NEW YORK, May 2.-The alb

after only a day and a half of
rising prices once more throws
into confusion the near-term
prospects of the market. Unques.

decline was a particularly unset.

In the space of an hour prices
receded back almost to their

greater portion of the gains
chalked up in the full session on
Thursday.
Steel DethFOned
This again brings up for de-
ciphering the relative position of
U. S. Steel as compared with the
market as a whole. With the
prospect of a dubious earnings
outlook for the remainder of the
year there is no reason why this
stock should continue to occupy
its former role of pace-setter fer
the entire list, either on the up
or downside.
The steel industry has bean

Electrical Survey
Accol ding to a survey COM
pleted by the National Electric
Light Association. revenues re-
ceived by the electric light and
power industry have been Ge"lins
ing steadily since 1922. IL that
year, electric light and power en-
terprises received 21.3 cents from
the consuming public for each dol
lar invested in plant and equip
ment.
In 1926, this had dropped to
1875 cents, and in 1929 to 17.6
cents. This is largely the result
y of increasing costs of facilities for
reaching the consumer in the less
densely settled regions.

q life sentence in the Washing
ton State prison.
In pronouncing the sentence
as an aftermath of a jury yer
dict finding the boy guilty Of
first degree murder. the Judge
said:
"He must be kept apart from
adult prisoners as provided by
law"
Just before entering the court.
room, Herbert said good-by to his
grandmother, Mrs. Mary Adding
ton, with whom he was living at
the time he shot Wormell. He
promised:
'I1l be a good boy. hope
you will come to see me as
often as You can. It's going to
be lonesome, they tell me, be-
cause there are no other little
boys there.
He also sent his love to his

White.
Father in Asylum
His father is now held in an
insane asylum at Orofino, Idaho,
for killing a woman at Star,
Idaho.
The dark-eyed youth, who
weighs but 20 pounds, will be the
youngest person ever to enter
Walla Walla Penitentiary as a
prisoner.
The jury reached it's verdict on
the first ballot, but spent three
hours in determining what, in
their minds, would be best for the
lad and his future.
AnS3nlC1 Plea REJECTED
They rejected the insanity plea
presented for him, which like the
first degree murder verdict, would
have meant life imprisonment.
The verdict reached, the jury
announced, appeared to offer the
youthful delinquent the better
ch-nce.
Herbert received the verdict
without concern. He SmiIingly
shook hands with newspapermen
and court attaches. He also sIyly
pOked Prosecutor E. e. Halsey i'm

and then turned t. his grand.
mother to embrace her.
Worried About His Music
While the jury was reaching its
verdict Herbert talked with j. T
Tucker, wealthy Pomeroy (Wash.)
cattleman, whose interests in the
child brought him actively into
the case. He seemed to be recon
ciled to the fact that his days of
liberty were over, but he was par
ticularly anxious to find out il
he would be allowed to study
music.
Herbert reached in his pocket

gave it a few tentative blows be
fore re was admonished to stop
by his grandmother, Mrs. Mary
Addington.
The boy was also interested In
q little tOw.headed girl who fol
lowed him around the courtroom
with wide-eyed interest. Herbert
tried to press upon her a piece Of
gum which was given to him by
O friendly spectator. The girl
however, declined to accept it.
Restive, Herbert, while waiting
for the return Of the jury, asked
to be taken for a walk. AS he
walked out of the door he vaulted
on to a bannister and slid to
the bottom.
