Special Dispatch 70 The Star.
NEW YORK, January 3.-WalI Street
expects another bull market-sometime
After the experience of 1929 and 1880
even the boldest of speculative optimists
Is hesitant In fixing the date for the
upward movement IN stocks. 1t seems
to be generally agreed that recovery
when It comes will be gradual. subject
to interruptions and lacking the spec
tacular features which marked the se-
clIr1ty imitation that eliminated In the
Autumn Of 1929.
Meanwhile, however, there Is animated
discussion as TO the group or groups
which win be the leaders when the turn
comes. For the moment Il Is the motor
stocks that are IN the greatest favor.
Partly that Is because this is the be-
ginning Of the show season, and, as
Spring approaches, expansion Of motor
sales Is the normal development. But
that is not all.
Auto Shares Llquidated.
It Is acknowledged that the automo-
bile shares have been thoroughly lqui-
dated. They were not prominent in the
last stages Of the speculative mania a
year ago and now, with most Of the
units In the industry In the strongest
Of financial positions with
their shares selling In the open market
tor net assets, allowing nothing for
property values-and with the executive
heads Of the trade expressing confidence
h striking contrast TO the attitude OF
the railroad presidents, 1t Is not sur
prising that traders look with favor on
motor stocks
The situation with regard TO the utili-
ties Is quite different. The utilities
were scandalously ovesbulled during the
long market advance. They sold 20, 30,
80 and more times earnings per share.
No price was too high to pay in those
days, but now sentiment has gone 10
the other extreme and one can md few
TO recommend the light and power
stocks for the first place on the pre-
dicted recovery. This attitude is illogi-
cal. insofar as It Is q fact that no trade

SHUTDOWN OF KANSAS
OIL WELLS Is STARTED
By the Associated Press.

CHANUTE, Kans., January 3.-Ac-
tual shutting down Of 1900 oil wells in
the. local field began today as a result
of the Prairie Oil & Gas Co.'s decision
to cease purchasing crude because of an
oversupply IN its tanks and curtailed
market.
Operators estimated the shutdown
would be complete by the time small
service tanks on some leases are filled.
AS the wells were shut down. lease
workers were discharged.
Salt water will begin to seep into the
elder wells as soon as pumping stops,
operators say, soon rendering them
Valueless.
Unless Q market Is found operators
Vay every well viii be closed down IN two
weeks.

ORPHANS TAKEN
IN CAR THEFT

Two orphans, one II and the
other Is, today fell into the
hands of Washington police on
charges Of taking an automobile
without authorization.
John Bona, II, and his brother,
William, Is, were arrested in Bal
timore last night and returned
here after they had taken the
automobile belonging to Milton
315 Seventh st. N. W.,
Tuesday night.
Held on Probation
John was arraigned before
Judge Isaac R. Hit in Police
Court, and placed on probation
awaiting arrival of an elder
brother from New York, while
William was in the hands of
juvenile authorities.
The youths said they left New
York a week ago in search of
work. They rode busses to Balti-
more, Washington and Richmond,
where their funds became ex-
hausted. Hungry mad tired, they
decided they would give up the
search and return to New York.
Drove to Baltimore
Arriving in Washington they
took the automobile and drove to
Baltimore. They intended to
hitch-hike the rest of the way.
John told Judge Hit:
81 have nothing to say, only
/ was hungry and l had to get
back to New York. I didn't
have any money, so we took the
machine"
His mother died IL years ago
and his father eight years later.

Cleaner Makes Error
Calls on Detective,
Lands In Cell

Calling at the home Of
Detective Sergeant B. C. Kuehl-
ing, II R st. N. E., proved
disastrous to a colored man
who styled himself as a clean
ing firm agent.
Sergeant Kuehling happened
at the time to remember that
a number of complaints had
been made by housewives, who
said that a colored man had
called in them and said he
had been sent for their hus-
bands clothes for cleaning.
He arrested his visitor and
took him to headquarters, where
he gave a fictitious name.
However, William Enyeart,
fingerprint expert for the de-
partment, identified him as
James Mobley, arrested in 1924
for clothing thefts.

VETERAN JAILED.
To WAIT BONUS

Judge Ralph Given today made
an arrangement with Edward
Markham, world war veteran, so
the latter would get out of Jail
in time to get his bonus.
Maxham was arraigned in Po-
lice Court on a charge of intoxi-
cation. He told the judge he
had made application for his
bonus several days ago and eX-
pected to get it within five days.
Judge Given said:
81 will fix it SO you can
sober up in those five days and
get out on the day you are sup
posed to get your money. The
proper thing to do then will
be to send the money home
before you get drunk again."
Markham promised the judge
he would do as requested and
was sentenced to five days in
jail.
Three other veterans were
fined on similar charges in court
today.

HEARD
Of CHANCE IN
CONTROL
P. U. C. Orders Corporation
Counsel to Act; Bond Issue
Also to Be Investigated

Despite conflicting reports con-
cerning management of the local
gas companies, Corporation oun-
sci William w. Bride and his
assistant, William A. Roberts,
plan to conduct an intensive in
vestigation into the tangle over
the operation of the companies.
Chicago Story Denied
Reports from Chicago that the
Central Public Service Corpora
ton had taken over management
of the Washington Gas Light
Company, the Georgetown Gas
Light Company, the Alexandria
Gas Company and the New York
and Richmond Gas Company
have been vigorously denied.
Mr.. Bride, who has been named
by the Public Utilities Commits
sion to investigate the matter,
said today he will use every avail
able means to solve the current
question of who operates the
companies.
Bankers Bought Control
A group Of bankers bought con-
troll of the local companies two
years ago. The control was vested
in a holding corporation known
as the Seaboard Investment Trust.
A few days ago, the name of this
corporation was changed to the
Washington and Suburban Com,
panies and on the heels of the
announcement came the reports
from Chicago concerning a
change in management of the
companies.
The banking group that formed
the SeabOard Investment Trust
Company has been identified with
the Central Public Service Cor
poration in other financial deals.
The corporation counsels office
will also inquire into the renam
ing of the holding company and
the $6,500,000 bond issue floated
by the newly-named corporation

CLAX|TY
CHARGED IN
REPORT
Citizens Group Lays Local
Driving Ills to Indifferent
Enforcement of Ordinances

A report on traffic conditions
in Washington, compiled after a
two-week study, has been placed
in the hands Of District Commis-
sioner Herbert B. Crosby by a
committee from the Federation Of
Citizens's Associations, it was
learned today.
The report, which was made up
by the group headed by DIR.
George C. Havenner, president Of
the federation, cites n0n-enfOrce-
ment of present traffic reguIa-
tions as the greatest contributing
factor to the bad conditions which
are declared to exist here.
Irregularity Cited
Among alleged enforcement
failures is an incident involving
an automobile runnig with i'm
proper lights. The car was OBJ
served by a patrolma, the report
says, but he made no move to
stop the machine. Asked why he
did not act in the matter, he is
declared to have said:
"That is the traffic mans
job"
The citizens report favors the
present regulation banning cabs
from F. and g Streets northwest
during the rush hours.
Police to Scan Report
Disregard for traffic signals is
cited as one of the most danger.
GUS practices of motorists here,
and violation of parking regula.
tions is also cited. The report
especially stresses the practice of
some motorists of parking so as
to block the approach to fire,
plugs and cites the danger of
such practices.
Inspector E. w. Brown, of the
Traffic Bureau, did not comment
on the report, but said that a
meeting of police precinct cap.
tains will be held tomorrow, at
which time traffic conditions will
be discussed.
