lie.
 Senator Glass, of Virginia. a for mer democratic secretary of the treasury. has advanced a proposal that the federal reserve board dis miss Charles E. Mitchell. president of the National City bank. as class "A" director in the board for sup plying money to the stock market this week when coal loans were boosted to 20 per cent.
 Senator King, democrat. Utah, is preparing a blll to authorize the federal reserve banks to forbid loans to be used in marginal trading op- erations on the stock exchanges.
 However. there is a general dis position at the Capitol to leave the situation. for the present at least. in the hands of the federal reserve l. the constant growth of loans by member banks to brokers and deai- CTS,
 Chairman Norbeck of the senate banking committee declared today that he would leave things to the federal reserve board for the pres- ent."
 At the last session the senate adopted a resolution asking the fed eral reserve board if it desired any Legislative assistance in it's effort to curb the increased use of reserve funds for speculative purposes. The board replied that it did not now deem any legislation necessary.
 Senator Glass, however, has beer working for more than a year on q bill which would give the board wider powers in making loans. The great stumbling block in the way of legislation. it is agreed. is a legis- latiye distinction between specula- ton and investment.
 While Senator King intends to introduce his bill on the opening day of the forthcoming extra ses- sion of congress leaders have little expectation of pressing for legisia- ton of this character at this time. Senator King would also authorize reserve board banks to demand in- creased interest rates on loans for purely speculative purposes, and would prohibit the use of the mails for the circulation of stock market matter

TEXT 0F JACKSON MURDER NOTES
 IS MADE PUBLIC.
(Continled from First Page)

Yesterday all order from Judge court was secured by Pice's counsel and the notes were surrendered by the coroner. An effort 10 make pub lie the contents was unavailable as King agreed to hold the letters con- fidential until the time of the trial.
 The notes left by Mrs. Jackson were found in her stocking when her body was taken to an undertakers, brought sudden turn to the climax of the murder. With Rice in jail in- dicted for the staying the case had apparently been closed until the trial when Mrs. Jackson was found dead in her home, several minutes after returning from her husbands in- quest. A verdict of suicide was glv- en and at the same time two notes were found on her person which the coroner took. One of the notes. it was stated at the time, contained a statement that she assumed respon- sibility for the crime.
 Relatives Claim Rap"
 Relatives and friends of Rice who came to his assistance declared he was taking the rap for d woman. It was several days after his indict- ment that Mrs. Jackson killed her self, leaving the teIl-tale notes.
 Coroner Bill after releasing the notes expressed the opinion that he did not think Judge Yeomans had the authority 10 make him turn over the letters. He said he would have the matter threshcd out when the writ is returnable in May. On the other hand, State Attorney Bradford who up until yesterday had been adamant in refusing to have the let ters pass out of the coroner's hands, stated that Rices attorneys were free to do what they wanted with the notes.
 He said he was not certain wheth- CT or not he would contest the ac- | ton of Judge Ieomans but added that Coroner Bill if he chooses has this authority. Mir. Bradford said as far as he knew Judge Yeomans or der established legal precedent in Connecticut.
 Mr Bradford revealed that Rice S trial will not commence before April ! 16 in order to dispose of the socall- ed Mazzola case upon which Jackson was working at the time he Was | murdered,

INDUSTRY CHANGES
 IN NEW ENGLAND
Council to Make Thrd Survey ol
 Migration Movement

Boston, March 29-The New Eng land council for the third successive year will make survey of the mil grafton Of industry as it affects New England. Chairman John F. Tinsley of the councils committee on com- munity development announced to- day. MT. Tinsley is vice president and general manager of the Cromp- ton & Knowles Loom Works. Wor- cester.
 The council has conducted such surveys for 1926 and 1927, and is now making a similar canvass cover- ing 1928 through all the chambers of commerce and boards of trade throughout the six New England states.
 Lack of definite knowledge con- corning the movement of industry within, to. and from New England prior to 1928 permitted the impress sion both in New England and other sections of the country that New England was losing industrially." Mir. Tinsley said. The impression was strengthened by the fact that the loss of few outsta nding indus tries was unduly advertised.
 Tn 1927. the New England coun- cil's committee on community de- velopment undertook the first sur vey ever made to determine the ex- tent of migration of industry in New England. This study. for the year 1926, showed a net gain for New England. after subtracting indus. tries which suspends operations or moved to other localities. of 224 in- dustries and 10.998 employees. Twenty three industries came from other sections to New England, while only eight moved away from New England.
 "The study was repeated for 1927 this time showing net gain of 26G industries and 7,5S7 employees These figures are based on reports from 266 communities with an az. gregate population of 5.43S.229. or 70 per cent of the total population of New England, and Ss per cen, of the urban population. Ever, community with population over 100000. every community over 25.. 900 except one, with . population of under 30.000. and every com. munity with a population over 10.. GOO and under 25,000 except four were included in the survey" TrSs bers of the council committee or community development are: w Scott Libbey. treasurer of the W. s Libbey O., Lewiston. Me; Arthur E. Moreau. mayor of Manchester N. H.; Leo F. Wilson. vice presi. dent and treasurer. w. B. Fonda Co.,, St. Albans. Vt: Edward P Goslin, general manager. Newpor, Electric Corp. Newport. R. l.: and C. l..

Socialist Leader Addresses Flor.
 ida SatSmmship Forum

Winter Park, Fla, March ,s OP- Norman Thomas. socialist candidate for president last year. addressing the institute of statemanship here today. pointed to "a vast need for 6 new political party" and declared the logical method of or ganizing it is through the com- mon action of labor and farm or ganizations and the socialist parts
 The institute is in session here under the auspices of Rollins Coli lege to discuss the general topic 'the future of party government in the United States" MT. Thomas with Albert Shaw. editor of Review of Reviews and others spoke on lis . distinctly liberal party possible ln tine United States?"
 II can ste no justification what ever for the claims of some demo- crats that theirs is a party of at least potential liberalism" MT. Thomas said. The outstanding re- suit of Al Smiths campaign was definitely to scrap even the tradition . al opposition from the democratic party to the high protective tariff.
 There is only one thing left and that is to build up party which as 1t grows in strength will attract progressives out of both of the old parties and force a coalition of the conservative elements in both Of them. The job will not be easy. It is not hopeless. There is an sstonishingly widespread interest in . pew party and an almost universal agreement that there is no substan tal difference between the old parties"

 "Hc didn't go near there. but kept on driving all night. begged him to take me home. and all day yes- terday he kept telling me we were only a short distance away. He drove all the first night. but I slept some. Every once in a while he would leave me in the car some- where and go and get some food. We ate in the car.
 When he kept on driving last night he didn't hurt me. but l was scared. I didn't know where we were going. He drove into the city and he went to the telegraph once. Then we drove out by the side of a road in the country and slept .n the automobile.
 When we started out this morn- ing he told me we would De back home soon."

 II didn't harm her and had no intention of doing it," he said. "I sobered up and discovered l was lost but knew I was quite a dis tance from Philadelphia.
 Then I realized. as we had been gone several hours. that police had probably been told she was kidnapped and l would get into trouble if I went back. l thought of telephoning the police and tell ing them to come and get me.
 After a little consideration, was afraid that wouldn't do me any good and ] became panic stricken and started south. I intended to go to Ilorida-I don't know why. Every mile 1 went was against my better judgment, but fear kept me going I knew it was only ques- ton of time before l got caught.
 I'm glad it's over with. I'll 50 back to Philadelphia willingly"
