STATE RESTS CASE
AGAINST DR.. ANDRE
Sudden Action in Staying Trial

BY the Associated Press.
RENO. New. December 1s.-After
building up a purely circumstantial case
against Or. Carl Pierre Andre, West
Virginia dentist, charged with the mur-
der of Martha Hutchinson, his former
sweetheart, the State suddenly rested
To-Day and the defense took UP the task
OF attempting to convince q District
Court jury the death Of the young
widow was due to an ordinary automo-
bile accident.
A motion that the jury be instructed
TO BRING IN a verdict of acquittal vas
denied by Judge Thomas E. Moran.
The crowded court room was disap-
pointed. Many had anticipated that
the prosecution, before concluding, pos
sibly might call Morrey Gracchi, former
manager of Cornelius Vanderbilt, IRIS,

Mayor ROLAND B. Marvin today
called upon approximately 5000 of the
elected city officials and salaried city
employees, including teachers, to take
voluntarily, a 10 per cent reduction in
salary for 1882. At the same time he
announced that he himself was VOL

The city, he said, faces a deficit of

 It was known that he started for Chitina on the third of January but did not put in his appearance and no trace of him could be found. An investigation of the river indicated that he possibly fell thru the ice but as this did not seem probable his friends cOntinu- cd a search.
 A snow storm came day or two after his disappearance and had 50 completely covered up the body that it could not be seen from the bridge. His friends felt sure that he was dead after he had been missing for a few days but finding the body has removed all feeling of uncertainty
 The body was taken to Chitina where it was buried on February '.

just the same, whether the taxes

Of q family finds his expenses
exceeding his income, he must

Either increase his income or

Operating at Deficits
The United States, during the
last fiscal year, has been operat-
ing at a deficit of something
around $900,O0,00O. France is
running $S6,220,0o0; Germany,
$297, 100000; Italy, $75,060, 900;
United Kingdom, 1928, 900;
Austria. $371 ,O7O,O00 in arrears,
while only the smaller countries,
headed by Spain, which has a
surplus of $4,435, 900 are within
their budget.
Worldwide depression has, un-
questionably, increased these de-
ficits, but political causes long
existing are now beginning to
share the spotlight as being
large contributors to this condi-
tion. While Great Britain has a
deficit, she is spending at the
same time $3.50, 100000 a year
on unemployment insurance, as
we'll as $465, 100000 for arma-
mentS.
Although not following Bri-
tain'S policy on unemployment
insurance, other European coun-
tries are spending unusually large
sums for defense purposes. Yet
they are borrowing continually,
large sums wherever obtainable
rather than reduce their budgets
according to their financial status.

Buying For Christmas
Those in a favorable position
are making purchases now for
use as presents during the Christ
mas season, while others are lay
ing in a supply of high grade
clothing at low prices for future
use.
There has been considerable
disparity between wholesale and
retail prices during the depres.
sion. The rate of decline of the
former has been much greater
than those to the consumer. How
ever, within the last few weeks
1t is believed the proportion of
decline in retail and wholesale
prices inclined to the consumers
advantage.
Government experts pointed
out that while many merchants
are sacrificing their goods at
little or no profit, they are paw.
ing the way for better times and
that considerable extra money is
getting into circulation through
this means.
More Jobs Likely
The results of this program
should be reflected in some in.
crease in employment at the de-
partment stores. with the natural
result that these gains will be
passed on to the wholesaler and
producer.
There are indications that the
same situation may be applying
to the purchase of raw materials.
The big producers have been
holding off on purchase of the
materials they require for many
months, buying only in a degree
that win suffice the production
they have in view for the imme-
diate future.
