The evening world. Newspaper, February 25, 1922, Page 4

It was very evident this morning that the reaction in the market yester- day was due to nothing more than technical conditions. With the ex- ception of the independent steels and the coppers, which have long been neglected, every group was in persistent demand. Yt was also clear that yesterday's re- action in grains, cotton and the for- eign exchange markets was the re- sult of technical conditions, and that the position of these markets had thereby become improved. Wheat rose ‘two cents a bushel, making {ts net advance for the week more than four cents, cotton rose on an average about $1.50 a dale, while in the foreign exchange market demand sterling got very close to $4.41 for a net gain of two cents. In the two-hour session to-day there was the samo kind of insistent buy- ing of railroad stocks that has been 0 much In evidence recently. and several of the leaders were able to LLOVD GEORGE URGES AMERICA’S PLANS UPON POINCARE (Continued From First Page.) reflected in the communication sent abroad. Mr. Hoover wrote three days ago an address the significance of which was overlooked. Most of this speech was not reported in the press. Mr. Hoover said: “The well-being of the Continent ts indeed a matter of concern to us. We have a desire to help. But before our strength can be employed toward eco- nomic stability, a foundation of pollt- ical stability must first be obtained. “Economic stability cannot be cre- ated in an atmosphere of alarms and threats of political actions and {ts pos- sibilities of war, Economic strength has not yet been built of armies, “"ghe Washington Conference his} eliminated the malign political force betwoen the great group of nations with which we were directly involved, and {t secured a limitation on arms in this group. It must be our wish that other great groups of nations where we have less direct interest should take up the same processes. We have Ihim on the table, which was immedi- register new high marks for the year, The movement war helped, not only by the strength of commo- dities but by a statement on Idie cars which showed a sharp decrease during the past fortnight Republic Steel and Crucible touched new low marks for the year, and mercurial Gulf States Steel re- ceded 3 points, but Bethlehem Steel and United States Steel were conspicuously firm. Motor stocks closely rivalled rails tn point of strength. Studebaker pushed up to a new high for the year and Chandler also was in strong demand. The action of textile stocks, chem- icals, olls and moat other indus- trials all suggested that the line of least resistance is upward. The statement of condition of Clear- ing House banks issued after the close as decidedly favorable. It showed an increase in surplus of $46,401,000 and a decrease in loans of $25,725,000. “BLUEBEARD” LANDRU GOES 10 GUILLOTINE FOR SLAYING OF 11 (Continued From First Page.) through publication of his portrait during the process of his trial, had been trimmed; his head was shaved, and his neck and face were deathly pale. He walked exactly five steps before the executioner’s assistants caught him around the waist and levelled ately upended; the heavily weighted knife slid down, and the whole affair was over in less than twenty seconds, Landru never faltered from the time he appeared tn the door; he gave the guillotine one look, squared his shoul- ders and walked erect, uttering not a word.

Landru was accused of murdering no problem of land armies. These; ten women and a boy and suspected political difficulties In Europe which breed armament with its train of economic jeopardy arise from causes in which we do not participate. They do not affect us in their results. We find ourselves much torn between an earnest wish to be of service and a rightful desire to keep ourselves free from matters to which we are not @ party and which we cannot remedy, participation in which would never. theless undermine our strength, our influence and our ability to render real service in the future. The Wash- ington Conference found some solu- tion to excessive naval armament and the political crisis that gave rise to it. “All America hopes that the Con- tinent of Europe can enter upon those steps which will lead to a reduction of her land armament and thus lay the foundations upon which economic reconstruction can be safely built. “There must be a great recall to reason or Europe may join Russia through economic degeneration. Such « recall might prove to be comparable | im good with the Washington Confer- ence in {ts contribution to political | stability and its effect upon economic | rogress. “The limitation of land armament and the mitigation of malign forces) in Europe would indeed be a com- panion pier to the accomplishment in naval limitation at the Washington Conference. I believe that America, out of her own interest, would join her economic strength to butld the Span on these firm piers so vital for economic progress. Without this foundation there is little for America to build upon; with this foundation America will not fail to do her part."* Mr. Hoover's views carry added weight since it was announced that he would be a member of President Hard- ing’s commission to fund the Allied war debt, There is every reason to believe that Great Britain Is in thor- ough accord with the policy of the United States, and is endeavoring to persuade France to join in « confer- ence which shall assure Europe egainst military aggression by any of its component parts. Some time ago a proposal was made that France, Belgium, Great Britain and Italy should sign a four-power pact sim!- lar to that signed at Washington, but guaranteeing that all nations should ome to the aid of the other in case of unprovoked aggression. It was sug- gested also that Germany herself be included in the treaty, so that she would be pledged against undertaking offensive measures, The argument is being made in British quarters that such a treaty would be wholly in line with the ef- forts of the League of Nations to pro- mote peace and would ut the same time constitute a regional understand- ing supplementary to the League of Nations, While the League is wying to solve the question of land arma- ment, a direct agreement between the natfona having the largest armies would in the view of officials here be @ quicker way to achieve results Prime Minister Lloyd George knows that unless Europe gives evidence either through the League of Nations or four power pacts of a genuine in- tent to put its own house in order, America must remain indifferent to the pleas of Europe for economic ald. ‘Until Europe ceases spending money for the maintenance of armies Amer- fea doesn’t see why any assistance should be given her former allies in ‘the matter of refunding the Allied war debt. The key to the situation to-day, therefore, is the secret conference bi ‘tween Prime Minister Lloyd George aad Premier Poincare. appeared to him the euslest way to obtain money. All his victims were of having killed other women. He was urrested in 1919. It was alleged that his killing of women either ufter they had gone through a marriage ceremony with him, or expected to become his bride, began in the sum- mer of 1915. Landru at the time had a wife and several children, It is said he became the betrothed of 283 women ranging from sixteen to sixty years. Born in Paris in 1869 he received a good edu- cation and selected the career of u mechanical engineer. He served six terms in French prisons for fraud be- fore he turned his uttention to the murder of women as what must have robbed. The attention of the police was di- rected to Landru through a letter to the Mayor of Gambais, inquiring about a Madame Buisson. Investiga- tion showed that there had been a juccession of women going to the small villa he occupied, They were seen to enter It but never seen to de- part. There were stories of strange noises and fires that burned all night, even at a time of year when no fire was needed, SS HORSE IS DEFENDED BY HORSE ASSOCIATION Cheaper Than Auto Track in City Work—Dr. Harris, Opposed. ‘The Horse Association of America has entered its*proteat against the proposal Just made by Dr. John A. Harriss, Spe- cial Deputy Police Commissioner of New York in Charge of Traffic, in which he stated that he believed a law should be passed putting an end to the use of horses in Manhattan in 1925. Wayne Dinsmore, Secretary of the Horse Association, declared such a Proposition would be futile and would work Kreat hardship on business houses in New York which are now placing horses on hauls within the ten-mile radius. “Concerning the congestion of traf- fic," Mr. Dinsmore sald, ‘business men in New York know that it is ridiculous to talk of ‘speeding up’ traffic by the elimination of the horse. Recently Wes- ley M. Oler jr., in charge of the trans- portation of one of New York's larg ice companies, stated that the elimina- tion of the horse would not result in greater speed, it would only cause more congestion. ‘As 4 matter of fact,’ Mr. Oler said, ‘we can make better time in the downtown districts with a team thun with @ motor truck and tn actual delivery work there 1s no comparison between the two," “Statistics show that without exeep- tion horses are the cheapest to operate, the longest to live and th» easiest to handle on all short hauls in cities where frequent stops and deliveries are made within # radius of ten miles from the heart of the city pa aE BOTH PARENTS KILLED CHILD ADOPTED HERE Friends of Victims of Washingion Theatre Disaster Take Little G Ruth Gladys Alma Lehmer, five-year- old daughter of Mr. and Mrs, Leroy L.
