"Law enforcement will put as before," Prohibition Co. sioner Haynes declared the ternoon in a formal statement commenting on the action U. S. court in Baltimore, ing Cong. John Philip H New Step in Remarkable Financial Comeback of Motor Magnate NEW YORK, Nov. 13—Behind the sensational advance in the stock of Castiron Pipe on the New York stock exchange, which is today selling at 700 per cent, more than its low last year, Wall Street sees another step in the remarkable financial "comeback" of Wm. C. Durant, who only a few years ago was deposed from the leadership of the General Motors Co., with a loss estimated at $100,000,000. Durant's activities in the stock market in the last two years have been of the character to put him in high place in the list of Wall Street's sensational operators. After his dejection from General Motors, his friends placed at his disposal $7,000,000 with which he organized Durant Motors and later the Durant Corp. for the purpose of distributing stock to its employees. Next Durant conceived the idea of buying blocks of stock in the market, splitting it up into fractional lots and selling certificates of ownership far and wide. He was roundly criticized for this exploitation but stood firmly behind his promotion and offered to take back stock which showed a loss. Early in 1922, Durant came back to the stock market as a professional trader for his own account. He was credited with accumulated 50,000 shares of Studebaker at $50 a share, and selling it out above par and thus taking a profit of more than $4,000,000. He then turned his attention to Southern Railway which was easily the leader in the upward movement of railroad stocks in 1922. His profits here were even larger than in Studebaker, it was reported. Last year, when the stock of Castiron Pipe was being pushed around the market at $20 a share, many shrewd operators, including Durant, were attracted to it, principally because of the new developments of the business of the company, its remarkable patents and the bright prospects for future earnings. As stock was accumulated, the price began to rise. Early this year it reached $4. The company perfected a process for joining pipe which greatly reduced costs and produced an excellent commodity at good profits. Earnings in the first eight months of this year were officially reported at $26 a share. Since the total outstanding stock of the company is only $20,000 shares, it was comparatively easy for Durant to acquire. IN YEAR WE MAY RIDE IN AIR TAXI (By David Sentner) (International News Staff Correspondent) (Copyright, 1924 by International News Service) NEW YORK, Nov. 13.—Within a year residents of leading cities and suburbs may hall an air taxi via radio, puff a cigar in a wind-protected cabin and complacently listen to a radio program while the taximeter ticks out twenty cents a mile. Fleets of flying super jitneys are planned for Chicago, Boston, New York, Detroit, Baltimore, Washington, Cleveland, Cincinnati, Columbus, Dayton, Ann Arbor, Toledo, Buffalo, St. Louis, Kansas City, Milwaukee, St. Paul, Battle Creek and Los Angeles, according to Col. H. E. Hartney, American flying ace, who heads a company created to build and distribute the air cabs. Eventually the system will be extended southward and to other points, Col. Hartney told International News Service, in an exclusive interview today. The air cabs are to be painted yellow and will have a cruising radius of 250 miles, he said. The machines will have a maximum speed of 100 miles an hour and be able to land comfortably in a four-acre patch. One of the safety features of these air cabs will be the belliana wing or "high lift wing" which prevents a skid off in the wings' cause of 95 per cent of aviation accidents, according to Hartney. An aid to the strength of the plane is given in lifting braces which do away with struts and wires, he said. The model plane has been under experiment for the last two and one-half years. Hartney said, in which time it never had an accident. Baltimore Decision Not Change Policy of Dry Agents WASHINGTON, Nov. 13. "Law enforcement will press as before," Prohibition Commissioner Haynes declared that ternoon in a formal state commenting on the action of U.S. court in Baltimore, ing Cong. John Philip Hill guilty of violating the nautical prohibition act. Haynes said that the Baltic decision was in "entire hearty with the view of the prohibit unit. Commissioner Haynes ment follows: "The opinion rendered by Judge Soper of Maryland, the effect that, under section 8 of the national prohibition act manufacture and possession cider and non-intoxicating juices for exclusive use in home, are not forbidden; although contain an alcoholic strength one half of one per cent by ume, or more provided them non-intoxicating in fact, is tire harmony with the hold of this unit and as they have from the beginning and present as Representative Hill was added." "The holding of the court in harmony with the holding the unit, will not require change whatever in existing lations and therefore none would made. "I am clearly of the opinion fruit juices of the alcohol strength of that admitted to be made by Rep. Hill is in intoxicated, and this unit take notice of all such cases as made to appear hereafter as tofoire, and the law enforceor will proceed as before." "It should be borne in mind Rep. Hill was acquitted by an answer on a question of fact and there was no holding by the judge to the effect that wine of 15 cent alcoholic strength is not fact intoxicating." "It is not my purpose to close the jury and I make no mention upon its verdict other than say there are many sections where the verdict the jury would have been judged contrary even in a case of manufacture and possession liquors of a much less percent alcoholic strength." "I wish to make it entirely that there will be no relax whatever in the efforts of this unit enforce the law in all cases." Since the total outstanding stock of the company is only $20,000 shares, it was comparatively easy for Durant to accumulate about 60,000 shares, which cost him in the vicinity of $55 a share. Then, when the bear started to sell short they were simply mulling themselves into a trap, and the more they tried to extract themselves, the tighter the stocks were drawn. Castillon Pipe coated this week to 139, a gain of 120 points over last week's low, and so of 80 points over the price Durant paid for the stock. If sold at that price Durant has another $5,000,000 to add to his trophy chest. The question is being raised in Wall Street, will Castillon Pipe be another Stuts Motor? "Very little stock for sale" say specialists in the stock; a "free and open market" say the stock exchange authorities unofficially. Meanwhile the shorts are said to be uneasy and Durant is sitting tight.

One of the safety features of these air cabs will be the bellana wing or "high lift wing" which prevents "a skid off in the wings" the cause of 95 per cent of aviation accidents, according to Hartney. An aid to the strength of the plane is given in lifting braces which do away with struts and wires, he said. The model plane has been under experiment for the last two and one-half years. Hartney said, in which time it never has had an accident. "The airplane assembles the best features of a variety of airplanes," said Hartney. "It costs $95,000 to build but the duplicate machines we will begin shortly to manufacture in Dayton, Ohio, will cost only $3000." When we apply the Ford system of production we hope to lower the cost to $1,000 a plane. We figure we need but 1,000 flights at 60 miles each to pay for a machine. Col. Hartney said the air cab company expected to cash in heavily on "the joy riding propensity of American youth—including flappers." He said additional income would be derived from messenger service, advertising and light express service. This project will be the salvaging of commercial navigation in America," said Col. Hartney. "We led the world in air mail service and hold all the aviation records, but so far it has done us no good. In aviation power we rank tenth with France first and Japan second. "The use of air cabs will gel the American people into the 'air spirit.' It will increase the number of landing fields and probably induce the passage of flying laws by congress. At present anybody and everybody can fly a plane regardless of their competence." Col. Hartney commanded the first pursuit squadron of the A.E.F. in which Quentin Roosevelt and Eddie Rickenbacker served. He was shot down four times and his citations include the D.S.C. French Legion of Honor, Croix de Guerre and Italian silver medal for valor. See Dr. Neth; IIO N. Resh—Chiropractic and Electric Treatments. BALTIMORE, Md., Nov. 14. After 20 hours deliberation, jury in the case of Cong. John Hill, charged with violating Volstead law, brought in a verdict of not guilty on all six counts on the indictment. Haggard and drawn after hours deliberation, the jury who were charged by Fo Judge Morris E. SSoper to determine whether or not Wine elder, admittedly manufacturer Cong. John Phillip Hill, was toxicating in fact," filed out a o'clock today and exonerated on all counts of the indictment charging him with violation dry law. The announcement received by a crowd that extent to the corridors and was great with an outburst of enthusiasm. Hill immediately said he used the trial and the ruling Judge Soper to propose a bill legislature to legalize the sale light wines and beer. At the termination of the juries hearing, Judge Soper charged the jury to disregard two extremes in definitions of toxication which had been vouched in the testimony. Judge Soper also had ruled that one per cent clause in the stead act does not apply to he beverages and the jury was ordered to determine whether reasonable amounts of Hill's wine cider would intoxicate. Judge Soper had gone to length to impress the importance of the case upon the jurors. said the fact, borne out by evidence, that the defendant been active in connection with dry law should be left out of connection. The trial was the result of liberate campaign on Hill's pledge to force court action and test validity of section 29 of the Vstead act, which he said, was a crimination in favor of the farsight against the city man in the manufacture of edible.

I wish to make it entirely clear there will be no relaxation ever in the efforts of this unit enforce the law in all such areas." BOSTON, Nov. 12.—Student and teaching circles here were shocked today by publication of a report of an intercollegiate investigating committee, charging drinking, gambling and moral laxity was prevalent among young men and women students in Boston. After saying that members of either sex occupying the same houses frequented each other's rooms, that they brought each other into their living quarters for immoral purposes, and that no party was considered conventional unless there was liquor, the investigators tacked on to their report a recommendation that the police take strict action against "street walkers, mashers and drunkenness." The report was made by the intercollegiate committee on student living conditions. "There is almost everything to help a student go wrong and almost nothing to hinder him or her from going wrong," said the report, which was tendered to a group representing the faculties and students of each Boston college. In some of the rooming houses," it continued, "young men and young women are, through force of circumstances, living with less protection from moral temptation than is desirable. It is known that in some places where men and women students live in the same house there is very low supervision and that the frequenting of one another's rooms, both during the day and night, is not at all unheard of. "It is known that in some of the houses one sex brings in those of the opposite sex for immoral purposes and gets by with it. "It is known that there are groups of girl students and groups of men students living alone in apartments without any supervision whatsoever and that parties including women, liquor and gambling go on frequently." Murdered Broker Added To Value o Gems With Polish LOS ANGELES, Nov. 13 — Harry L. Katz, murdered Los Angeles musician and jewel broker, for years experimented with chemicals to add to the brilliancy of diamonds, jewellers informed police here today. They said it was well known that Katz possessed a secret formula for a diamond polish which greatly improved the appearance of his stones and enhanced their value considerably. Katz, while interested heavily in diamonds, was also an emerald expert. Gleaming sullenly green, a 65 karat emerald selzed by the federal government last May from Katz, is being held in a vanit here. It was learned today. The confiscated stone is oblong, the length of two five-cent pieces, and is worth more than $15,000. Treasury department agents said that while Katz may have purchased the emerald in good faith, it was undoubtedly smuggled into the country. As the district attorney's probe opened, two new mystery witnesses whose names were not revealed but who were said to have stated that they would be able positively to identify the slayer of Katz, if he is apprehended, were questioned. A second important development, failure of detectives to find more than $6000 worth of diamonds in a search of four of Katz' safety deposit boxes in Los Angeles, caused the investigators to fasten their attention on the theory that Katz had the bulk of the reputed fortune in diamonds in his apartment and was robbed of them by the slayer. A feature of today's developments was the removal of Chief Detective Chapman, who was supplanted by Detective George Home. Inability of Chapman to make progress in the Katz case was assigned as the reason for his removal. SAN DIEGO, Nov. 13—Police hert at the request of Los Angeles authorities, today were searching for a "large, redheaded man and a pretty brunette young woman," who are claimed to be wanted for questioning in connection with the murder in Los Angeles of Harry Katz, wealthy musician and diamond dealer.

It is thought the couple are headed for Mexico or some other foreign country thru this port. It was also revealed here today that it has been charged in the Katz case that a local police officer once attempted to blackmail Katz. Chief of Police Patrick said he did not know who the officer referred to might have been. He admitted, however, that local detectives have checked up on the whereabouts of a certain former San Diego policeman, who was dismissed from the force six years ago.

SHENANDOAH WILL VISIT HONOLULU WASHINGTON, Nov. 13—Not content with its successive aerial conquests of the Atlantic ocean and the globe, America is to undertake an epochal leap over the Pacific ocean to Hawaii. It was learned at the navy department today that the dirigible Shenandoah is to make the flight from California to Honolulu early next year in connection with the maneuvers of the Pacific fleet. The flight across more than 2000 miles of open water has the hearty approval of Secy. of the Navy Wilbur. Tentative plans toward that end have been discussed by aeronautical experts for many months and a report on the equipment necessary is now being prepared for the secretary. The Pacific fleet is to assemble off the California coast in February and will probably depart for Honolulu late that month, acting as a convoy for the aerial greyhound. Altho a definite startline point has not been decided, it is understood that San Diego will be selected because it has the only mooring mast in California. KIWANIANS LEAVE FOR CONVENTION Several members of the Kiwanis Club and their ladies besides the regular delegates will attend the annual district meeting to be held at Santa Barbara tomorrow and Saturday.

The four singers are Taylor, McCord, Ashleigh and Merrill. Jules Brazil of Honolulu, Ont., well known Kiwanian entertainer, will furnish features of the program. At Least 3500 to 3750 Cars Will Move Next Season During the season of 1923-24 ending Nov. 1, the Anaheim district shipped 3282 cars of citrus fruit, practically all oranges. This figure comprises fruit moved by rail, and does not include fruit carted off to other points or sold locally. The No. Orange-co. Citrus Exchange shipped 5515 cars to Nov. 1, of which 1923 were lemons and 15 grapefruit. This is some 600 cars ahead of last year and considerably better than any previous year, not exceeding 1920-21, the previous record year. At least 3500 to 3750 cars will be moved from the district in 1924-25, if sizes are normal, according to Manager G. W. Sandilands of the Anaheim Orange and Lemon Ass'n. This will be a new high aggregate. The Orange-co. Fruit Exchange shipped some 500 cars more than last year and its total will bring the aggregate of the California Fruit Growers' Exchange in the county to some 10,150 cars. Manager L. D. Palmer of the southern exchange has not yet reduced his shipments to Nov. 1 to a box basis. The figure given is estimating that half of his cars, 4300 all told, contained 462 boxes instead of the old number 400 and the rest 400, a very conservative basis. During the year just closed California shipped 22,000,000 boxes of oranges and grapefruit and 4,895,000 boxes of lemons. California furnished the country with practically 89 per cent of its lemons; Italy providing the rest. Of the state's orange shipments the California Fruit Growers' Exchange, according to the annual report of Manager E. G. Dezell shipped $2,715 cars of oranges and grapefruit and 11,551 of lemons or 72.9 per cent of the total crop marketed. Exchange growers received $50,515,497 and the delivered value to the wholesale trade was $76,219,240, it is estimated. California growers as a whole received $69,826,235 with a delivered value to the trade of $105,382,-634, including $35,556,398 for freight and refrigeration. The quality of the fruit was good, but sizes were small. Competition from apples and bananas at low prices throutthe season and from Florida and other oranges during the navel season cut returns. Florida's shipments of oranges have increased 135 per cent during the last five years. The total supplies of citrus fruit on the markets of the United States and Canada in the 1923-24 season were the largest on rec- Build Airplane For Honolulu Flight WASHINGTON, Nov. 13.—A contract for a flying boat capable of sustaining flight from the Pacific Coast to Honolulu has been set by the navy department to Boeing Aircraft Corp. of Seattle it was announced today.
