CRAWFORD PLEA MADE.
Colored Attorney Enters Motion in Be
half of Virginia Man.

LEESBURG, Va. October 81 (P).-
A motion to quash the indictments
against George Crawford, colored, in
the Ilsley-Buckner murder cases, was
filed here today by Charles H. Hous-
ton, colored attorney Of Washington,
on the ground that negroes were un-
lawfully excluded from the grand jury.
Crawford is expected to be brought
to Virginia tomorrow by the Loudoun
County sheriff. The United States
Supreme Court recently ruled that he
should be returned after Federal Judge
Lowell of Massachusetts, had granted
him habeas corpus on the ground that
Negroes did not serve on juries in
Virginia.
Accompanying the motion to quash
was an amdavit signed by Houston as
serting he had investigated and found
that there were numerous Negro tax
payers eligible for the grand jury list.

the total amount taken out OF the earth
from the discovery of America to the
dawn Of the twentieth century. The
outlook for the future, 1t Is pointed out,
is highly speculative, since it Is not pos
sible to predict new discoveries of gold
bearing ore nor the increased efficiency
Of new processes.
Such predictions. it is pointed out by
Scott Turner, director of the Bureau Of
Mines, usually are greatly Influenced by
the calculations Of DR.. H. Prov, Gov
ernment mining engineer Of the Union
OF South Africa, now the greatest gold
producer. He estimates that by 1850
the gold output Of that country will
have fallen to about one-fourth of what
it Is at present. Most other countries
anticipate greatly reduced production

world had poor showing in actual
gold production.
During the period from 1893 to 1880
there was produced In the entire world
only approximately 4030, ,944 ounces
of the precious metal. These were the
days of individual prospecting and hand
mining. Then new fields were discov-
cred and machine production gained
momentum. During the next 10 years
the production was 81 ,280,1 184 ounces.
From 1891 to 1900 the decade produc-
tion almost doubled to 10l l,647 ,52l
ounces. It almost doubled again-to
1872 ,891 ,525-during the next decade.
From 1911 to 1920 was the true golden
age up to the present, with total Of
206, 6,114,773 ounces. From 1920 to 1880
there was a slight drop to 186,091 ,278
ounces. But with world production
of "a 600, 900 ounces in 1882 and IT,
$4,000 ounces thus far in 1888, the
present decade promises to eclipse
The United States now is running a
poor third among the gold-producing
nations of the world. South Africa is
far in the lead in 1888 with 1925, 900
ounces Canada comes second with
2,208,O0 ounces. The U. s. production
from January to September amounted
ton is estimated at ], ,440, 900 ounces.
Mexico Falls Behind.
All the rest of the world suffers badly
in comparison. Mexico and Northern
South America, once the source of the
greatest gold supply, have contributed
only 740,000 ounces. Australia's pro-
duction has been only 100000.

New York, Jan 7.--After serious diglocations, the pre.boom relation. ship between security and conn modity prices gradually is being res stored on level about 70 per cent Of that prevailing at the end of 1927. Frazier Jelko and company point in the firms January invest
 ment survey. Return Of an office balance in tho domestic price struc-
 ture is regarded aB ono Of the hopeful signs Of economic recovery at the beginning of the new year. Prices Of common stocks rose substantially above the average level Of commodities in the 1928. 1929 inhau0n and remained out Of line until the middle of 1891, the firms study shows. Not until carly last year did stocks become reIa. lively cheaper tbnn most staples, however, and by July equities had declined t0 q level definitely below commodities. The summer rally reversed the trend too rapidly, lift- ing the stock index once more above commodities.

"That there has been Q change in tho value of money, or in tho eom- modity price of gold, in the past five years, no ono questions. Thus, there has been change In the general price level.

 "Freduently we have mistaken the consequenees of thls eommod. fly price tide for the operations Of the law of supply and demand, Ac. tually, the dlslocations caused by it have reduced the buying power throughout the world and caused supplies to accumulate before pro. duction could be adjusted to new conditions.
