FRIDAY, JULY 23, 1937

8. GAINS REPORTED

IN EMPLOYMENT HERE FOR JUNE

General Business Uptrend |

Over State Noted in I. U. Review.

Indianapolis business conditions showed a turn for the better during June, according to the Indiana Business Review, monthly survey prepared by the Indiana University Bureau of Business Research. The current issue, appearing today, said that Indianapolis factories operated on schedules equal to or above a month ago. Employment was 3.6 per cent higher during the second week of June than during the same period in May. Payrolls made a smaller gain, Retail store employment was up 43 per cent, and payrolls 3.6 per cent. Department store sales were well above a year ago. Newspaper advertising made less than the seasonal decline and compared favorably with a year ago.

Check Transactions Near Record

Check transactions were only slightly under the record June total set in 1929, and bank debits during the first half of 1937 were 22.3 per cent above the period a year ago. Wholesale organizations reported their payrolls about equal to a month ago. Wholesale grocery and drug sales were above a year ago. New-car sales were under a year ago. Building permits issued during the first half of 1937 provided for construction valued at $4,251,366, compared with $2,796,384 a year ago and $1,433,666 two years ago. Postoffice receipts were higher than during any other June since 1929. Livestock receipts were 10 per cent above a month ago, but 5.7 per cent under a year ago. Building activity throughout Indiana during June made more than the usual seasonal gain and was well above the like period a year earlier. “The general level of Indiana business activity for June was a little more than 12 per cent above a year ago and about © per cent under June, 1929,” the Review said. “Activity in some sections of Indiana was retarded by labor difficulties, but reports for the state as a whole showed improvement in many lines of trade and industry.

Residential Construction Slow

The Review explained that new residential construction was considerably above recent vears, but far under normal. “If this type of construction should continue at the average rate maintained during the past six months, it would take about 145 years to provide each family with new living quarters.” “A contraseasonal upturn was reported in the number of automobiles produced in Indiana during June, Auto parts production declined some but remained above a year ago. Labor difficulties curtailed total output of the steel industry. Most steel plants entered July with substantial backlogs of orders. Manufacturers of machinery were busier during June. “Department stores sales made more than the usual seasonal decline but continued to compare favorably with the like period a year earlier,” the review added. “Newspaper advertising in the state was slightly above a year ago. The number of certificates of title issued for new cars was slightly higher than the June record set in 1926. Used car sales were nearly 12 per cent above the previous June record.”

BURIED GOLD FINDER SHOT MYSTERIOUSLY

Two Others Linked to Spanish Cache Flee Treasure.

By United Press PANAMA, July 23.—An atmosphere of mystery and tragedy enveloping a reported find of three million dollars in gold bars in remote Chiriqui province was deepened today, and President Jose Arosemena ordered an investiga tion. National police operatives sent te Piedra Candelas, where the gold was reported found, were met by Johannes Van Steck, a French citizen, one of three prospectors said to have found the gold, \ Van Steck, the police said, conducted them to the ancient mine tunnel in which the gold was supposed to be hidden. “I'll go in first,” they quoted Van Steck as saying. They said Var Steck thrust his machete, a sword-, like, heavy knife, into the black, mouth of the tunnel and then en-; tered himself. There was the sound; of a shot, the police said, and, following Van Steck into the tunnel, they found him shot through the right side of the head and bleeding from the mouth. Police seemed to believe Van Steck shot himself. Van Steck, in his first stories to police, asserted Antonio Hill, German, another of the three, fled and tried to shoot him from ambush. American Escapes

The third prospector was Arring | Thorpe, an American. He was

found yesterday at La Conception, the nearest outpost of civilization to the mine tunnel—three days afoot through the jungle from the scene. Thorpe denied any connection with the treasure or any knowledge of it. Col. Manuel Pino, chief of police of Panama was at David, 10 hours by motor truck from La Concepcion, with a convoy of five police airplanes sent to investigate. It was indicated that two police captains and the Governor of Chiriqui province, who “confirmed” to the government the three million dollar find, had not seen the

gold themselves.

Jardine Lauds Edward Before Baltimore ‘500’

By United Press BALTIMORE, Md. July 23.—The

girlhood home of “the woman I love” today heard unstinted praise for the former King she married as a world peacemaker from the Rev. R. Anderson Jardine, who performed the ceremony which united Mrs. Wallis Warfield and the Duke of Windsor. The “poor man's parson” of Dar-

lington, England, continuing an American speaking tour, last night before an audience of 500 attacked former Prime Minister Stanley Baldwin as “a grandmotherly” person, and the archbishop of Canterbury as an ‘‘ecclesiastical cad.” “Was Edward the victim of a po-litical-religious conspiracy to bind him hand and foot and to make him a puppet, not a power—a machine, not a man?” the Rev. Mr, Jardine asked. “My own personal belief—take it for what it is worth—is that he was, and that the dominating power for his overthrow was a section of the Church—the Anglo-Catholic section. “What did Canterbury do? He asked—and answered: “He railed. He kicked the man when he was down. He hit him when his back was turned. This ecclesiastical cad —this despicable prelate—forgot the first laws of Christianity, the law of Christian love, compassion and sympathy for those in trouble.” But the Duke of Windsor, said the parson, will be recorded in history as “a King beloved and idolized by his people the world over.” “I believe in the sanctity of the marriage tie, but I do not believe that all marriages are made in heaven,” the Rev. Mr, Jardine said. “I do not believe that Bishop Manning (of New York) or the Archbishop of Canterbury can tell me who God hath joined together and who Satan hath joined together.”
