By United Press
NEW YORK, May 25-Confi-
dence restored by a reduction OF
SAG 100000 in brokerage loans due to
the shake-out in prices earlier i'll
the week and late last week, the
stock market today resumed bullish
demonstrations under the Lead OF
an old faVorite, United States Steel.
Steel common was accumulated in
a heavy volume, the prices rising
to 148, compared with its previous
close OF 145A. A few days ago it
was selling below 143.
Radio staged another of its pyro-
technical displays, rising from a
low of the day of 1881 to 205 in 4
row of advances in the afternoon.
AT the peak for the day, the issue
was up II points
Wright and Curtiss Aero also
moved widely the latter at one time
selling as 14424, up Al, ad Wright
TO 1872, up A. Both these issues lost
= part of the gains in subsequent
transactions.
COppers BuOyant
Copper shares were buoyant due
TO rise to Is cent in the price of
export copper
Kennecott, Howe Sound, Greene
Eananea, Magma, Inspiration and
american Smelling made the wild
Rst gains in this group.
Studebaker featured the motors
I'm activity and strength, rising to
the highest levels in the history of
the present stock REQ also de-
Neloped exceptional strength on
operations ascribed to pool activity.
Mail order shares, particularly
Montgomery Ward and Scar Roe
buck spurted several points, while
many special issues, including the
Harvester shares and independent
steels, made good advances. Oils
and rails we're dull.
Trading Not Too Active
Trading was considerably more
active than Thursday, but the tape
was able to keep pace with tran
sactions
Describing the market, the Wall
Street Journals financial review
said:
Further ammunition for the re-
coVery from the recent break was
furnished by the decrease of APP
proximately $46,OOO,OOO in brokers'
loans during the week ended May
g. In conjunction with a slightly
stronger position in the reserve
ratios of both the local regional
banks and the system as a whole,
this reduction stimulated demand
for representative stocks. New highs
on the rally were reached by trad
ing favorites.

DENIES H0RNSbY
 WAS A WELSHER
Attorney William Fahey Rgpon.
 sible for Gambling Defense

St. Louis Jan. 13 R1Strong denial of charges that Rogers Hornsby was a welsher was made in g. long statement issued today by Hornsby's attorney. William F. Fahey, who took upon himself full responsibility for the gambling de- fense made in the recent suit of Frank Moore. Kentucky betting commissioner. to collect $92.0O0.
 "The gamblers may be after him because Of Moore and the gamblers code" Fahey said, but the fact re- mains in my opinion, that Hornsby is not only a great player and leader, but after a years close. contact with him, have found him a real man in every respect"
 The statement was authorized by Kornsby who signed it with Fahey.;
 Fahey said that when Moore made his claim, Hornsby declared he did not owe Moore a cent, but told Fahey to listen to Moore's story and examine his evidence and if Fahey decided that was any indebtedness, Hornsby would pay Moore, no mat ter what the total might be.
 "The jury simply could not believe Moore" the statement says. They could not help believing Hornsby.' D

WOMAN. IS SLAIN
 WHILE SHE PRAYS
Brooklyn Assassin Then Makes
 Good His Escape

New York. Jan. IS (UP)-Sorrow visited the Italian tenements of Brooklyn today while thousands mourned for Mrs. Rose Licata, known as The Saint" who was shot to death as she knelt in prayer be- fore the altar in her home last night.
 While Italians from all over the city, who had prayed with their Saint" and felt the comfort of her blessing, tried to console her grief stricken husband and five children, police searched for Santo Nicastro, the assassin.
 Nicastro was believed a religious fanatic. He visited the tenement shrine of Mrs. Licata often, praying for hours in the room dlmly- Lighted by tall tapers and adorned with statues and relics of the Saints. But Mrs. Licata feared him.
 ''He spoke of killing me as sac riffce," she told her husband one day.
 But the husband laughed her fears away, and yesterday afternoon Mrs. Lica,a welcomed Nicastro without alarm.
 Another woman, Mrs Rose Lom- bardi, had come a few minutes earlier, to pray that the baby she was expecting might be boy. With The Saint" and Nicastro, she kneeled before the crude little altar.
 They prayed for three hours.
 Then suddenly Ncastro rose. Mrs Iombardi saw the gleam of frenzy in his black eyes. Terror-stricken, she watched him slowly draw a re- volser from his pocket and. with out word, fired two bullets into the kneeling form of Mrs. Licata. As she sank 10 the floor he fled.
 A 9-year-old son found the visitor wringing her hands and wailing over the body when he entered the house two hours later. He screamed an alarm, and neighbors filled the tene- ment, increasing the waiiing. When the police were notified and ob tained a description of the slayer. Nicastro had had ample opportun- ity to escape and hide.
