New York Stocks

NEW YORK, July 81. W.H =
Heaviness of rail issues, with several
again recording new 1884 lows. gave
lower tone to stock market prices
today in a fairly active two hours
session.
There was nothing in the news
to account for the heaviness, which
was a prolongation of yesterdays
break. but there was fair amount
of liquidation. Some brokers re-
ported overnight margin calls had
been fairly heavy, resulting in some
selling in the opening hour today.
Renewed strike violence, this
time in Minneapolis, again called
attention of Wall street to labor
difficulties in various sections of
the country and added to the bear
ishness which has been developing
in the last 48 hours. Industrial in
dications today did nothing to re-
leve this feeling despite a slight
pickup in steel operations in the
Youngstown district.
Cotton came back after its tech
nical setback yesterday and had
gains of around 81 a bale. Wheat
rallied to show fractional gains as
the drought continued in the mid
west. Bonds were irregularly lower
with U. S. government issues irreg-
ular.
New 1884 lows included CONNER

RED RAIDS
CON NT|NUED

SAN FRANCISCO, July 81. U.H
both legal and legal,
on allegd Communists continued
last night and early today in va
rious parts of California.
In San Francisco 65 more sus-
poets were arrested over night and
held on Olgrancy charges.
In Stockton, rs milee away, 500
citizens wrecked Communist head
quarters. One arrest was made
there.
The Stockton raiding party origi-
nally numbered about 10 and form
ed at tte Civil Memorial audito-
rum prepared to break up a Com
irnunist meeting in the courthouse
square. Each of the 10 members
of the crowd carried two foot clubs.
Police spoiled the plan to raid
the meeting, however, when they
arrived first and broke it up.
The lhiding party then moved
towards Communist headquarters,
its numbers growing each block un-
til fully 500 were in the crowd.
The Communists gathered there,
fled. The party completely wrecked
the meeting place, which formerly
was a United Brethren church. The
windows were broken and furniture
demolished.
Just at the height of the raid
party of Stockton longshoremen
q yrivod of peorhv COy,n nyo,fpict
street meeting bent on breaking it
up. A part of the first raiding
party approached for the same pur-
pose. Not recognizing each other,
the evening almost ended in bat
tie between the two .raiding parties.
AT Sacramento large crowd of
alleged Communists was rounded
up by police but when officers
questioned them for possible depor-
tation they found only two aliens
In the group, both Chinese.

OPEN SEASON
ON RADICALS

SACRAMENTO. July 81. W.P)-
An "open season" on agitators
was declared today by local auth
critics as federal officials were
called in to investigate the citizen
ship of "a alleged Communists
arrested In raids here.
Stating they intend Kidding this
district of every Communist or
agitator, Police Chief William H.
Hallanan and Sheriff Donald Cox
announced the raids were only
preliminary steps and that orders
for the arrest of all radicals or
Communistic sympathizers had been
issued.
Preliminary examination of those
in custody revealed only two sus-
pected of being aliens, according
to Inspector F. o. Seidle of the
United States immigration bureau.
Both were Chinese, and will face
deportation proceedings If found
not to be citizens, officers said.
The alleged Communists were
rounded up following demands by
a committee of SO prominent busi-
ness men that action be taken in
order to prevent possible bloodshed
by vigilantes who, it was learned,
planned to descend on the radical
headquarters last night. Fourteen
men and two women were arrest
ed at the Communist headquarters
and school, while eight men were
brought in by sheriff's deputies
from shacks of unemployed workers
outside the city limits.
Included in the group were Pat
Chambers, organizer for the Can
merry and Agricultural Workers In
dhstrial union, which fomented
numerous strikes in the Sacra-
mento, San Joaquin and Imper-
ial Valleys; Caroline Decker, Sec
retary Of the union; Albert Hou-
gardy, Communist congressional
candidate, and Martin Wilson,
representative here of the inter-
national labor defense league. All
were held on technical charges of
criminal syndicalism and vagrancy
and bail was placed at $1,000 on
each charge.

He retained his belief that the
longshoremen would not accept
arbitration, particularly of the
closed shop issue.
Oakland teamsters, who made
their return to work conditional on
not being required to handle hot
cargo" were expected to follow the
lead of the San Francisco team
sters. When they do the port will
be entirely open and shipping can
resume.
The third remaining strike, that
of the Market Street Railways or
ganized employees, showed little
change. The company operated 100
cars on 10 lines yesterday. It ex-
pected to put many more into
service today, but it doubted that
full service could be resumed be-
fore next week.
Meantime there was talk of with
drawing the national guard from
the Embarcadero and the whole
sale district where 1000 guards
men are on duty. Governor Frank
F. Merriam, however. in Sacrament

until requested to do so by Mayor

CONVICT GIVES TRUE STORY
OFLINDBERGH KIDNAPPING CASE

following denial of his appeal from
an income tax conviction.
At the time of the kidnapping,
Capone offered to aid authorities
in finding the child and said he
had friends" who could trace the
kidnapers.
The information has been turned
over to federal authorities, it was
learned.
Pawelczyk said he met Nash
while both were in Leavenworth
prison. At that time, according to
the story, he and Nash commune
Gated by means of a code which
later appeared on note left at
the Lindbergh home.
Pawelczyk named as the actual
kidnapers Nash. one Bob Sandwich
and a woman friend of the latter
named only as '"Tessie."
Sandwich, he said, killed the
Lindbergh child with a blow over
the head after a tire had blown
out on their car and they had be-
come panic stricken.
According to the convict's story,
Capone conceived the plot in a
desperate attempt to win his free
dom. If that were true, detectives
pointed out, the comparatively low
ransom demand of $4,000 which
puzzled authorities might be ex-
planned.
Pawelczyk, sentenced in Chicago,
is serving one to 10 year term
for manslaughter.

What do you care?" asked Bert.
"You are going to the dance, any
way. Haven't you heard about the

are so high and mighty about it that
they almost never ask any nurses.
Sure, nurses are all right for their
informal parties, but come the big
celebration and they invite girls from
the city, and the more debutantish
the better. Snobs! There will only
be two or three from the whole train

was showered with amazed congratu-
