.UPTURN IN STOCKS
IS LAID TO SHORTS
Market Hardens After Over
night Selling Orders Are
Executed.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, December 30.-Contrary
to predictions which had emphasized
the probability of heavy tax selling on
this, the last day of the year on which
such transactions could be recorded in
the regular way, and the inference that
the market would be weak, prices today
staged vigorous and sustained rally.
The opening had been irregular and
uncertain, with about as many declines
as advances, but after the overnight
orders had been executed the list hard
ened and before neon was headed
upward. The turnabout was I'M
douhtedly due in part, at least, to short
covering.
Leaders in Demand.
No one knows exactly how much Of
factor tax selling has been in the past
week or two when the market made its
extreme low, and no one will know until
the period when these sales can be
made has passed. But there was evil
IDENTIFY suspicion on the part of the
bear faction that there were chances
for a material advance in the new year
and that it might be a good time to
take in short contracts today and let
the market prove itself.
1t was the more important stocks
that benefited from this changed at
titude on the part of professional spec
ulators for the decline. United States
Steel American Can, Westinghouse
Electric, American Telephone & Tele-
graph and Standard Oil of New Jersey
were all in demand, and all of them
scored gains of greater or less extent.
American Can had been heavily sold
and harbored large short interest, and
consequently moved up easily when the
buying gained Roadway yesterday.
The strength in these leaders stimu-
lated stocks of lesser rank, although in
this grade there was still belated SELL
ing on tax account. Copper shares were
strong, notably Anaconda, up over a
years low. Specialties, such as Air
Reduction, Allied Chemical Columbian
Carbon and Union Carbide were all
actively bought at rising prices.
Advances in the rails might have been
ascribed to reports of progress in the
Eastern consolidation scheme, but the
chances are that their gains were SYM
pathetic with those in the rest of the
list. At any rate New York Central,
Baltimore 81 Ohio, Chesapeake & Ohio
and Pennsylvania were all up, with the
larger advances in the two first named.
Illinois Central responded to the bet
ter showing in nett income revealed in
its November earnings statement. New
Haven rallied and st. LouiS-San Fran
cisco moved erratically, but for the most
part higher on the day
There is a short interest in the rail-
road stocks as well as the industrials,
a fact demonstrated by the demand for
the carrier issues in the loan market.

the highest since May 6, but every one
acknowledges that the hardening in
money is temporary and of no signifi-
canoe. The chief occasion for anxiety
lies m another field, namely that of
commodity prices. 1t will be hard to
establish confidence in stocks while
the grain markets are so severely de-
pressed

Early Market Higher.

Following an irregular and uncertain
opening the market established an up
ward trend in early dealings. Gains in
the pivotal stocks ran to a point or so,
the chief influence seeming to be short
covering. There was still some tax sell
ing, but it was not on so large scale
as on Monday.
Reflection of reports of progress in
the railroad executives conference on
the Eastern consolidation situation came
in higher prices for railroad stocks. New
York Central and Baltimore & Ohio
were the leaders, being up points. New
Haven was another strong carrier issue
Among the industrials, U. S. Steel
started in fractionally lower, but soon
made up the loss, and before the first
hour was over was selling higher on the
tape. American Can, Westinghouse
Electric, Union Carbide g. Carbon, AL
lied Chemical and Air Reduction all
made gains of greater or lesser extent.
The shorts in j. I. Case and in Auburn
Auto covered at higher prices.

, CHICAGO, Nov. Z d.N.so-
A lad named Terry Druggan,
well known to the police for his
beer.peddling proclivities, today
stepped into the limelight as a
challenger for Scarface AL Ca
pone's title the nations greatest
gangster.
Following the discovery and
examination OF Druggan's cor.
respondence files, authorities an.
I1ounced that hoodlums in all
parts of the country evidently
were willing to help him push
Capone off the throne.
"SpOt' Plot Barred
The letters indicated Druggan
was brewing vast plot to as
SaSsinate Capone.
Detectives led by Pat Roche,
chief investigator for the States
attorney, and municipal Judge
John H. lyle, nemesis Of gang
dom, last night raided an ex-
pensive suite Druggan main
taied a dowtown hotel, and
Druggan's favorite hideaway in
the quiet Rogers Park resident
ial section.
In the hotel they found the
tell-tale letters, and at the apart
lnent they discovered behind a
secret panel, an arsenal con-
sisting of a Tompson sub-ma-
chine gun, several revolvers and
q plentiful supply of ammuni-
tion.
Judge Lyle had issued a capias
for Druggan'S arrest after the
gangster had forfeited $4,000
bond by not appearing on a vag-
rancy charge.
Offers to Kill
:, Druggan's files, the raiders said,
included letters from criminals
In New York, San Francisco, Los
Angeles and other cities. most Of
them offering to commit various
crimes for the Chicagoan. Judge
Lyle said:
Gone letter stated that the
writer would do anything with
reference to Capone which
Druggan wanted, and it was
cOuched in terms which lead
us to believe that. Druggan
had been planning Capone'S
assassination"
Capone is now reported to be
in Florida.
Sought on Taxes
Among the documents seized
was a list of 1872 saloons, resorts
and gambling houses believed to
be regular buyers of Druggan's
beer.
The papers contained refer
ences to large properties. with
receipts, deeds. mortgages and
bills which indicated that Drug
gan is one of the wealthiest pub
lie enemies"
These documents will be turned
over to Federal authorities. who
seek to prosecute the gangster
for income tax evasions.
