.URSCHEL SUIT
IS UNFINISHED
Case as to One Defendant
Dismissed; Others to
go to Jury

OKLAHOMA CITY, Sept. 25.
(UP). - Harvey Bailey and 10
other defendants in the 100000
Urschel kidnapping will offer de-
Tense testimony today in the ma
chine gun guarded courtroom
where they are on trial.
Albert Bates, blonde Denver
gangster, is expected to testify
against his fellow defendants I'M
less the three Shannons tell the
truth" about their Texas farm
and the possibility of fugitive
Katherine Kelly surrendering.
The red-haired Mrs. Kelly is the
daughter of Mrs. Ora Shannon,
the only woman on trial in the
! case, and the wife of fugitive
George machine Gum Kelly
who sent death threats to Of
ficials and witnesses. Dead or
alive" rewards of $4,000 and
$4,000 have been posted for the
Kellys.
/ John Roberts, attorney retained
by Mrs. Kelly, for the Shannons,
said he had sent word to her ''to
come in" to bolster the Shannon
defense that Bates and Kelly
forced the Shannons to guard the
captive oil man. District Attor-
ney Herbert X. Hyde said, how
ever, that he had little hope of
Mrs. Kelly surrendeTing.
Government witnesses have
identified Bates as the contact
man between the men the gov
eminent calls the twin cities
! money changers" and the
Shannon farm. If he turns
against the other defendants
Bates can do no great damage to
the cases of all.
Bailey, regarded as the master
mind in the 100000 kidnapping,
planned to testify in defense of
himself and the three Shannons
upon whose farm the oil man
was held.

United Press Financial Editor
NEW YORK, Sept. 25.-(UP).
Gold, that precious metal which
has been boarded and fought for
since written records are avail
able, is again 4 paramount sub
ject of world Importance.
1t has taken on additional sig
nificance in the United States
since President Roosevelt issued
an executive order permitting
gold miners to sell gold at prices
prevailing in world markets.
Previously they were forced to
sell gold to the treasury depart
ment at the price fixed by the
law of January Is, 1S37-S2O.G7
per fine ounce. Now they can
realize a premium over that fig
ure of more than 40 per cent.
Significance of the Roosevelt
order has worldwide scope. FirSo
of all, it is official recognition
Of deprecated dollar. AS gold
rises, the dollar drops in proper
ton. Second, it aids the gold
miners; third, it is a handicap to
the makers of iewelry and other
users Of gold, who now must pay
higher price-something over
$50 per fine ounce, against
S2O.67 previously; fourth, it will
tend to increase gold production,
and thus probably hasten return
to gold standards by the worlds
principal nations.
Americans eagerly watch the
day-to-day quotations on gold set
by the treasury department, fol
they reflect the worlds rating of
all deprecated currencies, of
most interest, our dollar. The
treasury gold price is fixed about
10 cents under the equivalent OF
the London price. When colo
rises, the dollar declines. When
gold is at $20.67 per fine ounce
the gold dollar contains theoret'
icallv 1922 grains Of fine gold
If the gold price should double
the dollar would be worth only
so gold cents and contain 11.Gl
grains of fine gold. Recently the
dollar has been at a discount OF
more than 80 per cent, or at
value under 70 cents in terms OF
gold.
As gold rises and the dollar de-
clines, the. tendency of commod
ity prices is upward. Stocks fol
low, and so do bonds, to certain
limits. A deprecated dollar is {
result of initiation. The United
States has inflated only mod
erately. but its leaving the golt
standard has the same effect ant
the dollar deprecated sharply IL
terms of gold and foreign cur
rencies.
PARALLELS
The course of gold and the
markets is closely paralleled IL
initiation. AS a matter of fact
commodity prices as measured by
the United Press daily commod
ity price index compiled by Dunn
& Bradstreet, Inc, showed but
little change at the beginning OF
September as compared with the
beginning of 1888 when calcu
lated in gold.
Stocks and commodities rose
after the banking holiday ended
because they made up for dollar
depreciation. When the commod,
ity and stock averages, reached
their highs on July IS, gold also
reached it's high. Then gold de,
clined as the dollar recovered
and prices for stocks and com,
modities declined correspond,
ingly.

CONTACT

NEW YORK, July 18 Q.N.S0.
A new communication in the kid
naping of John j. O'Connell, Jr.,
was published today in the classi-
fled advertising section Of the New
York World Telegram. 1t read:
Roma, please get in touch
with me. Manney."
Fred Roma, Albany politician,
and Manney Strewl, also of AL
bany, were included in the third
, list Of intermediates submitted by
the O'Connells to the kidnapers.
New York Searched
Search for young O'Connell
again switched suddenly to New
York today.
In rapid succession picked
squads of detectives searched
five buildings here, two of them
known to have been used by the
Owney Madden gang to handle
beer in pre-legal days.
1O41CS O4A1C1dlS were COLlV1I1CGQ1
they said, that they had been
on a "hot trail" even if the kid
napers had managed to elude
them.
The tip which started the fe-
verish and secret police activity
came to Manhattan headquarters
from Albany late yesterday after
noon and stated that O'Connell
was being held in New York.
Search Failure
The squads worked, all told,
from 1:30 to 5:35 a. m. before
they returned, reported the COM
plete failure of their expedition
and were dismissed.
The tip leading to last nights
raids was the second time since
O'Connell's disappearance that
the search led into New York
Last Friday there was a similar
alarm, when the family was told
to insert lists of proposed inter-
mediaries for negotiation on
ransom in three New York after
noon papers.

EXPOSES.
WAGE RAISES

President william Green, Of
the American Federation Of
Labor, warns the public against
too literal acceptance of stories
of wage increases in certain in
dustries.
Recent wage advances which
have been much publicized have
in too many instances, he said,
represented a very minor frac-
ton Of previous cuts. He cited
in particular some North Caro-
lima textile mills which have ad-
vanced wages S per cent. Pre-
Viously, he said, the workers had
been cut 40 to so per cent, and
they were making now barely 81
q week.
New England millowners pay
$40 to $12, wages still too low,
but making decent living possible,
and these mills are put at a dis
advantage in public opinion by
not advancing their wages as
we'll.
