 RUBBER MARKET
S40,000,N0 Pool Organized by
 American Manufacturers

New York, Dec. 3 R-Plans for operation of newly formed $4o,000,- 900 buying pool to stabilize rubber prices call for purchase of mini mum of s30,o00.0oO worth Of rub Der, Wall Street hears.
 Plans are incomplete, but 1t is understood that the interested manu lecturers have contracted to pay nominal assessments to provide working capital for the pool. Prac- tically all of the largest tire and automobile manufacturer except Ford are in the agreement, which is directed primarily against British restrictive measures to keep up the prices.
 The organizers have In mind the purchase of crude rubber in the open market when prices are favor able and to hold 1t through financ- ing arrangements with certain banks, including the National Bank of Commerce and the International Acceptance bank. There would be no financing by the individual manufacturers.
 The rubber so bought would bo available to the manufacturers in the event Of excessive market ad- vances. or beld over the market to guard against any violent advance. The General Rubber Company, a subsidiary Of the United States Tire Company, was selected to be the buying agent.
 The pool plan was suggested by Secretary of Commerce Herbert Hoover last year when prices went to s1.20 a pound. The Nationa, Automobile Chamber of Commerce took up the plan and aided in put ting through the agreement.
 The British restrictions establish a' total of standard production. When the price for a quarter does not average 42 cents. exports are re- dtiNed 10 per cent. The market has been declining recently. due to large stocks of crude rubber and unsold tires, and quotations are two and three cents below the fixed price.
 Prices on the rubber exchange stiffened after announcement of the pool, but the announcement did not have an extreme effect on the move ment on the exchange, which IS governed largely by supply and de- mand and other basic conditions, rather than by developments of an artificial nature, according to r.

CHARLOTTE IN RAGE
 AT DEFENSE LAWYER
(Continued from First Page)

Today I watched Henry Stevens carefully.
 l am glad Senator Simpson did not resort to cheap dramatics like the defense in presenting his case to the jury. Even in my tense nervous state l had to smile when he imi- tated the defenses presentation of several theories by humorously pointing out that Mrs. Gibson's Jen- ny mule might have been the slayer
 But Senator Simpson did not waste much time Tn humor. He got right down to the root of the mat ter. He reminded the jurors of their oaths and told them that no preiu- dice should interfere with the per- formance of their duty to the state.
 It was a thrilling moment the little prosecutor crusading for jus tice against the powers of wealth and influence and petty politics he showed the jurors a picture of my mother, with her bright, beautiful face and reminded them that the defense had hinted some awful things about her. It made my blood boil.
 He was right when he said that he was the voice of the conscience of his fellow citizens.

There is a case in the court of errors and appeals in which we think the contrary was ruled. That principle should be applied here" the justice said.
 This reference was to a letter written by George Sipel to Mrs. Hall in which he suggested that he be reimbursed for time lost while ap- bearing as fitness at early hear ings. The defense introduced 1t to show that Mrs. Hall had refused to pay money illegally In connection with the investigation. A reference was made In the letter to "a man." who had seen Henry Stevens on Easton avenue on the night of the staying.
 If after consideration you find that the state has not proved that any one of the defendants on trial fired the fatal shot or shots all should be acquitted" said the justice.
 But If on the contrary you find that one of them did fire them, that one should be found guilty of some degree of homicide within the scope of the indictment. murder in the first degree or second degree or perhaps manslaughter.
 Degrees of Guilt
 Tt will then remain to ascertain the guilt or otherwise of the others. All these that you find to have been there and participating in the man ner already described would be principals In one degree or the other, probably the second, and likewise guilty of the same grade of homicide as the actual killer.
 He then defined tho different de- grees of murder emphasizing that all murder which in effect was not committed by poison, lying in wait or other wilful, deliberate or pre- mediate killing was murder in the second degree.
 He said that the indictment was also broad enough to admit of con- viction of manslaughter but that he did not think that appertained to this case although the court does not undertake to exclude it."
 He said the jury should first de- eide whether a homicide was com mitted by any of the defendants "and if this be answered in the af- firmative then to settle the degree of guilt of such defendant and then pass on to the matter of the principals in the second degree, if you find there were such and then consider the degrees of guilt on their part. in short whether as to each particular defendant the homicide has been to be murder in the first degree or merely man. slaughter or the presumption of second degree stands.
 At the close he called the at tention Of the jurors to. the law which In the event of verdict of in the first degree requires them to decide whether the pun ishment shall be death or imprison- ment at hard labor.

BY Herbert Rose, Nacozari, sonora.
If nature laid down her stores OF
mineral wealth without regard for
the laeer convenience of mankind,
then at least man has spared no ef-
fort in going to the furthermost
places of the earth where they may
be hidden. In the most barren of
distant places you may find huge
modern Industrial establishments
seeking them out and--who argues
that man is lost?-you will always
find tennis court there.
Come with me to the barren, brown
hills of Sonora. / will show you
long reaches which you of the city
would call desolation. I will show
you the rudest of mud and grass huts
where brown people live primitively.
/ will show you the frown which the
hills wear for the stranger.
Then, of sudden, our little fox
terrier of a railroad will twist
through a tortuous, high walled can
yons and you will behold roaring
power house-the largest of it's kind
on the American continent-wth it's
tendrils of transmission lines and a
great, sprawling mill where busy ma
