Turning the Tide

! am told floor members repre-
senting the leading bankers were
In there yesterday, bidding
openly for stocks. This threw q
scare into the shorts and sent
them running to cover.
There has been the finest type
of buying in the market on q
scale down in the last few days
One broker described it as the
best he has seen since the break
. last year.
yet in great many cases this
buying was as much forced by
the seriousness of the situation
and the danger of a wide-open
break as that stocks were cheap
A good deal Of this stock will
undoubtedly come out at higher
prices to place the purchasers in
q position to support the market
on q further reaction. All in all
the average investor can afford
to be cautious at this time.
Action of the saving banks In
reducing interest rates from AZ
to 4 per cent and putting a limit
on deposits should be helpful to
securities markets. A good deal
of cash must seek employment
as a result. Some will undoubS'
edly 60 into bonds, but the more
courageous will probably enter
the market and buy sound stocks
with good yields, thus creating q
new investment in the market.

az tha AssocIated press.


PARIS, July 2.-Balked by
poison which did not kill. Midshipman
Francis H. Worthington, 10, of Grover,
Colo, chose soldiers weapon, his gun,
with which to die.
Turning 1t upon himself he inflicted
wounds Monday which yesterday re-
suited In his death at hospital here.
After French legal formalities are COM

of his relief that life no longer was
worth living, and that he was haunted
by the idea that his mind was likely to
give way.
The diary told of taking poison and
then recorded his annoyance as the
poison failed to work. Meanwhile, he
gulped cognac to bolster his spirits. He
became unconscious and upon awaken

HOOVER'S SUMMER
PLANS INDEFINITE
Unable to Arrange Trip
Through Parks in West
Till Congress Quits.

President Hoover's contemplated swing
through the Western National parks late
this Summer is at present in an I'M
certain and indefinite state. He was
represented today as still being hopeful
of making such a trip. probably during
the month OF August. but no decision is
going to be reached until the adjourn
ment of Congress is an established fact.
I'm the meantime the President is head
over heels in work and giving strict at
tention to legislative matters. However.
he has instructed those assistants who
attend to such things to 60 ahead and
make tentative plans for the trip West.
Hopes TO Visit West Indies.
The President Is known to be DESTROYS
also of making a trip to the West In
dies for the purpose of visiting Cuba,
Porto Rica and the Virgin Islands. and
to Mexico. but this is even more indefi~
mite at this time that the vacation trip
to the National parks. Mr.. Hoover gave
Dwight w. Morrow, Ambassador to
Mexico. the impression that he would
go to Mexico this Fall, when the SUBJ
ject was discussed by them during MIR.
Morrows visit to the White House last
week.
Mr.. Morrow is known to have urged
the President to make his goodwill
he gives up his ambassadoriol post
there about the middle Of September.
More than this, President Hoover is UNI
derstood to have given President Ortiz
Rubio of Mexico the impression that
he would soon pay visit to that re-
public. During Mr.. Hoover's goodwill
tour of Latin America, following his
election in 1928, he found it necessary
to abondon that part of his original
itinerary which included a visit to
Mexico City and Cuba.
Mexican Trip Deemed InadvIsabIe.
Friends and associates of the Presi-
dent, however, have advised against the
Mexican trip for the present, principal
ly upon the grounds that q visit in
the early Fall would be unreasonable
and therefore would not be as pleasant
as one later in the year.
II the President does 90 West, it Is
thought doubtful If he visits his home
at Palo Alto, Calf, or even If he in
cludes the Yosemite Park, in California,
in his vacation itinerary. 1t is also
limited that he would not go within
the borders of Colorado, because of
Republican factional troubles in that
State.

The increase Of tariffs on automobiles
by Italy attracted Government atten-
ton today, but official quarters re-
Trained from any comment.
No notification had been received
from the italian government at the
State Department.
The last communication from Italy
on tariff matters was received last April,
protesting the tariff proposed in Con-
gress at that time on some Italian
products.
The reactions to the Smoot- Hawley
law abroad are being watched on Capt.
toll Hill as well as elsewhere. Senator
Vandenberg of Michigan said today:
THE so-called retaliation moves abroad
might easily have two detectives"
While there might be an element
OF retaliation in the Italian decree" he
added, nevertheless the opportunity to
force American manufacturers to estab-
lish branch plants abroad in line with
their policy Of the past two years seems
to me very alluring"
Vandenberg said both Henry Ford and
General Motors have branch plants in
Trieste and the increase might easily
be part Of campaign to force Amer
lean manufacturers now engaged in ex-
patriating capital TO extend their oper-
atoms there and benefit foreign labor. -

ing today that the conferees would not
undertake to discuss the question of the
Federal contribution, which is the most
controversial feature of the bill and the
one on which the conference came to
deadlock several weeks ago.
The conference today was arranged
for the purpose of attempting to reach
an agreement on more than 100 other
amendments in the bill, which up to
this time had been sidetracked while
the conferees were making vain efforts
to settle their differences over the
amount Of the Federal contribution.
Bingham and Simmons Confer.
Late yesterday afternoon, after the
Senate Appropriations Committee had
voted to stand firm in its fight for an
increase in the 100000 contribution
by substituting the regular appropria-
ton bill for the continuing resolution
sent over from the House, Representa-
tive Simmons of Nebraska and Senator
Bingham conferred and arranged for
the new meeting of the conferees this
morning.
Their thought in taking this step
was TO try TO settle all other amend
ments in the bill so that if an agree
ment should be reached later on the
main item of the lump sum there would
be no time lost in rushing the bill
through to final enactment.
Many Amendments Concern Salaries.
Although there we're more than 100
amendments to be discussed this morn
ing, aside from the lump sum, more
than so OF these amendments are sal
airy increases scattered through the bill
For practical purposes, these so salary
amendments may be regarded as one
question, because the probabilities are
that they will all 60 in ore stay out
Of the bill en- bloc.
Many OF the other amendments are
| OF such nature that they probably
! can be adjusted without difficulty, but
| there are dozen or more points of
| difference that are expected to re-
Qulre some discussion in reaching a
| settlement
Among these are: Continuing devel-
opnent of the Municipal Center, for
which the House voted SO 600 600 and
the Senate $1,000 900; proposed in
| creaSes in water rates, on which both
| houses adopted different schedules. the
| question of whether the present mum.
Der OF teachers should be kept in the
| kindergartens or some of them trans
| ferred to the grade schools; the question
/ OF whether the Monroe street viaduct
/ in Brookland should be widened and
/ also whether a subway should be built

/ crossing.
| All District government activities
were continued today as usual the
/ workers relying on Congress to do
something about giving them their pay
