CURB SHARES FIRM
IN ACTIVE MARKET
Oil, Utilities and Investment
Trust Issues Are Trad
ing Favorites.

Special Dispatch to The star.
NEW YORK, September 16-Petro..
leum, utility and investment trust
Shares stood out in the Cub trading to-
day. Although Standard Oil of New
Jersey subsidiaries attracted attention
in the oil list, the miscellaneous oils and
pipe line companies recorded the widest
fluctuations.
Natural gas stocks again were favored
In the utility division, where pressure on
some of the Morgan shares gave power
and light issues in particular ana the
whole utility list an appearance OF
irregularity.
Investment Trusts.
Investment trusts were active, but
price trends were mixed. Some OF the
outstanding shares, such as Reliance
MANAGEMENT, suffered because OF switch
ing operations. The National Investors
group likewise moved at an uneven gait.
National Investors, which frequently

on one occasion gained only traction.
Industrials were in fair demand, with
buying rather evenly distributed over
wide number Of stocks. Some OF the
higher priced specialties such as Deere
advanced. Radio stocks were reaction
ary. Powdrell Alexander reached new
went higher.
Over In the mines division Newmont
brought out brisker bids, but the rest OF
the list remained virtually unchanged.
Ford Motors Limited led the motors.
while Fokker assumed leadership OF
aviation issues.
United Gas, which is negotiating for
a number of companies in the South
west. and in the midcontinent field, was
Arkansas
ural Gas and Memphis were reactionary
after higher openings.
Prospects of an investigation into
the entire power situation In New YORK
state caused selling of some Of the
Morgan utility securities. This selling
converged around Commonwealth d
Southern, Niagara Hudson Power and
Niagara Share Corporation. A few
large blocks Of these stocks appeared
on the tape at lower prices.
Humble Oil and International Petro-
leum were among the leaders in the
advance of Standard Oil o. New Jersey
subsidiaries MisSouri-Kansas Pipe Line
furnished the most interesting move
in the pipe line group. 1t recently Cls-
covered oil in the new Kentucky f1eld.
Frequently it has been mentioned IN
merger tales, but the company has
never confirmed or denied any OF these
efforts.
Other Advances.
Ground Gripper Shoe, which was
pushed to a new high recently follow
ing an extra dividend declaration and
of acquisition of another company,
gained after an early decline. Com
mercial Investment Trust new was
taken at advancing quotations.
Declaration Of an initial dividend on
Godchaux Sugar preferred brought
common, which, a result, bettered
earlier prices. Blaw Knox opened
higher following the offering OF rights,
but later encountered profit taking.

22.year-old Charlotte Soeffing,
Rapid City girl, who recently was

fact that the path to further
glory lies ahead of her.
Only four and a half months in
America and unable to speak a

BAY ADVOCATED
.FOR SING SING
!. PRISONERS
fs-NA NH.H III

n ROCHESTER,, Nov. s.-Paid
prison employment was recon-
Eaended as one of the solutions
tor the constantly growing crime
problem by DR.. Amos Osborne
squire, chief physician Of Sing
Sing prison. In a recent address
before the Rochester Association
Of Credit Men. ,~
In New York State, DR.. Squire
pointed out, discharged criminals
are given $40 and an ordinary
suit Of clothes. That amount, he
said, lasts only a short time, and
unless he Is given employment or.
other aid within a few days the
former convict is once again
thrown on society, his lack of
livelihood and money an incentive
to resort again to criminal pur-
suits.
..SAs an example of the benefits
Of giving convicts regular employ
fneH1t. at regular wages. the
speaker pointed to the results
obtained at Jackson prison, M1chl:
gan, where inmates are paid from
soc to 81 a day for various xmas
Of, labor, with the result that
after their wages are PAID Cne
profits from the products turned
but pay all the expenses OF the
institution. Best Of all, he SAID
the prisoners are kept physically
and mentally active and when re.
Ieased have substantial sum OF
money on which to start tneIr
lives anew.
Praises Probation
The probation system is one OF
the most successful means OF com
batting criminal tendencies, ana
ia Sing Sing 95 per cent OF Ine
youths placed on probation aIGei
offenses have made good' salo OE'
Deportation Of alien criminals
siid a square deal for prisoners
after they are discharged WerS
also suggested by him as anIlt
dotes to crime. ,-,
Although he expressed MIN
self as favoring the Baumes law
in general, DR.. Squire said he was
oni5osed to the provision making
it. mandatory for judges to inn
nose life Imprisonment on fourth
offenders, in that it allows the
iudges no discretion to suit the
penalty to the crime, and otten
.. man is committed to spend the
rest of his life in prison Tor 6
minor offense.
Too Many Laws, He Says
Too many laws, and especially
too many foolish laws. are re-
sponsible for many of the viola
tions, in his opinion, because
absurd statutes breed d1srespect
for. law. If the legislators would
take q rather extended vacation,
It might be a good thing for the
country, he limited.
Tn referring to the recent out
break at Canon City Penitentlary,
Colorado, and those at Auburn
and Dannemora. DR.. Squire main
tanned that prisons should not be
built in cities, but should be
located as far away from towns
as possible on extensive farms,
or in the hills. Prisons, he said,
are the curse Of cities, which are
branded as prison towns, and be
sides. are subject to the depreda-
tioas of conviets in the event OF
riots.
iObjections to capital punish
n1ent were voiced by the speaker,
who declared that quick, certain
punishment in the form of prison
terms with compulsory labor, is
far more effective, The profcs-
sional criminals, which make UP
90 per cent of the prison popula-
tions, are not, because of some
psychopatfic quirk, daunted by
the fear Of the electric chair or
the hangman's moose.

Kings of Sport and Money Rally to Defend
america s Cup against Challenge of Sir
Thomas Upton and Shamrock 4 in Races
to be Staged Next September:

be upward of 100000. After the yachts Side
of the ways they must be taken out to sea
for trials as to speed and handling.
The rules limit the men on board In the
challenge races to 81. In ordinary racing the
crew would consist of about 18 men. but for
Americas Cup races they will probably carry
IS paid hands and three or four amateurs and
executives.
Suitable crews are difficult to obtain, for the
craft of saiIormen is disappearing with the in
crease of powerboatS. YachtSmen despair OF
finding skilled Americans, so descendants OF
the vikings of Scandinavia, who still know
how to handle sail, win, in all probability, be
recruited for the races.
The cup has been in America since 1851,
when an American schooner yacht showed its
heels to 10 other boats circling around the
Isle Of Wight.
Since then there have been IS attempts to
retrieve the trophy. The first took place in
1870, when the challenger Cambria raced the
whole feet of the New York Yacht Club and
came in tenth.
On Sir Thomas Lipton's first attempt, In
1899, the Shamrock I was beaten by the Co
lumbia in three straight races. In 1901 the
Shamrock II was sent against the Columbia.
Two years later Liptons Shamrock III was de-
feated by the Reliance.
Sir Thomas pendered on the subject OF con-
tnuing the battle and as the result Of his de-
alterations the Shamrock " started for Amer
lea In 1914, just as the war got under way.
She went into dry dock until 1920, when the
. ReSolute came out to meet her.

kings-monarchs of money as well

When the New York Yacht Club
- accepted the challenge from the
Ulster Yacht Club sent on behalf of Sir
Thomas Upton, millions began to be mobilized
for the race for Americas Cup, which will be
sailed of Newport, r. l., next September.
Sir Thomas has spent a handful of millions
himself in his four unsuccessful attempts to
take the "old mug" back to its former home.
When he started to build the Shamrock the
members of the New York Yacht Club also be-
gan similar activity.
Sir Thomas plays a lone hand but on the
American side of the water syndicateS are be-
ing formed to build boats, the best of which,
as decided by elimination races, viii defend
the cup.
Harold S. Vanderbilt and Vice Commodore
Winthrop W. Aldrich have organized a syndi-
cate and ordered boat to be designed by w.
Starting Burgess. George Nichols and Junils
s. Morgan, jr., head another group, whose boat
will be designed by Clinton H. Crane. Another
syndicate, headed by John S. Lawrence and
Frank c. Paine of Boston, is arranging to build

Sir Thomas thought he had his hands On

'I have looked forward to this moment for

when the Resolute walked OF with the last

The grand jury that yesterday re-
turned an indictment for murder in
the Mcpherson case at the same time
inferentially, though not directly, in
dicted the coroner's jury system. In
its special report, apart from the formal
indictment, the grand jury stated SIM
ply that "the coroner's investigation
into the death was held merely as a
matter of form and important witnesses
who were summoned to said inquest
were not given an opportunity to pre-
sent their testimony" The circum-
stances of this particular inquest, how
ever, were not notably different from
those attending this same procedure
in other cases. In a majority of in
stances the inquest is largely "a matter
Of FORM"
The coroner's inquest is an ancient
institution. The Office of coroner dates
back in English history for thousand
years. The functionary was originally,
and for centuries continued to be, the
representative Of the crown-hence the
old name "crowner"-in respect to pleas
in which the crown was concerned. At
first he had to do chiefly with fires
and cases of wreckage and sudden
death. He was charged with the duty
of ascertaining the facts Immediately
after the happening. Eventually he
was given the aid of jury. impaneled
from the immediate neighbors and
asked to render a verdict or fact-finding
Judgment. In the course Of time the
coroner's jury became an advisory body
to the grand jury.
The original need Of coroner, or
crowner, has practically ceased. The
facilities of research and immediate
study of any possible crime are ample.
Police organization has been effected
so that the gathering of material EVIL
denee can be accomplished By direct
