New York, Aug. 11 (P—The bot- tom virtually dropped out of Man- hattan Electrical Supply on the stock exchange today when fhe price crashed to 75, with a spread of 3 or 4 points between transac- compared with yesterdiy's final figure of 120 1-2. This stock | had recently sold as high as 147 1-2. Recent wild fluctuations in the shares have been the subji investigation by the stock ex authorities, The stock exchange on business directed member firms to submit at once statements on their short and long position in Manhattan Electri- cal stock as of the close of busi- ness August 4, and only yesterday the exchange requested that the firms supply lists showing full lot transactions in the company's com- mon stock made by them from May 20 to August 9 inclusive, Wwith names of interested brokers and purchasers. 2 Early in the year there were vio- lent fluctuations in prices which carried the stock from a low of 53 1-8 to a high of 132 about a week ago, but until today trading has been quiet since the inquiry was begun. ' The break, regarded as the most spectacular in recent stock exhcange history, was attributed to a weak- ened technical position of the stock Short intergsts virtually had been eliminated during the buying, which sent the price soaring appar- ently without regard for the stock's intrinsic worth. This process sud- denly was halted by the announce- ment of the stock exchange inves- tigation and as there evidently was nothing to support the stock, the decline followed naturally. Records diligently were searched for a case analogous as to speea of decline. The nearest to be found was that of Piggly Wiggly, which, on March 20, 1923, opened at 75, soared to 125 and then broke se- verely before the close, falling to 82, committee HAS NARROW ESCAPE Deep River Child Rescued By Boy After Falling Into Water and Belng Swept Through Flume.

His plan calls for a two-story shelter house which would be built entirely by subscription. Mr. Greenberg, who developed the Hebrew Free Loan association to its present high position, decries the fact that people from out of the city, who have found themselves without money, are forced to go to the police station for shelter. According to his plan the entire structure will be built through sub- scriptions. As soon as the associa- tion receives a plot of land in a cen- tral location, it will begin plans for the structure, Mr. Greenberg said. One person has already indicated that he is considering granting the land while another, a brick mer- chant in Berlin, has offcred to sup- ply half the bricks for the building. Recently Mr. Greenberg received an offer from a company of its willing- ness to dig the cellar. The proposed bullding will meas- ure 60 by 40 feet and will be two storfes high and will house the He- brew Free Loan association offices on the lower floor and have a dor- mitory of 12 rooms on the second floor. Four rooms would be used for the janitor who will live in the place and the other eight will be divided, six for men and two for women. Although the Hebrew organiza- tion is sponsoring the movement, it will not be for Hebrews alone and, will be nonsectarian. The name of the building I8 not likely to have a direct relationship with the organi- zatlon. The title “The New Britain Shelter House” has been chosen. In the case of the young girl or Iboy who is found at night in need of a place to sleep, the house will accomodate him or her and will try to bring about a reunion of the mother and father through the po- lice department.

Boston, Aug. 11 (P—Judge San lerson of the Massachusetts suprem: ourt today announced that he would llow exceptions to go before the ull bench on his denial of & writ of rror in the case of Sacco and Van- zetti, The announcement came after a conference of more than two hours |in chambers with Arthur D. Hill, fense counsel, and Attorney Gen- Arthur K. Reading. A bill of | exceptions was finally agreed upon and after this has been formally fworked up and approved, Judge San- derson indicated that he would allow it. It was said that the four justices uf the supreme court who will hear the exceptions were all within 24 hours’ journey of the court house {and already been notified to hold | themseives in readiness for the ses- sion which will probably be on Tues- day morning.

Dr. McLaughlin, the prison physi- cian, after his daily visit to Sacco, Vanzetti and Madeiros said that each appeared in much better spir- its today. “You ought to eat,” the physician told Sacco. “No,” he replied, “that’s my state of mind. I am not going to eat.” Sacco is now in the 25th day of his hunger strike and refused food today although Vanzetti drank his breakfast coffee.

One bill of exceptions was to Judge Thayer’s refusal of Attorney Arthur D.
