ORIENT TRADING
Up IN MARCH

United States trade with tie
Far East has taken an upward
trend, according to figures for
March, announced by the Com
merce Department yesterday.
Combined exports and imports
aggregated $137. 1855 600, represent
ing a 4 per cent increase, conf
pared with the preceding month.
Exports of American raw COT
ton to the Orient showed an in
crease in quantity, but lower
prices reduced the total value.
Iron and steel exports were the
largest since April, 1929. In.
creases also were registered in
lumber, electrical equipment. COP
per, cigarettes, foodstuffs, rubber
tires and kerosene oil.
The fact that the Total was
below that of March, 1880, was
attributed to political unrest,
trade interferences, economic and
financial difficulties and fluctu-
ating currencieS in the Far East.

BY w. s. COUSINS

NEW YORK, May 10 QNGJ.
Good recoveries were made in
the first period today in a dozen
or more active stocks which were
under fire at the close of Thurs

point rallies restored only. a small
part Of yesterdays losses.
The market as a whole made
no response to the $67, 200, 900
decrease in brokers loans an.
nounced last night.
Official confirmation was given
Of the rumored plan to acquire
rs per cent Of the stock of Co

change of United Corporations

first effect Of which was to
cause heavy selling of United a

.AYRES REPORTS
RECOVERY

CLEVELAND, May 16.-Grow-
ing evidences of a gradual i'm
provement in business conditions
are making themselves evident
diSpite the recent decline in the
took market, Colonel Ayres, of
the Cleveland Trust Company,
yesterday declared.
Colonel Ayres pointed out that
the decline in national conSump-
ton has not been as great as in
national production and that as
result of this condition short
ages of supplies and products
are now in the making.
Cites Bond Buying
The best evidence that the de-
bottom, he asserted, is to be
found in the definite easing of
money rates and the increasing
purchases of bonds by banks.
In former years, important busi-
ness receSSions have never fol
lowed the appearance of similar
conditions.
Discussing the recent decline
in the stock market, he. said:
"The recent sharp declines of
prices in the stock market may
probably be correctly interpreted
as reflecting general diSappOint-
men in the slow rate of business
recovery. Late last year, Secur-
itX prices rebOundeN from the
Inuy~ NR
then moved irregularIy up and
down in the early weeks of this
year. ..,.
I'm February a vigorous ad-
vance got under way. which con-
tinued into the middle of April,
and apparently was based on
confident expectations of a
prompt improvement in general
business"
Explains Reaction
The failure Of the market to
hold these gains, he pointed out,
was due to the disappointment ma
ture of reports issued for the first
quarter.
Net earnings of 25 large corpora
tions during the first quarter, ac-
cording to tabulation compiled
by Colonel AyreS, showed a decline
of % per cent for the first quarter
a year ago. The earnings, how
ever, were larger than in any pre-
vious first quarter and larger than
in any quarter prior to the spring
of 1927.

Lone Character
In Stage Show

NEW YORK, April 80. U.P)-Thc
dream of every theatrical producer
to stage show with only one. actor
and only one set, came true last
night when Elsa Shelley opened in
"COurtesan."
Never before in theatrical his
tory, it was said, had an actress
appeared as the only member of
the cast of a full-length. three-act
play. The performance was made
more ambitious by the fact that
Miss Shelley, although no newcom-
er to the theatre, was comparative
y little known on Broadway.
The drama written by Irving
Kaye Davis and presented by JOS
eph Leone. was indifferently receiv-
ed by the newspaper critics. Typ
zeal comments were "unusual, but
wearisome," and "interesting, but
not vc-y."

TO LINDBERCHS

NEW YORK, April 80. U.P)-The
United Press confirmed from a
trustw orthy source today that a
child will be born to Mrs. Charles
A. Lindbergh within the next few
weeks.
Mrs Lindbergh has gone into re.
tirement to await the event, expect
ed within six weeks, and her hus.
band now in Panama will be back
in ample time to be present at the
event.
Where Mrs. Lindbergh is staying
was not revealed but there is reason
to believe shelfiss at the home of
her parents, Ambassador and Mrs
Dwight w. Morrow, in Englewood,
n. j.
Rumors of the expected child
have reeurred, the last. two months.
And one of the reasons for the re-
cent record flight of Lindbergh and
, his wife from California to New
York was believed to have been
their desire to allow ample time for
Mrs. Lindbergh to rest near the
home of her parents.
Today, however, it was definitely
confirmed that the Lindberghs are
anticipating the event.

ONE-TIME CHICAGO BUM NOW
HEAD OF SOVIET RAILROADS

the I. w. w. crowd when "Big
Bill" Haywood was around
here"
Files of newspapers from
1915 to 1921 elaborated the old
mans memory.
Hull House echoed in those
days to the harangue Of a
paunchy, fluent man Of 35 or
so, a native OF Kiev, Russia,
who had come to the United
States in 1907 when his politi-
cal ideas became too liberal
for the old world monarchy.
When the Russian revolution
broke out, he decided to get in
with the leaders from the start.
He was placed in command of
a division and helped repel the
drive Of General Yudenich on
what then was Petrograd.
For that feat he was award
ed the decoration of the red
banner and given a post tanta-
mount to chief Of police of Pc
trograd.
Ronors and responsibilities
came fast. He cooperated with
Serebroski to put the Soviet oil
industry on it's feet and was a
director Of the Soviet Metal
Trust. Then he was given the
the post of supervisor of the
far Easter Republic Trans
pcrtation System and began
one Of the most ambitious rail
road building programs of mod
ern times, in which as many as

TREATMENT OF
CANCER SAID TO
BE INEFFECTIVE

CHICAGO, April 80. Outpost
morten examinations of 80 cancer
patients treated in the Coffey-
Der clinic at San Francisco, failed
to support hopes that a cure for
the disease had been discovered the
American Medical Association Jour
nal said in it's current issue today.
The editorial discussing the treat
ment, discovered by Drs. Waiter
B. Coffey and John B. Humber and
which consisted of an injection of
gland extract designed to destroy
cancer tissue without harming nor
NAL body tissues, was written by
DR.. Morris Fishbein, editor of the
Journal.
Psychologists ana surgeons who
have investigated the method eX-
press nothing but profound disap
pointment with both the clinical
and pathological results" Fishbein
wrote. "These experts indicate that
post mortem examinations, which
have been made in at least 80 cases,
do not reveal any definite specific
destruction of cancer tissue or evi-
dence that the progress of the
spread of cancer in the bodies of
the afflicted persons had been re-
tarded
"Several clinicans w h have
watched the results closely affirm
that the patients. have been reliev-
ed of pain after the first one or two
injections, but that usually requires
more opiate thereafter to contro
pain"

TWO KILLED AND
One DYING AFTER
FIGHT OVER FISH

SAN FRANCISCO, April 30. U.P)
- Like a grey and bloody Charon
come to life, a dying fisherman steer
ed his smack into port today with
the bodies of two men he had killed
az cargo.
He is Anton Anderson, giant Swedc
fisherman. Early today he shot it out
with two officers of the law. They
were killed and he was perhaps NOR
tally wounded.
One was Andrew Curry, game
warden. The other man was Deputy
Sheriff Jack Burke of San Mateo
county.
To ambulance attendants, Ander-
son gasped out his story:
"They tried to take my catch.
They couldn't do it. They said ! was
fishing in illegal waters. / WASH It. -
The bloody battle was waged at
dawn in the Lower bay, favorite fish
ing grounds of Anderson for twenty
five years.
First intimation of the tragedy
came when waterfront loiterers saw
the floating bier as it made its zig
gag way up the bay under the han
ding of its pilot.
Anderson jcrked his finger over
his shoulder at the tarpaulin-covered
heap in the stern. The crude shrouds
removed, the small crowd glimpsed
his cargo and called police.
Anderson was taken to emergency
hospital.
Curry and Burke were said to have
had other clashes with Anderson.
They were believed to have boarded
him from Curry's official b a t.
What followed, according to police,
was a matter of conjecture. Appar-
| emily all three drew revolvers.
When the death barge reached the
! harf, Curry body was sprawled on
, the deck, "A little forward, Burke 5
few feet aft. Curry had been shot
in the back at the base of the spine,
Burke through the chest.
When police rolled Burke $ body
over, a police whistle was elenched
between his teeth.
Anderson is known along the
! waterfront as recluse, but a fine
| fisherman. He is about 60 years old.
At the hospital, physicians SAID An
dcrson's vigorous constitution might
bring linn through. He suffered two
dcep chest wounds.
