disappointing earnings report for
the second quarter was reflected
in an early decline in the steels.
The losses were erased later
and gains substituted as buying
was resumed under the stimulus
of the optimistic Iron Age review
of the industry and its prospects.
Utilities were buoyant under
the leadership of Consolidated
Gas, which rose over point to
q new high for the year. The
power production gain was a fac
tor.
Rails resumed their rise under
aggressive buying of New York
Central, which quickly rose over
a point. Low-priced issues were
prominent on the tape, particu-
larly Electric Power and Light.
Oil stocks presented a firm ap-
pearance but failed to duplicate
yesterdays strength and activity.
Westinghouse spurted to a new
high for the year on the dividend

NEW YORK, July 81 0.N.s).-There
was no change in the character of COT
ton goods markets today as business
continued to drag with few sales made
at unchanged prices. Sales procedure
traders seemed no nearer reaching an
agreement than at any other time in the
past two weeks. Sentiment among
m1limen is said to be strongly in favor
of retaining any benefits that may at

instead of passing them on to buyers or

TAKOMA PARK, Md, Sept. 81.
Fruit from an apple tree that now
bears IA varieties of apples and
cne pear, was a feature exhibit
of the sixteenth annual flower,
fruit and vegetable show of the
Takoma Park Horticultural which
closed at the public library here
last night. It was the exhibit of
Winn T. Simmons, of 518 Aspen

experimentation.
An employee of the Veterans
Bureau, Mr.. Simmons said when
he first began his experiments
with grating the tree was moth

gratis as a hobby, he decided to
see just how many different varie-

Speaking over WJSV today,
Representative Virginia E. Jenckes
CDO of Indiana, member of the
House Civil Service Committee,
promised that Congress will write
new chapter of great import
ance in the history of the civil
service" during the session to be-
gin in January.
Speaking under auspices of the
American Federation of Govern
ment Employees, the Indiana Rep
resentative declared the House
civil service group is composed of
"hard-working men and women
eager to do their duty to the Gov
ernment service and its person
nel," adding:
II feel that every member of
Congress can vote with clear
conscience on the leave bills in
January, for it has been suffi-
cientIy demonstrated that there
is no added cost involved"
The legislator commended the
employe demand for $1,000 mini.

week, saying:

ample to all employers in the

She also pointed out that Gov
ernment experts have set $4,000
as the lowest annual income to
warrant adequate living for q
single family. adding:
"Uncle Sam could hardly be
accused of undue generosity in
making that the minimum sal
ary for his employees. In fact,
if all family incomes through
out the country which are now
below that figure could be
brought up to it-inadequate

AS funeral services were being

21-year-old George Washington

night at Shelby-on-the-Bay, near

a student at George Washington

roommate of the dead youth.
Miss Schuermann was seated
with Sanchez in a row boat which
was blown suddenly from the
shore by a gust of wind. The
boat had no oars and Sanchez, ap'
parently believing he was in shall
low water, stepped into the water
in an attempt to pull the boat to

Arrests Call Attention
to Problem; judges
Blast Recalled

Washington'S transient problem
received new emphasis last night
with the arrest of three young
wanderers found in the Franklin
Laundry, 504 Thirteenth st. N.
w. A rear window of the laun-
dry had been broken.
Their arrest preceded by less
than an hour the closing Of the
Transient Bureau headquarters
on John Marshall Place North
west, together with the II tran.
sient lodges scattered throughout
the city, under orders issued
earlier in the week terminating
this form of relief.
Judge Critical
It also followed caustic COM
ment on the transient problem
last week by Judge Robert E.
Mattingly, following the arrest
of two transients charged with
stealing each others shoes. In
his criticism of the transients,
the judge declared they were
causing more trouble than any
other group in the city.
The three youths arrested last
night, all of whom gave out-of-
town addresses, were held at gun
point by Enoch Craig, 1440 Swan
st. N. w., watchman at the
laundry, until police arrived.
According to police, they admit
ted breaking into a rear window,
intending to steal two dozen
shirts. They gave their names rs
Paul Mueller, 20, Milwaukee, Wis;
AutoSo Domingas, 20, New Bed
ford, Mass, and Joseph Lucky"
Ryan, 10, Savannah, Ca, and are
being held for investigation.
178 Register at Bureau
Closing of the transient lodge
at midnight last night ends al
most two years of operation. Since
the lodges were opened in Novern-
Der, 1888, some 58,416 homeless
men and women have been given
shelter. Yesterday, 178 new cases
were recorded, with one man en-
tering just five minutes before the
headline" There are approx
mately 5000 registered transients
at the present time, who will be
cared for until November.
All possible pressure is being ex-
erted to force tranSients to return
to their home towns where they
will be eligible for PWA jobs, ac-
cording to Elwood Street, director
of public welfare.
Officials Worried
Expressing fears that scarcely
more than 1000 of those regis
tered now will be provided with
WPA jobs by November /, officials
frankly admitted they did not
know what they would do with
the other 1000 heads of families,
many OF whom have no legal resi-
dence.
They point to the discouraging
outcome of the ruling which made
only transientS registered before
last July IS eligible for District
WPA jobs. This ruling, officials
say, has resulted in the employ
ment of only a very small per-
centage of those who were eligi-
BILE.
One encouraging outlook, how.
ever, is the virtual assurance that
all the veterans registered at the
local bureau will be placed
through the CCC.

 He chuckled self -satisfedly. WLat would be Purvis' reaction if he knew that no chloral hydrate but harmless saline solution had been injected into his arm? It was slf- dcient to accomplish his purpose, and even a physician would be in- vestigated if he went so far as to administer harmful dose of medi- cine. The Subtlety of his impromptu invention pleased him more and more. He d wait an extra five minutes. purposely, to extract the last ounce of fear as repayment.
 Doc Hines strode up and down the tiny hallway, his watch in hand. Exactly five minutes later than the half-hour he pushed open the ofiice door and looked over Purvis' shoul- der at the confession, complete ex- cept for the signature. Purvis' watch lay before him, as if he were racing time itself.
 "Sign itl" the doctor directed. The writer remained motionless, staring at what he had written. Hines prodded him.
 As Purvis slumped forward across the scribbled page on tined eslx, the practiced eye of the physician, not- ing thes low trickle from his mouth, told him that death had cheated him of his full satisfaction. Prlrvis had died of heart failure.
