LAW GRANTING
OTTO'S RETURN
MEETS DELAY

VIENNA, July 8. U.H)-The Aus
trian government today postponed
for "a hours its consideration of
the law which will restore to the
Eapsburgs their crown property
and thus pave the way for the re-
turn of P.rchduke Otto as king-em-
peror of Austria.
Decision to postpone final action
on the new law came shortly be-
fore the diet was to convene.
Reasons for the delay were that
it would not be "dignified" to con-
slider so grave a law as one repeal
ing the exile enforced against the
royal family in the same session at
which minor and unimportant leg
iSlation would be discussed.
On the same legislative program
today there were bills regulating
the manufacture of shoe pollsh"
and similar secondary questions.
The program for letting down the
bars against the Hapsburgs is ex-
pected to go through in a special,
and very dignified, session tomor-'

FEDERAL MEN
HOT ON TRAIL
Of PIRAT I ES

LONG BEACH July 9. up
First arrests for piracy in the Pa
cific since legendary swashbucklers
flew the Jolly Roger" were behev-
ed imminent today as federal in
yestigators hunted five hooded
raiders who looted the gambling
barge Monte Carlo Of S35.000 in
cash and jewels early yesterday.
Death is the punishment for PR
acy, and if captured the boarding
party may pay for the daring raid
with their lives. federal authorities
said.
Federal agents early today were
questioning L. V. Eveans, owner Of
the white sardine boat Norio. IN
which the pirates sailed against
the gambling ship.
The Norio was found water-iog-
ged and hull down in the swells a
few miles from the scene of the
raid. II had failed to sink, al
though fleeing pirates had attempt
ed to scuttle the craft by pulling
her sea plugs.
Joseph E. p Dunn, director al
Los Angeles Of the federal bureau
Of investigation, department Of
justice. and his men were said to
be hot on the wake Of a myster-
ious speed boat in which the pirate
crew sailed after leaving the Norio.
The boarding expedition came
over the side Of the Monte Carlo
with precision that told of long
study and preparation for the
crime
Instead of cutlasses and horse
pistols they were armed with shot
guns and rifles. Each was com
pletely disguised by a silk stocking
drawn over his head, peering
through crudely cut eye-holes.
Swiftly the pirates over-awed the
sleepy crew Of the gambling barge.
and shackled them to lunch-room
stools with chains and hand-cuffs
which they produced from two gun
ny sacks.
Leaving three to guard the pr-~
oners, two leaders forced J. W
Kellar. cashier, to open the safe
from which they took $4,000 in
cash and $4,000 in jewels, the pro-
ceeds of the green-topped tables
for the weekend.
From their familiarity with the
Monte Carlo and the habits of the
crew. federal agents today deduced
that the pirates had visited the
barge before, and had planned the
robbery in detail

Although he made no reference
to the impending fight between

suggestion to mitigate the row.
Harry Bridges, San Francisco

President Joseph P. Ryan, said no
further steps toward the move had
been taken. He indicated the fight
would break with the reading of
resolutions from the recent western
conferences later in the week, prob
ably Thursday or Friday.
Non-support of the I. L. A., dur
ing the Pacific coast strike last
summer and Ryan's alleged ignor-

charges which the western dele

HAROLD LLOYD
In CATS PAW

Abandoning the adolScent roles,
the stunts and paraphernalia which
first helped TO make him one Of the
worlds outstanding motion picture
comedians, Harold Lloyd returns
Sunday and Monday to the screen
Of the Queen Theatre. q new, full
grown man.
For in The Cat's-Paw," his latest
vehicle in many, many months
which must have been dull indeed
without him). he Is an unexpected
~ different Harold Lloyd, q type OF
comedian whom film audiences will
not be prone 70 forget or tire OF so
easily.
Prior to the filming OF The Cats
Paw" Mr.. Lloyd adamantly an
nounced that he would remain off
the screen indefinitely unless his
exhaustive researches we're pro-
ductive OF the ideal story. Today,
few persons. no matter how carping
their critical faculties. can gainSay
the stars final judgment without
exposing their own sanity TO ques-
ton. In short, and to everybody's
way OF thinking, Harold Lloyd
found what Is Individually the finest
story Of his whole career land he
has had some mighty fine ones)
when he chose Clarence Burlington
Kelland's famous serial and best
selling novel.
The new type of role hereinbefore
alluded TO provides Harold Lloyd
with a character of a misSonary's
son who is taken TO China as a
little boy. There he grows I'D in the
OF Cheng-tu and the philosophical
sayings Of the past Ling Pc. At
tanning manhood, and none but
Chinese girls available as future
mates. the young man Is returned
to America with Instructions TO find
a wifeI What happens to him when
he arrives and Is hurled into the
fury OF a helter-Skelter American
city. and his C0urtship Of Petunis
Pratt played BY the wise -cracking
Una MerkeD. Is too grand TO divulge
so please don't divulge It even aft
er you've seen The Cats Paw
yourself.
Not only Is this Harold Lloyd's
finest story, as we have inttmated
but he also has surrounded 1t with
what Is by far his best cast OF sup
porting players. including as 1t does
such outstanding performers as Una
Merkel, George Barber, Nat PEN
dleton, Alan Dineha-t Grant Mitch
ell. Grace Bradley and others.
In conclusion, let US urge you
again to see The Cats Paw" at
the earliest possible moment. II
YOU don't find 1t as delightful,
wholesome, and completely enter
tanning as we have, then we simply
have no nose for q smash hit.

PORKER PRICES
RISE SHARPLY
Market Largely rs to 35
Cents Higher in Spots;
Receipts Scarce.

With the available supply too
small to permit a representative
trade on all weights, the pork mar
ket at the indianapolis Stockyards
today pointed 25 to 35 cents higher
in several preferred classes.
These grades, ranging in weight
from 160 to 300 pounds, were sala-
BILE at $1210 to $1225. This equals
the top price since 1929, established
last Monday. Underweights were
being offered at $1O35 to $1185
with few holding for $12.
Receipts today were estimated at
only 1000, the lightest on hand for
several months. This, combined
with a firm demand, was largely re-
sponSible for the increase in prices.
However, los hogs were held over

ing sows sold from $40 to S1075.

WHEAT PRICES
CLOSE OFF IN
NARROW RANCE
Hedge Selling and Absence
of Demand Results
in Decline.

By United Press
CHICAGO. Sept. l4.-Wheat
prices fluctuated erratically over a
narrow range today on the Board
of Trade.
AT the close wheat was Is to :
cents lower. corn was Is to : cent
of, and oats we're unchanged to q
cent lower. Wheat prices averaged
slightly lower during most Of the
session.
Hedging selling in the May de-
livery and absence of any sustained
demand resulted in the easier price
trend. Speculative interest in the
market was small. and moderate m
dividual operations had considerable
effect at times.
Elevator interests placed hedges IN
May wheat and changed over
hedges from December into Nav at
a difference of q cent, the mar
roweSt spread to date. Many traders
continued to be content to sit back
and await disposal of the large
Canadian surplus before taking a
definite stand either way.
The corn market was easily in
fluenced with small trading opera
tions having considerable effect.
September recovered from early
weakness on a light demand from
cash and elevator interests. Locals
sold December and May sparingly as
reports of better weather conditions
over the belt began to drift in. Re-
cent weather has been favorable for
late corn. The weekly weather
forecast indicated continued normal
or above normal temperatures.
September oats we're in fair de-
mand. but no important changes
were noted in the market. Rye gen.
orally followed the action of wheat.

Week in Review

Stocks moved irregularly in the
last week with volume around the
largest for any week so far this
year. Industrial stocks advanced
with the average at a new high since
1881. The rail average broke
through the 1885 high but later de-
clined and was off slightly on the
week. The utility averages also was
slightly lower.
Group after group was given
whirl and finally in the Friday SEES
sion the coppers had sharp rise
featured by issues whose companies
also do a large silver business. Rails
were being watched for further in
dicatiOns of the market trend. Chart
readers were disappointed over their
inability to carry on after the high
of the average was penetrated. Util-
tiles were sold in several sessions but
their changes were small at the end
of the week. Steels we're strong.
Business made a good showing.
Retail trade showed gains of Is to
IS per cent over 1884. Electricity
output was up II per cent from
the 1884 level. Car loading also
were above 1884 although in some
compilations the decline for the
Labor Day week was charted as
more than seasonal. Steel opera
tiOnS were the best since Febru-
airy. Building continued to gain
and for the year to date has made
the best performance since 1881 in
the residential field.
Some traders believed the stock
market was adjusting its technical
position as it progressed, while
others held a substantial reaction
was over due. The latter belief
led to considerable proft-taking
especially after the copper shares
began to rise. Sentiment in Wall
Street is still predominantly bullish
on the longer term.
Demand for copper shares was in
spired by hopes for a higher price
shortly for domestic copper. Steels
gained on outlook for another rise
in the operating rate next week.
The automobile issues continued to
gain under the lead of Chrysler
which made new high since 1929.
Allied Chemical, Union Carbide and
other chemicals made good gains,
the first netting points on the
week. Oils were laggards again on
unsettled conditions in the industry
as regards price Gains in the cop
per and silver department ranged
to points.
