BELIEVES HE IS CHASED,
 HELD FOR OBSERVATION
Stranger Tells Police Father of Child He Assaulted Sharpened
 Razor For Him.

The public welfare department this afternoon was investigating the case of a man who is detained at police headquarters. having been picked up last night by Officer Will liam Grabeck. who directed him to a rooming house by request. The man appears to be demented and told two physicians who examined him today that he is being chased by men in automobiles, but prin- cipally by the father of a seven- year old girl, who. according to the mans story. was assaulted by him while he was intoxicated. He said he regrets the assault and cannot re- call how serious it was, but the child's father. while stropping his razor, looked meaningly towards him while remarking that some people should get what Sacco and Nanzetti got"
 The investigation is being made for the purpose of determining whether or not the assault actually was committed. The examining phy- sicians said the man appears to be affected mentally but to what extent they cannot determine immediately

Coebel. former stunt aviator, and

 tgator respectively of the monoplane
 Woolaroc which won first prize in
 i the Hawaiian aerial derby, turned Howard the mainland today after a triumphal week in Hawaii. Although their reception here has heen most cordial, it lacked much of
 the spirit of gaiety that marked the festivities for Maitland, Hegenberger, Smith and Bronte. who made the air trip from Oakland few weeks ago. This was due to the sorrow occas- toned here by the disappearance of i the planes Golden Eagle, the Miss Doran and the Dallas Spirit. With Goebel on his ship today goes his prize winning plane, carefully crated and still equal to many long, hard journeys.
 It is known the two fiers stand to win upwards of S75.o00 as a result of their trans Pacific flight, This includes movie and other contracts. Goehel said today that Lieut.. Davis is 10 share one half in all proceeds from their adventure.

PACKARD IN NEW
 RISE ON MARKET
Firm Undertone Despite Poor
 Trade News

New York, Aug. A OP) - The stock market displayed a firm un- dertone today in the faces of un- favorable trade news and renewed weakness of the oil shares. Pools succeeded in lifting about score of specialties to new high prices, but hesitancy developed in U. S. Steel common, General Motors and some of the other recent leaders. Trad ing moderately heavy in volume although little public interest was apparent at the leading commission houses.
 The weekly steel trade reviews report little change in production and demand. with prices holding fairly steady. U. S. Steel common, ran into considerable profit-taking around 40, but offerings generally were well absorbed. Bethlehem, which is expected to resume divi- dends within the next few months, attained another new high record.
 Establishment of new high rec ord by Baldwin was accompanied by unconfirmed reports that Arthur E. Cutten of Chicago and two rep resentatives of the Fisher Brothers of Detroit would be elected to the board of directors at tomorrow's meeting.
 In the motor group, Packard and Nash were lifted to new tops on what appeared to be pool buying. Coppers continued to reflect the improvement in that industry with Utah, Magma and Nevada in new high ground. Public utilities also responded to reports of steadily ex- banding earnings with Electric Pow CT &5 Light and Commonwealth Power, both at new peaks. in the forefront of the advance.
 Rails held up we'll in the face of disappointing July earnings state ments and August tra.ic reports. Strength of some of the seasoned dividend payers such as Atchison, "Nickel Plate" and Delaware 6 Hudson was believed to be due in part, to accumulation by investment trusts.
 Iron Age says except for the pos sibility that the heavy tonnage products have shown a little more activity, with the small gain in these lines more in structural shapes than in plates or bars, steel buying remains on the scale of recent weeks lots so small that mills have diff culty at times in matching deliv- cry dates with the greatly curtailed rolling schedules. Eastern Penn sylvania among producing centers reports brighter business, but gen. erally there is a lack of clearly dis cernible improvement. August will evidently prove close to parity with July in production.
