TRADING METHODS
Of SHORT SELLERS
Barred BY BROKER
Brush, Veteran Trader, Says
Time to Sell Short Is
on Rising Market
BEARS CANNOT RAID
EXCHANGE, HE HOLDS
Tells How Prices Might Be Forced
Down by Heavy Sales-Rocke-
feller to Follow.
Ry the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
A veteran Wall Street trader, Matthew
c. Brush, testified to the Senate Bank
ing Committee today that under certain
conditions short selling could depress
the stock market, but he denied there
had been bear raids in recent months.
Committee members leaned forward
over the long table to hear every word
as the gray-haired operator gave an
inside story of playing the market and
told of being as much as 125,0o0 shares
en- both sides of the market at various
times.
Brush said short sales could depress
the market by creating supply in ex-
cess of demand, and drew laugh when
he added he expected to get shot"
when he returned to New York for that
admission.
Attitude PIeases Senators.
After the hearing, Senators ex-
pressed themselves as pleased by the
attitude taken by Brush. Senator
Brookhart Republican, Iowa), one of
the 'severest critics of Wall Street, shook
hands with the witness.
The committee division over the in
Quiry and the manner of conducting it
f1ared openly, however. Senator Cou-
Zens took William A. Gray, the counsel,
to task for his manner of examination
-contending he did not dig deeply
enough into the situation.
Bear raiding, Brush said, does not
yicf tho aYChanOe hApQlISe nf
restrictions placed on short selling.
Questioned, he said 'I don't think
my short account has any more effect
on the condition of the country than a
rabbit"
Brush did not reveal his presen! short
holdings.
Wall Street Entertained.
Wall Street was much entertained, If
not particularly enlightened, by publi-
cation of the list of short accounts,
according to a New York dispatch.
Big names" were diSappointingiy few,
and the abundance of corporations of
unheard-of names, evidently Sp-ca1led
dummy corporations" formed merely
for the purpose of holding certain ae-
counts, was confusing there.
Wall Street had considerable fun in
trying TO identify several OF the corpo-
rations, particularly the American
Brush Co. The only such firm listed in
Nex York in reference books was not
on Wall street, but the Bowery. of all
places, obviously not the firm men
toned. Associates of Brush, however,
laughingly said that if the company
had been named Matt Brush, Inc.,"
it might have been more appropriate.
The few lady bears" listed were not
easy to identify. The obvious explana-
ton advanced was that the names
might include secretaries of prominent
executives.
Among the leaders who have been
associated with the short side OF the
market, notably. Brush and Rookie
feller, who between them hold director
ates on the boards of close to hun
dred corporations, the name OF Brush
appeared as a short seller, b' Rookie
feller's was lacking.
Well down on the list was the name
of a Spanish grandee-Marquis de San
Miguel. Available records disclose that

WET VICTORY SEEN
IN PENNSYLVANIA
Drys, However, Claim Sue
cess for Gen. Butler Over
Senator Davis.
BY G. GOULD LINCOLN,

PHILADELPHIA, April 22.-Penn-
sylvania Republicans are staging a
great wet and dry fight in their sena-
torial primary. which takes place Tues
day. The vets are expected to win.
Senator James j. Davis, who had the
approval of the Anti-Saloon League
when he ran for the nomination two
years ago, is supporting the wet cause.
Against him is pitted that veteran Of
many battles, Maj. Gen. Smedley D.
Butler, U. S. Marine Corps, retired,
who is holding aIoft the banner of pro-
hibition.
Davis has the backing of the regular
Republican State organization, not to
mention the Ware organization In this
City of Brotherly Love.
Pinchot Backs Butler.
Butler, on the other hand, has be-
hind him Gov Clifford Pinchot and
his political organization. He has the
ardent support, too, of the Anti-Saloon
League, the Women's Christian Tenn
perance Union and many of the
churches.
The battle is attracting attention far
beyond the borders of Pennsylvania
Indeed, DR.. F. Scott Mcbride, general
superintendent of the Anti-Saloon
League, has announced that it is essen
tial that the drys have victory, other
wise the word will go forth to the coun-
try that the second most populous
State in the Union is lost to the drys
and the vets will have added strength
in the Senate.
The drys are certainly "sore" when
they speak Of Senator Davis. They
look on him as a backslider and they
charge that he went over to the vets
merely because "Bnl' Ware, still q
potent voice in the Republican organi-
zation of Philadelphia, threatened to
run a candidate against him if he did
not come out wet They are going the
limit in this campaign to beat Davis.
But the prohibition issue is not all
that Is involved in the senatorial pri-
mary campaign. Gov. Ptnchot, who
mas made Gen. Buffers cause his OWL,
IS admittedly seeking the control of the
Republican political organization of the
state. He is making a drive for con-
