OLD CLUES HAVE LED TO NOTHING They Are Still Being Follow ed But So Far Officials Have Been Able to Get Nothing Sure From Them. Gary. Ind.. April 30.—Hope of solv ing the mystery of the death of the girl whose maimed and burned body was found Sunday near here, was waning today as authorities searched for new clues' while developing the few obtained. The upper half of a woman's lisle stocking and a burned bit of paper bear ing the name ”H. Sclunidr” were found late yesterday by Lux. a police dog which found a partly burned shoe Tuesday and led searchers to a hidden lagoon. Plans to dra : n the lagoon in efforts to find the missing legs and arms of the girl have been abandoned in favor of dredging it. Possible identification of the victim as Mrs. Gertrude Thompson. 27. missing Gary shop girl, may depend on finding the missing arm. Mrs. Thompson had a finger amputated on one hand. The empty gasoline can found near the girl’s body was identified yesterday by Paul Bishop, attendant at a filling sta tion, as one he sold to three men whom he thought he could identify. The men had driven away in the direction of the place where the body was found, he said. None of the 500 persons who viewed the body in a Chesterton morgue, nor in quiries received from Evansville. Ind., and Rockford. 111., shed any light on. identi fication of the*dead girl. FAILURE TO GET DOCTOR LEADS TO DAMAGE SUIT Birth and Death of Baby Causes Couple | to $50,000 of Telephone Company.

Raleigh. April 29.—North Carolina borrowed for 60 days today $6,000,000 from the First National bank of New York and paid $3 for the money. The loan was necessary for state highway work which calls for $3,000,000 Last week the state paid back $;>.000.- 000 which it had borrowed from the special fund, the $3,000,000 for high ways and the $3,000,000 for general purposes ordered at the meeting April 24. but it was desired that the trans action be made before the announcement was made. The governor' thinks that the state has made a good trade and he was pleased when Treasurer Lacy today notified him of the sale of the notes. This will make $21,000,000 which the state is carrying in those notes, but the rate paid for interest is better than, that at which bnds are sold.

Richmond, Ya., April 29. —A favorable business situation and a bright outlook, especially for the textile industry, are reflected in the April review issued by the Federal Reserve Bank of the Fifth District. The reuiew pointed out that ‘‘in late April last year textile mills were run «ning only part time and manufactured goods were accumulating, and very bad weather had delayed all farm work. Iu contrast, it added: “But at present, the cotton mills are operating full time and are selling their output as made, while favorable weather has enabled the farm ers to make all their seasonal prepara tions from ten to twenty days earlier than in 1924.” However, the review pointed out “some unfavorable factors.” describing these as btvng "a scarcity of farm labor and a lack of. funds with which to hire farm hands, higher fertilizer prices than in 1924, a shortage of feeds which forces farmers to buy high priced grain from stock and lack of sufficient orders to keep coal mines busy.” On the other hand, the review said that “favorable factors appear to outweigh the unfavorable ones.” Describing these favorable factors, the review’ continued: y, “Labor is well employed, and therefore the purchasing pow’er of the public con tinues large. i “Retail trade in March was good, com paring favorably with seasonal average and wholesale trade was better in most lines than in March, 1924. “The banks of the District are general ly in a strong position and are able to care for any legitimate credit demands that appear likely to rise. Debits to in dividual accounts prove that a very large volume of business is being done, and commercial failures compare favorably with other years. “Business operations continue in record volume, causing increased activity iu many allfed industries and giving steady employment tq both skilled and unskilled labor. “Finally, the psychological attitude of the public seems to be favorable for a fairly active business year. “There is no disposition to boom bus iness, but there does not appear to be much nervousness of fear of what the next few months have in store.” Police Think Soviets Planned Demonstra tion for Rome.

He dictates* letters. “I see that .very letter is answered,” he said. “Os •ourse, there are a lot of them, but I try to get a personal answer to each one who writes about anything.” The Governor does not hear pardon pleas at the Mansion. He refers these to Commissioner Sink, and when it is necessary for him to take a hand, he calls for Mr. Sink and engages him in a personal conference. He tells Mr. Sink to investigate th;s phase or that and to make a report. Then the pardon commis sioner makes the investigation and re ports. The ball room of the Executive Man sion has been fitted up. On either side of the piano there is a typewriter. The Governor sits at a large table in the cen ter of the room. He personally directs the work of his force there. In front of Governor McLean, in the middle of the table at which he sr.ts, is a large photograph of President Woodrow Wilson. This was presented to Mr. Mc- Lean while he was associated with Mr. Wilson during the war. There is a per sonal greeting written at the bottom of the picture. The words were penned by President Wilson himself, who affixed his signature. It is a sepia likeness.
