"You might, you great big gorgeous football hero. ksA-

added further to her discomfort of bending over her hand

Vivian snatched her hand from him and, blushing fu-

BY ELMER G. WALLER
Omitted Press staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Nov. -. W.H-The
stock market was on the bull side
again today. While profit taking
preceding the two day exchange
holiday brought prices down some
from their early trading highs, the
market generally held gains Of j
to points above the previous close.
Trading picked up in volume as
the session wore On. Buying orders
came in large amounts on both the
curb and stock exchanges, traders
cramming into the three hour ses-
sion more business than has been
seen in many five hour sessions of
Il few weeks ago.
The redeeming feature today was
distinct ease of credit. Call money
got down to 5H per cent in the
stock exchange and was at Az per
cent on the outside market. Bank
ers acceptances were cut again and
time money was easier.
Other bullish factors included n
AZ rediscOunt rate, the lowest
brokerage loan total since April
%, 1928; virtually pegging of U. s.
Steel at one lower than $50 on a
block of 100000 shares at valua-

Standard Oil ot New Jersey with
an order in for 100000 shares at
$50 n share or $5O,O00,00O worth

TWO KILLED AS
CAR PL0WS INTO
BIG COAST STAGE

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. Is. U.H
Two separate Investigations were
under way today of the collision on
the highway near here yesterday
between an autoobile and pen
insula Rapid Transit stage, in which
a man and woman were killed and
nine persons injured.
The driver of the automobile,
Mike Messina, ~, of San Jose, and
Mrs. J. P. Deepenbrook, 81, San
Francisco, a passenger in the stage,
were killed, and Fred Alpen, Burl-
ingame, the stage driver, was un-
conscious today. Eight stage pass
engers were less seriously hurt.
Coroner's deputies were investi-
eating charges that an empty whis-
key bottle was found in Messina's 8
pocket after the crash, while the
stage line was conducting another
investigation into the fatal acci-
dent.
According to witnesses, Messina's
ear suddenly left line of traffic,
during the evening heavy rush
hours, and plowed directly into the
oncoming stage, ripping its way
through the full length of the bus
which was half filled with pass
cngers.

BIRMINGHAM, Ala, Nov.15.-
U.A;-Rivers of Alabama threat

Warnings to persons living in the

The Coosa river near Gadsden was
at flood stage ana had overshot its
banks in lowlands east of that city.
Street car service was disrupted to

GREAT NORTHERN
STAND ATTACKED
BYS.P.LAWYERS
Railroad Battle Over Ex-
tension Wakes Hot At
Hearing.
By GEORGE D. CRISSEY
United Press Staff Correspondent

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. -. U.H
After being passive for two days
the Southern Pacific turned sharply
end savagely today and attacked the
Great Northern-W estern Pacific con-
tention that connecting line was
needed between those two railroads.
G. l.. Gardiner, resource engineer
of Portland, Ore, was summoned to
the stand for cross examination. He
was the first witness of the third
day of the Interstate Commerce Com
mission hearing on the Great North
ern- Western Pacific application to
build 200 miles of road from Klam-
ath Falls, Ore, to Keddie, Calf.
f. j. Fouchs, Southern Pacific
counsel, directed the attack and in
dicated clearly the Southern Pacific
basic objections to the proposed con
struction.
Gardiner testified yesterday that
the region to be traversed by the
proposed route was rich in agricul-
tural resources and that it contained
81 800, 100000 feet of uncut timber.
The territory surveyed by Gardi-
ner was a strip the length of the pro-
posed line, 200 miles, and varying
from 45 to 100 miles in width.
care you an agricultural expert" ?"
Fouchs demanded and the witness
admitted he was not but claimed
that he had a general knowledge of
soil conditions and about farming in
general.
Gardiner was asked if the strip
of territory he surveyed was closer
in any instance to existing lines
! than it would be to the proposed line
hut the witness stood firm on this
point and insisted that the general
benefit of the line would be to the
region he had mapped.
The trend of the Southern Pacific
cross examination was that the ter
! ritory now without transportation
would not support railroad and that
the investment of $13,000,0O0 was
not justified.

of the nation last night in radio
speech by Chairman Caraway of the

Caraway made sweeping denuncia-

claring lobbying tends "to destroy
the confidence of the messes in the
integrity of their government and
thus break down public morale"
He classcd the majority of lobby
lists as "parasitcs". "They have no
acquaintance with men in public
life" he said, "cither in the execu-
tive or legislative branches. They
seek to exercise no influence. They
gather in the widows mite and the
children's pennies and appropriate
them to their own use. In return
they give nothing"

ITALY'S STAND
ON SUBMARINES
B0THERS FRANCE
Latter Determined To
Fight For Retention OF
UnderSea Boats.
BY STEWART BROWN
United Press Staff Correspondent)

PARIS, Nov. II. U.p)-France ap-
pcared far less concerned today
over the governments apparent in
tcntion of continuing its naval
building program than with the
seeming reluctance of Italy to re-
main firm with France against any
attempt to abolish the submarine
at the forthcoming five power naval
conference.
Proceeding under the belief that
Italy was only too ready to join
her in opposing the United States
and Great Britain to retain the un-
dersea craft, France already had
started preliminary conversations
with Rome regarding the stand the
two nations would take at the Janu-
ary conference. The reaction of the
Mussolini government to President
Hoover's Armistice day speech for
freedom of the seas, however, tend
cd to arouse considerable question
here as to whether Italy might not
be leaning toward the two English
speaking nations in favor of abol-
ishing the submarine. The CONVEX
sations are now awaiting PROPOSE
tions from Rome. 1t was under
stood that Minister of Marine
George Leygues will attend the five
power conference to defend subma-
rincS.
Frances stand for retention OF
the submarine has been clearly out
lined as defense policy and al
though it does not relish being
forced to face 'ho opposition of
Great Britain and the United
States alone at the conference, it
is determined to go ahead with its
naval building program which pro-
vides for the construction of six
first class 1900 ton submarines.
Not Rea, Increase
Unlike Britain, which earlier in
the week moved to delay naval
building, France believes its 1880
program, as presented to the naval
commission of the chamber of depu.
ties by Ministe: Leygues, is more
on the order of substitution of
modern craft for antiquated pre-.
war vessels andship than defi-
mite move toward increased tonnage
and strength.
Tho naval bill on which Minis
ter Leygues hopes to be able to
start construction by January, will
increase Frances naval tonnage to
$4,000 tons, although $4,000 tons
of that total VIII be represented
in pre-war ships and $4,000 tons
more in vessels ceded by the Ger.
mans after the war, which leaves
only 100000 tons of new tonnage to
be constructed.

MASKED BANDITS
HOLD UP GUESTS
OF MILLIONAIRE

BUFFALO, N. Y, Nov. Is. U.P)-
Frank b. Baird, millionaire, today
explained the unusual rewards he
offers for the capture of seven ban
dts who entered the home of John
l.. Carson last night and robbed
guests of about 100000 in iewelry.
Baird's offer il $4,000 for the ar
rest and identification of each of
the bandits, or $4,000 for the iden-
tification of each of their bodies.
Baird was the builder of the Peace
bridge which connects Buffalo and
Canada.
81 am offering these rewards in
the interest of good citizenship"
Baird said. "Such criminals as those
who committed that crime, and who
are obviously dope fiends, must be
hunted down and got dead or alive.
"lf authorities, in apprehending
these men, are forced to resort to
gunfire, then the reward should be
greater than if they capture them
alive"
The seven bandits, all masked in
white handkercAiefs and each car
rying two guns, entered by a French
window and ordered all the guests
to back to the wall and raise their
hands.
Several of the guests believed the
holdup to be a prank played by
friends and joked with the bandits.
One woman, police said, was kicked
and thrown under table when she
attempted to tear the mask from
one of the men. Another man, it
was said, was struck across the face
and threatened with his life when
he remarked that one of the bandits
revolvers was "Quite a nice looking
thing"
Police reported the bandits tore
watches, rings, shit studs and neck
gems from all the guests. Several
of the gang entered upper rooms and
made off with evening coats and
wraps.
