Mrs. Graf had suftered a nervous breakdown and a nurse had been in constant attendance. While only her twelve-ycar-old daughter was present, just hefore 7:30 o'clock yesterday morning, the woman seized the scissors and, with a strength for which physicians and police could not account, cut off the hand on which was her wedding ring. nps From Window. Screaming with pain, she flung herself from a window facing Twen- ty-third strcet. She landed on an iron balcony skirting the thira floor, suffering a fracture of the left arm and one leg, severe internal injuries and lacerations of the face and head. The child witness called the hotel manager, while horrified guests suga- moned a policeman, who carried the weman, conscious, into the hotel, and with his coat bound up her mangled wrist., Physicians said this action of the policeman, Joseph Horn of the West 30th street station, probably saved her from bleeding to death be- fore she could reach the hospital, She could give no coherent answers to questions as to why she made the attempt on her life. Hotel employes said she was unable to take meals in the dining room, and suffered from mental disorders to which her family attributed her act. They were so prostrated they could not be seen dur- ing the day. The police made efforts {o communicate with her husband.

Representative 1ordney sald the committee had had reason to helieve that President Harding was not op- pased to the certificate Joan provision written fnto the bill and under which national and statc banks and Lrust | companies, organized under rtate | luws, would be authorlzed to loan- | holders of auch certificates an rmount equal to 50 per cent of the adjusted service pay. Other members of the committee said little or no protest | aguinst this plan had come to them | from bankers and others. It was estimated that the total amount of money that the banks| would be be usked to advance prob- ably would not exceed $500,000,000, If all of the service men elected the certificate option, it was pointed nut, the immediate face value of the cer- tificates would be only $1,660,000,000, or the maximum of the previous es- | timate for the cash bonus. If all the men borrowed from the banks it was said the total advance would not ex- ceed $780,000,000. The certificates, committeemen said, would not be:rediscountable by federal resqpve banks, but could be discounted by banks entitled to make loans on them, so that the smaller banks could obtain funds from larger banks. | | | Supreme Court Uphold Ruling of the Lower Courts Holding Rates of Gas in N.
