ShainwaId Calls Permission for Second
Autopsy Victory"

LARCHMONT, N. Y, April 90 (P).-
Ralph L. Shainwald last night hailed
as victory the decision of the Ter
ritorial Supreme Court of Honolulu per-
mitting a second autopsy on the body
of his sister, Mrs. Granville Sewer,
Irvington, N Y, heiress, who died in
Honolulu August 81, 1923.
Shainwald contended his sister had
been poisoned, but an autopsy immedi-
ately after the death failed to reveal
definite evidence. When he asked a
second autopsy, Col. Sewer, her hus-
band, opposed it.
Shainwald said he realized a second
inquest now would be difficult" but
said he desired that it be held. 1t was
made possible by a decision denying
an injunction which would have re-
strained the sheriff from proceeding.

Sir George Beharrell, this years presi-
dent of the Federation of British Indus
tries. although in principle an optimist
himself. warns his countrymen against
believing that prosperity is already
knocking at the door. 1t is rather on
the increase of inquiries from abroad
and on the willingness of countries
such as Argentine, from which England
buys huge quantities of foodstuffs and
raw materials, to offer concessions in
order to secure their hold on British
markets, that the return of confidence
is based.
Cheaper money is already at hand
With the bank rate reduced to 3l2 per
cent and with the hope Of the reduc-
ton in income tax, which now stands
at the scarcely tolerabla basic rate of
5 shillings to a pound. it is felt more
money will soon be available for indus
trial purposes. 1t is not unreasonable
to expect reduction in income tax,
particularly since the British eXchequer
will profit by the revenue from the new
tariffs.
