BOATS BLAMED
FOR LIFE LOSS

NEW YORK, April 26 Q.N.S0.
Crowded lifeboats and inexpertly
tied life preserverS were blamed
today for the loss of is lives in
the burning of the freighter
Thames in Long Island Sound of
Stamford, Conn, Thursday night.
Only 10 of the crew were saved,
according to a check by authori-
ties.
The Thames was 81 years old
and swhen the fire, the orogin Of
which was not determined, broke
out the ship burned like paper.
Many of the deck hands, hastily
recruited and without sea ex-
perience, tied life preservers on
in such a manner they were
washed away shortly after the
wearers jumped into the sound,
investigators said. Others lost
their lives when crowded lifeboats
capSized in a heavy sea.
Officers on the burned boat
said failure of nearby ships to
play searchlights on the water
prevented rescue Of some Of the
drowning men.
Owners of the Thames, insur-
ance adjusterS and the Coast
Guard were to continue separate
Investigations of the fire today.

RALPH CAPONE
CONVICTED

CHICAGO, April 26 GN.S0.
Found guilty of violating the
Federal income tax laws, Ralph
Capone, brother of the famous
Alphonse, today faces a ten-year
prison sentence.
Should the maximum penalty
be imposed for each of the seven
counts it is possible for Capone
to get sentence of AZ years.
A $4,000 fine is also possible.
Federal Judge WilkerSon, be-
fore whom q jury returned the
verdict last night, deferred SEN
tence until May 16 when Capone
will plead for a new trial.
The guilty verdict against Ca
pone is the first major result Of
the Federal Governments policy
Of cooperating with Chicago au-
thorities in their drive on the
underwrld.
Capone's case will be followed
by the income tax trials against
Terry Druggan, frankie Lake
and Frank Nittix, alleged gang
Sters.
Capone had deposited amounts
totalling nearly $4,000, 600 over a
period of five years, it was shown.

WINCHESTER, Va, April 26.
Westinghouse High School, OF
Arlington county, Virginia, is
bringing back home today second
prize awarded by officials of the
Shenandoah Valley Apple Bios
som Festival for the Snappiest
looking cadet corps participating
in the big parade Of yesterday.
Included in the Arlington
county prize winners was a COM
pany of 40 classy-looking girl
cadets headed by Miss Alice Pow
ell, a teacher The girls were uni
formed in light blue shirts. dark
blue skirts, beige hose and black

Queen Shenandoah
Next Year May Be
An EngLish BEAUTY

Queen Shenandoah the Eighth,
who will reign over the Winches-
ter Apple Blossom Festival next
year as Miss Susan Pollard,
daughter of Virginia's governor,
did this, may be selected from
England.
Such a move is being seriously
discussed here today by Nelson F.
Richards, director general of the
huge pageant, which came to
close last night, and members of
the festival committee.
Plans Suggested
Two plans have been advanced.
One is to have the American
ambassador to London select the
prettiest girl he can find in Eng
land. The other is to have the
mayor of Winchester, England,
for which this town is named,
select the prettieSt girl in his
constituency.
Two drawbacks to such a
plan are being discussed. A queen
nowadays must be a beauty.
Pageant directors do not believe
they can find girls in England
to compare in looks to those of
Virginia. The second difficulty is
in setting the date in time to
have the selected girl make prep
arations and cross the Atlantic.
The date of the apple blossom
festival has to be set when or,
chard experts determine the bios
SONS will be in full bloom. 1t is
impossible to determine this
many days in advance, because
weather conditions have every
thing to do with it. President
Hoover is said to have indicated
he would attend this years feSti
val had it been delayed unril
next week.
Couldn't Wait For Hoover
The budding of the blossoms
this week made it impossible to
delay the event even for such Q
distinguished guest as the Presi-
dent of the United States.
One of the most successful
festivals in the seven years vi
such activities has now passed
into history. Nothing remains
but for the street cleaning depart.

apathy continues. The general level of
demand shows little change; but a
slight Improvement in the retail branch
is credited to tourist business. Whole
sale orders are reported fair in maritime
centers and in Vancouver, but are slow
elsewhere. Ontario manufacturing con-
tlnues quiet, most firms reporting that
they do not expect a revival until Au-

British Trade Depressed.
Depression continues to exist gener-
ally IN British trade and industry, with
the normally quiet Summer season
tending not only to prevent any appre-
ciable recovery In business conditions.

the total for June Is of wholly unem-
ployed and temporarily stopped in Great
Britain at 1885, 800 working people,

classification as a result of extended
holiday stoppages of industrial under
takings. Stocks are increasing In the
iron and steel trades despite curtail-
ment of output.
In Mexico business is quite dull in
staple lines. such as textiles, groceries
and hardware, while collections from
the interior are difficult These condi-
tions are generally due to short crops

Replies to the monthly QUESTIONABLE
received from investment dealers
throughout the country" the review
said, SHOW an accentuation OF the
general dullness and pessimisrn report
ed in May. These reports are received
from the IL Federal reserve districts.
A summary by districts Is set forth
elsewhere in this review. A consolida-
ton of the separate returns from the
IL distcricts, giving brief summary
of average opinion among investment
houses throughout the Nation, Is as
follows:
Retail distribution of bonds con-
tinues below normal, with fewer dealers
reporting more satisfactory business
than in May. Retail bond distribution,
however, Is somewhat better than Is
found in stocks, where reports of busi-
ness as being below normal were prac-
tically unanimous.
Bonds Demand Better.
"The public demand has apparently
Veered somewhat in the direction of
bonds. In April and May the reports
indicated demand for stocks and bonds
as about equal-whereas in June large
majority report the greater demand for
bonds.

Among different types of securities
the only consistent demand is for high

ton of convertibles.
Rejecting the strength of the mar
ket among higher grade bond issues
the most popular classification is found
In municipals, with public utilities and
railroads in second and third places.
In the opinion of the majority of
houses the outlook for the bond market
is fair, and in certain Federal Reserve
districts the majority foresee q good

outlook for stocks is not so promising

special Dispatch to The Star.
CHICAGO, July 5.-The American
securities market absorbed "a normal
volume" of new offerings aggregating
$3,815 ,032,410 during the first six months
of this year-despite a slowing down of
business activities. according to the
monthly investment review of Lawrence
Stern & Co., investment bankers Of
Chicago and New York.
The total of security financing was
about 10 per cent below the volume in
the same period a year ago, but the
review stated that new offerings this
year represented "a more normal
balance between stocks and bonds than
was the case last year"
Figures compiled in the review in
dicated that major security buying Is
again shifting back to bonds from
stocks. Bond offerings for the first
six months of the year showed an in
crease of IS per cent, or nearly bill
lion dollars more than last year at
this time. At the same time stock
financing decreased about So per cent,
or over billion and a half.
Investment Dealers Pessimistic.
Although the security markets are
Showing ability to take care of the
Nations normal financing needs, in
vestment dealers throughout the coun-
try were reported by the review to be
rather pessinistic as to the business
outlook-their forecasts ranged from
poor to fair and with very few ventur-
ing prediction of good business in the
near future
The following tabulation shows the
volume of new financing in bonds and
stocks during the first half of 1880 as
compared with the same period of
1929:

New Security Offerings in June.
The volume of new public offerings
OF stocks and bonds in June showed a
slight increase over May Total new
offerings were about $4,000, O00 as
compared to approximately $500, 000,-
600 in May. Bond offerings were S709,-
512,168, as compared to $623, 098,121 in
May. June stock offerings amounted to
$1768S6 604, which is almost exactly
equivalent to the May volume.
Chicago was a close second to New
York In volume of new bond financing
during June, but a lack of Chicago
stock issues makes the combined New
York volume of $41o,826,604 more than
twice as large as that of Chicago.
Pittsburgh and Boston we're in third
and fourth places, respectively.
Average Yields at Offering Prices.
The weighted (by volume) index Of
the average yields of new corporate Sc
curities at their offering prices shows a
substantial decline for the month OF
June, registering the lowest yield that
has been witnessed for many months.
1t Is also interesting to note that the
average yields of new offerings for the
first six months of 1880 are substan-
tally lower than those for the first
six months of 1929.
The low average yield of new bond
offerings reflects the fact that the
major issues during June were almost
entirely among the higher-grade bonds.
A compilation of the average yields
for June both in 1880 and 1929, TO-
gether with the figures for May, 1880.
