plishing what a few weeks ago had
been deemed almost impossible.
United States Marines today were
firmly established on the summit
of FL Chipote, the mountain strong
hold recently occupied by the rebel
leader, General SANDING.
At the peak was a force Of
about 400 marines apd Nicaraguan
constabulary, commanded by Major
Archibald D. Young. who led his
command slowly and carefully on
the side of the mountain in two
day march. FL Chipote is about
5000 feet high.
Although definite details were
lacking and news of the occupa-
ton was brought back by marine
airplane scouts, it was reported
that rebel opposition to the marine
advance was strong. Definite
casualties were not known, al
though it was reported here that
two marines had been wounded.
The marine patrol started the
ascent to the actual peak yester-
day. A considerable force of rebels
sought to defend the stronghold
and others continued sniping at
the column, but after two hours the
marines occupied the top.
All the defenders had fled and
as yet there was no news of the
whereabouts of General SANDING,
who is known to have been
wounded during the recent bombing
raid by marine aviators.
Quilali, the former operating base
Of the marines has been abandoned

Mr. Hoffar has been a dog fancier
for SO years, but for the last 10 years
has devoted most of his time to the
care and study of whippets. It was not
until the Spring of 1927 that he became
sufficiently interested in whippet racing
to enter the field himself. He then pur-
chased a small female whippet. Darky,
who had been entered in the National
Handicap races held at Griffith Sta
dunn and organized by Miss Hazel
Grant Edgar of this city,
Darky has since been entered In
several races and is an expertly trained
dog. Mr.. Hoffar is now engaged in the
raising and training of Darky's two
puppies, Bit Fashion and Gray Ghost,
4 months old, whom he hopes to
have in shape for the races to be held
In Washington next Spring.
Members Of the club are now placing
great hope in the new puppies which
are being trained for the coming races.

hold races in Washington shortly after
Une close of the Winter season.
Training is Tedious.
Back of the whippet's performance in
running 40 miles an hour along q
straight course, bent on outdiStancing
his competitors, lies months of tedious
training, according to Mr.. Hoffar. 1.-The
training of whippet for racing" he
said, sis usually begun when the puppy
is from three to four months DID,
''The dog IS then ragged or teased
with piece of old cloth, which he likes
to bite and hold, as do most puppies.
He gradually developes such a desire
for this cloth that the minute he sees
it he springs for 1t, grabs it and clings
to it tenaciously.
when the puppy is about six months
old he is taken to the tapes where he
is taught to run IN the single track
marked off by a tape stretched about
10 inches from the ground This is the
most difficult part of a whippet'S train
ing. and the most important, for, if,
when racing, a dog leaves his track
he is disqualified from the race.
''The track is usually about 200 yards
long. A man holding the dog is sta
toned at one end of the track, while
another man, whom the dog knows and
likes it at the other end, where be

"A whippet in a race runs at an
average rate of 40 miles an hour and
although the track is comparatively
short, winner is entered into several
heats before the final eliminations,
which necessitates his covering lot of

ulative interest in this weeks mar
kets was divided between the con-
tinuation Of the sharp upward move
ment Of stock prices and the collapse
in crude rubber quotations to the
lowest levels since 1924. Bond prices
held firm, with some good gains re-
corded by the semispeculative lines
Foreign exchange rates held steady
in rather featureless trading.
The advance in stock prices took

mcnts. These included q huge in
crease in brokers' loans, which are
now at record high levels; a falling
off in freight car traffic, an increase
in crude oil production, further ex-
ports Of gold, stiffening money rates,
omission of the U. S. Rubber pre-
ferred dividend and indications that
the reduction in federal taxes would
be less than previously expected.
There were few offsetting de-
velopments, most important Of which
was the reported agreement Of east
ern railroad executives on q four.
trunk-line consolidation plan. The
increase in the regular Atchison
dividend from 81 to $40 annually and
the optimistic statements on busi-
ness conditions by Walter Chrysler,
automobile manufacturer, and Presi-
dent Parsons of the F. w. Wool
worth company helped to maintain
bullish enthusiasm.
The break in rubber followed the
announcement Of Premier Baldwin
that British export restrictions
would be abandoned on November l
next. Crude rubber dropped s cents
a pound the first day and two cents
more the second day after the an
nouncement. touching new low
level around 10 cents, but it made
partial recovery later. Rubber
shares were weak in sympathy.
Airplane stocks featured the trad
ing on the New York stock exchange,
both Wright Aeronautical and Cur
tiss soaring to new high levels on
buying influenced by expectations Of
large government and private con-
tracts. General Motors was sluggish
early in the week but started for
ward at brisk pace on Thursday on
reports that new pool had been
organized in that issue. Other
motors advanced in sympathy, Pack
ard mounting to new peak price.
Radio was reactiOnary most Of the
week. Officials of the exchange an
nounced after the close Thursday
that no further reports would be
required of detailed transactions in
that stock, indicating that the recent
investigation had failed to disclose
evidence Of the technical corner"
believed to have been created when
the stock started on wild rampage
about month ago.
Steels were laggards this week.
Public utilities presented several
points of strength, particularly
among the New York traction and
gas shares. Oils were under steady
accumulation with sharp advances
in Atlantic refining and Richfield
oil of California among the features
in that group.
Railroad shares gave one Of the
most impressive demonstrations Of
group strength the general average
mounting to new high level for the
year. New peak prices for tho year,

Authorities Believe Dread Of
Poorhouse Caused Mrs.
Nancy Lynn of Fouke, Ar

Town Well-Those Poisoned
Will Recover

Fouke, Ark April Tap -
Dread Of the poorhouse was believed
to have driven 7O-year-old Mrs.
Nancy Lynn to attempt the EXTERN
ination Of 800 people, the inhabitants
Of this lumber camp.
When virtually all of the camps
inhabitants, men, women and chill
dren, were taken i'll with symptoms
Of severe poisoning, the community
well was plumbed. There over q
pound Of poison was found and in.
vestigation revealed that Mrs. Lynn
had purchased a quantity Of poison
short time ago, officers said. To-
day Mrs. Lynn, with her brother
Morris, faced charges Of assault with
intent to kill.
Valuable timber holdings had been
left to Mrs. Lynn's children by their
father and these had been sold ia
operators who owned the camp al
which the poisoning took place. Mrs
Lynn, her children said, had tried ia
prevent the sale Of the timber, hold.
ing to the idea that once her chill.
dren had received their money she
would be left penniless and q charge
Of the community.
Authorities, reconstructing the
case, held to the theory that by ex-
terminating the lumbermen and their
families, Mrs. Lynn believed cutting
of the timber would be averted and
her safety from poverty insured. In
jail, Mrs. Lynn would say nothing.
The poisoned were all believed to-
day to have an even chance to re.
cover. Children were the worst suf-
ferers.
