WALL Street

Pressure against stock prices was
resumed again to-day by profession Al
bears. and while a somewhat un-
settled tone resulted. the market was
at no time what might properly be
described as weak. IL was a notable
feature OF the trading that evOry
time bearish pressure was suspended.
, stocks rallied quite easily
Most pressure was exerted against
the rails. This was due to the fact
that they have temporarily become
what Is known as ''overbought." and
their technical position has thereby
been weakened. Missouri. Kansas g.
Texas soon showed a loss OF two
points, and this encouraged selling
OF other low priced issues which re-
corded. declines ranging from sub
stantfaf fractions to more than a
point. -.
There was an attempt to make bear
capital out OF the fact that belated
borrowers OF money yesterday had to
pay per cent. for accommodations,
but this had little or no effect. The
renewal rate to-day was again 7 per
cent. and while It is admitted in high
banking quarters that the average re-
serve ratio OF the twelve Federal Re-
serve Banks might soon establish a
new low record. and may in fact fall
below 40 per cent, the opinion is be-
coming more more and more fixed
that there will not be a serious money
crisis. Most shrewd judges profess to
believe that the stock market has
discounted the most serious phases Of
the money situation.
Exceptions, might be made OF GER
tain companies. shat are carrying large
inventories and that have experienced
great difficulty in securing adequate
banking accommodations. This is
true OF many leather companies. II
has become necessary for these COM
panies to mark down inventories
very radically. ana this heavy re-
duction in inventory value has had to
be charged against current earnings.
Central Leather and American Hide
and Leather we're pressed for sale in
to- days market on this account.
Steel issues receded slightly in
sympathy with the unsettlement
shown in other parts OF the list. The
Iron Age reports that buyers are
holding aloof from the steel market
in anticipation OF reduction an price
schedules, but that all companies
have such heavy totals of untitled or
ders that price reductions in the inn
mediate future appear improbable.
The commodity markets displayed
firmer tone. Wheat at one time
showed n gain of cents per bushel,
and corn a gain OF 2 cents. Cotton in
initial trading showed q loss of
nearly So per bale, but before the
noon hour this was converted into a
small gain. Foreign exchange rates
were slightly lower.

CHAPTER XII.

The reporters who had gone to the
District Attorneys office Saturday
night were, of course, looking for
news about the story which had neen
printed that afternoon. Mrs. OCon-
nor had been besieged by representa-
tives OF the press during the entire
evening. but she was able TO make
no comment except that her son was
innocent. Efforts to locate Miss
Billingsley, particularly those made
by her own paper, had also been
fruitless, and the newspaper, men,
who-had become one large gl.Nuo by

trict Attorney as the only person
competent to give out any accurate
information. They had tracked him
to his office and, upon his refusal 10
speak, had remained in the hallway
until ordered TO move by the Gotec
lives. Finally, when early press time
was approaching, they went 10 a,

CANT. SHIPMENTS
PASS 1900 MARK
Car Shortage Results in Pro-
rating; Shipments AimOs!
Double Those of Last Year
At This Time Is Report.

Shipments of cantaloupes from the
valley exceeded today the $500 mark.
Owing to the serious car shortage the
shippers have agreed to ship not
more than $50 cars day.
This years shipment far exceeds
last years up to date. Last year al
this time they had shipped 1441 cars
of cantaloupes, while this years total
1868 cars. This increase is due to a
large increase in production and
means that more are being shipped
to outside points owing to increased
demand The situation in regards to
car shortage is expected to continue
for at least ten days, when it is
thought that there will be plenty of
cars.
Yesterday the shipments were 259
cars, the reason for going over the
$50 was that there We're few cars
left over from the day before and they
were sent out yeStrdaY.

NO MAN FA|NT IS
WHEN CASE is WON
Thinks Judge Has GiUen Decis-
ion for Other Side; Sensa-
tiOndI Charges Made BY
Both Husband and Wife.

Just as Judge Phil D. Swing was
giving his decision in the case Of Min
,nie Roderick, Portuguese woman,
versus Moses Roderick, also a Portu-
guese and her former husband, as to
who was to have the care of their three
year old child, Mrs. Roderick tainted.
Mrs. Roderick heard the judge say
'If this woman is guilty of said charge
she is unfit to take the child" and
thinking that was his decision she
tainted.
But the judge finished and said he
did not think she was guilty of the
charges and so gave her the child
to keep.
The case was hotly contested by
both sides, the husband claiming that
Mrs. Roderick was an immoral woman
and very unfit to take the child and
Mrs. Roderick claimed that her former
husband was a degenerate and wholly
unable to properly care for the boy.
The court upheld the wife and there
was not sufficient evidence to prove
ANYTHING against her.

SOPT. CRONHOLM
CI VEN A RAISE

Denia! MGde TO Story That
His Resignation Is In Hands
Of B0ard of Directors of I'm
periGi irrigation District.

The direct denial to stories that
River superintendent. +. N. Cronholm
has placed his resignation in the hands
of the board Of directors of the irri-
cation district effective June Is, was
made today by irrigation officials who
pointed out that only Tuesday his pay
was raised to $500 a month.
Director McPherrir made the motion
which was seconded by Director
Brown.
1t has been known for some time
that Mr.. Cr6nholm was not satisfied
with the way things were going, par
ticularly as to olIeged friction be-
tween the valley and river divisions
and Was willing to leave at any time.
Mr.. Nickelson is said to have told
him that he was taking orders from
the board Of directors and that he was
to continue in office until the present
crisis is past.
Mr.. Cronholm was placed in an en-
bairassing position less than a month
ago when the Ockerson levee was
turned over to him. This had not been
kept up previously and Mr.. Cronholm
was not given ample time to repair
it before the big flood caught them
prematurely and the levee snapped.
Members of the board of directors have
congratulated him ON holding as much
Of the levee as he has.

EARTHQUAKES IN
ISLANDS CONTINUE
CBy Associated Press)


PAPETTE, Tahiti, June 9.-Earth-
quakes which have shaken the islands
of Tahiti, Moorea and Mehetia without
more than week or two intervals
since the autumn of 1918, still con-
tinueapd have increased IN frequency
and strength. Of late there have been
on an average of two or three day
usually in the early hours before dawn
A recent but unconfirmed report
affilms that the island OF Tubuai
about 400 miles to the south of Tahiti,
is also shaking.
This, it is held, would tend to con-
firm the theory that the source of the
disturbance is a submarine outbreak
somewhere to the south and west, IN
that part of the Pacific where surface
indications would never be seen.

Desmond AYERS that he is Yates

points upon which they are to decide
their respective prowess; first, force
march from Los Angeles to Santa Bar
bara; second. rifle and bayonet; third,
foils; and fourth, single stick.
He desires this test to take place
after the cantaloupe season.
Friends of Yates this morning were
inclined to discount the story Of Des.
mond about Yates boasting of service
in France as they assert that he is a
quiet youth and rarely ever pushes
himself to the front.
According to Desmond the fact that
he was a regular soldier years age
and knew something about the army
made him unable to stand what he
terms the brayado of the local youth.

HUGE AMOUNT
INDICATES
WEALTH Of
VALLEY
Two Hundred Seventy-Nine
Cars of Cantaloupes; Two
Trains of Livestock; The
Greatest One Day Total in
History.

For the first time in its history
yesterday Imperial valley shipped
products to gross total of better
than $1,G00,O00. This record of ship
ments of $1,00O,00 daily is believed
to top all records for the state of
California in production of agricul-
tural wealth.
According to I. T. Sparks, division
freight and passenger agent for the
Southern Pacific railroad, shipments
to make up this huge amount were as
follows
279 cars of cantaloupes.
81 cars of livestock.
% cars Of watermelons.
10 cars of cotton.
60 cars of barley.
4 cars of wheat.
10 cars of tomatoes.
10 cars of hay.
5 cars of onions.
This grant total of 491 carloads to
leave the valley in one day was shipped
in nine trains as follows: Four trains
cantaloupes, two trains livestock. one
train barley, one train dead weight
freight and one train of miscellaneous.
During the past few days the grand
total of products shipped closely ap-
preached the million mark but at no
time did it actually reach it. Never
in the history of the valley has there
been such tremendous shipments of
produce. If the car shortage was not
such a reality, it is freely predicted
that cantaloupe shipments would to-
tai 400 carloads daily.
The diversified nature of the pro-
duce today attracted considerable at
tention. There were vegetables, live
stock, cotton and such strictly ranch
products as hay, barley and wheat, in
dicating the productiveness of the val
ley and the adaptability with which
nearly everything grows here
