Another Break in
 the Stock Market
Renewal of Selling Resulted From Poor Showing of Lo- cal Federal Reserve Bank.

New York, Feb. 24-The stock mar ket. was again very much unsettled today, all classes of issues, except rails, breaking from three to fifteen points. Renewal of liquidation was largely prompted by last weeks poor showing of the local federal reserve bank with reserves below legal re- quirements, and another reaction in foreign exchange, which cancelled the greater part of the recent recovery.
 The day was not without its favor akle incidents, notably the January statement of the countrys foreign trade, which disclosed a gain of almost $50,0o0 over the preceding month. and an abundance of call or demand loans at per cent.
 Buying of rails of the secondary or reorganized groups was again on an extensive scale, at extreme advances of one to four points and this advan- tage was dissipated in the final hour, when liquidation was at it's height. Sales aggregated 100000 shares.
 Motors, oils. steels, equipments, shippings and allied specialties, more or less in the order named, furnished the greater part of the days activity and price depreciation General Mo tors overshadowed all others falling IA 3-4 points to 235 1-2, against last weeks maximum of 254.
 Other weak issues included Chand- Ter, Maxwell second preferred. Stutz, Pierce Arrow and Studebaker Motors at recessions of 5 1-2 to 10 points, motor specialties. particularly tire shares, also crumbling.
 In the special or miscellaneous shares American Woolen lost nine points, Endicott-Jo Johnson 10 1-S and food issues two to three points, cop pers and utilities also giving way after an early neriod of steadiness.

ARE OUR ARMY OFFICERS
 AREiNG BRITISH IN DRESS?

Washing gton, Feb. 24-Cut of Gen eral Pershing's coat and trousers was debated today in the house. He+and other American army officers were charged by Representative ConnaIly. democrat, Texas with having 'aped'' European fashions in their uniforms and in carrying canes.
 General Pershing's coat is split up the back and his trousers bagged like the English un.form," said MT Con- nally.
 "He kept his American head,' Rep resentative Wingo, democrat Arkan- sas, interjected, but I. too. noticed that his tai was very English
 Deploring the adoption of foreign fashions, Representative Connally moved to abolish the title of under secretary of state and substitute the former title of counsellor, in the ex- ecutive appropriation bill, but the motion was defeated, 39 to 2I.
 During the discuss on Representa- tive Greene, republican Massachu- setts, referred to Former Secretary Lansing's refinement from the cabi- net.
 What's in a name?" MT. Greene asked. "A secretary of state by any other name would have 8 row with the administration"
 When the republicans cheered, Re- presentatEve .Connally brought a salvo from the democrats by retorting that the republicans applauded internal difficulties of the administration.

DIFFICULTIES OF THE
 CONNECTICUT TROLLEY co.

Hartford, Feb. 24.-The statement that because the New Haven road as a corporate entity owns all of the $4O,- 100000 stock of the Connecticut and therefore is forced under Connecti- cut statutes to keep the commuters rate on the Manchester line is the chief feature of the joint brief of the town of Manchester and the Man chester commuters in the zone fare system hearing, filed with the public utilities commission today.
 The company's brief set sforth that the commission, in fixing reasonable maximum fares on the trolley lines cannot establish commuters rates be- cause those rates would be unreason- ably low.
 Today was the last day for filing of briefs by the company and the sev- ral towns petitioning the utilities com mission to abolish the zone system. Up to noon time nly the Manches- ter, Bridgeport, Hamden and Connec- ticut company briefs had been receiv- ed at the commissions office.

INSTITUTIONS BENEFlcARlEs
 OF c. G. THOMPSON ESTATE

New York. Feb. 24.-Through settle ment today of suit to breaN the will of the late Charles c. Thonpson, six institutions will receive at least ST. 800,000 each from the residEary estate upon the death of MT. ThoTnpson's sis ter Miss Mary Thompson. The insti- tutions are Columbia University, the New York Historical Society, the New York Hospital Presbyterian Hospital, the Association for Improving the condition of the Poor. and the Chi1- dren's Aid Society. Mr. Thompson. a trustee of the New York Life Insur- ance and Trust Company, died last December at the age Of 80 years.
 The suit to break the will was brought by Mrs. Nora Loftus Gardin- CT, mother of a grond niece of Mr. Thompson and she alleged that he was of unsound mind when he made the will in 1907, at which time his two sisters, Mary and Elizabeth Thomp- son, made reciprocal wills providing that after the death of all three the six institutions should become resi- duary legatees. Miss Elizabeth Thompson has since died
 The will drawn by MT. Thompson bequeather $1O0,oOO to Mrs. Gardiner's husband. but he died before MT. Thompson. Under the settlement made today Mrs. Gardiner's children will re- ceiye $23Ss 000.

APPOINTMENT OF NEW sEcY
 OF STATE EXPECTED TODAY

Washington. Feb. 24. President Wilson = expected to announce to- morrow his selection of a successor to Robert Lansing as secretary of state.
 White House officials in saying to- night that announcement of the ap- pointment might be expected within the next twenty four hours refused to discuss the question of whom the president had agreed upon
 The name of Frank L. Polk, secre- tary ad interim since the resignation of Mir. Lansing ten days ago after a disagreement with the president over the calling of cabinet meetings, and previously under secretary of state, continues to be mentioned most prom inently for the portfolio. Little sur prise in fact would be evidenced in unofficial corcIes if Mir. Polk were se- lected.
 Speculation as to the possibility of MT. Polk selection takes cognizance of the fact that he understands thoroughly the Adriatic question. the most pressing matter now engaging the attention of the state department. Alson the appointment of the under secr&ary as secretary would be in line with the policy followed when MT. Lansing then holding an office cor responding to that occupied by MT. Polk, was made secretary after Will jam Jennings Bryan resigned.
 Possibility of the transfer of Newton D. Baker from ~.e war department to the state department also continued to be discussed today along with the probability that MT. Wilson might go outside his official family to choose a new secretary.

COST OF LIVING AND
 SCENES IN SOVIET RUSSIA

Amsterdam, Feb. 24. - Conditions among the Soviet peasantry, cost of living, and scenes at Moscow and the other Soviet centers are given by the staff correspondent of the Handels blade, G. Nypels, who is just back from an extended tour through Soviet Russia.
 At the railway station in Smolensk, :" the correspondent writes, there is long row of stalls in which people sit behind little barred windows and sell all sorts of merchandise.
 I noticed the prices. One pound of salted meat was 320 rubles; a pound of black bread 100 rubles; a little piece of potato cake 40 rubles. A lit tie water glass full of makhorka (to- bacco, root) was 100 rubles.
 "On the station platform one sees the soldiers lying about amidst the dirt which covers the ground. They roll their cigarettes with bits of paper torn from newspapers, and wait patiently for what will happen next.
 ''By the side of a big cash register stands a barmaid selling salted meat, cake and pastry to the srnartly dress ed men gathered about her. The poor devils lying on the ground do not even notice it, for they know very well that in the new state there are rich men and poor men just as before"
 Although the correspondent had un- derstood that in Soviet Russia all trade was considered as speculation and that the er-reyolutionary committee severely punished every man who sinned against the law, he found that nobody seemed to mind" :" and that one could get almost any, thing without tickets or coupons. but for exhorbitant prices.
 T afterwards found the same thing in Moscow" he declares. Tt was on a greater scale. The Communistic laborer cannot get fifty grammes of bread day, but the farmers come in- to town all the same with their sacks of corn, selling their stuff at fany prices.
 "The Communist government pays it's skilled laborers 5000 rubles a month and the unskilled at least 5000 rubles. But he who wants to keep his stimach filled needs at least 30,- 900 rubies a month"
 The correspondent found much vod- ka (some of it deadly stuff) and great luxury in the bolsheyik commissary messes. and asserts that many of the Russian officers have formed the CO., caine habit This drug is so expen- sive, he declares, that it costs the ad- diets zoo rubles day to sniff their cocaine"
 Officers pay. he says, may seem high at 3,200 to 5000 month, but an officers tobacco will cost him 2,000 rubles a month, and every sheet out of an old copy book from which he may cut dozen cigarette papers costs him two rubleS

BATTLE IN OHIO FOR CONTROL
 OF REPUBLICAN, DELEGATES

Columbus, O.. Feb. 24.-With an nouncement of Former Attorney General Edward c. Turner as a can-l didate for large to the republican national convention nam ing General Leonard Wood as his first choice for president, a pitched battle between United States Sena tor Warren G. Harding and General Wood for control of Ohios. AS dele gates is looming.
 Senator Harding's selection of For mer Common Pleas Judge Thomas NJ Bigger and Henry A. Williams as delegates from the Twelfth (Colum- bus) district after Turner and Com mon Pleas Judge E. B. Kinkead had announced themselves as candidates, with Harding as first choice, appears to have precipitated the battle. Both Bigger and Williams filed as candi- dates for delegate today, accompany ing their declarations with letters from Senator Harding \authorizing them to name his as their first choice for president. Both Turner and Kin kead had been endorsed as district delegates by the Franklin county re- publican central committee.
 Whether Turner's announcement as a Wood candidate will be followed by others both for delegate at large and in the districts generally through- out the state. is not definitely known, but such is expected. No announce ment has yet been made from Gen. eral Woods headquarters whether full set of Wood delegates will be en- tered.

cAILLAUx TELLS OF HIS
 RELATIONS WITH 6oLo PAsHA

Paris, Feb. 24.-The former French premier, Joseph Caillaux, charged with reasonable dealings with the Germans and conspiring to bring about a dishenorable peace, gave tes- timony today before the senate sitting as a high court. Caiilaux's eXnlana- tions of his relations with Bolo Pasha Pierre Lenoir. M. Duval and Minguel Almereyda three of whom expiated their crimes on Execution Hill at Vim cennes while the last named died un der strang circumstances in Fresnes prison. occupied the whole session
 M Caillaux disposed of Lenoir, Du- val and Almereyda with nonchalance and in comparatively short time, but the ghost of Bolo Pasha lowered about the ex-premier for long hours. and the accused seemed to realize that the crucial point of the examination had been reached, and he experienced greater difficulties in extricating him. self from his social relations with the executed traitor, whi1h he now ap- parently feels were too intimate.

STATE DEPT. FORWARDS
 THE ADRIATIc REPLY

Washington, Feb. 24 - President Wilson's reply to the entente pre- miers on the Adriatie question was dispatched tonight by the state de- pertinent.
 Officials still declined to discuss the contents of the communication. but it is known that in his exchanges with the premiers the president has made an unequivocal statement of the American governments position, especially with regard to the form ing of agreements without the par tic patton of this country.
 It is understood that in his latest note the president does not return precisely to the arguments and de- cision announced in the note of De- cember 9, which formed the basis of the Adriatic agreement to which the United States subscribed, as import ant events which have occurred in Plume since that time are said to have necessitated notifications in some respects to meet the changed conditions.
 However, the president is said to have refused to agree to the terms of the settlement arrived at by the pre- miers and sent to Jugo Slavia as an ultimatum.
 Acting Secretary Polk is endeavor- Ing to arrange for the simultaneous publication of the correspondence on both sides of the Atlantic and it is regarded now as probable that the notes will be made public in Wash ington soon after the presidents re- ply is delivered at London and Paris.

Washington Feb. 24.-Plans to hasten a final decision on the peace treaty were made by senate republi- cans today while the administration leaders were taking counsel among ther divided colleagues as to what should be the final democratic stand on ratification.
 The republican determination to bring the question to q conclusion was announced on the senate floor by the party leader, Senator Lodge, who said he would call up the treaty again Thursday and ask that it re- main the business of the senate until disposed of.
 Meantime the democratic leader, Senator Hitchcock, vetoed for the present the proposal for a party eau GUS, sponsored by democratic sena- tors who want to end the long con- troversy by taking the republican reservations as they stand. Senator Hitchcock said he had talked to those who differed with him as to the
