Carlos China of New Britain ap-
peared in the Berlin town court last
evening and pleaded guilty to a charge
of reckless driving. He was fined $25
and cost and sentence was suspended.
China and his brother were driving
two trucks south on the turnpike
Sunday morning. There was a car
following his truck and another car
approaching in back of the latter car.
The car in the rear ran up in front Of
China's truck and 'cut in closely
causing the entire group to stop. A
peculiar circumstance is that If the
man had not pleaded guilty he would
have been allowed to go, as the au-
thorities are after the man who cut in
and caused the mixup.
Bonds in the case of Joseph Bonez

LETTERS TO EDITORS
ON Berlin SCHOOLS
Three Documents Throw Light on
Various Phases Of Discussion

The editor of The Herald has been
the recipient of three letters regard
ing the Berlin school situation today
The three are submitted below with
no comment from this paper. They
will probably be read with interest by
Berlin people, who seem to be con-

Miss Griswold for Superintendent

To the Editor of The Herald
1t is to laugh! Apropos the petition
to the School Board of the Town of
Berlin seeking the position of super
intendent for Miss Griswold I would
like to bet hat that fifty per cent
of the signers of the petition do not
know Miss Griswold from a telegra ph
pole. But then, that does not matter;
one can secure signers for any petit
ton for anything in these days.
And then in passing it might be
pertinent to ask through what train
ing or by what natural aptitude are
the signers of the petition qualified to
judge as to the fitness or unfitness of
any person for the important position
of superintendent Of schools in a town
with the school problems which face
Berlin.

Chicago Grain Market.

CHICAGO, March 6.-All the
grains opened slightly lower today,
but they began to show strength
early. At Liverpool wheat was "
pence above the previous close at
2 o'clock. Initial prices here were:
Wheat-May, $1.1Sh@A: July,
$1.14A Oh; September $1.12% on.
Corn-May, 74B @75h cents: July.
76K OK cents; September, 77B
cents.
oats-May, 44% cents; July, 44A
cents; September, 43A cents.
Rye-May, 82h@B cents.
There was little selling in wheat,
but as on the previous day it
lacked force. There was scattered
selling in corn. Offerings were
well taken, rallying the market.
Trade in oats was light.
Commenting on the wheat supply
situation one house today says:
Even if computations of small
reserves at crop end be proven cor.
rect, 1T must be remembered that
Canada has ample supplies still
back and that there is a worlds
surplus Of normal size. A plenti.

NEW YORK, March 6.-Since the
first of the year American munich.
pal districts, including cities ana
towns, counties, States and school
districts, have issued approximately
SITS 200, 900 in ntw municipal bond
issues, a slight decline over the same
period last year, a tabulation today
showed.
Specialists in municipal bonds re-
port that their present problem -
to find the bonds for customers
rather than customers for bonds.
The most prominent issue floated
last month was the $S,000.000 city
Of Philadelphia per cent loan,
which by commanding such q pre-
MUM that the cost to the city was
only 3.88 per cent, established q
new high.price level for nnunictpals.
Some American investors are los
ing the interest on $90,00OsOO0
worth OF United States Victory
notes, and Uncle Sam is anxious
that those who kindly loaned him
this money should not suffer fur
Their loss. But the only remedy for
this situation lies in the actual
turning In OF Victory bonds, called
for redemption on December ID,
last, on which interest ceased ON
that date. In order to avoid further
loss Secretary Mellon urges that
holders of the Victory notes in Sc
ries of A to F present them
promptly to the Treasury Depart
ment in exchange for cash or for
bonds that are still working"
No less than two billion dollars
in new loans have been furnished
to foreign governments and foreign
corporations during the past three
years by American investors. Last
year we sent over $3.50, 565, 900 to
foreign governments and munich
palities and $191. 100000 to foreign
corporations, the largest amount OF
any postwar year. This figure re-
flutes the erroneous statements that
Americans are giving no aid to
European rehabilitation.
Public utility bonds again pre-.
dominate in today's offerings OF
new bonds. The principal new
issues are: 5000 900 refundine
mortgage 81 per cents OF the Pub
lie Service Company of Northern
Illinois: $4,000 per cent gold
debenture bonds Of the American
Power and Light Company.

ONUPNARD
TREND
BuIIish Tone in Motor, Tire,
and Equipment Stocks Fea-
ture Early Trading.
BY Cosmopolitan News Service.

NEW YORK, March 6.-Bullish
demonstrations in motor, tire and
equipment stocks featured the first
two hours Of trading on the stock
exchange today. Strength in these
departments was due to reports OF
large orders. with hints of possible
price increases. It was noted, how.
ever, that violent movements in Ger.
tain stocks were not to the liking of
conservative traders, who were in
clined to restrict operations in the
general list. Their caution account
ed for the relative quietness of most
standard stocks, which gave the
market an appearance of uneven
ness.
The equipment stocks were con.
sistently strong and were bought
steadily at rising prices. Baldwin.
advancing more than two points to
140R, came within striking distance
of this years high of 142. American
Locomotive was equally strong, ris-
ing nearly two points to 1870. Lima,
despite it's unfavorable report for
1922, improved about a point, at 69S.
Steel Steady.
Steel and copper stocks were quiet
but steady. United States Steel adj
vanced fractionally to 1854.
Violent price changes occurred in
motor accessory stocks. Stewart
Warner continued asterdays SEN
sational advance, gaining about two
points at 1914, after which it broke
eight points in a few minutes of
trading. The highly speculative
character of the present movement
was also reflected in Stromberg
which dropped five points to S9h
from its early high, a net loss of
three points. American Bosch Mag
neto also fluctuated sharply, moving
up originally seven points to so and
declining to 5715 in subsequent deal
ings.
More orderly trading was witness
ed in the motor and tire stocks.
In both groups new highs for this
year were established, notably by
studebaker at 125H, one-point
rise, and Maxwell Motor "A" at
SAN. an equally large gain. Chan
dler Motor duplicated this years.
high at rs, Kelly Springfield moved
into new high ground, advancing
nearly two points to 561a.
The oil section displayed firnness,
but advances were mostly frac-
tional. Houston Oil moved over a
wider range, rising more than a
point to 1874.
Rail Quiet.
Railroad stocks attracted but lit.
tie attention, no trace of the recent
bullishness being noticeable Bal
timore and Ohio was under light
pressure, yielding point to 81, but
other railroad stocks maintained
their positions very well.
Some strong spots We're found
among the specialties. Interna-
tional Paper touched a new high at
58h, one-point advance, and
Remington Typewriter was bid up
more than a point to 4S1s. Iron
Products was again very strong,
rising three points to 81.
Money renewed at per cent.
The foreign exchange market was
steady.
