Man Who Blamed Wife's
Murder On Negro Paid
White Man To Kill Her

YPsILANTI, Mich, Sept. PA
white man, Fred Roe, who had hired
a man to slug his wife with a lead
pipe and then informed the police
that she had been attacked by a
Negro thug confessed the crime
Friday night and was sentenced to
life in Jackson prison by Judge
George w. Sample in Ann Arbor,
much to the relief of citizens here.
Considerable race feeling was
aroused by Roe's story of his wife's
death, but the police of this city are
not so color conscious and they picked
up suspects black and white. Finally
the police arrested Norvell 0lett,
white, ex-convict who confessed the
husband had hired him to commit the
brutal crime.

Displeased Police
Officer Raps S.
Fine, As To Small
POLICE OFFICER CLAIMS MANS
RACE CAUSED JUDGES
LENIENCY

Police Officer A. Siede, white, of the
st. Paul police department, thinks a
Colored man gets too much leniency
in st Paul courts if his remarks after
a recent traffic court trial may be
considered his sober opinion. Re-
Gently an auto driven by Rev. VIM.
Mahan, of Bethany Baptist church,
struck and seriously injured man
who stepped out in front of the ma
chine in the middle of the block.
Witnesses absolved Rev. Mahan of
any blame in the matter but this did
not satisfy Officer Siede of the st.
Paul Traffic squad who, after arriv-
ing on the scene, investigated circum-
stances and evidently drew his own
conclusions.
Rev. Mahan was charged with hav-
ing poor brakes before Municipal
Judge Clayton Parks. Garage me-
chanics refuted the Police Officers
charge by telling the court that they
had repaired the brakes on Rev.
Mahan's car few days before the
accident. After two hearings before
Judge Parks, Rev. Mahan was as
sessed a small fine of SIS which, evil
IDENTIFY, did not satisfy Officer Siede.
He was heard to remark audibly out
side the court room eff he had been
white man, he would have received
80 days in the workhouse. I'll get
him yet" Evidently this representa-
tive of law and order is of the vim
dictive type and not satisfied with
the courts decision intends to vent
his petty personal spite on Rev. VIM.
Mahan. 1t is doubtful that his supe-
rior officers on the police department
would side with him in such unofficer-
like conduct.

Court Commits
Anderson Aiken
To State Asylum
MAN WHO SHOT OFFICER
COMMITTED TO
ASYLUM

The final chapter in the tragic case
of Anderson Aiken, 3s0S Smelling
Ave-, shell-shocked World War veter-
an, was written last week when Judge
Paul S. Guilford, of the Hennepin
County District Court, committed him
to the state insane asylum at St.
Peter, MINI. Aiken shot and fatally
wounded Patrolman John W. Thomas,
white, early in August when the
police officer with revolver in hand
forced his way into the Aiken home
after he had been called to halt a
petty fracas between Aiken and white
workmen on building project at the
rear of his home.
Home Under Siege
Barricaded in his home with a
large crowd gathered outside Aiken
told relatives that he thought a mob
was after him. After he heard
Thomas remark: "I'll go up and get
that damn n-r," Aiken fired at the
officer as he came up the steps.
After virtual siege, with a large
number of officers headed by Chief of
Police j. Lehmeyer taking part, Aiken
was routed out by tear gas bombs.
Legionnaires and N. A. A. C. p. Aid
Aiken was indicted by a Hennepin
County grand jury for murder in the
first degree Veteran buddies of his
from the American Legion, led by
Martin Brown and Ike Moore, i'm
interested themselves in
the case. The aid of the local N. A.
A. C. P. was sought. After an execu-
tive board meeting called by Miss L.
o. Smith, local president, it was de-
cided to request sanity hearing for
Aiken, when it was brought out that
because of his service overseas he was
a victim of mental ailment.
After hearing before Court Com
missioner Arthur L. Jones, Mr.. Aiken
was declared mentally incompetent
and it was recommended that he be
odged in The institution at st. Peter.

INCREASE IN STEEL
OPERATIONS NOTED
Production Has Reached 10 Per
Cent of Capacity, According
to Trade Journal.
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, February 3.-Despite
Interruptions in steel mill schedules in
some districts occasioned by the shut
down of the plants of the Ford Motor
Co. and suppliers of its automobile
bodies, Iron Age said, steel production
has forged ahead this week to fully 10
per cent Of the national capacity, or
two points above the estimate for last
week
This rise has been brought about
chiefly by sharp upturn in the Chi
cago district, where production is at l8
per cent. against IA per cent a week
ago, and a correspondingly good in
crease in the valleys, where one plant
has stepped up steel-making to fill a
rush order for $4,000 tons of line pipe
and another plant. inactive for some
time, has resumed. There has also
been a moderate step-up in the Birm-
ingham district, where the Ensley rail
mill of the Steel Corporation Is en-
gagged on short run.
Operations both in steel making and
finishing departments have lost ground
at Cleveland and Detroit and have no
more than held their own at Pittsburgh
The Cleveland and Detroit districts are
principally affected by the Ford suspen-
sion and falling of in the volume of
new business from other motor car
manufacturers. The Cleveland rate
has dropped from A to 38 per cent of
capacity"

STOCKS CO LOWER
IN DRAGGY TRADING
Rails, fractions and Gold
Mines Prove Strong
Spots of Day.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February 3.-Although
there were weak sections In the stock
market today and many new low prices
for the year, the general list showed
more resistance and developed several
strong groups.
An early decline in American Tele-
phone & Telegraph below par had de-
pressing effect, which was relieved later
when this stock moved up about
point. The public utilities, iron and
steel. oil and motor shares were inclined
to sag.
On the other hand. there was mild
demonstration of strength in the last
hour in the rails. The shares of the
New York traction companies and those
Of gold mines were strong and active.
The volume of trading was smaller
than previously this week, which may
be evidence of completed liquidation,
for in the first three sessions of the
month the market has had an average
loss that offsets the average gain dur
ing January.
The selling today was partly specu-
lative and partly for long account. It
obviously reflects the succession of dis
couraging dividend announcements
which have developed the belief that
other important corporations may soon
find it necessary to make a downward
revision in their rates. This has given
the bear interests their first oppor-
tunity since last Autumn to extend
their position, which has been con-
tracted to comparatively small figure.
There has also been a certain amount
of what is known as selling against
the box"
The volume of trading continued
about as it has been for several days.
The only increase in activity so far
this year has been at the expense Of
values, for when stocks were steady in
January the daily turnover dropped to
an average of half a million shares a
day From that level it more than
doubled, with prices on the downgrade.
There were disturbing movements in
German dollar bonds and very little
improvement in the domestic low grade
and medium quality issues, with both
the investment and the speculative
markets moving in sympathy with each
other
Among the weakest stocks in the
first two hours, in addition to American
Telephone were Consolidated Gas COM
mon. Public Service of New Jersey
Union Pacific, Atchison and General
Electric and General Motors. both at
new lows for the year, and the mem
bers of the Standard Oil group, still

The market rallied slightly around
midday. when American Telephone

proved correSpondingly. United States

fraction of duplicating its previous low

CUTS IN HARDWARE
: PRICES ARE GENERAL
Wholesalers Report Slight Upturn
in Buying by Retailers After
Annual inventories.
Special Dispa tch to The Star.

Special Dispat tch to The Star.
NEW YORK, February 3-Thc
month just closed proved an interesting
one to the hardware trade. Not that
buying or selling greatly increased their
pace, but because new price announce
ments were both frequent and impor-
tant, Hardware Age says in its market
summary. Some of the recent adjust
ments affected foundation lines OF the
industry.
OF paramount interest among the
price changes have been the general
reduction on nails and wire products.
These are expected to be a material
aid in enabling distributors to meet the
price competition engendered by for
eign-made wire products. which has
been troublesome for some time. Other
downward revisions have lately become
effective on sheet steel, certain types OF
ammunition, electrical appliances,
asphalt shingles and roofing, jack
screws, plumbing goods. and air rifles.
In contrast to the trend of most recent
revisions, prices on electric wiring de-
vices have advanced in an effort to
place quotations on a more profitable
basis.
Slight price adjustments, without
definite effect upon the general market,
are common from day to day in dealings
between certain manufacturers and
wholesalers, and between some whole
salers and their merchant trade. The
tendency is naturally toward liquida-
tion of values, but there is a fair
sprinkling of mark-ups, where preceding
concessions had shown operating losses
on 1882 statements.
Hardware wholesalers have expert
enced the slight upturn of dealer buy
ing expected after inventory, but few
retailers repoted an active consumer de-
mand during January. Most current
orders. it appears, are being placed to
provide an opening backlog of season.
able and staple items for the coming
Spring, rather than to fill up any new
shortages.
