The issue ended up 2 points at 115, a new high for the move. The turnover was the best for any Saturday since May 1, transfers totaling 505,790 shares. A week ago the aggregate was 248.340.

The nationally known urologist, one of the Pacific coast's leading physicians, made a faulty diagnosis, they said. Ho believed his son was doomed to a life-time of suffering from an incurable disease. Instead, they said, the son had been rapidly recovering. Dr. Peterkin shot his son, Shearman, 22-years old, Thursday, and then killed himself.

Miss Betty Campbell, niece of Dr. Peterkin, said Sherman had been recovering and had intended to return to the University of Washington, where he had been a brilliant student, next fall. Young Peterkin was traveling in Europe last year when he suffered a nervous collapse. His father went to Paris and brought him home. He was under the care of Dr.

D. A. Nicholson, psychiatrist. Dr. H.

Poska, one of the father's associates, said Dr. Peterkin had been so worried about his son's condition that he had talked of little else for several days. METAL MARKET- NEW YORK. July 24. Copper steady; electrolytic spot and future 14.00: export 14.20-25.

Narcotic agents said today a drive was on to "clear every weed patch and roadside" of the hemp-like marijuana plant, narcotic weed from which cigarets are made and distributed in "ever increasing numbers" among the youth of the nation. The harmless appearing weed, allied to hashish and comparatively unknown in this country 10 years ago, now grows freely in several states, they said. Mrs. Elizabeth Bass, director of the Federal narcotic division in Chicago, said the plant is easily available for manufacture of the brain-drugging cigarets and may be found growing in nearly all large cities. Only last week a new crop was found in the southwest section of Chicago.

JUVENILE PROBLEM "Our problems with marijuana smoking rest mostly with children," she said. "Smoking the 'weed' is habit-forming but is a habit more easily broken than addiction to other drugs." The cigarets are available in Chicago at prices of about 25 cents for two or three, Sgt. John Myer of the Chicago narcotic division said. "The peddlers concentrate particularly around school areas," he said, "but we have them pretty well under control. We are trying to prevent their becoming organized.

Reaction of the drugs on individuals is not easily determined, Myer and Mrs. Bass said.

"It all depends on the personality," Myer said. "Generally speaking, the effects are hallucinations and sleepiness. The auditory nerves seem to be affected too. Many of the addicts I have talked to said that the dropping of a pin sounded like the crash of a sledge hammer on metal." The drug results in a general weakening of the moral fiber, he said, and has been known to lead addicts to suicide. "The Federal narcotic divisions work in conjunction with city and state officials with the backing of state anti-marijuana statutes," he said.

"However, Federal legislation is being considered by Congress," MEXICAN PLANT Myers said the weed was introduced Into this country from Mexico. "The plant has been traced back 4,000 years," he said, "and has been known by many names." The weed grows from four to 12 feet tall and has elongated and jagged-edged leaves of dark green. Cigarets are made from the dried blossoms of the seeding, female plant. 4 A A COTTON MARKET (By United Press) NEW YORK, July fu tures closed steady.

The tag ends of the court contest were wrapped up to bo taken away this week but at least 10 Democratic Senators were left to wonder what next summer's elections might hold for them.

Senator Wheeler of Montana spoke of a fadcout which would draw a thick curtain of silence over the hot words of the last few weeks. But, while the donkey may not be noted for its memory, like the elephant, it has been known to snort and lash out with its hooves at men who have prodded it in the past. Of course, another session of Con gress intervenes between the battle that is ending and the campaign for reelection. These 10 Senators, plus two or three others who sat on the fence during the fight, may do things in the next year that will elicit the wholehearted support of the administration. FARLEY'S BLACK BOOK But, it has not been so long since Postmaster-General Farlev was sun- posed to keep a black book in which ne iistea tne names or tnose wno fought the administration.

The story told then was that when a member came seeking patronage, the first thing to be done was to look at the book and see how many times he had voted against the President. There was quite a lot of talk about it in the Capitol. Mr. Farley may not bo keeping books now, but it is certain that some names have been jotted down for future reference. The paths that these men walk for the next year will be watched carefully.

Several things remain to be done which may help to lessen the frowns of the party leaders. A farm bill is to be passed. Minimum wages and maximum hours are to be dealt with. A house program is to be worked out. Government departments are to be revamDed.

The scenery of the road ahead will not appeal to all or those who are to be up for reelection next vear. Of the 32 Senators whose terms expire with next vear. 28 are Demn crats. Clark of Missouri, George of Georgia, Gillette of Iowa, Lonergan of Connecticut, McCarran of Nevada, Smith of South Carolina. Tvd- ings of Maryland and Van Nuys of Indiana were listed as outspoken opponents of the court plan.

Adams of Colorado and Overton of Louisiana were not committed, but tney were among the group who went to Vice-President Garner and told him they were ready to recom mit; tne Din.

Four Republicans who have to combat for their seats are Davis of Pennsylvania, Gibson of Vermont, Nye of North Dakota and Steiwer of Oregon.

California oranges were higher during the past week at eastern and middle western auction centers. Lemons were lower. California Valencias were up seven cents per box in the auctions to a weekly average of $5.36 while the volume got up nine cars to a total of 522. California lemons dipped 87 cents to an average in the auctions of $6.07 as the volume dipped five cars to 271. Hot weather forecasts are expected to keep prices at about the same level as in recent weeks.

W. C. Frackelton, general manager for the California-Arizona Orange and Grapefruit Agency, announced next week's voluntary prorate at 900 cars of Valencias in interstate commerce and 75 cars in intrastate commerce. Pacific coast citrus markets show that oranges were stronger during the week and that lemons were weaker. The Federal-state market news service reported today.

Arriv als continue small. Lemon storage on July 15 by the California Fruit Growers Exchange stood at 2.117 cars compared to 1,509 la6t year. This is 200 cars below the five year average. T. H.

Powell, general sales manager for the exchange, said the exchange ia accounting for over 80 per cent of the oranges and between 90 and 95 per cent of the lemons leaving California. The California Fruit Growers Exchange, reporting on both private and auction sales markets, says: "California Yalenolai continued to 1 WEEKLY next year's primaries. In quite a few of the states, the Democratic state committees have been called upon to circulate publicly for the court plan. The Senators in some of those states were opposing the plan, It could not be much of a help to party harmony for the state committee to sing "yes" and the Senators "no" over a major issue. At least one of those who spoke against th? court plan foresaw what the situation might hold for him.

McCarran told the Senate that he might be delivering his valedictory in objecting to the presidential proposal, He said later that the administration already was gunning for him in Nevada. And others, as the row ran to its sputtering conclusion, were reminded that Mr, Roosevelt doesn't give up easily, that he had fought long and hard for the plan, and that he might fight for it some more. Still, there were some who thought the matter might smooth itself out. Changes in the procedure of lower Federal courts were offered in the compromise. Another resignation or bo from the supreme court would give the President the power of appointment over enough men to change completely the tenor of its decisions on close votes.

And most of the important rulings of the court on major administration issues have been close votes. ISSUES TAKE TIME But an early adjournment of Congress might well stall off decisions on the administration measures that now are pending. Even with legislation to speed the progress of cases through the lower courts, it would take work of a quickness that Washington is unaccustomed to if a farm law and a wage and hour act were to be passed and ruled upon by the supreme court before the next election. Any hasty adjournment would leave these two measures in committee pigeonholes until next session, along with the departmental reorganization plan, the new housing legislation and, possibly, the measure to close tax loopholes. And however speedy the work at the next session, it takes a little time to pass a bill, put a law Into operation, originate a test case and get it before the supreme court.

The new farm bill was brought out in the House this week, but the motions made after it was introduced indicated that the business of passage would not be too greatly hurried. The wage and hour measure has been marking time during the court battle. Departmental reorganization has not been touched recently. Housing has been all but forgotten. Even interest in the tax measure seems to have wilted since the first blooms of publicity were gathered in.

These were the measures which Mr. Roosevelt listed as desirable for this session. 'NO-MEN' NOW Developments moved swiftly, nevertheless. The President was given two vigorous "noes" by Congress. The Senate sent the court plan back to the committee by a lopsided vote.

It joined the House ir. enacting over his veto a message to give the farmer low interest rates. By the remarkably close vote of 38 to 37, the Senate Democrats chose Barkley of Kentucky lnsead of Harrison of Mississippi for their leader. In and out through the interplay of emotions moved a Texan wtto was silently going about the business of pulling the right strings to make Congress work. Vice-President Garner had been away for the last several weeks.

And he probably knows more about what makes Congress tick than any other person in Washington. His personal opinion was: "I would rather be in.
