CURB DEALINGS
NARROW AFTER
UTILITY DROP
By JULES KRAMER

NEW YORK, Aug. 10 U.N.S0.
Shaking free Of the influence OF
sharply depressed utility shares,
the general curb list held steady
in a narrow range today. Trading
was not very active and was
largely devoted to power share
liquidation.
The higher-priced utility issues
were under severe pressure, Co
lumbia Gas preferred and Con-
solidated Gas of Baltimore break
ing more than three points each.
In the active leaders Of the group,
Electric Bond and Share common
eased slightly again after staging
a partial recovery.
The speciality list was irregularly
higher, with Royal Typewriter, A.
o. Smith, and Square Deal A scor-
ing good gains. United Foundry
climbed 1s to 11s in very heavy
trading. Sherwin Williams
climbed a point, but lost its gain
on the next sale. Catalin Cor
poration was under pressure.
In the liquors, Hiram Walker
preferred held steady while Dis
tillers Corporation Seagrams eased
fractionally. Kreuger held onto a
3s-point gain to 12B.
In the mining shares SunShlne
broke almost point.

CLOSED BANKS
MAY BOOST
DIVIDENDS

Prospects for larger dividends
than had been previously antici-
pated appeared brighter today for
thousands of depositors in Wash
ington closed banks.
The 16 banks in receiverShip
here have their funds tied up in
bonds, real estate or promissory
notes, or in all three. All three
of these financial markets have
considerably improved in the last
two years.
This is expected to result in pay.
ment OF a higher percentage Of
dividends than had been looked
for when the banks failed in 1888.
Still Owe S14,OOO,OOO
Washington banks still owe their
d epoSi t RS around $4,000, 900.
Most Of the closed banks here
have paid off about so per cent.
There has been a decided up
ward trend in the general bond
market in the last two years.
StatiSticianS in some bonding
houses place Ine jump IN pOno val
ues at 16 points.
What percentage of bonds the
closed banks here are holding
would be difficult to estimate.
Many of the banks, however, hold
a considerable quantity.
Large Realty Holdings
Washington closed banks are
strapped with real estate holdings.
With few exceptions, this item
constitutes one of the chief bur
dens of the receivers here at
tempting to liquidate bank assets
and pay the depositors. Real
estate values in Washington, as
in every other section of the
country, took a tremendous drop
in value beginning in 1888. An
upturn is now expected.

SOLDIER

Three winners correctly ldent'
fled their fingerprints in Omen
Game" Saturday, completing .
perfect score for all participants
for the week-end-every print
published being identified for
awards of $5 each.
The first Saturday award goes
to Alfred E. Davis, U. S. Soldiers
Home, who names print No. 1875
correctly as his own.
The second award goes to Miss
Emma Ellen Ledman, residing in
the 100 block of P st. N. W.,
having identified print No. 1877
as hers.
The third to Edward Beech, Of
the 3100 block of Twenty-fourth
ct. N. E., with No. 1870.
Incorrect Claims
Erroneous claims Saturday were
made by Miss SGngland and E. G.
Moorhead, both Of Washington,
D. C. Their identifications were
not correct.
Prints that were blurred,
SCARED, or printed in blue and too
pale for publication necessarily
disqualified those Of Mrs. Fannie
Maugan, Lester VIM. Dreyer, jr.,
John Yager, j. S. McNulty, Ma
thilde M. Carpenter, Austin Yates,

o. l.. Zirkle, o. L. Zirkle, Mary
Ludwig, Leonard j. Rominski, T.
L. Risheill, C. Burgess, and Edna
RiSheill.
These and all others who have
previously made this error may
with a little practice submit quail
fled prints eligible for publication
in accordance with the rules. Par
ticipants are cautioned not to use
too much pressure after the finger
has been properly linked that all
the ridges of an unScarred finger
may show clearly in black on
white paper.
HERE ARE THE RULES
"G-Men Game" calls for one
clear fingerprint only, and when
published will pay its owner IS,
if he, or she, identifies it.

3. Keep a duplicate impres-
sion of your print for future use
in identifying your fingerprint
in The Times.
4. Examine the fingerprintS
reproduced daily in The Wash
ingtOn Times carefully and c5m-
pare your duplicate each day,
until you pick your own.
When you identify yours, send

When President Hoover turned over

The Senate press gallery, because
of its limited size, felt the pinch OF
that increase more than did the COM

Newspaper men were crowded into
corners so close that on busy day
their elbows rubbed together while

Now, however, the correspondents

and the operators are to be placed
in the addition. The news men are
going to be given ample space in
which to work.

Supreme Court chamber, with all its
atmosphere of solemnity, is to be kept
intact as another historic shrine. Not
a drape is to be disturbed, not a chair
or a table rearranged. 1t will be pre-
served in the same condition as the
court left it when it moved into its
impressive new home facing the Capt.
toll
It was June 3, last, when the Su-
preme Court said farewell to the
time -mellowed chamber where N. r.
A. was killed just q week before, and
many other major questions were set
tied years ago. Next month the nine
justices will convene in the classic
white building facing the Capitol it.
Self-there to open term which may
see further tests Of the New Deal.
The court left its old chamber vir-
tually the same as 1t was when the
Senate occupied it from 1919 to 1859,
with only two exceptions:
l. There is a false flooring which
covers the old flooring of the Senate
room, which was arranged in tiers
of seats.
2. An iron gallery which extended
around the back Of the room has
been removed. -.....
THE contrast between the new and
modern hall Of justice and the
series of inadequate quarters the court
had occupied during its busy life Is
strikingly vivid.
The first meeting Of the court was
held In New York City in the Royal
Exchange at the foot of Broad street.
In 1901 it followed the other branches
of the Government to Washington.
No provision had been made for it
heres but the Senate permitted JUS
tices to use q small room on the first
floor OF the Capitol. Just south Of the
Senate gallery.
