2. S. Steel and General Mo-

BY sTUART y. WEST.

SBeaSl DlApatch 10 A-ne star.
: NEW YORK, July 26,-Following
last week s. sharp decline on the Stock
Excha nge, prices did better today.
There were no grounds for antici,
pating that what WAS no more than
a market correction would run into
more serious decline,
The check to operations for the rise
had come through the discovery that
these were obtaining little outside FOL
lowing and they depended mainly upon
the activities OF professional Wall
Street.
But when the professionals had
done their selling and taken the short
side the MARKET was IN position TO
rally.
United States Steel common had
gone down last week over six points;
American Smelling eight points. Gen
eral Moxors two, while more OF teSs
violent breaks had occurred in some
nl The highly manipulated speclatles.
Fhe Street reasoned from this that the
reaction had gone pretty far and that
it was time to think about some sort
of movement in the opposite direction;
Once more it was case OF steer
and General Motors being the leaders.
Both stocks rallied briskly. Hudson
Motor appeared to be encounterlnE
support around 60. White and Mack
Trucks were both higher. Studebaker
WAS comparatively unrcspcnsiNe IN
the report of the second quarter and
for the half year.
Colorado Fuel & Iron, which had,
sold as high as 41s4 last week and
had left of at 45ss, dropped n point
right at the start. but subsequently
got hack most OF the loss.
Oil shares were not prominent IN
the trading. Neither were the cop
pers. American Smelling dropped
another point, then hardened. Bald
win Locomotive gained fraction.
American Can succeeded in holding
around top figures. The demand con.
tinued for Texas Gulf Sulphur and
Burns Brothers "A" was quite It
feature on the buying side. On the
other hand. some selling was going
on in Famous Players and in Coca
Goa, which at one time was off nearly
q. point.
B., In the late afternoon trading picked
up bit Previously it had gone
through considerable intervals of dull
ness. Motor shares led the way. Gen.
eral Motors. Hudson and Mack Trucks
and such members of the group as
Pierce Arrow and Dodge \ were mod
erately higher Outside the motors
United States Steel and Baldwin Loco
motive were the features. American
Smelling rebounded from it's low.
In the rails there was brief period
of bidding for the Wheeling and Lake
Erie issues and a small gain in New
Haven. Kansas City Southern did
nothing to speak of on the announce
ment of the application for permission
to put through the Loree merger in
the Southwest.

IS
CALLED IN
TRIAL

The Senate resumed its role Of
q high court of impeachment to-
day to issue a summons for
Federal Judge George w. Eng
Iish. of the eastern Illinois dis
trict. to appear before its bar to
answer charges of "high crimes
and misdemeanors" in office.
This preliminary move, calling
Judge English to appear probably
within a week to enter plea
of guilty or not guilty" win
pave the way for the tenth i'm
peachment trial in the history of
the Government. If Judge Eng
lish declines to respond to the
subpoena, a plea of mot guilty"
will be entered in the courts
record in his behalf and formal
date set for the opening of the
trial.
English Opposes Delay
Administration leaders desire to
hold the trial sometime in June
after Congress has adjourned for
the summer. but a movement has
been started to postpone the pro-
ceeding until next October, just be-
fore Congress reconVenes in its
short session.
Opposition to the latter move
came from both friends and foes of
English, however, first on the
ground that if the judge is inno-
cent. he is entitled 70 have the
cloud removed from his name at
once, and secondly, that If he is
guilty, he has no right to serve on
the bench throughout the summer
Another preliminary to be effect.
ed today will be the swearing in
Of the court of impeachment.
An oath will be administered first
to Vice President Dawes who will
serve as president of the court,
and then to each member of the
Senate.
Absentees will be forced to take
the oath when they return to
ashington and before they can
participate in the proceedings.
The taking of the oath will COM
piete the organization of the court
and 1t then will stand ready to
hold the trial.
