WALL STREET.
TRADING SLOW
Dealers Have Too Many
Worries To Be Cheered

NEW YORK, March q. (UP)
Dust storms sweeping midwest
ern grain regions had brought
bullish tingc to grain markets last
night-but Wall Street was too
worried over other matters TO
get excited.
The storms repeatedly are seri-
ously affecting winter wheat.
This gave a bullish tone but the
trading came entirely from west
ern sources.
One eastern house reported
that there was little or no activ-
ity from the eastern operators
who occasionally turned their in
terests from Wall Greet to La
Sale Street.
The Kansas City wheat market
yesterday showed gains ranging
from / 1-2 to 3 IA cents a BUSH
ell. Kansas City is the trading GEN.
ter for the regions worst affected
by the storm. Chicago showed
gains of only / ga to 2 3-8 cents
a bushel.
The better tone in grains came
at time Other markets were
suffering lethargic uncertainty.
Stocks closed irregularly lower.
Bonds were mixed. Cotton moved
in a narrow area. Volume in all
markets was light, stock trading
amounting to only 100000 shares.
Market factors include:
Worry over the international
Observation-Disclosures attempt to
save the Belgian and German mill
tarization.
No pickup in an industrial re-
ports. The magazine Iron Are, re-
porting 1-2 point drop in steel
production, said the basing point
problem had added to difficulties
of the steel industry. There is no
way yet to tell whether the cur,

slowing in demand.

WASHINGTON. - After Con
w gress goes away from here,
you'll be seeing some important
changes in Roosevelt's official
family.
The most probable cabinet
resignation is that of Jim Farley
as postmaster general.
Even Jim has finally got it
through his head that he is some
thing of a liability as long as he
continues, under constant fire, to
hole both the pcstottice job and
craftsmanship of the national and
New York Democratic committees.
He is convinced that he can be
OF GREATER value TO Roosevelt as
boss of the reelection campaign
thar as boss of the postal service,
assuming he drops one role or the
Other. And of course one of his
clos, associates can handle the
department the same way jim has
been operating it.
Tie fight of Huey Long and the
prog.essives against Farley is
bound to continue and to become
more embarrassing as the cam
paigI nearS.
1t wouldn't look well for Jim
to quit right now, lest Huey ac-
quire the credit and gain too
much prestige from the victory.
But you can look for the resigna-
ton some nice quiet day this
summer
During the last two or three
weeks, Jim has been comforting
with western Democratic politi.
clans, trying to size up the popular
strength of the progressives, third
party possibilities, and other pO-
!itical conditions. Some Of them,
at least, suggested that progressive
protests against his dual job
weren't to be laughed off.

effect suggestion would have on
the boys health. They wobhsd
their system very skilfully = so
skilfully, in fact, that the student
who was very sensitive, took to
his bed and died. .
Many people pooh-nooh the
matter of suggestion. Perhaps you
don't believe in it yourself. You
just think you don't believe in 1t
but you do.
Did you ever give anybody a
piece of advice? Did you ever ask
anybody for advice? If so, then
YOU believe in the power of sug-
gestion. Why give one advice but
to suggest a line of procedure?
Why seek advice but to get a line
of procedure suggested?
Perhaps you have heard a fruit
vender inquire, want to Buy
some nice berries, Lady," Per
haps his berries are exceedingly
punk-venders' berries are apt to
be punk. So, being a conscien-
tious man, he could not say, 81
have some nice berries, Lady,"
but he could say, t'Want to, buy
some nice berries, Lady," In that
way he suggests NICE berries and
leaves his conscience clear.
An understanding, of the power
of suggestion is more or less in

THE POWER OF SUGGESTION
By WICKES WAMBOLDT-

hcrent in everyone. We are born
with it. We use It instinctivcly.
A little child just able to talk,
having been cautioned about ask
ing for things when away from
home, gazed fxedly at an inter
esting looking box on a table and
said wistfully, II like candy"
What was that but suggestion of
the subtlest sort?
A little boy who had leased his
family for a watch until they had
forbidden him to mention the sub
ject, got in his work at family
worship when he quoted the verse,
"And what l say unto you, say
unto all-watch."
All day long we grown folks
throw out foolish, harmful and
even vicious suggestions. Take
the common practice of mourning
solicitodsly about everybody's
hcalth-"How are you?"
Yes, indeed, GLOW are you?"
VIC nau DeLJer examine ana llHu
out. Examination might disclose
something we had not noticed
and we go about worrying our
heads off about something that
might be the matter with US, but
WhiehAiS not at all.
II we would change our ques-
ton q little and ask, GLOW are
you behaving yourself?" we
might start a line of constructive
meditation with regard to person
a. responsibility. But GLOW are
youw-why raise the question?
Suggestion is a power which
like any other power can be used
for good or for evil.
If there were nothing else to
talk about but trouble or possible
trouble, then there would be some
excuse for talking about trouble.
But when there are so many con-
structive, encouraging, goo d
things to be discussed, why pick
out the opposite sort of things?

Imperial Valley
Considered for
New State Prison

SACRAMENTO, Dec. II. UP)-
CALIFORNIA; new first offender pris-
on may be located in the Mojave
desert, in the northwestern section
of the Imperial Valley, the Teha-
chapi mountains or in some heavily
populated district near Los Angeles,
provided a site to be chosen meets
requirements as outlined by spe-
cial commission.
= The business of selecting a site
has been started in line with au-
thority given by the legislature
which appropriated 100000 for a
Southern California location and
gave commission power to nego-
tiate with the federal government
for funds necessary to build the in
stitution.
The site as finally chosen must
contain between 1000 and 5000
acres on level or slightly rolling
land, preferably with hills in the
background. 1t must be within 100
miles of the state building in Los
Angeles, have sufficient water to
supply the institution and irrigat-
able land on which the prison will
be located. The soil must pass the
test of the University of California
and the water must undergo inves-
tigation of the state water division.

GIANNENI MAY
BE GIVEN HIGH
i. s. POSITION

WASHINGTON, Dec. IL. U.P)-
Reports that A. P. Giannini, Cali
fornia banker, would be offered a
high administration financial post
were circulated today following his
social visit to the White House We'd
nesday night at President and Mrs.
Roosevelts first formal dinner of
the winter season.
Giannini refused to discuss the
rumors. He has been a frequent Wis
itor in Washington recently.
Among the jobs he might be offer
ed are a position on the federal re-
serve board or the chairmanship of
the Federal Deposit Insurance Cor
poration, a post that may soon be
vacated by Leo T. Crowley of Wis
conSin.
Giannini has been described as
being in sympathy with many of
the policies of President Roosevelt
and if the administration obtains
his services, it was believed its finan-
cial staff would be strengthened ma
tcrially.

EVAN HEWES
CONFERS ON
REFUNDING

Evan T. Hewes, president of the
Imperial Irrigation district, is at
tending a conference in Washing

reach an agreement in the refund
ing plans of the district.
Present at the conference are:
Emil Schram, head of the Recon-
Struction Finance Corporation,
Hewes, and representative of the
holders of district bonds.
The RFC rs cent refinancing Of
fer was rejected by the bondhold-
erS and it is hoped the conference
Thursday will result in the group
reaching a figure which will be
satisfactory to all concerned. The
drainage loan sought by the dis
trict, it is said, hinges upon agree
ment regarding the refunding.
HeweS will leave Washington in
time to reach Salt Lake City, Utah,
for Mondays conference between
the Colorado river compact states
regarding Arizona's attempt to re-
open the question of division of
Colorado river water before the

SON TESTIFIES
FOR FATHER in
SCANDAL CASE

WASHINGTON, Dec. II. U.P)-
Raymond w. Hoeppel, 27-year-old
son of Rep. John H. Hoeppel today
testified in behalf of his father
and brother Charles j. Hoeppel, 81
charged in district supreme court
with conspiring to sell a West
Point nomination.
He was subjected to a rapid-fire
cross examination by Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Samuel Beach, that
left him hesitant and forced him
frequently to reply Il don't re-
member"
The defense did not call the de-
fendant Charles Hoeppel to the
witness stand. The case is expect
ed to go to the jury tonight.
The government called to the
witness stand James w. Ives, a
former Olympic athlete, who has
testified that after giving young
Hoeppel a $1,000 promissory note
he visited Rep. Hoeppel's office
to surrender the nomination and
the congressman rebuked him for

OF VAST RAIL
EMPIRE DIES

CLEVELAND, Dec. IL. W.R)-M. j.
Van Sweringen, co-ruler of the vast
Van Sweringen Railroad Empire,
died at 7:15 a. m. today.
Van Sweringen died in the Hanna
house OF Lakeside hospital where he
had been confined since Oct. IT
with a heart ailment.
o. P. Van Sweringen spent the
night with his brother and was with
him when death came. Inseparable
since boyhood their careers were
interviewer closely as they built one
of the worlds greatest industrial
dominions.
o. P. Van Sweringen, like his bro
ther, was an unfamiliar figure in the
public eye but his power in the rail
industry made him one of the
strongest figures in world finance
The vast railroading empire of
the brothers had its inception in a
small road built by the brothers to
serve one of their Cleveland real
estate developments.
They made use of one great hold
ing company, the Vaness Company.
Under this company they organized
four large groups of subsidiaries.

General troublesome conduct on
the part of E. W. Holmes, Jose

Hogan at the New China cafe re-
suited in their arrest by El Centro

A search of the quartette found
Holmes in possession of a long
knife, Ayala toting a straight edge
razor and James Hogan harboring
a jagged piece of iron.
Holmes and the two Hogans were
sentenced to seven and one half
days in the county Jail on drunk
and disturbing the peace charges
while Ayala paid SIS fine and
was released.
The Hogans said they were de-
termined to return to Oklahoma,

enjoyed nothing but trouble since
their arrival in sunny California.

Such an authority, Ford said,
seems to me to be very desirable
and, if the time seems to be ripe
for it, I intend to draft legislation
for submission to congress in jan
uary."
Ford said that such a setup for
the Boulder Dam would cover the
same economic and social develop
ments as provided for in the origi-
nal IVA act. 1t would embrace
that part of Southern California in
the Boulder Dam area, as we'll as
other Boulder Dam states such as
Arizona and Nevada.
Private Money Used
"The difference now between the
two projects is that the Boulder
Dam project was made possible by
the fact that the city of Los An
geles made a contract with the in
terror department for sufficient
power to pay off the eventual cost,
while the IVA gets all it's money
from the government at lower
rate of interest"
Out in California we are actually
financing the Boulder Dam and US
ing almost exclusively private
money SO far as power from it is
concerned" Ford said.
He predicted that electric rates

Valley would be reduced appreci-
ably after Jan. l, due to the fact

CONTRACT ON
CANAL TO BE
SET IN WEEK
Ickes Expected to
Speed Up
Action

Secretary of Interior Har-
old L. Ickes will award con-
tracts this week on three
major portions of All Am
erican canal construction on
which bids were opened at Yuma
Nov. 81, % and 25, reclamation bu-
reau officials announced at Wash
ington today.
Low bidders will be awarded the
contracts, it was expected. They
are:
Morrison Knutsen company,
Boise, Ida, Utah Construction
company, San Francisco, and Wins
ton Brothers company, Minneapo-
lis, low bid on Imperial Dam and
desilting works, $4,374, ,240.60.
George Pollock company, Sacra-
mento, low bid on four miles of
canal excavation south of the dam
site, $700,98770.
Frazier Davis Construction COM
pany, low bid on four wash siphon
structures across or under the
canal, $489, ,5275o.
The announcement at Washing
ton brought predictions that work
on the huge project will be in full
swing by Jan. l, or shortly there
after" The only remaining OBJ
stacle, officials said, is in reaching
decision on routing the canal
near CaleXico. R. B. Williams, con-
struction engineer with headquar-
ters at Yuma, will handle the ques-
ton locally. A meeting will be
called at CaleXico soon to discuss
the route, he said.
The low bid on Imperial Dam
the United Press learned at the
capital, is very slightly in excess
of reclamation bureau estimates
Officials said the difference is
"small-about two per cent" One
offer on another part of the prof.
ect-they refused to say which-is

Single persons assigned to Works

lief check when he or she is as

Fitzer, Imperial county director for
the State Relief Administration.
Lack of funds prevents the SRA
from carrying out the original ar
rangements with the WPA, Filter
said, whereby the SRA would car
ry the relief workers until they re-
ceive their first checks.
Families on relief will receive
two weeks check from the date
they are placed on WPA to carry
them until they received their first
WPA money, the director said.
All single women on relief and
all women who are employable
heads of families are expected to
be assigned to WPA sewing prof.

vide a material reduction of the
case load within the next few
weeks.

A preferential order of business
tn the senate, the bonus issue will
be revived soon after congress
meets Jan. 8. Overwhelming senti-
ment for payment was shown in
answers of congressman and Sena-
tors to the question:
will you vote to pay the bonus?'
The voting was so heavy in favor
that it appeared likely tnat veter-
ans forces would have strength to
override a presidential veto.
The administrations attitude
toward revival of the bonus has not
been clearly presented yet. Veter-
ans organizations expect the ad-
ministration to attempt to arouse
public antipathy toward the bonus
by emphasizing claims that new
taxes would be necessary if the Ad
justed Service Certificates were to
be redeemed in cash.
The issue may be tied in with
economy and presented as burden
which could not be properly fitted
into the governments budget. On
the contrary, there was some reason
to believe that treasury officials,
recognizing the power of the bonus
drive, had worked out a plan for
meeting the $2,OOO0O0,0OO drain if
necessary.
The approximate value of the
Adjusted Service Certificates at
maturity would be $3,500,000 $1,000.
Loans have been made to holders
of the certificates amounting to
more than $1,500,000,000.
