CHANGES SMALL
ON BOND MARKET
Prime Corporates Steady
to Firm--Some Junior
Loans Erratic.
BY VICTOR EUBANK,

Associated Press Financial Writer.
NEW YORK, December 15.-The
bond market logged through today's
brief session without getting any
where in particular.
Prime investment issues maintained
q steady to firm tone, despite the fact
that banks and private subscribers
had to pay some $1,000, 100000 into
the Treasury for the new Govern
ment bonds and notes.
Secondary loans. as in recent deal
ings, were somewhat erratic, but, ex-
cept in scattered instances, no great
pressure was noticeable in these de-
partments. A few utilities improved
and the industrial composite edged
up to another new top for the year.
Losses and gains in the rail division
were rather evenly divided.
Transfers amounted to about the
same as last Saturday. They totaled
S5,869,000, par value, and the Stand
ard Statistics Co. average for so do
mestic corporate bonds was unchanged
at 66. On the week this average was
of one-tenth of point. The indus
trial: average showed a net gain Of
four-tenths of a point, that for the
rails was off six-tenths and the utili-
ties eased one-tenth.
Among the few gamers today of 1
to 2 or more points we're Tennessee

Butter and Egg
Markets Watching
u. S. Relief Plans
BY the Associated Press.

| BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, December 15.-The fu
ture course of Government relief &C
tivities In butter and eggs Is now tht
principal factor in shaping sentiment
in the Chicago produce market.
Butter and egg prices are sharply
higher than q year ago, but the spot
and futures markets for the time be-
ing are drifting. In butter the key
note is policy Of watchful waiting,
with all eyes on Uncle Sam. Gov
ernment buying for relief so far this
year has been much smaller than last
year, but what the trade wants to
know is whether future Government
participation Is to be expected.
Rumors have been fitting about the
merchantile exchange that the Gov
ernment might also buy eggs for re-
lief, but no hints have come from
Washington. Last year 400, 900 cases
were purchased for this purpose.
The Government bought 10000, 900
pounds of butter last year from Sep
tember l to February 1, and so far
this year only 16,000,00 pounds have
been taken by the relief corporation
from bidders for contracts. The most
recent Government contracts calling
for delivery of 10000 900 pounds are
believed to have terminated,
Movement OF butter has been good,
but what has been bothering trade
Is how much Of the movement shown
In statistical reports is due to Gov
ernment activity. Consumption trend
In the face Of high prices is a per-
picking point. Storage holdings are
larger than normal, If 1888 is not
counted. On December /, holdings
OF 81 ,023,000 pounds for the country
as whole were larger than on the
same date in six Of the last II years,
The figure. however, was somewhat
less than had been expected.

Crash Which Sank
Lightship Foreseen
In May 2 Warning:
Accuracy of Radio Bea.
cons Brings Up Ne,U
Peril at Sea.

Because of the accuracy of the
radio beacons with which the Nan
tucket lightship was equipped, the
danger of the vessels being sunk was
foreSeen some time ago by the Light
house Service of the Department OF
Commerce and resulted in special
notice to mariners.
The notice was sent out May 2 after
an Atlantic liner in approaching the
Nantucket Iightship in a dense fog
found the radio bearing so accurate
that the steamer scraped the side of
the lightship and carried away the
antenna yards.
The notice said other signals of the
lightship were not heard in time to
permit the liner to change its course
and the crew of the lightship did not
hear the steamers fog warning whistle
in time to give any special counter
warning.
Apparently the great advantages
of radio beacons have given
a false sense of security to naviga-
tors. which have caused the over
looking safeguards the no
tice read in part.
1T is of the highest Importance in
using radio bearings for approach
that at a sufficient distance before
reaching a lightship the course be
set to pass safely clear.

Uncle Of Girl Spikes Rumor 100000
Was Delivered.

TUCSON, Ariz., May is [P).-Carlos
G. RobleS, assistant Pima County at
torney and uncle of 6-year-old June
Robles, fatty denied today rumors
that the childs kidnapers had re-
ceived 100000 in ransom money
before the little girl was released from
her desert prison. Fifteen thousand
dollars had been demanded when the
child was kidnapped April Is.
We absolutely did not pay cent
Of ransom to any one" declared
Carlos
Il have that money" he said, as he
stood in the doorway of the home
of Bernabe Robles, Junes grandfather,
where all the family spent the night.
~ is right upstairs in this house,
where it has been all the time"
Clarence Houston, county attorney,
who with Carlos found the child yes
terday in a coffin like sheet iron re-
ceptacle sunk 3 feet in the ground ga
miles from Tucson, corroborated Car
los statement.
Money Never Changed Hands,"
THE money" said Houston. never
changed hands. To my personal
knowledge it is at this moment safe
in the home of Bernabe Robles."
1t was stated definitely that, up to
the moment of receipt by Houston
here yesterday afternoon of an
anonymous letter which had been dis
patched to Gov. B. B. Moeur's office
in Phoenix from Chicago, the family
had been holding itself in readiness to
live up to its offer to pay $4,000
privately should any contact man for
k1dnaperS appear.
Except for the first note received
two hours after the girls abduction
and demanding $4,000, no instruc-
tionS for payment of the money ever
were received, it was declared, and
the Chicago letter, which included
instructions for finding June buried
under cactus" did not involve
ransom.
Houston and Carlos Robles saw no
one on their desert search which
ended with June's release, they said,
to whom ransom might have been
paid, even had an exchange of money
been made prerequisite to the find
ing of June.
Little June was rescued yesterday
from the desert tomb where kidnapers
had kept her prisoner for 10 terrify-
ing days.
Physicians watched over her today
anxlously to ascertain how seriously
she may have been affected by an or
deal which might easily have killed
her; blazing days Of sun that burned
her olive skin, and chilly, lonely nights
in iron chains that gripped her slen-
der ankles.

Two victims of kidnapers-little
June Robles of Tucson, Ariz., and Will
liam F.. Gettle of Beverly Hills,
Calif.-have been rescued alive and
without the payment of ransom.
Their rescues came late yesterday

the 6-year-old Tucson child.
Gettle was found in house at La

NEW YORK, May 15.-Three men,
bers Of the crew of the Nantucket
lightShip were killed and four were
missing in collision today between
the lightship and the liner Olympic

First reports from the White Star
Steamship Co., which operates the
Olympic, placed the death list at
seven.
Seven members of the lightship's
crew we're picked up by lifeboats put
out by the liner.
The first report from the line offices
said four of the seven we're dead when
picked up, and that three died aboard
the ship.
Three Die on Ship.
Later the line Offices corrected its
casualty list to seven persons rescued,
three of whom died aboard the ship
and the remaining four survived. The
dead, in the corrected list, were w.
w. Perry, engineer: j. F. Richmond,
q sailor and A. Montiro, a cook.
The four alive were listed by the
line as George Braithwaite, master of
the lightship; C. E. Mosher, mate;
j. F. Perry, radio operator, and L. "
Roberts, an oiler.
The four missing were: 1. Pima,
cook; N. S. Rodricques, sailor: j.
Fortes, sailor, and E. B. George, a
sailor
The Olympic put out one motor
boat and two hfeboats to rescue the
men. It proceeded on toward New
York at l pm, about two and one
half hours after the collision.
Cutters Hurry to Scene.
After receiving wireless messages
telling of the accident Coast Guard
cutters hurried to the scene.
The lightship was an important
beacon for transatlantic ships 1t was
located 40 miles off the coast of
Massachusetts,.
Coast GuardSmen announced that
cutter, either the Argo or the Acush-
net, would take the lost vessels posi-
ton pending arrival of a relief light
ship which has been ordered to the
spot from Boston
A later message, intercepted by
Coast Guardsmen at Woods Hole,
Mass, gave brief story of the crash.
The skipper of the White Star liner
described the collision as having oc-
CURED ''on an angle"
When the crash appeared mevi-
table, the skipper reported, orders
were given for the Olympic to go full
speed astern. Nevertheless, the huge
ship ploughed broadside into the
small vessel.
The lightship ordinarily carried a
crew of six officers and 10 men, the
Coast Guard said. Built in 1880, it
Is 108, feet long and has 30-foot
beam.
1t was one of the most important
beacons on the North Atlantic Coast
first to be seen by transatlantic
liners bound for New England and
more southerly ports.
