DECLINE IN STOCK .
PRICES RESUMES
Late Selling Movement Re-
suits in New Lows
for Leaders.
BY GEORGE I. HUGHES.

The decline in the stock market was
resumed In the last hour Of today's ses-
sion. Up to that time it had been firm
and generally slightly higher When
the liquidation was resumed, however,
activity picked up and numerous new
lows were reported.
Stocks that brok through their old
1888 resistance points included U. S.
Steel common, Allied Chemical, oCn-
solidated Gas, General Motors, Stand
ard Oil Of New Jersey and j. l. Case.
AS rule the losses we're not large and
would not have been considered sig
niflcant If the reaction had started
from a higher level.
Wheat closed fractionally lower, al
though earlier in the day it had reg
istereds gains. All deliveries of corn
made new lows for the season right at
the end. Foreign exchanges were high
er against the dollar all day, but not
Importantly SO.
The market gave a surprisingly good
account of itself all through the morn
ing. Stocks were shade lower at
the opening, but almost Immediately
thereafter the market hardened. All
on the banking outlook The entrance
of Henry Ford into the Detroit situ-
alton was considered constructive and
led to the hope that similar action
would be taken in other centefS wherl
there have been disturbances On tha
other hand, the closing of the Cleve,
land Stock Exchange and the restric,
tions put upon Withdrawals by bankt
IN that city and in Indianapolis shove
that the problem as whole was still
unsolved
The market continued to look for a
statement from the new administration
or in its behalf as to upholding sound
money standards. If such a statement
were forthcoming it would be the most
helpful thing that could be done. For
1t was not only the banking troubles.
but the movement for currency imitation
which gave concern. The markets are
suffering from the general lack of con-
fidence, not from any deterioration in
trade prospects, which on the CONTRARY
are brighter
The gains during the morning were
most noticeable in Air Reduction,
United States Steel preferred, South
Puerto Rico Sugar, and the tobacco
stocks. Among the rail, Atchison and
Union Pacific rallied A part of this
betterment was probably the result of
short covering, but it did not look as
though that were the only kind of
support.

Grain Market
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, February 27-Notable
steadiness characterized grain values
early today. Stock market rallies be-
fore grain trading began were a
strengthening factor.
Opening at 4 decline to shade ad-
vance, wheat afterward held near the
initial limits. Corn started unchanged
to Is higher, and subsequently altered
little.
Wheat gradually edged upward after
keeping within range Of only y cent
during considerable time. Advances
in securities acted as the chief basis
of buying. Offerings of wheat were
rather meager, and we're readily abb
sorbed, especially on slight dips in
prices.

fessed today he participated in a
half dozen bold holdups and burg
laries in Kansas and Missouri that
netted loot worth $685. 900.
Police inspectors arrested Law

assertedly left him for another
man.
Police sought to link him with the
Bailey gang of machine gun bandits
and bank robbers.
Lawson was arrested at his res
idence here He had been working
as leather cutter, trade he
learned at Leavenworth peniten-
tiary. He has also served time at
the Kansas and Oklahoma state
prisons.
Inspectors said he confessed to
the daring daylight robbery of the

Crimson, Kansas. He was aided by
two companions who he said were

LAMSON CASE
NOT FINISHED

SAN JOSE, Calf, Sept. Is. tU.Py
An accident was 1000 times
more probable than anything else"
In causing the death of Allene
Thorpe Lamson, the defense argued
today at the murder trial of her
husband, David A. Lamson.
While closing arguments swung
into their third day, workmen out
side the courtroom hastily construc-
ted an iron fence to keep caves
droppers far away from the room
where the jury will deliberate the
Stanford Press executives fate.
When Attorney Edwin Rea fin
iSheS his plea for acquittal, the
state will launch its final demand
that the defendant be hanged for
the death of his wife. Superior
Judge Robert P. Syers charge must
be heard before the case reaches the
semen men and five women of the
jury.
That time remained a matter OF
conjecture. 1t may be late today.
1t may be tomorrow If Judge Syer
reverseS custom and holds a Sat
urday session. If he follows usual
procedure, the arguments for and
against conviction will grow cold
over the weekend and the jury
will get the case Monday

NEW REAL ESTATE LAW TO
CURB MOUNTAIN TOP SALES

Changes in the real estate act
as they effect SUBJ divisions was
the subject of a talk given last
night at the Ell Centro Chamber
or Commerce dinner meeting by
Joseph P. Smith, commissioner of
the state real estate department
before large group of Imperial
Valley realtors and others inter-
ested in the real estate business.
Smiths talk was particularly in
tereSting as the subdivision laws
directly affect the sales of Choco-
late mountain land, matter which
has long caused trouble for the
real estate department and on
which, with the cooperation of the
local chamber of commerce, they
have been working for six years.
Smith stated that the sale of
Chocolate mountain land under
Misrepresentation has been one of
the greatest problems in Southern
California. His department has a
record of one sale to a resident
Of Germany which consisted of
five e-sixteenths of an acre of this
arid mountain land and the pur-
chaser believed he had bought a

SHOES NEEDED

Great demands for children's
shoes and clothing are being made
upon the Salvation Army on ac-
count of the opening of the school
year, according to Captain Edward
Hill.
Many parents have been unable
to secure employment and have not
sufficient money to purchase school
needs for their children.
Supplies at the Army were de-
pleted last week and Captain Hill
would appreciate donations. Several
residents remembered the usual
run on wearing apparel prior to
the opening of school, and took do
nations to the hall, Captain Hill
said.

SECRETARY OF
RED CROSS TO
WORK IN TEXAS

Mrs Mae Sherry Winans, exc
cutive- secretary of the Imperial
County Red Cross chapter for the
last three years, was ordered to
leave tonight for the disaster area
at Harlingen, Texas.
Red Cross officials of the flooded
region borrowed Mrs. Winans from
the Pacific coast area and she was
instructed to leave on the 1926 o.
clock train tonight. A lack of train
ed disaster workers caused the en-
ergency transfer.
Mrs. Winans said today she was
sorry to have to leave so suddenly
and deeply appreciated the splen-
did type of cooperation extended
her by many residents of Imperial
county.
Nothing definite has been done
in regard to obtaining a successor
for Mrs. Winans, who resigned from
the local chapter early this summer.

A money order II years old and
bearing the signature of a man
dead for many years, recently was

OIL ADVISORS

WASHINGTON, Sept. Is. U.P)-
Secretary of Interior Ickes today
appointed a petroleum adminiStra-
tive board to assist him in govern
ing the industry under the oil code.
The new agency, composed almost
entirely of government officials, is
expected to aid Ickes in an early
decision on price-fixing policies.
Nathan R. Margold, solicitor of
the interior department, is chair
man OF the board.
Ickes is stuoyipg the situation
caused by refusal Of officials of the
Texas Oil company to furnish Ger
tain cost data requested by the in
duStry's planning committee. They
declined 10 discuss the matter un-
til ne ascertains the nature of the
request and of the refusal.
The data was said to have been
sought in connection with the COM
mittee's preparation of price rec
concentrations. Price fixing was
held in allegiance pending full
report to Ickes on the nature and
extent of gasoline price cutting wars
and of excessive price boosting in

WILL
FIGHT VERDICT

LOS ANGELES, Sept. Is. WH-
Claire Windsor. golden haired film
actress, planned a determined fight
today to escape payment of $4,000
damages jury decided Marian
Y. Read should receive for losing
the love of her former husband
Alfred C. Read, Jr.
Three steps were planned by her
attorneys in an effort to obtain
reversal of the judgment, one of
the largest ever awarded here in
an alienation of affections suit.
They announced they would ask
trial Judge Joseph P. Sproul to
set aside the verdict or grant a
new trial If both requests are
denied, an appeal will be taken to
higher courts.
The verdict was voted to by
the seven men and five women
jurors who decided in less than
five hours that endearing letters the
actress wrote read were ample proof
she disrupted the conjugal tram
quillity of the young Oakland
couple.
Miss Windsor was dumfounded
by the outcome of the sensational
trial.

farm in Imperial Valley. To show
the absurdity of deals in this USE
less land Smith stated that one
concern selling cosmetic orders
from house to house had offered
with each five dollar order five
acres of Chocolate mountain land
free.
Although the state real estate
department has been somewhat
limited in its jurisdiction over these
sales the new real estate act has
changed this and they can now
definitely stop such sales. Under the
new law any subdivision consist
ing of more than five parcels must
be approved by the department be-
fore sales can be made, and this
includes all subdivision property
whether agricultural, oil or gas
land. The cost of the investigation
is borne by the SUBJ -divider end,
if the SUBJ division is outside of
California but sales are being made
within this state, the travelling eX-
penSe of the investigator is also
borne by the ub-divider.
Smith also told of economies
which have been effected in his
department since he took over the
office of commissioner almost three
years ago. The force has been cut
from 80 to As through efficient
management. although the work has
increased 100 per cent since the
new act went into effect. Salaries
have been cut, postage has been re-
duced and printing costs saved in
every way possible. The speaker
pointed out that in his belief all
state departments could make SIM
liar reductions and in that way
bring about decided saving in
state expenditures and resultant
saving to the tax payers.
Thomas j. Murphy, supervisor
of the state real estate department,
who is in the valley with Smith to
go over the various carbon dioxide
properties now being developed
in this county, was introduced to
the gathering as were Mrs. Smith
and Mrs. Murphy, who accompani-
ed their husbands on this visit.
Guy A. Weakley. neewly appoint
ed superintendent of elementary
schools in Ell Centro was introduced
and expressed his apprecia ion for
the very hearty welcome which had
been given him by the people of
Ell Centre. Never, he stated, had
he been received with such cordi-
ality in a new home as he has
been in Ell Centro.
At the conclusion of the pro-
gram w. w. McEuen. in charge of
for the local NRA Or
ganization. urged the people of this
community to sign NRA pledge
cards and to post the blue eagle
in the home windows. IF each

tion of DR.. N c. Dupont, chairman
of the county committee. Plans for
relief and particularly for employ
ment in the county were discussed.
H. E. Walker, head of the ma
tional unemployment service was
present and under his suggestion
the county unemployment service,
similar in form to the county re-
lief commission, was organized with
DR.. Dupont as its head. Other
committee members named were

Centre; Paul Palmer, Brawley; Gift
ford Randolph, Westmorland; John
Duncan, Calexico, and DR.. j. d.
Keye, of Holtviile. This committee
will meet again next week to fur
ther its plans.
The purpose of this movement is
to enroll men for all public works
in Imperial county. Chan Livings-
ton Was selected as manager of this
organization for the county and will
have offices in Ell Centro. Applica-
tions will be taken for work on con-
tracts let in the county to date.
Names OF these men will be classi-
flee and then submitted to the con-
tractors for their selection.
Preferences will be given as fol-
llaw.l: veterans with dependents;
local men who are registered vot-
ers; transient men and aliens who
have taken out their first papers.
Walker stated that TOO men will
be put to work here between now
and January l and there may be
a possibility of sending extra men
to other counties later. The names
will just be furnished to the con-
tractors and they will then do the
selecting of the workers. Men who
are already signed up with the
county relief commission need not
sign again for this work, but just
give their names to the commit
tee.
More details of this plan will ap-
pear in The Press tomorrow, but
it was pointed out that laborers are
to receive so cents an hour with
80 hours a week work. This is to
be steady work. Other workers will
be paid according to a graduated
scale with some receiving as high
as Sl40 an hour for special work.

a recurrence of clashes between
striking miners and company dep
utleS such as already have result
ed IN more than a score of injuries.
Fifty troopers, thoroughly trained
in fighting and taticS, moved into
the county during the night from
GreenSburg and Butler barracks
to reinforce the dozen stationed at
Uniontown. The entire detachment
was spread over the strike zone at
most threatening points such as
the H. c. Frick Coke company's
Gates mine, where a company de-
putty and Is miners fell wounded by
buleltS yesterday when the depu-
ties attempted to scatter pickets.
Threatening weather also pro-
missed help to the troopers in pre-
serving the early morning calm in
the area until operators agreed on
the coal code they promised Pre-
sident Roosevelt to complete to-
night. 1t was to force such an agree
ment that more than $4,000 min
ers walked out on holiday" this
week. They claimed the operators
were deliberately "stalling" until
large coal surpluses were brought
to the surface at cheap pre-code
prices.
The governor previously had or
dered two battalions of national
guardsmen to be ready to move into
the county. The militia was on spe-
cial trains at Erie and York await
ing further orders when the gov
ernor decided troopers would be
more effective at present, and sent
the soldiers back to their homes.
