DISTRESS LIQUIDATION IS BELIEVED COMPLETED, Brokers Express View That Market | Has Reached Bottom Price Level. BY STANLEY W. PRENOSIL, Associated Press Financial Editor. NEW YORK, November 7.—Breaking sharply to new low ground on what ap- peared to be further distress selling at the opening today, stock prices there- upon rallied in spectacular fashion, wiping out most of the early declines ©of 85 to nearly $32 a share in the lead- ing issues, and converting many of them into gains, ranging from $1 to $18 & share. It was one of the most im- Ppressive recoveries since the current “bear” market started with the disas- trous break of October 24. See End of Decline. | Many brokers accepted the strong buying support which came into the market after the first flurry of selling had subsided as evidence that the mar- ket had “struck bottom,” at least for the time being, and that the bulk of the distress stock that has been over- the market had been cleaned . e rally started before the end y the first hour and continued through to the close, showed some _concessions although final prices from the 'S h levels. “!yn lh;ardnnce with the ruling -the :fiffl:’ of trading Monday, today’s ses- ‘was limited to three hours, closing at 1 pm.

Dawes’ visit to the White House this week, the well known under- slung pipe has been a steady companion, but that peculiar fold-over collar with a V opening in front has been replaced by the more Orthodox wing neckwear. ‘This much Yght was thrown on the situation today by Rufus C. Dawes, the general’s brother, who is visiting in Washington. The change came about because “of the exigencies of London haberdashers,” said Rufus, adding that the British apparently never heard of that odd collar of his brether’s. ‘When Gen. Dawes himself was asked about it, he waived his hand in mock serfousness in much the same manner he did when he was asked some time ago about silk stockings and knee breeches, asserting: “I won't say a thing about anything like that.” ARNOLD ASSALED AT LOBBY HEARING Southern Tariff Association Head Defends Self Under Fire. J .A. Arnold, general manager of the Southern Tariff Association, was pic- tured as unfair to the interests he pre- sumed to serve today by the Senate lobby committee, which inquired further into his political activities in behalf of certain agricultural rates in the tariff| ill, Numerous letters purporting to reveal Arnold’s interest in asking the two Democratic Florida Senators, Fletcher and Trammell, to support the whole bill in exchange for higher rates on Florida products, and the elimination of the so-called seasonal provision, were read into the committee record. Arnold was described by Senator Blaine, Republican, of Wisconsin, as determined to force the Florida Senators to vote according to the tariff associa- tion's wishes by using every influence, political, financial and social, at his command. Arnold denied any euch activities. It was not .necessary to “whip the firm- Senators in line,” he said, add- t it was nt to o them of the reasonableness of their position.

In letters to the two Senators. Arnold wrote that the farm group met last October and that Senator Brookigart, Republican, of Iowa, stated that he d Sénator Frazier, Republican, of Nbrth Dakota, were &rapol\nl to offer 75 amendments raising Midwestern rates, Arnokd advised the administra- tion leaders that Brookhart had said the insurgents would support the Demo- crats in opposing the flexible provision in return for Democratic #support for the higher Western rates. Arnold said further in his letters that these rates were higher than the House bill and | 1 | higher than those the farm group had asked for. Senator Blaine, Republican, consin, and Senator Caraway, Demo- crat of Arkansas, chairman, were: unable to elicit from Arnold a satisfac- tory explanation of why he conveyed this information to the Republican lead- ers, Arnold insisted he knew no reason why he should not convey it to any- body and said it was merely to give them “information.” “You claim to have been associated with the farm group and to have co- operated with them in writing the tarift bill,” Blaine observed, .“and you were slipping information of the farm group confercnce, not generally known, to Republican leaders. Did you give the information to anybody else?” Arnold sald he did not think so. Denies Use of Pressure. When the Fletcher correspondence was touched on, Senator Blaine asked Arnold if the purpose of his organiza- tion was not to use the “ax-handle” on the Florida Senators to force them to support the bill as a whole.

Mechanician “physicians” last night doctored the “robot pilot,” newest ar- rival in the ranks of Army aviators, and early this morning the little box which yesterday proved it could pilot a plane in straight, level flight as well as any aviator, was “well” enough to pllot its charge, a tri-motored Army transport, from Bolling Field to Mitchel Field, Long Island. ‘The “robot pilot,” its power plant out of commission, arrived in Washington for the first time yesterday afternoon, after a flight from Dayton, Ohlo, in which it did most of the work of keep- ing the ship.on a-true and level course. ‘The mechanical plane piloting device, invention of Elmer A. Sperry, developer of other gyroseopic devices, took charge of the transport’s controls shortly after the plane took the air this morning ahd piloted it to the Long Island landing fleld The plane was taken off by Maj. A. H. Gilkeson of Wright Field, Dayton. who also landed it at its Long Island destination. At Mitchel Field the “robot” will be given further tests and demonstrated for Army aviators. Generator Is Repaired. The transport arrived in Washington yesterday afternoon with Maj. Gilkeson at the controls, after the mechanical pilot’s power plant, a wind-driven generator mounted on the plane, had gone out of commission near Leesburg, Va. Up to that time the mechanical pllot had had complete charge of the plane and piloted it safely on its way. Only slight repairs were necessary to put the device in order and these were made at Bolling Field last night while the transport’s crew spent the night in the Capital. G Up to the time of the failure of the generator yesterday afternoon the mechanical pilot functioned perfectly, it is reported by the Army flyers who are accompanying the little box on its flights. Once on the flight, they report, it took the big plane safely and evenlw through a fog ba Unequal, however, in its present stage of development, to landing and taking off, these services were performed for the robot aviator by the “human element” aboard. More sensitive to changes in flying conditions, and lacking the “human element” probability of error, the mechanical pilot guides the plane through the air more surely, more steadlly, than any human pilot. It needs only human brains to direct its work, to check its operations, and, occasionally human help when sudden gusts of wind drive the ship from its course, Device Weighs 50 Pounds. The device weighs only 50 pounds. Its mechanism is housed in a box 14 by 14 by 10 inches, which can be placed beneatn the pilot's seat of a plane. The ALLEN PROPOSES VIGOROUS FIGHT - AGAINGT SENTENCE Attorneys Begin Preparation of Appeal From Dismissal Verdict. EXCESSIVE PUNISHMENT TO BE GROUND OF PLEA Expected to Be Filed With Com- missioners Tomorrow—Pratt Goes Duck Hunting. Adopting the famous Salvation Army war-time slogan, “A man may be down, but never out,” Policeman Robert J. Allen announced today that he proposed to fight more vigorously than ever to prevent the imposition of the sentence of dismissal decreed by the police trial board, which yesterday found him guilty on charges of insuhordination and conduct unbecoming an officer. Allen’s attitude was in marked con- trast to the submissive position he took before the trial board when he said with a cynical air that he was aware that his career on the police force was at an end and that it was futile for him to fight any longer. “I am not licked yet, however,” he declared reas- suringly today. “and I intend to go on fighting just the same as in the past.” Attorneys Prepare Appeal. In the meantime, Allen's attorneys, H. Ralph Burton and Tench T. Marye, jan preparation of an appeal to the District Commissioners from the Trial Board’s verdict. The policeman’s fate rests with the Commissioners, who have the power to modify or set aside the Trial Board's findings. Once before he escaped removal through the medium of an a to the Commissioners, who set aside the Trial Board's verdict. In this case the officer was found guilty of unwarranted use of his revolver in ‘wounding a colored boy. Marye indicated that the appeal prob- ably would not be filed until tomorrow. Allen has four more days in which to make the move which will automatically stay the sentence pending & review of appeal is entertained. s ‘The appeal, it was said, will be based on grounds that the punishment stipu- lated by the trial board is out of all proportion to the offense: that the board did not give sufficient consideration to the case, and that the decision to de- prive the officer of his reputation and means of livelihood could not have been reached fairly in 15 minutes, the length of the l§ard’s deliberation after. the close of tile trial. Pleaded His Own Case. Neither Burton nor Marye repre- sented Allen at his trial and he pleaded his own case. liceman said he did not avail of their services before the trial board “to spare them the humiliation of p‘rflmfinl in that hideous travesty on jus which re- sulted in my sentence of dismissal from the force.” “There is no question of the sin- cerity of either Burton or Marye to represent me at the trial,” Allen added, “This was evidenced by the fact that when I ‘informed them that I was financially embarrassed, they offered their services without fees. They both agreed with me that it would not have been much use in view of the attitude of police officials who were determined to get rid of me at any cost, irrespec- tive of whether I was innocent or guilty.” official report of the trial The board's findings, beafing the indorse- ment of Maj. Henry G. Pratt, superin- tendent of police, was forwarded today to the Commissioners. No action will be taken by the Commissioners pending the receipt of Allen's appeal. Must Confirm Finding. ‘The Commissioners, however, must confirm a police trial board’s findings before the sentence can be carried out. It is customary for them to wait five days, the period in which the notice of an appeal may be filed, before acting on a trial board case. If an appeal is entertained, 10 days are allowed for its perfection. Allen, therefore, is not like- Iy to know his fate for nearly a month, since the Commissioners may take & week or more to review the case. Maj. Pratt, who preferred the charges on which Allen was convicted, tossed the cares of his office into the back- ground today and went on a duck-hunt- ing expedition. Inspector E. W. Brown, in charge of the Traffic Bureau., and one of the three assistant superintend- ents, occupled Maj. Pratt's office. Doyle Goes on Trial Monday. Capt. Robert E.

With these con- trols constantly under the mechanical pilot's care in flight, the airplane is sensitive, it is claimed, to a movement of one-half of 1 degree about its axis. The average human pilot is reported fas less sensitive. It has been under 50 hours of tests, in all sorts of weather, on flights be- tween New York and New Bedford, Mass., and between New York and Day- ton. The Army's experiments with it have been under the direction of Lieut. Albert F. Hegenberger of California-to- Hawail flight fame. Eighteen years have been spent in the development of the mechanical pilot. It was with a device of this order that Lawrence Sperry, son of the inventor, m 1914 won a “safety in flight” prize of 20,000 francs. Young Sperry later was killed in the English Channel. In the plane when it arrived at Bolling Field yesterdey afternoon were Mr. Sperry, Lieut. Hegenberger, Maj. Gilkeson, chief of the equipment branch at Wright Field, and Capt. Cyrus A. Blair of the Army Air Corps, developers of the device. ‘The value of the device for getting transport pilots through fog banks on an even keel and for night flying is in- estimable, its designers claim. For all fiying 1t offers the pilot relief from the every-minute watchfulness that is nce- eéssary in cross-country flying as it is known today. one of the King to Go to Theater.

A golden rivet, completing the ring, was to bs driven home by Rear Ad- miral Willlam A. Moffett while the dirigible Los Angeles, a fleet of blimps {and numerous airplanes circled over- head. The admiral, who as chief of the Navy Bureau-of Aerongutics is su- pervising the construction. Other naval officers and officials of the Goodyear- Zeppelin Corporation, the builders, were scheduled to speak.

Rosendahl of | the Lakehurst Naval Air Station will be presented with the medal of honor of the “Light Internationale des Avia- tors” and Ward' T. Van Orman of Ak- ron will receive the James Gordon Ben- | nett trophy as winner of the last in- ternational balloon race. Guests will include Gov. Fred W. Green of Michi- gan, Senator Hiram W. Bingham of | Connecticut and Assistant Secretary of the Navy Jahncke. . The ZRS-4 will be 785 feet long, 146 feet high and will have a capacity for | helium gas of 6,500,000 cubic feet. The Los Angeles, with its 2,500,000 cubic feet, and the Graf Zeppelin, with its 3,700,000, are small in comparison. Its vulnerability has been reduced as low as ble with the present knowledge of engineering. Among other features, it will be equipped with five airplanss to maneuver about and ward off attack.
