WASHING
|RKS JUNB|NO

This story should interest little
boys who don't like to wash their
ears. Perhaps that's a redund-
ancy, so We'll just say the story
should interest little boys.
Speaking of ears, there's jun.
bino, one of DR.. William M.
Mann's big problems at the Wash
ington Zoo.
Jumbino has a couple of square
yards of ears and they must be
washed, too. Anyone who has seen
a keeper wash an elephant will
know when those ears are secured.

CRIME CASTLE
JURY MEETS
IN BOSTON

BOSTON, May 8 0N.S).-With
secrecy surrounding whereabouts
of Ira Steele and his wife-the
former a brother-in-law of the
alleged Master Mind" of the
Crime Castle Syndicate"-a Fed,
eral grand jury convened today to
hear evidence against ID reputed
members of the gang headed oy
Carlo Rettich.
Motivated by resentment over
supposed attentions paid Mrs.
Steele by Rettich, the couple was
reported to have furnished infor-
nation leading to capture of the
alleged gangster-information de-
rived from their employment as
caretakers of the Warwick Neck
"Crime Castle, where loot and
arms were found.
Continuing their protective
policy, Federal agents were re-
ported to have whiSked the Steeles
under heavy guard from Provi-
dence and lodged them at a local
hotel. Another instance of this
protection was the quiet arraign-
ment of Rettich at the Cranston
Or. H. Jail before a U. S. Com
missioner, supplanting previous
plans to arraign him at Provi-
dence. The change in plans fol-
lowed reports that "triggermen"
were prepared to silence Rettich
with guns should the transfer be
attempted.
Those under arrest were held
specifically on charges growing
out of the 10000 Fall River mail
truck robbery but Federal agents
were attempting to solve several
major robberies and two members
in belief the gang might also be
linked to these crimes. A $21, 200
pay roll stick-up in Dorchester yes
terday was pointed to by officials
as a possible move by gang mem
bers still at large to bail for their
captured leader, Rettich.

TO UNCHANGED
Majority of Prices 5 Cents
Lower; Light Glasses
Stationary.

Slight weakness again was evident
in hog trading at the local stock
yards today despite a continued
light run of supplies on hand. Prices
were mostly 5 cents lower than yes
terday's average on all classes except
light kinds which remained un-
changed.
However, receipts reported from
surrounding livestock centers con-
tinued at a fairly heavy rate, x
ceeding the normal figures at sew
eral places. Hog receipts here were.
estimated at approximately $500,
ceeding yesterdays supplies by only

Local demand continued weak
with interest about evenly divided
throughout the various classes.
Initial trading was at a less active
pace than in previous sessions of the
week. Top price for good and choice
grades today dropped to $500.
The bulk, $50 to 275 pounds,
cashed in at $40 to $500, while
heavies, scaling 275 pounds and up
ward, brought $7.05 to $8.O5. Lighter
kinds, weighing from 100 to $50
pounds, sold at $3.50 to $3.50, while
others, from 100 to 100 pounds, held
at s5.25 to 1925. Good packing sows
brought $6.75 to $40. Holdovers
numbered 267.
General trade in the cattle market
was less active than yesterday and
the majority of classes we're mostly
unchanged. Early steers were valued
to sell from SO down. Receipts
were 1000. Veals showed little
change, selling at $3.50 down. Re-
ceipts were 500.
With practically nothing done in
the lamb market, prices on most
kinds were weak at S8.75 down.
Heavies cashed in at $8.25 down,
while throwouts ranged from $3.50
to s8.25. Slaughter sheep brought

STOCK MARKET
Rally Comes After All

New Lows.
Press

By United Press
NEW YORK, Feb. 7. - Railroad
shares led a recovery on the Stock
Exchange today without increase in
volume, which continued extremely
light.
The rally came after all groups
had been depressed into new low
ground for the year or longer-in-
dustrials for the year, rails since
1888 and utilities since 1882.
Around noon the rails we're up
fractions to more than a point.
Union Pacific reached 97%, up IA;
Atchison, 42A, up u; New York
Central, 1875, up Is; Pennsylvania,
POS, up q, and Southern Pacific,
143s, up IS.
Steel shares recovered after an
early setback and at noon United
States Steel was 1855, up q, and
Bethlehem, 28&, unchanged. Chrys-
Ter rose q to 37% to head the auto
mobile group. Utilities firmed frac-
tionally. Building issues, colds, sill
verS and coppers were steady to
firm. Woolworth rose IL to 54A
in its section. Case was up nearly
a point in the farm implement
shares.
The only weak spots around noon
were Republic Steel issues, which
declined on announcement of gov
eminent suits to halt the merger of
the corporation with the Corrigan,
Mckinney Steel Co. and it's sub
salaries.

An average of 1903, PIG was given

out. Death claims alone were paid
on 0 10000 persons. During Deem
Der, 1884, insurance companies re-
ported an increase equal to six
times the monthly gain over the

THAT the confidence of citizens
