MARINE STATIONS ARE CONSIDERED BY
 UNION 0|L COMPANY

The Union Oil Company plans to materially increase it's scope of activity in Alaska, reports the Juneau Empire following an inter- view with J. E. Boyle, special mar inc agent for the Alaska and Pu- get Sound districts who with the company engineer, c. B. Mallory, recently inspected company hold ings in Southeastern Alaska.
 No definite statement has been made by the officials, but it is generally regarded that new facil- ities for the convenience of the small fishing boats nearer the fishing grounds than the marine stations now located will be estab lished in the near future In the past gasoline and other fuel oils have been purchased from can neries or the fishing boats have made long runs to the towns and thus lose considerable time that is valuable
 A report was published in the Gateway some months ago that the Union Oil Company was con- sidering establishment of a plant here. Nothing authentic has yet been receieved.

sion in Agreement.
BY the Associated Press.


LAMAR, Colo, october 26.-Ralph
Fleagle, elderly bank robber, was con-
demned to death in verdict tonight

First National Bank of Lamar in May,
1928, in connection with which four
men we're killed.

minutes. Fleagle received the verdict
without show of emotion. Judge Hol-
lenbeck gave defense until November
8 to file motion for new trial.
George j. Abshier and Howard L.
Royston, members of the Fleagle gang,
already are under sentence of death as
the result of Fleagle's confession. They
refused, however, to testify against their
former pal.

Kansas. testified that Fleagle had been
promised immunity from the death pen
atty in return for his confession, and
emphatically asserted that if ne had
been district attorney of this district,
he would nave kept MS WORD Win
Fleagle. Smith is interested in the
case because the gang killed two men
in Kansas after the Lamar hold-up.
Would you have made the agreement
in the first placer" asked CRANKY Hill
yer, a special prosecutor.
II certainly would; it was the only
thing to do under the circumstances to
clear up the case" Smith replied.
Jury Given Freedom.
District Judge A. F. Hollenbeck in
structed the jury that the agreement In
no way deprived the jury Of the right
given by statute to impose the death
penalty.
Alfred Todd, defense attorney, said
there was no question as to the guilt OF
the defendant.
THE only point at issue is whether
this jury is going to back up the dis
trict attorney in the light of the agree
ment he made with this defendant
that he would not hang in return fol
his confession"

BY the Associated Press
NEW YORK, October 26.--Wall Street
YEARLY struggled back to normal today,
ending the most trying week that 1t
has experienced since the dark days OF
1907 Trading on the New YORK StocN
Exchange moderated to customary pro-
portions. and while prices were incilneo
10 sag as accounts were lightened ana
readjusted, most leading STOCKS helo
steady.
Eoilow-eyed commission house clerks
struggled to clear away the debris LETT
by the weeks wild panic OF selling, ana
MANY were instructed to return to thelr
desks on Sunday, as the Stock EXCHANGE
committee on arrangements instructed
members to open their off1ces between
10 am. and pm. tomorrow TO com
plete unfinished details OF the weeks
terrific activity. Many clerks nave
worked long into the night all this
week.
Early Gains Are Reduced.
The market opened today with fair
accumulation of buying orders which
sent many prices up 81 to 81, but a
steady stream of selling soon appeared
and reduced most of the early gains. A
few shares dropped IS to $13 below
Yesterday final levels. but prices gen.
erally moved in narrow ranges. Inc
DAVIS selling was attributed to liquida-
ton of stock bought for support pur-
poses during the decline, and to the
final throwing overheard Of shares by
MANY holders who have held on through
the decline, but lost their appetite for
the stock market. Commission houses
reported that weakened marginal &C
counts generally had been disposed OF,
and that distress selling was In negh-
gible volume.
Total sales for the two-hour Satur-
day session were 2,0S7,66 shares and
the ticker was able to keep fairly well
abreast of the trading, closing but SO
minutes after transactions ended. Total
sales on the New York Stock Exchange
for the week exceeded 100000, OF
which amount more than one-third was
accounted for by Thursdays wild
session.
Loss Estimate Impossible.
Brokers, surveying the havoc, said
that it would be futile to endeavor to
estimate the weeks losses. Big and 1T
tie traders alike have suffered Sc
yerely, and price levels were generally
reduced to the levels of early June,
wiping out the enormous paper prorts
of the Summer bull movement. The
utility shares, which had risen with
startling rapidity many reaching Levels
at which they were selling from 80 to

declined the most precipitantly.
