VISIT
GRADE SITE
IN DISPUTE

TAKOMA PARK, Nd, April IS.
rive United States Senators,
members Of the District Of Co
lurabia subcommittee ON appro-
prlations, inspected the proposed
elimination of the Chestnut Street
grade crossing here, which item
was recently eliminated from the
District appropriations bill In the
House, and which sponsors OF
the project are now seeking to
have restored in the bill.
The members Of the committee
who inspected the site were Sena-
tor Bingham of Connecticut,
chairman of the subcommittee:
Senator Phipps Of Colorado, Serla-
tor Nye Of North Dakota, Senator
Capper Of Kansas and Senator
Kendrick Of Wyoming.
An Impressed
They were accompanied on
their inspection trip by ]. Bond
Smith of Takoma Park, general
counsel of the Maryland National
Capital Park and Planning Com.
mission, and Irving c. Root, chief
engineer Of that body. Root
stated after the conference that
Ill Of the Senators appeared to be
favorably impressed with the
project and that as a result of
this inspection he was more hope
full than ever before that the
appropriation Of $211,00O will be
restored.
The Senators also appeared, 1t
was said, to favor the plan for
the elimination as prepared by
Root, which would provide for a
highway extension into Montgom-
cry county from the National
Capital.
House Opposed
The project already has been
recommended by the District Of
Columbia Commissioners and the
Budget Bureau, but when 1t
reached the House Appropriations
Committee the subcommittee
eliminated it on the ground that
it was not of sufficient import
ance to the District and that its
principal benefit would be to the
taxpayers Of Maryland.

SAYS: st can truthfully say that
the very first dose Of Miller's
Herb Extract (formerly called
Herb Juice), made my stomach
feel better and every day after
that I improved right along. Only
4 few weeks ago I was unable to
sleep or rest at, night; now I
never wake until morning. MY
trouble was all due to a badly
upset stomach and often I was
unable to keep down the food I
had eaten, I would have weak
dizzy spells and was often in so
much pain that rest was impos-
sible. This trouble upset my
nerves, had pains all through
my body and was continually
taking a strong laxative as I was
always conStipated. When friends
told me how this medicine had
helped them I could not believe
It was so, as I had tried so many
different things without feeling
any better. AS bad as my con-
dition had seemed the first dose
Of Miller's Herb Extract, helped

Westbrook, Feb. 3.-The frozen body of an unidentified youth his wrists crossed and tied tightly with q handkerchief, was found hanging from tree in the heavily wooded Horse Hill district of this town yes terday.

 Despite the lack of any marks of violence police say there were sev- eral indications that death may not that held the body was of smaller diameter and not strong enough to hold the body fo' any long peuod Of time. The body was resting partial ly against the trunk of the tree and the right foot rested fally on the about the feet and one Of them lay partly on the left toe. The left leg was bent slightly.
 Rppc Probably Stretched
 Coroner Iowndcs A. Smith said the rope was not tight enough to cause StranGulation. The appear ancc of the face. however, indicated straneulation and there was a slight discoloration under the knot The weather. according to the coroner, may have caused the rope to stretch. The pile of rocks may have been used as a step to kick away when the moose frightened.
 The hands lay crossed under the chest and the handkerchief used was tight about the wrists. The coroner said it was possible that the youth tied the knot and that the tightncss of the bands when found is due to weather conditions. The hands were bluish indicating that he may have tried to escape from the grasp of the handkerchief.
 No identifying marks were found, every label on the clothing having been cut or torn away. There was no band in the hat and no initial on the belt buckle. The pockets were empty but there was a gold clasp on the shirt collar.

NEW YORK COTTON.

NEW YORK, March 8 Objection
was extremely nervous and unsettled
again today, with prices making an
other set OF new low records for the
season under a continuation of the re-
cent selling movement. Covering and
trade buying caused moderate b,Iloes
from time to time during the morning,
but it was not until May had declined
TO 14OS, or % points net lower, that it
became active enough to make much
impression on the market. May closed
at 1920, or Is points Up from the low
est, with the general market closing
very steady at net declines of 8 to II
points.
The opening was steady at Q decline
OF to 10 points under overnight SELL
ing orders, which appeared to have
neen brought IN by the break of yes
terday. Liverpool cables were relatively
steady, but houses with both Liverpool
and continental connections were
credited with selling here, and after
some rregularity the market weakened
under renewal of liquidation. Before
the decline was more than momentarily
checked, March had sold of to 1895, or
10 points net lower, while later deliveries
showed net declines of about Of to 80
points, with July selling at 14.22 and
the old October contract at 1895. The

STOCKS IRREGULAR
IN PROFIT TAKING
Recovery Slows Up at Short
Session as Selling
Appears.
ny STANLEY w. PRENoSII.,
Associated Press FinanJAeI Editor.

NEW YORK, March S.-The recov-
cry in stock prices during the past
week. which has lifted the general in
dex of 80 issues TO the highest level
since the November break, showed signs
OF slowing up in todays brief session
of the market under the weight of
heavy profit-taking and occasional
short selling.
Scores of issues were marked up
to points in today's early trading,
and j. I. Case ran up more than IA
points, but the gains were cut down
by realizing and a rather long list of
issues sold / to 3 points below yester-
days final quotations.
Easing credit conditions and expec-
tations of an early recovery in general
business, expressed by President Hoo
yer after yesterdays cabinet meeting,
provided the background for the adj
vance. Weekly mercantile reviews
continued to stress irregularity in the
business and trade situation.
Business Reports.
The days business reports contained
q larger proportion of unfavorable fac
tors. Directors of the Coca-Cola Inter-
national Corporation increased the
annual dividends from So to $12, but
Grigsby Grlnow directors omitted the
usual SO cents quarterly payment due
at this time. The Timken Roller Bear
ing Co. showed slightly larger earnings
for 1929 than the year before, but the
Barnet Leather and Homestake Mining
Companies made unfavorable COMPARE
sons with the previous year.
Peoples Gas ran up points 70
1881, Eastman Kodak 5A to 224A,
International Cement 4 to 66Ss, Gen.
eral Refractories ga to 70, Interna-
tional Business Machines to 1873, Pa
cific Gas & Electric 3 to SO. Pierce OIL
preferred to 81 and Vanadium Steel
2 to rs, all new tops for the year, but
not all of the gains were maintained.
Merger rumorS stimulated the de-
inand for some of the independent steel
shares, Bethlehem crossing los to q
new high, while Gulf States and Mich
tgan Steels advanced more than 2
points each.
Losses Recorded.
