MINE SHARES LEAD MARKET
 FOR ADVANCE
Shares Generally Make Gains, Three or More
 Points, Short Session

NEW YORK, Sept. 16. - Stocks took fresh courage today at the short session and rallied substan- italy under mining leadership.
 All leaders, however, did not re- cover the sharp losses of yesterday but there were many gains of one to three or more points. Transfers were 100000 shares.
 The curb was irregular.
 The mining rally is considered somewhat impressive in the fact of the indifferent commodity price movements and further rumors concerning Frances adherence to the gold standard. Homestake jumped 26 points to a new high at 351. United States Smelling reached a new peak at 100.
 Other Shares Up
 Gains of two to five points in American Smelling Howe Sound, Depasco and Alaska Juneau were made while International Silver was up six points.

jr., with violation of the Federal
corrupt practices.
The indictment had charged
the Southern Methodist bishop,
then head of a political commit
tee and his secretary with failure
to report contributions received
during the 1928 Presidential cam
paign.
Defense attorneys claimed the
indictment was invalid, and JUS
tice James M. Proctor upheld
their views.
When the Government took an
appeal, defense attorneys raised
the contention that any appeal
would have to be taken direct to
the United States Supreme Court
and claimed that the Court of Ap-
pealS. therefore, did not have
jurisdiction.
To settle the question of juris-
diction, the Court of Appeals
certified the case to the highest

shoes, plain kid appliques for others

the most part low cut, with two or
three eyelets, and many have fancy

anyhow, and If you only make one out

benefit from this line Of bidding.
Raise Spades First; Use Delicacy.
Your bid over two spades is three
spades, not three hearts. This tells
your partner that you have at least four
spades as well as four hearts, and I
think you should take him to four
spades if, over your three spades, he
bids four hearts. However, If over your
three spades he bids three no trumps I
would bid four hearts and leave it to
him whether to bid four spades or not.
