STOCKS IRREGULAR
AFTER EARLY GAIN
Market Sells Off Sharply
Toward Close, Due to
Profit Taking.
BY the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, January 5.-The stock
market displayed a complete reversal OF
form today, selling off sharply after a
spirited opening rally. There was moth
ing In the days news to explain the
selling movement, which was generally
described as a natural correction of a
topheayy speculative position. Early
gains Of to Is points were cut down,
or wiped out, and a. number OF issues
sank / to points below yesterday S
Anal quotations.
Preliminary estimates OF the United
States Steel monthly tonnage statement
to be issued next Thursday indicate a
gain of between $4,000 and 100000 tons
In December. Announcement of I'VE
for one stock split by A. g. Spalding 81
Brothers was the only important busi-
ness development of the morning.
After an opening bulge in each stock,
Radio and Victor Talking Machine broke
sharply on the traditional selling on
the good news" following the announce
nent of merger terms. Radio opened Is
points higher at 4i0 and then slumped
to 3s4. Victor Talking Machine con-
verted an early gain Of az points into q
loss of Az. Wright Aeronautical dropped
from 273 to 265 and Curtlss from l53
to 149.
Fears Of an early increase In Federal
Reserve rates were stressed In several
of the week end market letters. Con-
srvative bankers were of the opinion
that higher rate would be necessary
unless there was marked reduction In
speculative activity In the securities
market, and 1T was thought in some
quarters that a rise in the Bank of
England rate would precede any change
here.
Motor stocks were under pressure on
the theory that recent price-cutting
foreshadowed keener competition among
the leading manufacturers this year and
reduction in unit profit. Coppers also
fell back sharply on liquidation by pools
which had marked up several of these
issues to new high records on the
strength of the recent advances in the
price of the red metal.
The closing was irregular.

INMATES PROTEST
 WARDEN'S REMOVAL
Atlanta Prisoners Whistle and
 Howl As Shook Leaves

Atlanta. April 1.-P-In the midst of protest by prisoners who beat upon their cell doors, whistled and shouted, John W. shook late last night left his post as warden of the Atlanta federal penitentary. carrying a receipt in full' for all inmates. records, and government property at the institution.
 Shook had been popular with the prisoners and as the time Of his re- tIrcment arrived under the terms Of his resignation. effective at midnight last night, the inmates set up noisy protest. Jailers threatened force be- fore the men were quleted.
 On his last day in office the war Gen made public q letter he had written Attorney General Mitchell, in which he defended his admins tratIon and expressed the hope that the practice Of planting" depart ment Of justice agents in the prison be abolished.
 He said the letter was in reply to a telegram from the attorney gen eral in which the warden was repri- manded for permitting newspaper men 10 inspect tho prison and re- porting the conditions they found. In the letter, Shook said he had read the article referred to, and the facts contained therein were se- cured from the annual report of all federal institutions published by the department ol justice,'
 The warden reported to the de partment of justice chief that his 'only criticism or the Atlanta peni- tentiary IS the oyer- crowded condi- ton. for which the warden is not responsible. The morale. health sanitation and physical condition Of the plant cannot be eXcelled by any other insutution of it's kind in the world"
 The attorney generals telegram, Shook said, demanded that the warden carry away TO copies Of data or records. This. the warden said, T consider further insult to the many have already endured al the hands of those vested with tempo rary power who hapen to be in charge Of the great federal penal system in the United States"
 The resignation of the warden was given several weeks ago at the re- quest of the attorney general, fol- lowing the placing of two justice agents in the penitentiary as con- Nlcts.
 For the present the warden said, he would live in retirement in At lanta.

FOUR MENTIONED
 FOR PARIS POST

prominently mentioned for the high
 ly prized London post, now may be
 asked to go 10 Paris instead. His
 war and postwar activities in the
 field of international economic af-
 fairs. it is recalled, have been more
 definitely identified with Paris than
 with London. Former Secretary
 Frank B. Kellogg also is thought of inconnection with the Paris assign
 ment.
 He is now en route 10 the French
 capital on vacation he began with Mrs. Kellogg after his release from the state department last week by Secretary Stimsoh. Another possi- billtv is that this g year old veteran now might be offered the London post, which he held when appointed secretary of state, and Dawes sent to Paris.
 Gibson and Fletcher Eligible Two other names on the diplo- matic list are almost certain 10 be considered before Mr. Her rick's successor finally is selected One is Am ssador Hugh Gibson at
 Brussels, Belgium, and the other is
 Ambassador Henry P. Fletcher at
 Rome. The former is personal friend Of President Hoover, and is
 regarded as eminently qualified for the Paris assignment. The expense Of
 serving there. far in excess of salary
 and allowances, might cause him to decline such an appointment, how
 ever. since he is not possessed Of
 large private fortune.
 Ambassador Fletcher is known 10 have desired a transfer to Paris or London, at one time. and to have
