Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, August 15.-Steel ingot
production for the entire industry is
running at the rate of approximately
90 per cent of capacity, compared with
slightly over "a per cent a week ago,
according to reports from the compa-
MES yesterday.
United States Steel's ingot rate is at
81 per cent, compared with slightly
more than 90 per cent last week In
dependent companies are running under
90 per cent, due to q slackening of ac-
tivity of smaller concerns. The larger
independents are showing little change
in output. A week ago the ratio of
production Of all independents was
about 9l.2 per cent Of capacity and
two weeks ago 90 per cent.
In the same week of 1928 leading
steel companies increased their rate
to 4 per cent. The Steel Corporation
increased its output from rs to 80 per
cent Of capacity, while the independents
rose from SO to u per cent.

GAINS IN DIAMOND
SALES ARE LARGE
II; =
Demand for Engagement
Rings and Fancy Stones
Shows Big Increase.
BY j. C. RoYLE.
Special Dispatch to The star.

Speclet DlSpAtch 70 the star.
NEW YORK, August 15.-Engage-
ments ring demand, coupled with the
requirements for personal adornment
of the married and unmarried women of
America, has stabilized the diamond
market of the world. This is shown
conclusively not only by reports to local
jewelers. and importers from abroad, but
by the latest figures on diamond i'm
ports into the United States.
For the last month, when, with June
marriages over, the demand should re-
lax to some extent, the figures show
that over $4,500,00 worth OF diamonds
were imported. At least that is the
valuation of the stones which passed
the customs. Some undoubtedly got in
without that formality, although the
smuggling successes are far fewer than
they we're IN previous years.
Smuggling. ...
The incentive to smuggling diamonds
will be less If Congress finally approves
the section Of the tariff bill abandoning
the 10 per cent duty ON rough stones
and scaling down the duty on cut dia-
monds from 10 to 20 per cent. This
also will tend to increase imports.
The artistic excellence of the Ameri-
can jewelry manufacturers Is also given
thorough Endorsement by the figures,
for the unset cut stones imported in
the 30-day period were valued at So
G55,8 1896. About half the stones came
from England, as is natural in view of
the British control of the diamond
mines of South Africa. Belgium. the
center of the cutting trade. sent $500 900
worth and South Africa, where the cut
ting industry has only recently been in
stalled. accounted for 100000 worth.
Brazil, one of the outposts of civiliza-
ton so far as the location of its dia-.
monds Is concerned, sent to America
only 81, 1922 worth of stones. All Of these
facts gave extreme satisfaction to the
diamond, trade all over the world. for
they showed the stability of the rough
diamond demand, the activity of the
cutting centers and the increased retail
demand.
Special Parcels.
While prices for the conventional
stones are strong and stable. remarkable
sums are being obtained for spe-
cial parcels, as the trade calls
them. There is heavy demand for
baguettes, especially parcels containing
pairs of long rectangles, half moons.
triangles and trapeziums. There is also
a demand for nelees and the smaller

Old Grave Near
Olmito Opened
By Dredge Crew

Dredge crews operating on the Al
Parker lands near Olmita partially
uncovered a coffin box Monday,
and investigation revealed that the
dredge had opened the grave OF
A. Nj. Merrell, a Texas pioneer, who
was buried near Olmito in Febru-
airy, 1909.
A son of the pioneer, R. A. Mer-
rill, who lives five miles east OF
Rio Hondo, was notified, and came
to Brownsville Wednesday to make
ARRANGEMENTS for removal OF the
body. Part Of the box was smashed
by the dredge, but the casket was
not injured.
The Merrills came to Cameron
county in 1906, residing near Ohm
ito, where the father died two years
later. The plot where he was bur-
led had been proposed as a ceme-
terry for that section Of the county,
but never was utilized for that pur-
pose. The grave was not marked.

March 13.-(P-An army Of $4,000
rebels has been massed at Torreon
for the expected battle with fed
eral troops commanded by General
P. Elias Gales, according to unof-
ficial information received at rebel
headquarters here.
If reports as to the size of the
rebel contingent at Torreon are
true, observers predict one of the
greatest battles in the history of
revolutions in this turbulent coun-
try. The army under Gales is re-
ported to be one of the largest ever
sent out by the government to quell
rebellion.
Some 5000 more rebels including
a band Of 1000 Yaqui Indians, were
reported on their way to the STRAIT
egic city.
In the territory controlled by the
rebels religious laws were abolished
and a moratorium on debts, inter
eSts on debts and bank deposits of

STARS QUAKE
in TAX FRAUD
Woman Who Aided Holly
wood Luminaries With
Reports Indicted

LOS ANGELES, March 13.-P)--
Anxiety pervaded the tasrry mo-
ton picture armament in Holly
wood today as many film celebrities
wondered how much they will owe
Uncle Sam after the investigation
Of their earnings, and whether they
will be held responsible for any i'm
proper acts attributed by federal in
come tax officials to j. Marjorie
Berger.
Miss Berger, an income tax coun-
sellor of Hollywood, was indicted
by a federal grand jury here yes
terday on "a counts Of alleged
criminal aid in preparing fraudu-
lent income tax returns for many
prominent film performers. Gov
eminent officials declared she as
sisted in defrauding the treasury
out of more than a million dol
lars in recent years.
That the apprehension of the
screen celebrities may not be Who'll
ly unfounded was evidenced by the
announcement of United States At
torney w. S. McNabb that several
idols of the movie fans may be
named in conspiracy indictments.
One of the disclosures in the in
dictment was that the gross 1927
income Of Rod LaRoque, as 'ap-
proved by Miss Berger, was $121,-
967. She made deductions totalling
S43, $40, leaving a net income Of
$77,216 upon which a tax Of $10,-
CAB was paid. The government
charged that LaRoque's gross in
come was $780, 79, and that deduc-
tons should have totalled only So
667, leaving a net income Of $173,-
Ill, upon which a tax Of $34,291
should have been paid.
