Pecora Fails to Tell Full
Story of Bankers
Earnings.
BY RALPH ~HENDERSHOT-
Times Special Financial Writer.

INSTEAD Of reaping a harvest, as
a Ferdinand Pecora, counsel for
the senate banking committee, i'm
piled in figures revealed this week,
members Of the New York Stock Ex-
change, generally speaking, have
been hard pressed all through the
depression to make ends meet at
ali. It vas a fancy bit Of footwork
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1934-05-05

amount to around $500 900 900. Some
members, to be sure, have made
large profits, but that is more or
less true in all lines Of business.
Many other members have been
obliged to sell their seats, and
many others are so much in hook
with the banks that 1t IS a ques-
ton whether they ever will be able
TO get their heads back above water.
The figures released by MI. Pc
cora probably sounded very impress
sive to those who have little or no
idea of the amount of capital IN
volved in the stock brokerage busl-
ness and the risks which must be
taken. but they do not look so big
when it is considered that the gross
earnings Of all members during the
period discussed we're considerably
less than half as much as the net
sales of the General Motors Cor
poration during the same period. 1t
is beginning to look as though not
all Of the eggs laid in Washington
these days will stand the light OF
the candle.

TINE New York Stock Exchange
4 finally has listed the bonds of
the Home Owners Loan Corpora
ton. 1t took the institution a long
time to get around to make the
listing. but it probably felt that a
free and open market hardly could
be established until a fairly large
amount Of the bonds were out
standing in the hands Of the public.
The listing should help a great
deal in working out the real estate
situation, particularly in view OF the
fact that the price of the bonds IS
above par. and mortgage holders
will not be obliged to take losses
throught their acceptance. AS a
matter of fact. the way the situation
seems to be working out, holders OF
good mortgages have become among
the most favored creditors in the
country today. They probably will
threaten foreclosure at the least
provocation in order to turn their
mortgages into cash.
A CCORDING to Moody's spot

putting prices up to the 1926 level.

Silver Shares Strong
Utilities as a group were moving,
contrary to the trend in the gen.
eral market most of the day. The
New York state utilities were un-
able to respond to the firm trend
in the remainder Of the list on eX-
pectation Of higher taxes and rate
cuts. Others we're barely steady.
Late in the day it was reported
the Bell Telephone system contin-
ued to show a net gain in stations
during April, continuing the upward
trend which started last September
and being the eighth month to show
a consecutive gain.
Silver issues were bid up in the
early trading, but they gave up
part Of the grains later. At the
high United States Smelling sold
at 117a, up 3A, and American
Smelling Al, up IL.
Allied Chemical declined below
the previous close near the end of

of the day. Dupont also was lower.
Steel issues moved in a narrow
range. U. S. Steel touched 47A, up
a point, and then receded toward
the previous close. Bethlehem reg
iStered a small loss.
American Sugar Refining again
was in demand at rising prices to
feature the sugar division. Spiegel-

59&. when the April sales were
made public. They showed a gain
Of 169 per cent over April. 1888.
Later the issue ran into profit-tak-

Car Loadings Gain
Rails were firm on the weekly
a loadings report showing an in
crease of 19,201 cars over the pre-
ceding week. Small gains were
made by American Can. Interna-

Business news included a fairly

WIDOWS DEATH
THREAT Barred
IN GENTRY CASE
Woman With Whom Slain
Man Lived Faces Probe in
Mystery Killing.
81 United Press

~ HiffN fffNs
JEFFERSON. Wis, July 3-An
alleged death threat" made oy
Mrs. Carrie Gill, SO, Jefferson
widow. against Earl Gentry, Az In
dianapolis, slain public enemy
spurred the investigation into
Gentry's death today.
The charge that Mrs. Gill last
November threatened to kill Gentry
was scrawled in what officials SAID
was Gentry's handwriting across the
face of a will executed in March
1881. The will named Mrs. Gill as
executrix and sole beneficiary
Across the will was written,
'nulled and void by Earl Gentry,
Nov. 28. SO. When I was threaten
to be killed by Carrie Gill. Said she
would have it done on the high
way
Mrs. Gill. with whom Gentry had
lived for the last seven years, was
to be questioned further today.
Gentry came here after he was
acquitted on a charge of participate
ing in the murder of Madge Ober-
hotter at Noblesville, Ind in 1925.
At that time Gentry was bodyguard
for D. c. Stephenson, grand kleagle
of the Indiana Ku-KluX Khan, who
now is serving life term in prison
on the murder charge.
Search for the gun with which
Gentry was killed early Sunday was
renewed today with the recovery of
an Evansville, Ind, hotel towel from
the Rock river here. Gentry had
visited at Evansville recently. Sheriff
Joseph LANCE said the towel may
have been wrapped around the re-
volver used in the killing.
Miss Josephine Probst, 26, FIT. At
kinson school teacher and niece OF
Mrs. Gill, with whom Gentry last
was seen alive Saturday night, also
was to be questioned further today.
Sheriff Lange said he had learned
that Donald Probst, II, brother of
Josephine, had Gentry arrested sew
eral months ago on an assault and
battery charge. The youth said
thai Gentry beat him after accusing
him of informing Mrs. Gill that
Gentry had been going out with
Mis- Probst. Gentry's fine was paid
by Albert Probst, father Of the
school teacher and of her brother
who brought the complaint.
Gentry was found dead in his au-
tomobile parked near Rock river
late Sunday. The car had been
parked at that spot since early in the
morning, but the body was slumped
down on the floor and passersby
we're not aware of what had hap
pened.
