PHOTO GASE HEARD BEFORE TRACESKI Johmson Co. Claims $72—Fish Says Bill High The early part of the small claims court session this afternoon was | taken up with the case of the John- | son Photo Service’ Cq. against I | Fish and resolved itself into a dis- cussion of whether the defendant owed the plaintiff as much money was claimed in the action. The plaintiff claims that the de- fendant was indebted to the extent of $72 for pictures which he had or- dered taken of a food display. The counter-claim of the defendant was to the effect that he was agreeable to pay for what pictures he used, but could see no reason why he should pay! for something that he never used or could not use. After a long discussion of the mat- ter between the plaintiff and the defendant’s attorney, Cyril F. Gaff- ney, Judge Traceski recommended that the principals in the case settle The matter in an amicable manner. The case of Harry Zevin acfing as the executor of the estate of the late B. Marholin against Nels J. Nelson for the sum of $50 was continued for one week. Nelson claims that the amount of the debt is misrepresent.- ed as he only owes half the amount.

BOND ADVANCES MODERATE TODAY Institutional Demand for Tnvest- ment Securities Market Tonic New York, Oct. 3 (P—Institu- tional demand for investment se- curities carried the best grade bonds forward at a moderate pace today. The volume of business was some- what under the previous session, ascribed in part to the appearance of several large offerings. The largest piece of new financing was the $20,000,000 4% per cent bond issue of the Shawinigan Water and Power Company. Others were $10,000,000 Superpower Company of | Illinofs 4%s and $6,000,000 Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company 4%s. Considerable interest was mani- fested in bond circles in reports that arrangements for floating a $100,- 000,000 bond issue for the Canas government in American mark were being discussed. While there was disposition in financial circles to atfach credence to the report, no confirmation was forthcoming. Such financing would be the largest for- eign loan sought this year fff the American market, being slightly larger than the $98,500,000 German 5 1-2 per cent international loan. Foreign financing in the United States so far this year is far in ex- cess of 1929 when high interest rates discouraged such loans. Despite the irregularity that has developed this week in the market, the necessity faced by savings banks and other institutions of investing large funds has maintained the strong trend of legals and those rated slightly below. Atchison 4s, Baltimore and Ohio 5s, Pennsyi- vania 5s, Chesapeake and Ohio 4 1-25, American Telephone 58, Con- solidated Gas 5 1-2s, Columbia Gas and Electric 55 and Paclfic Gas and electric 5s were among the issues that advanced. California Gas and Electric 55, Philadelphia Electric 4 1-25, and North American Edison 55 were particularly buoyant. The stock privilege list was active and irregular. Changes were princi- pally fractional. International Tele- phone 4 1-2's, Philadelphia Reading Coal and Iron 6's and Warner Brothers 6's reflected some buying. The foreign group remained spot- ty but the best loans ruled firm. utaro Nitrate 6's, warrant bond, broke to a new year's low on the movement. The company has exten- sive interests in South American countries, disturbed by changes in government. Recognition of the present Bolivian government was reflected in the firming of Bolivian governments. German and Italian issues were well bought. U. S. governments were firm. Assembly Pays Tribute To Stresemann Today Geneva, Oct. 3 (A—The assembly of the League of Natfons stood in silence several moments today on the occasion of the first anniversary of death of Gustav Stresemann, German post-war foreign minister. Count Von Bernstorff expressed Germany's profound appreciation at the tribute. He said the best honor that could be paid Dr. Stresemann would be to continue his policy of international conciliation. Deaths Mrs. Emma L. Packard Mrs. Emma L. Packard, aged 82, formerly of this gity, died )Esterday afternoon at her home in South Manchester, having removed there from this city eight years ago. $urviving are a daughter, Mrs. C. H.

The favorable brokers’ figures, now at their lowest total in" about three years, speculative confidence moderately, but only in a few instances did the shorts exhibit much eagerness to cover. Oils made a fairly good showing. Gulf got a few points above 100 for the first time in several days Cosden, which has been a weak fea- ture, rallied on covering and Humble climbed a couple of points. Cities Service and Standard of In- diana were firm. Gains in the utilities held gener- ally to fractions, although some of the favorites, including Bond & Share, United Light A" and Amer- itan Gas & Electric, rose one to two points or so. Technicolor and Driver Harris made fair advances and there were small- er gains in Niles Bement Porngd, | American Cyanamid “B"”, Ford of Canada “A"”, and Swift. Fokker | eased:. A. O. Smith, which reports record large shipments of pipe for new natural gas lines, rose several points in its familiarly thin market. Changes were small in the active investment trust issues. Call money renewed on the curb at 21 per cent. HELLEY REFUSES 10 AIR CHARGES Nye Says Oil Man's Statement Deserves Inquiry Washington, Oct. S. Kelley, former head of the land maladministration of Colorado oil shale lands, declined today to lay his case before the department of Justice. Kelley loft his hotel this morning | for a conference at the capitol with | Chairman Nye, of the scnate lands committee. He received a letter last night from Assistant Attorney General Seth W. Richardson, who is con- ducting the federal investigation. He said he would not reply until later. Richardson’s office said today he itement, in when he could expect a inaming specific oil shale cases Richardson tried un- | successtully throughout yesterday to reach Kelley for a conferenc: help but be impressed by moving Kelley at this ge,” Nye said. “I think he is en- fitled to thorough hearing.” The North Dakotan said if the de- partment of justice did not take ac- tion on Kelley's charges he “feel required to introduce a resolu- tion in the senate calling for an in- vestigation.” Nye explained Kelley had - not laid his case before Assistant At- torney General Seth W. Richard- son, who has been assigned to com- duct the investigation, because of a ‘belief that Richardson has pre- judged his case.” Nye talked with the assistant at- torney general by telephone im- mediately after his conference with the Denver official, telling Richard- son Kelley was J‘displeased” be- cause he thought his case prejudged. Kelley told newspapermen he ex- pected to make public his full charges within the next few days. Await Kelley Story ‘Washington, Oct. 3 (A—Two in- quisitors into charges of oil lani maladministration were “at home’ today to Ralph Kelley, former in- terior department official who ha accused Secretary Wilbur of favo: itlsm to large oil companies, and one at least appeared assured of hearing the full story. While Seth,W. Richardsoh, assist- ant attorney general assigned to in- vestigate the charges at Wilbur's re- quest, failed to get in touch with Kelley yesterday although he dis- patched messengers to the latter's hotel and called him repeatedly on the telgphone, Chairman Nye gf the the city from a brief trip to hear| ing him. Nye' had written Kelley earlier in the week asking a conference. Rich- ardson held out to Kelley the in- ducement of an office and a sten- ographer to aid him in making out a detailed statement of his accusa- tions, but so far apparently had not succeeded in interesting Kelley. Insists On Telling Kelley has said he will “insist upon the opportunity” to substanti- ate in full all his charges. . On Nye's conference with Kelley depends to a large extent whether a senate inquiry of the charges will be undertaken. Both the senator and Richardson are well acquainted with oil fraud charges| having had charge of separate inquiries into al- legations concerning the leases on the Salt Creek fields in Wyoming. Exhaustive inquiry resulted in t withdrawal of complaints against these leases but both the senator and the assistant attorney general are looking for any clue which may have a bearing on them. Nye saw a possibility that something of this sort might appear in Kelley's com- plaint.

Business news remained of an in- | different character, but the sharp | weekly brokerage loan tabulation, {the remarks of President Hoover | beforé the American_Bankers' asso- clation, and the resistance offered | to selling pressure in the preceding fon of the market, instilled con- siderable cautious optimism. The pace of trading again slack- cued but a large assortment of | icading shares gained 2 points or | more. Bear selling of the mail or- der and a few of the rail shares around midday failed to make head- way. Shares il to more than 3 points included U. S.

Climax Reached Commission houses were not in- clined to look for any run-away bull market, but several felt that yes- | terday's action tended to indicate that the September decline had rcached a fairly definite climax on Tuesday.
