CONDEMNED GIRL
 SLAYER WILL DIE
Gerald Thompson Found Ghastly Pale as
 Verdict is Given

Peoria, H., Aug. 1.-CUP)- Gerald Thompson, 25, sadistic killer doomed to the electric chair, was surrounded in his cell today by guards fearful he might be lynch ed or commit suicide. Members of mobs that booed and hissed the condemned youth in court threat ened openly to execute their own verdict returned last night.
 Thompson's jailors reported that he had been made sullenly morose by the. sentence, which he called unjust.
 His Face Grew Pale
 The young murderer of Mildred Hallmark, 19-year-old cafe hostess. heard the jury of middle aged tradesmen and farmers sentence him to death calmly, but his face grew ghastly pale. Even when news of the verdict was shouted through courthouse windows and 2,000 persons outside screamed ap- proval Thompson preserved the the trial.
 Sheriff Marcus Olson was so concerned by the mob's savagery. that he slipped Thompson back to jail through a seldom used tunnel while 12 deputies distracted the crowd with a show of clearing path across the street.
 The jury reached it's verdict in less than four hours. The plea of Ren Thurman, appointed by the court as defense counsel, that Thompson was a sexual mono maniac had no effect.
 Confessed to Crime
 Thompson confessed that he killed Miss Hallmark in lustful attack in his automobile, parked in a lonely cemetery. A diary found after his arrest revealed that he had attacked 16 other girls in seven years and attempted to force himself on 67 others.
 He was obsessed by women. three of his friends testified, and had even gone to the extreme of taking wrestling lessons solely for the purpose of subduing girls more easily. Some of his victims he forced to pose nude while he pho- ltographed them in lights of his au- tomobile to insure their silence.
 Defense witnesses attempted to bolster his plea of insanity by tes- timony that both his father and a younger brother. held in a cell ad- joining Gerald's for a sex crime, were sexually abnormal.
 Miss Hallmark was killed, ac- cordlng to medical testimony. by e blow Thompson struck with his fisi while she fought to prevent him from stripping her of clothes. She was raped while unconscious and her nude body dumped In a ravine Thompson was connected with fhe crime by tip from one of his pre-. vious victims.

BY WALLACE CARROLL Copyright, 195, by United Press)

Geneva, August 1-CUP)-Italy refused today to accept Franco British compromise proposal to aver war in Ethiopia and work out a settlement of the dispute.
 Consequently, the session of the council scheduled for today was postponed until tomorrow so that another plan could be drawn up which might prove satisfactory
 The atmosphere was none too hopeful, but Premier Pierre Laval of France and Captain Anthony Eden of Great Britain were de- termined to spare no effort to find a solution.
 The French delegation officially denied a report circulated by the Reuter- and Exchange Telegraph News Agencies, which said Laval had telephoned to Premier Benito Mussolini, appealing to him to show spirit of conciliation.
 Geneva, August - (UP) - Great Britain and France, united once more in face of a threatened world crisis, worked urgently to-

The statement was timed, 1t wak believed, deliberately to strengthelf the hand of the British goverIa- ment in efforts being made today at the League of Nations council meeting at Geneva to evolve A peaceful solution.
 It coincided with demand by Sir Herbert Samuel, British liberal leader, for a stronger stand for peace by the British authorities.

an ambitious parent. No one
knows; there have been violinists
that have lived q long and useful
life and at the end have confessed
that there was much more for
them to learn. To what stage Of
proficiency this mother wishes her
daughter to attain is obscure. If
she Is satisfied with the ability to
play hymns, popular songs or old
favorite songs (Which Is about as
far as the average get), we should
say that two years should suffice
if the beginner practices faith
fully an hour a day.
If a beginner lacks a sense Of
rhythm and true musical pitch,
the ordeal would be much longer,
perhaps indefinite. In this case 1t
would be better to try an >instru-
ment that gives true pitch. AS all
the string and woodward instru-
ments may be played out Of pitch
by beginner, this leaves only the
piano. But seldom does anyone
without a sense Of rhythm and
pitch have sufficient interest to
! put in the necessary time and
work to learn to play the piano in
a satisfactory manner.
Then the question arises as to
the value of the piano even in
giving correct pitch when it is
realized that at least half Of the
pianos in the average American
home today are fearfully out OF
tune and if in tune are much be.
low the standard concert pitch
This last condition is due to the
neglect of many piano tuners
When they find piano that has
become low in pitch, they seldom
bring it up to A-440, but tune it
to the pitch they found it in. Ere
quently we have seen pianos that
were just tuned and were a whole
tone below the proper pitch.
To return to the violin, how
ever, it must be remembered that
the amount Of time spent in prac-
tice and the interest ability of the
pupil are all"important in attaining
a high state Of proficiency. Most
parents seem to cherish a secret
hope that a child may become an.

SWINE VALUES
TURN UNEVEN
Market Steady to 10 Cents
Lower; Receipts Drop
Sharply.

With only $500 hogs on hand at
the indianapolis Union Stockyards
today the pork market, however, re-
manned steady to 10 cents lower than
yesterdays best average. The eX-
tremely light run, especially for a
weekday session, was attributed TO
the usual seasonal decrease which
is to be expected at this time of
the year.
Local demand continued fairly
strong, but extreme weakness was
reported in the East. Packers in
that section recently announced that
there is practically no demand for
fresh pork due to the current high
prices.
The bulk, 100 to 275 pounds,
cashed in at SO .60 to $685., while few
better grades were reported selling
at 1890. Hogs weighing ITS pounds
and upward brought $945 to $3.50
Light grades, scaling 100 to 16C
pounds, sold at 1918 to $685. Light
lights, from 100 to 1870 pounds, were
salable at $3.50 to $500. Holdovers
were IT'S.
With trading somewhat lighter in
the cattle market practically all
classes, including steers, heifers and
COWS. remained unchanged at the
previous close. Bulk of steers and
heifers held under $3.50, while COWS
sold at SIS to ST. Receipts num-
bered 700, including 200 stocker and
feeder classes. VealerS remained
steady, salable at SO down. Re-
ceipts we're 700.
Trading developed slow in lambs
and the market was around steady
to 25 cents lower. Bulk of ewes and
wether classes sold at 1915 down.
Few better kinds brought SO. Year
ling classes held mostly at $3.50.
Slaughter sheep cashed in at So
down. Receipts were 600.

FOREIGN TRADE
HELD TOO SLOW
BY ECONOMIST
United States Must Make
Up Its Mind to invest
Abroad, 1t Is Stated.
BY A. L. JACKSON
Editor. Economic Statistics, Inc.

NEW YORK, June 13.-1he for
eign trade figures for April revealed
the fact that this country had an
unfavorable balance of trade for the
first time since August, 1888 April
imports exceeded exports by s6,200,-
900. At present this fact is only a
minor consideration, but it indicates
that underlying economic forces are
at work. Sooner or later we will
be forced to realize that large
creditor nation can not alone enjoy
a favorable balance of trade and re-
fuse to export capital
We can not have our cake and eat
it too. In view of the fact that any
significant expectation of capital is
unlikely, due to governmental re-
striction and the unpOpularity of
foreign bonds in this country, it is
only a matter of time until an I'M
favorable balance Of trade becomes
a regular occurrence in the United
States.
