II have the honor to inform you
that the steamship Leviathan which
was reconditioned and put into serv-
ice through the constant encourage
ment you have always given the
merchant marine, has, within the
last twenty-five hours. broken all
established world records for sus.
tanned speed.
''She has made 28o4 knots in one

for six hours. She has, during the
twenty-five-hour period. made dis
lance of 687 nautical miles, the

miles farther than the fastest rec
ord made by marine ship.
Thus, through it's first big ship,
in it's first trial run, America has
the largest, the finest and the fast
est ship in the world. An inspir-
ing premier ship to our merchant
marine, may this performance en-
thuse our people as it should and
be some return to you for your
constant interest in and enthusiasm
for America on the seas. It is an
historic tribute to the genius OF

PUBLIC BLAMED

Daniel J. SuIIy Says They Are

HOLLYWOOD, CAL, June o.
1.-THE man who plays the bucket
shops thinks he is smarter than
Wall street."
The buck in the bucket shops
was definitely passed back to the
buying public and halo was hung
on Wall street today by Daniel j.
Sully, the man who nineteen years
ago cornered the cotton marget.
1.-THE New York Stock Exchange
will never be successfully curbed.
1t is the barometer of trade for the
whole world. Any politician who
says he will do away with Wall
street is listening for the applause
of the people who have lost money
there and whose votes he is after"
continued Sully.
The one-time cotton king has
been a resident of southern Califor-
MIA for three years. He has a COM
Portable but modest home in one OF
the verdant canyons in the Holly
wood hills. He confesses to sixty
three years and a fondness for
afternoon maps. Iron-gray hair
carefully parted in the center, Is his
only indication of age, for he has
the appearance Of a man still ac-
tive and prosperous in business.
Business, though, he says. he has
put aside and is endeavoring to get
what he can out Of life. All Of the
time he can, he spends out in the
sunshine, he says.

New York is now the trading
center for the world" said Sully,
land the only thing to be accom-
plished by trying to close up the
stock exchange would be to drive 1t
to London.
It was the shrewd financial
brains of this country that wrested
the financial supremacy from Lon
don, and America would be the loser
if London again became the center.
THE New York stock exchange is
the barometer of trade for the farm
er, the merchant, the manufactures,
the banker, the business man. VIVA:
is to be accomplished by breaking
the barometer?
Bucket shops, of course, are a
different matter. Ninety per cent Of
the people who trade in these places
know they are bucket shops. They
get their patronage principally from
men of small salary. These men
think they can get $40, $3.50, or pos
sibly a fortune playing the market.
So long as they win there is no criti-
cism of bucket shops, but when they
lose there is a terrific howl. Bucket
shops should be abolished, but
don't see how they can be. If they
are put out of business In one place
they spring up in another. They ara
based on human cupidity, and sc
long as human cupidity exists so

GIVE HISTORICAL PLAY
Noted Actors to Appear at National
Theater Tonight.

Luis Martinez del Tovar, n cele-
brated Spanish actor, Virginia Fab
regas, widely known Mexican actress,
and very strong company will play
ThurYday night at the National
/ Theater the historical play known as
The Cardinal" which they lave sue
cessfully played in Spain and Italy
and throughout South America.
The play is founded on the life Of
the Medici family the great / lorentine
family that ruled Florence and Rome,
and on which the world wide novel,
Lucrecia Borgia, was written.
Tovar takes the part of Juan of
Medici, Cardinal of Rome who after
wards reached the Papacy, and Vir-
ginia Fabregas, the part of Cataline
of Medici, the well known historical
character.
The greatest part of the drama is
reached when Cardinal Medici refused
to divulge the secrets of the confess
sional to the emperor of Rome, even
to save his own brother, Julian, the
Apostate, who was innocent. charged
with crime.
The play is very strong one
based on the politics of the middle
ages.
