TRADING
Upward Movement in Prices
of Speculative Stocks Is
Halted

NEW YORK, Aug. 1s.-The up
ward movement in prices Of specula'
tive stocks halted again on profit
taking in the early trading on the
stock exchange today and a smaller
number of price advances were
scored in the first hour than IN
the last few sessions. Conditions
were again favorable for realizing
sales and a considerable volume OF
industrial and speciality stocks were
brought into the market for this
purpose.
The mercantile stocks continued
the rise inaugurated in the last
hour Yesterday with May Depart
ment stores, Montgomery Ward and
Gimbel leading the advance. Cop
per stocks were Joined by the To-
bacco's and shipping stocks were
again prominent in the forward
movement Of prices.
Specially stocks were mixed In
their movements. Colorado Fuel
and Iron forged ahead on the Off
cial statement Of the company's
president that drilling had not been
suspended. Tobacco products scored
q new high on the movement at
66N; Davidson Chemical was COM
PEELED to withstand another violent
drive by professionals and dropped
abruptly to Ash, for loss Of more
than points, recovering a portion
OF this loss later in the session.
Allis Chalmers sold up to a new
high at GIN in reflection OF the
favorable rate of the company's
earnings and Universal Pipe and
Radiator gained 8 points at IL in
response to the semi-annual state
nent of the company.
Pan American 3D." at the head
of the oil stocks, moved up to 3d.
the equivalent Of the best previous
price on the movement, and lnde-
pendent oils were inclined to Tol-
low its lead as reports OF tremen-
dous increases in consumption
reached the market. Many OF the
large companies report August
sales Of gasoline as far in excess
Of their July sales.
The reaction in the general run
Of Industrial stocks was in no case
severe, declines in such issues as
Baldwin, Mack Trucks, Studebaker,
Anaconda, Gulf States Steel, ETC.,
being mostly fractional. Industrial
reports were favorable and money
conditions unchanged.

Nineteen Years abo j. K. and r.
G. Showley, brothers, came here
from Indiana to engage in business
because they believed the city would
grow. Two or three thousand dol
lars was the sum total of their orig
NAL investment. An insignificant
section of the old Montczuma hotel,
Second and + streets, was their first
location. Their help consisted of
one candymaker and two girls.
Three years later they moved to
large quarters. A week ago they
began operating in their newly
erected factory, pretentious three
story structure ut Eighth and K.
streets where more than $250,000
IS epresented as an Investment.
= There is no reason why San
Diego should not be manufactur-
ing city, given the raw material
and quality as the basis of produc
ton. " b. G. Showley said Yesterday.
" Nineteen years is not such long
time, bn5 for us it has meant
growth of an investment of few
thousand dollars into Il quarter Of
a million plant. -

Mission Beach Is
Newest SD. Play
Ground This Year

Even California never before
witnessed such rapid development
md increasing popularity of a
beach as this summer has brought
to this San Diego playground and
residence tract between ocean and
bay. The thousands of visitors Of
a month ago have increased to
tens of thousands today, and the
amount Of home building has siml-
larIy increased A year ago about
40 families had homes there.
Visitors who will go. to Mission
Reach today are warned of an auto
mobile parking ordinance passed by
the city council last week as an
emergency measure to prevent ac-
cidents on the crowded thorough
fares of the peninsula. These regu-
lations are now in effect.
Cars may be parked on one side
of the street, but not on both. It
is not unlawful to park cars on the
east side of Bayside lane and on
the west side of Strandway. 1t also
is unlawful to park ears on the
north side OF, streets in the eastern
half Of the peninsula, that is be-
tween Mission boulevard and the
bay; and unlawful to park ears on
the south side of streets in the
western half of the peninsula.
Construction Of the $3.50, 600
badhhouse in the amusement center
is making progress and will be rea
dy soon for occupancy.
Paving Of Cement
Grading of the southern part of
the peninsula south of the amuse-
ment center, is improving the APP
pearance of the whole, since the

tract likewise is scheduled FOR ear
lv work, and the scores of homes
under construction will be multi
piled into hundreds, while many
have not awaited the assured sewer,
more are delaying construction un-
ill the sewer is in.
Those who are watching Mission
Beach predict that another year will
find such Il concentration of inn
provements and developments that

British Liquor
Ship Vanishes
With Big Cargo

SAN DIEGO, Aug. 5.-Where is
the British steamer Stadacona with
its ST 600, 900 carlo of Scotch whisky
ale and champagne9 The officers
of the coast guard cutter Tamarao
and Vaughan would like to know.
! The Stadacona. short of fuel
aud water, dropped her mudhook on
the Cortez banks, 80 miles west of
Point Iona, late last Monday
night. The vessel signalled for as
sistance. The British motorship
Gryme, carving 200 barrels of fuel
oil and 25 barrels of water, was
dispatched from San Diego rnder
authorized federal clearance tc the
Stadacena.
While, rough seas made it neces-
sarv for the Gryme to throw the
barrels, overheard and then haul
them aboard the rum laden ship
by means of winches, the coast
guard cutter Tamaroa stood by.
Three lays elapsed before the
last fuel oil and water barrel was
transferred from the Gryme to the
Standacona. The Tamaroa, during
this period, was relieved by the
Vaughan.
Under cover of 4 dense fog the
Stadacona weighed anchor and
proceeded. Where she proceeded is
worrying those who are responsible
for the suppression of Liquor
smuggling in this vicinity.
The Stadacona was reported
bound from Liverpool TO Vancou
yer. Along the waterfront, IT is
freely predicsedl that the Stada.
coma will reach Vancouver, but not
wi hther $1,000,000 cargo of choice
liquors.

Naughty Girl on
Stand in Breach
of Promise Suit
BY United Press Leased Wire

LOS ANGELES, Aug. Ann
Luther, motion picture actress, .des-
cribed as q Hnaughty girl,' is ex-
pected to reveal the secrets of
millionaire - Jack White s assert
ed love for her and his alleged
100000 breach of promise contract
when she takes the stand today in
Judge Valentines court.
A number of witnesses promised
to be called by the defense and
plaintiff include film people who
are to tell of Miss Luther's moral
reputation and its effect upon her
possible success on the screen.
Denying strenuOusly that Albert
+. Lewis, a young Debonair broker,
became social wreck, lost his mon
ey and took to the use of drugs due
to the rustration of his great love
for her, Miss Luther declares that
her life and movie morals were al
ways above reproach.
That man was still in good
shape, mentally, financially and nor
ally when our engagement was
broken. He afterward married and
if anything happened to him, it was
after that" she declared during
recess of court yesterday.
While White states that anything
he ever said to Miss Luther could
not be construed as the word of
love, the fair actress declares that
she will introduce love letters from
White to prove his affection for
her.
Finally, Whites argument, ac-
cording to his attorneys, will be
that he never entered into a $780,
900 contract with Miss luther and
if anything he ever said could be
taken by the court to mean a con
tract, it could not have been full
filled in the light of the plaintiff S
asserted reputation in the film in
lustry and in the eyes of the pub
lie.

HOUSE APPROVES
POLISH DEBT PLAN
Settlement by .lithuania Also
Ratified-Burton De- i
tends British View.

The House today by a unanimous
"ote approved the settlement with
roland. The ratifying resolution pre-
viousfy was passed by the Senate.
The House then took up the debt
settlement agreement with Lithuanfa
and ratified that, which also has been
acted upon favorably by the Senate.
In discussing the foreign debt ques-
ton, Representative Burton asserted
that, while he was opposed TO any
material change from settlements
already ratified in effecting agree
ments with other nations, he believed
the United states should show all
possible ieniency and in some cases
should be willing TO grant moratorf-
ums on early payments.
To alter radically the terms Of
agreements hereafter negotiated, he
commended, would be unjust to nations
which have already made debt ad-
justments.
Justified british View.
Great Britain is justified in insist
ing that its debtor nations must be-
gin repayment of loans to her II they
make debt settlements with the
United States, the Ohio Representa-
tive said. -.
Great Britain must first fulfill her
obligations to us, he added. and so
long as we are seeking payments how
can we Justly complain If she also is
asking her debtors to make settle
ment," he asks.

When the subcommittee meets for
consideration OF the budget one OF
the first questions of policy to be
considered in executive session will
be on the fiscal relations between the
Federal Government and the munic-
ipality. The budget as submitted by
the President and the bill as drafted
for committee consideration carry
the alternative propositions of a
lump sum contribution by the Fed
eral Government and the rest of the
appropriations entirely from the Dis
trict revenues, which was tried out
AS q compromise during the current
fiscal year. and also the old 60-40
definite percentage plan of sharing
the costs of upkeep of the National
Capital.
Most Of the members of the COM
mittee feel that this question should
be sett ed before the bill is considered
in detail and before any District on
Gals are called upon to explain the
estimates submitted through the
budget bureau.
The first witnesses called will be the
District Commissioners and Maj. DAN
lei J. Donovan, the District auditor.
The Commissioners will discuss with
the members of the appropriations
committee the general matters in re-
gard to finances and revenues. The
chairman Of the Commissioners will
then be allowed to speak in behalf OF
any special project or proposition be-
fore the bill Is taken up in order.
The subcommittee, in the course Of
it's hearings, will make a personal in
spection of streets and school build

mittee on District appropriations are:
