MARKET SAGS UNDER HEAVY i TRADING DRIVE Many Stock Issues Reach New Lows in Orderly Downswing. ROUT NOT SPECTACULAR 7,746,300 Shares Change Hands as U. S. Steel Leads Action. BY ELMER C. WALZER, Vnited Prm Financial Editor NEW YORK, Nov. 13.—Another tremendous trading day on the Stock Exchange found prices today In a fresh downward rout, with new lows established on many issues. There was nothing of spectacular nature, however. Drops were orderly. Despite the further sags from Tuesday’s lows, there was a confident tone prevailing. The opening was on the tremend- ! ous scale that has characterized i markets ever since the down swing j started a fortnight ago. At the end of the first half hour, it was found that trading had been at the rate of 18,000,000 shares for a full five-hour day. By closing time, trading had eased down somewhat but the day found 7,746,300 shares traded. Ticker Far Behind At 12:50 p. m. the stock ticker was 75 minutes behind. It was estimated it would run until 3:30 before the last quotation was printed. Steel opened at 156, rose to around 160 and then dropped to around 150. It closed Tuesday night at 15314. Steel's low' was anew 1929 low. Dozens of other leaders made new 1929 lows and elsewhere more than 200 shares dropped to new minimum levels for. the year or longer. Huge blocks of stocks held by wealthy individuals were put up for sale. They were taken by individuals who believed that the turn was not far distant. The encouraging thing about the market was that a buyer was found for nearly every offer. This in-1 cheated to traders that the banking I group was taking a hand. How- . ever, that was not verified and no word was given that the banking group had got together today. Steel Comes Back The break in steel was ascribed in some quarters to reports of a falling off in operations of the corporation to 75 per cent of capacity from 80 per cent a week ago. That information, however, was available before the opening and in the first half hour the stock bounded upward from Tuesday’s low. Railroad stocks were supposed to be sold on the decline reported in! car loading for the week ended Nov. 2. These decreased 62.160 from the preceding week and 32,292 cars from the preceding week and 32,292 cars from the same, week of 1928. However, they were still well above 1927. In railroad circles, the falling off was laid to normal seasonal changes and was not considered an indication of poor business ahead. Near the close word came from Washington that no emergency existed. This was made in response to numerous messages suggesting that the government take action in the present economic situation. Accounts Are Reassuring It was said that officials of Washington. after a survey of New York and other financial centers, have accounts vastly more reassuring than those painted in the messages to the White House, treasury - and federal reserve board. The announcement came rather late, but it had an immediate effect on prices. Steel, which had been at 150 flat, rose in five minutes to 151**, American Telephone came back to 201 and several other pivotal issues were bid up somewhat from their lows. SUIT WILL BE HEARD Supreme Court Rules Against Manager Case Dismissal.

Suspected Murderer Cornered Posse of Police Besieges Abandoned Mine Shaft With Tear and Smoke Bomb Barrage. Bu Vnited Press CHARLESTON, W. Va., Nov. 13. Squads of county and state police armed with tear and smoke bombs penetrated an abandoned mine on Cooper’s creek, near here today, in an effort to capture Tom Carte, who is wanted on charges of murdering his landlady, Mrs. Lena Marion. Mrs. Marion was slain two weeks ago when she upbraided Carte for “being too lazy to work.” Carte fled into the hills, but evaded posses which pursued him for three days.

Hill folk residing in the vicinity said th<*y saw a heavily bearded man, presumably Carte, enter the ; mine. He was carrying a shotgun and a sack, apparently full of supplies, they said. Before entering the shaft the officers laid down a barrage of tear ! and smoke bombs, but Carte, if he is in the mine, refused to be dislodged. The officers then began the tedious task of searching each chamber in the old diggings. Threats of mob violence were heard after Mrs. Marion, widowed mother of four children, was slain and there was renewed talk of a lynching today as throngs congregated about the. mouth of the mine. As the search progressed, guards were stationed at the several entrances to prevent Carte’s possible escape. NEW PANEL CALLED Eleven of Jury in Woman's Murder Trial Seated.

LINK RAGAN WITH INDIANA ROBBERIES

Description of Illinois ‘Business Man-Bandit’ Is Similar. Bu Times Special FOWLER, Ind., Nov. 13—Authorities of several Indiana cities, where bank robberies have been committed recently, • today were expected to question William S. Ragan, former Indianapolis business man, who has admitted he played the dual role of bank bandit and prosperous business man. Ragan is in the hospital at Urbana, 111., suffering from gunshot wounds lie admitted he received Friday in an attempt to rob a bank in Fisher, 111., his birthplace. Sheriff Leo McGrath left here for Urbana and said Ragan’s description tallies with that of the oandit who made an unsuccessful attempt to hold up the Oxford (Ind.) bank last Wednesday. McGrath said the would-be robber entered the Oxford bank and, walking to the desk of President J. S. Johnson, whipped a revolver from a portfolio he was carrying. Cashier Ralph Morris witnessed the act and pressed the burglar alarm. The bandit fled in a car similar to the one Ragan was driving when he held up the Illinois bank, McGrath said. Indianapolis police reopened the investigation of the holdup of the Tuxedo State bank today and Jerry Kinney, detective chief, said Ragan’s description is similar to the bandit’s. Ragan was Indianapolis superintendent of the Linde Air Products Company and lived at 4111 East Washington street.

IELSHER’ IS BRAND TOSSED AT LOBBYIST Grundy Is Called ‘Yellow’ by Chairman Caraway at Hearing. PROMISE NOT FULFILLED Refusal to Submit List of ‘Preferred Senators’ Is Turning Point. Bu Vnited Press WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.—Joseph R. Grundy, president of the Pennsylvania Manufacturers Association, was charged with being a “welsher” by Chairman Caraway of the senate lobby investigating committee today after Grundy refused to submit the list of “preferred and common senators” he had promised previously. Grundy blushed at Caraway’s remark, but declared it would be unbecoming for him, a private citizen, to make up such a list. The self-confessed lobbyist from Pennsylvania was called to the stand at the outset of the committee’s hearing today and reminded by Chairman Caraway of his promise to furnish a list of the senators who, Grundy said on a former appearance, should “talk darn small.” Had Contrasted States Grundy had said that senators from certain western states should talk small because they “had no chips” in the game. He contrasted the states’ progressiveness and prosperity with that of Pennsylvania. The committee asked Grundy at the time to name the senators he thought should be put into that classification, but Grundy said he would furnish a list later. When Caraway reminded him of the agreement today, Grundy said he had not understood he was to give such a list of senators, but Caraway said he would call for the official record of the testimony to prove the agreement. Grundy said that was not necessary. “All right,” Caraway said, “I’m going through the list. Let’s begin with Heflin of Alabama, do'you approve of him?” “Senator, it would be unbecoming of me as a private citizen to classify senators in that way,” Grundy said. “When did you decide to welsh?” Remark Is Taken Out “I won’t say that. On reflection and further thought it seemed to rpe it was the backward states I was to name.” “It was a promise, for you to give the list of senators. Do you welsh on it?” “I wouldn’t want to use that term. I made a mistake.” “You became afraid?” “Not afraid. I thought it would be unbecoming.” “That’s all then, Mr. Grundy. I just wanted to see if you would turn yellow, and I thought you would.” “I don’t think that’s fair.” “All right, Mr. Grundy.” Grundy left the stand and took his former seat among the spectators. Caraway then told the official reporter to strike out his remark about Grundy being “yellow.” “After all. I kind of like him,” Caraway said, and he walked around the table to sffake hands with Grundy.
