.0FF-SEASON CHASE
ATTRACTS 3 SCORE
Riding and Hunt Pack and
RedIand Hounds Lead
Vain Pursuit.

More than three score Washington
mans and residents Of nearby Maryland
had their first taste Of fOX.huntlng as
a warm weather" Sport yesterday at
the popular Thanksgiving meets Of the
Riding and Hunt Club and the Redland
chase more satisfactory for the fox
than for the field.
Beneath a beaming sun the riders
galloped for three hours over Maryland
countryside without once getting real
run.
The Riding and Hunt Club pack.
Maj. Wilfrid M. Blunt. M. F. H., was
cast near Glen. Md. at 8 am.
Approximately IS riders followed
them across country. Two hours later
few miles away at Norwood, Md, the
Redland hounds went out with an
equally large field behind Thomas T.
Mott, M. F. H.
Day Perfect for Riding.
Both gatherings of sportsmen and
SportSwOmen found that for those who
hunt to ride sl was a perfect day. The
turf was firm. the sun warm, and a
strong breeze swept over the hillsides
For those who ride to hunt, however
the same conditions spoiled everything
DrynesS. heat and wind combined to
ruin Scenting conditions. with the re-
suit that every fox that broke cover
easily eluded pursuit.
Within half an hour after the Rid
ing and Hunt Club members and guests
had left the meeting point, the hounds
started red fox, turned him back in
plain view of the field waiting on a
hilltop. and then lost the scent on the
dusty. hot ground Twice again during
the morning almost the same perform
ance was repeated, supplying the riders
With opportunities for some splendid
cross country gallops and go at fences,
but lacking the thrill of hot chase.
Stiff Hunting Country.
Their hounds carried the Redland
field into some OF the stiffest hunting
country encountered this season, and
more than one rider came a cropper
over the fences. There were no con-
sequential injuries, however. At one
time the Redland pack broke out a fox
and held on the trail for almost five
minutes. but thereafter bowed to the
handicaps of the weather
Among those who rode with Redland
were George Wilson, who acted as

.S64,0OO,Ol0 MOVIE
PROFIT IN ) YEARS
Probe Records Reveal Me.
teoric Rise and Collapse
of Harley L. Clarke.
BY The Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press,
Senate Stock Market Committee
records disclosed today how Harley L.
Clarke turned a small stake in the
movie business, estimated at about
sl,OOO,O0O, into a s65,00O000 paper
fortune within five years.
But his remaining holdings. If he
has any are worth only a fraction OF
that now.
Clarke, a Chicago utilities operator
was not even known in the movie
world in 1925. His only interest in
the industry was ownership of small
protector manufacturing company. BY
1880 he had become dominant figure,
as president of General Theaters
Equipment. Inc. a holding company
controlling the vast Fox theater prop
critics and other companies.
Rise in Few Years.
Senate committee investigators esti-
mate that Clarke's company was
worth less than half million dollars
in 1925. BY exchanges of stock and
an additional investment Of about half
a million, he owned within four or five
years G T. E. stock with market
value of S65 900 900.
His original company was the Acme
Motion Picture Protector Corporation.
In 1925 he formed the International
Protector Corporation. turning in his
Acme stock for huge block of securi-
ties in the new company.
The next year he paid 1921 900 for
preferred and common stock in the
National Theater Supply Co. and in
1927 put out $4,000 for 5000 shares
in the Theater Equipment Acceptance
Corporation.
In 1929 he organized the huge hold
ing company, G. T. E., obtaining a
million shares in exchange for his
company stock holdings in the other
three companies.
Investment Cut Stock.
At the same time. from money raised
by the bankers. Clarke retired the pre-
ferred stock of these companies in
cluding some he held, for which he re-
ceived about 100000 This cut his
1926 investment down nearly half.
When he formed G. T. E. Clarke
placed a value of $40 a share On the
common stock and sold it to the bankers
for that. At that price his 100000
share block was worth $40, 900, 900. Not
long afterwards it reached a market
price of S65.
But General Theaters is now in re-
ceivership Clarke is no longer presi-
dent. His stock, if he still holds it,
is nearly worthless today.

most Of the border line cases in the Dis

that the splendid services Of depart

FAIRNESS OF CHAIN
PRICES QUESTIONED.
Federal Trade Commission
Reports Greater Ability
to Charge Less.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The suggestion that the stronger
ability of chain stores to cut prices
under competitors may be an unfair
trade practice is contained in the
Federal Trade Commissions reports
on its investigation of the chain store
system of retail distribution.
This in only one of the recent major
findings of the study, undertaken by
congressional order as possible pre-
lude to legislative action, which dis
closes many factors of chain store
strength. The commission SO far has
made no specific recommendations.
Chains, the report show, attain their
prlce-cutting ability because they may
absorb losses of one store in another
which charges higher prices in a local
Ky where there is no price compe-
tition
Such variations" the report says,
"in the prices charged by different
stores of a chain may. of course, be
carried beyond the point of merely
constituting an advantage to the chain
.Lore system and become unfair method
OF competition in commerce"
Another part of he report shows
that on the average, chain store retail
selling prices are lower than those of
independents. The total price of 73
items in four Cincinnati chain grocers
was from $l4l2 to SLABS, while the
independents price was $15.27. Gross
profit of the chains ranged from 81 80
per cent to 22.07 per cent, compared
with 26.93 of the independents.
Chain store systems are shown to
have received better discounts from
manufacturers than indenepdentS or
co-operatives In 1880 in the drug trade
chains SIG per cent was allowed,
whereas wholesalers who sell to the
independents, got Ill per cent. In
the grocery trade the chain discount
was 202 per cent compared with 81
per cent for wholesalers. Chain stores
got five times better rate in tobacco
than wholesalers.
