Alice Roosevelt LonguOorth h PeeDed, Not Sore, At Mellon

that: she had to count on her fingers to figure out exactly how long the riding and hunt club had been pro. viding horses for her canters in Rock Creek park. Two days ago. she said, she was 52 years old. She was six years old when she came to Wash. ington. That was 4e years ago and she remembers that the riding and hunt club was Q venerable institu- ton then. All during her girlhood Mrs. Longworth rode. inside the clubs barn like headquarters. It was pleasant inside. especially in winter. As she trotted around and around the soft tanbark circle, she could look through the windows and sec the ice outside. That somehow made her feel happy.
 Then on pretty days she'd hitch her horse to c sleigh provided by the club and go siEimming over the hard packed snow. That was fun, too. The scenery was nice in those days; no filling stations to mar the view, and no automobiles to frighten her horse. AS the years passed Mrs. Longwgorth taught her daughter, Paulina, to ride. Paulina's l2 now and . good republican, like her mother. That's what hurts the worst. If the secretary of the treas- ury under Herbert Hoover only were democrat. the Isongwortha, mother ausi daughter, wouldn't beat . re- treat. AS 1t is. they're trying to find some more republicans, who like horses better than they Go motor cars, on derect another riding and hunt club next door to Mellon's fill- ing station.

 New York, Feb. l6--(UP)- Stocks ,n the past week made Q new high In the average since 1891, 70 repre- sentative bonds a new top for all time, and commodities new highs in the United Press index.
 Two items stood out in the weeks developments. A slight pickup in heavy industries and an almost ir1i- preceptible but definite rise in corl- inodity prices after Q long period of stagnation. Currency imitation seemed more remote, although inc flation of credit apepared to be gaining headway.
 Cold continued to leave the coun- try early, but 6 sudden upturn in fine dollar checked further ship ments. Some bankers looked for an eventual general exodus from the gold standard.
 Pickup in steel operations was the feature in the business world. Steel operations rose points to 52 per cent. a new high since December IS.
 Electricity output gained. Auto- mobile production turned up after its recent series of setbacks and Chrysler along with several others of the motor division mounted to new highs. Building gains were noted in many sections. As q result of the favorable figures, demand in- creased for building stocks.
 Feature of the stock market was a rise to new highs for more than o year in the steel division where U. s. steel, stood out. Am- erican Telephone starred in invest ment issues, rising to a new high since 1881. Western Union made wide gains also to Swear high.
 Raiiroad shares and utilities had periods of strength. Oils were firm for Q time but lost their snap. Late in the week, the coppers started up sharply as Phelps Dodge Corpora ton increased it's selling price for cooper metal to 9 1-2 from { l-4 cents Q pound. Arnold Constable jumped 3 points in the mercantile division.
 Aviation issues had strength and activity and moved into new high

San Francisco, Feb. i5--(uP)-' Phil Brubaker, Dinuba, Cal, boxer, moved nearer the front rank of heavyweight boxing contenders to- day following c decisive l0-round decision over King Levinsky, fad. ing Chicago fish peddler.
 Only one glaring weakness was apparent in the former College of Pacific students ring makeup as he hooked and jabbed his way to vic- tory before capacity house at Dreamland auditorium last night That was his inability to go lC rounds without slowing down.
 Brubaker scored two no-count knockdowns and consistently out. pointed Levinsky through early rounds of the fight. He stabbed Levinsky repeatedly with shots to the head and body and evaded most of the Kinghshs roundhouse swings.

 Out Over Three Hours
 The jury, which received the case early last evening, returned its ver- dict at 11:47 a. m. Altogether 1t de- liberated about three and one.half hours.
 Attorneys for the contentants irn- rnediately announced they would ap- peal the verdict.

 "The whole affair has been hard to take" he added. He said he would return soon to New York to attend to private puSineBS matters.
 Hints of Foul Play
 Davidson had been distressed by hints of attorneys for the contest ants that there may have been foul play in Mrs. Davidson's death. The manner of her death was not at is- sue in the suit, but was referred to frequently by both sides.
 Mrs. Davidson was found dead in the garage of her honeymoon cot- tage" at Pinehurst early one morn- ing last February. A coroner's jury, unable to decide whether 1t was Q case. of suicide, accident or murder, returned an open verdict.
 Tn addition to the Statler foster relatives, Miss Isabelle Baer of Minneapolis was listed as a con- testant. She was Q college class mate of Mrs. Davidson. Under a previous will she would have receiv- ed Mrs. Davidson's personal prop erty-the automobile in which she died, her clothing and jewelry. Miss Baer was not present at the trial, nor was Ellsworth Statler.
