ST TOCK MARKET
TAKES TUMBLE

NEW YORK. May 20 G.N.s)
A burst of selling touched off
by weakness in commodities today
drove the stock market down l
to more than 2 points in one OF
the worst reactions since the in
flation boom started more than
a month ago.
A break of 2 cents buShel in
wheat was the disturbing in
fluence. Added to this was a loss
of 81 bale in cotton and size
able declines in other stables.
The market closed with a SELL
ing rush which sent the high"
speed ticker five minutes behind.
The bulls, taken off their guard
by the unexpected slump. threw
supporting orders into the list in
the final dealings and prevented
the break from getting out OF
hand.
The reaction came in the face
of further favorable news, car
loadings crossing the same week
of 1892 by nearly $4,000 cars, and
steel operations rising to a new
high for the year.
The dollar strengthened fur
ther while bonds were down in
sympathy with stocks.

Roosevelt Suggests Laws
Bringing Oil Control

partnership in industry"
The Presidents letter follows:
Gas the Congress is doubtless
aware, a serious situation con-
fronts the oil producing indus
try. Because oil taken from the
ground is a natural resource
which, once used, cannot be re-
placed, it is of interest to the
nation that its proc due t on
should be under reasonable con-
troll for the best interests of the
present and future generations.
my Administration for many
weeks has been in conference
with the governors of the oil
producing States and with COM
petent parts of the industry,
but it seems difficult if not i'm
possible to bring order out of
chaos only by State action.
In fact, this is recognized by
most of the governors concern
ed.
LEGISLATION DEMANDED
"There is a widespread de-
mand for Federal legislation.
May I request that this sub
ject be given immediate atten-
tiOn by the appropriate com.
mittee or committees? The

formation or data desired.
MAY 1 suggest that in order
to save the time of the special
session it might be possible to

the oil industry with whatever
action the Congress decides to

Instead of opening their tents

A detail of men was put to

MOONEY TRIAL

SAN FRANCISCO, May 20
G.N.SO "A cloud hovered over
Tom MONEYS new happiness to-
day.
Transported here from San
Quentin State prison, where he
has been a "lifer" for 16 years,
Americas foremost prisoner
awoke in his Jail cell today with
the threat that his new trial he
had long fought for, scheduled
for Monday, may be halted by a
Supreme Court mandate.
Mooney was scheduled to go
on trial on a long dormant in
dictment charging him with the
identical crime for which he was
once sentenced to be hanged
participation in the planting OF
bomb which killed 10 persons
during the 1916 Preparedness
Day parade here.
The threat to halt the trial
came when John A. O'Gara, for
mer assistant district attorney,
filed a request with the Supreme
Court for a writ of mandate to
halt the trial on the grounds
that the issue had already been
adjudicated in MONEYS original
trial and conviction, that his life
could not twice be placed in
jeopardy, and that the trial
would be a needless expense to
the taxpayers.
The Supreme Court was ex-
pected to consult on the O'Gara
petition Monday, and there was
a possibility that their ruling
might delay if not altogether
halt the new trial.

DEFENSE REEVES
HOPE OF LAMS0N
Defendants Sister Denies
"Why Did ! Marry Her"
Testimony.
Nv the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
SAN JOSE, Calf, September 6.-An
expression of hope came back to David
A. Lamson's face today as his attorneys
drew upon their string of witnesses for
more testimony, fashioned to offset the
States circumstantial case against him
in his trial on charges of numbering
his attractive wife, Allene. LamSon
was cheered yesterday as relatives and
friends testified at opening of the de-
fense side of the case.
He seemed markedly cheerful as his
attorneys announced they would call
succession of character witnesses today.
The defense intimated it might call
Lamson himself.
Foremost among those coming to his
assistance yesterday was Dr. Margaret
Lamson, his sister, who was among sew
eral witnesses to contradict or discount
the testimony of a prosecution witness
that Lamson sat in the patio of his
home last May 30 while the body of his
wife was being moved to the morgue,
and exclaimed:
Why did I ever marry her?"
Cry Together.
DR.. LamSon said: Dave was sitting
In the patio when I came He wasn't
doing anything-just sitting and star
ing. I dropped to my knees before
him. We cried for perhaps four or
five minutes All that time was con-
sclouS OF some one standing behind me
and patting my shoulder and saying
You must have great courage. DR..
Lamson. for Dawes sake"
Then 1 saw Mrs. Buford Brown
Ga neighbor of the Lamsons) and I
realized then she was my strongest
friend. Later I went out in the patio,
taking DR.. johnson (Dr. Edith John
son. associate of Dr. Lamson) with me
and telling her about Mrs. Lamson's
death"
Did Dave say. My God! Why did
! ever marry her?'" asked Maurice
Rankin, defense attorney.
No. His only words we're: she
anything"
Testimony Blocked.
The prosecution did not cross-ex-
anime DR.. Lamson, but reserved the
right to do so later
Efforts OF the defence to bring in
testimony about trays containing dishes
and food found in the kitchen, failed
under barrage of prosecution objec-
tions. The defence had sought this
testimony from w. H. Mason, San
Francisco newspaper man. and others.
as support for Lamsons story his wife
was not feeling well early on the morn
ing of the tragic day and that he arose
and prepared light lunch for her.
Mrs. Brown, one of the first persons
to arrive at the death scene, said she
entered the house and heard Lamson
in the bath room calling "Allene! AL
lene Speak to mel
She said Lamson tainted later and
she revived him. Mrs Brown said she
heard no remarks from Lamson such as
the State witness, Deputy Sheriff John
Moore, reported She said she could
recall neither seeing Moore in the patio
nor seeing DR.. Lanson and DR.. John
son comforting in the patio apart from
the others.
