FULFILLS WISHES
OF MISS SCRIPPS

LA JOLLA, Calf, Aug. 4. W.H-
The family Of Ellen Browning
Scripps, noted philanthropist and
figure in American journalism,
made plans today to scatter her
ashes over the waters of the Pa
cific ocean. No date or time for
the ceremony was announced.
Miss Scripps died Wednesday at
the age of 95. In accordance with
her wish that no public funeral be
held, simple, private cremation SER
vices were ordered.
An expanse of the sea overlooked
by the palisades home in which she
spent her last years, was chosen up
on which to scatter her ashes.
The ceremony will unite Miss
Scripps with her, brother, the late
E. w. Scripps, founder of the
Scripps League OF Newspapers, who
was buried at sea from his yacht,
on which he dieG in 1926.
Miss Scripps wished no other
monument than the scores of hu-
manitarian and educational works
which her generosity created, her
family said.
Near her last resting place
among these are the Scripps Mem
orial hospital, the Scripps Metabolic
clinic, the La Jolla Women's club
and playground, and the Bishops
school,
The Scripps Institution of Oc-
eanography-the only ex-marine
biological laboratory of its kind ir
the worlds nearby. Miss Scripps
built it jointly with her brother
and it was maintained by the Un-
iversity of California, as distinct
contribution to marine science.

Baby BuIp Movement
Has First 5000, 900 Sale
Of The Year.
TICKERS SWAMPED
Brokers Confident That
Upward Trend Is Sign
Of Stability.

NEW YORK, Aug. 4. tU.P)-Wall
street was treated to its first
100000 share day of the year to-
day, another installment in the
baby bull movement that has been
in progress since july g.
Increased popular interest in the
gathering boom brought in horde
of buying orders and for a time
tickers ran four minutes behind
trading and 1t was necessary to
abbreviate quotations to keep pace.
Rising tendencies were in eW-
dence until shortly after noon. Up
to that time the active stocks had
risen l to points and the less
active l to 18 points.
Trading ran at 100000 share
pace in the first half hour but by
noon only 100000 shares had
turned over. BY 1:30 the total
reached 100000 shares and by
210 the 100000 share mark was
crossed in the heaviest turnover
since October 6, 1881.
Trading fell off in volume in
the late dealings. This shrinkage
occurred when profit-taking de-
veloped to bring prices down from
their highs. 1t was interpreted as
a distinctly favorable factor.
The late selling reduced gains
considerably, but most prices were
still above the previous closing
levels except in the railroad group
where net losses predominated.
Utilities also slipped off.
The feature of the way was
American Telephone and Tele-
graphs ascent to above par. 1t
reached 100B where it was up 37s
points.
Steel common at it's high for the
day was 34A, up 2ss from the pre-
vious close; Allied Chemical 68ss,
up AS; American Can 46A, up
3s; Atchison STA, up 21s; Union
Pacific 53ss, up As; Coca-Cola
941a, up Az, and Standard of New
Jersey 33h, up 2.
These gains were cut down in
the final reaction, but in the lssJ
few minutes pressure lifted, and
several advanced from the days
lows.
Several preferred stocks made
wide gains, including Adams Ex-
press at 40, up 157s; American
Power and Light preferred at 81,
up 4; Atchison so, up 5; Engineers
Public Service with warrants 40,
up 10; Public Service 8 per cent
lis, up s; Tidewater 55, up liz,
and United Biscuit SO, up Is.
At their highs today majority
of issues were back to levels
touched in early April.
Considerable buying came from
foreign sources, London and the
European continental cities being
prominent in this respect. Profess
sional traders were less eager to
buy as the day wore on and not
few were distributing stock, ac-
cording to reports. Some new short
lines were put out near the close.
According to preliminary calucu-
lation, the Dow-Jones & Co. in
dustrial average stood at 1851, up
1.39 points; railroads 21.95, off 005,
and utility 24.20, up 0.33.
Sales we're 3,500,000 shares,
against 100000 shares yesterday.

MOVED TO HALT
MOB'S VIOLENCE

LUDINGTON, Mich, Aug. A..
U.P) - Francis Nash, 80, Freesoil,
today pleaded guilty to first degree
murder in connection with the
killing of 17-year-old Evelyn San
ford last Saturday night, and was
sentenced to life imprisonment.
TRAVERSE CITY, Mich, Aug. a..
U.H - Francis Nash, 32-year-old
farmer, has confessed he killed IT.
year-old Evelyn Sanford, a neigh
Dor, authorities said today.
Prosecutor P. r. Won Sprecker,
Sheriff George L. Colyer of Mason
county, Capt. Earl j. Hathaway
and Corporal Colburn Munger of
the state police, heard his story.
II met her on the road Saturday
night. I tried to hug her as I
passed her. She slapped me.
II lost my head guess. I struck
her in the neck with my fist. She
fell to the pavement heavy. She
didn't make a sound and I got
scared. I had to get her out of
the way" Nash said, according to
the prosecutor.
The officers brought Nash here
from Manistee to avoid danger of
mob action after 1t became known
that the girls body had been found
in a cottage where Nash was care
taker.
Nash emphatically denied he had
criminally attacked the girl.
when I got her down in the
basement" Nash's confession con-
tinues, II felt her pulse and listen
ed to see if she was breathing. I
was shaking. She didn't seem to
be alive. So I dug a hole in the
fruit cellar and covered her up"
Corporal Munger and Harold
Pfeiffer, a Manistee newspaperman,
found the body shortly after noon
yesterday, about a foot and half
under the surface
Tomorrow Nash is expected to go
before a justice of the peace, waive
examination, go into circuit court,
plead guilty and receive life SEN
tence, the maximum penalty for
crime in Michigan.

CHAPLIN EXPECTED TO INCREASE
HOOVER'S CAMPAIGN STRENGTH

the department CT commerce. HIS
job is to stimulate activity and key
up shell-shocked business. just be-
fore he was appointed, Chaplin is
sued a statement predicting better
times.
Lamont was practically a retired
business man when he was ap-
pointed at the start of Mr.. Hoover's
term. His numerous industrial di-
rectorships were held as capital
list rather than as an active hard
hitting business go-getter. He was
content to let the department of
commerce carry on under its own
momentum. DR.. Julius Klein, as
sistant secretary. was the chief en-
ergizing force. But Mr.. Hoover has
been his own secretary of COM
merce.
The department of commerce
building will have more business
men now than at any time since
Mr.. Hoover used to hold his almost
daily trade conferences. If Chaplin
does nothing more, he is likely to
stimulate passenger travel to Wash
ington.
The second consideration is po-
litical. Lamont was so unimport-
ant politically in his own state that
when he was appointed one of the
Illinois Republican senators asked
who he was. His political activity
was nipped when he innocently told
reporters, as he emerged from his
first cabinet meeting, that he was a
director in the association against
the prohibition amendment. He
did not indicate any particular
shame at being such and the result
ing headlines such as Hoover Cab
met Member Wet" caused the kind
ly gentleman to lose favor as a po-
litical tower of strength around the
White House.
Chapin-and this is one of those
delicate matters which it is not
considered good taste to mention
above a whisper-has the ear OF
many business men who could, if
they would, contribute to the Re-
publican campaign chest. H e
wouldn't solicit funds but he might
be helpful in a general way.
The Michigan automobile indut.
try has been bitter against the new
tax law because of automobile
taxes. Some who gave up to $685.
600 to Mr.. Hoover four years ago
have been muttering that they
wouldn't give cent this year. Hen
ry Ford is about the only Michigan
automobile man who has declared
for Mr.. Hoover. The six Fisher
body brothers gave him a total OF
100000 last time. There's gold
in them thar folks" But thus far
National Treasurer j. r. Mutt OF
Cleveland hasn't been able to dig
much of it,
There's a good deal of Democratic
talk in Michigan. The state re-
Gently elected a Democratic con-
gresham in a district which hasn't
gone Democratic in 80 years. Key
men are being sought to pass the
word down the line that a vote for
Mr.. Hoover will mean more auto
mobiles on Michigan assembly lines.
Recently Mr.. Hoover issued a for
NAL statement urging the country
to buy more automobiles. In 1923
the Republicans talked about two
cars for every garage. One would
be satisfactory this year.
1t is a versatile job, but Chaplin
is versatile man.

DEMOCRATS SEEK
TO END 6. 0. P.
FILM MONOPOLY

HOLLYWOOD, Aug. 4. U,H-The
motion picture industry, long known
as a Republican stronghold, showed
first signs of political insurgency
today when prominent executives
and stars staged Roosevelt mass
meeting.
The demonstration took place on
the Warner Brothers lot, and lead
erS planned to call another soon
at which they expect several thou
sand studio workers will attend.
Unusual interest was shown in
the meeting because the industry
long has been tacitly considered a
part of the Republican party. This
has been due largely to activities of
several film leaders, including Will
Hays, Louis B. Mayer and Joseph
M. Schenck.
Jack L. Warner was named today
as chairman of the motion picture
division of the Roosevelt Garner
Democratic campaign, and will be
aided by an executive committee
composed of Jesse l.. Lasky, Para
mount, Winfield Sheehan, Fox,
Henry McRae, Universal, and Mer-
ian E. Cooper, r. K. o.
William Gibbs McAdoo addressed
the meeting, and later was endorsed
for United States senator from Cal
ifornia. Harry Cohn of Columbia
and Carl Laemmle, Jr., of Univer-
sal sent kilograms of endorsement
to the organization.

MILITIA RESCUES
BESIECED MINERS
In INDIANA WAR

TERRE HAUTE, Ind, Aug. 4.
WP)-Nationa guardsmen rescued
"a grimy, hunger-weakened men,
including four wounded, today from
the Dixie Bee coal mine where they
had been pesieged by $500 angry
union pickets for nearly 48 hours.
The line of pickets surrounding
the bullet pocked mine property
melted away in the darkness as the
$50 troops approached. Firing on
the mine continued until the
guardsmen were within 500 yards
of the scene.
The powder begrimed band of
mine defenders told the troopers
they had arrived just in time.
1--WE had given up hope of res
cue," the miners said. "Our am
munition was nearly exhausted and
the fire from the picket lines had
grown more fierce. If they had at
tackled us again, we could not have
beaten them off,"
The four wounded men, struck by
bullets in one Of the fiercest eX-
changes Tuesday afternoon, had re-
ceived no medical treatment until
the guardsmen arrived.
The miners were nearly exhaust
ed after being under fire almost
continuously, they said, for 20
hours. Every man was armed with
a rifle, revolver or shotgun and
stacks of handmade dynamite
bombs were piled ready to throw at
any pickets who ventured too close
to the mine property.
The mine buildings were riddled
with bullet holes. Twenty-Five au-
tomobiles which had brought the
men to work the morning the siege
began were torn and battered by
the heavy fire of bullets.

government authorities stood con-
demned today by the Beverly Hills
American Legion post, which adopt
ed a resolution after hearing Com
mander S. S. Hahn in a plea for
ballots not bullets" in the conduct
Of American civil life.
The resolution was presented by
Howard Mitchell, Legionnaire and
member of the county Republican
central committee, who denounced
the administrators attitude to-
ward the veterans. The post Or
dered the resolution brought up at
the state Legion convention in Oak
land this month.
Hahn. speaking at a post meeting
last night, declared the "gateways
of our national capital have been
arbitrarily barred to U.S."
"All those bonus boys did was
to lobby peacefully for the balance
due them on their adjusted COM
pensation," he said. IF lobbying
is an offense punishable by death,
then the authorities in Washington
had better use gas and bayonetS
on some dollar-a-day men and
women patriots" and the lame
ducks who infest Washington.
Hahn criticized the foreign pol
icy of government officials, declar-
ing more than fifteen billion dol
lars have gone to Europe without
the faintest expectation of ever
getting a dollar back"
