Wide Open Break in Response
To Announcement

New York, Aug. 3.-(E-The stock
market broke 3 TO nearly lG points
on the first onslaught of selling
which followed President Coolidge S
statement that he did not choose to
be a candidate in 1923 and immedi-
ately staged remarkable recovery
which substantially reduced, or
wiped out most Of the early losses
and carried few issues to record
high levels.
The initial break, while unusually
severe was by no means dcmoralizing
Offerings appeared to come largely
from pools and professional traders
who have been sponsoring the recent
ADVANCE. So-called public participa-
tion in the market has been on a
small scale in recent months accord
ing to leading commission houses
with the bulk of speculative activity
in high priced issues which do not
appeal to the small speculator be-
cause Of the large margin required
to carry them.
Extreme Declines
Opening prices, as a rule, register
ed the extreme declines. The subse.
quent rally undoubtedly was stimu-
lated by short covering of profes-

FACTOR IN DICTUM

London, Aug. 8.-LR)-Several
London morning newspapers, in brief
notes attached to the news, associat-
ed President Coolidge's renuncia-
tion Of a third term with the happen
ings at the Geneva naval conference.
The Westminster Gazette says:
"In view Of the fact that he was
responsible for the convening Of the
conference, desiring to crown his
present term Of office with an his
toric act. 1t may be surmised that
the Geneva failure is ! prime factor
in his unexpected decision, which

SUIT AGAINST CITY FOR GRADE CHANCE
Alden Street Property Owners
 Claim S5,00O Damage

Claiming that their property was damaged to a great extent by the changing of the grade on Alden street and that they have not been compensated for the damage done, Stanley and Magdclina Gorski, through Cornelius Danaher, have brought suit for S5,OO0 damages against the City of New Britain, Deputy Sheriff Martin Horwitz served the papers.
 The plaintiffs claim that they own three tracts of property on AL den street. on one of which tracts is q two family dwelling house. The de- fendant changed the grade of the street by raising the height of it and by doing considerable filling in.
 Before the change in grade was made, the plaintiffs claim, the en- trance to the property was practical ly level with the sidewalk, the house was habitable and dry and the foundation was in good condition, and the land around the foundation was level with the sidewalk line. Cutters carried the water past, and away from, the property.
 The plaintiffs claim that the prem ises are now made difficult of ac- cess. The cellar is below the grade of the street and water has entered on the premises from the street. The building is damp and is less de- slrable as a residence. The funda- tion is impaired and water runs into the premises.
 It is claimed that it will be neces- sary to regrade the entire premises at large expense and that the prop cry has been depreciated s4,000.
 Notwithstanding the fact that the grade was changed and the filling in was done a long and unreasonable time ago. the defendant has not made an effort to ascertain or as- sess the damages and benefits re- sulting from the change, as provided by law. No notice has been given the plaintiffs of an intent 10 ascer- tain the damages and benefits, al- though the city knew, or ought 10 have known. that the changes had especially damaged the plaintiffs property. The plaintiffs have not been competent for the damage, they say.

 Again in March

Hartford, Dec. IT R-A nine to three disagreement. with the majori- iy favoring acquittal. has temporari- ly halted action in the states prose- cuuon of Stuart k. Florian, 24, Southington young man accused of being an accomplice Of the Plants Vile National bank robbers last summer.
 States Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn announced that Florian again will be placed on trial at the March term of the superior court and in the in- terim he will not press action against Albert w. Meyer, Thomas DiMarco and William kappello, the trio &C., cused of actually robbing the bank. It was the claim of the state that Florian assisted in the holdup by furnishing information relative to the bank.

Myron s. Churchill of Newington. Arthur H. Ashton of Wethersheld. Leonidas Pelton of Windsor and Robert Bid- well of Windsor Locks. Those who voted him guilty are Robert Nichol- son and Howard A.
