BONDS ARE HIGHER
ON BRISK BUYING
Rails, Utilities and Foreign
Dollar Credits Prominent
in Trading.
BY F. H. RICHARDSON.
Special pispatch Dol INC star.


NEW YORK, September Bond
prices worked up to another new high
level for the year today under a good
volume of investment buying
After forcing prime bonds to still
better levels and to a point where
yields have been shaved to a scarcity
basis, the buying broadened out all
through the list of everything rail secur-
tiles, semi-speculative industrials, sec
ond-grade public utilities and some of
the high-yield foreign dollar credits.
The money situation was unchanged.
At the opening the feature was the
heavy buying Of New York City trac-
ton issues, which accounted for gains
OF from / to 3 points in marlborough
Refunding SIS. Third Avenue Adjust
ment SIS and Manhattan Railway Is.
Brooklyn Manhattan Transit IS touch
ed par, or new peak for the year
The street heard reports that the
Interborough and Brooklyn Manhattan
Transit Finance Committees had reach
ed a basis of mutual agreement with
the city and that for the first time the
probability Of achieving a unified trac-
ton system under the city's control is
seen.
In the industrials Chile Copper SIS
we're heavy and so were Anglo Chilean
Nitrate Is, but there were compensating
advances In bonds like National Dairy
Products 5l4s, Goodyear SIS, United
States Rubber IS and Richfield Oil IS
Foreign credits were inclined to be
sluggish, though the broad investment
demand accounted for small gains in
Lyons IS, scissors IS, Norway SIS, ia
panese 5l2s and Toxic IS. South
Americans were quiet and inclined to
dip slightly after their strength of
Wednesday. though Argentine IS were
a shade better. German and Central
European credits were dun.
There was evident in the legal rail
section searching for issues, inactive
and just slightly less desirable than the
old seasoned favorities such as Atchison
general As and Union Pacific first As.
AS result Long Island Railroad re-
funding As were marked up a point and
Delaware g. Hudson refunding As were
up "a point. In the utilities the same
tendency was evident, after Duquesne
Light 41as, Philadelphia Co. IS and
Utilities Power & Light 512s had been
again pushed to new peaks.
Junior rails were actively bought and
some of them, such as International
Railways of Central America SIS, showed
wide advances over last weeks levels.
The bond just named sold at a 10
point advance over its price a week ago.
There were gains in st. Paul SIS, Den
yer & Rio Grande Western IS, Erie
general lien As and Erie IS.

KILLED THREE
GETS SENTENCE:

LOS ANGELES, May 5. U.D-
Thomas Bell, who pleaded guilty to
two charges of manslaughtcr and
one of drunk driving was sentenced
today to spend from two to 20 years
in San Quentin pcnitentiary.
In passing sentence today, Super
ior Judge William Aggeler ordered
Bell to serve one to 10 years on
each count of manslaughtcr the
sentences to run consecutively. He
also sentenced him to from one to
three years for drunk driving but
ruled that this sentence was to run
concurrcntly with the others.
Bells act of driving his automo-
bile through passenger safety
zone really caused the death of
three people although the formal
complaint accused him of killing
only two, Judson Bailey, 60, and
Alvis Kuebler, 50. The complaint
was not amended to include the
name of Mrs. Ira Hamilton, of Col
orado, who died of her injuries after
it was issued.

RIOTlNC AGAIN
BREAKS OUT IN
CITY OF MADRID

MADRID, May 5. W.P-Student
rioting at Madrid university was
renewed today when anti-monarchist
demonstrators clashed with police.
One student was killed and num-
her of others seriously injured in
the fighting.
The university students went on
strike on Saturday and continued
their defiance of authorities today
after riotous demonstrations owe r
the week end.
The outbreak was the most serious
since the termination of the dicta-
torship of the late General Primo De
Rivera.
The disorders began when the stu
dents took possession of their build
ing at Atocha street, throwing rocks,
hoisting the red flag on lamp pole
and uprooting the poles. Police fired
and chased the students back into
their builning.
At conference of Premier Da-
masco Berenguer with the minister
of interior and education and the
director of public safety, it was
agreed that drastic measures must
be taken to prevent repetition of
the disorders.

- A tiny, one-passenger airplane.

ing machine within range of the
average mans pocketbook, made a

ris, 2S, of Waverly, Iowa, at the
controls, circled the airport for Is
minutes. 1t attained an altitude of
1000 feet and landed at less than

RECOVERY OF
CRASH VICTIM
IS EXPECTED
William Livingston Badly
Injured In Accident On
San Diego Road

Taking to the ditch when he saw
that crash between two other cars
on the San Diego highway about
two and half miles west of Ell
Centre at HIS O'Clock yesterday
morning, could hardly be averted,
almost proved fatal to w. r. Living
StOn, well-known contractor of this
city living at 1860 Euclid avenue,
when one Of the cars swerved off
the highway and crashed headon
into the side of the Livingston car,
crushing it and seriously injuring
its three occupants.
With Livingston in the Stude-
baker roadster at the time were his
wife, Hazel Livingston, chief clerk
at the district attorneys office and
her daughter, Meryal Meadows. All
were taken to the Ell Centre hospi-
tai by Sheriff c. l.. Gillette who
arrived on the scene shortly after
the accident. At the hospital it was
discovered that Livingston was suf
fering from a bad fracture of the
skull; Mrs. Livingston was cut and
badly bruised, while Miss Meadows
had large piece of her scalp torn
from her head. The two women were
removed to their home last night
where they will irest for the next
few days recovering from their in
juries and the shock of the acci-
dent.
When the nature of Livingston 5
injuries was noted by his friends,
q telephone message was sent at
once to DR.. Wilburn Smith, a Los
Angeles brain specialist, asking him
to come to E lCentro at once. Eff
forts were made to charter a plane
for the surgeon to make the trip, but
this being impossible he came by
train, arriving this morning. The
operation was performed this morn
ing and according to the latest word
from the hospital, was complete
success.
1t was found that while the brain
was bruised, there was no punctures
or blood clots visible. A small piece
CT bone which had been lying on
the brain was removed and hospital
officials announce that the patient
has every chance in the world for
"A complete recovery. Livingston
must remain absolutely quiet for at
least three months and for the time
being at least is to have no visitors
according to the physicians IS edict
Anyone wishing news Of his condi
ton from day to day, is requested
