AMERICA IS HELD
INDUSTRY CENTER
Mecca for Students Seeking
Technical Development,
View of Educators.

America Is seen as the mecca of IN
dustrial and technical development by
Profs. H. w. l.. Bruckman and j. j. r. F..
ThierenS of the Technical University at
Delft, Holland, who are conducting a
group of so of their students on a
three-week investigating tour of some
of the Eastern industrial cities, includ-
ing Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Baltimore,
Schenectady and Niagara Falls.
These professors of electrical en-
gineering, when interviewed at the
Dodge Hotel after visit of inspection
at the Bureau of Standards, were liberal
in their praise of the remarkable
achievements in electrotechnics wit
messed at the Government Bureau. They
believe that America is pointing the
way to standardizations in the electrical
industry which will be of incalculable
value.
DR.. william Van Royen Of the
Netherlands Chamber of Commerce of
New York City, who accompanied the
group, said: Many people have the
mistaken idea that Holland is a strictly
agricultural country and that all in
through farming or fishing. AS a mat
ter of fact" DR.. Van Royen continued,
only rs per cent of the population of
Holland depends upon agriculture, while
Is per cent depend on industry and the
remaining 80 per cent are divided
among the professions, trade and trans
portation."
at is also interesting to note" Prof.
Thierens said, that one of the chief
exports OF Holland is electric bulbs,
which are manufactured at Eindhoven
by the Phillips Co, which, through a
working agreement with General Elec-
trio, serves that portion of Europe and
the rest of the world not touched by
General Electric"
The visitors were received by the
Minister of the Netherlands, Mr.. j. H.
Van Royen, yesterday afternoon Just
before leaving for Pittsburgh.

was done by the simple expedient of
keeping its bill buying rate down to the
level of the open market rate. That
policy established the reserve bank as a
competitor of member banks, dealers
and foreign bankers in the market for
bills at a time when the supply was
limited. The competitive buying nat
urally had the effect of forcing rates
down.

That policy was abruptly changed
this week when the Federal Reserve
Bank stif1y held its buying rate at 3
per cent while open market rates
dropped to as low a level as 212 per
cent, The effect of the reserve policy
was to cause a slight recovery in the
open market. 1t is true that bill hold

that was said to have been due largely
to repurchase agreements entered into

WIFE DEATH HINT
CHARGED TO ARTIST
MarChand Said He Didn't
Care Whether She Lived,
SquaW TeStifies.
By the Associated Press.

BUFFALO, N. Y, March 29.-The
strange talk of the white mans court
stilled yesterday and the Indians trailed
back to their cattaraugus reservation to
muse over law demanding the lives OF
two of their women for murdef
Ii Emerson and Nancy Bowen re-
manned in their cells in the bleak
county jail. They will face the judge
and jury next week to hear once more
the charges and denials that Lila, low
ing a white artist, induced old Nancy
to slay his wife by telling the withered
old Cayuga the white woman was q
witch.
Ann Snow does not like Marchand,
she told the court yesterday, because he
bothered" Lila.
She had heard Marchand say during
visit to the Emerson home. so she
told her Indian interpreter and he told
the court, that the artist mentioned
something about that he didn' care If
his wife didn't live" District Attorney
Guy B. Moore wanted to know why she
had not told him this when he asked
her if Marchand had ever said any,
thing about his wife, and Ann explained
she had only heard Marchand say it to
some one else.
The defense today was weighing the
ACCESSIBILITY of placing Lila on the stand.
Lila is ready to testify if her attorneys
so advise.
Marchand was resting in the county
Jail today following his court ordeal
He branded as false the statement on
the witness stand of Ann Snow that she
had heard him remark he did not care
If his wife didn't live.

DR.. Stopford looked from the window
at a delicate landscape in silver and

Shrubbery from which trees upstarted
like watchful Sentinels, marking the
boundary of the grounds. Between them
he could see the waters of the Sound.
Faint bird notes were audible, together
with the persistent pulsing of a motor
