Love Triumphs Over Grow.
ing Bitterness in
Heart.

Bu NEA Serrtce
NEWARK, N. j., April So.-This
is tale Of a greats victory-the
triumph Of a mothers heart over
gnawing bitterness the defeat Of
hatred at the hands Of an allen
comprising pity.
Mothers who try to vision them
selves in the place Of Mrs. Sophie
Niemiec may well ask themselves:
What would I have done?"
And all society may look itself in
the mirror and ponder on the Christ
lesson to be found in this humble
working womans story.
Mrs. Niemiec's problem was this:
Her SON. Ben, had been slain by
his chum, Boleslaw Dumbeck. The
two boys had been inseparable com
panions. About seven years ago
they went hunting muskrats in near
by meadows. Ben did not come home.
Days later his body was found, shot
through the heart.
Boleslaw insisted that the shooting
had been accidental Later he adj
mitted a quarrel when detectives
saAressed him, pleaded guilty to Sec
nd degree murder, and was SEN
fenced to life imprisonment.
Bitterness
At the time the bitterness in Mrs.
Niemiecs heart knew no bounds.
But as the years slipped by she
found herself thinking more and
more of this lad who faced life
dime behind prison bars. He was,
after all, another lad just like her
gon. Was it not possible that the
uhooting had been accidental?
And how barren her life had be-
come without her boy! How she
yearned for a son! How she yearned
Sor some one to mother!
The Dumbeck family moved away,
but from time to time tales reached
her ears Of the youth who had killed
G1er boy. He was not we'll in prison
He was insistent now that the shot
had been accidentally fired.
Closing her eyes she could see the
two boys noisily playing in the yard
or making muskrat traps in a corner
Of the room. She could hear them
again urging her to make some
bread and butter and sugar.!
Love
And so she went to the prison to
visit Dumbeck. After that she went
often. She took him cakes and cook
les. The bitterness began to disap-
pear. Instead came the desire to
mother this poor lad. She talked
with him about the shooting. They
recalled the old play days"

D. C. Justices Do Not Favor
Locating Building in Ju-

Location of the proposed new build.

near the present District courthouse
does not meet with the unqualified APP
provai of the justices of the Supreme
Court of the District, according to un-
official advices today to the Commits.
sion of Fine Arts. The justices were
said TO believe that the Police Court
Building should not encroach on the
present park area Of Judiciary Square,
but should be placed somewhere con-
tiguous to the District courthouse,
probably on Indiana avenue imme-
diately across the street from the
present Municipal Court Building.
The Fine Arts Commission already
has recommended that the Police
Court Building which was authorized
by Congress at the last session, but
not appropriated for, should be placed
in judiciary Square, in the space be-
tween IL and It street as prolonged
into the square. This would bring 1t
into an east and west line with the
San Martin statue, IL was said, and
would virtually destroy the value of
Judiciary Square as a parade ground
for the District National Guard. The
commission also has recommended

Guard use, and suggested that the

STOCKS REACTION
HALTED BY BUYING
Dozens of Issues Go to Hiqh-
er Levels in Rally Which
Follows Decline.
By the Associated Press.

NEW YORK. August 21.-The reac
tionary movement in stock prices
which has been under way most o.
the week was brought to a sudden
halt today, when aggressive bullish
demonstrations in a few specialties
started a general buying movement
which carried dozens of issues / to 10
points above yesterdays final quota
tions. The rally followed an early pc
riod of irregularity, during which bear
traders tried ineffectually to unsettle
the general list by renewing selling

common and General Motors which
received strong buying support and
closed at net gains. of l and ] Il points,
respectively.
There was nothing in the days
news to explain the sharp reversal in
market form. However. the report
that William G.. Durant. automobile
manufacturer, has postponed his trip
to Europe one week and was again
active on the long side, following
within "a hours a rumor that he and
other large operators had liuuidated
long lines of stock, probably inspired
considerable short covering. Week
end reviews from various lines of
trade and industry confirmed reports
that Midsummer business activity
was being maintained on a large
scale.

BUTTER MARKETS
EASY DURING WEEK
Slight Advances Recorded. But
Were Difficult to Main
tain Later.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, August 21.-During the
week the butter markets displayed hut
little strength and at times early in
the week the tone could almost have
been called easy. On Monday and
Tuesday prices on fancy butter at
Chicago and New York recorded frac-
tional advances. but the higher prices
were difficult to maintain. Buyers
were quite conservative and satisfied
with their requirements from day to
day rather than anticipate future
needs.
This policy considerably lessened
demand for fancy butter. which was in
comparatively light supply, but ample
to meet the restricted demand of buy
ers. AT some Eastern markets users
were inclined to draw on their own
freezer stocks for their current needs
rather than buy at the asking price.
and this had q tendency to accumulate
dealers stocks. AS the week progress
ed and available trading stocks began
to accumulate. receivers adopted a
free selling policy which resulted in
some rather sharp declines. especially
here where stocks were comparatively
larger.

prediction may be mentioned, fitting
in with the opinion of good judges.
that the bond market reached its peak
in the late Spring and early Summer.
This, however. by no means implies
much of a downward movement. IT,
could only be anticipated If there were
to be a big business boom. drawing
heavily upon credit resources or q
great stock market campaign. which
would do the same thing, and at the
present time neither of these con
tingences seems at all likely.
Belgian Franc Receivers.
Selling in the Belgian currency.
which was an incident early In the
week, was finally checked. The Bel
cians are making sincere efforts to
better their position by putting econ
omies into force. The French hopes
to find a way out through remission
Of war debts. Trading in French
francs has been materially reduced
with inconclusive fluctuations.
Such advances as occurred In the
commodity markets are the seasonal
response to weather conditions and
accounts of insect damage. Consider
ing the previous decline, cotton got
up very little from it's extreme low.
The explanation is, of course. that the
cotton trade is confronting the pros.
poets of a yield not much inferior to
the high one of a year ago.

RAIL SHARES TAKE
ON FRESH ACTIVITY
Waning Enthusiasm in U. S.
Steel and General Motors
Hurts Industrials.
BY STUART p. WEST.

Special Dispatch to Ihe Sta.
NEW YORK, August 21.-The
sharp declines in the industrial shares
on the Stock Exchange during the
past week have not been due to any
important change in outside condl'
tions. Wall Street was so long pre-
pared for the General Motors big
stock dividend a week ago that 1t lost
all enthusiasm when the announce
ment was made.
Motor shares. with only one or two
exceptions. have ceased. at least for
the time being. to be prominent. A
decisive check was also given United
States Steel when unofficial yet com
monty credited reports came out that
nothing would be done in the way OF
extra dividends at the next two quar-
terly meetings.
Inasmuch as these two stocks were
consistently the leaders throughout
the upward movements of July ana
early August, 1t was natural that
when they showed definite signs or
halting the sanguine spirit should
have been taken out of other parts
of the list The reaction did not IN
volve the railway shares as a group.
There were times during the week
when these stocks were active ana
strong. Plainly enough, transfer or
interest was going on in the indus
trial section of the railway list. ,
Railroad Dividends Expected.
No fresh reason appears for the
buving movement in the railway
stocks. The feeling is simply more

emphatic that. between the narrowing
of opportunities in other directions
and the prospects of continued large
traffic totals. the old-line railroad divi-
dend payers are all the time becom-
ing intrinsically more valuable.
In the years Immediately succeed
ing the change from Government con-
troll to private ownership. the carriers
had unusual maintenance expendi-
lures to make. This program was
abandoned in 1925 and since then net
earnings after dividends have been
running more largely into surplus ac-
counts. The conclusion which the
financial community has already
drawn seems entirely reasonable;
namely, that this must sooner or later
lead to increases in the regular cash
disbursements or to extra stock divi-.
dends, which besides rewarding share
holders would bring capitalization into
line with enlarged earning power.
Mergers Value Disputed.
The railway portion of the market
looks more wholesome than 1t did last
year, when everything was based on
merger talk and nobody really knew
whether merger would. or would not,
make the stocks concerned worth
more than they were selling for. This
is a question still in dispute.
In some instances the increased
economies to be effected under COM
bination arrangements might produce.
temporarily at least. higher prices. In
other instances such alliances would
undoubtedly prove to have been dis
counted by the rise of the last l.
months. Also 1t has to be remem-
bered that the principal purpose of
the Government regulating authorities
in encouraging these rail consolida-
tions is for whatever benefits may
accrue to be passed on to the public
in the form of lower freight rates.
The downward turn in the indus
trials has to some extent been the
result of the exhaustion of favorable
news like the General Motors extra,
to some extent Of the uncertainty
over the dividend policy of United
States Steel, and finally to the lack
of success of professional operators
for the rise to enlist a large public
following the way they did last Au-
tumn. Toward the end of the week
the volume of business diminished
and this. more than their decline In
pricss. appeared significant to those
who have been looking for an eX-
ment
Money Rates Unchanged.
Money rates have remained as they
were a week ago. The substantial in
crease in the New York Federal Re
serve rediscount rate shows that
there is no cause to expect much
higher money. 1t was important
that such an increase should have
come at the beginning of the season
when funds are being withdrawn
from New York repositories to
finance the moving of the crops. Still,
time money rates are higher than
they were two months ago and the
raising week ago, Thursday, of the
New York reserve rate, although it
appeared to be chiefly in the nature
of a local adjustment, has been in
terpreted as a sign that the period of
very low money was over.
