STOCKS Go HIGHER
| IN HEAVY TRADING
Public Utilities, SteeIs and
Oils Prove Leaders
on Upside.
BY GEORGE +. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 25.-stocks made
new highs on the recovery. the foreign
exchanges advanced against the dollar,
and commodities we're almost uniformly
strong In today's markets.
In stocks. however, there vas heavy
realizing, and not al the gains were
retained. It was plain that the share
market was meeting more opposition on
the advance than 1t had In recent ses-
sions.
Wheat closed ~ TO Z cents q bushel
higher. Rubber was strong al day,
up 40 to IS points. October cotton
sold above 8 cents . pound, Is this
market also went into new high ground
Sugar was to points higher and
at the best Of the recovery. Silver va.
very strong at the opening and held q
good part Of the rise.
Sterling exchange was up 8 to Z
cents and francs advanced about 10
points, with the other continental cur
rencies correspondingly higher. In all
the markets the imitation factor domi-
mated trading.
The leaders today were the public
utilities. the steels and the oils. Buying
in the utilities was partly at the expense
of the short interest and partly due to
the feeling that this group was out Of
line with the rails and industriak It
had no basis In any change In the out
look for the electric light and power
companies, which were stu faced with
the prospect of stringent regulation,
prolonged investigations and forced rate
reductions. The market. however. took
no account Of the unfavorable factors
Consolidated Gas. American Telephone,
Columbia Gas, Public Service Of New
Jersey were all In urgent demand with
substantial gains tn prices.
Buying in the steels had the back
ground of highly optimistic trade ad-
vices. Operations were reported a.
having been stepped up to the highest
since February, 1882, With the proba-
bility that further gains would be regis
tered during the week. U. 8. Steel
common and preferred were the lead
ers with the latter ut Q new years
high.
Oil stocks were taken up because
they also had been relatively neglected
in last weeks hectic sessions. The point
stressed was the possibility Of price
increase and the seasonal rise In de-
mand for gasoline. Sacony-Vaculi1n
was a favorite above $40 share for
the first time this year.
There was also heavy buying u the
motor stocks, which was another case
Of response to hopeful reports from The
trade. Auburn as usual made the
largest gain. up at one time some I
points.

LaGorce New Postmaster
Of Little America

day gained the official title of
Postmaster of Little America.
He was sworn in, with all the
dignity attendant on such an
occasion, by the Postmaster Gen.
eral, James A. Farley.
Not that Mr.. LaGorce will ever
establish a postoffice in an igloo
in the barren ice wastes of Little
America. But the title is his and
the commission that goes along
with it.
The actual postal work con-
necte dwith Admiral Richard
Byrd's expedition to Little Amer
lea at the South Pole will be done
by Leroy Clarke, a member Of the
Byrd expedition, whose official
title with the Postoffice Depart
ment is assistant postmaster Of
Little America"
Mr.. LaGorce, after having re.
ceived his commission today, said:
81 should like to have a fence
built around the South Pole so
that it will be known that Lit
tie America belongs to the
United States Of America"

Meanest Crook
Makes Victim
Of Mewsboy

The "meanest crook" in
Washington worked at the ball
park yesterday, bilking a 15-
year-old newsboy Of his earn
ings, $1.95.
The boy, William Dietz,
1000 block Newton st. N. w.,
was selling papers when an ath-
letic looking man came up to
him and asked him to go to a
nearby address and get some
bats and gloves "for the team"
The man asked the boy to
put up his receipts as evidence
of his honesty. Arriving at the
address given, there were no
bats and gloves there, and
when he returned to the ball
park he found the man with
his money gone.

BREWERY HOLDUP GETAWAY CAR FOUND
Singin' in the Bathtub Becomes Cryin'
AS Two Little Girls Lock Selves In
Policeman Not Much
Hell p, Stool Solves
Trying Problem

Singing in the Bathtub" isn't
all it's cracked up to be, two little
girls learned today.
The pair are Elizabeth Nc
Laughlin, 3-year-old daughter of
Mrs. Cora Mclaughlin, and Bar.
bara Fern, 212-year-old daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Robert Fern.
Both live in the 1900 block of
New Hampshire Ave. N. w.
According to their parents, the
children went in the bathroom
to wash each others hair, usually
a three-time-a-day event. But
today, after the two had played
for a while they turned on the
water in the bathtub.
Finds Door Is Locked
When Mrs. Mclaughlin finally
learned where the little girls
were, she tried to get them out
but found the door locked.
She called to her daughter to
open the door, but Elizabeth only
answered:
"I don't want to-"
Then, after pleading failed
Mrs. Mclaughlin called police.
BY the time Policeman H. S.
Montgomery arrived, the girls
found they were unable to release
the lock because the heat in the
bathroom evidently had swelled
the metal bit and the girls were
not tall enough to get a firm
grip on it to pull it back. They
became frantic and began scream
ing.
Stool Saves the Day
Policeman Montgomery didn't
want to break the door or the
lock. Finally Mrs. Mclaughlin
recalled there was a stool in the
bathroom and told Elizabeth to
get up on it and release the lock:
This was done and the scared
children were freed. The bathtuh
was Just about filled with water
and the girls soaking wet.
After it was all over, Mrs. NC
Laughlin said:
"The two of them should be
spanked"
But, instead they were told they
should never, never, never, never
lock themselves in the bathroom
again. They probably won't.

Dr.. King, Administrator, Has
Conference With Relief
Head on Matter

Two pressing problems in the
tense milk situation throughout
the country were being untangled
today by the Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration.
One is a method for placing
the nations entire milk industry
under a trade code, and the other
is a plan for Government pur-
chase of surplus milk for dis
tribution to the poor.
Confer On Crisis
Under the leadership of DR..
Clyde L. King, Federal milk ad-
ministrator, two separate groups
of Government experts conferred
today on the two matters.
The first intimation that the
Agricultural Adjustment Admin
istration is seriously considering
a scheme for overcoming over
production of milk by buying it
for distribution to the destitute
come when DR.. King met with
Jacob Baker, of the Federal
Emergency Relief Administrator,
and R. N. Littlejohn, liaison off
Ger between the relief agency and
the Farm Administration.
Favors Milk for Poor
Although DR.. King is known to
be favorable to some method LOT
supplying surplus milk to the
poor, his reaction has not been
announced to a plan along the
same lines suggested by Repre-
sentative Crosby of pennsylvania,
in a telegram recently sent to
President Roosevelt.
Earlier in the day the milk
administrator conferred with his
assistants, DR.. E. w. Gaumltz and
b. B. Derrick, in charge of mar
keting agreements for the admin
istration. on a plan for blanketlng
every milk distributor and pro-
ducer in the country under some
form of code, probably to be Iald
down on regional lines.
Dairymen Organize
Dairy farmers of Prince Will
liam county, Virginia, met at
Manassas last night to form a
protective committee OF the
Maryland-virginia Milk Produc-
ers' Association. DR.. Marstellar,
of Manassas, was elected chair
man, and j. A. Hooker, Of Nokes-
vile, was named vice-chairman.
Tonight, milk producers of Fau-
quier county will meet at Mid
land to organize a similar COM
mittee.
Organization of committees has
been completed in Fairfax and
Loudoun counties and in Mont
gomery county, Maryland.
