HELEN JACOBS
DEFEATED
= 49, HHA 60

WIMBLEDON, England, July 6
'U.N.S0.-Helen Jacobs, American
National champion, went down to
defeat in a sensational upset this
afternoon when Dorothy Round,
England's No. 2 ranking player,
triumphed, 4E6, Ga, 60, and
won the right to meet Mrs. Helen
Wills-Moody for the Wimbledon
championship.
An all-American final had been
confidently expected. Mrs. Moody
ran true to form by defeating
Fraulein Hilda Krahwinkel of
Germany Ga, 6-3, and Miss
Jacobs was fully expected to
trounce the little British girl.
The American contingent suf-
fered another setback when
Elizabeth Ryan, of the United
States, and Enrique Maier, Of
Spain, were defeated in the fifth
round Of the mixed doubles by
Fraulein Krahwinkel and her
team-mate, Gottfried Won Cramm.
6-1, IS.
elimination of Miss Ryan and
Maier was as great a surprise
as Miss Jacobs defeat, as they
were the defending champions.

SRESUME
THEIR ADVANCE

NEW YORK, July 6 0.N.S).
The Stock Market resumed it's
upward march today after early
hesitation.
With the bulls switching from
group to group, heavy profit
taking was swept aside and
eliminated in an uprush around
midday under the leadership Of
the rails.
A rush of buying in the car
rier list swept them into new
high ground for the year with
N. Y. Central setting the pace.
Gains ran to 3 points.
This followed sporadic bursts
of strength in the coppers, oils,
utilities, aviation issues, and pack
ing shares.
The dollar .rallied after early
weakness, but its fluctuations
were ignored by the speculative
community, which found fresh
bullish ammunition in further
broad gains in business and a
start. Bonds also helped by a fur
ther advance, particularly in the
speculative issues. Trading was at
a furious pace.

A rather young Middle

market crash of October, 1929,
told the Senate banking in
quiry today how he Gun
loaded" control of the Pitts
burgh and West Virginia rail-
road on the Pennroad Cor

t$26,194.275.-
He was Frank E. Taplin, Of
Cleveland. President of the road.
He netted a personal profit of
$7,899,877 for himself and family
on the deal.
Senators Amazed
Taplin literally amazed the
Senate Banking and Currency
Committee by revealing how he
anticipated the market crash Of

The Pennroad Corporation,
which bought the stock, was
created by the Pennsylvania Rail-
road with the financial support
of Kuhn-Loeb and Company, to
fight the giant Allegheny Cor
poration, which j. P. Morgan and
Company erected to expand the
Van SWeringen rail empire.
Neither officials of the Penn.
sylvania railroad nor of Kuhn
Loeb APPARENTLY foresaw the mar
ket crash as did Taplin.
Public Bore Cost
This story was brought out by
Ferdinand Pecora, special Senate
counsel, to show how the public
paid the cost of a giant rail
war" between the Morgan and
Kuhn-Loeb firms.
Pecora said the Pennroad Cor
poration, after buying Taplin's
control of the Pittsburgh and
West Virginia, financed the deal
by selling Pennroad stock to the
public. So, in the end, he said,
the public bore the cost.
Pecora drew from Taplin q
complete picture of how a smart
young man got an idea and man
aged it into a huge profit. Tap
lin first told of forming a syndi-
cate that bought 73 per cent of
the Pittsburgh and West Vir-
ginia's outstanding stock in 1928

While condemning the National

The National Woman's Party,

The party, according to Mrs.
Roosevelt, entirely ignores the

any one desiring to exploit them.

was never entirely dissipated. His first wife.
Mary Deylin Booth, to whom he was deeply
devoted, died just as he was beginning to win

Edwin Booth had been born to the theater,
so to speak. His father was Junius Brutus
Booth, Londoner, and himself a very tall
ented and popular actor. The elder Booth
came to America somewhere around the I820's,
and presently established a home in Mary
land, where Edwin was born in 1888. The
father stayed in this home-it was country
place number of miles out of Baltimore
whenever he was filling engagements in Bal
tmore or Richmond.
Edwin had fair amount of schooling, as
a boy: but the stage was his principal school,
for he Travelled about the country with his
trouping father from an early age. In his
teens the boy began to play in small parts to
imbibe the lore Of the stage and to develop
what later was recognized as an astonishing
talent.
1t Is said that his first big part came In
1851. when the father-due to perform in the
title role of Richard IIr'-suddenIy refused
to appear and sent his 18-year-od son out

The audience cheered him to

did not materialize, and
Booth was able to pick up
the threads where he had
dropped them. But the scar
that had been put on his
soul remained all the rest of
his life.
Some years later, a friend
afterward recalled, Booth
reused himself at 3 o'clock
on a Winter morning and
had a servant help him take
a big trunk down to the
basement of his home. There
he had the servant stir up
the fire in the furnace, and
when the flames were going
briskly Booth opened the
trunk-and disclosed all of
the old costumes of his
brother, John Wilkes Booth.
The trunk was full of them,
and every garment had q
sentimental association for
the famous actor.
But he hesitated over them
only for a few seconds. One
at a time, he showed them all
into the furnace. With them
went letters, mementoes, old
programs, handbills and the
like-a priceless collection
they'd be. today.
There was a packet of love
letters, written to the mur-
derer of Lincoln by some in
fatuated belle. Booth weighed
them in his hand a moment,
shrugged, tossed them in the
fire without breaking the
cord that bound them. When
everything was burned he got
an ak and split UP the
trunk and burned the frag-
ments. Then, with nothing
tangible left to remind him
of his mad, desperate
brother, he went back to
