CONVERTIBLE BOND

NEW YORK, May 20-Holders of

day. Nearly al of these issues were at

The new Southern Pacific convertible
4l2s, on the closing Of the syndicate,
dropped pa points below the figure at
which they were offered in March. The
reception to this issue was unfavorable
on the part of stockholders of the road.
When the rights" expired last We'd

Another conspicuously weak convert

graph Is. which declined point, selling
international Telephone AIS lost over
a point and Missouri Pacific SIS nearly
point, with fractional declines in
American I. G.. Chemical 512s and
American Inte"n2 tional Corporation
SIPS. There was some recovery in these
issues when the stock market rallied
from the drive agNlst it around mid
day.
The favorable decision in the ORAL
Ion case brought a sharp rally in all
the railroad convertibles.
The high-grade issues were sluggish,
making no response to the lower money

Many of them have reacted from the
April advance and are selling lower
than at any time since bonds started
to react There is an extremely narrow
market for inactive issues, which was
reflected in numerous declines of to 3

and among underlying mortgages.
Government issues today showed de-

The concessions expected to be
granted by the United States in order
to make repsrations settlements easier
were offset today by opposition from

foreign bond market was quiet and

 B|G WIFE BEATER
Judge 1raceski Tells Nadeau He
 Should Feel Ashamed

"A big husky fellow like you ought to bc ashamed to hit a little woman like your wife" Judge stanley J. Trarosl1i told John Nadeau, 33, of s Beaver street in police court today after hearing Mrs. Nadeau's story ot her husbands abuse. ''Nerc It not for the fact that you have four chIl- dreu who need all the money you can earn, and also because yonr wife needs your support, l would send you 10 jail for a good long term"
 Nadoau asked for d chance. prom ising to behave. and assurin. the court that he was intoxicated ard not in his right senses or he would not have punched his wife last Sun day when sh" rcmoustratcd with hlm for striking the children. Judge Traceski told him drunkenness Was no excuse for wife beating, and lie imposed q suspended jail sentence of GO days. placing Nadeau in care of the probation officer.
 Sergeant r. !. OMara testified that he went 10 the Nadeau home last Sunday to investigate a com plaint, but learned that Mrs. NJ deau had gone to her fathers home on Lafayette street. He located her there and learned that she had been punched so severely that one tooth was broken off and her face was swollen. Even today, there were discolorations under her eyes. The sergeant could not find Nadeau at the factory where he is employed or any place else, but Sergeant Fceney arrested him last night
 Mrs. Nadeau testified that her iHs- bands fondness for drink was the cause Of the trouble During the Lentcn season he let 1t alone ar1 was very agreeable, but during the past few weeks he has been into\i- cate: every Saturday and Sunday. Th"re are four children in in" fam fly. the youngest being four and the oldest 1o years Of age.

 America Defends Action
 The American position. set forth by Secretary Stimson, was that the I'm Alone Was within hours sailing distance of the shore when hailed; that continuous hot pursuit took place, and that the sinking was justified. Replying to the Canadian contention that pursuit under the treaty should be confined to the one hour sailing limit unless begun with M the three mile territorial waters of the United States, Mr. Stimson said:
 should the right of the United States authorities be denied to con- tlnue the pursuit of vessels on the high seas when they have been hail. ed within the treaty limit. it would seem that the advantages proposed
