RUSH REPRIEVE i SAVES ELEPHANT “KILLER” PACHYDERM FINDS FRIEND SUPERI OR COURT JURIST SAN FRANCISCO, June 18 (TP)— “Wally” is still alive today because a Superior Court judge ruled that the old boy hadn’t been given a fair chance. •‘Wally” is an elephant attached to the Fleishacker Zoo herd. He was a zoo favorite Tuesday, when he at tacked his keeper, Edward Brown, and trampled the man to death. The elephant was scheduled to be shot as a ''killer.” Just a few minutes before police department rifles were due to crackle out his death knell, an attorney, Alexander Mosslln, dash ed into Superior Court, pleaded that the elephant be given another chance, and secured a writ from Judge Frank T. Deasy, postponing the execution. The judge based his ruling on the fact that ‘ Wally” never had appear ed vicious before Jits attack on Brown, and the theory tnat bhe elephant had reason to fly into a rage, when he swung on his keeper. The scheduled execution brought protests from hun dreds of animal lovers, residents, in cluding the mayors of San Francisco and Oakland.

Doubt less there would be further develop ment of the rise, but it is likely to be selective rather than broad. More over, I continue firmly of the opinion that we are not witnessing a broad advance that will be sustained for a matter of months. I believe the base is yet to be made for a fall business and market expansion. That means ex pectations of lower prices between now and the end of summer. I would not expect it to make new highs in both rails and industrials. TOPlCS—Commonwealth & South ern, think reasonable expect 50 to 100 percent profit over balance of year. New York Central, would take advantage of any dip to buy New York Central. Collins and Aikman, we can see nothing to stop stock from going through for a new high. Looks like a buy at market to us. Murray Corpn, it has been a long time com ing, but we believe the time is here for an upward move. National Supply, expect fifty and up here later. South ern Ry. Pfd, would buy any early weakness here. Would buy Delaware Lackawanna near 17, it is cheap.
