NEW YORK. January 13.-The mys-
terious stock market operations of the
Wolf of Wall Street have been ended

The body of David Lamar. whose ac-
tivities in finance-oftentimes shady
gained him the sobriquet years ago, was
found dead today in a hotel room he
engaged eight days ago.
Lamar had been dead about "a hours
He was IS years old.
The aura of secrecy about his last
days rivaled many Of the incidents in
his career In stocks.
Death Due to Heart.
Hotel officials recalled nothing Of his
stay in the hotel. There had been no
calls from his room for two days. The
manager went to the room today. forced
the door and found Lamar dead on the
floor. his body clad in a nightshirt.
Preliminary examinations indicated
his death was caused by heart disease
A drug store clerk recalled that a man
answering Lamar's description frequent
ly within the last few days purchased
medicine to ease heart pains.
In 1925. when Lamar was 81. he mar
ried in Connecticut. Edna French, an
actress, who then was 81. There was
no word available of her whereabouts
tonight.
Lamar, who was in the clutches of
the law numerous times. was not known
to persons of prominence in Wall Street
His operations received publicity gener-
ally only when a warrant was issued
charging him with larceny or swim
ding.
In the financial circles that knew him
only as a mysterious figure. he was re-
garded as a market scalper," whose
operations were petty in nature.
Lamar's police record was long.
Fled TO Mexico.
In the World War days he was in
dicted by the Federal Government for
seeking to halt shipments Of arms to the
allies. the specific charges being that he
attempted to incite workers to strike
in munitions plants in New Jersey. He
was tried and sentenced to serve year
in jail.
Then began game Of hide and seek
between Lamar and Federal agents
/ He jumped an appeal bond and fled to
Mexico by airplane, subsequently sur
rendering himself and serving out the
sentence in Trenton, N. j.
Early in the second decade he was
indicted for impersonating a Repre-
sentative in Congress in Washington
The Government said his plan was to
get on the floor of Congress and make
a speech to influence the price of steel
For this he served two years in the
Federal prison at Atlanta.
| Lamar was q handsome man, tall and
broadshouldered, with graying hair
He had a pleasing personality and was
easy of manner.
In later years Lamar was arrested
| frequently, but always refuted the
charges. A year ago Queens man
charged him with mulcting s400 in a
stock swindle. He was freed by a jury
A few months later another warrant
charged Lamar with defrauding two
men of 81 200 in negotiations to buy
crude rubber and run the price up
| Again he was freed.

M|NNEAP OILS
Governor Olson Makes Threat
To Smash At Organization Of
Employers.

MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 4. U.P)-
Two picketing truck drivers were
shot and wounded severely by a
non-union driver today in new
wave of the violence which has
filled 10 days of paralyzing trans
portation strike
George Schirts, %, was shot in
the head and Earl Collins, 36, was
shot in a leg. Physicians said
neither was in dangerous condition.
MINNEAPOLIS, Aug. 4. Gov.
Fred B. Olson announced today
that he will smash tomorrow with
all the power of military dictator
at the recalcitrant employers of
5000 striking truck drivers.
At midnight tomorrow, the gov
ernor said, he will rule all but the
most essential trucks off Mime
apolis streets.
He had threatened to make the
order effective today but delay
was requested by the Rev. Francis
j. Haas and E. H. Dunnigan,
federal mediators. Both said the
strike which provoked the ultima
tum may be ended before that
time.
Olson warned both union leaders
and their employers, however, he
would not alter further the en-
barge which would leave $4,000
persons with transportation facil-
tiles for only the barest necessities
Only trucks carrying bread, ice,
milk and gasoline, trucks in inter-
state commerce and trucks whose
owners subscribe to the socalled
"Haas-Dunnigan" proposal for set
Ting the strike will be permitted
to use Minneapolis streets.
Employers were warned the ban
will not be lifted until striking
drivers obtain decent" terms. Un-
ion leaders likewise were told ma
tional guardsmen and a provost
court will mete severe punishment
to anyone violating any martial
rule.
The governors new ultimatum
followed on the heels Of a night
raid on offices of the Citizens
Alliance, secret membership
group of business men which has
backed the employers advisory
committee in fighting the union.
Ten picket guardsmen, acting
under personal orders of the gov
ernor seized documents and rec
ords of the alliance and held the
offices for four hours. Records
were turned over to accountants
for analysis.
Olson said that evidence gained
corroborates my charge the Citiz-
ems Alliance clique dominates and
controls actions of the employers
advisory committee; that it main
tains stool pigeons in various labor
unions and discloses that the So
called law and order league was
conceived by and directed by the
same clique"

LAS VEGAS, New, Aug. A. tU.D
Intermittent sprinkling here dur
ing the morning and overcast skies
at noon promised today heavy
fall of rain along this wing of
the Colorado river.
Considerable rain fell early to-
day in Boulder City, and prospects
were for heavier fall later. =
Welcome news in the above dis
patch which promises a certain
rise in the flow OF the Colorado
river over the weekend was
strengthened by telegram re-
ceived at irrigation district head
quarters from the Yuma office of
the weather bureau earlier in the
day. This states that thunder show
ers in western Colorado promise
to continue over the night with
rainfall light SO far.
The valley has been threatened
with downpour all day but by
press time it had not materialized.
Massed clouds were piled up on the
horizon on all sides and rumors
were rife all day of heavy rains
in the San Diego mountains and
in Lower California. Storms inter-
fered with electric service in the
valley, the power flickering off and
on several times during the morn
ing.
Other United Press dispatches
bring stories of cloudbursts and
otherwise heavy rains in the Salt
River Valley and elsewhere along
the Gila river basin. Nogales and
other parts of Sonora were also
visited by heavy rains, according
to these dispatches.
While readings for the Colorado
at Grand Canyon were not received
at the irrigation district offices
this morning, readings for other
points along the river indicate a
drop in the flow. At Yuma the
mark was 81 second feet; So for
the spill and $50 at the diversion.
1t was pointed out, however, that
should the rainfall noted in the
upper basin continue, these read
ings will be considerably higher
next week.
Efforts to ascertain the extent
of the storms in the San Diego
mountains and north of the val
ley on the inland route were un-
availing.
