SAG COMES FROM
A FIRM OPENING
Under Heavy Pressure Most Shares
Decline in T0day's Short and
Dull Session.

New York, March l1,-After opening
with some show Of flrmness, today's
dull market began to sag, most divis-
ions Of the stock list manifesting pres
sure. The only notable exceptions
we're Crucible Steel, which advanced
~ points, and United States Indus
trial Alcohol, which rose AZ. The
Mexican situation evidently gave rise
10 further apprehension, as was dem
opstrated by the lower levels of shares
identified with that country.
Yesterdays advance in metals and
sneeialties was resumed 10 a more
moderate extent at the opening Of to-
DAVIS market, but standard stocks
we're unchanged. The so-called tin
issues, notably American Zinc and
Butte and Superior, were again active
at advances of a half TO a full point
and Alaska gold rose IA.
American Can, Baldwin Locomotive,
Studebaker, Lackawanna Steel, and
others Of the munitions group ranged
slightly over yesterdays finals.
Mexican issues were firm at the out
set, but Welded slightly under pres
sure later.

Constituted and System Is
Generally Bad

r. W. Mulkcy, l.. j. Wentworth and

citizens who are making an investigu-

the visit to the state penitentiary at
Joliet, Illinois; jackson, Michigan;
Saltwater, Minnesota, and the House
of Correction at Detroit, was brought
up before the board of control and Il
sum not to exceed 5000 was allowed
Mr.. Brodie. He proposes to make an in
vestigation of the methods used in
those institutions and report back 10
his commission. which win embody his
report in their recommendation to the
legislature.
The visit to these institutions will
be an economical one for the state as
Mr.. Brodie pays his own way as long
as he is with the motor company.

men who believed they were entitled
to one, not receiving consideration.

men. He said also that he believed thu
minimum sentence law should be re
vised. as every prisoner believes h
should be paroled when the minimum o
his sentence has expired, whether h
is in for murder or statutory offense
Would Also Change Law
