Stephens Has Edge Ouer Bilbo
In Race for Seat in Senate
Disabled american Veterans Deny
Former Governors Claim of
Promised Support.

erling telegraphed the adjutant that
your position is appointive and your
duties are secretarial and you there
fore will await the action of the
officials Of your organization" 1t is
will support Stephens, although he
has not admitted it during his denial
that the leaders would support Bilbo.
Teachers Weld Power.
For many years. Willard F. Bond,
State superintendent of education, has
built up a powerful political group
of teachers in Mississippi. For many
years he was an ardent supporter Of
Bilbo. But Bond and Bilbo split
when the latter was Governor. At
that time Bilbo threatened to run
Mrs. Bilbo against Bond. The threat
never materialized and the split never
healed. Bond supported Representa-
tive Collins. 1t is generally believed
that the majority of the teacher vote
in Mississippi will go for Senator
Stephens.
The withdrawal of State Senator
John Lumpkin against Representative
Bill Colmer is looked upon as a break
for Bilbo. Lumpkin gave as his rea-
sons lack of finance and the lead Of
5000 votes he would have to over
come. Both are known facts. But, of
the three Gulf Coast counties of the
Colmar district Senator Stephens led
in three, one the home county of Col
mer. These were normally Bilbo coun-
ties, although it is certain that the
Collins vote cut into Bilbo strength.
The attack of Bilbo in his speeches
on Federal office holders, naming John
Kennedy and other political leaders
who have strength in Coast counties,
shows that a bitter fight will be waged
in that section. All other counties
in the Colmer district went for Bilbo.
The labor vote in Mississippi Is neg
ligible in number, but could hold the
balance of power if the vote is close.
OF the II counties touching the
Mississippi River, Bilbo carried one
and Stephens ten. On the Gulf Coast,
Stephens took two of the three and
Bilbo one-Hancock, the home of Bid
well Adam, who was elected Lieuten-
ant Governor when Bilbo became Gov
ernor in 1927. Adam is on the stump
for Bilbo. 1t is significant that Bilbo
lost two big counties, Adams and War
rem, on the Mississippi River that he
carried Overwhelmingly in 1927. These
two counties, however, like the Gulf
Coast counties. can change their polit-
ical complexion In "A hours.

POWER OUTPUT,
CROSS RISE
IN APRIL

Gross revenue Of the electric
light and power industry for
April was $14s.s51.7OO compared
with $142,511,6O0 in April, 1888,
a gain Of So per cent, the largest
increase in revenue since the up
turn in electric output started
last spring, according to figures
compiled by the Edison Electric
Institute.
Although statistics as to net
earnings Of the industry as u
whole are not available, the ex-
perience of several of the major
systems as reflected in their
April operating results would
seem to indicate q very subStan-
tial portion Of the increased gross
revenue for April for the industry
would be absorbed by higher
operating expenses and taxes,
somewhat modifying the rather
favorable surface indication Of
the figures.
, Much Of the gain in ordinary
operating costs such as fuel,
wages, material and supplies is
attributed to the application Of
the National Recovery Act.
Total electric output in April
amounted to 5,842,388,00O XVIII,
a gain of I'LL per cent over the
88,084,O00 output Of April,
1888.
Domestic customers took 4.7
per cent more electricity in April
with q total Of 1,025 ,562, 900 XVIII,
the highest April consumption
by this class of customers in the
history Of the industry. -

The fact Gallagher has scaled
down to 2O1 well knitting pounds,

EAGLE COPPER
8 CENTS TODAY

Price Of Blue Eagle copper was
advanced u cent to 8 cents a
pound for today's deliveries when
all sellers filed the higher quota
ton yesterday with the Copper
Code Authority.
Volume Of domestic buying in
creased yesterday as a growing
number Of producers announced
their intention Of increasing
prices. Although demand was
probably sufficient to duplicate
the unusual total of 40,000,000
pounds disposed of last Friday,
most sellers preferred to await
the higher quotations today.
Buyers, on the other hand
were spurred not only by the
present " cent advance but
by the belief that a similar in.
crease may be made before mid
summer. Possibility of q strike
in the steel industry will have an
influence in future price actions
Including Mondays sales it is
believed that quota sales now are
about equal to 10000 tons, OF
sufficient to cover the first foul
sales periods Of the copper code
agreement. This guarantees con
tinuance Of the sales plan until
September as sales from now on
probably are applicable to the

NAVY HURLER
STILL HAS
CURVE
By SID KATZNELL

Ponce De Icons search for the

for he is 40 years old and has
been pitching sandlot baseball
for the past IS years.
At present the venerable hurler

Of the Departmental League.
Mound Mainstay
Back in 1922 he was the main
stay Of the powerful Navy Yard
team, which numbered such IA
NOUS old-timers as Monk Fraser
and "Givvy'' Giovannetti. In
those days Kuhnert possessed a
devastating fast ball and q grand
assortment Of curves, but today
his fast one has disappeared.
However, he still has his curves,
which makes him q valuable res
cue man.
He used to hurl for the Sham
rocks, when that team was known
throughout the city as the cream
Of the crop. On numerous occa-
SionS he turned back the mighty
Mohawks, Shamrocks' neighbor"
hood and championship rivals.
Il you feel like getting a sock
On the jaw, just. call Kuhnert an
old man. Because he believes IN
that saying "a man is as old as
he feels" And he is feeling great
In fact he says he'll be pitching
fOH at least 10 more years.
Teaches Youngsters
Kuhnert is always looking out
for someone else, especially young
moundsmen. He takes them to
ono side and teaches them how to
throw a fast one, a slow one, etc.

BY WALL STREET SPECTATOR
NEW YORK, June IL u.NS0.
Wall Street Is taking stock Of
things again after the rise last
week.
one important restraining In
fluence Is the steel labor meeting
on Thursday when q strike vote
will be taken.
Another factor is the German
financial crisis and the uncer-
tainty over the fate Of the mark.
The Chicago pit boys are look
ing around for new fields to con-
Quer.
Wheat is expected to keep in a
trading range for some little time.
The brakes have been put on since
the worst Is apparently out about
this years crop, plus the fact that
there will be heavy hedging soon
against the new harvest. Some
are partial to corn, for even II a
bumper crop is produced there
will be a heavy demand for feed
purposes.
The Street is full Of estimates
Of oil company earnings this
year.
Talk around is that Socony
Vacuum is earning about 81 a
share. This is modified by those
usually accurate, who say that
Socony is making about as much
as Standard Of New Jersey
$500 900 a month, which would
figure out less than $3.50 a share
Consolidated Oil, we understand
made better than 10 cents a share
in the first quarter and expects
to net 81 q share for the year.
The labor situation in the tire
industry Is beginning to attract
attention. A strike at this time
though, will find producers
stocked up with big inventories.
American Tobacco's net for this
year is estimated at around So a
share based on its showing SC
far this year. Some analysts ar
going into the possibilities of the

CLOTH MARKET

NEW YORK, June IL S.)!-CoarsO
yarn cloths were turned over in fairly
good volume in today's market, with the
bulk Of business centered in print cloths
and narrow sheetings.
The print cloth price structure
strengthened to the extent that a num-
ber of constructions could be had only
for July deliveries and some goods
which had been offered for spot ship
ments at less than contract prices moved
up to an even basis for any shipment.
Sheetings turned in better perform
ance than print cloths because the spot
stocks were far from burdensome, stocls
having shown an almost continuous de.
cline in each week since the beginning
Of the calendar year, while print cloth
stocks have been creeping Up.

The Washington times., 1934-06-12

Some years ago, Adams chancec
to meet an old sea captain Wht
had spent considerable time in The
Klondike and in Alaskan waters
The skipper related to Adams &
tale of gold discovered on q re
mote and almost inaccessible
island in Alaskan territory, reveal
ing to the Bethlehem (Pa0 maj
the exact location Of the island.
TELLS A TALE
The old sea-dog told Adams thu
following tale:
"The ship on which I was
serving was delayed several
hours in the vicinity Of this re-
mote island. While certain
minor repairs were being made,
rowed ashore to have q look
around. I was walking along
the shore when, to my surprise,
I observed indications Of placer
gold. I continued some distance
along the beach and came upon
a deposit of gold which rivalled
in its extent and richness that
at Nome, with which I was IA
miliar.
with the aid Of . bucket
alone was able to pan, in less
than two hours, almost 80
ounces Of gold, which at present
value exceeds 81 900.
'T returned to the United
States with my secret, hoping to
acquire a ship and return to the
island to claim my discovery.
Due to circumstances I have
been unable to return to the
Arctic.''
The sea captains story seemed
incredible. However, the latter de-
cided to check the story, as far as
it was possible to do so. He did,
The results Of a careful investi-
CATION Of circumstances surround
ing the discovery, and the char
acter and background Of the sea-
dog, proved satisfactory to Adams.
who feels that a voyage to the
island is quite justified.
Cruise 1900 Miles
In return for an interest in any
gold that may be found, the sea
captain revealed to Adams the 10
cation Of his gold discovery.
Preparations are now being
made for the extended voyage OF
adventure and exploration. Adams
estimates that the 125-foot Diesel
yacht on which the voyage will be
made, will sail about $4,000 miles
In a letter addressed to mem
bers Of yacht clubs, Adams writes;
'While every detail Of the
voyage has been planned care
fully to provide q maximum Of
enjoyment and adventure, the
duration and scope Of the cruise
alone will fully justify the cost
of participation. There exists .
reasonable possibility that the
voyage may prove tremendously
profitable to those participating,
should the gold tale Of the sea
captain turn out to be fact
rather than fiction"
The chief purpose Of the cruise
according to Adams, is to ex
plore the remote Alaskan islant
and attempt to locate and CLAIM
the placer gold deposits.
Adams states that while it 4
impossible to guarantee the ex
istence of the placer deposits o,
gold, it offers, nevertheless,
definite incentive and a stront
element of adventure. He plan'
to carry modern placer equip
ment on the voyage, and thu
present plan Is to proceed di
'rectly to the site Of the d1ScoV

cry. Once arrived there and in
the event Of locating the gold in
paying quantities, the idea is to
remain and work the claims until
climatic conditions make q de-
parture necessary, early in Octo-
ber. Then leisurely return to
this country.
Ten Members Only
Adams informs us that the eX-
pedition will be in charge OF a
retired naval officer Of many years
experience who is widely known
as a capable navigator and able
leader. A skeleton crew, includ'
ing a Diesel engineer and cook
will be carried, although every
member of the expedition is ex'
pected to share in the response
bility Of operating the ship.
The expedition is limited to 10
members plus officers and a crew
of seven, or a total Of II people.
It will sail from New York about
July and is expected to return
to New York about November /.
A sum of money is required for
participation and to cover the
costs for the term Of the cruise.
This sum of money, too, entities
each member Of the expedition to
a share of the gold which might
be discovered.
Because the membership Is so
limited, applications to go on the
cruise will be accepted, Adams
states, on the basis Of technical
qualifications Of individuals and
with a view to the maintenance Of
a high standard Of personal com
patibility.
AnaIgra in Port
