NEW YORK, May 5.-The stock
market appeared to have touched bot
tom during the greater part of todays
session. Wall Street was inclined to
take q cautious view, however. pending
determination as TO whether the mar
ket was really at the bottom of the
abyss, or had merely caught on ledge.
Trading progressed in enormous vol
ume, the ticker again falling far In
arrears. Stocks were dumped upon the
market in large volume during the first
half hour, but were well taken. Brok-
ers reported that a large amount of
investment buying had been attracted
ut current levels, and that many in
an-out traders were buying stocks in
anticipation of a sharp rally. Such a
rally as might be attributed to a rush
Of short covering failed to appear save
in few stocks, however, and the ap-
parent unconcern of the bear crowd
was regarded as little disconcerting.
Commission house advices were rather
cautious, pointing out that further dis
tress selling might be hanging over the
market, and that bears might launch
q new drive before covering. The
hysterta Of Saturday, however, appeared
to have given way to q more sober at
titude over the week end.
A fresh wave of selling in the fourth
hour carried many issues below Satur-
days closing levels
Call money repeated Fridays process
of renewing at 3la per cent, then drop
ping to 3. Time loans eased further.
Renewed selling in the final hour,
with the ticker As minutes behind the
market, drove leading industrials from
to 6 points below the Saturday lows.

when he was 8, he had learned to
swim and to ride. His mother had him

he was a year old. 1t was she, also

he was of the kindergarten age of the
present generation.
He was born in 1860 in log cabin,
near the banks of the Kansas River,
in what is new North Topeka. The

the lessons that were of so much help
to him in getting his feet on the first
rungs of the ladder of success.

7 HREE ESCAPE
ROCKVILLE JAIL
Colored Youths Force Way
Into Attic and Flee After
Slide to Ground.
special plspatch to rhs Star.


ROCKVILLE, Md, July 26.-Three
colored youths escaped from the Rock
vile jail early tonight by forcing their
way into the attic through a bolted
trap door, punching hole in the slate
roof and sliding 20 feet to the ground
down rope of blankets
The absence of the prisoners, two
OF whom are from Washington, was
noted about $3.50 o'clock, and police
men and members of the Volunteer
Fire Department Immediately began
an extended search on the basis OF
reports from toWnspeople that the three
we're seen short distance from the
city travelling toward Washington. .
Charles r. Harrison, %, arrested on
an assault charge, and Leroy williams
%, held on charge of larceny, both
from Washington, were joined in the
escape by Augustus Scroggins, 20, OF
Buckeystown, Md, held for alleged
larceny. All three awaited the action
of the November grand jury.
The escape was engineered in the
same manner employed by two white
men last December At that time au-
thorities of the jail battened down
the trapdoor leading to the attic with
two heavy bolts and were confident
that the door would hold in the event
OF another such attempt. The bolted
door deferred the youths only mo-
mentarily, II at all, and the circum-
stances were such that an investiga.
ton was instituted to determine If the
prisoners had assistance,
Two OF the men occupied one cell
while the third was stationed near
them, and 1t was said that two eel
doors had TO be broken before the
attack on the trapdoor could BE-
started.

siren brought scores of persons to the
