Raid By Bears Sends All
Stocks Tumbling Many
Points.
NEW LOWS REACHED
Slight Recovery Is Noted
Toward Close OF Turbu-
lent Trading.

NEW YORK, Sept. 24. U.P)-A
welltimed bear raid took the stock
market una aware today, shooting
prices down to II point. but to-
wald the close some rallying was
noted and fair portion of the losses
were recovered.
L. s. Steel led the recovery; spe-
cial issues were the vulnerable spots
on the decline. Trading during the
break was the heaviest since Aug
ust s.
In the case of [. 5. Steel, the rally
was Of substantial proportions,
amounting to nearly 3 points. Al
one time the stock sold at 1854, off
/ Is. 1t crossed l6l just before
the close In the early trading it
touched 163 5-S.
Vanadium rallied 6 points, Gen,
eral Electric a point, Westinghouse
Electric > points, American Can "a
point, Du Pont points. United Air
craft ), Radio |, Air Reductions 5,
and Electric Power and Light 3.
The majority closed lower, however.
Trading was quiet with prices
firm early Out of clear sky
Bears looseG drive against Va
nadium and then spread their acti-
vities to other sections of the list
including air reduction, United Air
craft and other special issues.
Soon the whole market was crash
ing. Trading increased so long
holders threw their stocks overheard
for what they would bring.
Late in the afternoon pressure
lifted for time as the more timid
shorts covered. A rise in grains also
helped the sentiment.
However. in the last half hour of
trading, part of the recovery was
wiped out as the close approached.
The tendency was toward slight ad
vances in many issues.
Before the rally, dozens of issues
had dropped to new lows for the
year and many made new lows for
all time. Copper shares were hard
hit on prospects of a dividend elm
ination in Anaconda tomorrow and
a reduction by some smelters in the
price of copper metal to l0I cents
a pound, a drop of i cent in the
domestic price.
Accompanying the decline in
stocks was a rumor that the Russian
Soviet had turned from selling
grain short to selling stocks, but
this was not given credcnce. In
connection with the rapid recovery
in wheat and other grains, the ru-
NOR was circulated that the Rus
SLAMS were covering their short COM
mittmcnts amounting to around y
100000 bushels.

Russian wheat "bogey'' was dis
credited by American trade author

Cd the condition of the world wheat
market more to Il huge carry over

Recent surveys showed that Rus

IS likely that the Soviets will be
forced to start importing wheat be,

were said to be necessary because

Police files contained a sordid
record OF the scene that took place
IN the president : chamber of the

Yesterday, when President Bvcrs
was shot eight times and killed by
Gray, the first vice president, who
took his own life. But il was in
the 27-ycar background of fcud, rs

drama o. the double shooting lay.
Mrs. GRAY, wife Of the vie" pres

Mrs. Bycrs also collapsed from
shock when newsboy came nawk-
ing the story of the tragedy.
The coroner fetufped an official
verdict of murder and suicide.
Those who worked with them
know B"ers aud Gray were enemies
They seldom spoke except in their
necessary business contacts. They
were known 10 he opposed on mat
tcrs Of po&eY The strained feel
ing between them revealed itself in
directors meetings.
Gray was 81 and had been with

the Western Maryland from the
Great Northern at about the same
time, and had been promoted over

sentative of Byers was in the office
but had finished his business and
was about to leave.
"'Good morning" Gray said to
Byers. and the greeting was re-
turned. Gray sat down at the
table, several feet away from the
president S desk. and began talk
ing. Stringcr left the room, and
started down the corridor.
He had scarcely passed down the
corridor when he heard n Sudden
burst of pistol shots coming from
the direction of the office. H ran

Several persons in the antcroom.

Gray and Bycrs rising to high (.
