 Lucian Budnick, who gave an ad- dress of PA Booth street, was trav- cling along the street in the same direction and as the former car started into the main portion of the road a collision between the two was the result.

Pivotal Shares On Stock Market Generally Display More Buoyant
 Spirit Due to Optimistic Reports
Sharp Drop of S159, 100000 Shown in Brokerage Loan Tabulation Helps Business Somewhat.

New York, Oct. 3 P-Interests favoring the constructive side of the stock market derived encouragement from several sources today, and pivotal shares generally reflected the more buoyant spirit.
 Business news remained of an in different character, but the sharp drop of s159, 100000 shown in the weekly brokerage loan tabulation, the remarks of President Hoover before the American Bankers asso- ciation, and the resistance offered to selling pressure in the preceding session of the market, instilled con- siderable cautious optimism.
 The pace of trading again slack ened but a large assortment of leading shares gained points or more. Bear selling of the mail or der and a few of the rail shares around midday failed to make head way. Shares gaining to more than 3 points included U. s. Steel, Ameri- can Can, National Biscuit, Loews, Dupont, American Tobacco B, Liz gett and Myers B, American Tele- phone, American Water Works, Consolidated Gas, Eastman, Inter national Harvester, and Continental Baking A. Shares advancing or more included Johns- Manville, Air Reduction, Colorado Fuel, Case, and Mack, the last named selling up more than 6.
 Climax Reached
 Commission houses were not in clined to look for any runaway bull market, but several felt that yes- tcrday's action tended to indicate that the September decline had reached fairly definite climax on Tuesday. The brokerage loan tab ulauon, covering the trading week ended Tuesday, was indicated as bearing out the theory, for the sharp decline in loans at last gave evidence of the wedding out of weak holdings. The preceding three weeks had resulted in a net gain in loans of s112,0o0,ooO despite a sharp contraction in quotations.
 While MT. Hoover refrained from making any predictions as to when better times may be expected. bulls hoped that the reasoned optimism which he expressed would go far toward dssipating the some what hysterical peNmism- that had reigned in speculative circles of late.
 Early samples of weekend busi- ness reviews indicated some slowing down of the seasonal upswing noted in previous weeks, but further gains during October were still expected in many lines. Omission of the Rich- field oil dividend was the outstanding item of the days corporate news, but it had been clearly foreshadowed by the market action in the stock.
 Although more dividend reduc. tions and unfavorable earnings statements are expected during the next few months, 7bullish circles feeI that this may have been discontin. ued by the September decline. In the meantime, several large bear traders have not changed their po- sition, and most observers see little if any indication that important banking groups are taking any in- terest in the market at this time.
 Call money again renewed at 2 per cent, but the offering of funds for placement over the weekend imparted an easier tone to the money market.

Await Kelley Story


 Washington, Oct. P)-Two in quisitors into charges of oil lan1 maladministration were lat home" today to Ralph Kelley, former in terior department official who had accused Secretary Wilbur of favor itism to large oil companies, and one at least appeared assured of hearing the full story.
 While Seth w. Richardson, assist ant attorney general assigned to in- vestigate the charges at Wilbur's re- quest, failed to get in touch with Kelley yesterday although he dis patched messengers to the latter's hotel and called him repeatedly on the telephone, Chairman Nye Qf the senate lands committee returned to the city from a brief trip to hear that Kelley looked forward to see ing him.
 Wye had written Kelley earlier in the week asking a conference. Rich ardson held out to Kelley the in ducement of an office and a sten- ographer to aid him in making out detailed statement of his accusa- tions, but so far apparently had not succeeded in interesting Kelley.
 Insists On Telling
 Kelley has said he will "insist upon the opportunity" to substanti- ate in full all his charges
 On Yves conference with Kelley depends to a large extent whether a senate inquiry of the charges will be undertaken. Both the senator and Richardson are we'll acquainted with oil fraud chargeS having had charge of separate inquiries into al legations concerning tho leases on the Salt Creek fields in Wyoming. Exhaustive inquiry resulted in the withdrawal of complaints against these leases but both the senator and the assistant attorney general are looking for any clue which may have a bearing on them. Nye saw a possibility that something of this sort might appear in Kelley's con- plaint.

KELLEY REFUSES
 ID AIR CHARGES
Nye Says Oil Mans Statement
 Deserves Inquiry

Washington, Oct 3 (P - Ralph S. Kelley, former head of the land office at Denver, who has charged maladministration of Colorado oil shale lands, declined today to lay his case before the department of justice.
 Kelley left his hotel this morning Chairman Nye, of the senate lands committee.
 He received a letter last night from Assistant Attorney General Seth w. Richardson, who is con- ducting the federal investigation. He said he would not reply until later.
 Richardson's office said today he had received no information as to when he could expect a statement, naming specific oil shale cases in controversy. from the former Den yer official: Richardson tried un- successfully throughout yesterday to reach Kelley for conference.
 T can't help but be impressed by the spirit moving Kelley at this stage" Nye said. T think he is en- titled to thorough hearing"
 The North pakotan said if the de partment of justice did not take ac- ton on Kelley's charges he would feel required to introduce a resolu- ton in the senate calling for an in vestigation."
 Nye explained Kelley had not laid his case before Assistant At torney General Seth w. Richard son, who has been assigned to con- duct the investigation, because of a "belief that Richardson has pre- judged his case"
 Nye talked with the. assistant at torney general by telephone im- mediately after his conference with the Denver official, telling Richard son Kelley was ."displeased" be- cause he thought his case prejudged.
 Kelley told newspapermen he ex- pected to make public his full charges within the next few days.

WILSON NEXT,
SAYS SH|RES

BOSTON, Jan. 11.-Hack Will
son, Chicago Cubs outfielder, was
today a marked man, if Arthur
"the great" Shires runs true to
form.
Shires issued a challenge today
following his bout here last even-
ing with AL Spohrer announcing:
Better than anything else I want
to meet Hack Wilson"
Shires, the much-touted baseball
pugiliSt from Chicago, won hand
lily over al Spohrer, Braves
catcher, in their six round bout
at the Boston Garden. 1t was
Spohrer's ring debut. It should
have been over in the first round
when 1.-The Great" Shires caught
AL flush on the chin with a right
hook that shook the tribal back
stop from head to toe and put
CLASSY stare in his eyes that never
did clear.
The plucky little SpOhrer
Immediately went into his
shell" from which he never
emerged.
Whether Shires couldn't have
knocked his opponent out. or
whether he carried Spohrer along,
through the goodness of his heart,
until the fourth round was a
matter of conjecture on the part
of the 10000 fans that thronged
into the Garden. The bout was
automatically stopped when Spoh-
rer's seconds jumped into the ring
to halt the Furnishing of the
utterly exhausted AL.
In the final bout Ernie Schaaf
and AL Friedman, local heavy
weights, waded through ten
round colorful fray, Schaaf being
given the decision.

Los ANGELES, Calf, Jan. IL.
Enjoying none too comfortable
lead over his rivals, John Rogers,
Denver golfer. today topped the
field Of competitors in the annual
Los Angeles $4,000 open tourna-
fnent with score of 20 for the
first 13-hole round.
Despite his reputation as a
long-range artist, Rogers was
forced to deliver himself Of a
corking good performance to
achieve the score, which Is one
under par. The Riviera Country
Club course was soggy with rain
water and even the most optimis-
tic golf, addict would have been
pleased with a close approxima-
ton of a par score under such
conditions.
A young Los Angeles amateur,
Charles Seaver, u1ravelled a sur
prtsing performance to check in
with a 72 and tie the far-famed
Chicagoan, AL Espinosa, for Sec
ond place.
Third place was shared by
Leo Diegel, Aqua Caliente
pro, and Horton Smith, Of
Joplin, Mo-, each Of whom
strOked 73. Tommy Armour,
Of Detroit; MaSsie Miller. Of

for fourth position.
So close was the play that all
the leading contenders for the
cash were punched within seven
strokes of Rogers at the end OF
the first round.

open twice, was a bit off color,

IOWA CITY, Iowa, Jan. Ii
Any official action taken on the
status of the University Of Iowa's
eleven ineligible athletes will
have to come from a vote of the
Western conference as a body,
1t was announced today by con-
ference faculty men meeting here
as an investigating body.
The faculty delegates, non
committal as to their plans, ar
rived here yesterday and went
into conference with the univer.
Sity eligibility committee.
1t was learned that the
original list Of IA athletes
made ineligible when the con!
ference dropped Iowa from
the league, has dropped to
eleven. Three men have quit
school or have completed attn.
letic competition.
The committee, continuing in
session here today, is composed

The Amateur Athletic Union
seems to think so, for its Secre-
tary, Daniel j. Ferris, averred to-
day that he saw the sinister
shadow Of a man who is well
known in the foreign athletic
field lowering in the background
Of various one-man campaigns
that have been conducted by Eu-
ropean stars here from time to
time. It Is for this reason, it
seems, that the A. A. U. decided
to issue it's own invitations to
foreigners this year and to he;kle
those who were in such haste to
come here that the couldn't wait
to be invited.
'As far as we are concerned,
this mans activities are as plain
as a board fence" Ferris declared.
Operating behind the scenes. he
manages certain meets that have
no logical reason for being neld,
except that he wishes them nelc.
He has q great influence over
the field Of foreign athletes.
Zone or more of them usu-
ally are found among the
entries at these games and,
since the foreigners are un.
doubted drawing cards, this
man profits accordingly. Be-
cause he operates anonymous

than hamper his activities.

1t may be significant that Eu.
ropean travel in America seems to
be curtailed considerably this
year. A half dozen Germans were
unable to accept the A. A. us
kind invitation. Loukola, the Firm,
likewise had previous engage
ment or even a series of them.
Anyhow, he couldn't come, either.
Perhaps it is just as well that
they couldn't come. For the A.

oversight so enraged the A. A.
U. that 1t handed him his hat
and asked him to stay awhile.
meantime calling upon the inn
migration authorities to do some
thing violent and immediate. All
the immigration authorities could
do was nothing, so the A. A. U.
bowed pleasantly to the man and
asked about the old folks at
home.
AS for Petkiewicz, it was only
yesterday that the A. A. U. de
cided that he might do what the
Polish Government sent him here
to do. They said he might run
with reservations. That's how
the average American athlete
seems to run in the Olympic
games, so maybe the A. A. us
suggestion was not the acme OF
originality.
Anyhow, they said he might
run but, strangely enough.
Not in the meets that he, as
q free-bOrn. citizen, might
wish to honor by personal
preference. The A. A. u, it
seems, has decided that Pet
kiewicz has changed his mind
and 50 will graciOusly select
his meets for him.
1t all goes back to the sinister
gentleman, the human spider
lurking in the depths Of his web.
Petkiewicz's bona fideS are per-
feet. His government has sent
him here. A high official of the
Polish Athletic Federation has
accompanied him. These condi-
tionS might seem to cover all
contingencies but the don't. His
one mistake is that he came here
because he wanted to and not
because the A. A. U. summoned
him.
Therefore, If they didn't sum-
mon him, the man higher up
must have done it. This is A.
A. u. reasoning, not mine.
However, I don't doubt Mr..
Petkiewicz is glad to learn that
he may compete. even if he may
do so only according to specifica-
tionS. II looked for a time as
though the only exercise he was
going to set over here was . run
n his stocking
