POLICE CAR FIGURES
 IN TRIPLE SMASH
John Boyle's Truck Damaged as Arc Other Two Automobiles in
 Collision.

Automobiles driven by Arno G. Kerber, of BOA Maple street; Max Stavnezer of 80 Hartford avenue and a police car being operated by Off cer David Doty figured in collision just before 1 o'clock today about 200 feet south of Main street on Frank lin Square.
 Officer David Doty was driving north on Franklin Square returning from a fire on Warlock street and Stavnezer was going in the opposite direction. As the two cars were al- most opposite each other a traffic jam caused by the traffic light at the corner of Main and Elm streets forced the officer to slow down.
 Kerber, who was following behind the police car, was unable to stop the truck he was driving and which was owned by the John Boyle Co. As he turned out to avoid striking the police car he collided with the one driven by Stavnezer. The truck then caromed off the left rear fen der of the former car and into the left rear fender of the police car.
 The Boyle Co.,. truck suffered a flat tire while the damage to the other two vehicles was a little more extensive. The police car was dam- aged about the rear left fender, the stop light was broken and the left rear bumper was bent. The Stavnez- CT machine also suffered badly

NEW CULTURE AIDS
 HUGE CELERY FARM
Square Mile Of Single Product Near Stockton, Cal.

Stockton, Cal, Oct. IT R-More than a square mile of celery in a single Sbed-approximately 21,450,000 punches in all-and each one plant ed by hand.
 That comprises what is called the worlds largest individual celery farm.
 This acreage. furthermore, is more than doubled by neaby tracts also controlled by J. c. Maurer and his four sons near here.
 If all celery plants grown by fath- CT and sons were in a single row, spaced the customary six inches, it would stretch more than 7.1SO miles-more than twice the distance across the continent.
 In 40 years celery experience in New York state, Maurer accumulated some ideas about how celery could be grown in California. They were rather unique and wholly theoretical, but he was eager to try them.
 Five years ago he succeeded in interesting his sons in western migration. Two abandoned college careers to participate in the family venture.
 They started with 40 acres and added to it yearly, yet the achieve ment is more one of innovation and method than of mere magnitude.
 Unlike New York, Michigan or other celery producing areas, rains cannot be expected at planting time to keep plants in the transplanting season in the San Joaquin valley.
 So the NEurers adopted a method of flooding land under six inches to foot of water. The soil is peat sediment, so trenching has to be done when the ground is so soft that horses frequently bog.
 After much experimentation, an average of 12O crates per acre has been achieved for the farm as d whole, with 250 crates an acre for some of the tract.
 Through improved methods of culture. blanching and packing, the California product is able to com- pete in the New York market-the worlds largest for celery-despite the long freight haul.

DAYS OF HIGH HAT
 APPEAR NUMBERED
Auto Believed Chief Cause Of
 Silk Topper's Decline

Philadelphia, Oct. IT (UP)-The Thigh hat" once the proud possess sion of every we'll dressed man, is slowly disappearing. the victim of the march of time and the automo- bile, according to James Rodgers, a veteran salesman in one of the lead ing hat shops here.
 Rodgers, reminiscing on the "gay nineties" and the early days of the twentieth century, gives the auto mobile as the chief cause for the disappearance of the "silk topper" He says that in those days man would come into the store and pur- chase silk hat for himself and one for his coachman but the chauffeur now wears a cap and the iceable for fast driving in the auto mobile.
 A slight revival in the use of the silk hat was noticed by Rodgers during last winter and he says that this year the demand is even great CT. Flowing dresses, which have be- come so popular with the women. are given as the reason for the in crease in demand, the natter stat ing that he believes the men are trying to ''dress up" to the ladies. The number of men making the hats also has decreased from 100 workers in the city fifty years ago until now there are only about a dozen men doing this sort of work here. Silk hats, at one time made in number of cities, now are manu- factured in New York and Phila- delphia alone, these two cities sup plying the entire country.
 Rodgers does not think, however, even with the increase in popu- larity of the topper" for evening wear, that they will ever regain their former place in the wardrobe of the man-about-town. Many of the former purchasers have disap- peared. The coachman is now a thing of the past, undertakers dress like normal people, no longer wear | ing the silk hat, somber suit and long face, the uniform of their posi- ton for so many years, and the dandy no longer promenades the streets in the afternoon.

BONDS MAINTAIN
 UPWARD TENDENCY
Activity Again Falls Of in
 Foreign Issues

New York, Oct. IT P)-An up- ward trend was maintained by the bond market in an irregular and quiet session.
 Prime bonds were generally firm. although second and third grade is- sues of domestic corporations were mixed, but as in the previous ses sions this week showed no market tendency one way or the other.
 There was less activity in the for eign group. Issues that have moved up most sharply were thinly traded but generally higher. Many Latin American issues are now selling from 10 to Is points above the record low levels reached in the wave of liquidation that unsettled the market last week. Bargain hunters were attracted to the buying side follow ing the sharp reductions which brought sharp increases in the yield on dollar issues.
 New financing for the week end GU lOudy SHON GU ollldil lllSlSdoC over the previous six day period, despite the holiday on Monday. Of- ferings totaled $127.29S,0O0 com- pared with 9,739,000 last week when the bulk of the financing was in one issue, the s100, 100000 Canadian loan. The principal issue today was one of S20,000,000 in 5 per cent convertible debentures for the Gillette Safety Razor Co. which plans to retire its bank indebtedness with the proceeds.
 Bolivian 7s of 1858 advanced sharply on good buying to reach 60, and Brazilian 6 l-2s, Chile Mortgage bank 6 1-2s, Chile Gs. and Rio de Janeiro Ss were among Latin Amer ican issues that gained a point or more. Standard foreign issues were firm, but some medium grade issues moved the other way. Poland Ss re- acted after rallying in yesterdays s session.
 The frming of domestic bonds has been a slow but gradual process this week. Prime bonds while not great ly affected by the liquidation still are selling somewhat below the best levels of the year, and the daily gains have been narrow.

Rebels Claim Victories

Montevideo, Uruguay, Oct. IT H) Brazilian revolutionary quarters today claimed scattering successes for their troops.
 There was little information, how frontier. where, it appears, a series of engagements are proceeding which may determine fate of the rich state of Sac Paulo.
 An official revolutionary com- mique said that the entire eleventh regiment of infantry, which has been operating in the state of Minas Geraes, had surrendered uncondi- tionally to rebel troops, which had kept them in a state of siege.
 Federal attempts to land troops along the Santa Catharina border, both to relieve pressure on the port of Florianapolis, where there is a small federal garrison, and to form the nucleus of an army to operate in the rear of the rebels defending the Parana-Sao Paulo frontier, are con- tinuing, but have proved fruitless.
 Gomez Repulses Force
 Colonel Luis Gomez, with a greatly reinforced contingent, repulsed force which the destroyer Parana sent ashore at Imbituba, small port south of Florianapols This was the second time within the past few days that an attempt had been made to land troops at this point.
 Sixty Snldierc fnrro e{t oI to federal garrisons in the state of Santa Catharina, and their com- manding officer, Captain Mario Car valho, surrendered to revolutionary forces commanded by Colonel Elz- ario Pain Filho, and have been in- corporated into the revolutionary army. They surrendered two ma chine guns and supplies.
 New Rebel Attack Dispatches from Rio De Janeiro said there had been a new rebel at- tack on Itarare, important railway point on the Eao Paulo side of the Parana frontier, in which 200 rebel prisoners had been taken. The min ister of justice in an official com- munique said calm prevailed in the capital and that the positions of government troops on all fronts re- mained unchanged.
 At Porto Alegre, state of Rio Grande Do Sul, revolutionary an- nouncement said Captain Juarez Ta- vora, commanding troops from Per- nambuco and Parahyba, was far across the Sac Francisco river into the state of Sergipe and was moving on the capital, Aracaju. He intended to march on Bahia, after Sergipe was invested by the rebel forces.

Third Pedestrian Struck by
 Auto at Center Last Night
Especial to the Herald)

(opeCldl to the Iieidlo(
 Newington, Oct. 17.-John Katz- ung of Main street was struck last evening at 7:45 o'clock by car owned by Anthony Brodziach of SIP Stanley street, New Britain. MT. Katzung had just left his home to visit a neighbor across the street when the car, being driven at an allegedly fast rate of speed, hit him and carried him several feet. The driver applied the brakes. causing the machine to skid to the left side of the road 66 feet before coming to a stop. according to measure ments of Constable Arthur Olesen who investigated the accident.
 MT. Bodziach was on his way to the Hartford hospital to visit a patient there. MT. Katzung was picked up unconscious. placed in Brodziach's car, and taken to the Hartford hospital, where an exam ination revealed that no bones had been broken, but he suffered cuts and legs. X-rays were to be taken today to ascertain whether there were any internal injuries.
 This was the third serious acci- dent on Main street within a dis tance of 500 feet in which persons had been struck by cars. Residents are highly incensed over the alleged lack of interest by the town au- thorities in not having the street posted in order to curb the speed ing of cars. Children going to school are in continual danger as there are TO sidewalks in the center of the town, it is claimed.

Secondary Liquidation, Resumed
 In Market, Forces Prices Down;
 Trading Moves In Narrow Range
Losses of 1 to 5 Points Are Numerous-Some Break Into New Low Ground All of Declines Blamed to Mopping Up Process.

New York, Oct. IT P>--The pro- longed process of mopping up the trickles of secondary liquidation was resumed in today's stock market where it was left off yesterday and share prices continued to work lower in a placid market.
 After such a violent selling move ment as that of last week is checked by technical rally, the recovery is frequently lost as hangover liquida- tion is disposed of some days later. so the action of the market was not regarded as surprising.
 Small Losses Numerous
 Losses of 1 to 5 points were numerous. but trading held close to the narrow limits of yesterday. A few shares broke into new low ground, including General Electric, United Gas Improvement, American Water Works. Union Pacific, New York Central and Colorado Fuel, the last named influenced by unfavorablc earnings estimates. U. s. Steel, Du- pont and Air Reduction declined about points, and North American, Eastman. Westinghouse, and Johns Manville, about to 5. Atchison dropped nearly ', and Allied Chem ical nearly 2. Utilities and Rails were particularly heavy.
 Business news was mixed, and in the main not of character to bol- ster stocks. The weekly federal re- serve reports were interpreted fav- orably, however, particularly the S10,000, 900 increase in circulation, making gain of more than ESQ., 000000 in the past three weeks, which is accepted as a sign of in- creasing demands of trade. The de- cline of s153, 100000 in brokers loans was no larger than expected, and Wall street was more anxious to see the condition statement of member banks, to be issued next week, to learn if liquidation of bank loans against security collateral had again exceeded the drop in brokers loans. Monetary conditions were practically unchanged, with call loans holding officially at ? per cent
 Further Decline Buying
 Brokers reported further invest ment buying of stocks on declines. One estimate placed institutional buying at s50,ooO,0OO and s60,000- 900 in the past 10 days. Investment trusts and others. however, were in- clined to move cautiously, pending the further testing of recent price levels.
 While the greater caution shown by the bears has been widely re- garded as stabilizing influence. some brokers pointed out that the scarcity of stocks for loaning pur- poses seemed to be more artificial than real and the annalist prelimi- September, adjusted for seasonal in fluences, were announced at new lows for the. current depression, and such exhibits tend to hold investment buying in check, although they rep resent water under the mill.
 Fresh declines in crude oil and gasoline prices, and copper produc- ton figures showing slight in crease in September were further in dications of the difficulties of indus tries troubled with er-production, although normal consumption of the copper might quickly bring that in- dustry into balance.
