MARKET MARKS

By w. s. COUSINS

NEv YORK, May II 1NSJ.
Lacking incentive to move very
far in either direction, the stock
market marked time in the dull
and featureleSS weekend session.
Stock sales in the first half-hou:
totalled only 223.000 shares. d
mere handful as compared with
the Saturday sessions Of March
and April.
The weekend business reviews
of BradStreet's, Dun's Review and
the leading banking houses noted
the slow pace of the business re-
covery, though pointing out that
the trend of leading industries is
upward. Meanwhile the stock
market has fallen into rut,
from which it can be extricated
only by a decisive buying or
selling movement.
The bulk of the industrial
stocks and specialties drifted off
to low-price levels in the second
hour, behind one of the Slowest
and dullest trading periods that
has been witnessed on the big
board since the break in Novem-

700 MD. MINERS
|NWALKOUT

LONACONING, Md, May IT,
The walkout of 200 men en-
ployed at the Sonny mine of
Georges Creek Mining Company,
Monday, resulted in other mine
employees taking similar action.
Now about 700 men are idle.
Castle mine, of this place,
Pekin mine and the mines OF
Barton are affected. The mines
are controlled by the A. <. Alt
mouse Company, of Philadelphia.
The Sonny mine men said
action of the company in declar-
ing new scale by which they
would be paid 56 cents for long
ton of 2,240 pounds, the same
they had been receiving for load
ing a short ton of 1000 pounds,
was unjust.
The men claim they are unable
to make a living at the scale and
under the conditions in force at
the various AIthouse operations.
The miners have drawn up q
tentative scale to be presented
to John L. Casey, of Frostburg.
former State mining inspector,
now superintendent of the Alt
house operations in this section,
which calls for IS cents a ton,
S4 a day for drivers, trackmen
and inside laborers and from
$500 to $3.50 for outside labor.

RAIL BUDGET UP
96 MILLIONS

CHICAGO. May 17.-American
railroads co-operated with Presi-
dent Hoover's request for the
maintenance of employment by
spending $96,653,OOO more for
new equipment and other better
ments the first three months of
1880 than they did the same
period in 1929.
This encouraging fact was
brought out at a meeting here
yesterday of the Association of
Railway Executives in a report
submitted by the bureau of rail
way economics.
Railroads of this country made
capital expenditures of $223,772,-
900 for these purposes during
the first three months of the
year. This not only surpassed
last year by approximately IS per
cent. but exceeded the first three
months of 1928 by $95,344OOO.
The expenditures actually made
even exceed by $11.772,OOO the
estimate submitted by the rail-
ways at the conference of in
duStrial leaders held in Wash
ington last December in an eff
fort to carry out the Presidents
views on means to promote the
prosperity of the nation.
New equipment for the first
three months of this year cost
89,070,000 in comparison with
$37 7,642,000 for the same period
in 1929. Roadway and structure
expenditures were $134,702,0 900 as
against $50, 900.
The only decline in purchases
shown by the report is in pas
senger cars.

and Imperial rauchcr, was murdered
by person, or persons, unknown
was the verdict this morning of the
coroncr's jury which conducted an
inquest over the rancher 5 death. He
succumbed at the city hospital last
Wednesday afternoon from the cf-
fects of beating after being found
in an unconscious condition at hl,
ranch at lIcbcr. The man was well
known in this county, where he has
been a ranchcr for man years.
t.ufanio Perez, CX- Mexican soldier
and partner Of F0nscca in the ranch
near IIcbcr, is being sought by Po-
lice as the murderer. He is believed
to have robbed his victim Of 5000
IN cash and escaped into Mexico at
Mcxicali. before the unconscious
body Of Fonseca was discovered ly-
ing in the ward near his home.
Physicians making an examination
of the body declared the man had
been beaten with a blunt instrument
and that death WAS caused by a de
pressed fracture of the skull.
The dcccasc's father, Angel Fon-
SEGA, is the only survivor. The fun
cral is expected to be held tomorrow

WISCONSIN TOWN
THREATENED BY
SEVERE BLAZE

OCONTO, Wis. Aug. - U.R-
The entire population of Oconto
rallied today to fight a forest fire
that threatened to ovcrwhclm the
city.
Men. women and children beat
back the flames that reached the
outskirts of the town with brooms,
spades, plows or any fire weapons
they could lay their hands on has
tily.
A northwest wind aided them in
stemming the blaze but it appeared
to be gaining headway.
The fires which menace the town
broke out again today, after they
apparently had been subducd by
Fire Chief Harris, his crew and more
than 100 men, women and children
yesterday.
Pine roots, smouldcring under
ground. flared up, threatening de
struction to the entire ncighborhood
of frame buildings.
The inhabitants, fearing shift
in the wind, fought desperately to
save their homes.
Oconto is town Of about 5000
persons on Green Bay in the heart
Of the numbering country.
Meanwhile, another unchecked
fire ragged southwest Of Oconto and
headed toward Pcnsaukee and
Brookside. Fifty men, powcrless to
stop the tide of flames, stood guard
