BUSINESS LEVEL IN. | NORTHWEST SHOWS STEADY INCREASES Banks Note Greatest Seasonal, Advance in Loans to Cus- tomers Since 1929 Minneapolis, Minn., Sept. 30.—(?)— Business in the ninth federal reserve district continued to run at a consider- j ably higher level than a year ago, with a notable advance recorded dur- ing August over business levels of July, the Minneapolis Federal Re- serve Bank reported Monday in its monthly review. Increases were recorded in both city and farm center bank debits, de- partment store sales, country check clearings and other business indexes, the survey revealed, while retail trade, both at larger cities and in small communities of the district was larger in August than in the same month last year. City member banks in the district, | which includes Minnesota, North and | South Dakota, Montana and sections | of Wisconsin and Michigan, experi- enced the greatest season advances in loans to customers “since the very abnormal increase in 1929,” the bank reported. Loans, however, are only slightly higher than a year ago, due to the low level from which they rose. From May of this year, when consumers’ loans amounted to $135,000,000, there has been an increase to $159,000,000 | on Sept. 18, an advance of $24.000,000 or 18 per cent, the bank stated. Deposits of city member banks in- creased $14,000,000 during August and &@ week in September, due to several season movements, while deposits due to country banks increased $10,000,000. | Increases were recorded in commer- cial demands, municipal and U. 8.) government deposits, PROBE IN DEATH OF EVELYN HOEY ASKED, Conduct of Coroner’s Jury inj Investigation .of Farm- house Tragedy Sought | | West Chester, Pa., Sept. 30.—(#)— William E. Parke, Chester county district attorney, presented a peti- tion to the county court Monday asking for an investigation of the death of Evelyn Hoey, Broadway mus- ical comedy singer and friend of Henry Huddleston Rogers, 30, oi) for- tune heir. Parke said he wants the death of Miss Hoey investigated and also ask- ed that the grand jurors inquire into “the conduct of certain members of the coroner’s: jury” and of “certain persons who were in contact with the coroner’s jurors.” He pointed out the inquest verdict found Miss Hoey died in Rogers’ country home Sept. 11 “at the hands ‘of a person or persons unknown.” “This,” he said, “is an indication they felt a homicide had been com- mitted.” Charles W. Frame, foreman of the coroner’s jury, said after the inquest, “it would only take a grand jury five minutes to find it was suicide.” Rogers and William J. Kelley, his friend, were freed after the inquest, but Rogers and his counsel demand- ed some action to clear them of suspicion and offered to cooperate in @ grand jury investigation. A bullet killed the stage and screen singer in the Rogers farmhouse, and physicians testified there were pow- der marks imbedded in her scalp at the point of the bullet’s entry.
