WARRANT TO SEIZE INSULL REFUSED
Dip In Rails
Holds DOwn
Market

NEW YORK, Oct. Is G.N.S0 .
The stock market today paused to
consolidate its gains after yeSter-
days sweeping rise.
BulliSh operations were resumed
in the first half-hour under the
leadership of the rails. This was
checked by the car loadings re-
port for last week, which showed
traffic up 1861 cars.
While this continued the favor
able trend in loadings, Wall Street
had expected a larger gain, and
this brought some selling into the
rails, wiping out early gains run
ming from to 2 points.
The rest of the market sold
down with the rails, and showed
small losses on the day. There
was little selling pressure, how
ever, and considerable evening up
occurred in the second hour.
Revelation that American Tele-
phones earnings for the nine
months were considerably under
the dividend requirements had
little influence market-wise, the
stock holding within a fraction of
last nights close. other pivotal
stocks like U. S. Steel and Allied
Chemical showed a steady tone.

EVIDENCE,
Us. VIEW
State Department, However,
Studies Proposal for
Voiding Passport

Illinois State authorities
failed today in their first at
tempt to obtain a presidential
warrant for the arrest in
Greece of Samuel insult, ST.,
former Illinois public utilities
magnate.
The application for the Presi-
Dental warrant was made in per-
son at the State Department by
Charles A. Bellows and Andrew
VlachoS, of the Illinois States at
torney's office.
Evidence Inadequate
The warrant was refused on
the ground that insufficient evil
dence had been presented.
Bellows and VlachoS said they
would remain here pending the
arrival of the additional evidence,
for which they have made an
urgent request.
The Illinois attorneys presented
their application and their evi-
dence to Joseph Baker, of the
legal division of the State De-
partment.
In the meantime it was learned
that State Department authori-
ties were making a study of the
legal status of Insults passport
which he has refused to surren-
der to the American legation IN
Greece.
May Void Passport
The general view here is that
a passport may be invalidated at
any time for reasons which ap-
pear sufficient to the State De
partment.
The legal advisers, however,
were studying precedent and cases
with great care, indicating a pos
sible broadcast to all American
diplomatic and consular posts in
Europe notifying them of the

CELLER' s COAL

A fight for Congressional action
to legalize beer and light wines
before the Christmas holidays, so
that State legislatures can amend
local laws to permit their sale,
was launched today by Represent
ative Celler CD of New York, a
member of the House Judiciary
Committee.
Declaring it now is a foregone
conclusion that Congress will
favor modification of the Volstead
Act to permit sale of light wines
and beer, Celler said prompt
action is important.
Celler, as member of the Ju-
dietary Committee, said he would
demand action by the committee
after Congress convenes the first
Monday in December.
He will propose a measure,
which, he said, would legalize bev-
erages containing no more alcohol
than that contained by volume in
a naturally fermented wine.
