STOCK RALLY ENDS
UNCERTAIN TREND
TRANSACTIONS ON THE NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE |SUC
Market Still Is Spotted" but
Features Are on Side

BY GEORGE r. HUGHES.

Special Leased Wire to The Star.
NEW YORK, June 5.-Stocks rallied
uncertainty In the first part of today's
session, but aggressively in the second
half. The market was still spotted"
some issues not sharing In the improve

side Of advance.
the sugar shares, the gold mining issues.
the communication shares and various
industrials. The gold stocks did not
get under way until the fourth hour,
but then they advanced buoyantly, with
Dome Mines, above $50 share for the
first time, the most active issue. Among
the sugars the star performers were
American Sugar Refining and South
Puerto Rico, the former up some
points. Armour of Illinois preferred,
which gained more than 19 points last
week, added over 6 points more today.
The market was no longer concerned
that upset it on Saturday. The more
conservative element was inclined to
look on the spectacular gains of the
leaders critically but was not ready to
take the selling side.
Alcohol Shares Strong.
There were a number of points Of
strength in the early trading, the most
striking Of which was the advance in
National Distillers Products, which at
one time amounted to between and 9
points. The public appetite for the
alcohol stocks was apparently as keen.

ago Western Union was a favorite short

this, but today's action of the stock sug-
gested buying from that source.
Motor stocks were very active, but ir-
regular. Packard, one of the lowest

Steel stocks were Irregular during the
first two hours, but started upward In
the afternoon after the early selling

than General Motors.

CRASH PUZZLE
TO ROSENDAHL
Former Commander Says
He Is at Loss to Account
for Akron Tragedy.
By United Press

By United Press
SAN DIEGO, Cal, April S.
Lieutenant-C Commander Charles E.
Rosendahl, first captain of the
dirigible Akron and survivor of
the Shenandoah disaster, declared
today that he was baffled by the
Akron's loss.
THE Akron was well-con-
Structed ship and previously had
survived the severest tests of any
airship in history" Rosendahl said,
in signed statement.
In my opinion, judgment as to
the cause can not be passed until
complete, diSpassionate study is
made"
Rosendahl, now stationed aboard
the battleship West Virginia, sent
his statement by radio to Eleventh
Naval District Headquarters here.
Il am more than deeply shocked
at the loss of the Akron and extend
my deepest sympathies to the
families of the lost, many of whom
for years had been my associates
in airships," the commander said.
The meager reports so far avail
able are insufficient to form an
opinion as to the cause of the ac-
cident. Lieut. e n a n t-Commander
Wiley (rescued first officer of the
Akron) is widely experienced and
no doubt will be able to give most
valuable information.

Cause Still Mystery
Bu Tujted Press

NEW YORK, April 5.-The essen
tlal cause Of the crash of the Akron
remained a mystery today.
Available information from sur
vivors appeared to establish that the
ship was not struck by lightning,
did not catch fire, and suffered no
explosion.
DR.. James H. Kimball associate
meteorologist of the weather bureau
here, considered one of the foremost
experts on aviation weather, be-
lieved the dirigible was struck by
vertical air currents" which COM
bined with the swirling horizontal
winds of an off-shore rain squat to
twist the framework Of the Akron,
making it unmanagable.
Lieutenant Commander Herbert
V. Wiley, ranking survivor, described
graphically how the Akron, Grip
pied because its rudeers had been
disabled, plunged downward after il
was caught in the seeming center
of the gusty squat which trapped
the ship. but his statements shed
little light on whether the dirigible
actually was mangled by the wind
or fell from some other cause.
The three survivors of the dis
aster departed by airplane from
Floyd Bennett field at 1888 p. m.
today for Washington.
Lieutenant Commanded H. v.
Wiley, who was on the bridge OF
the Akron when she plunged to de-
struction, and two seamen-Moody
E. Erwin and Richard E. Deal
boarded a tri-motored plane at the
airport.
! Their goal was Ancostia field.

Henry L. Roosevelt, assistant sec

day night that a complete investi-
cation Of the Akron's crash would

whether he believed the navy's

Tuesday at the naval station for

hopeless vigil. Naval authorities
conceded privately that they could
hold no hope that any of the miss

Besides, the German tanker Phoe-

lighted up the sea as the Akron
came down.

only a few twisted bits of duralum-

Atlantic City was designated the
center of rescue operations when
it became evident that the currents
of the ocean had carried bodies and
wreckage rapidly south along the
coast, while cruisers, destroyers,
surfboats, and planes hunted fruit
lessly Tuesday off Barnegat.
Body Is Found
The body of Lieutenant-Com
mander H. E. Mcclellan was brought
here at 10 p. m. on coast guard
cutter 213, which found it afloat
thirty miles off Atlantic City. The
cutter reported much wreckage, but
all in small bits, near where the
body was sighted.
A report from the steamer George
Washington that it had passed what
appeared to be an inflated bit of
fabric at latitude 1881, longitude
74.12, sent the cruiser Portland, flag
ship of the rescue fleet, to that
position off southern Jersey during
the night.
The reports from the cutter 213
and the George Washington made
it apparent that unless bodies Oh
bits of wreckage might have been
washed ashore in isolated sections
Of the coast above Atlantic City, all
further operations must be concen-
trated to the south.
Lakehurst In Mourning
At Lakehurst, the flag at the
naval air station flew at full mast,
though the New Jersey town was
in deepest mourning Most of the
victims lived near the town, and
many left widows.
In addition to the personal grief
felt over the disaster, there intruded
the belief that Lakehurst's days as
a busy airport we're over. With the
Akron gone, the Los Angeles ex-
pected to be sold or otherwise dis
posed Of, because of age, and the
new Macon scheduled to make its
home port in California, the future
of Lakehurst appeared dark.
Adding to the sorrow Of the town
was the tragedy of Tuesday when

for Akron victims, crashed into the
sea. Lieutenant Commander David
