banks in definitely writing off losses and adjusting relations with con- cerns which have been in difficulties is tending to create a much more stable commercial situation than has existed for a good while. If Presi- dent Harding's plans for tax reform can be put into effect without too much delay, the opening of autumn and the realization of the proceeds of abundant crops should combine with the improved situation in gen eral business to start the community toward prosperous conditions. An unfortunate feature of the past week was a small new crop of dividend suspensions of reductions.
 Market Review and Outlook.
 The upward movement of the rails, consequent upon the good news of the governments financing plan, has been in a measure offset by reactions of prices in industrial shares, partic-. ularly in some few position. Weak spots must necessarily crop out oc- casionally under present conditions, but these are gradually growing less and less and the foundation is un- doubtedly being laid for higher prices when the vacation period is over. Plentiful supplies of money are always an incentive for pool managers to advance their favorites and before many months history is bound to repeat itself in this respect. There is no expectation that the market will be anything like a run away affair, but with the outstanding bear account well extended, liquida- ton at an end, low prices for most stocks and, last but not least, easier m oney, there is certainly good ground for believing that the improvement has come to stay and that stocks picked up on moderate recessions hereafter ought eventually to show good profits.

 At different periods she had raised her voice with all the vigor she had. expecting that some time it might be heard and she would be rescued,
 Near Top of Mountain LIT. Stone was within five minutes Climb of the top of the hitherto un- scaled mountain, the goal which he and has wife had set when his own death occurred.
 The accident happened on July 16. MT. and. Mrs. Stone expected to make the climb, rest at the top and then get back to the foot cache that night
 Dr. Stone was clim ping above, hopefully, cheerfully and unhesitat- 1ngly when without word of warn ing, a farewell of any kind not even a sign he plunged over her head to the abyss below.
 Saw His Fatal Fall
 He fell fully 5000 feet in the opin- ion of his wife. She saw the body strike rock, bound from it from cliff to cliff and on down the side of the mountain She began a nasty descent down the cliff in an effort to nGT way down the side of the mountain and when found was 5000 feet below the point were Dr. Stone had fallen.
 Eight Days Without Food r, How Mrs. Stone became marooned on a, ledge of rock she does not know herself. She could proceed neither way Tn that position she spent eight days. She had no food, but during the mid dle of every day when the sun was high tiny stream of melted snow came trickling down, close enough that she could refresh herself. She never gave up the fight. Every day she cried for help and it was because of, this spirit that she eventually was discovered
 Had Presentiment
 pr. Stone seemed to have had a presentiment that the venture might end in disaster. When he and Mrs. Stone departed from camp on Mount Assiniboin, the Matterhorn of the Canadian Rockies, on July IS, they left word that if they did not return in three days a search party should be sent out. The mountain is almost inaccessible. Last year a Wakefield party made an unsuccessful attempt to scale it. They had reached the alti- tude of 9,763 feet, when they came to a stonewal which was impossible to ascend. They had no time to make another attempt, but suggested that an ascent might be made from the southeast end of Mount Glory. With this information Dr. and Mrs. Stone made the effort which ended tragical- ly.

NATIONALIZING OIL
 LANDS NOT LIKELY
Reports From Mexico City Indicate That This Measure Is Not to Be
 Taken Up.

Mexico City, July 30, (By Asso- ciated Press) There is but slight hope that Article 27 of the Mexican constitution, providing for nationali- zation of oil and other natural re- sources, will receive consideration during the present session of congress, according to statements made by leaders in the chamber of deputies to newspapermen last night. They added, however, that they believed the question would be taken up when the regular session opens next Sep tember.
 Indications that the liberal-con- stitutional party still retains it's ma jority in the chamber of deputies were seen last night as a result of the roll call for the election of monthly officers. It was leaders of this party who were credited last Tuesday with declining to grant President Obregon's request for extraordinary powers in revising Article 27. This action was taken although the party claimed k<sx

Constitutionality Admitted.

of the hearing. The only question for the court to decide is: Was the ac- cused violating the statute passed by the last general assembly relative to public service motor vehicles? The constitutionality of the act was not raised. The court was not asked to pass on that phase of the question The only question before the court is whether or not the evidence showed a violation of Section 1 of the act; the court has nothing to do with the making of, the act, but merely with it's interpretation.
 On West Main Street Route.
 "On Saturday, July 23, the accused Joseph Landino operated motor vehicle for one MT. French. It bore a marked O-195, special type of marker issued by the commissioner of motor vehicles. It appears from the evidence offered by the police that the cars were operating over the West Main street route excepting when re- quested by Policemen Lanpher and StSolls to drive to the police station. At other times the terminus was the old jitney station. One policeman testifies that the car made three round trips over the old route in a half an hour; another says that he saw the car go to the end of the. former jitney line and then turn around. Passengers were discharged on the in ward and outward trips and there is evidence to show that only one man had hired the car. There is no evil dence other than that to bring the cars under the taxi ruling.
 Not Taxi July 23.
 ''I wish to make it clear that it is permissible under the law to operate a motor vehicle as a taxi. But, from the evidence presented, O-195 was not a taxi on that day. Clearly, in the opinion of the court he was oper- ating a jitney in violation of Section of the jitney act, 'affording a trans portation service similar to that of fered by street railway company by indiscriminately receiving and dis charging passengers over fixed route.'
 "The act has been violated and I find the . accused, Joseph Landino, guilty

 ....... Taxis Or Jitneys?
 In the original hearing the state contended that the French cars were operating as jitneys but that livery of fees and different markers had been taken. out merely as a subterfuge. The defense maintained that the cars were taxis subject to calls to any part of the city or elsewhere. Policemen Clarence Lanpher and William S. Strolls made the arrests, each hailing a car and paying the 10 cent fare re- ouired. The drivers in both instances took the policemen to headquarters and were then placed under arrest
