RECEIVER TO FILE
MIDAMERICA SUIT
Official for Van Sweringen Estate
Demands His Right to Pur-

CLEVELAND, April 81. Paul
thompson, receiver for the partner
ship estate of the late o. P. and M. ].
Van SWeringen, announced late YES
terday he had served formal demand
on George A. Ball and George A.
Tomlinson that they protect his
right to purchase controlling interest
in Midamerica Corp. through exercise
of purchase option they gave the
Van Sweringens at the time Midamer-
lea was organized.
This demand, Thompson said, was
a preliminary to filing of a suit by him
within the next week for a court order
directing Ball and TomlinSon to sell
to him control of Midamerica under
terms of the option.
Thompson is a ourt-appointed re-
celver to protect the interests of cred
itors of the Van SWeringen partner
ship. Among these creditors are the
llquldators of the Union Trust Co. and
Guardian Trust Co. the Midland Bank
of Cleveland and New York banks
with whom the Van Sweringens dealt
in their financial operations.
This development came on the heels
of reports here and in New York that
Ball, who owns 80 per cent of Mid
america, was negotiating for sale of
the top holding corporation of the
Van Sweringen railroad empire which
he and Tomlinson formed after buying
at auction control of the Van SWer-
ingen enterprises in September, 1885.

CANCER SPEEDED
BY CONCEALMENT.
Specialist Says Fear of Dis.
grace Is Hampering
Fight on Disease.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
SEATTLE. April 3-Concealment of
cancer symptoms by victims who fear
disgrace" is hampering the fight
against that disease, DR.. Bowman C.
CroWell, Chicago specialist, said in an
address prepared for delivery at a
public health meeting last night.
Naturally cancer occupies a large
part Of the attention Of our organiza-
ton because it causes the death
of about 10000 people year in this
country alone" DR.. Crowell said. That
means about 100000 people in the
United States have cancer today.
Cure Held Possible.
This is an appalling figure, and
much larger than it need be, for much
cancer can be prevented and cancer
is durable if treated in the early stage.
Your family doctor can tell you
how, if you ask him"
DR.. CroWell said cancer is not con-
tagious" and mot directly hereditary,
although evidence is accommodating
plldl a pl LoEooASAoAA w sAAN SAi7IoAoS
may be inherited
"It is no disgrace to have cancer" !"
he added. There are many people
who have delayed seeking treatment
for the disease and have concealed
symptoms which might be indicated,
with the belief that it is a disgrace
to have cancer.
Early Investigation.
He said skin abrasions, oW-healing
sores, prolonged indigestion and un-
usual discharges should be investlgat-
ed by competent doctors, as pro
longed irritation frequently leads to
cancer"
Cancer always starts as lump or
an ulcer" he added, land it is while
cancer is in one spot, before it has
spread to surrounding tissues. or
through the lymphatics or the blood,
that cancer is most susceptible to
c,lre
Surgery, X-rays and radium are
the recognized methods of treatment
and a surgical procedure may
completely eliminate cancer of the
breast in its early stage"
CroWell was principal speaker at
health meeting sponsored by Of
ficers and fellows of the American
College of Surgeons holding a district
convention here.

Hauptmann Case
Still Closed Year
after Execution,
BY the Associated Press,

oS lLc hSSOClhJeQ FTeSS.
TRENTON, N. j., April "a stethe-
scoped doctor stepped back from
Bruno Richard Hauptmann a year
ago tonight and said: This man is
dead The ensuing year has pro-
duced nothing official to challenge
the justice of the sentence that was
carried out.
In the records of Hunterdon County,
scene Of the Lindbergh kidnapping
and Hauptmanns subsequent trial,
the case is marked Closed The last
echo Of the Hauptmann trial was
stilled only week ago when a perjury
indictment against a defense witness
was dismissed.
In State police headquarters at
Trenton, the voluminous Lindbergh
file is occasionally increased by letters
giving tips" or new evidence" All
are checked out as routine police
work, but none of them has stood up.
The s25, 900 reward is still unpaid,
but one house of the Legislature has
already voted to appropriate the
money and indications are the long
delayed payment may come soon.
Gov Harold G. Hoffman, whose en-
trance into the case created such
furor when courts were weighing
Hauptmanns appeal, still holds to his
belief that the execution did not solve
the case. The extent today of his
private Investigations. once wide
spread, is not known except for spo-
radio rumors and reports of new evil

F|NANC|ERS URGED
TO CONSERVATISM
Gen. Dawes Predicts 1887
and 1888 Will Be Peak
Prosperity Years.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, April 3.-Gen. Charles
Gates Dawes surveyed the stock
market yesterday and predicted 1887
and 1888 will probably cover the
peak years in this present period of
prosperity"
The Chicago banker and former
vice president of the United States
advised an audience of financiers to
seek more conservative investment
field for trusts in bonds and high
grade mortgages.
His prediction Of the boom years
was his third notable forecast since
September, 1885, when he said de-
cided expansion in demand for dur
able goods and steel would signalize
the ending of the depression. Later
he foresaW the current climb of steel
production toward the Nations ca
pacity.
Burden on Trustees.
Responsibilities of a greater mag
nitude than ever before now rest upon
trustees in connection with common
stock holdings or proposed purchases"
he told the Midwest Regional Con-
ference of the Robert Morris Asso-
ciates, an organization of bank credit
officials
when I say now I am referring
to this year and next. which two years
will probably cover the peak years in
this present period of prosperity.
Nothing is more inevitable during
the latter portion of periods of pros
perity than for masses of our popula-
ton to flock to speculative excesses
At such times, as in 1929, high inter-
est on prime securities may exist for
a short time, colncidentally with
stock market boom, but both are then
short Lived.
Time to Make Changes.
Such a period however, is still
quite a time in the future, in my
Judgment There is still reasonable
time to make changes in trust stock
holdings. Many trust fund will fare
better in the long run by losing inter-
est in keeping investment funds in
cash until interest rates on prime Sc
curities have their inevitable rise than
by investing in stocks at their present
range of prices.
"All trustees with responsibility for
common stock holdings need TO resist
the force of inertia at such time as
this and with reasonable diligence seek
constantly to improve the stability of
their security holdings
Gen. Dawes said that during the
depression, when interest rates on
high-grade securities were phenome-
nally low, trust officers were forced to
invest in some common stocks for cur
rent income.
With bond and mortgage returns
increasing he added, the transition
to more conservative investments can
be made at this time with less loss of
principal than would be possible later.
