WOfil.D C. OF C. FINDS BUSINESS HORIZON BRIGHT Delegates of 26 Nations Feel Depression ‘Bottom’ Is Reached. BY WILLIAM PHILIP SIMMS, Rrrim>*-Howari Forclrn Editor WASHINGTON, May B.—That the botiwm of the slump has been reached and that better times arc not far off, Is indicated in the reports from twenty-six nations represented at the meeting of the International Chamber of Commerce here. While none of these nations reports a resumption of anything like normal times within'lts borders, and some frankly warn against jumping at conclusions, practically all are in agreement that at least three general factors make for reasonable optimism. New Production Necessary First, most of the twenty-six countries report, conditions lead to the belief that the depression Is at, or very close to, rock bottom, and that the tendency should soon be in the direction of recovery, perhaps not very marked at first, but steady. Second, that stocks of manufactured goods everywhere are extremely low. New production will shortly be necessary, therefore, and consequently the employment of more labor. Third, the psychological factor—that important imponderable which seems to make bad times worse than they actually are, or good times better—seems to be on the mend as evidenced by an increase in the number of inquiries or tentative orders reported from pretty nearly every corner of the world. Plight Still Grave Among the nations polled on the subject were Great Britain, France, Germany, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Switzerland, Austria, Hungary, Roumania, Yugo-Slovia, Czecho-Slo-vakia, Poland, Denmark, Holland, Norway, Sweden, Finland, Greece, Esthonia, India, Chile, Canada and the United States, The spokesmen for none of these countries showed any inclination to answer the query with the old bromide that “prosperity is just around the corner.” On the contrary, the tendency was to insist that the plight of the world still is grave, albeit with certain definitely encouraging signs showing. In the opinion of an unmistakable majority of these business moguls in conference here, the United States and Russia likely will decide the immediate future of world events.

‘TRUNK KILLER' BACK IN JAIL Emma Le Doux Fails Again to Obey Law; Gets Life. By United Print SAN QUENTIN PRISON, May 8. —Emma Le Doux, Stockton “trunk murderess,” has resumed her life just where she left off five years ago.

Her sentence was later commuted to life Imprisonment. Paroled five years ago, Mrs. Le Doux was soon in trouble again and was sent back to prison. She was given another chance last January. Arrested again on a vagrancy charge, it developed, police said, that she had a hand in a marriage bureau “racket.” and the decision was made to remand her to prison for life.

DRY LEADER PREDICTS MODIFICATION ACTION Jones, Hoover Backer, Says Senate Must Face Issue, By United Press SEATTLE, May B.—Senator Wesley L. Jones, father of the “five and ten law,” and among the dryest of President Hoover’s senate bloc, thinks the next congress will consider modification of the dry law. Although making it plain that he’s still a dry, Jones said here he had gathered from conferences with his fellow-senators and congressmen that the issue W’ould be a live one in the winter session. “Congress can not repeal the eighteenth amendment,” he said, “nor will it try to do so. That is strictly up to the people. What it can do, however, is to modify the Volstead act. I am confident that if such a move is made it will be given careful consideration.”

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

CITY FIRMS TO TALK GAS PLAN | WITHSULLIVAN Piping Company’s Offer to Be Discussed at Monday Parley. Conference of Mayor Reginald H. Sullivan's natural gas committee to hear representatives of more than twenty local industrial firms desiring to use natural gas will be held at 1:30 Monday in the mayor's office, City Attorney James E. Deery announced today. Industrial firms which have contracted to purchase natural gas from the Kentucky Natural Gas Company, seeking permission to lay pipe lines in the city to the various industrial plants, have formed the Manufacturers Natural Gas Association. Executive committee of the association will present the industries’ view on the proposition at the meeting. The Kentucky company, in addition to asking permission to serve industries under contract, has suggested it would be willing to sell natural gas at wholesale rate to the Citizens Gas Company in event the city’s right to acquire the Citizens company under the 1905 charter is sustained by the United States supreme court. The mayor’s committee has set May 15 as the date for receiving formal bids for furnishing wholesale gas to the Citizens company. The only natural gas proposition, other than that of the Kentucky company, submitted to the committee is that of the Marion County Gas Corporation, which originally proposed to take over and operate the Citizens company for the city, paying the city an annual rental fee in addition to a share of the profits. The latter company proposed to mix natural gas with artificial gas, increasing heat units, and to reduce gas rates.
