He said:
Married life for me has been

He revealed that Attorney

STOCKS STAGE
SHARP RISE

NEW YORK. July 1.-THE
bulls had it today, in practically
all the markets, stocks, bonds
and commodities, with enthusiasm
at fever pitch on the New York
Stock Exchange, where heavy
opening profit taking was ab-
sorbed without a flicker of the
eyelids.
The market was a rotating af-
fair with liquor aviation and
farm stocks taking successive
whirls, scores of issues setting new
high and gains running to more
than points. The ticker was
almost continually behind. The
Curb Exchange followed fairly
closely the trends of the big
board.
Cotton on the New York Cot
ton Exchange jumped 50 a bale
to new season highs. Rubber
was another star commodity.
On the Chicago Board of Trade
the spectacular advance in grains
continued, with wheat climbing 5
cents bushel and the hitherto
rather neglected barley squirting
4 cents. Other grains followed
these leaders within striking dis
tance.

to the authorities when Harr1
mans lawyers, William j. Dono

confer with Hartman. They
waited in vain for his return and
finally spread the alarm

sumed today before Federal Judge

New York Saturday morning
to fly to their native land Of
Lithuania, were found dead in
a woods near here today in
the wreckage of their plane.
The pair had spanned the
ocean successfully despite the
bad weather into which they had
headed, but came to grief just a.
few hours from their goal at
spot approximately 1000 miles
from Floyd Bennett Field, their
starting point.
Lack Of fuel appeared to be
the only reason for the crash.
Their fuel tanks were empty, and
they had been aiming at a
forced landing in wide meadow
only 200 yards beyond the thick
woods into which they crashed.
A Terrible Sight
The fliers were Unidentified by
maps, charts, and Lithuanian
newspapers found in their plane.
Walter Danzig, acting district
governor, told International News

at about a. M, presumably
about seven hours after the pair
had crashed. He said:

The plane had fallen right into

The Luthuanians were last

INSPIRING TALK BY FIR. SULZMAN
 BEFORE 5. ". C.

An interesting meeting of the Art Department of the Woman's Club was held on Thursday after noon, at the apartment of Mrs. A. D. Haverstock. A paper was read by Mrs. L. J. Chilberg, chairman of
 the department, which traced the development of paintings from, the earliest Greek paintings, thru the early Christian era, and up to the period of the High Renais- sance, which produced the greatest masters of all time-Michelange- 10, Leonardo da Vinci and Raphael.
 The treat of the afternoon was the talk by Father Merrill Sulzman. He told of the splendor of St. Pet CTS (the Vatican, Rome), of the wonderful art treasures there, opened briefly the door of the Sis tine Chapel, and gave glimpse of the Ceiling painted by the great est master-Michelangelo.
 He told of the Mosaic factory in the Vatican where all the gradual ly fading old masterpieces are be- ing reproduced in mosaic for pos terity. And he told the surprising fact that the masterpieces of Rem brandt and Titan are preserved by the Soviets in the Hermitage which was the private art gallery of the Czar of Russia. In the days of the Car, this was closed to all but the Czar's friends. The Soviets have thrown open the doors and the common people are daily visitors.
 This inspiring talk by Father Sulzman is a promise of what the women can expect at the monthly meetings of. the Art Department of the Club, as he has consented to continue his talks throughout the Club year.
