HotD the Market
Opened
BY ELMER c. WALLER,
United Press Financial Editor

NEW YORK, April 13-After a
slightly firmer opening, stocks ran
into the usual weekend realizing
today and the prices turned
irregular
United Aircraft and Transport
continued to feature the upside,
rising 2 to a new high at 91M on
a sale of 1000 shares.
Gains ranging from fractions to
a point we're scored by Bethlehem
Steel, General Motors, Sears Roe
buck, United States Steel, Erie.
Pennsylvania and New Haven.
Business was on quiet scale, due
to the uncertainties overhanging the
money market as mid-month settle
ments are made at the beginning
OF the new week. Call money held
over the weekend at 7 per cent.
but was expected to stiffen next
week when checks for mid-month
payments are presented to the
banks.
Special issues continued to forge
ahead in the early trading. Elec-
tric Auto-Lite was carried up q
point to 148, while Postum rose Ia
to 697s and Texas Gulf Sulphur
frmed up fractionally to a25s.
General Motors, after opening at
36, up q, rose to 862s and held
strong in fairly active turnover.
Stromberg Carburetor scared four
points to SO, a new high record.
Strength in this issue, General Mo-
tors and Electric Auto-Li5e, was a
reflection Of Wall streets reaction to
the large merger of aviation acces-
sorry companies headed by Bendix
Corporation just announced.
Radio declined fractionally and
small losses were sustained by In
ternational Nickel, American Can,
Montgomery Ward, Missouri Pacific
and several other recent gamers.
United States Steel eased off from
its opening of 100, up Il, and other
leading issues, with the exception of
General Motors, barely held steady.
Copper shares were about steady,
oils quiet and rails and motors firm.

In the Stock Market

NEW YORK, April 13.---With SO
many congressional suggestions and
criticisms of federal reserve policy
and stock market uses Of credits it
would not be at all surprising to see
this situation become rather promi-
nent in the special session Of con-
gress which opens Monday. Should
this develop it is likely to take pre-
cedence for the time being over
most constructive developments and
accentuate the nervousness Of price
movements. The Forthcoming United
States Steel stock split-up, the con-
fident tone of trade reviews con-
cerning the business future, prog
ress Of the oil conservation plan,
stabilization of copper prices, these
are all cheerful things to keep in
mind. But we doubt if the mar
ket will make more than spasmodic
response to the market until legls-
lative and credit uncertainties are
behind US.

SAVE 9 FROM
DEATH IN SEA
Coast Guards Are Rushed
to Rescue of Resort.

HAMPTON BEACH, N. H,
April 13.-Coast guards in row
boats rescued nine persons, includ-
ing four children, and nearly a
score of others escaped unassisted
early today, when giant seas swept
over the boulevard here and bat
tered thirty cottages.
A small garage and several pi-
azzas we're washed cut to sea, and
for time the White Island section
Of the beach near Hampton river
bridge was cut off
Working under the glare OF
searchlights, the coast guards, n
charge of Captain Eden Godfrey
and assisted by f1remen, battled for
more than two hours in the roaring
surf to rescue those trapped in the
fragile cottages.
-Four feet of water had risen
around one of the houses before
the rescuerS succeeded in taking out
the eight occupants.
Other cottages were undermined,
and it was feared that the next tide,
this afternoon, would result in sew
eral buildings being swept to sea.
The boulevard, ordinarily more
than 200 yards from the high water
mark, was under two feet Of water,
and the sea swept inland for quar-
ter of a mile.

Attacks Coffin Rule in
Statement Withdrawing
From Mayor Race.

Charles w. JeWett, former mayor
and vigorous opponent Of city man
ager government, stood pledged to-
day to support the Indianapolis City
Manager League ticket if the state
supreme court does not hold the
city manager law invalid.
JeWett withdrew as a candidate
for the Republican nomination for
mayor under the federal form of
government late Friday, accom-
panying his action with a scorching
denunciation of George V. Coffin,
Republican district and city chair
man.
Anticipating the city manager act
might be held unconstitutional, the
Coffin organization filed slate for
the May city primaries headed by
George L. Winkler, county sheriff,
for the Republican nomination for
mayor. Other Republican mayor
atty candidates. declared were j.
Clyde Hoffman, state senator,
friendly to city manager govern
ment; Thomas A. Daley, former
state senator and Coffin foe, and
John L. Duvall, former mayor.
Scandals Cited
THE political leadership of
George V. Coffin in this city is re-
sponsible for the scandals which
gave us notoriety from coast to
coast" Jewett's statement began.
Jewett reviewed Coffn's alliance
with D. c. Stephenson, their con-
tribution to the misfortunes of the
Jackson administration" and de
clared Coffin leadership elected
Duvall and then wrecked Duvall
and gave Indianapolis Democratic
mayor" He deplored the appoint
nent of Coff1n's lieutenant"
Charlie, as business manager of the
school city.
Jewett charged Coffin leadership
was responsible for the election of
a Democratic congressman from the
Seventh district while Hoover was
sweeping the state in an over
whelming Republican victory. Link
ing of Cofin's name with Leslie
in Marion county lost the Governor
the county, JeWett said.
Explaining that he had filed for
mayor only to protect the Republi-
can ticket in event the city man
ager law was held unconstitutional,
Jewett asserted that the filing of
other anti-Cof1n names served the
same purpose and, therefore, I
welcome the opportunity to with
draw my name as a candidate, to
the end that the opposition to
Coffin will to that extent be more
unified"
Will Fight Coffin
If the manager law is held un-
constitutional, and a primary elec-
ton is held May 7, JeWett declared
he would fight Coffin. If nothing
interrupts the election of city COM
missionerS under the manager form
in November, Jewett said he will
support the leaders of the City
Manager League in their efforts to
elect representative commissioners,
with the same degree of enthusiasm
that has characterized my opposi-
ton to the manager plan"
Predicting Coffin will strive to
elect a majority of the commission
ers, Jewett declared, ut becomes in
f1nitely more important that all
good citizens having an unselfisn
interest in the city should be united
in their efforts to prevent the cap
ture of the new form Of government
by the Coffin forces"

TWO GET DEATH RIDE
Bodies Found in Automobile
Near Cicero Hotel.

BU THHCd Press
CHICAGO, April 13.-Two men
were found shot to death today in a
sedan in an alley behind the West
ern hotel in Cicero.
The bodies, huddled on the floor
of the rear seat, we're found by
Policeman George Price, after he
had pursued unSucceSsfully two
men whom he had challenged as
they stood beside the automobile.
The officer reported that he had
pursued the two men for several
blocks, firing as he ran. When he
returned he found the two bodies.
Both victims were well dressed
and the presence Of valuables in
their clothing precluded the theory
of robbery, police said. Examina-
ton indicated both had been dead
at least six hours.
Police believed the two had been
taken for a ride" and their bodies
returned to Cicero to turn suspicion
from the actual Slayers.

Colorful Career.

ENGINEER, freighter, packer, COW
~ puncher, stunt man, prospector,
Government mail carrier, legitimate
actor, screen Star-these are some of
the varied callings of Jack Holt, who
plays the leading role in The Dono-
van Affair" Columbia's all-talking
mystery drama.
Hollis entire career tends toward
versatility. The son of a prominent
TEpiscopalian minister, he was educated
to follow his fathers footsteps. How
ever, he decided a military career would
be more to his liking and accordingly
was sent to the Virginia Military Insti-
tute. But the Army failed to interest
him as permanent calling and he felt
a longing for adventure. The wander
lust brought him to Alaska where he
remained for six years, working first
as an engineer, then, in succession,
freighter, packer, prospector and Gov
eminent mail carrier. Holt came back
10 the States, became a COW puncher
IN oregon, and then migrated to Cali
fornia. In San Francisco he met Will
lam Nigh, the director, who was look
ing for a stunt man for a picture he
was producing at San Rafael. Holt was
very much at home in the saddle and
the situation of jumping horse over a
35-foot cliff into a river was built to
order for him. He sustained two broken
ribs, but the incident was the begin
ming of a spectacular film career.

had heard the expression often" she
said, but it didn't really occur to me
that it meant taking things in the chin

In this business you have to work
under such adverse conditions. Some
one in the company IS bound to be sick,

one who is not good trouper, or some
personality that is awful to be around
You get on the set and maybe your
dress is wrong. All you can do is simply
make the best of It,"
Being good trouper, evidently they
don't handle Bessie Love with kid gloves
