Special Dispatch to The star
BALTIMORE, Md, January 16.-Due
to liberal receipts from all points, espe-
cialIy from the West and lighter de-
mand coupled with unreasonable warm
weather, the egg market showed a sharp
decline this week with drop Of ap-
proXimately 7l2 cents a ooZen from top
prices Monday. Premiums on hennery
whites have been discontinued, dealers
taking up regular firsts in preference,
and nearby stock will not bring any
more today than Western flrstS. The
market closed today at 1872 cents a
dozen for nearby firsts and l7i2 cents
for current receipts, but mixed, ungrad-
ed stock, as we'll as pullet eggs, have to
be sold entirely on merit at irregular
prices.
With the exception of turkeys, ducks
and geese, all of which are easier and
show a decline in price, the live poultry
market holds steady, but demand has
been slow. due TO the warm weather.
While the market is still unsettled,
cooler weather will bring an improve
ment on practically all lines. Capons
made their first appearance Of the sea-
son on the market this week and
cleaned up readily at 25 to 80 a pound
for medium to large blros, weighing b
to pounds, but smaller and slips move
slow at Z3 and "a.
Young hen turkeys, pounds and
over, show a decline of cents pound
at 28 to 80, and young gobblerS, II
pounds and over, 5 cents pound at
20 to %. while old hens and gobblers
move slow at l8 to 20, and crooked
breasts are neglected at Is and l6. A
fairly good demand prevails for smooth,
fat, mixed colored young chickens at
81 and %, and l8 to 20 for small to
medium, but Leghorns are not so de-
sirable and slow sale at IS TO l8. A
better demand prevails for old hens,
which are holding steady at Is to 81
for fowl weighing 3i2 pounds and over,
but Leghorns will not bring over 16 and
II, and all poor. thin fowl, as we'll as
old roosters, move slow at ii and l3.
Demand for ducks and geese only
fair and the market rules with prices
in buyers favor at 18 to 81 for the
former and Is to l8 for the latter, but
stock weighing under pounds will not
bring over IL and l3. Guinea fowl and
pigeons holding steady at rs to so each
Evening star., 1932-01-17

for the former and 20 to rs pair for
the latter.
No change is noted in the white po-
tato market, both receipts and de-
mand being moderate and the market
holds steady at rs to 100 per 100
pounds, with No. 2 stock not wanted
at any price. Sweet potatoes and yams
in fairly good demand and the market
holds steady on the former, but the lat
ter shows a decline of 25 cents bar
rel at 100 to l5O with sweets un-
changed at 100 to 1.25 barrel.
Receipts of native and nearby garden
truck continue light with movement
slow and prices mostly in buyers favor
at the following quotations:
Kale, Is to so bushel; onions, 800
and 400, hundred; oysterplants, 400
to 500 hundred; savoy cabbage, so and
so bushel; spinach Is to 60 busheb
and washed turnip, Is to 25 hamper. .
The live cattle market continues dull
and easier, there being little demand
and values show a decline on practl-
cally all lines Only choice fat cattle

Oldtimers say that never since the white man landed here have the snow and ice on the high ranges disappeared with such rapidity as during the summer just drawn to a close, and that they are not drawing on their imaginations can be proven by a look around from Hyder at the various peaks. Everywhere rocks are exposed that never before were touched by the suns rays, and some large snowfields, pre- sumably everlasting, have dis appeared entirely. On the headwaters of the south fork of Marmot river, where R. E. Lundvall has a mining proper ty, his ice road, upon which formerly it would have been possible to work a four-horse team, has melted away until he cannot go over it on foot, and all property owners and pros pectors operating in the upper reaches of the mountains have similar stories to tell. If such summers as this become the rule, in a few years we will be able to see nothing on the peaks in the latter part of the summer but bare rocks.

The Railroad Problem


 missions, boards, committees and other advisory bodies cre- ated during the present de- pression with a view to devis- ing means for economic better ment, none has a more disting- uished personnel than the com mittee recently selected to study and make recommend ations respecting the plight of the country's railroads.
 The committee is an unoffic- ial body, formed on the initiat- i've of important savings banks a n d insurance companies, whose holdings of railroad se- curities makes the soundness of these securities vital to the interests of their depositors and policyholders. The com mittee is composed of former President Calvin Cooli d g e, chairman; Alfred E. Smith, former governor of New York; Bernard M. Baruch, eminent financier; Alexander Legge, former chairman of the Feder- al Farm Board, and Clark Howell, publisher of the At- lanta Constitution.
 In a letter requesting these notable citizens to undertake the difficult task assigned to them. the bankers and insur- ance companies said in part:
 "The present position of the railroads is a matter of grave concern. This situation touch es every citizen. We beg that you examne all phases of the problem and recommend a sol ution which, with due regard for the public interest, will in- sure an opportunity for the railroads of this country to op- crate on a business basis"
 Every thoughtful citizen must realize that the preser- vation of our incomparable railroad facilities is a matter of vital importance, not only to the many thousands of small railway stockholders, but to the other thousands of railway employees, and the millions of bank depositors and insurance policyholders whose welfare is dependent upon the stability of our rail system.
 The findings and recommend ations of the Coolidge commit tee will therefore be awaited with unusual interst on the part of the public.

them. One of them was a lieutenant.
They were taken prisoners and sent to
Barra do Pirahy, where the headquar-
tiers of the fedral forces is located
The clash followed reports received
here that the rebel leaders had been
persuaded yesterday by the federal gov
ernorS Of the states Of Matto Crosse
and Nina GeraeS to lay down their
arms ana support the provisional gov
ernment.
A concerted attempt was made to
persuade the rebels to give up the re-
bellion. Airplanes were sent over Sac
Paulo to drop leaflets to that effect.
From the military point of view the
federal government seemed to have the
rebels bottled up in their state. Con-
hdence was expressed that no matter
what hape2ed the movement would be
stamped cut within a few DAYS.
The revolt deprived Rio de Janeiro
of meat. vegetable and other supplies
for which it depends on Sac Paulo. The
announced purpose of the revolt, which
started last Sunday. was to re-etsablish

j. s. FLYERS BODY
FOUND IN JUNGLE
Companion Discovered Starv-
ing by Indian Woodsman
in Mexico.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
MEXICO CITY. July 15.-One Of
two Americans who have been missing
since June 27, when their airplane dis
appeared over the Mexican interior on
the way to Honduras, was reported
mediately to ascertain which of the
two the survivor was.
The men are Clarence McE1roy, Me-
daryville, Ind. pilot of the plane. and
Roy Gordon, an American resident of
Tegucigalpa, Honduras They were
taking the plane to Honduras for de-
livery.
An unverified report said McElroy's
body had been found in the jungle. The
town of San Geronimo, whence the re-
port came, is difficult to communicate
with and it was impossible to check the
dead mans identity Immediately.
Dispatches from San Geronimo said
an Indian woodsnan found the sur
vivor. starving and unable to speak,
five miles east of there. He made signs,
however, indicating he had been in an
airplane accident, the dispatch said,
and that his epmpaRion would be found
deeper III the Jungle.
An expedition was sent out from San
Geronimo and found the body OF an
other man
The report was received here just as
radio communications between here
and San Geronimo were cut of and 1t
was impossible to learn whether an
Identification of the man had been
made later.
McElroy and Gordon disappeared
June 81 after they took off frcm Vera
Cruz for Tapachula. Mexico. Another
pilot saw their plane head into a
storm east of San Geronimo and it was
not seen again. The area is covered
with jungle growth and it was feared
they might have crashed there.
Airplanes secured the territory for
a week but found no trace Of wreckage.
TROY, Ohio. July 16 LP).-Clarence
McEIroy and Roy Gordon were flying
an airplane from Troy, Ohio, to
Honduras when they disappeared in
Mexico, June 81, during a violent
tropical storm.
Another flyer, C. w. Mayse. who. with
his wife, was making the trip at the
same time in second plane, arrived
at his destination safely.
Mayse said the ships had left
Minatitlau, Mexico, on the east coast
and were flying to Salina Cruz, with
Tapachula as their scheduled next stop
when he first noticed the approaching
storm
Realizing the danger Mayse landed
in a small valley, and after the storm
went on to Tapachula. When McElroy
and Gordon did not arrive there, Mayse
turned back and made an unsuccessful
search for them.
