First, I note several good fear
lures. One Is that less atten-
ton will be paid to intent"
and more to the results of mo-
nopoly. Another is that the
question Of monopoly is not
one Of size or stability, but Of
arbitrary or rigid prices. We
can also agree with him the
line can be drawn only by &C.
tual Investigation Of particular
industries.

SPENDING NEGLIGIBLE

Despite approval Of five hun
dred million in grants since June
"a, actual expenditures by the
PWA so far comprise the virtually
negligible figure of $954,204. With
the exception of WPA, all the
other New Deal agencies are en-
countering difficulties in getting
rid Of their bountiful cash re-
sources.
In some cases, red tape involved
Is retarding distribution Of recov-
cry dollars. In other instances,
notably the RFC, considerable
time Is consumed In appraisal OF
loan applications.
Resumption of PWA grants for
heavy construction works Is one
Of the principal levers by which
the Administration hopes to hoist
business out Of the doldrumS.
BOGGED IN DETAIL
To date. however, many Of the
communities given grants for
swimming pools, bridges, buildings
and other projects are so begged
down in administrative detail that
actual construction probably will
not get underway until late fall
and early winter.
Lending to industry, resumed by
the RFC last February, Is moving
at little better than q Snail's pace.
Although the corporation has au-
thorized $90,142,000 in business
loans, only $l3,485,998 had been
disbursed UP to August q.
Outlays by the Housing Author,
Iity, supplied with 100000, 900 for
low-cost housing construction, are
insignificant. During the first two
months Of the current fiscal year,
the Authority has spent only ST.
s55, ,733. While $4,000, 900 In prof.
ects has been approved, only one
has reached the ground breaking
stage.
The Farm Security Administra-
tion, to loan farmers cash for ma
chinery, seed and livestock, has
actual disbursements Of $2o,940,,
900 for July and August. For the
same period last year these to-
tailed $32,000,00O

DERHAPs this sergeant Of the guard did turn
on the heat, but that doesn't let the warden
out Of any Of his responsibility. Certainly no
body had any right to do such terrible thing.
Even If he had been ordered to do it, no matter
who it was. he ought to have said mo" and re-
signed at once before roasting four men to death
Just think, even the doctors weren't allowed to
90 to those poor souls and they were screaming
and crying in their madness, and dying. don't
know any punishment that is too bad for q
warden like this who Is either so lazy or so nesli-
gent that he makes the torture chamber Of old
look like the childrens kindergarten compared to
what went on In this prison
Again I say 1t is so vitality important to get
disinterested people to make the rounds of these
institutions and report exactly what they find.

there was a decrease in the number OF

Increases were noted in deaths from
several causes, especially pneumonia,
the January, 1888, total having been
404, as compared with 1873 in January,
1887.
There were ten more homicides last
month than year ago, the report
shows, and two more suicides. Deaths
from cancer continued on the upgrade
with 173, as compared with ISL last
year. tuberculosis deaths were up

Almost simultaneously with release
today of the January accident report,
showing a decrease in fatalities from
the corresponding month of 1887, he
said that training given in the school
course is already apparent in many
applicants for drivers licenses. He
noted that not less than 10000 stu
dents either of or near the age for
obtaining licenses are enrolled.

"and I believe we are going to be able
to tie into it with an aggressive cam

Giving details of the work in the
schools he said that at the opening
of the year 5000 copies of the text.

distributed in the schools; but that
this number soon proved so made
quate that a second distribution of
5000 copies was made.

For some reason or other Sergeant
Loewnstein is now making his 18th

Der of the American Legion and
Veterans of Foreign Wars and has a

bravery.
Sergeant Loewstein explained that
he has written two books on his

there proposes to sail to South Amer

many collisions and other smash-ups
in cities usually did littM except dam

not going fast; while in the country,
where the drivers conscience, if any,

percentage of fatalities to the wreck
was tremendously higher
Of the so persons killed, nearly half
were pedestrians, proving that auto
mobiles are not dangerous only t.
those who ride in them. No less than
26 pedestrians died from being run
down by cars during January, and it
is worthy of note that the much-dis-
cussed practice of "jay walking was
charged with responsibility in only
one case.

eight State highway patrolmen and a

A hail of bullets followed Lee, the
lieutenant said.
The fleeing man ran into a small

slumped dead. He was struck four

Moore said Lee was being sought

had existed on tree bark for at
least two weeks, were being fed

The animals were led down the
