INTEREST IN BOND
 MARKET SLIGHT:
Volume of Transactions in Most
 Securities Is Small

New York. May IT R>-Interest in the bond market was at a low ebb in today's trading. High grade se- curities, especially the rails, were being picked up here and there through the list. But turnovers were small and there was no indica- ltion that any large accumulation was under way in the face of con- ltinued uneasiness over credit and money.
 Although the convertibles. as us- attention, the volume of transactions in most of the stock privilege securi- ties was small. American Telephone 41as were sold rather freely dip. ping to their low at, 130 5-S on a decline in the shares. Missouri Pacific 5hs, which were leading tho market early in the week. picked up more than half point as the shares advanced slightly, but the number of bonds sold was relatively small.

SCHEMING TO KILL
 DEbENTURE CLAUSE
(Continued from First Page)

the dehenture clause will be elimi- mated because the conference com mittee stands 8 to 2 against the de- benture feature, although the five senators are bound temporarily at least by the action of the senate in adopting the plan.
 The tarift strategy is working out equally we'll from the administra- ton standpoint. The house ways and means committee haS already drawn . half dosen secret amendments to the pending bill. These amendments make some of the changes desired by the farm bloc and the leaders think they will draw farm bloc sup- port to the bill. If they do. the tariff can be passed within a week over democratic objections.
 While the big issues of the ses- sion are being decided in the house at this time, the senate is tied up in an executive session over the old question of whether presidential nominations should be considered in secret. The immediate question Is the nomination of Irwin Lenroot. a former senator from Wisconsin, who has been named by President Hoover to be a member of the U. s. court of customs appeals. The senate voted late yesterday 3s to s4 against con- sidering the nomination in public, the s4 votes representing far less than the two-thirds majority neces- sary for an open executive session.
 Collective discussion was resumed by the creditor experts of the rep arations conference late this after noon after an hours delay caused by the unexpected duration of priv ate discussions.

BIRD CEASES SQUIRREL

The unusual sight of a blackbird and a gray squirrel in a hattie was noted yesterday in West Main street yard. The squirrel had sur reptiotiously pilfered something of
 the birds private stock and had start
 ed down the tree when spotted by
 her highness. In a scant second she darted at the nut cracker as he scampered down the tree and struck at him several times in the descent. The squirred dashed madly across the lawn the blackbird continuing the battle and on even terms. The battle became so hot that the squir- rel was forced to stop to fight back.
 Quicker than the eye could catch the move the blackbird retrieved some
 of the stolen goods and was on the
 wing before MT. Squirrel could sink
 his teeth. '

GUNP0WER BLAST !. KILLS l.. HURTS 2
Fire at Winchester Plant Fatal
 to Patrick Doherty

New Haven, May 17 R1Patrick Doherty of New Haven. who was in- jured in an explosion at the Win chester plant today. died of his in- juries at New Haven hospital this afternoon. Doherty was in a critical condition when taken to the hospi- tai suffering from severe face and body burns.
 Fred Hoeger and John Coogan were in the plant emergency hospi- tai with less serious injuries
 All of the injured were employed in the powder mixing department of the plant. The small wooden struc- ture in which they were working was badly damaged.
 Plant officials said the explosions followed fire of unknown origin. An investigation was ordered.
 The explosion was caused by a small fire in one Of the mixing houses known as C-52.
 The origin of the blaze is a mys- tery to Winchester officials. Only a small amount, of powder was in the building but it was sufficient to partly demolish the structure.
 The three injured men were just entering tho building when the ex- plosion occurred. They were thrown to the ground with considerable force and all three were burned by the blast. Emergency treatment was given the men at the Winches- ter hospital. before they were taken to the New Haven and Grace hos- pitals.
 The force of the explosion shat tered windows in the main plant of the Winchester company. The fac- tory fire department was able to stop the fire that followed the explo- sion before tho arrival of the New Haven fire department. All three injured men have been employees of the Winchester company for long periods of time. Hoeger was em- ployed as foreman of the wrecked building, and has been working at the plant since 1902. Doherty came to the plant in 1907 and Coogan in 1915.
 An investigation has been started by officials of the city and Winches- ter company to ascertain the cause of the lire.
