proceed together. and for moral disarma-
men:, he considered international arbi-

the optional clause should be the first
step. Lord ~Cushenden, replying for the
Government, pointed out that Great
Britain had gone far ahead Of other

did not. however, think that the sigma

STOCKS F[UCTUATE
IN HEAVY BUYING
Advances Predominant as
Wave of Speculation Sweeps
Over Market.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 6.-With
trading proceeding even faster than
Yesterday, the stock market turned
reactionary today. Notwithstanding
bullish demands in u. S. Steel, in
some of the oils and in certain special
ties Selling was heaviest in the after
noon after money had gone to 8 per
cent. The tape fell an hour and more
behind and the turnover was at rate
of more than 100000 shares. The
speculative fire burned furiously all day.
The list was predominantly higher in
the forenoon, as it was lower in the
second half of the session, but there
was never any uniformity. Among the
larger losses were those in American
Smelling & Refining and in Radio.
The motors were heavy and General
Majors was down decidedly. and yet
there was little or no weakness. 1t was
a market about which congratulations
were peculiarly unsafe.
u. S. Steel Is Leader.
United States Steel took the place of
General Motors as leader. Steel had
been heavy yesterday, when motors was
going up so fast 1t started in frac-
tionally higher today, but dragged
throughout the first hour. Then, al
most without warning, it began to shoot
ahead until before noon it had crossed
1856 TO new high record for the year
and only points under the high
for all time made in September of
1927. Enormous blocks changed hands
and stories we're revived of some special
distribution
Next to the steel stocks, the oils at
tracted the most attention. They had
developed strength in the last half
hour Wednesday, all of which was car
ried over to the opening today. 1t is
doubtful whether there was any trade
development back of this movement
either. 1t was simply another case Of
organized buying by powerful groups.
New highs for the year were reached
by Texas Corporation, California Petro-
leum, Barnsdall "a" and TideWater
Associated. Texas Corporation was the
leader crossing 10 in volume. Other
oil stocks responded more or less.
Selling in Motors.
Meanwhile the motors we're being sold.
General Motors, which had touched 207
Wednesday, came down close to 203, and
minor losses were sustained by Hupp,
Packard and Others although Chrysler
at the opening did manage to make a
new high by a small fraction. The
motor accessories did much better.
Stewart Warner was outstandingly
strong at the best of the year, above l04.
Realizing carried prices of the copper
and mining stocks down without any
serious decline. Rails were quiet.
Money renewed at ~ per cent and
went to 8 per cent shortly after mid
day.

POWER MERGER HINTED.

BALTIMORE, September (SpeciaD,
With Arthur w Thompson. head of
United Gas Improvement of Phila-
delphia. a director of the Consolidated
Gas. Electric Light e. Power Co. OF
Baltimore, the belief persists in local
financial circles that some day will see
the local power companies more closely
linked with the Mellon-controlled utili-
ties.
Consolidated Gas. Electric Light g.
Power, Pennsylvania Water & Power,
Washington, Baltimore & Annapolis
Electric Railway; Annapolis e. Chesa-
peake Bay Power and Northern Mary
land Electric are all closely affiliated
and any eventual deal by which Mellon
interests dominate the Consolidated
Co. probably would involve control OF
all the other companies.

LONDON VIBRATION
 PROBLEM STUDIED
Attempt Being Made to Reduce
 Jarrin8 l City

London, Nov. 2.-N1Lest the old houses of Londontown should come tumbling down, or the dwellers go frantic with nerves. engineers are working on the problem of how to keep the streets from vibrating with traffic.
 It is no mean problem, for the ve- hicles on the streets and under ground become heavier and heavier.
 Recent investigations show how difficult it is to make generaliza- tions. In one of the widest streets there was noticeable vibration at the back of the houses and no vii bration in front, though the source of vibration was in front.
 One of the most surprising re- suits was the finding that the sub ways, instead of setting up vibra- tion, actually deaden it. The engi- neers explained that tunnels. base ments, cable-tubes, and the like, all break the vibrations.
 "One might even say that the more the earth is honeycombed and built up underground with different kinds of structures, the greater the likelihood that vibrations produced underground 'by an existing subway would fail to reach the surface as readily as before." declared Harley H. Dalrymple- Hay. civil engineer.
 At present, subway trains are run on a plan whereby the major DOT tion of the load on the aXles is car ried by springs and is distributed

Belgians Training
 "Untamable" Elephants

Cambridge. MaaA. Nov. 2.R- How supposedly untamable African elephants are trained by Belgian Congo officials to become farm serv- ants. each equivalent to tractor "plus." is discloAed by members of a Harvard expedition recently re- turned from Africa. Frederick R. Wulsin of Peabody Museum led the expedition.
 The "plus" lin the elephants fa- vor is that after doing a days work equivalent to that of a tractor he gathers his food free of cost in the forest, where 1t grows wild. while the gasoline 'feed" of tractors is expensive in the Congo.
 African elephants long had a rep utation for incurable ferocity, and the accomplishment of the Belgians in learning how to domesticate them is new. The successful train- ing is due to catching the elephants young. Numbers of them have been given to settlers for farm work.
 The Peabody expedition was sponsored by the Laura Spelman Rockefeller Fund.
