WOOL MARKET

Boston, Nov 2S-UP)-Sales of wool were being made at firm to stronger prices today, though total volume was lighter, than for last week.
 The lag was attributed in part to the approaching holiday and in part to an easier foreign exchange, which affects / wool considerably now with domestic stocks working unusually low.
 Manufacturers continued to show interest, however. and were paying prices in the following range: Ohio and similar Delaine fine combing grease wools, 34-36; half-blood, .35- 36: three -eighths, 41-43; quarter blood, 41-42. Strictly staple good fine combing territory clean wools, S5-S6: half-blood, S1-83; three- eighths, S0-82 Representing an ad- vance); and quarter-blood. 71-73.
 The U. S. agriculture department said: Business in the wool market thus far this week has been little slower than during the previous two weeks. Nevertheless, there is con tinued interest from manufactur- CTS. Trade is pending on numerous lots of the finer grades of domes- tic wools and some sales are being closed. Graded French combing 64s and finer territory wools are bring ing 81-83 cents, secured basis, while strictly combing graded wools out of similar lines are firmly held at 85-86 cents, secured basis.

Steel Industry Asks
 For Code Extension
Request Taken By Administrator Hugh s. Johnson
 That AlPs We'll With MIRA and Steel

the American Iron and Steel insti- ute, the code authority of the steel code. officially expressed "its gen. eral satisfaction with the opera tions of the code in its effects on the industry and request that the trial period (which expired Nov 19) be extended to May 31, 1884, to the end that sufficient time may be given more fully to demonstrate that the provisions of the code will effectuate the purposes of title of the National Industrial Recov- cry act"
 This act constituted the first ma- jor disclosure of the effect of codes on big business and labor. It was announced that President Roosc- welt expects other major codes which were written for trial per- iods only would be continued be- yond their normal expiration dates. These include textiles, lumber and automobiles.
 Analysis of complete figures fur nished by 213 of the 237 companies in the steel industry, contained in the Iron and Steel Institutes report submitted with it's application for extension of the code, showed an increase of $9,293.O00, or 32.1 per cent, in wages and an increase of 92,155, or 2S.3 per cent, in employ ment on october IA, when the in- dustry was operating at A per cent capacitya as against June IT, when it was operating at AZ per cent of capacity.
 An interesting factor in the re- port is that although the code provides that the S-hour day shall not become mandatory until the in- dustry shall be working at 60 per cent capacity after November l, 1883, nevertheless, in order to com ply with the wishes of the MIRA and in spite of the heavy financial burden occasioned thereby, the in- dustry has eliminated the 10-hour day in favor of the 8-hour day. This change, which was begun by some companies late in September, occasioned additional increase of 12.5 per cent in rates of pay for the employees affected by the reduc- | tion in working hours. The effect of this change shows In the aver age earnings for October"

MOSQUITO PROJECT TO TAKE JOBLESS
CWA Approves Employ ment of 800 Men Now
 on Relief Rolls

New Haven, Conn.,, Nov. 2S -. A statewide project of mosquito elimination, which will employ at least 500 men now on relief rolls, has been approved by the civil works administration of Connecti- cut, under the federal relief pro- gram. Supervision is in the hands of the Connecticut Agricultural Experiment station, which since 1912 has been in charge of mos quito elimination under state stat ute.
 The work started last week in Stratford and Clinton, and will go forward this week in New London, Waterford and Milford. The proj- ect will proceed in other towns as soon as arrangements can be made.
 R. c. Botsford station deputy in charge of mosquito elimination, ex- plained today that the project would be centralized under the sta ton, but that labor would be em- ployed only from lists furnished by the towns. According to federal regulations, the men will be drawn first from the relief rolls of the towns and after that, from other numbers of the unemployed. First preference is given to unem- ployed veterans with dependents. MT Botsford said that towns de- string such aid, should communi- cate with the station.
 The towns whore work is done will provide boots for the men, tools and transportation.
 The stations program for mos quito elimination includes, first of all, ditching the salt marsh areas on the shore, of which about one fourth remain undrained. Second, fresh water mosquito breeding areas will be attacked, and after that, dumps and other neglected spots where the pest breeds.

CITIZENS OF SAN
 JOSE GENERALLY
 AGREE WITH GOV
Brutality of Brooke Hart's Murder Called for the
 Lynching of Slayer

San Jose. Cal. Nov. 2S-CUP)- San Jose citizens generally agreed with Governor James Rolph, Jr., today that mob action in lynching the kidnap-slayers of Brooke L.. Hart was the work of splendid citizens and good job which should teach kidnapers a lesson" Brutality of Hart's murder, in which the 22-year-old heir was kidnapped. stunned with a brick. bound and thrown into San Fran cisco bay before Thomas Thur mond and John Holmes even be- gan ransom negotiations, so arous- ed San Jose that few protests of the lynching were heard.
 "This is Americas answer to the kidnaping racket" Assistant Dis trict Attorney Herbert Bridges was quoted as saying. ''I'm not sorry it happened in San Jose" |" Bridges had been delegated to prosecute Thurmond and Holmes on the Kidnapping and staying charges. A mob took the case out of his hands by storming he jail. dragging the pair out, and a"nging them In St James park.
 A representative of the victim S family said Rolph's statement was "reprehensible and blot on .he state" District Attorney Fred Thomas doubted whether he could prosecute any of the participants in the lynching. Who will swear out the complaints and against whom ?" he asked. He was to con- fer with Sheriff William Emig, who was injured seriously in the two-hour battle preceding the hangings. Emig's condition did not permit conferences but his doctor said that the peace officer was im- proving. He was the worst injured of the eight hurt in the mob ac- tion

(Continued from Page 1.) Hoover message to mind his own business" Wiggin was the first witness called to-day. Ferdinand Pecora, 1 committee counsel, invited him to comment on FOX's sensational I story. The two statements, direct ly contradicting each other now are part of the sworn testimony in the record.
 Fox swore that Claadius Huston, former chairman of the republican national committee. was told by Wiggin to take the message to MT Hoover.
 "Is there any statement you care to make in connection with the testimony given by MT Fox?" Pe- cora asked.
 "Yes,' said Wiggin.
 "The statement by MT Fox re- garding word I was alleged to have sent to the president is absolutely and entirely false. I have met MT Huston. He never was in my house. The only time I ever had dinner with him was at the University club.'
 What was the nature of that? asked Senator Couzens, republican, Michigan.
 "It was large dinner attended by Secretary of Commerce Lamont Senator Watson and other noted Washingtonians."
 Noted for what?" COuzens ask ed.
 "They were in the public eye, Wiggin said concluding his state- ment with the assertion that he never had discussed the admins. trations attitude toward Fox films with Huston or Fox. Pecora turned to the Chase Bank financing of Harley L Clarke's General Theaters Equip. ment, Inc. Wiggin agreed that the banks loans were speculative" Wiggin agreed that trading ac. count transactions were "specula- tive' but said he thought 1t sound to make loans for that purpose. "It's common practice" ht said.
 "We know that" said Pecora "But do you approve of it?" Well looking back to 1929 with the eyes of 1883. I certainly agree that we shouldn't have made lthose lOans."

BY ELMER c. WALzER Tnited Press Financial EdifOI

New York, Nov. 28 = (UP)- Stock prices turned irregular today after a smart rally in the early trading. Volume decreased and sales for a day were only moder- ately above the million-share mark.
 Impetus for the early rise was furnished by the rise in gold to $33.85 per fine ounce by the R. F. c. when that price was announced the dollar was firm, the pound be- ing at $5.07, off 3 1-2 cents from yesterdays close. The gold price in London worked out at $31.S5, in American funds, or $2 under the R. F. c. quote.
 The pound quickly advanced and crossed $5.20, against previous close of $5.10 1-2. Other European currencies followed. As the dollar dropped in relation to these mon ies. stocks rose l to 5 points; declined, and commodities advanc- ed. Silver at one time was up more than 100 points. It later reacted.
 The feature of the grain markets was weakness in rye which was sold on influx of imports and indi- cations tariff barriers would not be imposed. Wheat closed fractionally higher at Chicago and more than a cent lower at Winnipeg.
 Rubber, silk. coffee, sugar, cop per and cotton futures were car- ried higher in the morning on the dollar weakness. Then profession als began to sell and all markets dipped from their highs, while bonds recovered slightly from their lows.
 The outside traders held aloof from stocks and professionals dis couraged with their efforts to bring a rally sold holdings.
 However, there was no pressure on any particular group. Rails were slightly easier most of the day on unseasonal decline in net operating income during October That dip was accounted for by the fact the roads spent more for equipment and maintenance.
 Car loadings continued to make a good showing as compared with a year ago. Chicago, Burlington &s Quincy reported a rise of 23.3 per cent in the week ended November 25, as compared with 1882, against a rise of 1894 per cent in the previ- ous week; Nickel Plate 21.4 per cent, against 1V.o,pcT CcuLs SAlSdSO x Northwestern 25.5 per cent, against 13.6 per cent: and Wabash 28.8 per cent, against 9.4 per cent.
 Utilities again eased off but de- rclines were held to less than a point in most instances. Wet stocks dipped to previous closing levels after early advances.
 During early trading the mining and chemical shares were strong features. In the former group, U. S. Smelling reached 91 1-2, up 5 IA; American Smelling AZ 1-8, up 1-8; Cerro De Pasco B IA. up 9 Is; Alaska Juneau 21 5-S, up 1-4; and, Mcintyre Porcupine 39 1-2, up 1 7-8. Allied Chem ical, Air Reduction, and Du Pont at their highs were up 2 to more than points.
 Case reached 70, up 1-2 points when wheat was sharply higher and then lost most of the gain. Building shares had a period of strength. Motor shares eased to the previous close and then ruled steady to the close. Western Union lost nearly all of rise of more than 2 points. Steel shares were

REINSTATEMENT
 CHASED BY MOB

(Continued from Page 1) hotel. the Wicomico, finally con- vinced the mob that the news papermen were not in the hotel and they withdrew.
 Then Clements smuggled the re- porters out of a side door one at d time until they all escaped.
 They were forced to leave all their baggage in the hotel and Clements said that he was afraid that if the mob learned their bags and cameras were still there the crowd might return.
 After the newSpapermen were forced to flee, the mob broke up into small parties and roamed the main streets overturning all auto- mobiles they believed belonged! to the newspapermen or people from outside the district.
 Two cars were thrown bodily into the Wicomico River. Another was burned.
 The mob, which congregated about the hotel was warned against entering by Clements.
 "You can't come in here" he shouted as the mob surged around the doors and jeered, shouting im- precautions at the newspapermen.
 As the group moved up toward the porch, he agreed to let selected representatives enter to con- vince them that the reporters had left.
 Fred Cole, photographer of the Washington news, fled to Seaford. Del, where he reported that the mob had destroyed his automobile and then had tried to set fire to the Wicomico Hotel.
 My car was parked i'll front of the hotel" he said, "the gang recognized it as a newsman's ma chine because of the camera cases on the seat.
 "They turned over the car, smashed the windows, slashed the tires and then set fire to it.
 Then I saw some of them take wads of paper, set them afire from the blazing machine, and try to toss them into the windows of the hotel.
 That's all stayed to see. It was getting too hot for us. We ran out the back door and got taxi cab and got away from there."
 Cole said that the photographer who was beaten seemed to be in such a serious condition that he was left at the hotel.
