Specialties attracted a good deal of attention by reason of their strength. Government transactions involving about a billion dollars did not cause a ripple in the money situation, which continued easy. Call money ruled at 2 percent. Bonds, especially those of foreign government, continued firm. Grains were strong but cotton futures were reactionary. Foreign exebanks were firm to strong especially French francs, on the news that Premier Herriot reached an agreement with Prelier MacDonald on the international situation. There was not much change in character of trading in the last hour. Stocks of merchandise companies continued in the speculative limelight, under the leadership of Woolworth, whom touched a new high above par. Activity in the general list fell off considerably, but the undertone remained firm up to the close. Stock sales $60,500 shares; bonds, $21,867,000.

SARGUM PROUTINGS By Sargum Sprout Pete Sour, who wrestles Orlando Miller at the Fairyland Wednesday evening, has a very impressive record. Pete is not much older than Miller but he has been a busy young man in the wrestling game. For a number of years he made his home in Santa Paula where he took on any and all wrestlers that he could entice on the mat. Roy Mabee had a great deal of respect for the Santa Paula lad when Roy was going his business. Roy claimed that Pete was too heavy for him. Roy wrestled several just as heavy as Pete, but Pete has size, science and strength. The most notable man Pete ever met was Joe Stecher. Joe was to throw Pete twice in 60 minutes. We understand Joe could not cut the mustard. Other good men Pete has wrestled are: Hacken-schmidt, Bool Montana, when Bool was going good, Tony Bardinl, Terna Milyake, Dick Davis-court and many others. Any one that has entertained that array of bone crushers is very apt to be abel to give a good account of themselves with any man. If Orlando Miller can handle Sour he is indeed nearing the top of his profession. Pete is out to win over Miller for he wants to get started in this section. Miller is working for another whirl at Santel. Right now Miller looks to be as he was when he met Santel and it took the Champ an hour and twenty minutes to defeat the Little Giant at that time. Santel's years are beginning to tell on him while Miller is just coming into his own. Anyway, Wednesday evening's entertainment is going to be a high-class order. Seat sales are much better than at the previous match when Heck was eliminated. THORNTON WILL SPEAK TONIGHT Rev. Walter L.

As they were taken into the courtroom Piolo was arrested on another warrant charging him with killing his own brother. The suspect, who said he was Frank Rossi, later admitted his real name was James Piolo. NEW YORK, June 16.—With Frank Rossi and James Hughes under arrest, police today were trying to find a motive for the slaying of "Big Bill" Brennan, well known puglist, who twice fought Jack Dempsey. Brennan was called from his restaurant, the Club Tia Juana, on upper Broadway, early Sunday morning and shot to death without warning. James Callen, formerly a state trooper, was shot in the neck when he pursued Brennan's slayers. He died this morning in the hospital. Brennan was shot twice thrue the body. He died without regaining consciousness. He was sitting at a table, chatting with his sister, Shirley Brennan, a singer in the restaurant, when he was called outside and slain. Brennan is one of two men who have stayed in the ring with Jack Dempsey for more than 10 rounds. He retired from the ring a few months ago. Both of the alleged slayers have long criminal records, police say. Hughes formerly fought a Terry O'Neill, a lightweight. The slaying is shrouded in mystery but the police are inlined to think the trouble involved bootlegging. A barrel of empty whiskey bottles was found in the cabaret, according to the police. Rossi and Hughes were captured in a taxi at Gunpoint a block and a half from Brennan's restaurant. Lloyd's Bashfulness Cause of Riotous Fun The dictionary gives the definition of bashfulness as "shrinking modesty." But our definition, after viewing Harold Lloyd's latest Pathe Comedy, "Girl Shy," at the California theatre yesterday is that bashfulness is decidedly a subject for expansive laughter. Bashful persons have always inspired us with pity for them, but when Lloyd is seen as a boy scared to death of the female sex, he makes the part one of riotous mirth. Lloyd is indeed one comedian whose pictures are ever a delight to see, for the reviewer and the audience never know what to expect of him in advance. After a series of clever characterizations and stories in the past, he once more proves his great versatility in "Girl Shy" by giving to the screen one of the most entirely novel types of heroin it has ever had. The old adage that "there is nothing new in the movies" has been completely blasted at last. Lloyd definitely proves the untruth of the timeworn statement. Conspicuous in his support is pretty Jobyna Ralston, who made such a hit with him in his last success, "Why Worry?" Jobyna brings to the screen a distinctive type of beauty, young, dainty and refreshing. Others in the cast are Richard Daniels and Carlton Griffin, with the direction credited to Fred Newmeyer and Sam Taylor. "Girl Shy" will remain at the California theatre till Wednesday, and it is one of the few pictures that can be recommended heartily to those who like to "shop" for their entertainment. For it is certainly a gloom-chaser deluxe. Fables "Good Old College Days" Kinograms and a special subject. "The Guest", round out a rather clever program. HARRY WASHBURN BURIAL THIS P.M.
