Clarendon's BlVe Law
ViOlatOr Gives Thanks
80 the Editor of The star:

To the Editor OF The Star:
wish to express, through the col
umns Of your paper, my appreciation to
many friends and sympathizers in
Washington and Virginia for their CO.
operation and moral support in the
matter Of my prosecution for the
crime" Of painting my house in Clar-
endon on Sunday.
It is6but simple justice to make spe-
cial mention Of the National ASsocia-
ton Opposed to Blue Laws, which i'm
mediately assigned three attorneys
MesSrs. McCaffrey, McGinnis and
Wallace-to my defense, and whose Sec
Rotary has handled o mass of corre-
spondence relating to it.
have derived q great deal of en-
couragement from the response of the
public, which has shown that q decided
majority Of the people is emphatically
against blue laws and emphatically in
favor Of non-interference In the manner
OF observing Cor -observing) Sun
day. Liberality Is plainly on the in
crease, In spite of the fact that a few
bigots and meddlers remain to vex us.
1t should be borne in mind that NV
appeal from the conviction of violating
Virgtnia's indigo statute Is soon to be
heard by the Circuit Court. Your paper
has already announced the fact that
Clarence barrow, chief counsel for the
N. A. o. B. L., has written the associa-
ton that he will take charge of nv
appeal If 1t is deemed advisable. NV
odense CD may not have been a grave
one, and my case may not be so inn
portant in itself, but the principle of
religious liberty is at stake. There are
many Virginians who find it necessary.
as did, to take care of work at their
homes on Sunday, and who will agree
that my case applies to so many citi-
zens that it could reasonably serve as
an appropriate test case to determine
whether liberal Sunday regulations are
to prevail in the State that was the
home Of libertarians like Thomas JET
ferson and Patrick Henry.
Washington should take particular
interest in my case for another reason
than that Of the proximity of Claren-
don-the reason being that efforts have
been made for years to exact a blue law
for the District My experience shows
what Washington people would find
confronting them II Sunday closing
statute were enacted for their benefit.
Observing what happened to me, they
can draw their own conclusions as to
whether they would like O law in the
National Capital enforcing a hard
boiled Sabbath.

Reed Still a Factor.
ON the Kansas City Times

From the Kansas City Times.
1t was q great personal tribute TO ex-
Senator James A. Reed that after he
had been out Of once more than a year
thousands Of members Of his party from
every part of the State should gather
at Sedalia to hear him speak. There
probably Is no ether Democrat In ONCE
or out who could have attracted a coma
parable crowd-ceftainiy s.S4 e. .nvee
previous standard bearers of the party
in national elections: not James M. Cox,
not John w. Davis, not even the popu-
lar Al Smith
They flocked TO hear Reed because Of
his long service as q fighting leader of
his party, not merely for Missouri but
for the Nation. They knew that he
had lost none of his old fighting spirit,
and they came out to hear a denuncia-
ton Of the Republican administration
that would satisfy their emotions.
His address was in the best Reed
Style-eloquent earnest, extreme and
OF biting severity. No one would 20 20
hear him expecting q fair summary of
the work OF President Hoover. 1t was
frankly a partisan attack. The star
disagrees with many of his contentious,
but the Sedalia meeting established the
fact that the former Senator Is still Q
powerful factor In Democratic politics
factor TO be reckoned with nationally.

The Great Consideration.
A statesman looked me in the eye,
And said, II may be wrong,
But wherefore should I pause to sigh;
The golf Is going strong!
Uncertainties the world may show
In government and trade,
But this Is surely good to know
Golf IL still being played;
80 why should intellect despair
In any neighborhood,
When we discover everywhere
That golf is pretty good!"

RECORD DATE FIXES
RIGHTS ON VOTING
Minnesota Court Rules in Case
Similar to Steel Merger
Dispute.

The Supreme Court Of the State of
Minnesota has recently handed down
Q decision In the case of Dennistoun ".
Davis, which is particularly interesting
In that it involves questions similar to
those raised in the recent Bethlehem
youngstown merger dispute, involving
the right of persons who are record
holders, but who had sold their shares
prior to the meeting to vote against the
objection Of the purchasers Of the shares
In question.
The case also covers a second ques-
ton involved in the Bethlehem oungs-
town merger dispute. namely, the right
Of purchasers Of stock subsequent to the
record date to vote proxies which they
have obtained from the holder Of record.
The court discussed the general right
to vote Of record holder who has sold
his shares. It was decided that under
the Minnesota statutes stakeholder"
who has sold his shares is not entitled
to vote even though he remain a record
holder.

otalS Of youngstown Sheet q Tube Co.
said today that their action in suspend
ing from transfer all stocks whose hold
ers demanded cash in connection with
the companys pending merger with
Bethlehem Steel Corporation will mean
that such stock is prohibited from vot-
ing and from drawing dividends.
Observers saw two possibilities If this
statement holds good. One Is that at a
meeting of directors called for Mon
day directors representing the Cyrus s.
Eaton interests may be ousted. Eaton
IL leader of the Anti-merger forces.
At q recent directors meeting four
members. including Eaton himself, were
elected to represent his interests.
The other question is the ability or
willingness Of merger opponents to con-
tnue q long legal battle while millions
Of dollars worth of their stock was
drawing no income from dividends.

CURB SHARES DROP
IN SALE BARRAGE
Record Saturday Session for
Year Witnesses General
Slash in Values.
BY JOHN L. COOLEY,
Associated Press Financial Writer.


NEW YORK, May 3.-Enormous
liquidation Of curb stocks carried prices
Of leading issues down 2 to 10 points
in a stormy two-hour trading session
today. Sales aggregated 1,537,1o
shares. the largest of the year, and
the heavy volume had pushed the
ticker AZ minutes behind the market
ct the close.
The pressure was insistent from the
opening gong, when several large blocks
were offered at sharp concessions from
yesterdays closing prices. Bear traders
pursued their advantage as resistance
proved weak and continued to pound
away, especially at the utilities. Gov
ering operations toward the close were
Of slight consequence.
Electric Bond & Share, opening with
o 16,900-share block at 1925, of
9M; slumped with few attempts at a
rally and closed at 957s, off 93s on
the day. Cities Service was another
target for the short interest. The
initial transaction was block of
20 200 shares at Sta, nearly q point
lower, but the decline from the open
ing level was steady and a final drive
in the last quarter hour hammered the
price down to 3011, g. net loss Of 712
points.
American Superpower and Niagara
Hudson Power displayed moderate re-
sistance In the earlier dealings, but
likewise succumbed to the final raid,
falling "a and IA. respectively. Amer
tcan Gas & Electric lost S, Middle West
Utilities, 33s; United Light & Power A,
az, and United Gas, 3ls. United Pow
er g. Light was firmer, yielding only
half q point net.
Oils and industrials were heavy. In
vestment trust stocks were sold in
large volume as traders sought funds
for impaired margin accounts on this
market, as we'll as on the big board.
Goldman Sachs Trading and United
Founders broke to points, the latter
making q new 1890 low.
