 Punching Match at 1:30 O'Clock
 This Morning - Brawl Follows
 Dispute During Card Game.
 The vicinity of Broad and Gold streets was the scene early today, of fierce fight in which the prin- cipals were badly used up and later arrested on charges of breach of the peace and assaulting each other. In police court the cases were continued until Wednesday.
 Joseph Dimbenski, 36, of IF Hor- ace street and Joseph Jinowski, &C., of 92 Gold street, fought for 10 minutes or more according to resi- dents who were aroused by the rack ct, and Dimbenski is alleged to have slashed Jinowski with a penknife, in- f1icting cuts on his cheek and ear, while Jinowski, using only his fists. pounded Dimbenski so hard he broke bone in the latter's nose.
 Dr. John J. Tokarczyk, to whose office Jinowski went for treatment, telephoned to Sergeant M. J. Flynn at police headquarters about 1:3O o'clock and Officers Hellberg, James Sullivan and Saunders investigated, returning with the fighters in cus- tody. Dr. l.. B. Slysz attended Dim- benski.
 Fight Over 50 Cent Debt
 According to the police, the men were playing cards in a war veterans club room on Broad street and. an argument arose over a 50 cent debt. The dispute waxed warm, it is said, and there were threats shouted be- fore the game broke up. Jinowski claims Dimbenski waylaid him and launched the attack, slashing him with the knife, but Dimbenski is said to have charged that Jinowski was the aggressor.
 Jinowski, bleeding profusely from his wounds. made his way to Dr, Tokarczyk's office, while Dimbenski was found by the police walking along the street also bleeding. The men presented a sorry sight when presented before the desk at the po- lice station but no serious results are expected from their injuries Attorney Lawrence J. Colon is coun- sel for Jinowski and Attorney B. J. l Monkiewicz represents Dimbenski,

DISAGREEMENT OVER TIME
 SUNDAY SHOWS MAY BEGIN
Ordinance Does Not Specify Either Standard Time or Daylight
 Saving Time

When the common council mem- bers last night passed an ordinance to permit Sunday afternoon moving picture shows, they set the hour at 4 p. m., but failed to specify wheth- CT this is to be daylight saving time or standard time. and today there IS some conjecturing as to the status of Sunday afternoon shows.
 Alderman J. Gustave Johnson, chairman of the ordinance commit tee, said he would prefer to have the corporation counsel determine when the theaters may be opened under the new ordinance, and Mayor Paonessa was of the belief that the performances cannot begin until 5 o'clock. daylight saving time, unless the ordinance is changed.

 After further examination police told Mccarthy to take his men and automobile and carry on with his own business. He was a man witk no known police record here and the officers concluded they could not hold him as the departure of aliens for the United States is. in their interpretation none of Canada's s official concern.
 Mccarthy and his party none or whom could speak much English left at midnight for the waterfront and the last lap of their journey from Europe to Detroit automobile plants.

VESSELS HUNTING
 FOR SWISS PLIERS
Faint Hope Only Remains for Transatlantic Pilots
RELATIVES REC0NCILED
Bare Possibility Still Considered That Men May Be Safe On Lone- some Shore-AIechanic Despalrs and Starts Home.

New York, Aug. 22 LP With only the barest hope that the young Swiss fliers, Oscar Kaesar and Kurt Luescher, survived their westward transatlantic flight attempt, crews of naval and merchant vessels today scanned the north Atlantic for trace of them.
 Edward Charles r. Hughes, chief of naval operations, has ordered naval vessels to maintain a sharp watch for the Swiss airmen and has requested merchant ships to do the same. At Roosevelt field, aviators clung to faint hope that the white monoplane Young Switzerland might yet appear on the eastern horizon, but the hope grew dinner with each passing hour.
 Seen Over Azores
 The youthful fliers, one 21 and the other 22 years old, were last seen flying westward over a village in the Azores on Monday afternoon. They should have reached American shores early Tuesday. The 500 gal Ions of gasoline with which they left Lisbon, bound for New York, could not have kept them in the air much later than that.
 Their Farman monoplane was not equipped with pontoons and would not remain afloat if it came down at sea. The possibility that the avia- tors might have survived forced descent was based on the rubber suits and rubber boat which they carried.
 It was also considered barely pos sible that they might have landed on a tiny island in the Azores or in some lonely spot in Newfoundland or along the Canadian coast.

London, Aug. 22 LP-Roland Bate man, a young Englishman, today was formally charged with attempting to murder Philip Eaton, an American 'schoolmaster, on the night of Aug ust 12.
 After a weeks search, detectives arrested Bateman today as he was walking in Tothenham Court road. The police say he has been sleeping on Hampstead Heath, in North Lon- don, since his return to London from Southend where he was first sought.
 Bateman, who also will be charged with assaulting Eaton and robbing him of about S20O, will appear at Marlborough street police court to- morrow.
 Mr. Eaton was found in his fash ionablc Mayfair flat severly beaten and bleeding from several wounds last week. Taken to St. Georges hos pital, he told police a half coherent story of an attack by two men. one Of whom sat upon him and slashed him with a razor.
 On August 16, James Moore, al- leged companion of Bateman, was remanded in custody on charges of and receiving clothing which belonged to Eaton.
 Scotland Yard presumably has all the clues for solution of the myster- iouS attack since the arrest of Bate man.
 MT Eaton had made such progress toward recovery at the beginning of this week that he was expected soon to leave the hospital for a nursing home.

 BULGARIAN PLOT
Premier Maniu BelittIeS Plot Says Authorities We'll Informed

Bucharest, Rumania, July II CP) Ten more arrests of suspects in connection with the recently crush ed revolutionary movement in Bu- charest were made during the night, bringing the number now in custody to 3S.
 Premier Maniu in an interview with the correspondent for the As sociated Press, said the movement was of no consequence and that the public throughout Rumania was perfectly calm and going about it's work as usual.
 Known Two Months Ago
 Tt was known two months ago that former Colonel StoiCa, who is an eXcitable character, had begun formation of an organization based upon fascist principles under his own leadership" said the premier. The uselessness of such an or ganization and the lack of serious leadership made the attempt at a rising without result.
 His son, who is an engineer in the aeronautic workshops, induced Lieutenant Georgescu, also employ cd in the workshops to join the movement as we'll as three other officers, Captain Zambra, Lieu tenant Hanulescu and Captain Nasilescu, who worked together with Stoica. Besides these several foremen and workers in the shops adhered to the movement"
 Arrests Ordered
 Last week the members of the organization held two night meet ings. Lieutenant Georgescu re- Ceived orders to form a secret com pany of 100 men. As such forma- tions and meetings are unlawful. the authorities gave orders, after a long investigation, to arrest every one connected.

 ON STOCK MARKET
Selling DepreSSeS But Utilities
 Battle Way to Gains

New York, July II P1PersisteGt selling for both accounts again de- pressed a wide range of issues in todays stock market, but operations for the advance, centering in the utilities, carried the general list it- regularly higher.
 Failure of the call loan rate to go below per cent, and uncertainty as to what may be expected from the weekly brokerage loan state ment, due to appear after the close Of the market, caused some uneasi- ness and induced profit taking and Tightening of commitments.
 The undertone of the money mar ket, however, was easy, and Wall street still believed that lower money rates can be expected in the near future. Further paying off of New York banks indebtedness to the fed eral reserve, however, tended to null lify for the present the influence of an inflow of funds from the in- terior. Announcement that the treasury will retire $75,000,0G0 ill 3 F per cent notes was regarded as promising some improvement. unless the federal reserve acts to offset the influence on the money market.
 As last weeks brokerage loan to- tai was but $24,OO0,O0O from the record total of March 20. Wall street was prepared to see another new high record, but the highly irregular market of the past week made pre- dictions difficult as to what change nay be expected in the total.
