STOCK MARKET

New York, Aug. 2o-The Arabic war specia1ties at the opening oG to- day's market losses rin that group ranging from 8 to 8 points. General Motors, New York Air Brake, I5tude- bakeh ;, Goodrich, Westinghouse American Can and Crucible Steel led the decline, which probably was as- sisted by heavy short selling. United States Steel was heaviest of the fa- vorites, a lot of 5000 shares being offered at 73 to 72s a maximum loss of 2A. In the main, srailWay shares were relatively stady. recessfons in that part of the list being limited to a point or less. Rallies of ? to- ( points in the specialties >ensued be- fore the expiration of the first hslf hour.
 Noon. Sales Of the first hour ex- ceeded 35,OOO shares, steel supplying one fifth of the trading. The stock was regarded as the barometer of the market, not because of its activity but because of the heavy selling which preceded yesterdays late declining movement. It yielded one half of its two poinV recovery but made r5artiaI improvement from that level. Similar irregularity was shown by other in- dustrials and specialties, none Of which however, repeated their6 low opening prices. Railroads became heavy later, Hartman and HfH ds- sues, together with Reading, falling under yesterdays minimum quota tions. Bonds were lower.

New York, Aug. 2o.-The body of Leo M. Frank, lynched at Marietta, Co.,, was buried today in Mt. Carmel cemetery, Brooklyn.
 The autom obi1e hearse and the ma chine carrying the immediate relatives of the dead man travelled at a high rate of speed over the six mile route from the home of Franks parents to the cemetery in an attempt ta elude newspaper men and photographers.
 Franks parents, MT. and Mrs. Ru- doIph Frank, the widow, and Franks sister, Mrs. Otto Stern, and her hus- band, occupied the automobile that followed the hearse. A dozen other relatives and friends occupied three additional autom obiles.
 A crowd of scarcely more than 100 people were in front ofthe Frank home when the body was carried out at 9:1Os o'clock. Twenty minutes later the hearse arrived at the cemetery and within, thirty minutes from the time the funeral started the burial services were concluded.
 About forty curious persons were in the cemetery when Franks body ar rived and they crowded close to the grave during the services. Perfect or der was maintained both at the Frank home and the emetery.
 Mrs. Lucille Frank, the widow ap- peared calm and restrained until the burial service had concluded. Then she collapsed and was carried to an automobile. The services were con- ducted by Rabbi Alexander E. Lyons of Brooklyn and Rabbi David Marx of Atlanta.

The sinking of the Arabic without warning by a German submarine must be regarded by thoughtful of fcia1s of the United.

There has been, complaint because there has been no answer from Germany to the latest American note.

The table with a wooden leg
Was charging across the hall.
The broom swept by because it heard
The baby ribbon squall
And while the vines out on the porch
Were creeping up behind,
The One-armed chair leaped from its lair
And knocked the window blind
The sleeping couch was lOunging late
Beneath the window shade,
The fireplace wore the mantel that
The lazy chamber maid;
AND while the bed stead, cool and calm,
Was standing at the post
1t gave the window pane to see
The spirit levels ghost.
heard the hat rack off because
The cowslip chewed its cud,
And when the poker shoveled coal
knew the kindling wood
saw the bed spring through the door,
And heard the pitcher spout
] saw the wash stand by the wall
And bowl the pitcher cut
