ROOSEVELT ENDS
 FISH TRIP TO-DAY
Presidents Ship Due at ClippertOn l s m d;
 Tanned By Suns
BY FREDERICK A. STORM { United Press Staff Corrcspondcnt)

Aboard USS New Orleans, July -(UP)-President Roosevelt, in the cruiser Houston, was due at tiny Clipperton Island to-day for probably his last days fishing un- til he reaches the Hawaiian Islands late this month.
 The president spent a quiet day yesterday, as the Houston and New Orleans sped out into the Pacific. There was no word from him re- garding the San Francisco general strike.
 During the day the two cruisers | engaged in minor maneuvers.
 Burned deep brown by tropit suns, the president was looking ir rugged health. A lover of the sea he seemed to be having the time of his life on his 15,000 mile vaca- tion cruise.
 As fisherman, the president Is persistent. He likes to fish in any weather, but does not like to return to the Houston without a catch. He takes care of routine White House affairs, undnergoes a daily period of exercise with Com- mander Ross Mcintyre, the White House physician, and afterward usually goes to the forward super structure deck to read. His two sons, John and Franklin, Jr, are often in his company.

BOBBY CONNOR.
 FOUND ALIVE

(Continued from Page 1.) Bobby in the arms of his mother.
 Although Bobby was covered with dirt, he appeared to be happy and refused a drink of water, in- dicating that if he had been kid- naped his abductors had cared for him well.
 Kidnapping, death under the wheels of an automobile and many other theories had been advanced but none of the federal officers, police or volunteers who had pressed the search could have be- lieved they would find the baby alive in the woods only q stones throw from the spot where he disappeared.
 Bobby's pink romper suit and white shoes were smeared with mud. Dirt and mud covered his hands and face. His blonde, fuzzy hair was filled with dirt and tangl- ed into hundred knots. The tip of his nose-bruised in a fall just be- fore he disappeared was mud blackened. His face and arms were scratched, but first examination show, no other injuries.

 Bobby later was taken to hos pital for examination. He did not appear to be hungry.
 "Denkel and I had hunch. said Sergeant Hogan. We decided not to string along with all the others, but to start out on q little private expedition of our own. We started out this afternoon looking for a spct in the woods where the brush and briers had not been tramped down.
 We found a spot that looked like it hadn't been searched and we started to move it. worked through about 30 feet and then came upon small opening. The lrush had been tramped down and there were fresh tracks. as if some one had entered the thicket there
 we started to follow this trail and we hadn't gone more than a few hundred feet when we came suddenly into U clearing. There. be- fore our eyes, was the baby sittinr on q stone. smiling at us. He had a happy grin all over his face. Ike he was waiting for somebody tv show up any minute.'

 There was a telephone call re- garding uniforms.
 You're putting your guards in- to uniforms?" Bergoff was asked.
 Yeah, begining to. I'm getting everything cleared for trouble. Last week I was in Los Angeles, Port land, Frisco, Minneapolis, Chi cago, Milwaukee, Cleveland and Akron. I'd be in Chicago right now but I had to fly back here for a certain job that may take 4,O0O men. I'm putting one or two key men in every big city in the coun- try waiting for the trouble to break. Within four or five hours any of them can have 800 men on the job. They can hold things till we get our army moving.
 Going To Spread
 This thing is going to spread I know the signs. We've had more strikes in the last year than ever before. We're going to have ten times as many in the coming year When the NRA passes out we're going to have more strikes thar any time in history"
 PICK UP TAKE 3 A b B 1s Clubman's Dream New York, July 17.-(UP)-- Through the eyes of a fictitiou, San Francisco clubman of 1 years ago, Jack London portrayer q general strike in the California city, the vividness of which has been but partly borne out by the present difficulties.
 The revolutionary writer's story of hardship, hunger and industrial desertion was fostered by the ideal of Eugene V. Debs, and was en- titled 'The Dream of Debs". The time of the strike was approxi- mately 1850.
 q awoke fully an hour before my customary time," London's wealthy clubman related. This in itself was remarkable [. something was the matter"
 All was quiet the hum of the great city was strangely silent in the ten succeeding minutes not a surface car passed. Perhaps it was street railway strike, was my thought. But no, the silence was ttoo profound.
 "1t was a. general, nationwide strike.
 There was no cream for his cof- fee, no fresh rolls for breakfast. the clubman learned. There was no gasoline for his automobile; he walked to the club and found no olives for his cocktail.
 The organized workers, planning and hoarding food and supplies for months, were prepared for the strike. The wealthy and the slums dwellers grew desperate. Tailored

 New York, July 17.-(UP)-An- other drab five hour session on the New York stock exchange to-day found prices slipping irregularly lower with no incentive for trad ing.
 The San Francisco strike situa- ton, plus labor difficulties in other parts of the country, still general ed a nervousness to stock traders. In addition railroad reports were not reassuring, rumors of liquor price cuts caused selling, industrial reports gave no spark to revive buying life and trade indices gen. erally were colorless.
 Only in the commodity markets were there any interest. Cototn, after undergoing a rather heavy wave of profit taking at the open- ing, came back to show gains of 75 cents bale with prices at sea sons high. Grains improved with wheat more than cent a bushel higher on rather good buying de- mand. Bonds were irregular with speculative issues, those taking their tone from the stock market reacting.
 IHe SUCK llSL WdS SpOlteu' T hilll Morris advanced to new high for a decade with a gain of 2B points to 33R. Hercules Powder ran up to S19s for new high and j gain of 1% points.
