GRUDGE IS BLAMED
IN TORCH KILLING
Cab Driver Killed by Bullet
and His 0iI-Drenched
Body Set Attire.
BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, July 5.-A grudge, har-
bored during three years in prison, was
one theory upon which police sought
today to solve the Staying of man,
whose oil-drenched body was found
blazing in the Bronx
The body, charred beyond recognition,
was identified by scrap of paper and
police records as that of Henry Brink
man, 80 years old, taxicab driver. He
had been killed by bullet through the
head. The scrap of paper bore the
name of a matron at a moving picture
theater, where Brinkman had torn his
pants. At the theater police learned
from the manager BrinkmanS name
and address.
His police record which included six
arrests and one term in Elmira Prison,
furnished the clue for the grudge theory
and set police looking for a man re-
leased from prison q few days ago as
the possible slayer
Brinkman and several others were ar
rested in January, 1927, in a raid on a
gambling resort. They were discharged
and as they left the court room an al
tercation arose among the defendants.
Brinkman drew knife and cut another
man several times in the face. At
Brinkman's trial for feloniouS assault the
victim refused to identify him and left
the court saying he would take care
of him myself"
Police said the man who had been
stabbed was subsequently sentenced to
three years in prison and was released
recently. They are seeking him.

BILLBOARD SPACE
BEING CURTA|LED
Newspaper and Magazine
Advertising Makes Inroads
on Roadside Ads.
BY J. c. ROYLE.

Many outdoor billboards, which have
been occupied by advertising for years
past, are blank today. Painted-out
spaces on the great boards which
abound along the main highways of
she country have attracted such wide
spread attention as to cause discussion
by Government officials OF the probable
explanation.
The general impression here seems
TO be that the immediate cause is
falling off in such advertising as a re-
suit of the business situation Aside
from the conditions which have affected
nearly all lines of business, however,
various explanations are advanced.
Newspaper and magazine men say the
blank boards are due chiefly to increased
returns from newspaper and magazine
advertising, Radio broadcasting COM
panies claim that more money is being
spent for time on the air.
Billboard People Deny II.
Outdoor advertising people them
selves insist that their business has not
suffered extensively or. permanently.
They assert that they occupy a unique
field and that nothing has occurred TO
make that field less attractive or re-
munerative.
There is no question, however, that
strong opposition to billboards has
sprung up in various sections of the
country owing largely to the desire to
preserve scenic beauty. Some of the
opposition is based by highway authors
ties on the fact that signs are many
times placed at turns in the road, where
motorists should be giving special con-
sideration to their driving. In many
instances, it is argued signs cut off the
view at curves and road intersections.
Some Government officials have taken
the stand in public addresses that COM
plete elimination of commercial adver-
Using signs should be enforced. In adj
dition, many of the States have regula-
tionS which bear upon the outdoor adj
vertising concerns more or less rigidly,
so far as the highway limits are con-
cerned, but, of course, these are not
effective with regard to signs placed on
private property adjoining highways and
rights of way.
Heavy Taxation in Jersey.
In connection with public safety the
American Civic Federation, through its
president, has proposed an amendment
! to the uniform vehicle code which pro-
! VideS that with the constant growth OF
| high speed traffic and with increasing
number of traffic direction signal signs
| and lights, all commercial advertising
! signs along the highways Snould De re-
moved to a distance of at least 500 feet.
| New Jersey has recently put into effect
! law which taxes the outdoor advertiser
| 500 year for license and cents a
square foot for each billboard. The bill
also provides that no billboard can be
erected within 500 feet of any road in
| terSection.
Virginia has prohibited the erection
Of any billboard or advertising structure
outside the corporate limits of cities or
| towns within 200 feet of the intersection
of any two or more public roads, or near
any curve or bend in the public roads.

Chicago Great Western.

Chicago Great Western.
One of the few roads able to make
progress despite the general industrial
depression this year is Chicago Great
Western. The new management has
up the property and in cutting down
the operating ratio. No dividends have
ever been paid on the common stock
OF the present company and none has
been discussed since 1919 on the pre-
ferred, on which the accumulated
charges are 56 per cent as of April l
last
Obviously both issues of these stocks
are purely speculative, but they have an
active market and good sized public
following. The capital structure is
debt against $47,133,002 of preferred
and $45, 2l0,513 of common stock. Bond
interest was earned 173 times in 1929,
earned 1.53 times in 1928 and has been
fully covered in every year since 1928.
Consequently the one large bond issue
outstanding, the general As of 1859, is a
reasonably good investment. The bonds
sell In the open market on basis to
yield better than per cent, but as the
obligation of one of the smaller and
non-dividend paying roads fluctuate
gross fell off in the first four months
of 1880 per cent from the same period
of 1929, net operating income increased
more than 104 per cent, making it the
highest in recent years.
Presumably the first six months will
not make so good showing in view of
declining car loadings, but the road is
in position to take advantage of a
pickup in traffic when Spd If it comes.
In the Interstate Commerce Commits
Sion's plan for railroad consolidation
the Great Western is placed in the sys-
tenn headed by the Santa Fe. The
present management, however, has let
it be understood that it has no inten-
tionS of seeking a merger with any
other road, but hopes and expects to
put the property on paying basis on
its own account.
In 1929 net income was equal to 50 50
per share of preferred and based on
the results to April something like 81
will be earned for the preferred this
year.

In a population of 5.5O0,000 the total

Only two newspapers have acquired

Advertising is extremely limited.
