NEW YORK, Aug. 9. UP)-Wall
Street today experienced its first
100000 share day since May %
in a strong market that carried the
industrial average to a new high
since 1881.
Highest grade issues on the
board were swept to new tops for

of investment funds were placed in

Gains ranged to points with
merchandising issues, motors and
electrical equipments the leaders.
Brokerage houses were crowded in
the morning, but later attendance
dwindled as some left for the week
end after having taken profits.
Today's rise was induced by Q
long series of factors, according to
experts. Dun and Bradstreet reiter-
ated its bullish predictions for re-
tail and wholesale trade.
Condition OF prosperity in the
motor division helped send the
leaders into new high ground

P|NCHOT ADMITS
HOAX ABOUT
BARONESS
Ex-Governor Tells Crew of
Being Ordered Off Gala
pagos Island With Gun

HARRISBURG, Pa, March IS
GN.SO.-StorieS that former Gov.
Clifford Pinchot of Pennsylvania
and his wife were halted at gun
point and ordered to leave the
island kingdom of Baroness Eloisa
Bosouet de Wagner Wehrborn in
the Galapagos, resulted from a
"cocl -and-bull yarn" conceived
by Pinchot himself.
This was learned by Interna-
tionsl News Service today from
a letter written by Mr.. Pinchot
to Morris Gregg, his personal Sec
retary.
Made Up BY PinchOt
The entire story was made up
out OF whole cloth by the former
executive for the benefit Of mem
bers of the crew of the yacht
Stella Polaris, on which the Pin
chots are making South Seas
cruise. He told the yarn" to
the crew and kept adding details
unit, they finally discovered the
ruse, the letter revealed.
The story was conceived after
the former governor and his wife
made an unsuccessful scouting
trip deep into the tiny Island of
Floreana in the Galapagos, in
search of the baroness. She has
been missing since the last of
numerous bizarre tales of her ad-
ventures reached civilization.
Fail to Find Her
They did not find the elusive
baroness but when they got back
to the ship they made up a "cock
and bull story" Mr.. Pinchot
wrote:
1--WE told the crew how we
met the baroness, what she said
to us, and what we said to her.
We kept adding details until
they discovered the ruse."
There was nothing in the letter
directly indicating the Pinchots
had told the crew of being ordered
off the island at gunpoint as was
related in a letter from mem
ber of the tourist party to a st.
Paul newspaper editor.
Mr.. Pinchot's friends here, how
ever, believed this might have
been one of the "details" he kept
adding until the sailors found
him out.
