The market had a quiet opening
but, with the initial offerings small,
prices soon turned Steadier on local
buying and trade covering. There
was little disposition to add to COM

trade was inclined to await further

and shortly after the first half hour
was 1903 when the market generally
was 2 to points net higher.
The Commodity Credit Corp. an
nounced from Washington it was ex-
tending indefinitely its loan cotton
program which had been scheduled
to expire yesterday. Requests for
releases of loan cotton during the past

Reports that the Senate Agriculture

The shooting occurred shortly after
midnight, when Bodwell and Officer
Roland Kirby sped to the Macomb
street address in an eighth precinct
scout car on a "disorderly crowd"
report.
In front of the house the policemen
were met by German A. Phillips, who
said his brother had been drinking
heavily and was violent.
German, who operates dry clean
ing establishment on the ground floor
of his home. said his brother had
threatened him with a razor, but it
had been dropped when he slammed
a door on the brothers arm.
Trouble Laid to Radio.
The disturbance started, police we're
told, when German attempted to shut
off a radio, which Clarence had turned
on full blast.
While the officers were talking to
German, they saw Clarence enter the
house by the rear door. They pursued
him upstairs and grappled with him
in a front bed room. Clarence was
forced to drop a second razor when
Kirby struck him twice in the face
with a blackjack.
Ignoring the blows and producing
a third razor during the scuf1e, Clar-
ence, according to a police report,
drove the officers from the bed room
with a lunge.
As he backed into an adjoining
room, where the lights were out, Bod
we'll was cut deeply in the cheek and
again on the scalp. Falling over a
chair, Bodwell pulled his revolver
and fired four shots at his assailant.
Fourth Shot Goes Wild.
Two of the bullets struck Clarence
in the abdomen and one in the chest,
killing him almost instantly. The
fourth shot went wild.
At Emergency Hospital, where he
was taken in a taxicab, Bodwen was
found to be weak from loss Of blood.
Physicians said they expected him to
recover, however.
Police said they were informed Clar-
ence had been out of work. They
said German called the precinct after
both he and his mother, Mrs. Clara s.
Phillips, had been unable to quiet
Clarence.

Efforts to Gain More Light
on Bugher Gem Theft
Still Stymied.

Police still were stymied today in
their efforts to get more light on the
Bugher gem theft case.
John Morcischeck, 49-year-old but
Ter. who now faces two charges OF
grand larceny, was grilled for several
hours Yesterday, but stuck to his story
of finding the 100000 in jewels be-
longing to Mrs. Henrietta Bugher in
the hallway of her apartment at 1875
Massachusetts, avenue. He was in for
another siege today.
He also denied having any accom-
plices and investigators have not de-
termined what final disposition was
planned of this collection and another
S50.000 lot belonging to Mrs. Bugher
which were located in New York and
are being held at headquarters here
under guard. Morcischeck has dis
claimed knowledge of this second COL
lection.
The second charge filed against the
butler yesterday accused him OF taking
jewelry belonging to Frederick M.
Bugher, Mrs. Bugher's son.

check yesterday about $4,000 rob-
berry at the home of w. c. Durant,
motor magnate, in Deal, N. j., in 1928,
and a $4,000 Job at the home OF
Marsden J. Perry, Newport. Accord
ing to information in their possession,
Morcischeck sued Durant for false
arrest when held for four days after
the Deal robbery. The case, they said,
was settled out of court for $500.

Thompson expects to go to the grand
Jury with the Bugher theft this week.
