nv RAIDER WlNGET.

NEW YORK, July 29.-An increase
of nearly IL per cent in corporation
profits Is indicated in reports for the
first half of this year, compared with
the same period Of 1884.
The rate Of gain Is larger for the
entire six months against last year
than the indicated increase shown by
selected corporations during the sec
ond quarter of this year compared
with the first three months.
The 10 per cent advance was made
by ITO companies In q w'dely diversi-
fed classification of organizations
which reported profits and losses for
the half year during the last two
weeks.

Aggregate earnings were $358,977,-
470 this year compared with 1920
974.330 during the first six months
of 1884.
Although there are To comparable
figures for previous years for exactly
the same list Of companies, income
analysts declare the total probably
is the best since 1881. That result
has been shown in reports of selected
firms whose previous reports are avail
able.
Not all corporations we're on the
profit side Of the ledger for the 1885
months, and there were many which
suffered a reduction in profits this
year because Of increased expenses.
Some turned losses Of LIST year into
gains this year; there also were many
which slid into the red from large
black statements of 1884.
About go per cent of reporting con-
Germs presented more profitable in

and the other 40 per cent lost ground
in comparison with last year.
Smaller Firms Lead.
Greatest percentage gains were
made by smaller corporations. whose
advances in some cases went into the
thousands, so high on a percentage
basis that they we're meaningless.
No definite trend FOX all corpora
lions with a large capitalization was
established by the survey, the results
being highly mixed.
On the basis of favorable income
reports for 1885 so far, analysts of
the economic scene have. for the most
part, been optimistic Cl earnings of

Strasbure, O., Nov. l8--(UP)- Doors of the worlds biggest coun- try store"-it did a $l,000,000 an. nual business in a village of l,200- were closed today. A black-bordered card on the door told the story c. A. Carver, one of the founders, was dead. Carver, 70, died after an operation. He was the senior partner in Carver Brothers, oc- cupying e three-story brick build. ing almost a block long. It is known throughout the country as the worlds largest rural mercan- tile establishment.
 Inspiration for the huge store came to Carver when, at IA, he went to Cleveland alone to buy hardware for his fathers store. He dreamed that he could transform his fathers place remodeled sl1eepfold--into something like the more pretentious emporiums he yis- tied in the city. Outstanding fea- ture which attracted customers was Q free lunch served daily. It was instituted after a farm woman came to town and could find no place to eat except six saloons.

WOULD INDICT
 DEFENSE LAWYER

Aix-En- Province, France, Nov. i8, --(UP).-A motion for indictment of defense counsel was made today by the general advocate shortly af- ter the opening in Assizes court of the trial of three members of the Oustachi gang of Croatian political terrorists.
 Maitre Georges Lesbons, French lawyer, retained by Pittsburgh Croats to defend three of their countrymen charged with complic- fly in the assassination of King Alexander of Jugoslavia and For. eign Minister Louis Barthou Of France in Q MarSeilles street on Oct. g.. 1884. was the object of the mos ton.
 The general advocate demanded Desbons indictment for contempt of court after he had objected for the second time to the interpreter be- fl :; used in the case.
 After an hours deliberation the court found that Desbons' protests had been injurious to conduct ot the trial and decided to reprimand him.
 It appeared unlikely, however that Milipovitch, the second inter- preter against whom Desbons pro- tested, would be replaced.
