BOND TRADING IS
Merely A TRICKLE
Tightening Money Conditions
Discourage Traders Today

New York, Dec. R-Early trad
ing in the bond market was a mere
trickle of business today, with price
changes confined to fractions and
without definite trend. Tightening
money conditions evidently discour-
aged traders generally.
More active issues included Gould
Coupler Is, International Match IS,
Inland Steel I LIS. and Transcon-
tinental Oil LIS, all Of which
showed fractional losses. Dodge
Brothers IS improved. Coppers were
dull and heavy.
Little attention was paid to rails.
although Pennsylvania Gold SIS
and Frisco 1-2s changed hands in
some volume at yesterdays prices.
The foreign list was dull and ir-
regular.

slated to enter matrimony with
President Coolidge's son. John. But

1T seems that across the border
the conservative household and

been SO besieged by cameras of all

his daughters engagement that the
stern executive is now an avowed
enemy of all shutter men.
Here is how the Hays office ad-
vised its in to approach the Gov
ernor:
Assure him that it will be done
in most dignified way. Say that
the young lady will be given copy
Of the reel and that it will not be
shown anywhere until she and her
family have seen it.
Tell the governor that when his
first grandson is born the company
will be glad to film the baby and
add that part to its wedding present,
I'm shooting the picture tell the
governor that all that is required
is to let truck draw up in his

members OF the family should be
assembled; that his daughter should
say something worthwhile that will
make her beloved by the American
people.
''Since this Is a talker we would
also suggest to him that the family
dog be allowed to bark. Tell him
that barking records eXcellently and

Captain Kelly was notified at 20
lice headquarters shortly before 3
o'clock this afternoon that two au-
tomobiles sped through Plantsville.
defying all the speed laws, and it was
learned that Sebastiano Coccomo of
5S Lincoln street, this city, was driv-
ing the first car, while Tony Nirelli
Of Waterbury. formerly of New
Britain, was one OF the occupants OF
the second car.
Nirelli jumped out and was held
by the Plantsville authorities, while
Coccomo doubled back towards
Waterbury. The Plantsville au-
thorities asked that Coccomo be ar
rested for reckless driving. The
authorities were inclined to believe
that the mad race had some con-
nection with bootlegging activities.

Feel Relief


cling of relief this morning among
those who scanned the official bull
letin board outside of Buckingham
palace when they learned that King
George had fairly comfortable
night and that improvement over
yesterday in some of the aspects Of
his case we're indicated.
The throng this morning was able
to read easily the words of the medi-
cal statement in large block letters
when it was posted on larger bull
lctin board about IL o'clock after
the doctors had their morning con-
sultation.
Cloudy skies and raw atmos-
phere did rot prevent a large gath
ering outside the palace. Through
out the night knots of people had
fingered in the neighborhood of the
real residence. AS late as three
a. H., a line of taxicabs and auto
mobiles whose occupants had come
for tidings of the condition of the
ruler stretched the whole length Of
the pavement in front of the palace.
Gives Flowers
One touching incident during the
morning was the arrival at the gate
of the palace of a young woman ac-
conpanied by little girl. Each car
ried a bunch of violets. one of which
was labeled "'or the King" and the
other For the Queen" An officer
of the gate received the flora!
tributes and passed them on into
the palace. There was nothing on
the labels to identify the donors.

hurried journey home. The cruiser
Enterprise brought him into Alden
today and was TO sail again this eve

This fact is a favorable augury for Mexico. II Of
fers some assurance that Mexico will continue to have
a peaceful. orderly government and that military power
will be subordinated to civil power, which can alone
protect the liberties of the people and foster their spir-
itual and material welfare.
President Gil is a civilian and has no military
Mexican army. He comes to his high position without
resort to arms. Even IL his nomination by The Mexican
congress was dictated. the assassination Of obregon led
and outwsrdly constitutional procedure was followed
in choosing a provisional president.
The attitude Of the military leaders has been thus
far ccmmendable. so far as an outsider may judge OF
conditions in Mexico. In his farewell message Callcs
gave some excellent advice to the military leaders. and
they seem disposed to follow it. Gales himself set an
admirable example by refusing to retain the presiden-
tial office, which he might have done, had he so de-
sired, and by saying that he would never again serve
as president.

politicians will not be idle and it is possible. il no.
