DEPRESSION IS AT BOTTOM,
EXPERT SAYS
CLEVELAND, Dec. 9.—The bottom
of the business depression, is at hand,
according to all the “old signs and
symptoms,” and recovery next year
should be expected, Col. Leonard P.
Ayers, vice president of the Cleveland
Trust Company and internationally
prominent business forecaster, said to-
day.
He made this forecast in his annual
address before the Cleveland Cham-
ber of Commerce.
He cautioned, however, that it “is
already clear that we are not war-
ranted in expecting a rapid recovery.
“The purchasing power of an im-
portant part of our population is still
seriously restricted by the paring
down of debts incurred in unsuccess-
ful stock speculation,” he said.
Another reason for a delay in busi-
ness recovery is that although we
have an abundant supply of credit “we
have not developed any new wave of
constructive enterprise, such as canals,
railroads, war materials, highways
and automobiles. These activities have
usually come from “men of courage,
•who took advantage of the low inter-
est rates to float bond issues for fin-
ancing expansion and improvements.
BROWNING SUNDAY SCHOOL
CLASS ENTERTAINS
The Browning Class of the Baptist
Sunday School entertained their hus-
bands on Tuesday evening from 7:30
to 9:30 o’clock with their annual
Christmas party in the Church annex.
Pretty little Christmas trees were

on which hung tiny red and green

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.—Director
General Hines of the veterans’ admin-
istration informed President Hoover
today that 271,210 veterans had ap-
plied for the disability allowance
created by the last Congress and that
out of 99,026 claims passed on ap-
proximately 51 per cent had been al-
lowed.
Hines said Hoover had been deeply
interested in the fact that where em-
ployment was the lightest, the num-
ber of applications for Government
aid had been the largest.
The largest office of the veterans’
administration in New York had 9,-
000 applications, compared with 10,-
000 at Detroit, a much smaller office,
and 13,000 at Louisville, Ky.
The Government on Nov. 30 was
paying benefits, Hines said to 1,095,-
524 persons. Compensation was be-
ing paid to 289,344 and death com-
pensations to 93,238 making a total
of 382,582 persons receiving compen-
sation.
A total of 154,598 persons were
drawing benefits from war risk insur-
ance and 80,032 were receiving bene-
fits from Government converted in-
sui’ance making a total of 163,530 per-
sons receiving benefits from insur-
ance.
Pensions were being paid to 256,-
204 soldiers, 203,753 widows or or-
phans of soldiers and 480 nurses, a
total of 480,437 persons receiving pen-
sions from the Government.
The veterans’ administration was
caring for 31,530 persons in hospitals
and 21,604 in soldiers’ homes, a total
of 53,000 persons being directly car-
ed for by the Government.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.—A tenta-
tive agreement to suspend immigra-
tion for two years was reached to-
day by a house committee.
The immigration committee had not
completed its study of a pending meas-
ure nor finished amending it. But the
members agreed it should suspend im-
migration for two years instead of
five, as would have been provided un-
der the bill introduced by Chairman
Johnson. The bill now conforms to
the Reed proposal in the senate.
Johnson plans legislation to estab-
lish a commission to codify and clar-
ify immigration and naturalization
laws “during the two years” the sus-
pension. measure would be in effect.
While Representative Dickstein;
democrat, New York, ranking minor-
ity member of the committee, indi-
cated he would approve a two-year
suspension, he said restriction for any
longer than that would be “dishon-
est.” And that even the two-year
measure might not be a true repres-
entation of facts.
Dickstein said if the administration
could cut down immigration 84 per
cent in one month, as the committee
has been informed, he could see no
stringent necessity for suspension leg-
islation. Any absolute suspension, he
tween $2,000 and $3,000, after slug- (
ging L. N. Skinner, assistant cashier, j said would be a greater hardship than
and leaving him bound with wire in; benefit.

STATE SENATOR’S SON
IS VICTIM OF BLAST
the vault.
All three of the bandits raced away
in a coupe toward Clute, where the
man held was arrested. Two others
in a car with him escaped into the
woods and were being sought. Blood-
hounds were on their trail.
Mr. Skinner said that when the
bandits discovered the vault door com-
bination was not on and the door would
not close, they hit him on the head
with pistols when he refused to give
the combination. They wired his hands
together and he was left on the floor
when he feigned unconsciousness. He
soon worked loose and notified officers.
A telephone lineman, working near
the bank, saw the holdup, and with
an intrument attached to the wire sent
in a message telling of the robbery
and warning officers immediately.
Mr. Skinner said one of the men
came in and asked:
“Do you cash checks here?”
When Mr. Skinner replied in the
affirmative the man stepped inside
and stuck a gun in his face, Skinner
said. At the same time another man
walked in and drew a gun.
They scooped up the loose change
and ordered Mr. Skinner to open the
vault. It was closed but the combina-
tion was not on, Mr. Skinner said.
“I handed them a roll of bills but
kept back most of the money. The
m^n were in a hurry and didn’t look
inside the vault.”
One of the three men was wait-
ing outside in a coupe and the three
raced away in the direction of Clute,
Mr. Skinner said.
EL PASO, Dec. 9.—Robert Lee, 21,
son of State Senator Oliver Lee of
New Mexico, was probably fatally
injured when a blast of dynamite
wrecked a pool room in Alamogordo,
New Mexico, dispatches received by
the El Paso Times said.
Physicians doubted young Lee would
recover. Four other persons were in-
jured, none seriously.
Deputy Sheriff Lon Danley, who
was investigating the explosion, ex-
presses belief that the blast was set
off by some woman whose son or bus-
band was in the pool hall.

enter the country,” he said.
BLANTON WAR ON FUND AIRED
Daily Leader 3 months for S1.0D
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.—Repre-
sentative Thomas Blanton explained
Tuesday that in raising points of
order Saturday against certain items
in the treasui-y department appropria
tions bill, he did so because thq items
were illegal, and not because he wish-
ed to advance the wet cause.
Mr. Blanton raised a point of order
against allocation of $10,000 for edu
cational work in behalf of prohibi-
tion, and the item was struck from
the bill.
“I resent the action being called a
victory for the wets,” he said.
; “The house record for ^Saturday
shows that the chair sustained my
three points of order knocking from
the bill three different appropriations
of $1,000 each because they were un-
authorized by law.”
