NEW YORK, April 26.-StockS to-
day opened irregular, but the ma
iority of issues presented a firm
tone. Trading was active.
United States Steel recovered an
initial loss of Is and moved up to
145, up Is net, while General Mo-
tors was holding around the pre-
yiouS close.
Delaware & Hudson dropped Az
points to 21915, but other rails, led
by Lehigh Valley, continued their
gains of Wednesday. New York
Central was an exception, opening
off l point at 1856, but it later re-
covered part of the decline.
Othres Move Up
General Outdoor Advertising GER
tificateS dropped 3 points to Al on
its poor earnings statement, while
Continental Insurance rose 3 points
to 80. Loews, Radio, several of the
motors and copper stocks were frac-
tionally higher.
Describing the market, the Wall
Street Journals financial review to-
day said:
Trading in the early dealings
again converged on the rails and
oils. Leaders in the carrier group
made little further progress on the
upside, but large blocks of the prin-
cipal rails were taken at the best
levels of the movement. Transac-
tons in the Petroleum class were
also exceptionally large"
Rails Continue Higher
The upward tendency in the rails
continued through the morning.
New highs we're made by a long list
in this group, and at the same time
considerable buying was going on in
the industrials.
Oils maintained a strong tone
with the cheaper issues rising sub
stantially. Copper shares also were
in demand with Calumet and Ari-
IONA up 81 at 1919, and Anaconda,
up ~ at 6915.
General Railway Signal spurted
33s to 9414, while Gold Dust adj
vanced 31s to 93H. Renewed buy
ing came into Wright Aeronautical,
sending that stock up 7 points to a
new high at 14413.
General Motors. United States
Steel and General Electric were
neglected.

All Grade Instructors Will
Lose Posts at Age
of 90.

Fourteen veteran indianapolis
school teachers will be retired on
pension at the close of the present
school year in June by provisions of
the retirement rule adopted by the
school board Tuesday night.
The board rule passed unani-
mously, provides for retirement of
all grade school teachers and prin-
cipals when they become 68, and
high school teachers and princi-
pals when they become 10.
The rule failed to make any pro-
vision concerning length of service,
as was considered originally by the
board.
Petitions protesting retirement of
two teachers, Miss Alice Geary,
School 80 principal. and Miss En-
lily Halls, School SO principal, were
presented.
Exception Is Denied
John E. King, 1929 Pleasant Run
Blvd, spokesman for the School 80
delegation, declared Miss Geary
still is thoroughly efficient. and is
fully capable of continuing her
work. He asked that she be per-
mitted to teach one more year.
School boards, for a number of
years past, have recognized the need
for a retirement rule" Commissioner
Charles w. Kern said, but have
lacked courage to take action. This
board has great respect for these
old teachers, who served at a
sacrifice when the pay was low, but
we feel our first duty is to the chill
dren. Our action is deemed
necessary for the childrens welfare"
Theodore F. Vonnegut. president,
declared it is impossible to make ex-
ception for one teacher, because in
such a case exceptions would be
asked for all the veteran teachers.
Four Have Resigned
Teachers who would be retired in
clude: Miss Emma Donnan. School
10 principal; Miss Laura Donnan,
Shortridge High School; Miss Lizzie
Stearns. School 80 principal; Miss
Lillian Smith, School SIS; Eugene
Mueller, Shortridge; Miss Angelina
P. Carey, Shortridge; Miss Kate
Metcalf, School 80; Miss Nettie
Downey, School 25; Miss Ida Stick
ney, School 2; Miss Mary Gilkison.
School %; Miss Emily Halls. School
SO principal Miss Martha Griffith,
School 10; Miss Ida Geary, School
80 principal, and Miss Flora Bass,
School &c.
Four teachers who would be
affected by the rule already have
rendered designations.

SENATE REvISES
TAX BILL SANS
AUTO REVENUE
New Measure Calling for
$203,865,OOO Cut Up
for Early Vote.

WASHINGTON. April %. A
S203, 1865, 900 tax reduction bill was
vetoed today by the Senate Finance
Committee Only minor details re-
main to be settled before the bill is
reported TO the Senate.
The measure will conform with
The tax reduction program originally
outlined by the Republican majority
ON the committee except that it will
provide for retention of the estate
tax and repeal of the automobile
tax
Include Inheritance Tax
The difference between the origi-
nal Republican program calling for
S210,000,000 reduction and the S203,-
865,000 approved today is reported
by the inheritance tax which the
Republicans first planned to repeal.
The Democratic minority on the
committee is expected to report
1925 100000 reduction plan to the
Senate as a substitute for the ma
jority bill. The measure passed by
AAAC 4AONAoC Nd4lGO 4OA Il pAOJ iOOO'OOO
cut.
Vote on Party Lines
The committee voted II to 8 on
strictly party lines for 1919 per cent
corporation tax, compared with the
present 49,. The House bill calls
for only H. per cent and Demo-
Gratis favor that figure. This is the
principal difference between the
Republican and Democratic pro-
grams.
The committee also voted a 1912
per cent insurance tax; a SO ex-
emption on theater admission; a 25
per cent tax on prize fight admis-
sionS; 10 per cent on club dues; 2
per cent on capital stock transfers,
and graduated reduction on in
termediate surfaces. The surtax
cut is retroactive to 1927 for indi-
