riage, and Mrs. Grace Dill, of
Fredericktown Ohio, her mother
in-law, for alleged alienation of
the affections of her husband,

verdict.
Senator Dill, who left for Wash
ington, D. c., before the jury of
eight women and four men
reached the verdict, indicated
prior to his departure he would
appeal any adverse verdict.
When the first verdict for the
same sum was brought in, Judge
Phillip wilkins refused to accept
it, holding the jury had failed
to state adequate reasons for in
Guiding Senator Dill in the judg-
ment.
1t returned a second time with a
statement that Senator Dill had
advised his nephew against fur
Their marital relations because it
would interfere with the educa-
tional and financial career of Wen

erickton, near here. They were
married two years ago. The plain
tiff is a stenographer in local

URGES
INVESTMENTS
IN MEXICO

Pleading with foreign investors
mot to be frightened" over Next
can social reforms, Mexican Am
bassador Francisco Castillo Najera,
addressing the Academy of World
Economics yesterday, declared:
1--WE need capital. We are
still going through the semi.
colonial stage. We have practL
calIy no industry and our ex-
pOrtatiOnS of raw materials are
most of the time confined to
one or two products"
The Ambassador said 1000 mil
lion dollars of U. S. money is now
invested in Mexican mining, smelt.
ing and petroleum.
In denial that the Mexican gov.
eminent opposes further foreign
investment, he quoted from a
speech of President Lazaro Car.
denas in 1885, in which the presi.
dent asserted:
Foreign capital will be vel
come, provided it recognizes the
economic rights of the workers
and does not seek special priv.
ilegeS such as are not accorded
Mexican capital"
Najera was joined by Cuban
Ambassador Guillermo Patterson
y de Jauregui in visioning an eco
nomic transformation of the west
ern hemisphere through increased
inter-American investment and
trade.
Patterson said:
"The necessity of consuming
American products is very pro-
nounced in Cuba. The United
States would only have to in
crease its imports of Cuban
products to see direct, proper.
tiOnate and immediate muItipli.
cation of its exports of Ameri.
can products to the islands,"

it was announced by A. E. Dun
can, chairman of the board. A
registration statement is expected
to be filed with the Securities
and Exchange Commission early
next week. Mr.. Duncan stated:
"The proposed financing is a
continuation of the program be-
gun last year by which, in keep
ing with the financial condition
of the company, we have sub
stantially reduced annual pre-
ferred dividend charges and
have simplified .Our capital
structure. Upon completion of
the present step the preferred
and common stocks will pro-
vide a larger proportion of
the total funds employed in
handling the present volume Of
business. Last year, when an
opportunity was given to the
holders of the then outstanding
preferred stocks to continue an
investment in the company, 80
per cent of the stock was so
exchanged. This years offer
will also provide an OppOrtun-
ity for the preferred stOckhOld-
erS to continue an investment
in the company"

He Has Been Urged BY
Leading Republicans To File
For Important Office

Mike Holm, Secretary of State,
announced Monday that he con-
templates filing as a candidate for
United States Senator on the Re

that he has led the state ticket in
every election for several years, a
numbr of leading Republicanse

nection Mr.. Holm made the follow
ing statement;
Il feel that I should make a
statement relative to reports that
I am considering becoming a can
didate for nomination on the re-
publican ticket for the office of
United States senator.
''It is true that have been urg-
ed very earnestly by many people,
and by a number of organizations
to become a candidate. Apprecia-
ting fully, not only the responsib-
ilities of that office but also the
great opportunity for service that
it offers, am giving the sugges-

Observations from
Washington
BY Congressman Harold KnutsOn
"The Presidents Message"

The PreSl0enCS McSSaSe
Both Houses of Congress con-
vened Friday noon and after dis
posing of several routine matters
took a recess until evening when
both Houses met in joint session to
hear President Roosevelt deliver
his annual message"
In the time that I have been in
Congress this is the second time
that a President has asked for the
privilege of delivering his message
in the evening, the other time be-
ing when President Woodrow Will
son appeared before the House at
a night session and asked Congress
to declare war on Germany.
Strictly speaking, Mr.. Roosevelt's
message was not message in that
it contained not a single recommen-
dation. Rather, 1t was a skilfully
worded political speech-one of the
best that I have ever heard. He
baited those who are opposed to
his policies and defied them to
state which Of his measures they
would repeal. would not go so far
as some of my colleagues and say
that the speech was demagogic but
I will say that it was not worthy
of the occasion, Notwithstanding
it's finespun phrases, uttered in
melodious tones. The Presidents
speech was carried to 189 radio sta
lions in this country and by short
wave to other lands. It Is safe to
say that one hundred million heard
it.
This promises to be busy ses-
sion and I take little stock in the
claims of the leaders that we will
be out of here by May. My guess is
that they will be blowing corn back
home before the 74th Congress
comes to it's end.
The first important measure to
come up will be the World war
veterans bonus bill. The leaders OF
the American Legion, Veterans of
Foreign Wars, and Disabled Amer
lean Veterans have agreed upon a
compromise which will be rushed
through Congress without delay.
After that will come the neutrality
bill and here is where there will be
considerable differenc Of opinion.
The President would like to have
