80 MUSICAL MILKMEN,
Chorus Appears in Hall Used by
Symphony Orchestra.

MINNEAPOLIS, March R.-
The indispensable milkman, often
heard but seldom seen, has been ele-
waited to high musical standing in
Minneapolis through the activities of
the male chorus of the Franklin Co
operative Creamery.
This concern, a protege of local
trade unions, has cultivated the voices
necessarily stilled during the quiet
milk delivery hours, until the chorus
of 33 members has more offers for
local engagements than it can fill.
Drilled by Olaf Halten, base violin
player with the Minneapolis Sym
phony Orchestra, the singing milkmen
attained unprecedented heights by ap-
pearing in concert at the same music
hall retained by the symphony.

FIVE BIG FACTORS
IN STOCK TUMBLE
Traders Agree on Causes of
Drop, But Are Divided on
Next Probable Trend.
By the Associated Press.


NEW YORK, March 6.-Over-
shadowing all other Developments in
the weeks financial markets was the
sensational break in stock prices, the
greatest in history, followed by an
irregular recovery, the ultimate effect
Of which was the chief subject of
discussion in Wall Street when the
week closed. Stock trading had no
sooner returned to normal proper
tions, however when the BRAND
ministry fell in France as a result
of its legislative defeat on the sales
tax and French francs crumbled over
j. points to around 800 cents, or
within striking distance of the year s
low of 3.5412 cents.
While opinion of professional stock
market observers is still divided as
to the next definite trend of prices,
there was an almost unanimity of
agreement on several points. These
were:
|. That speculative operations on
the long side had been grossly over
done in many issues.
2 That the technical position of the
market has been improved by the
recent reaction.
8. That the decline was not asso-
ciatcd with any actual change i'll bust
ness. although the future trend OF
business is still a controversial sub
ject.
4. That imitation of security values
was not accompanied by imitation OF
commodity prices or business gener-
ally; and
). That there is no strain on the
credit situation which has been
forerunner of most of the violent
declines of the past.
In some quarters the usual Spring
rise in stock prices is looked Tor. with
The oils and coppers. which had not
participated extensively in the recent
advance, in the forefront; while in
other quarters opinions equally as
positive are held that the pun
movement. which has been in prog
ress over two years. is definitely over
and that the bear" market is under
way.

 Have Confessed

 She vas Mrs. Louise Calvert. She was executed for strangling 10 death her landlady, Mrs. Lily Wa terhouse. and then robbine her.
 The hanging took place despite the fact that thousands of persons by petition intercoded with tho home secretary. Sir William Joyn- son-Hicks. for clemancy. To the ap- peals Sir William said he found no grounds which would justify him in advising the king 10 interfere with the carrying out of the due course Of the law. Among those most energetic in circulating the petitions for reprievo was Mrs. Culvert's husband, from whom she was separated at the time Of the murder.
 The last execution of q woman in England occurred in 1923. In that year Mrs. Edith Thompson convicted with Richard r. Bywa- ters, was hanged for complicity in the murder of her husband.
 Although Mrs. Calvert maintained her innocence until the eleventh hour, it was understood that she made a full confession of the crime just before being led 10 the scaffold.
 Mrs. Calvert met death stoically, She gave no trouble to the eXecu. tioner and his assistant and the hanging was carried out without hitch. A crowd of several hundred persons waited silently outside of the prison walls until notice of the execution was posted when they quietly dispersed.
 The condemned woman saw her baby boy on Monday after which she was visited by several rela- tives. Her husband and her six year old son, Kenneth, hade her farewell last night. The little boy "H9 HOI hhftIc VI tllo sllItH'HS ol his visit and was overjoyed 10 see his mother. Later he proudly told several persons who took a friend ly interest in him that he had come on a long railway journey to see his nanny"
 Mrs. Calvert is the first woman 10 be executed in Manchester since i 1886 when Mary Britland was hanged for murdering another woman.

 My present thought is that I shall rest and take some recreation for a few weeks or months before I attempt to take up any special ac- tiyity."
