STOCKS bound
Up 5 POINTS IN
HEAVY TRADE
Confidence Back After z
Months Absence; Re-
gain Losses

NEW YORK, Oct. 90. (UP)-.
Confidence today had returned to
Wall Street after twO-months
absence with the result that stocks
bounded up two to eight points in
such volume that tickerS fell far
behind the floor transactions.
The stock market, in a driving
finish to a 100000 share day
came back yesterday to erase in
part severe scars that tremendous
early selling had recorded to the
already battered price list. Some
early losses were as much as Sl3
share.
Individual issues jumped Sc and
ST a share from their lows, many
finishing with net gains on the
day, and the Dow Jones industrial
average and composite average
for 70 stocks finished above the
previous close. The industrial av-
erage came back II points from
the low.
The trading volume was the
greatest since July 81, 1888.
Thus as the market was about
to open today Wall Street was
perplexed but hopeful that the
early selling represented a eli
matte drive that would bring to
an end a steady decline since Au-
gust IA in which values had been
depressed over $25,000,00O. 900
and scores Of traders driven from
the market by lack of funds.

Copyright, 1897, United PrcsD

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20. (UP)
4 government Official known to be
in the councils Of President
Roosevelt, told the United Press
tonight that he had reason to be-
licve that the chief executive has
abandoned all thought of reviving
his defeated supreme court en-
largement plan, unless future ju-
dicial decisions upset his second
new deal"
Mr.. Roosevelt has been advised
to adopt this program, it was
learned, and the United Press in
formant said it is believed he has
acceded. Tending to bolster this
statement was another, made on
good authority, that the president
is not considering new bills or a
message suggesting changes in the
courts structure.
The president, it was said, will
remain silent on the court issue
until - and if - the tribunal
rulings tend to interfere with his
administrations social detectives.
Only then would he attempt to
revive the proposal that touched
off historic debate at the last SEES
sion of congress and delayed en-
actmcnt of some of his pet legiS-
latiOn.
Mr.. Roosevelt also has been
c0unsclled, it was learned, that
the issue surrounding Associate
Justice Hugo l.. Blacks seat on
the court is definitely dead" and
that few future attacks on Black
may be expected. His advisors
reason, it was said, that the con
tinuance of criticism of Black,
now a fully robcd justice, would
tend to further "humanize" the
court and thus Shattcr the pub
lies conception of the tribunal as
a additionally august body.
They argue that the spcarhead
of the attack on Black and his
alleged Ku KluX Khan affiliation
came from the same group which
opposed the presidents original
plan to change the size of the
court. They point out that one OF
the principal charges lcvclcd
against Mr.. Roosevelt was that
he was lowering public esteem OF
the court and thus hampering its
operations. :,
Any further attacks on Black
will tend to "pay into the prcsi-
dents hands," they say, "and
achieve the same effect for which
he was criticized"
Mr.. Roosevelt's counsellors are
telling him that the real obJcc-
tives of his court plan are now
achieved - the insurance that he
has a majority of its membership
favoring a liberal outlook on his
legislative program.
Mr.. Roosevelt has been inform
ed that, with the selection of Mr.
Black, whose record in congress
manifested strong sympathy WIN
the detectives of the new deal, nc
has obtained as favorable a court
as that which might have been
chosen if the judiciary bill had
been enacted.
