as might have been expected, suf-
fered the most.
Liberties Lead Decline.
All United States government bonds
sold off. with the old AN s showing
the greatest decline. High-grade
rails, such as Atchison general As,
New York Central 5s, Reading gen
eral As. Illinois Central As of 1858,
Northern Pacific As, Louisville and
cific As were likewise affected.
The action of the federal reserve
governors should have shown no sur
prise in view of the criticism that the
action late in 1919 did not meet it's
purpose because it had been too long
delayed.
1t should also be remembered that
the new rate established Wednesday
simply brings the eastern banks into
line with the rest of the federal re-
serve system and that the open
money market rates have been fore
shadowing this development for some
time. 1t should have no effect on
strictly Investment securities yield

ceptions in the days general weak

Among industrials the only real
strong feature was furnished by the

other advance in the price of the re-

STUNTS
BIames Picture Concern for
Death of Spider" Young

NEW YORK, April 5.-A fragile
girl widow and the board of alder
men busted themselves today to-
ward the same end-the barring OF
human fly stunts in this city.
Both were inspired by the same
fatality-the death of Harry Young
(The SPIDER, climbing the Hotel
Martinique here in March, as a
publicity stunt for Harold Llyod's
latest picture, Safety First"
Spider" lost his life for fifty
bucks" as the devil-may-care fellow
would have termed 1t himself, ac-
cording to the girl. his bride of
few months, Mrs. Ruth Young.
Flags Picture Company
1.-THE Pathe Motion Picture Com.
pany hired Harry to do the stunt.
and after he was killed they told
me it was for $50 that he risked
his life. They have never helped
me with another cent nor did they
send a flower to the funeral" the
twenty-year-old widow said today
at an office where she is working
as stenographer.
II blame the motion pictures en-
tirely for his death. / am going
to work toward abolishing all such
stunts. The picture companies
should not be allowed to buy. life
that way.
People must have their excite
ment-oh, they must-no matter
how many families are heart
broken-how many lives are lost.
They do not think Of Harry's little
boys, eight and five years old, that
their thirst for excitement made
fatherless. They are my step
children"
Says Papers Are Missing
Speaking of a release from Pathe
and the hotel found in Young's
pockets after the fall. Mrs. Young
said:
II knew there were other papers
in his clothes, for / had seen them
before. think there was q paper
stating the amount he was to have
received from Pathe. know he
would never have worked four
weeks making arrangements for the
climb for $50. The Pathe people
had hired him to do stunts for
years, including q climb of the.
Statute of Liberty, and / thought
they would surely be kind to me.
The Pathe publicity department
used to call Harry every day on
the telephone urging him to do this
last stunt. The company has not
done anything for Harry's children,
whose mother Is dead. l am con-
sulting an attorney now"
Would Aid Children

Pathe company, which engaged
Young. today said the firm had Of

to Mrs. Young with her." he said,
I'VE proposed to bring up the
children in such a way they would
have more opportunities and COM
forts than they could possibly have
had even with their mother. Mrs.
Young would not agree to this,
however, so the entire subject was
dropped. Pathe Is still willing to
have Mrs. Young accept the pro-
posal."
II think this should be the last
Of such tragedies" said Mrs. Young.
But there'll still be men foolish
enough to try the stunts. There
were two men who wanted to try
the climb right after Harry's death.
II picture companies have no more
conscience than to do 1t, they can
find plenty of stuntists.''
