S Staff Correspondent) NEW YORK, May 15.—A slowly advancing tendency characterized trading on the stock exchange today. The improvement was by no means important, nor was it the result of any noteworthy change in outside conditions. How long the present condition will last is a matter of conjecture. Its discontinuance greatly depends on the final outcome of such legislative measures as the tax, bonus and farm relief bills and the results of the political conventions. Wall Street is particularly interested in the stand President Coolidge will take on tax legislation. Having sensed the futility of pressing yesterday's downward movement any further except in isolated cases, the professional element took to covering in the second hour, resulting in a gradually hardening trend all around. Shipping shares were mostly benefitted by the change in sentiment. Oil stocks reflected accumulation in anticipation of record breaking consumption with the advent of more seasonable weather. The increase in domestic crude oil production for the week ending May 10, was ignored. Copper were heavy in the early dealings in connection with the weakness in the yellow metal, Anaconda reaching a new low for 1924 at 36. Steel shares ruled higher on reports of increasing firmness in pig iron. Railroad shares were sustained by a carload statement for the week ended May 2, showing loadings materially larger than those in the previous week. Money conditions were easy, call loans renewing and ruling at 2½ per cent. Foreign exchanges developed weakness, especially French francs due to cables telling of difficulties within the majority bloc of the left which makes doubtful the orlando miller still champion (By Sorgum Sprout) Orlando Miller is still the champion of Fullerton, Brea and way points. He flopped big man Stroh twice while the driller was getting one fall. Was a great match. Miller looked to have taken in too much tory when he entered the with such a big man, and after few minutes wrestling Millier chances looked worse. Stroh is not only a giant weight but is also a giant strength. He reminds one big bear, his movements are so until occasion requires that shows flashes of speed duzzle for such a big man. Miller did not wait to warm her just went in to wrestle the man off his feet. It was up down and all around with first on top then the other. During the first period Stroh broke her holds with apparent ee while the Brea lad had gritted blee in breaking some of the driver's holds. After about 30 minutes wrestling, Stroh tricked Miller a rather unusual hold, a full lion applied with the feet. Miller tried for three minutes to break away from Stroh's powerful loot but he was helpless save for its feet and they were in no position to help him. He finally had concede the fall, the time being minutes. The second period was better than the first. Miller won on the mat with determinate written in every act. Stroh braced locks, hammer locks, holds anything and everything that Miller could hang on and also able to hang on a variety of holds that all but had the little giant down. Miller clamped on army key after 30 minutes wrestling and the hold held for about a minute. Stroh was rolled into another of the arm pushing hoo a minute late and it took him several minutes to break the second hold. He was so weakened that Miller was able to apply a wickle In a corking story of the Great West. "The Man From Wyoming" Stan Laurel in a breezy comedy "Frozen Hearts".

WEST WINS FIGHT FOR RECLAMATION WASHINGTON, May 15.—Western states won their fight with the budget bureau over reclamation projects today when Senators Bergh of Idaho and McNary of Oregon, Republicans, at a White House conference obtained an agreement from President Coolidge to send the estimates for this reclamation work to congress. The estimates will be laid before congress contingent upon further investigation as to the practicability of the various projects. Both senators expressed confidence that this investigation would prove the necessity of proceeding with the reclamation work. The projects are located in Idaho, Utah, Oregon, Nebraska, Washington and Nevada. FRIENDS COME TO MORFORD'S RESCUE SAN DIEGO, May 15.—Home friends of Allen R. Morford, confused "ammonia bandit" and former mayor of St. Joseph, Mtch., have come to his rescue. Word reached here today that a mass meeting of his former associates at St. Joseph was held and a defense fund raised. Steel shares ruled higher on reports of increasing firmness in pig iron. Railroad shares were sustained by a carload statement for the week ended May 2, showing loading material larger than those in the previous week. Money conditions were easy, call loans renewing and ruling at 3½ per cent. Foreign exchanges developed weakness, especially French francs due to cables telling of difficulties within the majority bloc of the left which makes doubtful the success of a radical Socialist coalition in the new French chamber. The character of the trading underwent little change in the last hour. A decline in the call money rate to three percent was of sustaining influence. The market closed steady. The bond market was featured by fresh strength in U.S. government issues. Foreign government bonds were irregular. Stock sales today 592,700 shares, bonds $16,759,000. GRAIN MARKET NARROW CHICAGO, May 15.—Training in grain moved within narrow limits today. Wheat was basically firm with corn and oats weak. At the finish wheat was % to % lower. Corn % to lc down and oata % to % off. Corn weakness was due to lack of buying support, the short interest having been eliminated and the market gave way under scattered selling, followed by stop loss orders. May oats was firm early but eased off quickly on profit taking sales. Provisions were dull but firm. LOS ANGELES PRODUCE LOS ANGELES, May 15.—Butter 38. Eggs: Extras 27; case count 23; pullets 23.

Miller deserves a world of creat it for his showing against Stroh is remarkably fast for suu Stroh is large man and the little giant did not have much of an advantage along the line of speed as surely he was greatly out-classed in strength Stroh knows his stu How did Miller win? By plus endurance! A less courageon man would have given up but the little giant just kept pegging away and the break came and won. The winner was challenged no less than four, so there loo to be some more entertaining evenings ahead. Ray Zimmer Kansas City was the first to to hit his into the ring. Zimmin was once the light heavyweight champion of the world but is not in the 190 pound class. He looks to be every inch a wrestler.

It was said on Mr. Coolidge's behalf that he is hopeful such a veto could be sustained. Opinion in congress, however, is that it cannot. The immigration bill in its final form was to be laid before the house today for adoption. Then it goes to the senate and thence to the White House. Leaders said the bill would be on the president's desk by Saturday. The vote in the senate was 62 to $9 in the case of the house, which voted 308 to 58, far more than necessary to pass the measure over a presidential veto.

ANDO MILLER STILL CHAMPION (By Sorgum Sprout) Ando Miller is still the champion of Fullerton, Brea and all points. He flopped big Herstroh twice while the oil was getting one fall. It great match. Miller looked to be taken in too much terri-then he entered the ring such a big man, and after a minutes wrestling Miller's looked world. He is not only a giant in but also a giant in both. He reminds one of a star, his movements are slow occasion requires than he flashes of spec1 dazzling with a big man. He did not wait to warm up it went in to wrestle the big Jeff his feet. It was up and all around with first one then the other. During most period Stroh broke Mil-olds with apparent ease the Brea lad had great trem-breaking some of the drill-olds. For about 30 minutes of fighting, Stroh tricked Miller in her unusual hold, a full Nel-ployed with the feet. Miller for three minutes to break from Stroh's powerful legs, was helpless save for his and they were in no position to him. He finally had to see the fall, the time being 2:35. Second period was even than the first. Miller went mat with determination in every act. Stroh broke rocks, hammer locks, toe anything and everything Miller could hang on and was able to hang on a variety of that all but had the little down. Miller clamped on an eye after 30 minutes wrestled the hold held for about minute. Stroh was rolled into of the arm pushing holds late and it took him seven minutes to break the second He was so weakened that he was able to apply a violent tagging All Bases.

Mad Play and Bracadale will be coupled in the betting from the Sinclair stable at Churchill Downs on Saturday and eastern gamblers are pleased to believe that one or the other of them will win. Large commissions have been placed in hand books here and others will be wired went on the day of the race, to be laid off at the prevailing odds. Bracadale is the colt they like and they are trusting to "Sinclair luck" to make the hunch stand up. Both eastern and western gamblers are laying all kinds of bets on the chances of the two colts, evidently inspired by the belief that the derby will prove one of the most open races of recent years. Meantime the men behind the winter books which are operated on a "play or pay" basis, are satisfied. They got theirs when Sarazen and St. James, heavily played in the future books, withdrawn from the race last week and Wise Councillor, the hope of Kentucky, "went bad." There still seemed to be some hope today that Wise Councillor might be rushed to Churchill Downs for the race, but it was a forlorn chance. The Ward colt is hardly up to running a typical mile and a quarter, even if his present form is more creditable than it was at Pimlico. In any case, Black Gold has taken precedence over Wise Councillor as the western hope in the derby, and not without reason. He won the Louisiana Derby last winter, beating Mad Play in the clinking time of 1:37 2-5 for the mile and two days ago turner 1:37 4-5 in spreadeagling his field in the derby trial stakes. As a matter of fact the writer sees no good reason for the east- Tagging All Bases Babe Ruth got his diploma of supremacy but the Browns got everything else on flag-raising day. Shoeker spiked the Yankas to the tune of 11 to 1. The Giants saved themselves from sliding to third place when they broke their losing streak and defeated the Cubs, 6 to 4. Kelly's bat sent in four runs while Young's triple sewed up the game. The Athletics shattered their losing streak of 12 games when they sent the Tigers back to Jungleland with a 5 to 4 defeat. Four pitchers could not stand off defeat for the Reds and the Braves sewup the game 8 to 2, knocking Sheehan out in the first inning and securing a commanding lead. Quinn pitched like a youngster for the Red Sox and held the White Sox to four hits. Boston winning 12 to 0. Andy High's bat proved the deciding factor in the game with the Cardinals and the Dodgers chalked up a 4 to 3 victory. Walter Johnson and Zachary could not hold the Indians and the Senators were defeated 5 to 2 in a game stopped in the seventh by rain. CARPENTIER BEGINS ACTIVE WORKOUTS MICHICAN CITY, May 15—Georges Carpentier, refreshed by a good night's rest after his transition from Paris to the sand dunes of Lake Michigan within one week, arose today prepared to start his active workouts for the battle with Tom Gibbons. Pekin cottage, at Sheridan Beach, houses th'former idol of France and his party, including the mercurial but canny Francois Deschamps, Paul Fritsch and various and sundry individuals essential to a training camp. Chicago, still eager for a glimpse of the French fighter, will be given a chance when Carpentier returns for a brief call next week. Workouts, meantime, will start this afternoon at a social club near the cottage where Georges and his entourage are camped. Tom Gibbons returned to his schedule today, his fourth day of National 76; American, 63. Ward collt is hardly up to running a typical mile and a quarter, even if his present form is more creditable than it was at Pimlico. In any case, Black Gold has taken precedence over Wise Counsellor as the western hope in the derby, and not without reason. He won the Louisiana Derby last winter, beating Mad Play in the clinking time of 1:37 2-5 for the mile and two days ago turner 1:37 4-5 in spreadeagling his field in the derby trial stakes. As a matter of fact the writer sees no good reason for the eastern support of Mad Play and Bracadale. Drawing a line thru Black Gold to the ability of the Sinclair, it might be mentioned that Wild Aster, to which Black Gold gave five pounds and a beating in the derby trial, defeated Bracadale at Jamaica last week. SINCLAIR'S ENTRY GAINING IN FAVOR LOUISVILLE, Ky., May 15—The sport in favor of Mad Play, pride of Harry Sinclair's Rancous stable, and Bracadale, may result in the Sinclair entry becoming the derby favorite, judging by the condition of the books at opening today. At that Mad Play must overcome considerable handicap to take the play away from the hope of the west. Mrs. R. M. Hoots' Black Gold, who now runs 4 to 1. Mad Play is runner-up here at 5 to 1. Play in the full books has been unusually heavy and, as naturally followe, regrets will be in the same proportion. Wise Counsellor, St. James and Sarazen, who claimed most of the early money, having eliminated. The pre-barrier judgment here is shown in the heavy bets of one well known turfman on Black Gold. Mad Play, Beau Butler and Altawood. He asserted that one of the four is sure to win the golden jubilee event. ATHLETIC CLUB BEGINS SEASON Friday the Concordia Athletic club starts their second season on their spacious grounds in the rear of the hall.

He said the veterans' bureau estimated the cost at $2,280,755,542, over a period of 20 years, with the cost of the first year $155,000,000 with $6,500,-000 additional for administration. Treasury estimates the president declared, are considerably higher than this, experts there figuring the cost of the bill at $3,145,000,000. The president insisted that the tax burden must be reduced and said that the nation at the present time had no economic ill that could not be attributed to high federal and other taxes. As to insurance certificates provided for in the bonus bill, Mr. Coolidge expressed the opinion that in the year 1945 they would jeopardize the value of other government securities. The president said passage of the bill would add $35 in taxes on each inhabitant of the country or $175 on each family as an average over the 20 year life of the bill. WASHINGTON, May 15.—The action of the senate in sustaining President Coolidge's veto of the Burum pension bill encouraged the White House today to believe there is a possibility of the soldiers' bonus-insurance bill also being defeated this session. Administration supporters, at any rate, regarded the victory over Declare New Keaton Feature Most Original Comedy Made Advance notices of Buster Keaton's new Metro feature, "Sherlock Jr.," declared it to be the most original comedy ever made. This production at the California Theatre tomorrow, bears out the claims made for it—"Sherlock Jr." is truly "something new under the sun." Never has such a delightful combination of fantasy and fun been put together in any theatrical medium, stage or screen. The picture keeps the audience in stitches from the opening scene to the final fadeout as Buster trudges and scamper across the screen with a face as long as eight-day clock. "Sherlock Jr." is a knockout. This Joseph M. Shenek production is written by Jean Harvez, Joe Mitchell and Clyde Bruckman. Keaton's famous "gag" men, and the treatment is just as novel and refreshing as the idea itself. How, as a small-town operator, Buster is accused of the theft of a watch by the villain, his disgrace, his dream of great things while showing a picture, and how he finally wins out, is told in a series of laugh-provoking scenes that whizz by in rapid succession. There is not a dull moment. Keaton directed the picture himself and has introduced many clever situations. His transition from a movie operator to a movie actor is a delightful bit of movie fantasy. Angered by the actions of the villain in the film, he walks down the side of the theatre, gets on the stage, and climbs right into the frame of the picture. Of the three major features being shown on the screen at the California Theatre, Captain P. B. Kleinschmidt's "Adventures in The Per North" certainly stands out uniquely. Part of the film is featured, and the artist have done a good job, bringing out beautiful lines of scenes in and near Alaska most pleasing to nature lovers. The animal life depicted—lots fighting for food, so much like nations fighting over territory, and a mother polar bear swimming with her cub towing behind her; her struggles to release the little animal when it is lashed—paradoxically leads to a human touch to this picture of wild life in the North. There is still another feature on this magnificent program, namely "Money To Burns," the third of the Telephone Series of comedies. California News Flashes and Arch B. Pritz in musical accompaniments conclude a very interesting program. Tonight only—a wonder bill of vaudeville, featuring five big time acts and "Children of the Dust!" Frank Borzogo's masterpiece of emotion, on the screen. WASHINGTON, May 15.—The action of the senate in sustaining President Coolidge's veto of the Bursum pension bill encouraged the White House today to believe there is a possibility of the soldiers' bonus-insurance bill also being defeated this session. Administration supporters, at any rate, regarded the victory over the Bursum bill as a "hopeful sign" and they were urging the president today to speed up action on the bonus bill, which has now been on his desk several days. It is possible that the veto message on the bonus bill may go to the Capitol today, altho it probably will be deferred until tomorrow. The president has until Friday midnight to act on the measure. After that it would become law without his signature under the statute period of 10 days. It is regarded as certain that the vote on the bonus over the president expected veto will be close one, probably hinging on few votes either way.

His transition from a movie operator to a movie director REVOKED CHICAGO, May 15.—Holding that President Coolidge had no authority to pardon for civil contempt of court, the U.S. district court today set aside the executive pardon recently granted Phillip I. Grossman and ordered him taken into custody. Grossman, a saloonkeeper, was enjoined in federal court from operating the place. It was charged he bootlegged liquor and he was cited for contempt by former Judge Kenesaw M. Landis and sentenced to a year in jail. The sentence was upheld by the higher courts but Grossman evaded serving it while strenuous efforts were being made to induce former President Harding to pardon him. The rule that no petitions for pardons will be considered until the convicted person is actually serving his sentence prevented any action. Before a senatorial investigation committee recently, it was charged that the names of prominent persons signed to the petition were forged and that President Coolidge was deceived and did not know Grossman had never served a day in jail. The decision handed down today was written by Judge James H. Wilkerson and holds that the executive cannot interfere in a civil contempt case. It is expected to be of far reaching importance as affecting countless other cases where sentences have been inflicted for contempt. The Grossman case has been under advancement for three months. Grossman is reported to have spent more than $40,000 in his effort to keep out of jail. Mark Twain pointed out that man is the only animal that blushes.
