 Half-savage Fijians who inhabit the isle of Benga, once a year worship their maker and test their faith by actually walking through a roaring fire across bed of red- hot stones!
 An exact reproduction of these frenzied religious scenes provides the motivating highlight of Radio Pictures dramatic romance, Girl of the Port" which will open to- night at the Palace Theatre.
 There will come to the ear the monotonous pulse-beat of tom- toms, the plaintive notes of bam- boo flute; signing of wind in tall palmettos; and weird fanatical chant.

CAPT. IRVING IS
 JUNEAU VISITOR, GOES T0vALDEz
Famous Navigator Spends Two Days in Juneau
 First for Many Years

Capt. John Irving, pioneer Vest ern steamship owner and navigator, was a passenger to Valdez on the steamer Aleutian. He came to Ju- neau on the Princess Charlotte, ar irving here Saturday night He will be in the Valdez district for about two weeks, spending the time investigating a mining property in which he is interested.
 Capt. Irving was the founder and for many years principal owner, President and Manager of the old Canadian Pacific Navigation com pany, operating steamships to Alas ka and in. British Columbia waters. He was master of the flagship of his fleet, the Islander, which was built on plans prepared by him for the coast trade. Tn addition to his steamship business, in which a score of ships, large and small, were used. he owned and operated wharves in various British Colum- bia ports, and owned mines and other properties. He sold the Ca- madam Pacific Navigation Com pany to the Canadian Pacific Rail- way company a score of year or more ago.
 For many years Captain John, D as he was affectionately called by thousands of friends, never per- mitted lack of money for his fare, to deprive a man of travelling up or down the coast when it was ne- cessary for him to make a trip. It has been said that on many trips there were more passengers hold ing trip passes he had issued than there were with tickets purchased at his offices.
 Capt. Irving represented the At lin District in the British Columbia Legislature, for many years. Capt. Irvings home at the pres ent time is in Victoria, and he spends most of his time there and Vancouver, and in American cities of the Northwest. This was his first visit to Juneau in several years, and he noted vast improve ment in the appearance of the City.

RAILROAD STOCKS
IN BETTER DEMAND
Carriers Show Gradual Gain
In Earnings After Poor
First Quarter.
BY CHARLES F. sPEARE.
Dispatch TO The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star,
NEW YORK, May S.--That phase Of
the stock market liquidation which has
been represented in the persistent de-
cline in railroad shares of all degrees
of value and which brought this group
on Monday TO an average about 10
points below the high Of the year and
close to the low of 1929, has been fol-
lowed by recovery OF about 20 per
cent from the total loss.
Some of the high dividend paying
rails and the lower grades of carrier
stocks, which may be affected by mer-
gers sooner or later, made additional
advances during yesterdays session.
There has been what Wall Street calls
good buying" Of them by bargain
hunters and by investment trusts in the
last few days on the theory that they
had discounted considerable portion
Of the effect Of current poor earnings
and we're selling on a yield basis that
warranted their purchase regardless of
the immediate market trend in them.
Gross Earnings Improve.
preliminary figures of railroad gross
earnings for April do not show up well,
compared with year ago. but they are
relatively better in some sections of the
country than those for March or Feb
ruary. So far as railroad managers can
estimate from present traffic tendencies
there will be no material gains this
month or in June. when gross earnings
are again expected to make an unfavor-
able exhibit with those of last year.
Considerable attention was given To-
day to the analysis of the first quarter
results made public by the bureau of
railroad economics. This covers gross
operating revenues, net railway income,
operating expenses, taxes and most I'M
portant of all. the percentage of earn
ings on property investment in the eight
regions into which the. railroads of the
country are divided.
Operating revenues in the quarter de-
creased approximately $3.50, 200, 900 or 10
per cent. This not only reflected the
falling off In revenue from freight. but
continuation of the long downward
trend in passenger traffic. AS an offset
to the loss in gross earnings, the rail-
roads were able to reduce their operat-
ing expenses by about S60,000,000, or
5.4 per cent, and in the three months
they paid in taxes S7.2o0,000 less than
in the first three months of 1929. It
is extremely difficult for a carrier to re-
adjust its expenses in a short time to
10 per cent reduction in gross earnings
especially when, as in the present Sit
uation. it feels responsibility for con-
tinuing employment in order to assist
the Government program for sustain
ing business.

GROWTH OF STOCK
MARKET IS NOTED
Retiring President of Ex-
change Comments on Sc
Curities Investment.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

special DlSpatCn TO Inc GIaE.
NEW YORK, May 8.-The unex-
ampled growth of the securities market
during the past year and fundamental
factors in the business and financial
situation were the salient features OF
the sixth annual report of E. H. H.
Simmons, president of the New York
Stock Exchange, presented to members
yesterday upon the eve of his retire.
ment as executive head of the exchange.
Statements made by him in speech in
Philadelphia in January as to the prin-
cipal reasons for the unprecedented de-
cline of security prices in october and
November were reiterated and empha-
sized, particularly the assertion that one
of the outstanding causes was the enor-
nous volume of new securities sold dur
ing the last months of the rising market.
Regarding business conditions gener-
ally, Mr.. Simmons declared that 1.-The
year 1929 will undoubtedly go down in
American history as particularly sig
nificant because of the extremes in busi-
ness which it witnessed" During the
first six months, he said, average pro-
duction and consumption OF goods far
exceeded previous records. In the third
quarter, however "a period OF hesitation
and change of trend set in, whose sig
nificance was not at first clearly appa-
rent. In the fourth quarter this change
of trend developed into precipitous
decline unexceeded in severity since
1924"
Mr. Simmons pointed out the ex-
tremely high rates of production in
basic industries which were reached by
early Summer and the proportionately
sharp decline during the Fall and Win
ter. This marked acceleration and sub
sequent decline, he said, had direct
effect on all business conditions, in
Guiding securities values.

LARGE UTILITIES BROKE
OUTPUT RECORD IN 1929

Public utility systems of the United
States having an annual output each
of 100000,000 kilowatt hours or more
produced s1,561 ,345,767 kilowatt hours
in 1929. Electrical World reports in
summarizing survey of electric power
production in North America. The out
put is the largest in the history of the
companies accounted for and compares
with total of 72,826,693,215 kilowatt
hours produced in 1928.
In all, 1877 light and power systems
in the United States account for 88
per cent of the energy generated in all
public utility plants for light and pow
err throughout the country and served
18,538,001 customers, both residential
and commercial, in 1929. There are
26 systems, the survey shows, producing
a billion kilowatt hours or more each.
The total output of these systems last
year was 57191, 852, 664 kilowatt hours.
