By ". s. COUSINS

NEW YORK, July - Q.N.s.).--
Public utility stocks sky.roeketed
in spectacular fashion today in one
Of the busiest but most confusing
markets Of the year, while motor
stocks and few Of the weu.kn0wn
oils and industrials lost ground,
mostly a. the result Of bearish sell
ing.
The bears were beaten at the
start when stocks pushed up on the
$4,000, 900 decrease in brokers
loans, but continued buying OF
prime stocks by investment trusts
and powerful financial interests,
caught the popular stocks In . Wig
orous grasp and whirled them spec
tacularly to the highest prices ever
recorded.
General Motors and Chrysler were
under fire in the early afternoon,
thousands of shares of stock being
thrown on the market by the pro-
fessionals, in an effort to start
prices on the slump. General Motors
reacted to 69k, but buying demand
at that point was sufficient to bring
about a rally to 71T. The stock
closed at 711s. up 1s.
United States Steel wrote another
glorious market page when the
stock rose persistenly to new high
at 203A, and closed at 2OS. UP 3
points. Bethlehem closed at 119,
up 3h

GRAND JURY TO
PROBE MEXICAN
ESCAPE PLOT
Accuse Four of Trying to
Flee U. S. With S75O,OO0
Loot.

IU Z HttttU fffS6
NEW YORK, May 7-Charges
that the Mexican government wants
to execute Salvador Ateca, because
of his sympathy for the rebel cause
were made today by w. H. Fryer,
counsel for Ateca.
Ateca, Fryer, Russell 3. Matthews,
an immigration official stationed at
Ell Paso, Texas, and Antonio Gomez
Maqueco. Ateca's secretary, were
arrested in a hotel here while in
possession of $750,000, said to be loot
from Mexican banks.
Today Charles H. futile, federal
district attorney, will go before a
grand jury and ask an Indictment
against the four men on charges OF
conspiring to aid Ateca to escape to
Spain.
Fryer said Ateca owned extensive
properties in Mexico, including a
silver mine which he characterized
as priceless"
About S1,500OOO was contributed
to the Mexican rebels by Ateca,
Fryer said, and for that reason much
of Ateca's property in Mexico had
been confiscated by the federal gov
eminent.
Meanwhile, David P. Siegel,
counsel for the four men, said the
arrest of Ateca and his companions
here had been inspired by the
Mexican government which was
seeking to harass Ateca at every
opportunity.

season under another name, live
baby and everything. And the
Berkells had live baby, crying and
all, the night saw the show. I have
told you about the story concerning
this play in the regular season when
Miss Frederick brought the play
here with Zelda Sears, one of the
writer's of the play, No reason to
repeat.
Now as to the BerkeIl perform
ance Of THE Scarlet Woman" The
show hinges upon the way that
Agatha is brought to life. No doubt
about it. The other characters must
be good and all that, but Agatha
must be right.
Pauline Frederick created this
role. 7 feel that it is a compliment
to state that Miss Walker in the
Berken production does a Pauline
Frederick, Not that Miss Walker is
trying to APE" Miss Frederick at
all. Nothing like that. But this
role has certain standard and in
dividual characteristics that it must
be played in the same way whether
the ghost of Bernhardt does it or
not. The play hinges upon it.
And I can say this in all honesty
that Miss Walker is giving the most
complete and understanding char
acterization that any leading wom-
an has ever given in the Berkell
organization.
I say this in all understanding
that there may be a difference of
opinion in the lines of individual
characterization. But this / have
no doubt-Miss Walker is giving the
most complete artistic performance
I have ever seen given by a leading
woman in the Berkell organization.
This play has certain type parts.
Decidedly so. We will take the work
of Inez Wolfe as Hattie, the role
played by Zelda Sears in the Fred
erick production. 1 believe that
