Evanston, H., Oct. 10 P11n- asmuch as William Sutton failed to hit his wife with any of the three shots he fired at her, Mrs. Sutton saw nothing to get excited about.
 Her first reaction was to have him arrested for assault with a deadly weapon, assault with in tent to kill, and attempted mur- der. Neighbors. much annoyed by the roar of the Sutton shot gun, had him arrested. Police found shotgun slugs in the wall, but Mrs. Sutton herself was in tact.
 When the case against Sutton was called before Magistrate Por- ter yesterday. Mrs. Sutton declin- ed to prosecute. If her husband wanted to shoot her, she said, that was his business.
 They departed from the court seemingly very happy.
 The police kept the shotgun.

Sighted by Ships

New York. Oct. 10 P-The vet oran monoplane Columbia pre- sumably was far out to sea today, headed for Croydon, England, on it's second eastward crossing of the At lantic.
 The plane which carried Clarence D. Chamberlin and Charles A. Le- vine from Roosevelt Field to Ger many in 1927, has as its crew Cap tain J. Errol Boyd. Canadian war flier. as pilot, and Lieutenant Harry r. Connor, formerly of the United States navy, as navigator.
 They took off from Harbor Grace, Newfoundland, yesterday at 11:2O a. m., (E. S. T.). At 1910 p. 1n., they St. Johns, N. F., and less than an hour later were sighted 100 miles off the coast by the steam ship Quak- CT City. The liner Lancastria report cd sighting the plane at $40 p. m. about 400 miles due east of Harbor Grace.
 Fog Over Ocean
 Dr. James H. Kimball, weather | bureau meteorologist, said weather reports indicated the f1iers would have following winds for nearly the entire course but that their path would beset by fog and rain squalls.
 Weather reports from Cobh, Irish Free State. said low-hanging clouds along the Irish coast made local fly ing conditions precarious. By their calculations the fliers were due to sight the Irish coast shortly after daylight. They estimated the trip would require "A hours.
 The Columbia. which has had a varied career, at one time held the non-refueling endurance record and the long distance flight record. It is equipped with the same motor and wooden propeller with which Cham berlin and Levine flew to Germany. It carries no radio.
 Boyd is Veteran
 Captain Boyd is a veteran flier. He was the first Canadian to enlist in the Royal flying corps in the World war and was shot down over Hol- land, where he was interned. After the war he returned to Canada and has been engaged in commercial fly ing ever since, spending much time on prospecting and exploration flights over the north country.

 Lieut.. Harry P. Connor, navigator of the Columbia, is U. s. navaI reserve officer with but little air ex- perience, although he is an experi- enced ships navigator.
 The present flight is under Cana dian auspices and started at Mon- treal.

adventurous career
 In bombing raid during the war enemy craft scored a direct hit on Boyd's plane over Zeebrugge. the German naval stronghold. The cyl finders of his engine were punctured during the bombardment and one wing showed five bullet holes. He crashed after a dizzy fall from 12,- 900 feet. but landed just inside the Holland border and tumbled from his plane unhurt.
 Was Commercial Flier Two years ago, as a commercial | f1ier, he cracked up on & New York field soon after a takeoff, and his ship fell three hundred feet. Veteran pilots who hurried to his assistance were amazed when he crawled out of the wreckage without 8 scratch.
 Some time before that, while he was carrying payroll funds by air in Mexico for an American con- pany, he was attacked by bandits from the air and from the ground. His ship was riddled with bullets but he reached his destination un- | harmed.
 | He wasn't always fier. however. | During his career he has been an automobile salesman, manager Of a grocery warehouse, mail and test pilot and operations manager of an airplane company.
 It is not generally known that Captain Boyd is a composer. Twelve years ago New York publishing house sponsored his patriotic song, For Land and Liberty"

several years' experience at sea in the United States navy.
 Last summer Boyd and Connor with Roger Q. Williams made non- stop flight from New York to Ber- muda and return in the Colum bia.
 Before the takeoff Captain Boyd expressed his full confidence in Lieu tenant Connor's ability to direct the plane on a true course by dead reckoning.
 This is proved" he said, "by the fact that on the Bermuda flight, Connor navigated me two hours through heavy rain and low ceiling until, much surprised. I found my self over Hamilton harbor. If we had been one mile off our course we would have passed the island un- seen"
 Makes Hurried Ttakeoff
 The fliers made a hurried takeoff yesterday when fog which had held them earth bound for two weeks cleared. The plane carried 462 gal Ions of gas, the heaviest load ever put aboard d single-m otored plane for a transatlantic flight. It took a run nearly the full length of the A. 900 foot runway to get it into the air.
 The start ended long series of delays which thwarted Boyd and Connors for several weeks in their plans for the flight. Soon after their arrival in Canada, Roger Q. Will Hams attached the plane in legal proceedings to collect money he claimed was owed him by its owner, Charles A. Levine. Then the plane was forced down at Charlottetown, Price Edward Island, by bad weath- CT.
 Boyd and Connor arrived at Har- bor Grace two weeks ago and await ed for favorable weather.

The plane is veteran. It was built five years ago and has flown the Atlantic once before and made the round trip from New York to Bermuda nonstop with the present crew and Roger Q. Williams aboard. It has broken two worlds records and won all races in its class at the national air competition in 1926.
 The Columbia, with Clarence Chamberlin and Charles A. Levine aboard as passenger, hopped off from Roosevelt field for nonstop flight to Germany. The ship flew F hours and covered an estimated distance of 4,500 miles. On the di- rect line it went 3,911 miles, a worlds distance record for two years. Levine subsequently, flew the plane around Europe. After a crash in Italy it was shipped back to America and reconditioned.

Sighted Off Ireland

Croydon, England Oct. 10 P-An airplane believed to be the Colum- bia. in which Capt. Errol Boyd anl Lieut.. Harry Connor are crossing the Atlantic toward England, was re- ported to have been sighted by the steamer Virgilia at 2:39 p. m. today (9:39 a. m. F. S. T.) approximately 200 miles west of the Cornish coast.
 The plane was flying low in an easterly direction.
 Weather conditions apparently have been favorable for the trana- atlantic flight and the fliers' veteran airplane has been speeding eastward without difficulty.
 Charles A. Levine, who used the same ship in going from New York to Germany in 1927, flew from Paris to Croydon today to greet the air men upon their arrival.
 The Virgilia reported that the plane bore the number TAO"

RICHMOND, Va, June 14.-Idle
millions are lying in the vaults of the

These millions are unemployed, for the

The total earning assets of the
Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond are
$40. $500 against S62. .238, 900 last year
at this time, according to the weekly

The statement shows some change in
the nature of the banks earning assets.

purchased show but slight change.
The reserve ratio is 1858 against
77.05 last week and 59.49 one year ago.
Reserve deposits of member banks
amount to S62,987,000. The sum OF

Lack of Demand Results in

.neciaI nisnatch to The star.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, June 14.-StockS sagged
in quiet trading in today's week end
market. There were only few out
standing instances of weakness and
there were a few individual issues to
move against the trend, but for the
most part the list worked lower, not
so much because of pressure as be-
cause of lack Of demand.
How far the passage of the tariff
bill by the Senate was an influence 1t
was difficult to say. Here and there
an individual price fiuctuation could be
ascribed to this development as, for
example, the advance in international
Cement, the commodity in which that
company deals being one of those on
which a much higher duty is placed.
On the whole, however, there was little
talk of the tariff.
Metal Price Reduction.
Perhaps an exception should be made
of the selling in the coppers. Paris
cables to the effect that European re-
sentiment against Americas higher
tariff would result in an agreement on
the part of foreign corporations to place
their buying orders for copper else
where than in the United States prob
ably brought liquidation into the cop
per stocks here. The offering by smaller
smelters of metal at II cents a pound
and the reduction in the export price
to 1885 cents from 13 cents affected
the market fully as much again.
Anaconda broke to a new low for the
year. Calumet S5 Arizona sIumped more
than 6 points. American Smelling &
Refining sold at the lowest for 1880
and other metal shares were in supply.
International Telephone S Telegraph
displayed weakness, dipping under its
previous minimum price for the year.
This was seemingly in reflection OF
the decline in the first quartet net, when
81 cents was earned for the stock
against 80 cents in the first three
months of 1929.
Oils and Rails.
Standard stocks started off higher OF
unchanged but the improvement was
not held and in the second hour prac-
ticaliy all of them were selling under
their previous close That was the case
with United States Steel, General Elec-
tric and Standard Oil of New Jersey
The utilities made good showing at
the opening, but they, too, lost theil
gains in later dealings. Probably the
oils did as well as anything else. Trans

nouncement of the proposed taking over
of the company by Ohio Oil.

speeial Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 14.-Msny factors

lates it will not be allowed to remain
idle. More and more of it viii find its

Continuance Of unusually low rates on

favorable to the bond market, the re-
view says.
