SMALLER BANKS STATUSHELD GOOD Utah Financier Says Erd to Emergency Lending Agen- cies Would Help. Br the Associated Press. NEW ORLEANS, November 11.— Small banks of the United States| “have never been in better shape than they are today,” E. G. Bennett, QOgden, Utah, financier, said today as the 61st annual convention of the American Bankers® Association opened | Bennett was highly optimistic over | the future of the ‘“‘country” banks, | but said their progress would be| accelerated if the Federal Government | would abandon emergency lendmg | agencies, which he said “have been continued beyond the depression.” “Banks generally are seeking loans.” Bennett said, “and are taking care of the legitimate needs. In the last| month or two we have noticed a! marked increase in loan inquiriez,| which I think can be attributed to| the increased urge of business to reach out and start going again.” Of the smaller institutions he said. “there has been a tremendous w*¥ amount of housecleaning, which nas helped.” Leo T. Crowley, chairman of the Board of the Feleral Deposit In- gurance Commission. said the Gov- ernment would quit the “banking and mortgage business when the banks | Joosen up.” | J. F. T. O'Connor, controller of the currency, predicted the national bank note soon will disappear. He said most of the Government | bonds against which banks have been authorized to issue their negotiaole notes have been retired and that nearly all the bank notes have been taken up.

Tear whiled away the hours in the Hvatisville Jail today by reading de- tective stories from three mystery thriller magazines brought at his re- quest by his brothers, H. E. and J.| C. Tear of Washington, who visited | the prisoner in his cell. The brothers also brought Tear a handful of cigars. Tear seemed worn after long hours of confinement and worry over the murder of his sweetheart. Early this afternoon Detective Jos- eph Itzel, ace of the Baltimore homi- cide squad, arrived in Hyattsville to assist local police in the investiga- tion. Itzel “broke” the Brady bomb murder mystery in Seat Pleasant, Md., during 1930 The investigator was sent by the Baltimore police commissioner at the | Tequest of State’s Attorney Alan Bowie of Prince Georges County. Itzel spent several hours going over with local police such clues and information as they had already collected since the body was discovered Saturday after- noon. Police said Miss Loring had taken out three insurance policies on her life, totaling about $4.500. They did not know when the policies were taken out or who was named as beneficiary. Bloody Napkin Found. Near the scene of the crime police | Saturday found a blood-stained nap- kin which apparently had been used | to wrap a hamburger sandwich. The | napkin contained at least one thumb‘ print, it was said. !

The tie strings on her blue | coat were wrapped taut twice around the throat, tied in a square knot and a bow under the right ear. Dr. Lavine said two deep wounds on either temple might have been made | by ice tongs in dragging the body into the pines from a spot 50 feet away, where a pool of blood was discovered. At first it was thought the girl had been shot through the temple. The skull was not broken, however. The regular position of the wounds on opposite sides of the forehead sug- gested that they might have been caused by ice tongs. The woods were searched to no avall for some instrument which might have made the wounds. Inquest Postponed. An inquest tentativelv set for to- night was postponed indefinitely until enough evidence can be collected for presentation to the coroner’s jury, which was sworn in over the body at the scene Saturday afternoon.

No specific mention was made in the announcement concerning Har- | vard, Wellesley and Smith’s refusal to join the program. “Snobbery” was Harry L.

A heart attack brought on by news of the murder of his niece, Miss Co- | rinna Loring, proved fatal Saturday | | night to Jacob Van Allen, 59, of 1264 | Oates street northeast, retired mem- | ber of the 13th Engineers Band. Although under a strain since the disappearance of his niece Monday. Van Allen apparently had been in good health until informed of the | brutal killing.

Police said the crowd probably de- “stroyed more clues than they found. Chief Plumer assigned a deputy to the home of the bercaved parents, Mr. | and Mrs. George A. Loring, to shield them from the curiosity of the sight seers and to prevent undue intrusion. “Mrs. Loring, prostrated by the shock _of her daughter’s death, has been un- der the care of a physician since the “tragedy. One of the most puzzling features of the mystery is the fact that Miss Loring seems to have willingly ac- companied the murderer from her Tome. When Mrs. Loring left her -daughter at 8 o'clock Monday night ‘to go to church, the girl was waiting for Tear and did not expect to go out. She had on a light house dress at the time. When the mother returned an hour and a half later, to find .Tear'’s note on the door and her _daughter missing, she learned the girl had changed dresses in the in- ‘terval. Took Off House Dress. Miss Loring had taken off the house | dress, which she tossed across the bed in her room and replaced it witha ‘street dress, over which she drew a | <coat. This indicated clearly, investi- gators said, that Miss Loring changed *her mind about going out shortly after her mother left, and presumably went either with or to meet some one she knew. ‘There was no indication Miss Lor- ~Ing had been criminally attacked.

The sorrowing father told reporters he had not the faintest idea of who might have had a grudge against his daughter. She was a quiet and de- mure “home girl” a church-goer and part-time Sunday school teacher, who had gone about with men less than the usual girl of her age. The father said he had not the least objection to the match between his daughter and Tear. It was said, how- ever, that the mother's opposition to the marriage prompted the young couple to move up their wedding date several months in order to avoid any possible interference with their plans. Put Deposit on Apartment, Tear had bought the wedding riug and the two had paid a deposit on an apartment in the 2400 block of Newton street northeast, where they had moved in some furniture and expect>d to add to it in a week or so. Loring said, “I can't imagine who could have had any reason to kill my daughter. I never even suspected she had an enemy in the world. While I know very little of her business, since I have been working in Cam- bridge for several years, I am certain that she was a quiet girl who never interfered in the affairs of ancther.” “I never opposed her marriage to Tear, although I understand there were some family difficulties on the subject.” Georgic Porgic, pudding and pie Sat and heard his motor die; - His battery’s tired—his starter toils For he didn’t change to winter oilsl §&~ Change now to GULFLUBE WINTER GRADE uoroz oz Q5¢ Watch for a wew Gulf Jingle every other doy COMPANY bride-to-be had disappeared.

SLAIN BRIDE-Tn-PF DECLARED DILIGENT Miss Corinna Loring Said to Have Been Hard-Working Stenog- rapher. Miss Corinna Loring, murdered pub- lic stenographer, never figured in “anything exciting,” associates re- called today. An unusually efficient employe, the Mount Rainier girl had never mixed business with pleasure and planned to work up to the last minute before her scheduled marriage last Wednes- day. Wilmer Ray, official of the Ameri- can-La France & Foamite Industries, Inc, fire apparatus manufacturers, with offices at 1343 H street, where | Miss Loring worked part time along | with her public stenographic duties, | was probably the last person to see | the girl before she left for home Monday, the day she disappeared. “Miss Loring was still at work when a guart I left shortly before 5 o'clock,” Ray | said. “She appeared very happy over her forthcoming marriage and in- tended to come to work Tuesday. She | was going to stay off a few days and report back today. She didn't discuss any honeymoon plans.” Miss Loring had worked in Ray’s office about two weeks. Before that she had an office at 1315 H street. H. R. Howenstein, real estate oper- ator, who knew the girl when her offices adjoined those of his firm, de- scrived her as a hard worker who never had personal callers during of- fice hours. “She was not the type of person you would cannect with anything ex- citing,” Howenstein said. “She was all business and used to take dictation by the hour. She was a quiet girl with excellent habits.” The Foening Sfar by your business sta- tionery. Engraved Business Stationery creates business esteem—is a good-will builder and mirrors your success.
