TWO CENTS. TRADING METHODS OF SHORT SELLERS BARED BY BROKER Brush, Vetcran Trader, Says Time to Sell Short Is on Rising Market BEARS CANNOT RAID EXCHANGE, HE HOLDS Tells How Prices Might Be Forced Down by Heavy Sales—Rocke- feller to Fellow. By the Associated Press A veteran Wall Street trader, Matthew C. sh, testified to the Senate Bank- ing Committee today that under certain conditions short selling could depress the stock market, but he denied there had been bear raids in recent months. Committee members leaned forward over the long table to hear every word as the gray-haired operator gave an inside story of playing the market and told of being as much as 125,000 shares cn both sides of the market at various times. Brush said short sales could depress the market by creating a supply in ex- cess of demand, and drew a laugh when he added he expected to “get shot” when he returned to New York for that sdmission. Attitude Pleases Senators. After the hearing, Senators ex- pressed themselves as pleased by the attitude taken by Brush. Senator Brogkhart (Republican, Iowa), one of the’Severest critics of Wall Street, shook hands with the witness. The committee division over the in- quiry and the manner of conducting it flared openly, however. Senator Cou- zens took William A. Gray, the counsel, to task for his manner of examination —contending he did not dig deeply enough into the situation. Bear raiding. Brush said, does not exist on the exchange now because of restrictions placed on short selling. Questioned, he sald “I don't think my short account has any more effect on the condition of the country than a rabbit.” Brush did not revea! his present short holdings. ‘Wall Street Entertained. ‘Wall Street was much entertained, if not particularly enlightened, by publi- cation of the list of short accounts, WIMBLEY LEAVES He was the first of a group M necticut and Brush.

STAND N COLLPSE Weeps as He Tells Jury Wife Drowned as Result of Accident. Harry C. Wimbley this afternoon | cried as he told his version of the drowning of his wife, which the Gov- ernment charges was & murder perpe- trated by him and John M. Crowder, then collapsed on the witness stand in District Supreme Court, where he is on trial He told the jury the canoe turned over in the middle of the Chesapeake & Ohio Canal last September 17, when his wife and her baby were fishing in midstream, according to a New York dispatch. “Big names” were disappointingly few, and the abundance of corporations nll unheard-of names, “dummy corporations” fori for the purpose of holding certain ac- counts, was confusing there. Wali Street had considerable fun in trying to identify several of the corpo- rations, paritcularly the American Brush Co. The only such firm listed in New: York in reference books was not on Wall ‘street, but the Bowery, of all places, obviously not the firm men- tioned. Associates of Brush, however, laughingly said that if the company had been named “Matt Brush, Inc,” it might have been more appropriate. The few “lady bears” listed were not easy to identify. The obvious explana- tion advanced was that the names might include secretaries of prominent executives. Among the leaders who have been associated with the short side of the market, notably, Brush and Rocke- feller, who betweeu them hold director- ates on the boards of close to a hun- dred corporations, the name of Brush apprared as a short seller, b % Rocke- felier's was lacking. Well down on the list was the name of a Spanish grandee—Marguis de San Miguel. _Available records disclose that (Continued on , Column 4.)

GOULD LINCOLN, Staff Correspondent of The Star. PHILADELPHIA, April 22.—Penn- sylvania Republicans are staging a/ great wet and dry fight in their sena- torial primary, which takes place Tues- day. The wets are expected to win. Senator James J. Davis, who had the approval of the Anti-Saloon League when he ran for the nomination two years ago, is supporting the wet cause. Against him is pitted that veteran of many battles, Maj. Gen. Smedley D. Butler, U. 8. Marine Corps, retired, | who is holding aloft the banner of pro- | hibition.

The drys are certainly “sore” when they speak of Senator Davis.

They are going the limit in this campaign to beat Davis, But the prohibition issue is not all that is involved in the senatorial pri- mary campaign. Gov. Pinchot, who has made Gen.

J, April 22—Back from a mysterious trip, Col. Charles A. Lindbergh conferred early today with persons helping him in his at- tempts to get his kidnaped son back. The flying colonel, absent two days during which he apparently tried to establish contact with the kidnapers, drove into his Sourland Hill home about midnight. Immediately lights shone from many windows in the house and activity was apparent. An automobile owned by Edmund Bruce of Elmira, John H. Curtis of Norfolk, drove into the estate Witnesses sald the driver resembled Bruce. Two men sat on the rear seat. Mr. Curtis, one of three Norfolk intermediaries assisting Lindbergh, has conferred frequently with the fiyer. A man traveling under the name “H. Pearson,” but believed to be Dean H.

He has sald he believes | he, Curtis and Rear Admiral Guy H. Burrage of Norfolk are in touch with the kidnapers. There was no announcement as to the purpose or destination of the trip that Col.
