Business Well Ahead
Of Year Ago, Says
Hopkins in Report
Reflects Continuation of
Recovery Movement;
Sees Good Prospects
By the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
Secretary of Commerce Hopkins
said today business progress during
July represented a continuation of
a recovery movement started in
May, with activity we'll ahead of a
year ago in all major lines.
Prospects for third-quarter busi-
ness have improved, he said. and
business policies generally reflect
less hesitancy.
Retailer commitments in whole
sale markets are enlarged, Secretary
Hopkins report showed, and in
dustriaf purchasing has expanded.
Orders IN many clothing lines show
ing substantial gains over the earlier
part OF the year were cited as indi-
catlve OF the more confident attitude
toward fall business.
Construction at Seasonal Peak.
Construction operations were at a
seasonal peak, activity in the in
dustry being even greater than in
the summer of 1887.
Retail trade In July was well
ahead OF year ago, with marked
gains in consumers durable goods
such as automobiles, refrigerators.
furniture and electrical appliances
and gasoline consumption was at
record levels
Consumers budgets were said to
have benefited from lower food costs
as compared with year ago. Con-
sumers' incomes in July were on a
higher seasonally adjusted basis
than in June, following a substantial
rise in employees compensation from
May to June.
industrial activity in July main
tanned a better than seasonal pace:
movement of freight increased more
than was seasonally expected and
was II per cent higher than in July,
1888.
Steel Production Rises.
The rise in steel production from
the June average of SO per cent of
capacity to so per cent by the end
OF July was one of the outstanding
developments, the Secretary said.
Automobile production was tenn
porarily slack, because of a change
over to new models earlier than
usual, but preparations for the 1910
cars are under way actively.
Activity in most lines Jagged be-
hlnd the summer of 1887. Secretary
Hopkins said. Durable goods indus
tries compare unfavorably with that
period. Consumers goods indus
tries are about the same.
Increases are shown in shipbuild-

With Memories of Life
On Virginia VeIdt

STAUNTON, Va. Aug. 8.-Elu-
sive Elsie, the elephant, returned
to the din of circus life today after
33l 2 hours of frisky freedom on a
Virginia veldt.
She left behind a tired group of
native beaters, Virginians who took
home with them tales of an ele-
phant hunt that developed into
game Of hide and seek near the
Mint Springs community in Au-
gusta County.
Elsie ran away with the game
while the hunt stayed on the
ground. But she was crossed up.
Some one took an airplane and
began soaring over hill and dale
Elsie was spotted with ease down
there in the green woods. She looked
like a bald gray rock on a noun
tain top.
Frightened by the crackup of a
circus trailer in which another
elephant and an attendant were
killed Sunday morning, Elsie ran
away. leaving behind trail of
trampled fences and disconnected
circus folk.
A couple of other elephants were
staked out in a field as lure. Elsie
was not interested. The hunt was
renewed with vigor yesterday. Great
Virginia huntsmen went into the
hills after the elephant and spotted
Elsie.
She Just turned around, chased
three of them up a tree and went
deeper into the woods.
Then the man in the airplane
snitched to circus folks where Elsie
was hiding. They came and led
her out.

Republicans are too few to in

In the background of the current

Lands Sets Issues
For Bridges Defense,

Legion Investigator Is
Put Straight; Examiner
Quizzes Him Closely

By the Associated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 8-Harry
Bridges defense attorneys had clear
cut rulings today from Presiding
Examiner James M. Lands on issues
to be considered in the West Coast
labor leaders deportation hearing.
Two rulings were given by Dean
Lands while Harper Knowles, who
said he was an anti-radical investi-
gator fo' the American Legion, was
on the stand yesterday as an ad-
verse defense witness.
The defense received directions
from Mr. Lands that it could not
go extensively into ramifications of
organizations or interests hunting
out subversive activities unless it
could show a direct connection be-
tween improper inducements al
legedly offered Government wit
nesses 10 appear against Mr.. Bridges,
and Government officials
Such bits of evidence, he said,
must be clearly connected in this
way if they were to be "other than
the flowers that bloom in the spring
and that has nothing to do with
this case
Richard Gladstein of the defense
counsel said he would make the
s"tieup."
Witness Confused on Law in Case.
The Harvard Law School dean
asked Mr.. Knowles, Did you think
that aliens were deportable on the
ground that they were undesirable?"
Yes" replied Mr.. Knowles
Have you read the laws on this
point?"
Yes"
Il have them here, Mr.. Knowles,
and I cannot find anything in the
statutes of the United States which
says that an alien is deportable on
the ground that he is merely an un-
desirable"
An alien which would advocate
the overthrow of the Government
would be an undesirable alien"
argued the witness.
Quite remarked Mr. Lands.
But the fact that hen is a chicken
doesn't prove that every chicken is
a hen. The fact that an alien
is undesirable does not necessarily
mean that he advocates the over
throw of the Government by force
and violence. To you he may
be undesirable because he wears
orange ties on St. Patrick's Day
- Have you made that distinction
very carefully, Mr.. Knowles, in your
discussion of this matter?'
Il think So"
Lands Upbraids Knowles.
You think so. 1t is very impor-
tant that you should make that dis
tlnction. is it not?'
Mr.. Lands also asked MI. Knowles
If it would not be fair to say Mr..
Knowles had been ''proponent of
the deportation of Mr.. Bridges"
To that Knowles replied his in
terest covered "a great many alien
cases."
Mr.. Knowles repeated yesterday
some of the testimony about sub
versive activities investigation which
received wide public notice last fall
when he testified before the Dies
Committee in Washington. At that
time, DR.. Henry G. Waters of Wat
sonville, State commander of the
American Legion, declared Mr..
Knowles was not representing the
legion in Washington and legion
officials had not even known he was
going. Mr.. Knowles was chairman
OF the legion's Radical Research
Committee in California.
