BUSINESS IN STATE BETTER General Improvement In I Indiana Business Reported In February Bloomington, Ind.. Mar. 20.--(U.R) —General improvement in Indiana business during February was reported today in the current issue of the Indiana Business Review. Employment other than CWA was well above the corresponding months of one and two years ago, the report said. Substantial improvement was reported in steel mill operations with much of the upturn in steel output built around increasing automotive demand. More coal was mined in Indiana idnring the past mouth than in any ' other February since 1930. the report showed. “Furniture factories operated on lower schedules than at any other lime since May, 1933, but total output was well above February. 1933. Electricity production was about equal to a month ago and well * alxive a year ago. The limestone ’ industry was very qniet. I "Indiana automobile production made more than the usual seasonal upturn and was well above the like period a year ago. "Preliminary reports for February indicate that average daily department store sales were about equal to the daily average for Jan--nary. Department store sales for | the state as a whole were welt I above a year ago and about equal to February. Hardware sales were well above a year ago. I "Building trades were slightly more active. Total construction ' was well above February of one and two years ago but far under normal." I SEEK TO DELAY SILVER ACTION (CONTINUED FROM r*AGE ONE) He recalled then that he had Issued Dec. 21 a proclamation for coinage of newly mined silver and an increase in treasury reserves .of silver bullion. Thia proclamation conformed with the London* conference silver ' agreement signed by 66 nations including all pnncrpal silver producing and silver using countries. Mr. Roosevelt is convinced the London conference agreement, if made effective by necessary ratifications will lead to "a marked increase in the use and value of silI ver.” He considers the London agreement a step toward internal- ' ional monetary agreement which is I his ultimate objective.

COUNTERFEIT ' NOTES PASSED Warning Is Issued Ol Counterfeit $lO Notes In Circulation Chief of police warns the public of several counterfeit $lO notes of n new and dangerous variety that have been det<-< ted during the fast month in various parts of Indiana am! elsewhere throughout the I nitial States. This is a counterfeit of a slu note on the Federal Reserve hank of St. LouUi. Mo., bearing the letter ' H in circle to the left of the portrait of Hamilton. 192 s series; signa lures of W. O. Woods and A. W. Mellon: printed from excellently etched photo mechanical plates on one sheet of paper. No attempt has been made to simulate the silk | fibre of the genuine note. Tint pori trait of Hamilton- is particularly ' well reproduced. No two notes bear the same serial number ami different cheek letters and plate numbers appear on the individual notes. The check letter is printed in a type face quite similar to the genuine but in many instances is out of line with the other printing on file face of the note and also out of line with the plate number which is drawn by hand and may be recognized as suth by ordinary inspection. This counterfeit is a product ol Richard W. Adams, who escaped from federal custody at Chicago in December. 1933. lu previous operations Adams has used both men and women as passers of his notes. A passer of this counterfeit in St. Louis. Mo., during the past ten days, driving a 1929 model Buick coupe, dark green or dark blue body, bearing 1934 Missouri license 373-904, is described as 29-33 years. * 6 feet. 19u pounds, blond hair, light | complexion, round face, bad front teefh, small blond moustache, wearing brown or tan trench coat and gray felt hat. He was accompanied by a man described as 35. 5 feet 9 inches, heavy build. 170 pounds, dark complexion, hair and eyes, wearing a black or blue overcoat and dark suit.
