Sherrill must serve a sentence in the state prison for theft of an automo- bile, the state supreme court ruled today in denying him a writ of su- persedus and affirming sentence pas- sed by the Larimer county court at Fort Collins, Colo. Sherrill, who was captured in Cheyenne, Wyo., a week after flee- ing from Fort Collins in a stolen cark pleaded insanity at the trial.

DEMOCRATIC TAKES VOTED (Continued From Page One) senate then approved the ‘surtax section of the bill as amended, and passed on to ‘consideration of- the tax schedule on small incomes. The Longworth surtax rate of 37% per cent, approved by the house, but set aside by the senate finance commit- tee in favor of the Mellon schedule, ‘was not offered while the surtax pro- visions were under consideration. The senate was acting in commit- tee of the whole, and its decision was not final In a parliamentary sense. In view of the close vote, another roll call probably will be asked for on the surtax schedule when the measure comes up for fi- nal passage. }. After substituting for the Mellon surtax rates the schedule drafted By Senator Simmons, Democrat, North Carolina, and approved by the Demo- cratis conference, the senate also voted in favor of the Simmons tax rates on small incomes. Approval of the Democratic surtax rates was voted 43 to 40 and the vote in favor of the Democratic normal tax schedule was 44 to 37. Under the provisions adopted, the normal rate on incomes below $4,000 would be two percent; on incomes betiveen $4,060 and $8,000 it would be four percent; and on incomes over $8,000 it would be six percent. The surtax would be forty percent. MISSING FLIER NOT FOUND (Continued From Page One) Island across the Alaska peninsula, from here.

STRENGTH Slight Break in Oil Shares Due to Large’ Increase In Gasoline Stocks NEW YORK, May 5.—Except for a temporary break in the ofl shares, based on the publication of statis- es showing a large increase in Basoline stocks, prices displayed a figm tone in today's quiet stock market. Investment raflroad and industrial shares recorded moderate gains. Sales approximated 700,000 shares. Stock prices showed a tendency to resume their forward movement at the opening of today's market, although the advance was resisted by bear operators, who renewed thelr attacks against a few market lead ers. United States Steel and Bald. win yielded fractionally to selling pressure but a wide yariety of cop- per, chemical, specialties and ship- ping shares scored moderate gains. Pool operations in Marine pre. ferred and Colorado Fuel, which at- tained new high levels for the year at 38 and 41% respectively encour- aged renewed buying of representa- tive industries. United States Steel more than recovered its early loss and moved above 99 and Davison Chemical advanced 2%. There were sharp recessions in several minor specialties, including Kayser pre- ferred, which broke three points to @ 1924 low at 82, but soon the en- tire list was tending upward on in- creased dealings. Weakness contin- ued, however, in Pierce Oil pre- ferred.. General sentiment was. helped by the success of the Dawes plan in the German elections and by progress made in the reparations conferences. Foreign exchanges op- ened steady. Strength of, Standard industria! issues was sustained in the fairly brisk trading pace which continued throughout the morning. American Can moved up a point and consp!. cuous strength was displayed by United States Cast Iron Pipe, Schulte, Utah securities and Wil- son preferred, which advanced 1 to’ 2 points. Colorado Fuel and Ma- rine preferred extended their early gains and American International rallied. Reports of increased oper- ations in the railway equipment in- dustry led to a revival of activity in representative shares of this group. Moderate gains were registered by several railroad issues, including Texas and Pacifie, New Orleane Texas and Mexico. Norfolk and Western and Pere Marquette, the latter reaching a new 1924 high at 48%. Call money opened at 31% per cent. Oil shares developed heaviness, co- Incident with a fall in Marland of two points to 32%, the lowest of the year. Various other members of the group ran off one to three points. Their weakness, however, was ig- nored by the remainder of the lst, which was inclined to follow the spirited buying of Baldwin, Stude- baker, Central Leather preferred and the tobaccos. Central Leather preferred improved 3 and Schulte five points. The closing was firm. Standard industrials developed a stronger tone in the final hour, motors, Chemicals and equipments giving the best demonstrations of group strength. pciceeis le A de aD MONEY NEW YORK, May 5.—Call money easy; high 344; low 3%; ruling rate 3%; closing bid 3%; offered at 3%; last loan 3%.

Opening prices, which ranged from 4c decline to %c advance, with May $1.03% to $1.04, and July $1.06%@ % to $1.06%, were followed by a moderate general advance.

They are the McNary-Haugin and the Norris- Sinclair bill. They are Republican measures in that they were pre- pared and introduced by Republican members but they are not partisan bills and are being endorsed by both parties without regard to affilia- tion. They will assist in bringing the basic industry of agriculture to its rightful place and prosperity. Contrary to statements made the McNary-Haugin bill fs not a price- fixing bill. It will not fix prices on the ten or 12 important agricul- tural products and will operate only in case conditions require its oper- ation to a given crop. It does not destroy but will make use of all the present existing agencies and committees. Many banks and bank- ing institutions inclined at first to look with disfavor on the bill have now endorsed it. The Nebraska state Democratic convention la: Friday endorsed the bill also, proof that it is not partisan. It is re- ceiving the very serious study and attention of all members of congress and of the president.” Congressman Winter when he had left Washington he nad been of the opinion that the president would sign the bonus bill but that in the light of the yeto’ot the pension bill he now felt Prest- dent Coolidge would veto the bill. However, Mr. Winter expects to the measure passed over the 88% sald that see veto. In regard to the Japanese exclu- sion act, the congressman stated that he felt sentiment all over the country was for the principle of exclusion, the only consideration being that the bill be worded in such a way as to give the least cause for offense to the Japanese government.
