Steel, American Telephone. Gen. eral Motors, Dupont, National Bis cut. Baltimore q. Ohio and Dcla- ware X Hudson. Early gains. which ran rom l to points, were inter- sprrsod with a few weak spots ,lu- covered by the aggressive tactics Of bear traders.
 The buying movement appeared 10 have received it's inspiration from Secretary M"llon's optimistic forecast on business and credit conditions last Saturday. The rally was temporarily halted after mid day by an outbreak of selling in the oil shares and the marking up of the call money rate from 1 10 | l-2 per cent but spectators for the advance quickly regained con trol Of the price movement.

curious throng, Johnson unfolded what
he said was the true story of Tarbot's
life, declaring that his real name is
Alexander Dubois, Jr., the son of
Frenchman and an Irish woman.
The chairman then began examina-
tion of long list of witnesses through
whom, he said, he would show that in
the days Tarbot had insisted he was
fighting in France for his country, he
actually was stealing automobiles in
san Francisco" Among them was a
department of justice agent who had
looked up Tarbots record.
Across the table from the man whose
case has attracted Hation-wid atten-
tion and who has proved an enigma
to members of congress, whose aid was
solicited in obtaining governmental
relief, sat Mrs. Flora Dove Lange, a
rather plain woman of AZ, who, in a
calm and confident manner told of
her marriage at Toledo, Ohio, in De-
cember 1917, to Howard Franchis-
Noble" and then nodded to the swarthy
Tarbot and said:
THAT is the man / married"
Mrs. uekahl-Seiple of Sharon, Pa,
testified that before her marriage she
was a cashier for a motion picture in
house in Sharon and that she talked
with and occasionally went out with
Tarbot, but when she spoke of him she
always said Mr. Noble" In those
days, Mrs. Seiple declared, Tarbot was
a mechanic for an automobile concern
and while he was "a gentleman, good
humored and generous he had a high
temper"
The third witness was r. p. Burruss,
a special agent for the department of
Justice He testified that he had been
assigned to the Tarbot case by the
department at the request of Johnson
He began a long detailed explanation
of his investigation which was term-
mated by adjournment. He resumed
when the committee reconvened for an
other session tonight.
After the day session had adjourned,
Chairman Johnson explained that he
had "a clear case against Tarbot.''
Asked how Tarbot ever came to pose
as a veteran with lost memory, Mr..
Johnson explained that after he had
been charged with stealing automo-
biles on the west coast, his attorneys
had him declared insane to escape pun
ishment.
HE got out of the asylum some
way" Johnson said, "and started pos
