TESTIMONY HONOR SLAY|NG CASE
 CONFUSING n JURY

HONOLULU, April 25-Clarence DarrOW, brilliant defense attorney in the murder trial now underway in Honolulu, remained in SeclusiOn all day Sunday which gave rise to the belief that he was preparing his plea to the jury for the exon eration of the four defendants for the staying of the young Hawaiian.
 Dr. Cation, alienist for the prose CutiOn who arrived from the main land last week, was expected to take the stand today to disprove the defense's contention that Mas sic was temporarily insane when Joseph KahahaWai was slain. Ob- servers think that further testi- mony on the part of the alienists will only tend to confuse the poly got jury.
 The jury represents several races and lay occupations ranging from meat cutting to manufacturing potato chips and have found little to guide tn e m in determining Massie's sanity. Their impassive faces gave no hint of their inner thoughts. It is believed that the stories of mental and physical tor ture the young officer and his wife had told will weigh heavily in up setting the nice balance of con- tradictory evidence.

RICHARDSON ROAD, ALASKA RAILROAD
 BATTLE STARTED
COLONEL o. F. OHLSON SERVES NOTICE ON HIGHWAY
 COMPANY

The first big gun in the battle between the Alaska Railroad and competitive interests in what has developed into rivalry for freight and traffic business to Fairbanks was fired recently when General Manager O. F. Ohson addressed the following letter to s. o. Breed man, of the Richardson Highway Transportation Co.,:
 MT. Oscar Freedman,
 President Richardson Highway
 Transportation Co.,,
 "Cordova, Alaska
 Dear Sir: It is my understand ing that you have contracted with the Piggly Wiggly concern to han de their perishable commodities from Valdez to Fairbanks in trucks that you have recently purchased; also that you have announced in auguration of bus service between Valdez and Fairbanks this year.
 Tn view of the above find, it ne- cessary to withdraw my agreement to handle the sale at our Chicago office of sightseeing bus tickets for your company. We will also discontinue to handle free over the Alaska Railroad any baggage of passengers travelling over the Richardson Highway.
 T have also instructed our Chi cago office to discontinue sale of any Golden Belt Tour tickets in either direction, and you are also advised that in our next folder no mention will be made of the Rich ardson Highway Transportation company and the Golden Belt Tours. Yours very truly,
 70. F. OHLSON,
 General Manager"
 To which MT. Freedman replied as follows:
 "Colonel O. F. Ohlson,
 General Manager Alaska Rail-
 road, Anchorage, Alaska.
 My Dear Colonel Ohlson: Yours of March 23rd received, contents duly and carefully noted, and I will say in reply that I think your are taking rather arbitrary at titude toward the Richardson Highway Transportation company.
 You state in your letter that you have instructed your Chicago of flee to discontinue selling both the Golden Belt Line tickets in either direction over the highway and sightseeing tickets in Fairbanks. Up to the present time your Chica- go office has never sold any sight seeing and very few Golden Belt Line tickets. The Richardson Highway Transportation company has always done all it could to pro- mote the tourist business in Alas ka, over the Alaska Railroad as well as the highway, and has prob ably done much more to help the Alaska Railroad than the Alaska Railroad has ever done to help the Highway Transporta- tion company.

Hoover Message Has Good

BY GEORGE t. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK May 6.-The stock mar
ket's response to Washington develop
mentS today, while somewhat delayed,
was as emphatic as the new turn in
events warranted.
Prices ranged higher during the
morning but trading was hesitant and
the gains ran only to point or two
In the afternoon, however. when the
full significance Of all that has hap
pened daWned upon the Street, stocks
swept forward buoyantly in the most
vigorous recovery since the present
phase of the long decline began.
1t was, of course, President Hoover's
message which initiated the rally. The
adverse report of the House Ways and
Means Committee on the bonus pro-
posals accelerated the buying move
ment, which was for both accounts
The news that the United States Stee
Corporation would cut wages is pei

the newborn confidence Steel stocks
as well as the market itself made then
best prices after the announcement.
The market opened irregularly higher
reacted after the overnight orders had
been executed and then in the second
hour initiated a slow advance. The de-
cline had gathered so much momentum
that a reversal of the trend was not
easy. From the action CT prices on the
tape it was a reasonable oedu t on
either that the short interest was rela-
lively slight or that. entrenched in its
position, it was slow to take alarm.
During the first two hours prices held
within a narrow range. The marHi
was encouraging chiefly because it VII
no longer necessary to record continu-
Gus new lows" Gains over the pre-.
ceding close ran from fractions to
point or more, but there was no carry.
through to the movement. American
Telephone, Coca Cola, American Car
and Consolidated Gas, all of them weak
in recent sessions, were consistently
supported, but traders were too timid tc
buy on the advance. From one point OF
view this was a favorable indication
any sharp upturn being almost certain
to bring another reaction
The oil stocks made the best showing
as group. Partly this was due to tht
realignment going on within the Stand,
ard Oil companies presuming that the
Government enters no objection to the

DRIVE FOR SALES TAX

Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, May 6.-Word reaching
Wall Street this week that the Senate
might bring up the sales tax for con-
sideration. and that many OF those IN
Congress who were originally against
this form of revenue have now turned
in favor of it, gives announcement to
the financial district. 1t is believed
that if it were shown that this tax had
a good possibility for success, the effect
on the security markets would be In
Stant and substantial.
The latest decline in the stock mar
ket. which has averaged nearly 40 per
cent, gained its greatest momentum
after the sales tax was. killed IN the
House. Subsequently. other departures
of Congress from what Wall Street be-
HeYes to be sound business and banking
policy have added to the uneasiness
among investors An indication that
Congress, in the closing weeks of the
session, may adopt more conservative
attitude would do more for both stocks
and bonds than any other onf influence.
