Ransom Unpaid, Family Is Haunted by
Wordless Questions.

OKLAHOMA CITY, July 20 (P.-
Sphinx-like the house of Charles F.
Urschel awaits his return.
But behind the serene facade of the
mansion from which the oil millionaire
was snatched by machine gunners a
week ago tonight his family and friends
are haunted by wordless questions as
they await in suspense the unfolding of
the heartless drama of abduction.
The second act-the ransom demand
has not yet been reached. although
seven weary days of published promises
Of prompt payment and retribution re-
nounced have passed.
Still confident the drama will close
with the return of Urschel unharmed,
Arthur Seeligson, spokesman for the
family, said Eve realize we must await
the convenience of the kidnapers."
Urschel was kidnapped during bridge
game with his wife and their friends,
Mr. and Mrs. Walter Jarrett. Jarrett
also was taken, but was soon released.
In an effort to promote his safe re-
turn, all forces Of the law have been
withdrawn from around the mansion, as
have newsmen and photographers.

FAILURES DECLINE
GAINS MOMENTUM
Sharp Drop Suggests BE-
movaI of Many Dangers
for Business.
BY BERNARD S. OHARA,
Ascociated Press Financial Writer

NEW YORK, August 28.-Statistics
on business defaults indicate that the
bankruptcy mill has been grinding at
a much slower rate during these last
several months The figures also sug-
gest the removal of some of the shoals
on which many commercial and indus
last three years.
The curve on business inSolvencies,
downward since early in the year, has
slanted at a noticeably sharper angle
since general business started its climb
out of the depression in April, and from
this invers6 performance the keepers
of the statistics on business nfortalitieS
have concluded that the upturn was the
means Of reSuScitatlon for many en-
terpriSes which otherwise might have
foundered.
How sharply has been the downward
trend in failures is well Illustrated by
DunS insolvency index, which. for the
first three weeks OF August, stood at
885, compared with 90.4 for July, 995
for June and 1894 for January. For
August last year the index was 164 6.
For the last three months the index
has remained below 100, which is not
far out of line with the fiVe-year ay
erage covering the years 1925-29. The
comparison with the same period year
ago is strikingly favorable. as the index
figures it. for the reason that business
at that time was suffering acutely and
cumulatively from the economic disor-
derS of the two preceding years.
The peak month for business troubles
was in January, 1882, when the index
