an upward trend today and near
the close was on the last of the
series. prices closing irregular, but
above the lows of the day.
Opening irregular, the list was
unsettled by another break in
Auburn which carried it down lie
points to 81. Steel hit 46, off IL
net. American Telephone, 1249s ,
off %. New York Central, 284t F.,
off IL.
The foregoing stocks rallied be-
fore noon and at that time the
Dow, Jones 81 Co. averages showed
only fractional recessions. Ano-
ther reaction set in before the end
of the fourth hour, but prices
rallied to above the previous close
in many instances.
The waiting attitude was ex-
planned by the absence of stimulat-
ing news and fears of the bears
to sell the market short since there
IS still prospect of legislation
against short selling.
Commodities were mixed. Wheat
and corn closed slightly lower,
while cotton was a few points
higher. Bonds were mixed featured

SOLID SOUTH

WASHINGTON, Oct. PA swing
back from President Hoover to
Democratic moorings is reported
throughout the south, and the
border in another group of conf
dental reports to the United Press
in it's national impartial survey.
Out of a group of fifteen states,
Mr.. Hoover is reported as having
a fighting chance in only one. He
carried nine of these states four
years ago. Four of them were in
what was until then the solid south.
These reports give Governor
Roosevelt a fairly certain total of
1874 electoral votes with the pos
sibility of eight more in West Viz

This block would carry Roosevelt
more than halfway along the road
to the 266 votes needed for an cleo

BIZ Jnitcd Press
I OS ANGELES, Oct. 12.-The
- final chapter to the strange
story of the hoax murder of
Mildred Schneider, 2O-year-old
Indiana hitch-hiksr, was written
today with a reunion with her
mother, and the revelation that
she was married to the youth,
who completed the transconti-
mental iunket with her.
Mildred, whom Arthur Metcalf,
Indiana farm youth, confessed
killing, calmly embraced her
mother. Mrs. Wanda Schneider,
of Fresno, CAL whom she hadn't
seen since she was 5, shook hands
with Metcalf, and then intro
duced George Redden, 20, as her
husband.
Mildred's appearance at Police
station Monday night to deny she
was dead, exposed the fantastic
story of Metcalf that he had
killed her near Needles, Cal, be-
cause she had spurned his adj
vances. The two had hitch liked
from La Porte, Ind, where Mil
dred lived, later being joined by
Redden, who brought her here.
Metcalf went to Fresno where
he presented himself as Mrs.
Scheidler's long lost son.
Police we're notified when she
found a Woman's underclothes,
apparently blood-stained, in his
possession. Then he confessed.
After the reunion here, Metcalf
was returned to Fresno where he
will be held for Indiana authori-
ties who reported him mentally
deficient.
Mildred said she and Redden
were married last Saturday.
