While waterfront crowds watched
her entire crew Of 35 was saved,

been in the employ Of the Canadian
government"
When asked if he ever told her
anything about his business, she
said, He didn't ever tell me moth
ing about nothing"
Large Bank Accounts
Backing her statements that her
father was apparently well'to-do
was the discovery by officers yes
terday that Morrison had large ac-
counts in several banks.
Deputy Sheriff Sam Yopp said
that they discovered in some effects
at the house a record Of a bank
deposit of $40, 900 in a Toronto bank,
deposited there on January 3. of
this year. THAT appeared to have
been only a drop in the bucket of
what he did have" Yopp said. Of
ficers said that he had about $3.50
in his pockets and more than that
amount at the house. Some of the
money was Canadian money, Off
GERS said.
A further angle to the case and
one that appeared to bear out the
girls statement about the argument
about governmental matters, was
the statement by Deputy Yopp that
in Morrison's papers were some
papers that appeared to be a code
of some sort"
The girls mother, Mrs. Grace
Rasbury Morrison, who is being held
in Jail as a material witness in the
case, told a somewhat different
story last night.
Mrs. Morrison said that she had
been sitting on the foot of the bed
in the bedroom, figuring some
household accounts and that before
she knew anything had happened
her husband jumped up from his
chair and started choking her.
II heard the shot. I didn't even
know she (Zelda) was in the room"
she said.
Shot Through Head
Morrison was shot through the
head, the 20 caliber rifle bullet en-.
tering his forehead and coming out
back of the. ear. Officers said that
there was another small wound in
the ctH;er of the forehead that
might have come from a blow.
Mrs. Morrison called an ambu
lance, but the ambulance went past
the house and therefore accounted
for the delay in getting the man to
the hospital, officers said.
One of the first persons to be
called into the house was U. B.
Spindle, operator Of a filling station
a short distance from the house
Spindle said that Morrison was
slumped in a chair, his head to one
side when he entered. The mar
was brought to the hospital by Ker
man Whitman and Charles Lamont
Of Carolina Beach.
Mrs. Morrison told newsmen in
Jail last night that her husband had
repeatedly threatened her and hac
said while they were living in Can
ada that "he had to get rid of me-
She explained this as one reason
why she had purchased the site ant
built the home here, by saying that
if he did, she wanted lit to be here
and not up there"
Another daughter, Oracle, age IL
was asleep in the house at the time
of the shooting.
Drinking
Zelda said that her father hat
been drinking at the time and hel
mother had been drinking slight
ly." Officers said that they fount
a small quantity of liquor at thu
house.
Mrs. Morrison said that they hat
been here about 10 days. Zelda hat
stated that they came into thi:
country by train via Buffalo, New
York, about New Years Day. I
return trip ticket to Toronto, pre-
sumably belonging to Morrison, wa
found by officers at the house.

this morning.
The Italian ship was said to have
picked up two boatloads Of survivors
and the %destroyers one each.
The other ships which went to the
rescue may have picked up other
boats.
Hospitals ashore began a hasty or
ganiZation to give relief and medical
treatment

Your friends will love you better

You've cheerful word to say.
Your song will be much sweeter
And your smile will lend cheer
If you will on life's highway

TN THE midst of all the ex-
l. citement of giving "Gone
With the Wind" its premiere
showing at Atlanta, David 0.
Selznick, the producer, took
time out to think of all of us
who couldn't be there. Before
leaving Hollywood he had
held a pre-view for the crit
les, and their opinion Of the picture
convinced him that it ought not to
be cut. .
He had thought that anyway. But
the picture runs three hours and As
minutes-the average film only 80
minutes. Despite his long expert
ence as a producer. he couldn't be
sure that the public would sit still
that long for any film, no matter
how good it was.
The California critics did, and il
they would. anybody would. So, on
arriving in Atlanta, he announced
that it would be released at its pres
ent length; perhaps at the end Of the
first year it may be cut so that II
will run only two hours and half.
-s.S--
Iona Massey is off to good start.
The lovely blonde Hungarian, who.
according to one critic, looks like
Dietrich, talks like Garbo." and
sings like the former. has proved

80 to so per cent over 1889. The
heavy industries should report the
biggest jump in profits - up 30
to 100 per cent = with consumer
industry profits up 10 to rs per
cent. AS result investors are
slated for some very pleasant divi-
Gend surprises - checks 25 to so
per cent bigger than year ago.
With combination of high BUSH
ness volume and a bright outlook
foi profits and dividends, you would
normally expect higher security
| prices. However, this is not only
strange war; it's strange boom
as well. Despite all the optimistic
news, sentiment is bad. Investors
refuse to buy under-valued stocks
selling at 8 to IL times earnings
and yielding 5 to 10 per cent. Yet
they stampede to buy the bonds of
government which has failed tc
earn it's charges" for ten years,
and which yield only one to two
per cent!
Second-grade bond issues of con-
Germs covering their interest COM
fortably are selling for so to 20
cents on the dollar while S1a per
cent triple A" corporation bonds
are gobbled up at prices to yield
as little as three per cent. Some
time = maybe not in the first half
If 1910 = but sooner or later, the
bond market must take its medi-
cine just as the stock market of
1928 20 had to take its knocks.
So am moderately bullish on
carefully selected stocks and med
iim-grade bonds for early 1910,
but l am bearish on "high-grade"
long-term bonds.
\ World. commerce is all muddled
up. You cannot make any strong
forecasts about it. The best you
can say is that our trade with Can
ada, South America and Italy will
be the high-spot of the export and
import picture in early 1910. Our
commercial treaty with Japan ex-
pires on January Is. If it is not
renewed our trade in the Pacific
Montgomery County sentinel. [volume] (Rockville, Md.) 1855-1974, 1940-01-04

may be sharply curtailed. How
ever, l think something will be-
worked out with the Japanese.
No War Forecast
No forecast on the war or its
duration is possible at this time.
1t may be all over tomorrow, or i'll
may drag on for years. The inn
portant point right now is to rec
cgnize that wars effect on bust
ness is being emphasized. So
far, it has neither helped nor hurt,
American business. When, and if,
lighting breaks out in earnest, AL
lied war orders will help our bust
ness. But under no circumstances
would the belligerents buy as much
from us as they did in 1857.
The war is in no sense the major
prop under our current boomlet.
That's why l say, "War or peace,
early 1910 will see the best busi-
ness in ten years"
The first half of 1910 will come
the closest to "good times" that
we have seen since 1929. Readers
must not think, however, that /
believe everything is hunky-dory.
Real prosperity is as far away as
ever. Real prosperity is merely
synonym for progress of civiliza-
ton. With millions of men jobless
at home and millions more trying
to kill each other abroad, real
prosperity is not even "just around
the corner Real prosperity and
lasting peace will return only when
the desires and goals of our and
all other peoples change = that is
when we all practice what Jesus
taught 1000 years ago.
