tie letter it was. We wish we
could print it just as it was.
She asks:
"WOuId you please put some
thing in your column to tell
my big sister that there is an
Easter bunny. She says there
isn't"
Well, that's a question, Patsy
Ruth. We, personally, never
saw the Easter Bunny, but we
always get such a nice little
basket on Easter morning
that we'd hate to say that he
didn't exist. You take our
advice and don't pay any atten-
ton to Patsy Anne. Go right
on believing in the bunny.
You'll have more fun than she
will being so wise. Being too
smart does you out of lot of
fun in this world.
And, Patsy Anne, you let the
little girls believe in the bunny
if it makes 'em happy.
And, by the way, how about
a picture of the four of you.
We'd like to see what the little
Patsies look like ourselves, and
we know the club members will
feel the same way about it.
Franklin Fletcher, of Upper
vile, Va, writes us that he be-

thing. He writes nice letter
and we enjoyed hearing from
him very much.
A letter from Tom Ball,
Pittsburgh, says:
'T happened to pick up a
copy of The Washington Times
and the first thing I saw was
the Adventure Club column.
I'd like to join if 1 may?"
Of course we are glad to have
Tom, even if he does live so
far away. And his little draw
ing of Popeye was very clever.
He says:

PROTEST TREASURER'S
FEES IN TAX APPEAL
Allowances to Sexton Assailed by
Marion County Association.

Allowances Of Timothy P. Sexton,
county treasurer, for collection Of
delinquent taxes from non resident
property owners today became the
target of an appeal filed in circuit
court by the Marion County Asso-
citation for Tax Reduction.
The appeal asserts that Sexton is
pocketing 25 per cent Of such coll
lections, in violation of the state
budget law.
Despite a 1927 law empowering
the treasurer to keep one-fourth of
nonresident tax payments, the APP
peal contends the law did not con-
template collection without filing
court suits in other states,
The suit seeks redress from a
claim of $3,73293 already allowed
Sexton by county commissioners.

DECLINE IN RAILS
| UNSETTLES STOCKS
Rally Is Smothered in Re-
neWed Selling of Car
rier Issues.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April l2-Acute weak
ness in the railway shares again un-
settled today's stock market, checking
an incipient rally.
The market looked better at the start,
with covering in those stocks which the
information submitted to the Senate
committee by President Whitney of the
exchange showed had an increasing
short interest Advances of a point or
so were scattered literally throughout
the list and it seemed as If a general
recovery was at hand.
The rally was smothered, however, by
renewed selling of the railway and oil
shares. The weakness in the oils was
a new feature of the present decline.
Up to today, except for Standard Oil
Of California, against which pressure
had been directed for several sessions.
the oils held up in face of the reaction
in other stocks. Today they gave way
as Standard of New Jersey dipped to
the lowest price on record for the pres
ent shares.
Selling under S25 a share, Jersey
Standard today was so per cent lower
than on November 13, 1929. when the
historic bid of so for 100000 shares
was put on the market, supposedly for
the Rockefeller interests. That orGsr
could have been executed today, theo-
retically at least. at a saving of S25,-
100000. Other oils sold off, but not so
emphatically.
Railway shares we're under steady
pressure after the first hour. Atchison
had opened fractionally higher and was
up at one time points net, but then
stock thrown on the market broke the
price to SAL share, the lowest since
1900.
Union Pacific sold off sympathetically
to around $50 a share, and new lows
were made by New York Central.
Southern Pacific, Norfolk & Western
and Atlantic Coast Line. Many Of the
quotations were the lowest in the his
tory of the respective corporations.
This lack of resistance by the rails
had a depressing effect on the indus
trials ana utilities. American Tele-
phone and United States Steel during
the early trading gained considerable
ground, but at midday they were back
to the preceding close. Special weak
ness was displayed by Pacific Lighting
and by Brooklyn Union Gas, the latter
of over points on small volume. Con-
soiidated Gas, after having been up
over point on the day. broke to a new
bear market low, and so on throughout
the list.
