The hunt for james A.
Wood, an alleged paranoid,
who shot Col. Charles N.
Joyce, prominent Washington
attorney, was spurred to fever
pitch today upon the death of
Joyce last night in Walter
Reed Hospital.
Joyce was shot as he watered
flowers in the garden Of his home in
Clarendon on August %. He was in
dying condition at Emersecy Hos
pital for some days, but improved
and was removed to Walter Reed.
Mrs. Joyce is Frustrated.

of the type which has hailucinations
OF persecution. often centering in
bitter hatred for the closest

favorable moment and then attacks.
The lawyer was the victim OF a
typical paranoid attack, doctors
said. as he was shot in the back
of the head while watering flowers.
Wood at the time of the shooting
was living in Joyce's home.

The quartet will see the first two
games OF the world series as guests
Of The Washington Times.
The winners were the only con.
testants OF several thousand who Sc
lected the same team chosen by Babe
Ruth and at the same time gave let
ters of explanation corresponding
with the views of the Sultan Of Swat.
Violated Rules
Several women were among those
who picked the correct team-Her-
man, Traynor, Hornsby, Wilson,
Foxx, jackson, Simmons, Bush,
Grove and Cochrane. However, all
of the women neglected to give ade-
quate explanations of their selec-
tions or violated other rules.
Most of the women who submitted
entries insisted in placing Ruth on
their teams. One wrote she knew
her choice of Ruth would disqualify
her, but ADDED she believed there
could be no true all-American team
which failed to include him.
The widespread circulation OF The
Washington Times was proved by
the fact that entries came from
many distant cities. Among the
cities represented were Seattle, Bat.
tie Creek. Mich: Chicago. Beaumont,
Tex, and Cincinnati.
Babe Ruth's story, telling why he
selected the various members Of the
team and pictures Of the alI.Ameri'
can players. will be found on the
sports pages today. Pictures of the
contest winners appear ON page ?.

HOOVER SEEKS
To END LOBBY
By GEORGE R. HOLMES

BY GEORGE X. HOLMES
President Hoover's threat to seek
legal action against ship.building
corporations which propagandize
against naval reduction created a
sensation In Washington today, both
In and out of Congress.
While Mr.. Hoover named no
names, he referred to the s250,000
salary suit which William B..
ghearer, a so-calIed naval expert,
has brought against three large con-
Germs on the ground that he repre-
scented them at the abortive Geneva
naval conference and elsewhere in
opposing naval disarmament. The
concerns sued by Shearer were the
Bethlehem Shipbuilding Corporation,
the Newport News Shipbuilding Cor
poration and the American Brown
Boveri Corporation.
There was a Wilsonian flare to
} Mr.. Hoover's denunciation of such
business.
This propagandist." said the
President. "has. during this past

tax selling which has depressed markets
for the past two weeks.
There were a number of cash sales
today for the purpose of converting
paper losses into income tax exemp-

of the weaker traction bonds, which
continued to sag.
The turn of the year. should see sub
Stantial recoverieS on the part of a
number of weaker industrial issues,
and German and South American de-
scriptions in the foreign list.
Trading was quiet today, reinvest-
ment buyers not being ready vet to go
into the market, tax sellers having con-
cluded their operations, and dealers not
caring to take on obligations at pre-
vailing money rates when the first week
of 1880 Is almost sure to see easier

BOSTON, December 31.--A special

situation contained in the current
Business Service Report reaches the
following conclusions:
/. While a few months ago investors
were viewing the optimistic news
through a magnifying glass, today they
are equally exaggerating the bearish
news
2. The old and much abused "cycIe
theory is still working and talk of a
new era" in finance is very much at
a discount.
3. A close study of the average price
OF all stocks listed on the New York
stock Exchange indicates that we have
been In a bear market for nearly a
year instead Of for only a couple of
months.
4. The present situation is typical of
the later stages of bear market: viz,
extreme pessimism, short selling, de-
Ginning volume Of trading on each sell
ing wave.
5. The money situation is better than
IN years, bonds have already recovered
40 per cent Of their decline and all I'M
favorable factors are being discounted

In short, the bear market is in it's later.
