effect upon the market for French

heavy, was sufficient to carry prices
down fractionally from the closing
level of Friday. French Government

vious close of 99a and the decline
in the per cents was a fraction
larger. The average loss in French
municipal issues amounted to =
points.

da ted Oil 6s were a feature, adVanc-
ing almost a point, to 1861. Youngs-
town Sheet and Tube stood out
strongly among Industrial issues,
which otherwise were subjected to
selling pressure.
The market for railway securities
was heavy, with Baltimore ard OHIO

Speculative Issues Gain.

registered by these bonds.

Heads of War Dept. Are Called
 Today to Examine Muster Plan
17 Major Generals Included Among Those in Pre-.
 Defense Day Demonstration Conference

Washington. July 3 P-Heads of all branches and sections of the war department were called into confer ence today by Major General John l.. Hines, chief of staff, to examine their detailed plans for holding to- morrow q nationwide muster test of the national defense machinery. The meeting was described by Gen eral Hines as q preliminary muster of the war department itself.
 Seventeen major generals were in- cluded among the 2S officers sum- moned to the conference, similar departmental muster having been held by General Pershing's direction just prior to the first defense test last September. In a statement ex- plaining the reason for the confer ence General Hines pointed out that the departments plans under the national defense act really Consti- uted "a scheme for putting the country into a complete state of de- fense against any enemies whatso- ever"
 Naturally, among the most i'm portant unit plans are those of the several sections of the general staff and of the several branches of the war department in Washington,
New Britain herald., 1925-07-03
al Hines said,

General Hines said.
 These offices will have to admin ister the expansion of our national forces. To do this they will, of course, have to expand themselves, Unless their unit plans are carefully and logically drawn the offices can- not expand with rapidity and eff ciency. Unless they are able to 50 expand the expansions of all other units of the army will be inefficient.
 The progress In planning has been generally satisfactory. While the plans have not yet been complet- ed, they have been carried suffi- ciently far to permit their function ing on the outbreak of an emer- gGncy. In fact, we have now reached the stage when the general basis of the plans has been stabilized and what Is now wanted Is sugges- tions for improvements in specific details.
 The inspection and muster of q company, held periodically, exercises beneficial effects alike on the com pany commander, the individual members of his company and the morale Of his organization. Today's conference is a muster of the war department"

STRONG MAN POSSES
 B|G SAFE WITH EASE
Then Rips Door Off to Steal S700-Brushes
 Aside Seven Cops

Paterson, N. J, July 3 Pt-An unidentified strong man with a vo- cabulary of only two words ye5ter- day tossed around a 600-pound safe. ripped the door off, pushed aside seven policemen and a store pro- prietor, dived through plate glass window, knocked two men down, and finally was captured by means of flying football tackle.
 Somewhere in the course of these activities he received some severe shocks of the head, one of which, physicians said, was likely to prove fatal.
 The man Is unidentified because he could only say "all right" He appeared to be otherwise dumb, and not able to write. In the afternoon, he entered a hardware store oper- ate1 by George Steele, pushed Stcele'S safe from the first floor to the basement, tore the door off, and took S700. Steele telephoned 10 po- lice headquarters and seven men were sent to the hardware shop. When they tackled the dumb man, he plunged through them, knocking several down, and then took head long dive through Steele's store window, the door having been loCkeI.
 A street car conductor, seeing the chase which followed, sprang from his car and tried to stop the man, but was so seriously injured he was taken to a hospital.
 Another man, Thomas Tracy, a vatchman, also tried to stop the fugitive. and had more success. He went at him football fashion. and when the seven policemen arrived, they found Tracy cIinging to the hig mans ankles. The police piled on, also in football fashion, and in due time the thief was subdued. They took him to the hospital
 ''1Iow do you feel?" they asked. "All right" he said. and gave this same answer to every question.
 But doctors at the hospital say his death might be expected at any hour. They believe he has a frac- turod skull.
 The man was Identified Inter by his finger prints in the New York bureau Of Identification as John Weber, e9, c6o West fifth street. New York. an Australian, and he was on May ii, 1924. sentenced to the penitentiary for burglary hy JuiEe 0lTanev. The record also showed the man was arrested at Bridgeport Conn.

 Lengths at Henley

Henley Thames, July 3 Pl- Jack Berestord, IT,, of London. pres- ent title holder. today defeated Wal ter NJ. Hoover. of Philadelphia, in the elimination for the diamond sculs. of the Henley regatta.
 Hereford won by three lengths. Ills time was eight minutes and 27 sec- onds.
 Rowing experts were much sur prised at Hoover's defeat. The American vas all in at the finish and sat for three minutes without mov- ing. He displayed disappointing form during the race by comparison with his work yesterday, His style was slightly ragged and the length of his stroke not SO good as heretofore.
 Hoover and Beresford started at a great pace and kept even with each other for the first 50 yards. Beres- ford spurted first. and pushed his boat a few feet ahead of Hoover's at the 200 yards point, but by row. ing strongly Hoover gradually over hauled the Londoner and at the quarter mile they were even again.
 There was little difference between them for the next 200 yards, but a spurt by Beresford put him a half length ahead at the mile post. Bercsford maintained this lead for another quarter of a mile and then forged further ahead despite the Americans gallant effort to reduce the gap between the boats, which 800 yards from the finish was IF lengths. Beresford, rowing strongly, increased this distance and won by three lengths, apparently still in fairly fresh condition
 Hoover's defeat caused a sensa- tion. not only because it upset the predictions of experts but because Of the coming race between Hoover and Beresford for the Philadelphia gold challenge cup, representing the amateur singles sculling champion ship of the world, which Beresford now holds. The date for this race has not been definitely fixed, but it is expected to occur about two weeks hence on the Thames near Putney.
 In the other semi-tinals heat for the diamond souls, D, H. Gollan of the Leander club defeated H. F. Det- ton of France. Gollan and Beresford will row the final race for the trophy tomorrow.

 Dr. Neal has left for Tennessee with the necessary data and the ap plicaton for federal injunction 10 prevent the state authorities from proceeding with the case will be made either Monday or Tuesday at Knoxville or Chattanooga.
 Two complaints will be filed in the federal court determined upon by pr. Neal, said Mir. Darrow. One will be filed by Scopes and the other by a property holder as yet not Chosen.
 The complaints will in effect, be applications for injunctions 10 re- strain the state court from proceed ing with the trial of Scopes at Day. ton, Tenn, July 10. Two major considerations are lu- volved in the proposed step: To oo- tain a short cut to a determination of the constitutionality of the meas lure and 10 remove sensational ele- mont from the case. Also 1t is de- sired 10 bring home to tfe people the really serious aspect 1t has as- suned.
 This is an increasingly serious matter" said Darrow upon his ar rival from New York. Tennessee is not the only state which has this law.

 It is supported by strongly or gani2cd element.
 "The Dayton trial has been treat ed with levity, and 1t Is not a mat ter for joking"
