YACHT BAKED BY CUNFIRE AND NO
 REASON GIVEN
Happened on Lake Michi= gan and One Young Woman on Board Was Seriously Wounded

Waukegan, III, July 25.-(UP)- Machine gun fire raked yacht on Lake Michigan late last night, seri- ously wounding young woman and imperilling 19 other persons aboard the vessel.
 Rosa Peterson, 23, was victim of the gunfire. The shots riddled the hull of the craft, threatening to sink 1t before 1t reached port.
 Twenty persons were on board. The craft was cruising slowly about a mile out from shore, five miles north of here. Suddenly Miss Peterson in the forepart of the boat cried out she had been shot.
 The stream of lead pellets lash- ed the water about the yacht. Other guests flung themselves flat on the deck to escape the fire.
 The bullets punctured the hull, spattered through portholes, and riddled the cabin. The water was churned to foam.
 Wellington Quirk. owner of the craft, instantly swung the vessel away from shore. It rapidly drew out of range. In a few minutes, with the boat leaking badly, Quirk headed toward port at full speed.
 Guests set about bailing out water. .Quirk docked with the boat a quarter full of water.
 Police and authorities were un- able to find any possible source of the bullets.
 It was found that Miss Peterson had been struck in both legs. The bullets were removed. Physicians characterized the wounds as seri- ous but not dangerous.

 Again To-day With
 Gamblers Edging In
Rising Tendencies in the Exchange Caused the Pro- fessionals and Amateurs More Than Anxious to Get In

broad front, and there were signs both the professionals and anna teurs were clamering to "get aboard"
 Gains of more than two points were numerous among the main body of stocks; and an upward swing in oils represented a heavy percentage rise on these for their prices are low and a small gain means a large proportional rise.
 Beginning in the petroleum shares, buying tendencies spread to all sections of the list carrying prices in most instances to their best levels in 8 month or more Late in the day, many of the low priced speculative issues in all groups were taken in hand.
 The advance started at the opening and proceeded with little interruption to mid-afternopn where gains of more than 2 points were numerous throughout the main body of stocks.
 The buying appeared to be gain ing momentum as the session pro- gressed, swelling turnover in the early part of the session to around million-share clip. Blocks o1 5000 shares or more on a single sale were fairly numerous, particu. larly among the lower-priced issues.
 Speculative interest in the petro- leum issues was high as many of them approached their best levels of the year ana most responded vigorously to the widespread cir cuiation of bull tips" The Atlan- tic Refining second quarter state ment published recently and the Phillips Petroleum second quarter statement released today, both showing large profits, provided fuel for enthusiasm for the oils, More speculative attraction was furnished by the agreement over the weekend of world petroleum companies to work for stabiiization of the foreign oil market.
 Among the stronger oil issues were Atlantic Refining and Shell Union oil, both of which reached new highs for the year, Standard Oils of New Jersey and California, Socony-V Vacuum and Consolidated. A sale of 12,30O shares of con- solidated took place at mid -after- noon at $7 share, a gain of ST 1-2 cents over Saturdays close and 4$3 share over the low of the year. Departure of Harry Ford Sinclair, chairman of the consol:- dated's executive committee, for the Pacific coast, presumably to cOmnIeta nag0fiationc for aoo,,i.i tion of the Richfield Oil Co. of California, led to speculative buy Ing of the stock.

Bonus Leader Is Under Arrest By
 Capital Police
John Pace Charged With Inciting to RiOt-Small Crowd Tried to March to White House and Were Handled Roughly

Washington. July 25.-UP)- John Pace, leader of the left wing bonus marchers, was ar- rested on a charge of melting a riot this afternoon. Police charged he used his followers to break police lines and go to the White House despite police orders.
 A shouting crowd of insurgent members of the bonus army at tempted to picket the White House to-day but was repulsed by police who met them in front of the treasury building.
 Police were not as patient as in the, similar attempt last week and pushed the veterans back force fully, in some cases sending them sprawlings into the gutters.
 Police shunted the would-be pickets away from the White House at the intersection of Penn sylvania and New York avenues and 18th street. The treasury de- partment is at that corner.
 There were about 75 marchers in the bannerless parade.
 "We want our bonus," some shouted.
 John Pace, leader of the so- called left-wing groups said:
 We demand an extra session of congress to give us our back pay"
 Half as many police as march, CTS were in the street at the treasury corner. The veterans moved half a block m New York avenue and away from the White House but broke across the street and started back toward their ob- jective.

HOEENZOLLERN COUP TINTED IN BERLIN
 AS KAISER'S JUNKERS TAKE CONTROL
Hitler Pact With MonarchiStS
 Forecast In Swift Move To Crush Red Ranks

signed to overthrow parliamen- tary. government. that President Hindenburg would resign and that ex-Crown Prince William Hohenzollern would succeed him as a preliminary step to the res toration of the Hohenzollern monarchy, All this was denied. Emphatically, General von Schleicher declared the new gov- ernment was not warming chairs for anybody that it expected to hold office for four years. Since the new government has no party of its own, this cryptic statement has led many to believe that 1t contemplates some sort of alli- ance with Hitler's rapidly-grow-
 Action of the new government in resembling the old ban against Hitler's brown-shirt parades lends strength to this belief. More over, Nazi newspapers have issued all kinds of political threats and escaped suppression, whereas the government has suppressed so- cialist and Centre newspapers for much less.
 The big mystery in the puzzle is this: Does the Won Papen gov ernment expect to step aside and make place for Nazi government by Hitler? If not, how can it avoid being forced out
 Those who know Von> Schleicher | best expect him, by some means, to ditch Hitler and his crowd. He comes from line of junkers who ruled Germany for centuries, who
 have always felt themselves born to rule and the people born to obey. If Hitler should seize control of parliament, they can always get | the president to dissolve parliament and rule without it. Or they can call for new elections and keep on lodging indefinitely.
 In view of so many political complications and seeming con- tradictions. it is impossible to tell now what the future holds in store for Germany as the result of the reichstag elections.
 It may be that Hitler is at last on the verge of attaining the power he has cought so long. It may be that the Prussian junkers and the rich industralists, wor- ried by the increasing strength of the communists, are playing Hit Ter against the extreme radicals in a deep-eyed game, and are ready to drop him at the proper time.
 Won Schleicher knows the an- swer-but he won't tell.
