SHIP CAUGHT IN
 TYPHOON IS SAFE
Oil Tanker With Al on Board Is Making Way
 to HarbOr

San Francisco, Oct 24-CUP)-- Battered by a South Pacific Typ hoon the oil tanker Larry Doheny was reported today making her way slowly under her own power to Guam for inspection and tenn porary repairs. Messages from the ship to Radio Marine Corporation here brought word of the safety of the ship and its crew of Al af- ter narrowing experiences.
 The winds carried part of the bridge away, made the steering gear useless and disabled the steam and electric generating plants. For a time it was feared the tanker would sink and carry all abroad to death, for rescue ships, answer ing the sos flashed yesterday morning, were more than day s distance when help was asked.
 Enroute the Larry Doheny prob- ably win meet the U. s. s. Gold star, closest of the rescue ships but still 200 miles away when con1- munication with the tanker was re-esta blished. The Goldstar is ex- pected to escort the disabled ship 10 Guam.

MORE CHARTS TO
 CONVICT NSULL
Government Already Has Handed Him One Blow:
 l7 Defendants

Chicago, Oct A. (UP)-EXpert accounants of the department of justice marshalled a new array of financial charts to-day against Samuel Insult and 16 others ac- tors, seeking to prove that stock cused of swindling 500,000 inves- of corporation securities company was sold as a git-edged investment when the concern was insolvent.
 Admission of the complicated charts into evidence was the most severe blow yet struck at the group of IT defendants.
 On December 31. 1890, accord ing to testimony of Alfred B. Sweeney, the accountant who spent two years preparing the chart, cor poration securities company was insolvent. Liabilities of the, firm amounted to S1.06 for each share of the common stock then selling on the market at s15, he said.
 At the time company crashed. with the rest of the $2,000, 100000 Insull. empire. the charts showed each share of common stock was liable for $1S.75 of company debts.
 During all the time that assets of the company were disappearing and liabilities piling up, Prosecu- etor Leslie J. Salter told the jury, "the defendants were continuously keeping up representations to the public that the company was sound and the stock a good buy"

WILD RIDE TAKEN BY STUDENT ON 
 RAILWAY TRAIN
Girl Grabbed Train After It Started and Clung
 With One Hand

Boston, Oct 24-(UP)-A rail- road safety rule probably saved the life of Miss Christine Carter, 20-yearSold student of Glen Road, Wilmington, today when she was rescued from a precarious perch after a wild ride. of mile, cling ing to the side of a Boston & Maine express train. This express makes most of it's trip at 6O- mile clip.
 Miss Carter had tried to board the all-vestibuled train on the op- posite side from the station plat form, just before it pulled out of Silver Lake station, Wilmington, for a nonstop run to Boston. The doors on that side are not opened at the station, and, as the train gathered speed, Miss Carter chung to a ''grab-rail" with one hand, while with the other she clutched her school books.
 A railroad rule provides that crews of passing trains shall look over the other for possible trouble. Thus, the rear hagman on the Bos- ton- bound train received violent 'stop" motions firm the crew i an unbound train. He grabbed the emergency brake valve and as the train stopped the crew started to look for the trouble that had caus- ed the frantic signals from the northbound train.
 They found a frightened young woman, still clutching her school books, hanging on the "off side of the inbound express.
 Railroad officials said that the girl probably would have been forced to loose her hold as the train reached its maximum speed enroute to Boston station.

 Expansion of output nas &c., cured in. such major industries as lumber, newsprint, motor vehicles, rubber goods, minerals, artificial silk, textiles, and coal, while car .oadings. bank clearings and bank debits make favorable comparison With those of last year.

SCANDAL IN CASE
 OF VANDERBILTS
Husband of MarchiOness Hires Attorney to De-
 fend Name OfWife

New York, Oct 24-UP)- Counsel for the Marchioness of Milford Haven, whom a witness in the current Vanderbilt Whitney court feud described unduly friendly with Mrs Gloria Morgan Vanderbilt, began a study today of testimony in the case to determine what action to take to life the veil of scandal from her name. x ;a
 The marchioness was authorized to procure a copy of the testimony after Theobald Mathew, a London solicitor sent here by the Marquess of Milford Haven to protect his 'wife's name, made a formal. call on Supreme Court Justice John F Carew. Mathew was accompanied to the judges chambers by repre- sentatives of an American law firm.
 Meanwhile. Mrs Harry Payne Whitney, who is seeking to retain custody of her 10-year-old niece, Gloria Vanderbilt on the ground that the child's mother is unfit to rear her, returned to the witness stand for the, second day or cross examination by Nathan Burkan, counsel for Mrs Vanderbilt.
 Burkan said he probably would keep Mrs Whitney on the stand to- morrow and the day after, as well. Then he will begin presentation os his own case, which is expected to include an exploration into Mrs Whitney's private life, similar to that conducted into Mrs Wander bilt's. Burkan is known to have called as witnesses several per- sons who were familiar with the pre-war bohemianism which Mrs Whitney was said to have made fashionable in Greenwich Village where she now maintains an art studio.

REGARDS WERE

 DOWN RAPIDLY
Balloon Landed in Tree Which Broke Force of
 the Landing

cadiz, O., Oct 24.-UP)-Jean and Jeanneste Piccard, recovered i. from balloon ascension that took them 10 miles above the earth.s surface, packed their dozens of scientific instruments to-day, con- fident their flight would contribute much new knowledge concerning the nature of the stratosphere and cosnic rays.
 Their instruments were un- harmed in a rough landing near here yesterday. The huge balloon that lifted them in their globai gondola from the earth at Dear born, Mich., airport yesterday morning had been ripped to shreds by sightseers and souvenir hunt CTS. The gondola was not badly damaged.
 Both the Piccards considered the flight great success. They fell short of equalling the altitude rec ord by at least mile and half, but they had intended to get only 10 miles which which they con- sidered high enough to study cos- mic rays. Their exact maximum height and the complete scientific results of the flight will not be known until all the instruments are checked, and that may take week or more.
 The balloon came down in a tree which broke the force of a rapid descent. Before Mrs Piccafd would describe her experience, she sent a message 10 fheir children, Paul, 10, and Donald, g., of their safe lar ding. The children had watched the .akeoff.
 T was nervous right after the takeoff," she said. "The wind bumped the gondo,a around great deal, but before long we began to as, end rapidly and when We got int1t he upper air it was very calm. Ws hardly seemed to be moving. But I guess that sometimes we must have been drifting at 90 miles an hour or more.
 We gained altitude rapidly, or course, as soon as we got above the clouds and the heat of the sun began to expand the hydrogen gas On the way down we broke through a cloud ceiling again at about 2,000 feet, and then gas gas began to contract and we fell rauidiy. l threw off all the ball. last 1 could and was much too bugy to be nervous. We hit with quite a bump"
 The Piccards will renal nhere several days, supervising salvage of the iwreckage. Piccard is broth CT of Prof Auguste Piccard, Bel gian scientist, who made pioneer stratosphere flights in Europe.

Wool Market

Boston, Oct 24-(UP)-The movement of wool in the Boston market continues clover that last week, according to today's report of the U. s. agriculture depart ment.
 Bids are. being made, however, on numerous lots of sizable vol- ume, but prices offered are in many cases below fairly firm asking prices unchanged from last week. Despite the quieter trend or sales, the undertone of the market is quite hopeful because of the active bidding and . strengtening of ask ing prices in several large produc- ing centers. Texas wools in the country are reported to be selling quite freely at 65-67 c, secured ba- sis, delivered east, on strictly combing and at 62-63 c on French combing types of twelve months fools.
