making purposes ths southwest

hearing the work of the men, fired
his gun for help.
The yegginen are believed to have
come from Houston.
Sneaking into the small town they
'found the night watchman at the

they ‘slipped a handkerchief in his
mouth for a gag and then blind-
folded him, and tleing his hands be-

carried him to the bank a half block"
The yepsmen, leaving two on the
outside to keep watch, forced a side
window, and taking the watchman
with them, entered the bank. .
WASHINGTON, Nov. 7. ()- Mate-
rial conditions of living for ths
American people during the last
year have been the “highest in nil
history," Secretary Hoover declared
today in sn economic review made
public as part of the annual report
of the commerce department.
Factors listed by the secretary aa
contributing to this condition in-
cuded a practically complete ab-
sence of unemployment, high wages,
e'ficlent operation and equitable
balance of prices—asamong the
greater producing groups of the
population and a gradual return to
stable currency and normal bust-
nose operations among ‘the nations
abroad.
Mr. Hoover’s review took In the
banking situation, and noted the in-
vestment abroad by Americans dur-
ing ths year ending June 30, 1925,
of $1,382,000,000 and the net gold ex.
port from the country of $115,000,-
000 as further contributions to gen-
eral stability. -
Ths “greatest volume of construe-
tion operations on record," was also
proceeding internally in the United
States representing an investment
for the year of $6,000,000,000 and the
secretary noted the results as "for
the most part well calculated to
meet the permanent and growing
needs of the nation."
Illustration of the situation by
index figures Mr. Hoover's review
Mid thst. taking 1919 output as 100
during the fiscal year 1925 manu-
facturing production in the country
was 118; mineral production 124;
railroad freight haulage 110: fac-
tory employment 82, and building
contracts let were 111. Retail sales
on.the average showed 4a. substan-
tlal gain over 1919,
Considering prices of 1913 as 100
retail food costs for 1925 were found
to be 150 and the general cost of
living to be 172. Farm products had

AGED COLORADO DOCTOR
LITTLETON, Colo, Nov. w. (
After placing only six witnesses on
the stand the state rested today in
the case of Dr. Harold Elmer Blazer,
charged with the murder of his
daughter. Hazel, the 34-year old
"child woman."
Joel Stone, prosecutor, rested the
ease-with dramatic suddenness after
er Dr. Ceorge A. Moleen, Denver
physician and alienist, declared
Blazer’s insanity was "probably
simulated" and caused either by "an
opiate or chloroform ''
"An opiate could have, caused the
apparent Imbecile stupor In which
Dr. Blaser was found following the
crime," Moleen testified. ,
—“Could—the—stupor—have—been
caused by insanity?" the prosecutor
asked.
"Not ordinarily—rarely ever. In
fact, except in extremely advanced
cases,” he replied.
"What caused this stupor?”
"Either an opiate or chloreform,"
he said. “This,however, is just my
h3 pothesis after studying the case.”

thorities in order that there may
be "more punch" in law enforce-
ment, "more speed and understand-
ing la permissive work" snd as
avoidance of overlapping of duties.
Explaining the recent reorganiza-
tion of ths federal enforcement ma-
chinery, Mr. Andrews said he be-
lieved important progress had been
made in the direction of better en-
forcement. He emphasized that It.
was his policy to fight vigorously
the big operators in the illegitimate
liquor traffic and at the same time
to protect in every way the legiti-
mate industry in its use of Indus-
trial alcohol or production of ce-
real beverages € .
"The public is constantly holding
the prohibition forces responsible
for the enforcement of the prohibi-
tion laws," Mr. Andrews continued.
"We are not alone responsible. And
a public realisation of this fact
to vital to their successful enforce-
ment.
Duty Two Feld
“In reality the treasury can do
little without the full support and
prompt carry-through of the judi-
clal machinery. Our duty to two
fold—to collect the evidence of law
violation and present It to the dis-
trict attorney to supervise and reg-
ulate the source of supply for legit,
imate traffic as well as prevent the
use of these sources of illegitimate
traffic. In bulb these phases of
our work success depends upon the
prompt sympathetic action of the
judicial machinery.
"We share with the department
of justice the responsibility for this
law enforcement. It is essential
therefore that public opinion be fo-
eussed upon the work of the dis-
trlet attorneys and the judges as
well as upon the work of the prohi-
bition agents * * *.
"This brings me directly to the
reason for my presence here today.
It is very clear to me that the sue-
cessful outcome ut this prohibition
law demands on the part of all or.
ganizations Interested in commu-
nity welfare as affected by prohi-
bition that they seriously and vig-
orously resume the campaign de-
signed to bring about,a Mate of
mind in the communities which not
only believe in prohibition, but la.
sist upon its observance and en-
forcement, particularly by those
holding public offices.''

"la there a soul In the body of a
speechless, malformed imbecile?"
“Is there ever any justification
for taking human life?"
These questions and more of a
kindred nature pressed onward to a
definite legal answer today as the
state continued to place its wit-
nesses on the stand in the case of
Dr. Harold Elmer Blaser, who is on
trial ter the slay big of the "child-
woman,” who never grew up—his
34-year old daughter, Hasel.
With the background a picture of
a. helpless cripple, painted in words
by witnesses yesterday the Mats to-
day planned to call to the stand ex-
pert witnesses to prove the sanity
of the aged pexsilan. whose de-
fense in part is temporary insanity.
Blazer’s ples of insanity, however,
is coupled with others—thst ths
"thing” he slew had no soul and
that It was no crime to remove it”
as s burden to the.Blaser family.
"It waa cold blooded murder,”
Joel Stone, prosecuting attorney, de-
elared in his opening statement to
tbs jury yesterday. "And it was
done with malice aforethought."
la support of his contention he of-
fered In evidence two letters which
the state maintains were written by
Blazer to explain his action, which
apparently contemplated the slay-
ing of his daughter and then suleide
and to direct the disposition of the
bodies and his property .
