SOME DEMOCRATS
 NOT SATISFIED

Washington. May 9.-UPD.-In- surgent democrats of the senate finance committee labored today on . compromise designed to change drastically the administrations pro- posed tax on undistributed corporate earnings without entirely abandon ing the fundamental philosophy of the se03.OO0.0O revenue bill. The committee uprising against the gleeply graduated levy intended 10 force corporations t0 divide earn ings in taxable dividends appeared [, be steadily gathering strength, encouraged from republican sources by Senator James COuzeas' strong Announcement of the measure. Ad- mlttedly certain m0dlflcati0ns will be made and informal conference ihls week -end of democratic committee members opposing the corporate sure plus tax probably will disclose the ancuracy 0f c0uzenS' assertion that "a large number" are in favor et re- writing that proposal.

sensational mail robbery and hot bond cases in tho history of this ofiice."
 As MorrIsey outlined 1t the trail was picked up on March 2 when John Mcbride, q relief workers, was arrested for passing a $i00 Liberty bond which it developed later had been stolen In mall robbery at Clara City, MInn. Tho clues were faint but with the police of tho four cities working in close cooperation tho form of the gang began to take shape
 It was alleged that Jack Scgar, 34, alleged "brains" of the gang, came to Denver in 1881 and in some man. ncr obtained a set of railroad "switch keys" and keys to flt post office mall bags. He then returned to St. Paul and recruited gang composed fO John Edwards, 26, Winston Walker, 30. and Harold Bailey, 20.
 Edwards is in custody here. He was arrested In SC. Paul and is said to have taken the name Edwards" to shield the fact that he is the black sheep of a respected Denver family. Walker was arrested at Denison, Ia,, and Bailey at Park Rapids, Minn. All were atkcn Into custody during March and April with Segar who k held at St. Paul.
 Tho gang operated by spotting small towns where mall is left in railroad stations overnight, secured in bags by switch locks." They ex- perienced difficulty, however, in dis- posing of the loot and Edwards came to Denver where he had high connections"
 His negotiations, Morrisey said, led to deal whereby by some man. ner the bonds reached Arnold who allegedly saw that they were cashed.
 Others under arrest and also charged with conspiracy are: Oth- clio c. Mcclellan, %, automobile salesman; Ralph A. Clifton, 48. ra- dio salesman; Harold P. Kennedy. aaid by Morriscy to be an ex-convict and Elmer r. Trower, 48, former re- lief worker.

Brann In personal communication the body of 7-year-old Mary Proulx was found under like circumstances here Tuesday.
 This Maine countrywide had beer aroused as never before in recent years by the crimes that were SC similar that all clues pointed to . single killer.

New York, May o-(UP)-Trad- ing continued dull on the stock ex- change today, rounding out the smallest week since July 6, 1885. Prices gained fractions to more than 2 points.
 A better feeling was noted after an irregularly higher opening, but traders continued cautious on rue mors some untoward development might occur over the weekend with regard to the French franc. French bonds broke sharply, the govern ment 2 l-2's losing 10 points. The franc, however, was steady because of aid supplied by the British and American controls.
 General Motors was the favorite on the stock market. It had a gain of more than a point. Other motors followed higher. Sustained demand for new automobiles was considered encouraging for the general market as well as motor shares. It was con- sidered particularly advantageous to steel issues whose companies sup ply large amounts of steel for the Automobile industry.
 Steel shares were lifted a point or so under lead of U. s. Steel and Bethlehem. National was up nearly Q point.

 Very Solemn Gathering

BACK-TO.FARM MOVEMENT IS ON

Washington, May 0--(UP)--A back -to-the farm movement, shown dn census figures which revealed an increase of farms of almost 10 per per cent between 1880 and 1885 was attributed today to the iln- pact of the depression upon the American way of life.
 The statistics, showing 6,8i2,350 farms in lD36 compared with 0,288,- 048 in l030, revealed that much Of the increase has been in areas near large cities, further evidence that the increase is due to city dwellers trekking back to the farm"
 Western farm belt states, such as North Dakota, Kansas, and Ncbras- ka, showed comparatively slight in- creases. while the only decreases were found in the number of farms an Georgia and Mississippi.
 Observers pointed to substantial increases in number of farms in New England and Middle Atlantic states as further evidence of the movement.
 Most notable increase was in Connecticut. where the number of farms jumped nearly 100 per cent in the five year period, from 17,l06 tn l030 to 32.i67 in l036.
