PEARL HARBOR CORE. OF OAHU DEFENSES
Naval Officers Stress Its Strate,
 SiC Import in Pacific
py Tho Associated press.


 Honolulu. May 6.-Tbe impor- tdnce of Pearl Harbor as the core of the Island of Oahu detenses, and the basis of the United States defensos in the Pacific was emphasized by naval officers who toured tho base with party of newspaper men ycs- ter1ay.
 Tho immediate improvement needed at Pearl Harbor, the naval officers pointed out, is the dredging Of the channel to a depth of 4j feet to permit the entrance of the mightiest United States dreadnaughL under any weather conditions.
 Deepening of the channel to 45 feet also would provide a port Of refuge for crippled baltIeships with increased draft. The anchorage at the harbor would be increased by the dredging of some shoals and thereby would accommodate the entire American armada in case of war.
 Another need to which the naval officers referred was that of air craft having q larger cruising range than machines now here possess. In this connection it was pointed out that aircraft defending the Island of Oahu, in the recent sham battle against attacking sea forces. was unable to sight the attacking fleet soon enough to prevent d suc- ccssiul landing of force of marines at llalciWa. die 10 the restricted cruising radius of the air forces,

 The fishing rights were granted 10 large estates by the monarchy years ago and he estates in turn leased the rights 10 companies. t Was pointed out that Sampans owned by such companies have free range of waters even inside Pearl Hsrbor proper permitting thom 10 gain in- vaIuahl" knowledge Of the harbor dcfcnso5,
 The sole solution Of this problem. it was said by the officers, would be the condemnation of all private fishing rights by the government.

that both men were well known to
them as heavy traders in hay.

NY. Financial District

New York, Oct. 1e.-(By the Asso-

market stopped to catch its breath to-
day after starting off at pace that
looked as though all existing trading
records would be broken.
The sharp opening rally was follow
ed by an extremely violent decline,
with the sales in the first two hours
running over 100000 shares. but an
other rally got under way in the aft
ernoon and trading slowed up. The
days sales were figured by Associated
Press tabulators at 2.597.S00 shares. as
compared with 2,700,600 on Friday,
which were with the exception OF one
day In December. 1916. the highest in
nearly 20 years.
The balloon Of inflated motor stock
values was punctured again by the
rapier-like thrusts of bear traders.
The ticker was again swamped by
the tremendous volume Of business
and soon was trailing 20 minutes be-
hind the market but was able to make
up most of its delay before the close.
Brokers generally welcomed the aft
ernoon breathing spell as many of
them were on the verge of physical
exhaustion.
Wild rumors that William G. Durant
automobile manufacturer. was buying
control of General Motors in the open
market were dispelled today when one
Of his brokers reported that he was
