ANN ARBoR, Mich, May 11.-w.
w. Cumberland, New York investment
banker, predicted Saturday night a
business recession during the third
quarter Of 1895, followed by resump-
tion of an upward trend regardless OF
the outcome Of the presidential elec-
ton.
He told $50 delegates to the Eighth
Annual Alumni Conference Of the
University OF Michigan School OF
Business Administration that business
appeared to have sufficient momentum
to carry forward In the immediate
future.
Business in the United States Is In
better balance than at any time since
1926" the speaker said. Few indus.
tries Of importance are in the boom
phase; few are seriously depressed.
Advances are resultants Of widespread
improvement. rather than of un-
healthy booins in few situations,
neutralized or counter-balanced by
lack of improvement or even by re-
cession on the part Of other indus
tries
Inventories have dwindled to the
lowest point in q decade, he contin-
ued, and consumption during the last
year has far outstripped production,
IN spite Of greater industrial activity.

APARTMENT

The Administration, in its ex-
panding of Governmental activi-
ties, is reported today to be dick
ering" for q lease on Cathedral
Mansions, South, on upper Con-
necticut Avenue, to house the grow
ing Social Security Board.
Acquisition of the large apart
ment property to house the en-
ployes of the board, which are
expected to number about 5000
next year, would force several hun
bred families, including those of
professional men, Army and Navy
officers, and many Government
workers to find new quarters in
a city already suffering an acute
apartment shortage.
Officials of the board declined
to confirm or deny the reports.
They did say, however, negotia-
tions are under way to obtain
larger quarters than those now
occupied in the old Labor Depart
ment Building, in the 100 block
of G st. N. w.

L. Harold Sothron, of the law
firm of Quinter & Sothron, which

Police Roundup Strikes at ThieVery
Murderer
Refused
Life

Irene M. Anderson, colored muir
derer, today lost a court battle
here to be given a life sentence
rather than 20 years in prison.
The woman who had pleaded
guilty to second degree murder,
was given a straight sentence of
20 years.
Through her attorney, James J.
Laughlin, she sought to have this
changed to a life sentence, so she
might be paroled in Is years
under the terms of the indetermi-
nate sentence act of 1884.
But in refusing the plea, the
court today held that since life
is indeterminate, the section
which which provides life term
prisoner shall be eligible for pa
role in is years is void.
