HELD
GUILTY BY JURY

Facing a maximum penalty OF
IS years imprisonment, William
J. Tapponier, 28-year-old waiter,
was lodged in the District Jail to-
day, convicted of manslaughter in
connection with the Ninth Street
shooting last october of William
j. Harris.
Deliberating longer than any
criminal court jury in the last
decade, the verdict was reached
after the jurors had been out
1914 hours. Recorded yesterday, it
marked the first time in the his
tory of the court that a verdict
was returned on a Sunday.
Tapponier maintained he acted
in self defense when he fatally
wounded Harris. He said he had
been beaten by Harris and others
in the restaurant where the shoot
ing occurred, several hours before
the shooting.
William j. Bell, jury foreman, of
4433 Fourteenth st. N. E., said
the deliberations we're "vicious,"
and at times stopped just short
of fist-fighting"
Justice Adkins, Defense At
torneys James A. O'Shea and AL
bert Goldstein, and Assistant U. S.
Attorney Charles B. Murray, prose
cutor, were called and the verdict
recorded at 11:45 a. m. yesterday.
Sentence probably will be imposed

Delegates to Oppose
VenereaI Tests
Rv GEORGE M. GREEN

by GEOhGE w. UhEEN
RICHMOND, Va, Feb. THE
Virginia General Assembly re-
convened today to start on a
calendar which includes old-age
pensions, bill to require
laboratory venereal tests Of
applicants for marriage; d soil
conservation act; local option on
sales of beer and wine on Sun
days, and a bill which would take
from the State milk commission
the power to regulate retail
prices.
Special hearings on several
relief measures will be resumed at
10 o'clock tomorrow morning be-
fore the senate finance COM
mittee. Members of this COM
mittee have said it will be i'm
possible to act on other measures
requiring appropriations un TIL
relief and old-age provisions have
been decided upon.
PHYSICAL TESTS OPPOSED
Fights on several fronts are be-
ing waged against the bill requir-
ing pre-marital physical examina-
tions for venereal disease, tubercu-
losis and insanity.
The bill is before the house gen.
eral laws committee, and a check
UP shows a majority of the COM
mittee men favor notifications of
the plan. The chief objection, ad-
Vanced to date, is against the
clause requiring women to undergo
an examination for gonorrhea.
One physician member of the
house declared the blood test for
syphilis met with general appro-
val, but that examination for gon-
orrhea would prove both painful
and embarrassing to young un-
married women"
BATTLE LOOMS ON MILK
One of the bitterest fights in the
Assembly is expected to come from
the bill which seeks to wreSt from
the State milk commission its
powers to control retail prices of
milk sold in Virginia.
Sponsored by Delegate William
D. Medley, of Arlington, with CO.
patrons including Dele ties
Maurice Rosenberg, of Alexandria;
Frank Moncure, of Stafford, and
Francis P. Miller, of Fairfax, and
Senator John w. Rust, of Fair
fax, the bill is being strongly op-
posed by organized dairieS of
Washington, D. c., who have been
able to jump their prices 3 cents
a quart as a result of present reg
ulationS.
The bill is chiefly designed to
reduce the retail prices of milk
sold in the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
area. Explaining provisions of the
bill, Delegate Medley said that
residents of Northern Virginia
could buy milk for 10 and II cents
a quart but for the milk commits

the minimum.

NEW YORK, Dec 27.-Pivotal in
dustrial stocks suffered setback of
fractions to point or more in to-
days market.
At the same time pressure on the
list was comparatively light and a
few alrcrafts, rails and specialties
managed to retain modest advances.
While Steels were among the first
to give ground, they were no worse
than others despite an estimated
drop OF 1923 points in this weeks
mill operations to 1873 per cent of
capacity. The recession was the
largest since the final week of last
May and was bit more than had
been looked for Notwithstanding a
slzable drop usual in December due
to holiday curtailment in industry
generally and lag in buying to re- I.
duce inventories. The rate at this
time in 1887 was 1872 per cent.
The first hour was the best in
volume when most leaders tilted for
ward. Dealings tapered off subse
gently and transfers for the five
hours were around 100000 shares
Prices finished near the days lows.
Although the news was not es-
pecially doleful, year-end tax SELL
ing continued as hampering fac
tor and profit taking on last weeks
late run-up was also plentiful. Most
traders returned from the lengthy
Christmas recess with notable lack
of purchasing ardor.
1t was holiday for the London
market and other European CEN
ters were irregular.
Prominent on the losing side at
nome were United States Steel
General Motors. Chrysler, United
States Rubber, Montgomery Ward,
International Harvester, Consoli-
dated Edison, Anaconda, Kenne-
colt, United States Gypsum, Grev-
hound Corp, Loew's and j. C.

Ahead the greater part of the day
were Boeing, Glenn Martin, Curtiss-
Wright, Bendix, Northern Pacific,
