/ a wy PROBE MYSTERIOUS DEATH OF ANOTHER NEW YORK WOMAN Will Analyze Organs of Red- Haired Dancer for Traces | of Poisoning New York, March 17—(?)—The death under mysterious circumstances of aed woman vice graft witness agal Police was being investigated ‘Tsay ing tigat Miss Lucia Dickens, red-haired dancer who used the name of Georgia Gray, died Saturday night in Bellevue hospital after an illness of four days. Though the cause originally was di- Agnosed as pneumonia, Dr. Charles Norris, chief medical examiner, or- dered a chemical analysis of her or- gans to determine whether there were traces of poison. Miss Vivian Gordon, Broadway but- terfly, who accused Patrolman An- drew G. McLaughlin of’ her on a vice charge in 1923, was strangled to death Feb. 26, and her slayer is still at large. Under the name of Violet Smith, Miss Dickens .was taken to the hos- Pital last Friday from a West 72nd street apartment, allegedly suffering from bruises and other ailments, She was identified by John A. Markey, an attache of the district attorney's office. She testified in the perjury trial of Patrolman Leigh Halperin, who was acquitted, and was under $1,000 bond to appear against his partner, Daniel Sullivan. The policemen were associ- ates of Harry Gibson, stool pigeon, she said, and had paid him to play the “unknown man” act in entrapping women. Gibson previously jumped $7,500 bail in Baltimore and still is missing. The girl’s grandmother, Mrs, -R. E. Doolittle, said in Augusta, Ga., that Miss Dickens had written her for money several months ago, saying she wanted to return home because she was “tired of the crowd I am running with.” She was informed of the death in a telegram signed only “H. C. Bar- ber.” She is on the way here to claim the body. DUN'S SEES BETTER BUSINESS PROSPECT Trade Organization Says Senti- ment Is Better but Expan- sion Is Not Widespread The weekly business review of R. G. Dun and company, follows: “The more numerous indications of acceleration of commercial activity as spring approaches are encouraging, but do not suggest rapid and wide- spread expansion. Some advance now, in response’ to séasonal forces, is wholly natural, yet this trend is be- ing viewed with recognition of the fact that various obstacles to com- plete revival still remain. “Full recovery from a severe dis- location of trade necessarily must be a slow and uneven process, and evi- dence that not all of the essential ad- justments have been effected leads to) caution in measuring such progress as has been achieved. The foundation for better business, however, is being steadily laid, with strengthening of confidence, which is especially im- portant in the present situation, grad- ually spreading. “A further gain in sentiment re- cently has been promoted by a more favorable turn in agricultural condi- tions, due to beneficial rains and snowfall over an extended area of the country, and this phase has a deeper significance than the temporary im- pediment to retail distribution through inclement weather. The re- sults of the harvests this year will have a vital bearing on the future of business, and any development now which tends to brighten the crop out- look by improving the state of the soil is a promising augury. “Another hopeful sign of late oc- currence is the movement toward greater firmness in commodity prices, as reflected in the second consecutive weekly excess of advances in Dun’s comprehensive list of wholesale quota- tions. At no previous time since the depression began in the autumn of 1929 has a similar record been made, and even comparative stability in markets for leading raw materials and manufactured products would be dis- tinctly helpful. “Considerable unsettlement con- tinues and the rise in prices for cot- ton and copper has not sus- tained, but the general showing is more satisfactory from the viewpoint of sellers. Specific instances of en- larging operations have been mani- fested in textile divisions, the auto- mobile industry, iron and steel lines and hides and leathers, among others, and pressure to secure quick deliver- ies has revealed the smallness of available supplies in different chan- nels. After many months of restrict- ed demands, purchasing to replenish depleted stocks and provide for the requirements of a new season is be- coming more prominent.” " Clay County Woman Succumbs in Fargo Fargo, March 17.—(?)—Resident of Clay county for half a century and wife of a prominent farmer near Moorhead, Mrs, Ole P.
