was rich in "a naval heritage" if ever
any American family was, and it is
not to be wondered at, perhaps, that
Oliver Hazard Perry and Matthew
Calbraith Perry should distinguish
themselves aboard ship.
Although Christopher Perry, the IA
ther of the two naval heroes, was only
thirteen years old at the outbreak of
the Revolution, he Immediately en-
listed in the Kingston Reds and served
in the Continental army. He next
served on a privateer, then on board
the Mifflin, was captured by the Brit
ish and for three months endured the
horrors of the British prison ship,
Jersey. Escaping from the Jersey,
Perry enlisted on the Trumbull under
Capt. James Nicholson and had a
part in the brilliant victory over the
British privateer, Watt, in 1879. Later
he was captured again and sent to
Newry, Ireland, as prisoner of war.
There he became acquainted with
Sarah Alexander, pretty Scotch girl,
whose grandfather had fed from Scot
land to Ireland and who had been left
an orphan in her childhood. At the
close of the war Christopher shipped
as seaman on a British ship bound
for America. Sarah Alexander was a
passenger on the same ship and upon
her arrival at the home of DR.. Benja-
min Rush in Philadelphia, Christopher
sought her out and they were mar
ried. He took his bride to the Perry
homestead in Rhode Island, house
that looked out toward the sea and
from which her husband and her sons
were to "go down to the sea in ships
and become officers in the navy.
There were five of them-Oliver
Hazard, Raymond III. J., Matthew
Calbraith, James Alexander and Ma
thareal Hazard. As if this contribu-
ton to her adopted country's sea
forces was not enough, two of her
three daughters married naval officers,
Capt. George w. Rodgers and DR.. Will
liam Butler! The influence of this
mother on her sons had much to do
with their later fame. She told them
stories of her warrior ancestors in
Scotland; she closely supervised their
education, she fitted them to CON-
mand by teaching them to obey" and
when, still in their teens, they an
swered the call of the sea, she sent
them forth cheerfully. She lived to
see all of them make honorable rec
ords in the service of their country
and two of them win fame and one of
them receive the highest honors which
his countrymen could pay him.
He was Oliver Hazard Perry, born
August %, 1885 in the home which is
soon to be opened as the Commodore
Perry Memorial. He entered the navy
as midshipman at the age Of four
teen when war with France seemed
inevitable. But it was not until Com
modore Preble was sent to subdue the
Barbary pirates that he saw his first
active service in the war with Tripoli.
In 1910 he was commissioned a lieu
tenant and placed in command of the
schooner Revenge. The Revenge was

STOCKS ARE WEAK
IN HEAVY SELLING
Steady Pressure Is Exerted
on List Throughout
the Day.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.


Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 13-Forced down
by relentless pressure, today's stock
market registered sharp declines IN all
kinds of industrial shares. The selling,
which was in evidence directly at the
start, grew in volume and effectiveness
as the session went on and support
failed to appear
BY midafternoon the higher priced
issues were breaking point between
sales. New lows on the movement were
reached in such standard issues as
United States Steel. General Motors and
American Can, while the highly specu-
lative type, such as United Aircraft,
broke violently. Aircraft at 1877 was
off almost IA points. Wright Aero
nautical, around 134, was off points.
Bearish RumOrs.
Copper stocks, heavy in the forenoon,
turned definitely weak in the second
half of the day. Anaconda lost nearly
points and Greene Cananea almost
as much Mail order stocks slumped
6 and points. All the motors were
weak.
The street was filled with rumors, but
all of them were denied when an
authority could be reached. One was
that Secretary Mellon had resigned,
and this the Treasury Department. at
washington scotched. Another was that
the Federal Reserve Board had been
called in conference with President
Hoover, which was likewise proved TO
be without foundation. AS matter
of fact it was the market that caused
the rumors and not the rumors Whlcn
affected the market.
Short covering steadied the list in the
last hour. There was little or no other
support. There was better demand Tor
some of the Standard Oils and for some
of the utilities and for the average run
of stocks, but this did not prevent these
two classes closing lower on the day.
Pressure on Motors.
Stocks that gave way the most were
those which had been the objects OF
the most animated speculation last
week. United Corporation at one time
before noon was down over five points
from Saturdays best. General Electric
was off four points, selling around ESQ.
United States Steel made new low
on the movement. Steel has been act
ing disappointingly for a month or SO,
pra ctically since the new stock was OF
fered.
