FINANCIAL NEWS
AND COMMENT
In Second Largest Short Ses-
son OF Year Stacks Gain
Fraction to 3 Points.

The second largest two hour trading
OF this year. was recorded In yestsr-
days short sess.on IN the New YorA
stock Exchange with net gains Of a
fraction to 3 points throughout the ac-
tive list. Not since April so had there
been SO large q Saturday. but this time
the activity was on the constructive side.
Last April the market was in tho midst
OF hearish trend. Although oils and
equipments featured the trading. the ad-
vance was confined to no particular de-
partment. There was no reaction worthy
or the name, but profit taking in the last
fifteen minutes accounted for tho closing,
In some cases. being below tho days
highest. The most important construc-
tive factor was the testimony OF the
weekly trade reviews showing large
strides in the direction of general busI-
ness Improvement with Fundamental
and basic conditions more favorable than
they have been at any time in months,
with the slight loss in Reserve bank
reserve ratio. due largely to excessive
use OF currency over Labor Day. finan-
ciers have organized pools. which have
made 1t uncomfortable for bearish In
terests. and which have been partly re-
sponsible for the advances scored during
the last week. The action Of the market
has been so consistently bullish that
fu 70 a n<f lot
pnted early this week. Nevertheless II
has been well demonstrated that the easy
money to be made rrom selling stocks
short Is about dissipated. In fact. It Is
clear that the gains have not been due
entirely to q furry engineered by pool
and professional activity.
Tho United States Steel Corporation.
aided by the check administered to the
sharp, declines in untitled tonnage. was
a bulwark OF strength, rising to 10 for a
net gain OF ~ points. Mexican Petro-
loum. with net gain OF moro than 3
points. and Baldwin with rise OF 8
points shared with Steel in the markets
leadership. In the first hour trading
was at the rate OF 100000 shares n
day. The momentum was not so great
in the last hour, but q volume of $50. 900
shares was done In two hours. giving
promise OF the restoration OF million
share days The rise in stocks was con-.
comitant with further gain In cotton
quotations and in bond prices. Wheat
was also arm.
In foreign exchange the feature was
the drop in marks to .9sN Of cent. a
new low record. On the other hand ster-
ling advanced substantially and closed
above s3.7l. Elsewhere the foreign ex-
change market was quiet.
The strength In cotton was partly due
to damage through floods In Texas.

heard them at different places as the
climax Of their histrionic attainments.
That each individual part and the
play as a whole was well done was
evidenced by the enthusiasm Of the au-
dience. Mr.. Cushman in the drunken
scene was an especial favorite.

JURY Brings in
VERDICT OF GUILTY
JURY FINDS MRS. LYDIA SOUTH
ARD GUILTY OF SECOND
DEGREE MURDER

Twin Falls-(By A. P)-Mrs; LYDIA
Southland was convicted of second de-
gree murder in connection with the
death of Edward F. Meyer, her fourth
husband, when the jury brought in
it's verdict Friday afternoon after a
deliberation of 23 hours. Second de
gree murder is punishable under the
Idaho state criminal statutes with
Imprisonment in the state peniten-
tiary from 10 years to life sentence.
The verdict came as the final con-
clusiOn of one of the most sensa-
tional murder trials in the history of
southern Idaho. While Mrs. South
ard was convicted of the second de-
gree murder of her fourth husband,
it has been alleged that she killed
three former husbands and a brother
in-law. Her fifth husband, Southard,
petty officer in the United States
navy, was with the feminine blue
beard" when the foreman of the jury
pronounced the verdict of guilty. Her
fifth husband, who has stoutly msiIl-
tanned through the trial that she is
innocent, announced that the verdict
of the jury had not changed his con-
viction.
Mrs. LYDIA Southard, according to
the evidence, killed her fourth hus
band with arsenic to recover on his
insurance policy of $4,000. The
three other husbands and the brother
in-law, all heavy insurance holders,
are believed to have died from arsenic
poisoning.

somewhat by the freight rates, but we
believe that this will be adjusted

which is paid out in salaries, and we
expect that we will be paying out
double this sum by next summer"

meeting: Boyd w. Cornelison, II,
chairman; A. Pittman Atwood, 20,
Miss J. Annett McCallie, '19. The
plan is to create an organization with
the former Idaho students now living
In Lewiston in order that support for
the activities Of the university may
not be lacking when Lewiston is
called upon.
Many alumni organizations of this
sort have grown up within the state
in the past five years it was pointed
,ut, and 1t is hoped that Lewiston
with her large number of former
students and her close proximity to
he university may have one of the
most aggressive and wideawake orr
yanizations within the state. By the
beginning of the new year it is be-
ieved that the organization will have
seen perfected.
