SENATE HITS „ ACTIVITY OF CONSTABLES Measure Puts Jurisdiction of Traffic Laws in Hands of City Courts. FIVE BILLS ARE PASSED The first step toward the limitation of the activities of constables has been taken by the State Senate with the passage of the bill providing that city courts In cities of the first, second and third class shall have exclusive original jurisdiction In all cases of violations of traffic laws and ordinances. The hill Is now ready for action in the House of Representatives. The measure is designed to prevent constables from making arrests In 'minor traffic cases in order that Justices of the 'peace and prosecutors may collect fees. It has been the practice In Marion County for constables to set “traps” for traffic law' violators and arrest them and take them to distant townships for trial. SENATE PASSES TWO AMENDMENTS.

District Attorney Thomas Lee Wool-' wine deplored the lack of a death penalty In California for kidnaping. Referring to the crime epidemic In southern California, he said: 'T cannot refrain from saying that this carnival of | crime to which we are being subjected , Is, In my opinion, largely attributable 1 to the fact that public officials, as well as the people generally, fcaTe been lnclned for years to temporize with the vicious and abandoned of heart. Unless something is done adequately to punish these murderers and kidnapers, no man may consider himself, his wife or family safe from their vicious assaults.” PRIBHT 18 RECOVERING.

SAYS FURTHER DECLINE DUE Credit Men’s Secretary Asks Gradual Recovery. NEW YORK. Feb. I.—Although retail prices have been revised downward to a considerable extent, some essentials are due for a further decline before a general level Is reached where the buyer will be brought back Into the market. This Is the opinion of J. H. Tregoe, executive secretary of the National Association of Credit Men. A month ago Mr. Tregoe predicted that there would be an almost universal reduction in many commodities. Today he thinks that prices generally are In too great a flux to encourage liberal commerce and In the recuperating process through which we are passing efforts should be bent upon the stabilization of prices and bringing them to a point where trading will be fair and free. ORAIJrAL RECOVERY TO BE DESIRED. Writing to the 33,000 members of the National Association of Credit Men, Mr. Tregoe, In bis February general letter, says: During January, events In our industrial and commercial affairs proceeded as ' we had anticipated, and while the present situation does not support the prediction ; of an itnmedMlte recovery we should bear In mind that in a sickness like ours the recovery should be gradual, so that every loose Joint can properly heal. During January, unemployment Increased, though not extensively, In all sections. Limited trading occurred In the wholosnle field and there was but little liqul elation of commercial loans.. Retail prices were deeply cut In many directions and brought about a rather liberal buying from consumers who had been waiting for the fall in prices. This was temporary, however. The prices of some essentials are due a further decline before we shall have reached a general level where the buyer will be brought back Into the market. On the favorable side of the sheet we

find a substantial decline In the Federal reserve notes, manif-oetlng a liquidation of the indebtedness of member banks to the Federal rNjerve banks, an Important element in the situation. We find a growing Interest in some of the essential lines bringing representatives of buying houses to the large markets, but it is a question Just now to what extent thdy will trade. PRICES IN TOO <* GREAT A FLI T X. Prices generally are In teo great a flux to encourage liberal commence and In tho recuperating process through which we are passing, efforts should be bent upon the stabilization of prices and bringing them to a point where trading will be fair and free. In the agricultural sections while too large a proportion of last year's crops is unliquidated, yet the of earlier years running back to 1915 have put the farm owner in a better shape to meet the situation than he otherwise would have been and the real sufferer is the tenant-farmer. The entire absence of any Important bank failure during the past month Is extremely significant of our financial strength and a very hopeful indication In the situation. Insolvency liquidations In the industrial sections have not been so large numerically, and financially, ,as were, expected. This Is due, In a large measure to the cooperation of credit grantors and banks, also to the fact that stocks were large and did not offer that ease of movement which tends to failures In a period of depression. In the agricultural sections, the Insolvency liquidations have been very numerous but not to the extent of embarrassment to creditors. Inventories have been taken generally at replacement values. REVIVAL TO TAKE CARE OF DAMAGE. The depreciation In merchandise com .modifies because of this has reached a total In our opinion of two billion five hundred million, but when considering that this Is not 1 per cert of our national wealth the damage Is not great and easy to repair when the revival comes. One of the most hopeful Indications Is the good spirit and spine of men who are going through fire. Tberels not the slightest symptom in the whole situation which should encourage fear. We are more firmly convince dthan ever that fundamentally the Nation Is sound to the core. In its Industrial and commercial affairs, and rec-

ognizing the accumulation of the buying powe rwe would Issue a word, of warning against the repetition of a defect In our temperament which ha sbrought us so frequently ifato distress. That is speculation. There must be a complete avoidance of speculation In the low-priced commodities, and to which the banks must devote their slncerest efforts. In conclusion, nothing more fittingly describes the situation than the words of David Lloyd George to his people In a time of great stress when he said: “Things are going right.” ROBBER PROVES RAPID WORKER House Ransacked While Woman Is at Grocery. Mrs. William Hoffman, housekeeper for Mr. and Mrs. Archie McWayne, 2209 Wheeler street, went to the grocery today.
