talk with Kohr and perhaps take
him back for trial.
"TO My Horror"
In his amazing confession to
Sergeant Murphy Saturday night,
Kohr said:
Henry had . job at Peter
Kirscher's saloon in Belleville.
I wanted him to quit it, and
we Quarreled. I struck him over
the head with a stick. and to
my horror, discovered 1 had
killed him. / threw his body
down a cistern."
Yesteray Sheriff Sickmann
thumbed through the ancient
records, musty with the years,
but discovered that the papers
for that many years ago had
either been misplaced or de-
Stroyed. So the sheriff went
among the old-time residents of
Belleville.
He found Alex Schlesinger, a
grocer, and Joseph L. Bux, an
undertaken. He spoke with them
of Henry Kohr. Bux said:
"Sure, 1 remember. 1 was on
that cOrOner'S jury. So was
Alex. The other four Of the
Jurors are dead now"

HIS CONFESSION
OF Staying
EASES MIND

CHICAGO, Nov. 80 Q.N.SO.
While authorities today pondered
on how to handle the strange case,
Charles Kohr. "a, faced the world
for the first time In IS years with
his head up.
He had branded himself a MUIR
derer and shattered his place Of
respect in the community, but
Kohr was satisfied. He had re-
gained a measure Of self esteem
and found peace that he had not
known since he was a young man.
The police thought he was crazy
when this quiet, grey little man
walked into the station and con-
fessed killing his younger brother
in their home town of Belleville,
ILL.,, back in 1901.
Body In Cistern
But a checkup yesterday proved
that Henry Kohr, who was is at
the time, had disappeared one
April morning and his body not
found until 10 months later in q
cistern.
That was where Charles said he
had dumped it after knocking the
boy over the head with a stick Of
wood. They had fought, he said,
over Henry'S working in saloon
and thus disgracing the family.
A coroner's jury decided that
Henry had accidentally fallen in
the ciStern. There was no SuSpl-
cion of murder and Charles after q
time came to Chicago. For the
past 10 years he has been a file
clerk in a downtown department
store.
Memories Of two elderly men at
Belleville were invoked to bolster
Kohr's confession. They are the
only two surviving members of the
coroner's jury which investigated
the death of Henry, whose body
was found in a ciStern in Febru-
airy of 1902, nine months after
the boy disappeared.
AS a result of their stories to
Sheriff Henry Siekmann at Belle
vile, the sheriff was inclined to
believe Kohr's confession that the
accidental drowning" Of his
brother was in reality a case Of
murder murder which comes to
light after 35 years.
A warrant was obtained by Louis
Zerwock, of st. Clair county, in
which Belleville is located and Po-
lice Chief Thomas Lonnie, OF
Belleville, planned to send repre-
sentative to Chicago today to

BUSINESS INCREASES
indianapolis Life Firm Has
Gain of $551,O21.

The Indianapolis Life Insurance
Co., a legal reserve mutual firm or
ganized in 1906, today reported an
increase in insurance in force of
$3.50 for the first quarter of the
current year, compared with a gain
of only $92, 1895 in the corresponding
1885 period.
Total insurance in force March
81 amounted to $96,307,2 79. The ra-
ito of business renewing was GAIT
per cent during the period, COM
pared with 91.05 per cent in the
same period year ago.
Mortality rate continued favor
able, the ratio being only 46 per
cent of the expected, against At
per cent for the first quarter last
year. There also was evident an
increase in the buying of new life
insurance particularly among GER
tain groups of people, the report
stated.
Executives and owners of bust
ness lead in volume of new insur-
ance applied for in the company,
the report said. A large number of
policies on children for educational
purpose, thrift and protection, SIM
liar to adult policy plans are also
being written. Many more farmers
now are buying insurance than in
1884 and 1885, the report revealed.

SAFETY MARGIN
SPURS DEMAND
FOR RAIL LIENS
Bond List Is Scrutinized for
Neglected Issues on
Market.
BY CHARLES II. HUFF
Times Special Writer

NEW YORK, April 90. - The
swing of additional railroads into
the fixed charge coverage class, in
reflection of improved traffic and
revenues since the turn of the year.
has been one of the chief causes
of concentrating the bond markets
major speculative interest in the
second grade carrier group.
The score card is being kept up
to date most scrupulously and its
periodic changes are held directly
responsible for the obvious selec-
tivity characterizing market move
mentS in that section of the bond
list.
For long time after evidences
of railroad recovery became ines
capable, second grade rail bonds
moved forward on a broad and rel
atively indiscriminate front. Gen.
eral improvement in traffic returns
was being discounted.
Divergence in Attitude
When the medium bracket had
covered considerable ground in it's
advance, speculative a item ion
swerved TO lower priced bonds and
even almost hopeless issues of bank
rupt carriers shared in some of the
overflow enthusiasm.
In contrast with that sweeping
forward movement for all categories
of rail securities, recent weeks have
disclosed increasingly a divergence
of speculative attitude, concrete re-
suits already attained being substi-
tuted for blanket optimism for rail-
road outlook as a whole. Test on
this basis convinced speculative fac
tons that some issues had scared
too far while others had not fully
discounted the pace of improvement.
The result has been an irregular
market, but one tending toward
more firmly established footing.
A year ago the list of railroads
covering fixed charges was painfully
small. 1t is not yet exactly graft
flying compilation, but it has some
notable additions as compared with
the early months. of last year.
Improved Roads Listed
Among roads that have moved
into the select group, by virtue of
recent recovery, are the Southern;
the Nickel Plate; Texas and Pacific;
Chicago, Burlington e. Quincy;
Gulf, Mobile and Northern, and the
Alabama Great Southern. The
Nickel Plate had only little ground
to gain, but the Southern was down
to 81 per cent coverage year ago.
The Texas and Pacific has moved up
from 81 to ITO per cent.
The relatively narrow gains in
gross revenue required by some of
the roads to cross the line become
emphasized by results thus far tab
ulated. An increase of II per cent
in gross enabled the Alabama Great
Southern to move from Is to 100 per
cent coverage of fixed charges.
The Burlington changed from 30
to 1913 per cent coverage by swelling
gross by little less than 10 per
cent. Roads with topheavy debt
structures, however, reveal strikingly
contrary results. Numerous carriers
which have gained from 20 to 80 per
cent in gross still fail to cover fixed
charges.

Utah, Washington and Wisconsin
Thus 80 states have thus far failed
to act.
However, in many of such states
unemployment insurance laws are
pending before the Legislatures.
But as the New Deal encounters
more and more enemies, the OPP
ponents Of these laws grow holder.
TINE states can pass any sort of
Il law they wish. The state law
must conform TO few very simple
standards. But the states may fix
the amount of unemployment pay
ments and length of time of pay
ment.
AS things stand in the laws thus
far adopted, the unemployment
benefits to be paid workers will be
one-hali their normal wages, but
not to exceed SIS week.
In the event of unemployment
the person thrown out of job will
get from 13 to 16 weeks in any one
year, depending on the state. But
unemployment insurance will not
start right away. The man thrown
out of work must wait for two weeks
in. some states, for four weeks in
Others, for six weeks in others be-
fore his benefit payments begin.
He has to carry the first two to six
weeks of unemployment himself.
MOREOVER, the laws apply
Iva only to those who work for
the employers of eight persons or
more.
Almost all authorities on unem-
ployment insurance feel the act
has grave effects. But little or
nothing can be done about them,
because no benefit payments will
be due under the act for another
10 months. Meantime large fund
and system are being built up on
one foundation so that it will be
difficult to change it.
But this is another measure
which must be passed upon by the
Supreme Court. The tax provisions
in the bill are held by opponents
OF social security to be unconstitu-
tional, while many of the greatest
supporters of social security fear
the charge is correct. Until the
court has passed on the case, little
real progress can be hoped for.

BITTER DISPUTE
LOOMS AMONG
LABOR GROUPS
Type of Union Organization
in Steel Industry Is
Vital Point.
By United Press

| By United Press
WASHINGTON, April 23.-Pros-
pect for head-on collision over
rival plans for union organization
of the mighty steel industry ap-
peared today.
The dispute may be fought out in
the convention of the Amalgamated
Association of Iron, Steel and Tin
Workers at Canonsburg, Pa, next
week.
This was indicated in an an
nouncement by the committee for
industrial organization, headed by
John L. Lewis, that an invitation
for 100000 steel organizing drive
had been extended directly TO the
Amalgamated Union.
Consideration Is Promised
The announcement said Michael
Tiche, president of the amalga-
mated, had promised the proposal
would receive immediate considera-
ton by his directors and probably
would be brought to the floor of the
convention.
The Lewis proposal was made
originally to William Green, presi-
dent of the American Federation of
Labor which for some time has been
contemplating steel drive.
Lewis and Green, together with
large segments of organized labor,
are at odds over the question of in
dustrial versus craft unions. Lewis
supports the industrial type of or
ganiZation. The A. F. of l.. tradi-
tionally has favored craft organiza-
ton.
Bitter Dispute Certain
If the proposed 100000 steel or
ganization drive reaches the Anal
gamated convention floor a bitter
dispute is considered certain.
The Lewis committee emphasized
this split in announcing it's invita-
ton had now been presented direct
to the Amalgamated. Previously it
had been sent to Green, but ito avoid
further delays and disappointments,"
said the committee, it was sent di-
rect to the union involved.
Our committee has at no time
challenged the claims of your or
ganization to complete industrial
Jurisdiction" the letter said.
In contrast it pointed to the re-
fusal of A. o. Wharton, president
of the International Association of
MachinistS, to join in support of a
drive to unionize the steel industry.
Conditions Set Forth
Two conditions were set forth as
contingent to the drive. These
were:
Assurance that all steel workers
have the right to remain united in
one industrial union, with the
jurisdiction of the steel union pro-
tected against claims of craft
unions.
Representation of unions contrib
uting to the drive in the direction
of the movement which should be
placed in the hands of a response
BILE and energetic" leader.
The committee said it would be
expected the union convention
would clear the way for The CAM
paign by action that will give the
organizing committee a reasonably
free hand in regard to taking in in
dependent and company unions as
body, keeping limitations anG dues
low enough to meet the require
ments of mass campaign and in
other similar respects"
