To a police official who was pe mitted to see her for a few moments at the hospital, she said: “I decline to give the reason for my act; it is my secret.” At a Paris railroad station Satur- day the countess fired twice when de Trafford leaned from the window of a coach to kiss her goodbye as she stood on the platform. The first bul- let entered his chest and the second pierced his abdomen. Countess May Recover There was some hope today the countess would recover. De Trafford was extremely weak today. cians said there was danger of an ternal hemorrhage. Countess de Janze is a daughter of the late Mr. and me, Wiliam Silver- thorne of Buffalo, N. Y., and a niece of Mrs. Frances E. May of Chicago, She was married to Count de Janze ! in Chicago in 1921, About two years ago, the couple | went on a hunting trip to Kenya Col- | ony, British East Africa, The | countess was introduced to de Traf- ford. The count returned from one of his trips alone to find that his wife and de Trafford had disappeared. He started divorce proceedings, asking for custody of their son and daugh- | ter. Friends believe the countess was deeply affected when de Trafford’s intendent, the apartment was rented | several moths ago by four men, Abe | and Simon Axler, brothers; Sam Mil- ler and John Tolserdorf. Eddie Fletcher, said to be a boxer of Trenton, N. Ja also. an occupant of the ih fetid it, is being sought. INDUSTRIAL STOCKS HIT NEW RECORDS U. S. Steel Brings Highest Price Ever Recorded— Others at New Levels New York, March. 28.—-()-—Com- mon stock of the American Telephone and Telegraph company, General Mo- tors corporation, and the United States Steel corporation, three of the country’s largest industrial or- ganizations, touched new high rec- ords today on the New York stock exchange. United States Stee! common sold at 165%, the highest price ever re- corded; American Telephone and Telegraph was quoted at 169, the*high- est price since 1903, and General Mo- tors climbed to 182, a new peak price for the present stock.

The increasing tenseness of the situation at Shanghai has caused {deep concern here.

Word that the admiral had landed reinforeements was regarded as in-| dicating he viewed the situation a most threatening as there were ai- ready upwards of 1,500 marines on! shore under command of Brig. Gen- eral Smedley Butler. That other| naval commanders at Shanghai view! the situation in the same light as the| American admiral, however, was ap-| parent in their concentration of ad-| ditional forces in that area. FOREIGNERS FLOCKING TO INTERNATIONAL SETTLEMENT Shanghai, March 28—()—Scores of foreigners, Americans predominat- ing, continued to flock into the ternational settlement of Shang! i today, fleeing from the storm of anti-foreign agitation sweeping the Yangtze valley. They came from the larger ports) on the banks of the great river and | from places inland, where, since the | nationalist victories of ‘last week, the situation had become increasing- | ly menacing. In some instances, the, refugees barely escaped the fury of | mobs, bent upon destroying all for-| eigners because of itonese reports | that 200,000 Cantonese were killed} when American and British warships opened fire at Nanking Thursday. There was no mistaking the relief of the refugees as they came within confines of the international settle- ment, for they were confident that | the large combined army of foreign defense forces would prevent any | organized attempt at attack. Feeling Is Strong Thoue entrusted with protection of the international settlement are pre-' paring for all eventualities as strong feeling against foreigners is every- where evident in the native city. Anti-foreign posters and __ fier: speeches by students keep the Chi- nese in such a frame of mind that anything is likely to happen. jarriers of the international sct- tlément are being strengthened and; are arranging Smedley D. But-| ! ler, commanding the American ma- vines, inspected the defense vester- day in company with the British commander, Major General Duncan., That the Cantonese attack at Nan- king, which drew the fire of the warships, was premeditated and was by persons Yamillar with foreign interests in the city, is the belief of BUSINESS MEN Retail Dealers Threaten to!

The difficulty \is said to have arisen over inabil | of retail grocery and meat merchants to compete with Ford stores, whose | system of buying in enormous quan- | tities and selling at slightly above | ;cost has made big inroads into the | trade of the companies, chain stores, Prices Much Lower Persons dealing at the Ford mar- ket declare its wares are sold from 10 to 40 per cent under prevailing retail prices. The stores, however, do not profess to sell their merchan- dise at cost. On the contrary, one market, that | at the Highland Park plant of the | Ford company, is said to have netted including | | more than a million dollars last year. | The Highland Park store is the smallest of the Ford group and has since been enlarged. Ford has two larger markets here, another at L'Anse, Mich., one at his Iron Mining | Center at: Iron Mountain, Mich.,-and | others in Kentucky, where he has mining interests. Cash and Carry Plan Even nationally advertised articles, such as baking powder and patented medicines and cosmetics, have been | sold at the Ford stores considerably below the prevailing retail price. A porterhouse ~steak that would retail in the neighborhood meat shop at 45 cents had been sold at the Ford! store for 25 cents. Bacon has been sold at 40 cents a pound against 55 cents in the average retail stores. Baking powder, that normally sells for from 25 to 30 cents a can, vells| at 18 cents.

RESPONSIBILITY Is D UPON BRITISH (P)—Leaflets bout today by tors in Shanghai fix responsibil- : for the Nanking incident on the eae. DanRtal, March 28. and make no mention of ans.
