SEPTEMBER DECLINE
IN STOCKS IS LARGE
Practically All Groups on Board
Are Hit by Heavy
Selling.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, October For the
first time since the bull market In
stocks begain in 1924 the month OF
September shows heavy shrinkage IN
listed values. This has been suftcient
to wipe out much of the appreciation
that had taken place In August.
The latter month held the record
for the amount Of gain in market worth
that had been realized and which was
due mainly to the sensational advance
occurring In August In the public
utilities, rails, oils, steels, chemicals.
copperS, Is well % in the shares OF
chain stores, and of mail order and
food products concerns.
A survey of the stock market today
compared with that Ut the end OF last
month indicates the radical change IN
speculative temper that has developed
in a comparatively short time. Prac-
tically all Of the leading groups show
substantial declines. One estimate for
August gave the increase in the value
of 24O stocks listed on the New York
Stock Exchange as approximately So
SOC, GOO, OOO The estimate OF the New
York Stock Exchange itself was even
higher, amounting to nearly $1,000, OOO;-
900. About Is per cent OF all OF TINS
appreciation was In the public utilities.
due to the advance in August IN the
telephone stocks and in Consolidated
Gas, American Telephone, however, has
held its market extremely well during
September and with other upblic utili-
ties comparatively strong in relation to
the general list the shrinkage in this
group should not be heavy. There are,
In fact, several issues that have made
new high records since the end Of last
month and have been able to maintain
a considerable part of their gain.
The oils also have acted well. While
they are much below the high prices
of the month the depreciation in them
as q body of stocks has not been i'm
portant. The same is true OF the chem
ical group, in which high records have
been established, although these were
on stocks of small volume, which make
little impression on the total value.
The heaviest declines Of September
are those In the rails, motors, iron and
steel and copper shares. At the end
Of August the rails had completed one
of the most satisfactory upward move
mentS in the past two years under the
influence of concentrated demand from
! investment trusts, which created a
broad public following. September
however, has seen q complete reversal
In the attitude Of Wall Street toward
carrier stocks in spite of good earnings
and one dividend increase. Leading
issues are OF from to 80 points from
the month. Iron and steel stocks, under
influence Of heavy liquidation In United
States Steel, are also down substantial
ly. A movement In copper and othe-

Ing Of bills.
The investment trust, that type Of
corporate organization which the
United States has borrowed" from
Europe recently, although it had been
well known there for many years, has
gained such q tremendous growth In
this country during 1929 and has played
such a leading role in the stock and
bond markets that 1t has drawn the
attention of Congress. Senator Couzens
of Michigan, chairman OF the Senate
interstate commerce committee, has
especially studied the investment trust
situation and now is proposing that
Congress determine whether the Federal
Government has the power or should
possess power to regulate their opera
tons. President Hoover Is understood
to oppose Federal regulation. leaving 1t
to the States.
The rapid expansion of the invest
ment trust undoubtedly has been an
important factor in the past Summers
high activity on the bond and stock
markets. Statistics which have been
compiled show that these investment
trusts have practically doubled the cap
italization during the first eight months
of this year over their capitalization at
the beginning of 1929. At the outset OF
the year their capital was estimated at
approximately $l.584,000, 900 and dur
ing the first eight months OF the year
81 Soc, 000, 900 at least has been added to
their capital.

Will the next crop OF motion pc

1.-The voice with the smile wins"
It's quite possible according to
recent indications and developments
in HOLLYWOOD. where the silent
drama has suddenly taken voice
and the movies have become talk
les over night.
The voice that sounds good over
the telephone or the radio is also
the one that sounds good in the
talkieS. The reproducing apparatus
of the three inventors have much
in common.
One large company has already
gone to the SwitchboardS to find
girls with pleasant screen voices
and where the girls photographed
as well as they talked. they have
won good jobs in the new kind OF

Radio announcerS have attracted
attention for the same reason.

Pool Has
Patronage
Broad Ripple Is Packed
by Those Wanting
to Swim.

TINE big swimming pool at Broad
Il Ripple park worked overtime
this week. the hot weather of the
last few days causing thousands Of
swimmers to seek its cooling waters.
Many of the gentler sex came to the
pool dressed in the latest cut and
color of beach costumes over their
more practical swimming toys, all OF
which gave color to the scene such
as is seldom seen away from the
ocean resorts.
From observance it would seem
there are no novices among the
crowds of swimmers. all Of which
gave much relief to the corps of in
structors provided by the park man
agement.
Indications now are that with no
immediate relief from the hot spell
in sight the big cement basin will be
filled to capacity tomorrow.
Family and organization picnics
are taking advantage OF the big
picnic grove which is part of the
park. The grove is one of very few
of any extent left in the state and
the park management has provided
every convenience for the benefit OF
picnickers. Naturally one would
think the grove would be used only
by citizens Of Indianapolis. but every
weekend there are to be found
parties from all parts of the state
within a radius of seventy-f1ye miles,
With seasonable weather all the
attractions at the park are caring

fair to being the largest so far this
