In the Stock Market

ißv Thomson & McKinnon t NEW YORK, March B.—Worst effects on employment of last fall's market collapse will pass within the next sixty days, according to the President's latest statement on labor conditions. Directing attention to the tact that steady improvement has been witnessed, both in business and employment during the past two mon lis, the report reveals that in only twelve states is there more than seasonal unemployment. In is not unreasonable to assume that possibly the seriousness of this situation has been somewhat overstressed in many quarters. Certainly the week-end trade reviews are far from discouraging, although frankly stating that the present hesitancy in the earlier recovery movement of business is disappointing. On the whole, howeier, they note a widespread disposition to look upon the longer term outlook with confidence. We feel the market, all things considered, is giving an admirable account of itself, and that its technical position leaves little to be edesired. Therefore, with the outlook for business and employment what it is. we see no reason to change cur view that investors can with assurance utilize present opportunities for accumulating ound stocks.

‘BOMB FACTORY 1 FARM RAIDED Eleven Chicago Gangsters Arrested in ‘Arsenal.’ By United Press CHICAGO, March B.—A farmhouse near Melrose Park, declared by police to have been a factory for turning out bombs in wholesale quantities, was raided by two squads of detectives early today and eleven men, a majority of them declared to be members of the Genna gang, were arrested. Two powerful dynamite bombs, wrapped and apparently ready for delivery, were found in a kitchen cupboard and the house was an arsenal in which shotguns and many revolvers were stacked. The raid on the “bomb farm” was seen as the first step in a police counter-offensive to thwart an expected general war in gangland for control of the lucrative south side beer and alcohol traffic. It came on the heels of an announcement by John Stege, chief of detectives, that he had ordered seven additional detective squads into the stockyards and Englewood districts, and that the special bomb squad would work there and follow clews unearthed in the gangsters’ haunts. A roaming squad with orders to arrest gangsters and hoodlums on sight also was ordered into the district. >

CABIN BURNED 10 HIDE KILLING Girl's Mutilated Body Is Found; Laid to Gangsters. By United Press LAKE VILLA. 111., March B.—The mutilated body of a young woman, burned to a blackened mass, was found in the ruins of a cabin in a deserted summer resort on the shores of Deep Lake, near here, early today, a clew, police believe, to a murder and an incendiary fire to hide its traces. The head, legs and arms were missing and police expressed the opinion they had been hacked off before the body was burned. All means of Identifying the body had been burned away, -but police said the condition of the body led them to believe the woman might have been the victim of gangsters known to haunt the summer resort throughout the winter when the cabins are not occupied by the owners. The body was discovered by members of the Antioch fire department after they had been summoned to the blazing cabin by Edward Schram, 49, a caretaker who has charge of the burned cottage and several others. Firemen said they detected the odor of gasoline, a further indication that the cottage was set afire deliberately. It had not been occupied since last summer and there was no way it could have caught fire from within, the caretaker said.

Doped by many as a dangerous “dark horse” contender for the state basketball crown, Anderson Indians, pictured above, today block the path of Technical high school’s march into the select sixteen who will complete in the title contests at Busier field house next Friday and Saturday. These two teams clash in the second game of the local regional this afternoon at Tech gym, preceded by the North Salem-Tipton' encounter at 2 p. m. The winner of the Tech-Anderson encounter is figured to have an easy time in the finals tonight. Coach A. R. Staggs has produced his usual strong quintet, built around Butler, chosen as a forward on The Times all-state team. Crisler, Hunt and Van Dyke, players of the husky, crashing type, and Woods, clever veteran of four campaigns, complete the first string. Johnson and Mason are capable reserves.

64 NET FOES STRUGGLE TO REACH FINALS Upsets Likely as Rivals Battle in 16 Regional Meets. TECH IN FEATURE TILT I Arsenal Quintet to Clash With Anderson in Local Event. Drilled to the proverbial “pink," sixty-four ambitious Indiana high school basketball teams today were to battle for the right to compete in the annual Hoosier cage classic, the championship finals, at the Butler fieldhouse next Friday and Saturday. Tonight, sixteen of the 760 quintets, which started on the long grind last week-end, will remain in the race, one from each regional. Opinions vary as to the superiority of certain quintets in the various regionaLs, and plenty of material for speculation is afforded. Inconsistency throughout the season in the play of leading quintets has made the tourneys this year exceptionally hard to “dope,” and startling upsets today are not out of the question. Two quintets who figured prominently in pre-toumey title speculation were eliminated in the sectionals last week. They were Columbus and Horace Mann of i Gary. Battle at Bedford j One of the hardest fought region- ; als in the state is anticipated ft ! Bedford, were four teams of apparently equal strength are to battle, j Bedford, New Albany, Salem and ; Seymour are the entries. The feature event in the entire N I state, however, is in Indianapolis, ! where two dark horse contenders for laurels, Anderson and Technical, clash. At Marion, the Giants, Kokomo, and Hartford City present a difficult problem with Marion favored by the home floor and the draw. Newcastle and Muncie, two of the oldest rivals in cage circles, promise some thrilling action and a possible upset. Rushville may stage a surprise party in knocking off Connersville. Frankfort may find Jeff of Lafayette hard to solve, and La Porte and Washington of East Chicago, conqueror of Horace Mann, will enliven the Gary event. Thrills at Franklin South Bend and Goshen are topnotchers w’ho will battle for the right to represent the Mishawaka regional, and there is little to choose between them. Shelbyville, conqueror of Columbus and Franklin will furnish the thrills at Columbus, with Fuzzy Vandivier’s quintet given an even break with the Shelby five. Logansport, another title favorite, may run into grief when it meets Peru and Delphi in consecutive encounters. Alburn faces a serious threat in Kendallville, and Vincennes, apparently in a slump, will be forced to top speed by Bosse of Evansville. Martinsville is expected to have little trouble with Wiley of Terre Haute, their only strong foe. Since their regional was moved to Attica, Greencastle’s chances of coming to the fieldhouse have diminished, but the Cubs remain favored over Clinton, while Central of Ft. Wayne and Huntington will battle for the right to represent Ft. Wayne. Washington Hatchets have a clear path and no difficult foes. The eomplete schedule today:
