NAVY FLYER MAKES
NEW SPEED RECORD
Lieut.. Cuddihy Comes From
Philadelphia to Capital
in 80 Minutes.

1t took Lieut. George T. Cuddihy.
engineer officer of The Naval Air sta
ton at Anacostia. just 81 minutes to
get to Washington from Philadelphia
yesterday afternoon. Lieut.. Uuddihy
thus bettered his own mark last year
when he covered the distance in 40
minutes.
The secret of the fast trip lies in
the little blue Curtiss racing plane
which he brought to the station for
use as a dog ship by the Navy
Schneider seaplane racing team.
The racer. built early in 1928 and
winner of the Pulitzer race at st.
Louis that year for the Navy at
speed of 243.67 miles per hour, was
mounted >on pontoons, and this add
tional weight and drag, coupled with
the water route the pilot had to fol

arrival that if the ship had had wheels
and he could have followed straight
compass course. he probably would
have made it in nothing fiat"

virtually all the way and this neCes

Palmer, radio officer of the station.
received a message from Philadelphia
that Lieut.. Cuddihy had departed in
the racer, and presently on walking
out of the "shack" saw the little blue
plane over the station, preparing to
make landing.
The flight yesterday. together with
similar one made a year ago by
Lieut.. Cuddihy, will go down on rec

ever made by a racing plane. Consid-
cradle hazard was attached to the
jump, as the officer could not wear q
parachute on account of the ships
construction.

OHIO FIGHTS CORN BORER
WITH DEATH MACHINERY
Low-Cutting Blades Leave Pests in
Stalk to Be Crushed During
Husking Process.

COLUMBUS. August 2S.-Machinery
specially adapted to fight the Euro
pean corn borer is being shipped into
the territory infested with the corn
plague. The harvesters are designed
with low-cutting blades that slide off
the stubble very close to the ground.
This leaves as many as possible Of the
borers in the stalk to be crushed dur
ing the husking process.
The low cutting has an additional
advantage in reducing the numbers of
next years crop of corn bOrers, since
the pests migrate to the base Of the
stalk as the corn ripens and spend
the Winter in the stubble that is left
in the fields.
Machinery promises more success
than any other means tried so far in
killing the borer while actually at
work, according to Prof. G. w. Nc
Cuen of the department of agricul-
tural engineering at Ohio State Uni
VerSity.

which began with Ecclesiastical pomp
today. The church was 33 years In

SHARP DECLINES
FEATURE MONDAY
SALES OF STOCK
(By Dispatch A. p. wirel

NEW YORK, April 12.-Heavy call
ing of bank loans to meet the Cuban
demand for funds growing out of the
run on certain institutions in Havana
was accompanied today by a heavy
selling movement on the New York
stock exchange during which 80 is
sues crashed to new low levels for the
year and scores of others fell 1 to 2
points. While only about $4,000, 900
in loans was called, it is estimated
that $5O,O0O,0OO was withdrawn from
the New York market as a result of
the Cuban situation.
Selling appears to have originated
largely with bear traders, who con-
tinued another successful attack on
the motor shares. Liquidation of these
issues was accompanied by the usrual
rumors of falling off in business.
Alfred p. Sloan, Jr., president of the
General Motors corporation, in a state
ment issued after the market closed,
declared that retail sales in the first
quarter were Sc per cent above those

GRAIN MARKET
(By Dispatch A. P. Wire)


CHICAGO, April 12.-Wheat declined
in price today, influenced more or less
by the fact that the United States
visible supply total failed to decrease
much as had been generally expected.
Closing quotations on wheat were un-
settled, ac to 1Ac net lower, May
(new) $1.591s to $1.59lA, and July
$136% to $1.36A, with corn unchanged
to nc down, oats at %c decline to 1@c
gain, and provisions varying from &c
off to sc gain.
Especially in the late dealings, the
majority of traders showed a prefer
ence for the selling side of the wheat
market. Demand, for the most part,
was of scattering character. Weak
ness, which began to manifest itself
at the opening, was initiated by an
unexpected decline at Liverpool as
cribed to slackening of sales both to
British and continental European con-
sumers, Notwithstanding an authori-
tative estimate that world require
ments of wheat from April 1 to the
end of the present season would total
24O,O0O,O00 bushels whereas the amount
available was figured as only 20S,-
1000 bushels.
Favorable domestic weather and
crop reports had considerable effect as
an incentive for selling in the wheat
market and toward consequent lower
prices. Besides export call for North
American wheat was relatively slow,
purchases being estimated at 100000
bushels, including 100000 bushels OF
Durhura. It was in this connection
that the United States visible supply
figures announced near the end OF the
day appeared to operate as bearish
ractor The decrease for the week
proved 10 be 92SOOO bushels, whereas
the falling off that had been looked
for was well above 100000 bushels.
Corn and oats were upheld by de-
creases in the visible supply and as a
result of smallness of arrivals Of corn
here, 13O cars.
In corn, the rank and file of traders
were more friendly to the buying side,
but were checked by wheat weakness.
1t was contended in some quarters
that receipts of corn will be light for
weeks to come, owing to press of field
work.
In line with hog values, the pro-
vision market averaged higher.
Douglas daily dispatch., 1926-04-13

Arrow common and preferred, Stew
art Warner apd White Motors all sold
2 to 5 points below Saturdays closing
quotations. Steel shares lost ground
despite the fact that the March I'M
filled tonnage statement of the United
States Steel corporation made public
after the close on Saturday showed a
smaller reduction in orders than had
been expected. U. S. Steel common
was hammered down 2 points to 1885
or within fraction of the years low,
and Bethlehem and Sloss Sheffield es-
tablished new 1926 minimum prices.
Acute weakness also developed in
such stocks as American Agricultural
Chemical preferred, General Electric,
Midland Steel Products preferred, Pos
tum Cereal, Remington Typewriter U.
S. Cast Iron Pipe, United Drug and
Woolworth, all off to nearly 10
points.
Some of the high priced rails also
recorded substantial recessions.
Commodity prices were mixed. Ac-
tive wheat futures dropped about a
cent bushel in sympathy with an
earlier decline in Liverpool Cotton
closed points higher to points
lower Raw sugar advanced 1-16 of
a cent a pound and the futures showed
slight Improvement.
Call money renewed at 4 per cent
and advanced successfully to AZ, 5
and 51a, closing at the top. Time
money rates also hardened, being
quoted at AS @4A, depending upon
maturity, instead of on a flat 43s per
cent basis. Prime commercial paper
was unchanged to Az per ceht.
Irregularity developed in the foreign
exchange market, with most of the
principal European rates losing
ground. Demand sterling was quoted
at u of cent lower around $4.S5 1916
and French francs yielded slightly to
around 343 cents. Belgian francs
dropped below $3.50 cents, or 8'15 points
below last weeks closing quotations.

increase in volume, the days sales ag-
gregating 1,6S7,70O shares.
The calling of about S25,000,O00 in
bank loans, resulting in a marked
stiffening of money rates, probably
accelerated the selling movement In
view of the large increase in excess
reserve shown in last Saturdays clear
ing house statement this action puz-
zled many brokers until it was ex-
planned that most of the calling was
done by banks with Havana connec-
tions, presumably to provide or re-
place currency sent to assist Cuban
institutions which have suffered from
heavy Withdrawals during the past
few days.
Apart from the rise in money rates,
there was nothing in the days news
to account for the heavy selling of
stocks.
Commission houses reported, how
ever, that many investors and cpecu-
lators have become uneasy over re-
ports that business in several lines
was slowing up, and that bear traders
undoubtedly took full advantage of
this feeling by hammering stocks of
companies in industries which prob
ably will feel the first effects of any
general business depression. Reports
that the Mexican and United States
governments had practically reached
an agreement in their controversy over
the Mexican land laws apparently
were disregarded
Heavy liquidation of7the motors pre-
sumably was in anticipation of a
sharp falling off in business in the
second quarter of the year. Hudson
was the hardest hit,t breaking 7h
points to new low record at 63% and
then rallying to 65. Jordan broke 5h
points to a new low at 31% and then

dividend in the first quarter, sagged
