FIFTH DISTRICT
GAINS NOTED

Business on the whole was ma
terially better in the Fifth Federal
Reserve district in March and
early April than in the correspond
ing period last year, and in some
lines was above seasonal levels in
comparison with other recent
months, according to the monthly
review of the Federal Reserve
Bank of Richmond.
Debts to individual accounts
figures in four weeks ended April
8 show a normal increase of 9.8
per cent over the preceding four
weeks, due chiefly to quarterly
payments of dividends and inter
est on April / and income tax pay
ments on March Is, the review
says.
The Fifth district made better
record in business failures in
March than the total for the
United States, Fifth district insol-
vencieS being ST. per cent fewer in
number and Sill per cent lower in
liabilities than March (1935) in
solvencies, while the nation showed
an increase in both.
Washington building permits
issued during March rose to SIS
at a value Of $2,187, 085 from Alb
valued at $1,668,373 in the same
month of last year. In 81 Fifth
district cities during March, 2,727
permits were issued, compared with
2,136 in March, 1885. Total valu.
alton figures for March, 1886,
amounted to $6,587 POI, against
$3,416,26 in March last year.

A resolution to honor so jurists of
American nations and "all others who
have contributed to the progress of

sphere by creating a consultative sys-
tenn for use if peace is menaced, the
conference assembly added a brief
clause to make the pact effective for
an indeterminate period, but giving

Jongling of .Clo'o Machine
Clock Adds Test to Court Scene

Bailey took off both side plates, leav-
ing the mechanism exposed. Each
juror and the judge himself stopped
and closely inspected the levers and
chains by which Bailey operated the
boom and claw.
The evidence was considered neces-
sary by Assistant United States At
torney John j. Wilson, who is at
tempting to convince the jury that the
machines are gambling devices and
subject to police seizure. He said he
wanted the jury to understand exactly
how they worked.
The trial began yesterday. Detective
Roy E. Blick of the vice squad was
the first witness this morning, tmme-
diately preceding Bailey. Blick told
how claw machines are dressed" the
term applied to the placing of prizes
in the contrivances.
It is the Governments contention
that the prizes can be so placed as to
