Chicago Crime to Serve No
tice Girls Cannot Be
Taken From Ring Safely
Is Authorities' Theory
CHICAGO. Aug. 3o (AP) A theory
that vice rocketeers killed He-rbert
W. Lee to avoid losing a blonde
"meal ticket" was projected today by
Investigators as the motive for his
mysterious moonlight slaying In
Grant pork.
Two vice operators whose names
polloe would not divulge were nuntea
as the slayers of Lee, shot to death
while strolling In the parlk early
Sunday morning with Grace Snyder,
33 -year-old blonde.
Lieut. Thomas P. Kelly, chief In-
vestigator for the state's attorney's
ofrice, said he believed the slayers
were angered because Miss Snyder
Intended to marry Lee, her compan
ion on night life tours for a month.
Kept Mail Tlrket
"We believe they decided not to
lose a good meal ticket," said Lieu
tenant Kelly. "So they followed Lee
and the girl to the park ard shot
him down after slapping ner."
Mlas Snyder said one of the men
slapped her in the face while the
other shot Lee. Investigators con
sidered the slap significant lnaa
much as the slayers made no attetifpt
to rob Lee.
Lieutenant Kelly said the slayers
not only wanted to prevent Mlas Sny
der from marrying Lee but also
might have killed her escort "to show
outsiders cannot take girls away
from the ring and be safe."
Victim Under Alias
Until his death Lee had been
known as Robert P. Burns, respect
able business man In suburban Bv-
anston. Mrs. Theresa Welch brod,t,
Assistant State's Attorney Harry Pos
ner said, admitted having lived with
him as his wife. She- disclosed he
adopted the alias after he abandoned
a wife and son In Detroit nine years
ago.
Mlas Snyder was held In custody
under $100,000 bond. Judge Michael
L. McKtnley said he fixed a high
bond figure because the woman "re
fuses to co-operate" In solving "a
murder committed Just about 50 feet
from the busiest thoroughfare In
America." The scene of the slaying
waa near Michigan avenue.

More and bigger shiploads of Pacific
coast lumber paraded through the
Panama canal last month than in any
month In years.
Panama canal authorities checked
300,307 tons of lumber from Pacific
ports during July most of It bound
for the Atlantic coast. The July ship
ments were up substantially from
June's 148,116 tons, and farther a till
ahead of the July 1036 run or 132,
886 tons.
Trade reports tell of strong buying
on the Atlantic seaboard, and of heavy
movement on old orders. For some
time after breaking the Ice of the
maritime strike In February the lum
ber shippers had a hard time getting
space on the crowded Intercoastal
ships. Lately the rush of general
trafflo has subsided, and the lumber
trade has taken advantage of the
lull to make delivery on a heavy file
of orders.

MARKET OUTLOOK FOR
ILK, MEAT AND EGGS
GOOD FOR NEXT YEAH
CORVALLIS, Aug. 26. (Jp) The
market outlook for milk, meat and
eggs next year la promising despite
probable Increases In production, the
Oregon State college extension service
said today In Its summer review of
the livestock and poultry Industries.
Consumer demand has strengthen
ed materially In the past year, the
report stated.
Hogs, sheep and beef cattle show
most evidence of Increased produc
tion as long as feed production Is
average or better. The trend of egg
production Is expected to be sub
stantially lower and milk slightly
lower.
A large quantity of soft red and
white wheats will be available for ex
port during the marketing year of
1037-38, probably as much as 176,
000,000 bushels. The world wheat
situation is such, however, that for
eign demand will probably take the
bulk of this surplus, the review con-,
tlnued. The carryover next July Is
expected to be larger than this year.
The current wheat prices are likely
to encourage farmers to plant more
wheat, the report said. Even this
year's seeded acreage, including the
fall plantings of 1036 and spring
plantings of 1037, were the largest In
the history of the country, amount
ing to 81,000.000 acres compared with
the five-year average of 67,000,000
acres from 1028 to 1032.
