CURB UNSETTLED,
 DECLINES APPEAR
Bullish Operations Cease When
 Call Money Advances

New York, March o5 Rl-The curb market was generally unsettled today, reflecting widespread ner- vousness over the credit situation. Bullish operations in few issues in the late forenoon were abandoned when call money touched 10 per cent. Still higher rates for bankers acceptances were announced, and the federal reserve board again went into session in Washington.
 Declines appeared throughout the list. but generally the situation was kept we'll in hand. The stocks also traded on the Chicago stock ex- change were steadied by statement from R. Arthur Wood, president of the Chicago institution, that there is nothing critical about the money si:- nation in Chicago, and denying re- ports that a money pool had been formed and further stock listing re- fused.
 Firestone Tire was pushed up 9. and Ford Motor Of Canada s points in forenoon. Aviation Corp. of the Americas moved up points, and Goldman Sachs trading made a mo- derate gain. These gains were not all maintained later however. and the motors developed marked weak ness, Auburn falling 1 and Checker Cab nearly points. Hiram Walker was another weak spot. dropping more than three points.
 The oils were irregular. but fairly well supported. Continental dropped points, but rallied somewhat. In- diana sagged, then turned firm. Humble moved up points, then ran into selling. Mines turned weak, Newmont dropped and Noranda points.

steered 2 course south by west. The cutter approached me about half an hour afterward. this being roughly about 6:3O or $40 .. m. I then learned that this was the cutter Wal colt. He ordered me to hove to-"
 After much megaphoning. the statement said. the Walcott's com mander came on board but Randall refused to submit.
 About 2 D.. m., the Walcott again came up and said with signals flying 'Heave to. or 1 hre.' replied to him by megaphone that had no in- tention of stopping and that he could fire if he wished. He said I will give you quarter of an hour to make up your mind
 We still kept on going and . few moments after the time expired, the Walcott commenced firing. l do not know the number of shots fired. Several shots passed through our sails and rigging, and one shell passed through the nag which was flying from the time the cutter came up at first.
 After firing with his four pound- CT a certain number of shots, he opened fire from his quarter parts with machine gun, or quick firing rifle.
 Bullets Waxcd, He Says
 "I presume these bullets had been waxed as one hit me on the right leg just below the hip and partly paralyzed it. I then noticed that he had some trouble with his four pounder as she missed fire. He then dropped astern.
 We then proceeded on our course with the cutter trailing us until after dark.
 About 7:30 .. m., March P, we saw another cutter approaching from the south-southwest. When the sec ond cutter came up. we recognized her as the Dexter. She. after a con- ference with the Walcott, came up flying the signals 'Heave to. or I'll fire at you I replied by sema- phore and megaphone that did not consider he had any jurisdiction over me or my Ship on the high seas and that he could fire if he wished.
 He then commenced to fire shell after shell. first to my riggin and sails. and then opened fire from the bridge with several quick firing rifles. After about 20 shells had been fired several of which had hit the ship in various places ] sema- phored to him after he called to me and again said: Now will you heaHe to?' But I refused. He then opened fire again both with rifles and guns. cutting by rigging adrift and shell and shell plunged into the ship through our bulwarks, smashing both my bulwarks to pieces and one shell went into the side of the ship.
 He again called to me Will you heavc to?' I replied again in .he negative. He then commenced firing, smashing our forboom, firing after shell came on board smashing our windows and engines and oc- casionally hitting the hull below .he water line. I roughly estimated that about SO or 70 shots struck the vessel.
 "We were all taken on board tfe cutters as we jumped from the ves- sell some of us without any more clothing than shirt and trousers. The cutter treated us well and gave us dry clothing and allowed us to re- main on deck during the day. To my surprise on gong below after supper I was told that I would have to submit to leg irons. We were kept in irons until this morning when we arrived alongside the dock in New Orleans.

ROW OVER SINKING
 OF RUM SCHOONER
(Continued from First Page)

terday officers of the cutters testi- fled to two-day and night chase of the schooner before she was aver- hauled. The I'm Alone would have outdistanced the cutters they said had not the Dexter intercepted her as she outdistanced the Walcott in . tack heading for immune terri torial waters of Mexico.
 When the I'm Alone refused to stop when hailed the Dexter im- mediateiy went into action. A shell tore into the schooner's side and . steady running fire kept up until the I'm Alone nosed deep into the wa ters of the gulf and disappeared. Her crew went over the side as the shell raked ship went down and were picked up by the Dexter and Walcott. Whether the Frenchman drowned or died of heart failure is . question.
 Coast Guard officials declare the sinking of the I'm Alone clears the seas of the most daring and per- sistent rum runner and smuggler plying the coastwise trade.
 British and French consuls have planned to confer upon the facts of the case today. Representatives of the department of justice. coast guard. prohibition and immigration bureaus of the United States have 2 collective inquiry under way.

 He said he was 4s years old born in Trinity, New Foundland. bGt was now a resident Of Nova Scotia. where his wife and two children live. He said he was master mariner and carried a master O. and C. license issued at Cardiff. England.

 Leaving Halifax November 5. 1928, we cleared for St. Pierre in ballast. where we arrived November 1o," he said. ''At St. Pierre we took on cargo of HOO cases of assorted liquors, received from the Great West Wine company. Before clear ing an employe of the wine company gave me one half part of 12 or l5 American one dollar bills.
 Delivery Instructions
 He gave me instructions to take my ship to position 30 miles due south of Trinity shoals light buoy off Louisiana. He gave me instructions to deliver my cargo to the person who presented to me the other half of the first numbered one of my dollar bills"
 He said he delivered the cargo 10 an unknown boat, went to Belize, took a6OO or 37OO cases of liquor and delivered it the same way.
 "On March 20, cleared for Ham, ilton. Bermuda, and came to the agreed position off Trinity shoals with oS00 cases of assorted liquors.

30 STOCKS FALL
 ID LOW RECORDS
Heavy Selling for Both Accounts
 Creates Marked Reaction

New York, March 25 P-Heavy selling for both accounts imparted d decidedly reactionary trend to the price movement in today's stock market Scores of leading indus trials and rails broke through their February lows, the previous resist ance points, and at least 30 dropped into new low ground for the year, a few issues were run up 3 10 g points in early trading, but these gains were practically wiped out. By early afternoon long list of issues were selling to 10 points below last weeks final quotations.
 Call money renewed at 9 per cent but the rate was advanced to 10 when banks called from $15,oo0,0o0 10 s20,000.000 in loans. and was ex pected to go higher in the next few days. Heavy withdrawals of funds from New York have been made by out of-town institutions. particular ly Chicago where individuals and corporations were asked to make available their surplus funds for col luleTdi lOdHS III tlldL Clly.
 With the federal reserve board meeting again in Washington today. Wall street traders continued to show alarm over the credit situation. Unconfirmed reports were in circula- ton around Wall street that bank ing and stock exchange authorities virtually had served notice on pools to suspend operations because of the seriousness of the state of credit.
 Pools Liquidated
 AS result there was heavy li1ui- dation of pool stocks, stimulated by reports that some of the large oper- tors. previously identified with the bull" campaign, either had liquidat- cd their speculative holdings or taken short position in the market.
 Another advance of Is of 1 per cent in bankers acceptances plac- ing them 1-2 of 1 per cent above the prevailing federal reserve redis- count rates. also had a depressing effect on sentiment.
 Selling was particularly urgent in the merchandising and automotive groups. many issues in the former group having sold a 20 to 30 times their earnings, while liquidation in the latter group was inspired by re- ports of unusually large stock of cars in dealers hands.
 Among issues to establish new low prices for the year were Union Pa cific, Rock Island and Reading rail- roads. Sears Roebuck, kresge, Jor- dan, Brockway Motors, Gardner Mo- tors, Coca Cola, Postum, Fisk Rub- Der. International Match preferred, Johns Manville and Anaconda Cop per. (new stock).
