 Police described the riot as a "brawl' and "of no importance and an effort was made to suppress the facts. No news was given to news papers. Responsibility for the fight was not clear, although some said it was inspired by communists. Oth- CTS credited the disturbance to gangsters seeking to retaliate for re- cent anti-Filipino riots in California.
 The navy men, numbering about 50 and chiefly petty officers, were drinking beer after the baseball game. An agitator mounted a box and spoke to the Filipinos in Taga- log, the native dialect.

 The walters stopped work and de- manded more money. When refused, one pulled a piece of lead pipe from under his shirt and began beating MecklinberG. the nearest sailor. Clubs, blackjacks and stones as well as pieces of pipe appeared.

COUNTESS BURIED
 BESIDE HUSBAND
Dies Four Days After Mate-
 Resigned to Her Death

London. March IT P-Death of the countess of Coventry yesterday four days after the decease of her husband, the ninth earl of Coven- try, awakened sympathetic emo- tions, not only among her friends, but among the public.
 It was more than a coincidence that the aged lady-she was ST followed her husband so speedily. Within an hour of her bereavement she was saying: T do not wish to live any longer" and took to her bed almost at once with evident consciousness that her wish would be granted
 She was not ill. her physicians said. She merely lost the will to live since she was separated finally from the man whose companion sns had been for 65 years. Their mutual friendliness long had been a mat ter of remark in their social circles.
 Always try to appreciate one an- others point of view and never quac- rel.' the Earl gave recently as the golden rule for a happy married life. Both he and the countess seemed 10 find it easy to follow.
 They were buried today. side by side, in the family vault at Croonle Court, Worcester.

CURbLIST SHOWS
 UNCERTAIN TREND
Buying Continues in 0ils-Price
 Movement Narrow

New York, March IT P}-Tradine on the curb market today reflected speculative uncertainty. Unusually cheap credit failed to dispel the obscurity overhanging the general business outlook and traders for the most part pursued highly cautious lines of activity and price move- ments were largely narrow and ir- regular.
 Aggressive buying continued in some of the oils, as the California production figures for last week, showing further moderate decline, again cast a more favorable light upon this group.
 Humble and Gulf each moved up 3 or 4 points to new high levels for the year, and other petroleum issues were mostly steady to firm. Cities Service was turned over in large volume. but still failed to make headway in either direction. Stand ard of Indiana was fairly well bought.
 Most of the utilities moved in mar row ranges. Electric Bond and Share attracted better support, and sold slightly higher during most of the day. Consolidated Gas of Balti- more moved moderately higher. Is sues of the standard group, how ever, continued to sag. L. s. Flee tric Power. and United Founders, which is heavily interested in the former, both touched new low levels since trading in them was inaugu- rated on this market.
 Industrials drifted without much direction, Ford, Ltd, moved up above 17 for the first time this year. and Silica Gel was bid up more than a point to new 930 high. Rey- holds Metals made fair gain.
 Acme Wire, American Chain, Arcturus Tube and Tubize Artificial Silk, were under pressure.
 Investment Trust Shares largely traded in narrow ranges.

Oil Shares Activity Forces Market
 Out of Early lrregularity Into
 General Gains Reaching , Points
Bears Fail in Effort to Un- settle Trading-Reports of Slackened Industrial Efforts Have Little Ef- feet on List.

New York, March r R-Buying Of the oil shares, a score of which moved into new high ground on gains ranging from fractions to five points, turned the general course of stock prices upward today after an early period of irregularity. The de- mand for the oils was influenced by recent favorable developments in the trade situation, and rumors that the United States senate was likely to adopt duty on oil.
 Bears Fail in Efforts
 Bearish professionals tried to un- settle the market in the early trad ing, but failed to force much liqui- dation of long stock. American To- comotive, Gillette Safety Razor, h. ternational Silver and L. S Indus trial Alcohol were hammered to new low levels for the year, and probab bly dozen other issues sold down l to points.
 Despite reports of slackening lr some ot the major industries last week, Wall Street found consider able encourage in preliminary V reports that federal income tax col lections were exceeding earlier esti- mates and from Secretary Lamont s statement that officials of various states were showing remarkable CO., operation in responding to the fed eral government. plea that building work be speeded up.
 Call money was in plentiful sup ply at the renewal figure of 8 E per cent but dropped to in the fourth hour. Outside money was available as low as 212 per cent.
 New 1880 highs in the oil group were registered by Atlantic Refin- ing, Indian Refining common and the certificates, Midcontinent, Pierce Oil issues, Pierce Petroleum, Simms Petroleum, Skully, Standard Oils of California and New York, Trans continental new) and Texas X Pacific Coal and Oil. In addition, Houston was marked up nearly five points and Standard Oil of New U ti ScS anu I CAdS Ioi pOI dtiOIl SOlu at least two points above last weeks final quotations.
 Warrington Pump led the spe- cialty list with an early gain of nearly points, setting new peak for the year at 120.
 Auburn Auto and J. l. Case sold at least : points higher, and Her. shey Chocolate, International Busi- ness Machines, May Department Stores and Sears Roebuck advanced to nearly points.

 Gave to Her Husband

Washington, March 1T P>-Mrs ward l.. Doheny, today took the stand in her husbands trial or charges of bribery, to tell of the loan of $100,000 Doheny made to Albert B. Fall, former secretary of the in terior in November, 1921.
 Mrs. Doheny" asked Frank J Hogan, Dohenys chief counsel, "did you ever see a promissory note bear ing Albert B. Falls signature?"
 "Yes," replied Mrs. Doheny.
 She told how the signature was torn from the Fall note by her husband justS before they departed from New York to Los Angeles. She said Doheny told her it was a de- mand note, and if anything hap pened to them it would leave Fall in a bad position if their eXecutor insisted on payment. He explained, she said, that by tearing off the signature. Fall would be safe until a ble to pay the money.
 She told of taking the note to Los Angeles and putting it in a safe deposit box and added it was misplaced and not found until after Doheny had testified before the senate oil committee. She produced inc signature which was shown the jury. She also identified the remain der of the note.

Low Rates Spur Trade to Larger
 Proportions During Day

New York. March 17 Pl-With some dealers quoting short term loans at 3$t to f per cent and the long maturities at to 4 +, reduc- tions of a quarter of one per cent from last weeks figures, the bond market continued to advance today. The colume of trading was on a slightly smaller scale than in the recent bullish sessions.
 Commercial Paper was also cas- fer. while call money renewed at 1-2 per cent and was available in the outside market at 1o. The decline in interest rates which has been in progress here for some time has now extended to other sections of the country, resulting in an in- creased demand for bonds from many sources.
 Railroads in Demand

Southern Railway General As, North ern Pacific "B" 6s, Burlington Gen eral As, Illinois Central Collateral 4s Union Pacific First 4s, and New York Central (Lake Shore) Collat- cral 3 1-2s rallied from about 1-2 to more than a point. Shell Union Oil 4s with warrants, Skelly Oil Debenture 1-2s and Sinclair Pipe Line 5s tended higher, the last named rising more than a point to a new peak at 9S.
 Miscellaneous points of activity included International Mercantile Marine 6s, Postal Telegraph 5s, h. diana Limestone 6s and most of the New York fractions.
 French Republics Rise
 French Republic 712s rose a shade above their previous maxi mum. South American bonds were generally strong.
 United States governments. rath CT irregular in the early dealings, were moderately active. The fourth liberties touched 102 and the treas ury 3 3-Ss went to 101 +.
 The days largest piece of new financing was the $15,000.000 issue of Wabash Railway 5O-year general, mortgage 5s, promptly oversub- scribed at the offering price of 1001a.
 Three small municipal loans to- talling about $6,000,0O0, were also marketed.

CONTESTED BANK
 ROBBERS IN JAIL
Three Men May Face Death for
 Staying of Sheriff

Johnson, Kas., March r LP)-Fac- ing the possibility of the moose in Colorado or life Imprisonment in Kansas, three confessed Manter, Kas. bank robbers, also accused of the staying of Deputy Sheriff Charles Hickman. of Eads, Colo, today were held in jail here, awaiting a decision of officers as to what state would be granted custody.
 The men, John Walker. 21, Joplin. Mo; Andrew J. Halliday, P, and Clyde Rhea, A, both of Webb City, Mo, were captured by posse Sat- urday afternoon near Jetmore, Kas. The capture ended one of the most pretentious man hunts ever to take place in the rugged Arroya county along the Colorado Kansas border.
 All Deny Shooting
 Although admitting the $4,000 hank robbery which occurred Fri day, all of the prisoners denied any connection with the killing of Deputy Sheriff Hickman, and the vounding of three other men. Each oi tIle lIlO dulllllcu lldNlHS served prison sentences and committing other bank robberies.
 Officers who led the 26-hour man hunt, aided by hundreds of volun- teer possemen, ten airplanes, and a pack of blood hounds, believed the prisoners participated in two run- ming gun fights, one resulting in the staying of the deputy at Eads.
 Mrs. w. D. Rorick, 105-pound woman sheriff of Stanton county, in whose custody the prisoners are held. scoffed at reports of possible violence against her prisoners. She ordered extra guards posted outside the jail, however.
