NEW YORK. March IS U.N.S).-
Industrial stocks made a brave ef-
fort at the beginning OF trading to-
day to regain a part of the ground
lost yesterday but the fierce cur
rent of speculative selling which
surged into the market from all
quarters blocked the progress Of
the feeble rally which developed
shortly after the opening. A few
Of the favorites were strong enough
to stem the die, but their recoveries
were insignificant and mostly frac-
tional.
Though the money rate re.
newal was posted at IL per cent,
Wall Street felt a little more en-.
cOuraged over the money situation.
The reserve board has said moth.
ing about higher rediscount rates

may be done along this line If
other methods of curbing specu.
lative borrowing bring about the
desired results. A huge fund will

cumulation of the latter being the

The shorts were in no great

their favorite stocks With money
being drained out of the Nall Loan
Market by the New York, Chicago

in the financial district that any
thing might happen" in a market
ruled by the over.wrOught nerves
of the professionals in Wall Street

the first half hour was 7O5, 900

market about 10 minutes.
Radio continues to shine in the
early trading and ran its recovery

The general level of industrial
stock prices al the end Of the first

.H|BBS RESIGNS
AS MEMBER
OF BOARD
BY HARRY GUSACK
Financial Editor

William B. IIibbs, prominent
Washington stock broker and head
Of the firm Of w. B. Hibbs and
Company, has resigned as a mem.
ber Of the board of governors of
the Washington Stock Exchange.
However, he will continue to hold
his seat as, a member of the ex.
change.
Following Mr.. Hibb's resignation
yesterday, the board elected John
Poole, president of the Federal
American National Bank to fill his
place.
Mr.. Hibbs' resignation is due, it
is understood, to a controversy that
has come up recently in the board
Involving the election of a new
member to a seat on the local ex.
change.
The candidate applying for mem.
bership is Myles II. Quail, prominent
young investment banker and con"
nected with the firm of Y. L.
Booker and Company. Mr.. Quail, a
member of the District Bar, and
the Bond Club, is known as a
specialist on local utility stocks
and bonds. He was formerly con-
nected with Crane, Paris and Com
pany, but upon the establishment
of Y. E. Booker and Company in
1925 he Joined that firm.
At a recent meeting of the board
voting on Mr.. Quairs admission, a
tie vote resulted due to the fact
that one of the members of the
board and a former president of
the exchange declared that Mr..
Quail could not be admitted in view
of the. fact that he was employed
by X E. Booker and Company, ami
that Mr.. Booker already held seat
on the exchange, A controversy
then arose as to the. Interpretation
of the bylaws of the exchange
governing the admittance of en-
ployes of members already holding
seats on the exchange.
Following the tie vote, it was
decided yesterday that two, mem
bers from the floor viii be chosen
Manday5 to. take the place of the
two members of the board of
governors personally interested in
the: vote on Mr.. Quairs admission.
Indications are that Mr.. Quail will
be elected to the exchange. 1t is
understood that the tie vote was
due largely to the fact that E. l..
Hillyer, vice president of the Union
Trust Company and a. member of
the board, was unable to vote on
account of being confined to his bed
with illness, otherwise Mr., Quail
would have been elected to mem.
beEShip.

 The exodus of the convicts was followed by the receipt of news that the ringleaders rebellion, which took the lives of IS and serious wounding of five, had shot themselves early in the morning without opposition
 Guards Swarmed into the en- closure, and surrounded the con- victS
 One guard, who had been held prisoner, said Danny Daniels, Major Davis and Red" Riley, the three known instigators of the plot. committed suicide The end came after a day and night of furious fighting during which guards were held hostage by the prisoners and were then mur- dered when the demands to War den Crawford for safe conduct from the prison was refused.
 FEATURES MUTILATED
 During the riot, dynamite, bar rages of machine gun and rifle bullets and tear gas bombs, fail- to vanquish the entrenched pris- oners.
 Guards entering the prison, found the bodies of the ringlead- CTS who had been dead for about two hours; it had previously been noted that the rebellion had died down about two hours be- fore the prisoners marched from their stronghold
 Fifteen feet inside the prison lay the body of a dead guard murdered by Daniels and nearby lay Daniels, known as the exc cutioner of three defenseless guards. It was evident that the other ringleaders had killed them selves; their features were muti- lated.

PSYCHIC ADVENTURES OF
GREAT MEN AND WOMEN
Hudson Maxms Spiritualc Mother and the Strange Bond
Between Her and His Brother Lcander.
BY J. r. GLASS.

It was an unusual childhood that
Hudson Maxim had. When he was just
little fellow on the Maine Coast, lit
tie dreaming he would become a great
inventor, he lived in the midst Of an at
mosphere which would turn the average,
boy, unaccustomed to 1t, cold with ter
ror.
His parents were Spiritualists and
terms like frances influences" and
communication with the dead" were
common in their household. Spiritual
ism was, in fact, popular in Maine at
that time and little Hudson Maxim was
SO cognizant of its practices that he
thought little Of it, He didn't really UNI
derstand what 1t was all about and IN
later wears. when he recounted some OF
the happenings of his youth, he was
glad to seek the confederation OF adults
who had known OF them.
Special psychic powers We're attrib-
uted to his mother. One of the tests
to which she was often subjected was
to blindfold her while flvc-dollar gold
piece was burier or hidden under
stone in a 10-acre lot. The blindfold
then was removed and she would set
out in search of the coin. guided by
what shec allied her influence"
'She used to find the gold piece, all
right" reports Mr. Maxim.
A neighbor a blacksmith, made a
large knife and, hiding 1t in the woods,
told her if she could find 1t she could
have it. She made several attempts.
but was always blocked by d big tree to
which her Influence" led her. After
going back several times to make
fresh start and always coming up
against the tree she went around 1t.
Sticking in its bark she found the knife.
An experiment which would have
given little Hudson the biggest thrill OF
all fell through. One day his parents.
with spiritualistic neighbor and me-
dunn who was living at the Maxim
home. proceeded to the seashore to
bring back treasure of Capt. Kidd,
which the medium claimed she could
find. Hudson and the other children
were left at home to spin fancies OF
how they would spend the money when
it was brought back. But when the
party returned at nightfall it was emp
ty-handed. Had the medium failed? Or
was it that Capt Kidd had left no
| treasure? Who shall say. The irdu-
bitable fact is that the children were
tragically disappointed.

ences vastly more mysterious. There
was, for instance, that night when his
older brother, Leander, went down to
| the fiume to spear suckers.
The rest of the family had gone to
bed and to sleep. Suddenly Mrs. Maxim
started up, awakening her husband.
Isaac! Isaac!" she exclaimed, lie
ander has fallen into the funnel"
Now if this had happened, 1t was,

sured his wife, telling her she had only
had a bad dream.
He was wrong. In little bit Lean

had indeed t,lmbled into the f1ume.
However, as he was swept down by the
current, he fortunately caught hold OF
one of the big wooden pegs in the side
