MEXICAN PETE WAS
THE WHOLE SHOW
Squeeze Of Shorts Sent That
Volatile Issue Up 7
Points

New York. June 10.--It came near
being one stock market today. Like
some of the comedians in n musical
comedy Mexican Petroleum tried to hog
the whole show. With that stock loan
ing at a premium of 80 per cent the
powerful clique behind that ever vola-
tile issue made life miserable for the
shorts by forcing the price up over I
points, making n net gain Of nearly 90
points since last Thursdays break A
half hearted sort of effort was made BY
other pools TO repeat the performance
in the rest Of oils while the trading In
the general market settled down TO
nominal proportions without any def
inite price tendency.
Over the week end developments
were not altogether favorable. Notice
served on the Railroad Labor Board by
unions of their intention to call a strike
produced more or less uncasiness. al
though the market community continu.
cd of the belief no serious trouble would
occur and that the attitude Of the unions
was more or less Of bluff. A great
many did not think that way, and
prompted by the caution advices given
by the prominent commission houses
either made efforts to reduce commit
ments or left the market seriously alone.
Weakness of the foreign exchange mar
kct added to the nervousness. which
the g per cent opening rate for call
money failed 10 Offset.
1t would be difficult to find the real
motive for the continued demonstra-
ton in Mexican Petroleum. 1t was
attributed by some to the forthcoming
annual report. which Is expected to
show earnings approximately equivalent
to So a share on the stock. The
closely held character Of the issue un-
doubtedly would supply a more con-
vinring explanation for the strong arm
methods. II II was devised for the
purpose Of facilitating selling in other
parts Of the list the maneuver was
anything but successful, for instead Of
stimulating speculative enthusiasm else.
where it had distinct restraining in
fiucnce and served to increase the eau
tiousness already existing.
While the general list backed and
filled within narrow area the shorts
in Mexican Pete and some of the other
oils spent very uncomfortable morn
ing. No quarter was shown until the
Mexican Pete crossed 153. which com :
pared with 1923, last Thursday. In
the meantime Pan American "a and
"B" shares rose > to 2ai points. Cen
eral Asphalt. Standard Oil of Califor-
mia, California Petroleum and Pacific
Oil also made substantial advances.
Gulf States Steel made an extra ad-
vance of 81. points. but the other steels
were heavy with the rails. shipping and
equipment shares.

Wild Scramble In Washington BY

Washington, June 10.-In all the
rush for Government jobs In the last
year and half there has been nothing
like the scramble that is on now for
jobs on American ships since it has been
discovered that intoxicating liquor Is
being sold aboard. All applicants want
jobs as bartenders.
The amount of salary. which hereto.
fore had been a primary consideration,
does not matter in this instance. Most
Of the applicants have written to the
Shipping Board and to members OF
Congress, but some come to Washington
by train. They have besieged the Cap
itol. particularly those who have had
experience, offering to demonstrate their
ability il they can find somebody who
will furnish the necessary ingredients.

appears in River Traffic

The hootleggers who sneaked on
board the Homeric just after she
docked yesterday, loaded their pockets
with bottles of whisky, ran across a
pier filled with officers, jumped into
their motor-boat and made away under
fusillade of bullets from customs
guard, all in broad daylight, are, in
the estimation of prohibition enforce
ment officials, just about the boldest in
their profession so far.
Their presence was first noticed by
the crowd on the pier when, in the
midst Of the examination of the bag
gage of passengers from the Homeric,
there was series of shots from the
end of the pier. Those who ran to the
south side to ascertain the cause saw
fifty-foot gray motor launch, with
seven occupants, scurrying at full
speed out into the river from between
Piers 5S and So. Customs Guard
Charles Ostman. it developed, had seen
several men hurrying across the lower
deck of the pier from the Homeric
with their coats bulging. When he
called to them to halt they hurried
only the faster and jumped into the
boat tied alongside the pier with its
engine running and a man at the
throttle.
When the rum runners got fifty feet
away they stopped and called out that
they wanted to have talk with Ost-
man. The latter's reply was three
shots from his pistol, fired over their
heads.
"Well get you for that" they cried
and, ducking below the gunwales,
made off into the river. Ostman an
swered that the next time he would
shoot to kill, and fired several bullets
into the launchs hull, without apparent
effect, however. With Ostman was
James Nolan, another guard, who took
off his coat and was about to swim
after the craft when he became con-
vinced that such a pursuit would be
useless, as the boat was rapidly being
lost to sight in the river traffic.
Customs authorities said that the
rum runners We're evidently in conspir-
acy with some of the Homeric's crew,
and that they probably got aboard the
ship from the off side, as she was be-
ing warped into her pier. The motor
boat which escaped, it was said, was
one of a fleet of six which was stand
ing off the end of Pier SO waiting for a
chance to get in. Much liquor has dis
appeared from passenger ships after
dark, say the customs men, but never
before has daylight attempt been
made. They estimated that each of
the men who got away yesterday was
probably carrying with him at least
twelve bottles OF whisky.
