REPORTS ARE MADE
 0N LIONS FR0L|C
About S3,000 Cleared, President
 H. (. Brown Tells Club

The Lions Frolic of 1927 netted approximately $3,000 according to an incomplete report made today by President Harry c. Brown, of the Lions club. MT. Brown stated that this was not an official report and the amount may be slightly more or slightly less. It was hoped to make an official report today, but Secretary James E. O'Brien reported that all committee members have rot yet reported.
 That the Lions club is interested in the star chamber sessions being held by the police commissioners seemed evident by one Of series Of questions propounded to several members. The questions were sub- mitted in sealed envelopes and were simply fun makers. The following question fell to Police Commissioner Michael J. Bannan: "Give us hint what takes place at the secret ses- sions of the police commission" Former Representative k. H. Erwin, referred to as the under cover boss of Newington." was asked why he did not take steps to curb the wild night life of .Newington. A letter was received from Mrs. George T. Kimball explaining that because of illness and misunder- standing she was unable to help in the Lions frolic. The letter en- closed check for $50.
 Nf quet to be held February 1, when members of the cast will be enter tained as guests, followed. There will be no meeting at noon next week.
 Secretary O'Brien reported on the tickets taken by various organiza- tions in the city. and stated that Rev. Lucyan Bojnowslli, pastor Of the Sacred Heart church, had stated he wanted 500 tickets for the next frolic.
 r. W. Macomber was declared to lead the club in the number of tickets sold by any individual. Walter NJ. Bassfotd, assistant treasurer of the Commercial Trust Co.,, spoke on banking. MT. Bassford called attention to the change in banking methods in the past 10 or 15 years, and pointed out how bank CTS now advertise for and solicit business, where formerly everything was cold and conservative and they just sat around waiting for busi- ness.
 He said there are department banks the same as there are depart ment stores, mentioning insurance, savings, Christmas and vacation clubs, bonds, loans and other forms of service as departments.
 He said the public often does not know that banks carry vacation and Christmas saving accounts simply as an accommodation and at loss to the banks.
 Entertainment was furnished by Walter Young and Katherine Wack- CT of the Central Junior high school, who gave trumpet duet, Broth CTS In Arms" Miss Doris Bradley played the piano.

Danbury, Jan. 25 P) - Peter Zwarick, fourteen year old, charged with having taken part with his mother. Mrs. Rosie Svoritch Gaboza in the killing of Frank Vanco here last Wednesday night, was brought to this city shortly after midnight today from Yonkers, N.

MARKETS TREND STILL DOWNWARD
Opposing Speculators Struggle
 for Control

New York, Jan. 25 P-Opposing speculative forces continued to struggle for control of the price movements in today's stock market but the line of least resistance was again downward. Certain rail, equip ment and automotive issues were bid up at intervals in an apparent attempt to rally the general list, but the pressure against other stocks was too great. Trading was largely professional and sentiment appeared to be bearish for the time being.
 The assignment to creditors of a Philadelphia investment banking firm, the relatively poor showing made by several western roads in their December earnings statement the omission of the dividend on Hayes Wheel common and the poor character of some of the recent an- nual reports all influenced the sell ing of stocks. Erractic fluctuations in the so-called merger rails" and the lack of any authentic informa- tion to explain their recent move ments also weakened bullish enthu- siasm.
 Among the stocks which were prominent in the sporadis rallies that took place throughout the ses- sion were Bangor and Aroostook, Columbia Carbon, Hudson Motor. Mack Trucks, Philadelphia and Reading Coal and Iron. Pressed Steel Car, Radio Corporation and Timken Roller Bearing.
 Tho sharp break in Chesapeake and Ohio was based on reports that the revised Van Sweringens merger plan, which is understood to make that road the chief unit, will involve the issuance of new stock to pNovide for an exchange with the stocks of other constituent roads.

and accepted by the Mexican gov- ernment, will relax the tension be- tween the two countries which has become so great as to threaten the continuance of peaceful relations, " said Senator Robinson. There seems to be long established cus- tom of shrouding diplomatic ne- gotiations in secrecy and mystery. This in itself is calculated to arouse suspicion and to fortify misunder- standing"
 Suggests Arrangements The resolution recognizes the ob- ligation to protect the lives and property of Americans, he pointed out, and suggests arrangements for such protection pending an arbitral decision.
 "The fundamental purpose is to indicate that force should not be resorted to-" he added, "at least un- til every practicable. reasonable ef- fort to arbitrate has failed" Only Two Alternatives
 Senator Robinson said only two alternatives to arbitration seemed probable: A, diplomatic breach and removal of the embargo on arms and armed intervention to police areas in Mexico, which means war
 "Unquestionably the withdrawal of recognition from the Mexican government by the United States, and removal Of the embargo on munitions would be calculated to result in anarchy and the final over- throw of the Mexican government, ' he continued. Tt would cause a state of guerilla warfare in which thousands of innocent persons would be killed and hundreds of millions in property destroyed or stolen. IL would paralize every industry in ! Mexico and impoverish foreigners, including our own nationals. Landing Unpopular
 'The landing of an army force by this government in Mexico for the purpose of protecting the property of our nationals would increase the unpopularity of our government throughout Central America and South America. It would solidify the Mexican people in resistance and result in the sacrifice of thousands who are not directly interested in the Mexican embroglio. It would create throughout the western hem isphere schools in which hatred for the United States would be taught and foster alliance among our neighbors which would constitute a perpetual menace to our commerce and to the safety of our nationals in every foreign country CT the western continent.
 Demands Peace Move
 This is no time for indecision or for timidity. We have the right and l believe we owe the duty to take a decisive stand in favor of proceeding along the highway of peace and against marching toward war" If America's armed forces once enter Mexico, he said, it would not be for year, but flor the lifetime of those who listen to me- And it will mean" he added that the torch and the axe will &C., complish a destruction of American property rights far more com plete than any conflscation contem- plated by the policy of the present Mexican government"
