Market Showed Good Gains in All Sections To-day
MOST POWERFUL
 CURRENT TESTED
25c.0OO Amperes ExplOd- ed Yesterday By Pitts
 field Electric Co

Pittsfield, Mass. July 11.-(UP) With an ear-splitting detonation that shook the three-story build. ing, an electrical current of 25O,. 900 amperes. most powerful yet known to science, was produced in General Electric company labora- tory here late yesterday. Their ears stuffed with cotton, a little group of 20 research engineers and guests heard but did not see the com bination fo man-made thunder and lightning, generated in connection with experiments designed to in- sure high tension light and power lines to the shock of natural light ming.
 So explosive was the blast that it had to be confined inside hol- low SS inches square. formed by 96 pyranol-fille cylinders. These stood on an insulated platform four feet above the floor.
 The experiment was conducted in the huge all-steel laboratory where the first million-volt flash of light ming was produced. and where a ,000,000-volt flash was generated about two years ago. The specta. tors stood on an insulated gallery two stories high while the 250,000- ampere current was being produced at lightning speed.
 Afterward they were able to see some results of the explosive cur rent-thick pieces of wire that had been vaporized. chunks of con- crete reinforced by steel that had been sheltered, and broad sheets of copper that were twisted into wires.

 National Lead scohed 8 1-2 points to 162, a new high since
 1880 and new tops for the year. or longer were made by Coca Cola,
 Brooklyn Manhattan Transit, Bor-
 den, American Sugar Refining,
 Hercules Powder, General Motors preferred, and Monsanto Chemical.
 Steel shares responded to a rise of 6 points or about 30 per cent
 in the country's rate of steel op-
 erations. Automobile production
 was reported holding up and that aided the steel as well as the mo-
 tor shares.
 Chemical issues were higher with Allied and Du Pont up more than point each. J. I. Case led the farm equipments up on the
 rise in grains. Mercantile issues were firm.
 American Telephone dipped fractionally on the report of its
 principal subsidiary, New York Telephone company showing loss in the first seven. days of July. of 5,930 stations, against a loss of S,S98 in 1883.
 Columbia Gas slipped down to II 1-2 from the previous close fol- iowin ga decline of nearly 2 points yesterday when the dividend was passed. It rallied, however, and failed to influence other utilities adversely. Railroad issues were | mixed, some of the Granger roads dipping on the low crop report which will mean lighter car load- ings totals

 New York, July 11-(UP)- Commodities featured today's mar kets in point of gain with all grains rising the limit permitted in sin- gle session-wheat cents a bush el, corn 4 cents, oats 3 cents and rye 5 cents. .,
 Stocks firmed in early all divi- sions but volume was relatively light.
 Cotton at one time was up $1.25 a bale. while substantial gains were made in rubber, silver, hide and silk futures.
 Grains responded to the govern ment crop estimates which set the wheat crop at new low since 1893 and the others except corn the low est in 30 years Corn was the smallest since, 1880. Grain prices shot up and then trading prac- tically came to a standstill as hold CTS refused to let their grain go.
 Stock trading was relatively &C., tive in the early dealings but later it quieted down. Prices were firm except the wet stocks which were adversely influenced by lifting of import restrictions on liquor.
 National Distillers dropped to a new low for the year as did Amer ican Commercial Alcohol. Schenley lost nor ethan a point. Silver is- sues were mixed with Cerro De Pasco and American Smelling down and U. S. Smelling and Howe

CHICAGO PRICES CLIMB.

Chicago, July 11-(UP)-Trad-
 CTS rushed to the buying side on
 the Chicago Board of Trade today
 and sent prices climbing to the fluctuation limit. The occasion was a report on crop condition by the United
 States government that indicated the shortest crop in more than 30 years.
 Orders to buy wheat poured in-
 to the big board of trade building
 at the foot of La Salle street from
 the four corners of the earth.
 Cables and domestic telegraph
 wires brought in the flood of buy
 ing orders.
 At the opening traders were poised about the terraced wheat pit, and the first sales were chalk
 ed up at from four to five cents a
 bushel higher than yesterdays
 close. Trading was at terrific pace an dthe market kept bump ing against the ceiling of trading regulations.
 Under board of trade limita- tions no more than a cent fiutua- tion is permitted in wheat in a single days trading. Toward noon old wheat prices were: July 92 3-S; September 93 3-S, and December 94 3-4. Other grains were substantially higher with wheat.

ADOLF HITLER
 EXPLAINS HIS
 RUTHLESSNESS
Forced to Do It That Dis= aster Might Be Spared
 in Europe

Paris, July 11-UP)-Ruthless suppression of the storm troop re- volt was necessary to prevent a disaster in Europe whose effects would have been felt in the United States. Chancellor Adolf Hitler O: Germany said in an interview pub lished today in the Paris Herald. European edition of the New York Herald Tribune. The interview was obtained by Prof. Alfred J Pearson, of Drake University, Des Moines, Iowa, and former minister to Poland. He saw Hitler at Berlin last Friday. He told the Herald that he was tremendously impress sed by the Nazi leaders sincerity, frankness and forcefulness.
 Pearson asked Hitler what he might tell Americans about the storm troop revolt. he said, and Hitler, hammering on his desk with his fist, his eyes flashing de- claimed:
 "Tell them the truth, and noth. ing but truth. We have nothing to conceal.
 Tn acting as I did I had no alternative. l had to remove traitors within our party in order to be true to my oath of office. They had to be placed where they were unable to do harm and thus save Germany from the tragedy of civil war.
 T had to act with tirmness and despatch and sacrifice a few con- spirators rather than to permit the nation to be plunged into the vortex of civil strike"
 Germany, he said, was threaten ed by disorder of such great eX- tent that it would have meant civil war and would have spread its chaos to densely populated Europe. Business conditions in the United States would have been affected by it." he said. little, spoke with bitterness of the wild rumors circulated in Europe and the United States by some agencies in the excitement of the crisis, and with equal bitterness of the men who plotted against him.

She chose death John, IT, and Glenn, 16, have been helpless for years from hereditary paralysis. Doc tors believed that through surgery they could be made to develop female characteristics which would prolong their lives. Otherwise they are almost certain to die within a year or two. The rare paralysis has always proven fatal heretofore before its victim reached IS.
 NO, cant consent" Mrs Dietrich said. II appreciate the suggestions and help of the med ical profession, but now that they are through with their suffering will let God handle the matter and not doctors who couldn't help them when they were younger"
 Medical experts had suggested that sterilization and injection of ovarian serum might serve to emasculate the boys. Because the strange malady apparently affects only male offsprings of female members of families calculated to retard it's continuation.
 During it's early stages the par alysis Is extremely painful. The pain for John and Glenn has sub- sided.
