F.B.L. SPECIAL
AGENT SHOT
Wounded as Effort to Trap
$500 Extortion Letter
Writer Fails

WASHINGTON, H?2. :. (uP).
The federal bureau Of mvcStiga-
ton reported last night that Spe-
cial Agent Henry a. Snow
wounded at Independence, Mo-,
as federal agents unSucccssfully
sought to trap the author of a
$4,000 cXtortion letter.
The bureau said that Snow was
one of several agents who had
convcrgcd secretly ut a spot along
the Chicago and Alton railroad
last night in an effort to capture
the writer Of an cXtortion note to
Howard Boone Jackson Of mdc-
pcndcnCc.
Jackson had gone to the dcSig-
mated spot to comply with the
letters instructions, and was
about to drop the money at a
prcarrangcd signal when the cX-
tortiOnist apparently became
alarmed and fired one shot which
struck Snow who had hidden
nearby.
The cXtortioniSt escaped.
Snow was taken To an lndc-
pcndcncc hospital, the bureau
said. There was no report on his
condition. He is n native Of

TO PROCLAIM
SILVER PRICE
Metal Breaks to New 3,
Year Low; U. S. Policy
Difficult to Maintain

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7. (UP)
President Roosevelt will issue Il
proclamation on or before Dec. 81
stating what price the government
will pay for domestic silver in the
future to carry out q congrcssion-
al mandate to rchabilitatc the
metal, Secretary of the Treasury
Henry Morgenthau Jr. said last
night.
Other officials indicated that
this government probably will
make no effort to renew the Lon
don agreement, which binds silver
producing countries not to dump
the metal in other lands, when it
expires on. Dec. 81.
The silver purchase act Of 1884
ordered the treasury 10 purchase
silver until it reached ratio of
one TO three with the nations gold
reserves, or until the price of the
metal reached $l.29 an ounce.
Although paying 4 bonus Of 32
cents an ounce to domestic pro.
ducerS. the government has been
buying foreign silver at 45 cents
an ounce which Monday was 3.55
cents above the world price set in
London. Morgenthau declined to
comment on reports that concern
over this nations future silver
policies has brought about Glut
of the metal in foreign markets.
He said the government is pay
ING As cents an ounce for foreign
silver and will continue to do so
until further notice" Other
treasury officials privately have
made no effort to conceal their
feeling that drastic changes should
be made in the silver policy which
some feel cannot BE- successfully
carried to its conclusion.
When the silver act was passed,
il was estimated that the treasury
would have to purchase 1900
100000 ounces of the metal to
achieve a one-to-threc ratio with
gold reserves.
Since then the treasury has pur-
chased more than 300.000.000
ounces but its gold hoard has in
creased to such an extent that the
silver-gold ratio now is approx
mately what it was when the
measure was enacted.
As the price of silver broke yes
terday to the lowest figure since
May 1884, the congressional sill
YER bloc organized to combat any
attempt by the administration to
change its course.
