CHEAPER CALL MONEY BOOSTS STOCK PRICES deduction to 1 Per Cent Is Signal for Bears to Cover. Average Stock Prices of twenty industrial* for Saturday wax 151 31, ofl 3.10. Average of twenty rails was 86 60. off .26. Average of twenty utilities was 60.46. off 1.20. Average of forty bonds v.as 95.10. up .15. BY ELMER C. YVALZER t nileil Press Financial Friitor NEW YORK, May 11.—With call money renewing at 1 per cent for the first time since 1903, bears took fright and covered commitments after another successful attack on the leading industrials and rails in the first hour on the Stock Exchange today. Prices were irregularly lower at the opening. Then a drive against United States Steel, j. I. Case and several of the rails, including Northern Pacific, Pennsylvania and New York Central, caused liquidation in other sections of the list. Few Weak Spots This pressure was insufficient to rout the long holders generally and when the money renewal rate was announced bears covered. Around noon the list was higher in most sections, gains ranging to a point. There were still a few weak spots, notable of which was Fox Film A. which hit anew low at 14%, off 3lk, and Union Carbide at 491% off 2%. Utilities came back to show fractional gains, while oils ruled steady to firm. Gold Dust rallied after touching anew low for the year, while Woolworth continued to feature the mercantile division. Motor shares firmed up and Auburn rallied from 235 to 243, the latter being up 5 points from the previous close. Copper Shares Firm Around noon Steel was at 112, up **, American Can 107%, up Li; general Electric 45%, up •%; United Aircraft 32%, up 1; McKeesport Tin Plate 85, up %>; General Motors 44, up '.i, and Allied Chemical 124, up 1%. Copper shares firmed up after an early decline. Trading was again dull with tickers barely moving around noon. A few large blocks appeared in the initial trading, the feature being 3,300 shares of Gold Dust at 31, off %, and anew 1931 low. Sales in the first half hour totaled only 200,000. the same as those in the corresponding period Saturday.

By United Press NEW YORK, May 11.—A pair of Pince Nez glasses today proved the undoing of a band of five men whom police accuse of holding up banks in several eastern cities for almost $1,000,000. The gang was trailed night and day for nearly nine weeks before police arrested them. They have been definitely linked with seven holdups, according to police. Their downfall came when two detectives discovered Robert Maple of New York, a well-dressed man of middle age and wearing a pair of pince-nez g’asses leaving a bank. Shortly before each holdup, they said, bank officials reported that such a mem had visited them on one pretext or another, apparently to “spot” the layout of the bank.

On request, sent with stamped addressed envelope, Mr. Ripley will furnish proof of anything depicted by him.

Following Is the explanation of Ripley’s “Believe It or Not,” which appeared in Saturday’s Times: Pat Caraway—ln the second game Caraway played in organized baseball (he was with Terre Haute in the Three-Eye League), he relieved Tex Nugent on the mound in the fifth inning of a game with Bloomington. The bases were full and on the first ball Caraway pitched the batsman hit a hard grounder to Usatt, third baseman, who touched third and then threw to second, and second threw to first, completing a triple play, forcing runners on all bases. Caraway now is with the Chicago White Sox. A Horned Toad Never Drinks— The horned lizard (Phrynosoma cornutum), or horned toad, as it commonly is called, is, in many respects a remaTkable specimen of the lizard family. They always are small feeders, and are capable of undergoing long fasts with impunity. As they are habituated to a. dry atmosphere, they never drink, and may be sent long distances by parcel post, packed in dry waddings.
