is, possibly the most Trustworthy
basis upon which to figure the
material expansion of the city. BY
their policy OF fostering well-con-
sidered investment, business and
building operations they are tre-
mendous powers behind the present
onward urge. Their services and
their resources will be in continuing
demand as the future opens up
even greater development.
The location here Of the seat OF
government. according to many,
gives Washington much nationwide
publicity that is unobtainable by
other cities. Nevertheless, there is
a growing feeling among business
men who are alive to the adj
vantages of publicity that Wash
ington has reached the stage of
as a great and in
teresting city wherein constructive
national advertising is warranted.
Such civic policy, it is stated, is
now being given serious consider
alton.
Without exception, the views ex-
pressed regarding the future steady
growth Of the city by men in
practically all lines Of enterprise
is to the effect that the days Of
the "old Washington" are forever
gone and that there can be nothing
but continued business and home
expansion in the future.

Bears Near Panic as Bulls
Push -" Stock to 80.
All Lines Active,

NEW. YORK, April Motor
stocks continued their spectacular
upward movement in fhe short ses-
sion of the stock market today
Shorts in Maxwell ''B'' were badly
squeezed when the price of that
stock was pushed by the bulls to
above SO. There was a near panic
as the bears rushed in to cover
short sales made when the re-
organization plan was announced
and when the stock was selling
twenty-five points lower. Mack
Trucks climbed sensationally and
reached a new high at 15OA, conf
pleting a gain of thirty points on
the present. move.
While other motor stocks were
fairly active. there was not SUIT
ticient demand for them to push
them to higher price levels. The
rally in General Motors, Moon,
Packard and other active motor
stocks seemed to have reached O
conclusion, for the time being, but
motor accessories. including Fisk
Rubber, United States Rubber,
Stromberg Carburetor, etc, moved
upward point or more.
Industrial stocks were strong and
active and even the oil stocks threw
off the reactiOnary tone which held
them back in the last few days.
Baldwin Locomotive sold up
points to III in the first hour.
American Can, United States Steel,
General Electric moved up point
Or more, while Cast Iron Pipe at
159 showed a gain of points from
yesterdays low.
Further construction in many
lines of industry was reported by
the principal trade agencies which
also noted a continued decline in
commodity prices. This Is most
noticeable in the metals markets
where copper, zinc and lead have
declined to the lowest price levels
for the year to date. Cotton prices
retained practically all of yester-
days gains and grain markets were
slightly reactionary at the opening.
Prices in every section of the
market bounded along to the nigh
est levels for the current move
ment in the most active Saturdays
session in a month or more. Trans
actions in the first hour aggregated
429,O00 shares. Speculative Senti-
ment was improved by the apparent
regaining of confidence in the
French crisis and the intimation
that the new finance minister would
give serious consideration to the
American war debt.
OH stocks were helped by publ
cation of annual reports of Texas
Company and Marland, two of the
largest independent companies,
showing a good gain in earnings
over 1928. The best gains were
made in the Western oil shares.
Upward movements characterized
the speciality stocks, with radio sell
ing above So, the highest on the
current movement.

ON DRY LAW STAND
Senator Fess and Dr.. Wilson
Laud Presidents
Position.

President Coolidge, who recently
was roundly scored by the United
Committee for Law Enforcement for
his passivity on prohibition, was de-
Tended today by Senator Fess of Ohio
and DIR. Clarence True Wilson, gen.
eral secretary Of the board of tenn
perance prohibition and public morals
of the Methodist Episcopal Church.
Appearing before the annual meet
ing of the board. at the Methodist
Building. 100 Maryland avenue, Sen
ator Fess and DIR. Wilson both point
ed to the Presidents position as ex-
pressed in his annual message to Con
gress yesterday as proof of the Presi-
dents attitude.
Scores Gov. Smith.
DIR. Wilson, in his annual report.
also declared personally he wished
I'VE had let the Democrats nominate
Al Smith, on a wet platform.
Smith will go down in the history
of our times as the violator of his
oath Of office and the would be nulli
fier of his countrys Constitution"
Senator Fess, addressing the exec
utive session of the board. was said
to have indorsed the Coolidge posi-
ton on law enforcement, and to have
stressed the necessity for carrying out
the Presidents suggestions.
Bishop William Mcdowell. president
of the board. presided.
DR.. Wilson, who was one of those
who recently withdrew from the
united committee for law enforcement
after the committees report to Presi-
dent Coolidge laying responsibility on
the Chief Executive for failure Of law
enforcement, declared. I'VE have not
hna sHxyho OF
dominion and rail at dignities.'
The President has shown that by
orderly processes prohibition has be-
come the law of the land and that
it is the duty of every one who lives
under the protection of our laws to
observe the spirit of the law"
Confidence i'm Administration.
Expressing confidence in the ad-
ministration Of prohibition, DR.. VIII
son said. I'VE believe that the new
organization under Gen. Lincoln c.
Andrews promises a better enforce
ment."
DIR. Wilson said
THE Government is not alone re-
sponsible for lax enforcement. Our
reform leaders slowed down and let
themselves be put on the defensive
when they should have advanced on
all fronts.
I'VE have men with great fortunes
sleeping in safety because they are
protected by the laws of the country,
who are doing all they can to break
down the authority of the laws to
which they owe their lives, their for
tunes and their safety. They store
contraband goods and patroniZe boot
leggers and thus encourage anarchy"
