HARRISBURG, Pa, January 81
The ice-filled SuSquehanna River and
the uncommunicative lips of Harry
Bowman, perfume salesman, today
withheld proof Of the disappearance OF
Miss Verna Klink.
Investigators concluded that the river
was more likely to yield evidence first,
and plans were made for dynamiting
the stream.
Bowman, under arrest, spoke only to
repeat his story Of a suicide pact; that

with the comment "Oh, what's the use. -
May Lodge Robbery Charge.
Unable to produce the body to sup
port charge of murder against the
salesman, as they had planned, the
police thought of making a charge of
highway robbery to balk possible habeas
corpus proceedings. This charge would
be based upon statements that Bowman
took about $1,000 from Miss Klink.
Examination Of Bowman revealed
marks which the police said were prob
ably inflicted by Miss Klink in the
course OF struggle to prevent him
from taking the money.
Miss Ethel Miller, friend of Bowman,
broke her silence to tell police that the
salesman had come to her room after
midnight last Saturday wet from the
waist down. He explained that he had
been robbed and pushed into. the river.
Girl Held on Bond.
Miss Miller is held under $500 bail
for carrying concealed deadly weapon.
Upon her, Bowman told the authorities,
he spent large part of the money OBJ
tanned from Miss Klink.

husband speak of Miss Klink and was

Marines Greet Party.
Not far away lay the U. s. S. Roches-

Maryland began booming a 2l-gun ma

the rail. The guns of the cruisers also
spoke in tribute to the American
President-elect.
Two launches were lowered by the
great cranes of the battleship and were
loaded with Secret Service men, corre-
spondents and photographers. AS the
boats headed for the dock they passed
a launch from the Rochester bearing
naval officers. and American Minister
Eberhardt to the Maryland. Mr.. Hoover
had planned to come ashore about II
o'clock and in the meantime there
were important arrangements to dis

Mr.. Hoover learned that President
Adolfo DiaZ and former President Cha
MORO had arrived in Corinto from
Managua by special train on the day
previous. On the same train had come
Brig Gen. Frank r. Mccoy, lately
chairman of the Nicaraguan Electoral
Commission; Brig. Gen. Logan Feland,
u. S. M. c., and Minister Eberhardt.
Gen. Jose M. Moncada, President-elect,
had been in Corinto for two days.
The first persons to greet the landing
party were American Marines, with
faces grinning beneath coats of healthy
tan. Only few other persons were
on the dock at the early hour, but there
was considerable activity evident on the
streets ahead.
Statue Of Liberty Provided.
Near the entrance to the dock native
carpenters were putting the finishing
touches on tall framework resembling
a pedestal. Gilt-colored cheesecloth
was being tackled around 1t. Inquiry

The correspondent, unwilling to be-

the goodwill mission. advised the
stranger to take up the matter of an
interview with MIR. Hoover with the
proper diplomatic authorities. The man
thanked the correspondent for his adj

the surprise and qualification of car

estimates are worked out for Is differ

the drift of business affairs has pointed

loadings
Yet I have Just returned from the
California meeting, where the estimates
were made for Pacific Coast traffic"
said M. j. Gormley, head of the car
service division of the American Rail-
way Association, land the shippers
there compiled an estimate that the
total loadings in their territory for the
ifirst quarter of 1880 would exceed 1929
Allegheny regional estimate, which in
cludes Pittsburgh territory, which cahs
Tor 40 per cent more carloadings dul-
ing the coming quarter than during the
same period last year, and the complla-
ton of estimates in the Southeast In

"Of course, this is only part ol
the whole national territory, and we
have yet to hear from the balance OF
the country. But the outlook is rep
resented as surprisingly good. For in
stance, on the Pacific Coast, in spite
of the talk of decreased automobile
business, shippers there place their CAL
loading requirements at 81 per cent
more than for the same quarter OF
1929. The balance of the gain is due
to agricultural product increases. These
studies are made in advance primarily
for railroad operating reasons, so that
car supply and movement can be
prepared for, but they are getting into
great demand for use as guides to bust
ness planning In every direction"

Continuous alteration in American

Sometimes, too, the facts are a little

las recently as 1917, when war and
national control of food distribution
made it possible to survey the situation,
it was calculated that probably only one
third of American sugar consumption
was in commercial FORM" remarked r.
L. Purdon, sugar specialist for the
Commerce Department. THAT is, about
this proportion of national intake of
sugar went into factory-produced candy,
into canned goods, CONNECTIONS and the
like. The balance, about two-thirds of
the whole, went into consumption
through the home kitchen.
Now, however, it is trade impress
sion that the proportion is changing.
The relative increase in city popula-
lions. and the tendency toward fiat
dwelling, is deemed to have modified
consumptive habits, though the facts
are hard to prove, and to have mate
rally increased the proportion of sugar
that is commercially utilized on the way
to consumption
That is one of category of COM
mercial facts that may get some more
genoa development next year, through
the Federal distribution census. Plans
for that novel enterprise call for the
most complete study of commercial
sales and their character that has ever
been made.
