NEW HAVEN, Conn, June 21.-Ray
c. Spang of Ansonia, mentally unbal-
snced, today threw his wife and all
four of their children to their deaths
over the edge of West Rock, a high
cliff in this city's park system, and
later jumped to his own death.
Spang, who was 35 years of age, was
a war veteran and recently returned
home from the Brooklyn Naval Hos
pital. He had been employed by a
manufacturing concern in Seymour, the
adjoining town to Ansonia.
Three bodies were recovered from the
base of the cliff early this afternoon.
Ansonia police reported that Spang
and his family left home this morning
for days outing, and apparently
came here and went to the rock for
a picnic.
Spang clambered rs feet down the
face of the rock after he had thrown
his victims over and sat down on a
protruding ledge. He was there more
than an hour, occasionally tossing a
pebble into the air. A city fireman was
lowered to within a few feet of him
and tried to engage him in conversa-
ton. He was not successful, he re-
ported later.
At 1910 Spang took OFF his shoes
and jumped 20 feet or more From
above ne was seen to roll over and
over and then disappear, and half an
hour later he was not to be found.
Police we're certain he had been killed
and his body was In the drift rock at
the base of the cliff. They also be-
lieved the bodies of the wife and of
one child were somewhere in the seams
of the cliff.
The man with a woman and several
children had been seen walking up the
rock in the morning. A boy reported
to the police later that he had heard
the woman pleading with the man, but
he did not know what the trouble was
between them.
1t was the police theory that the
family started to the picnic at the top
of the cliff and that Spang seized them
one by one and hurled them over the
edge.

Summer begins tonight.

At 1854 pm, Eastern standard time,
the sun crosses the Summer Solstice, or
enters the constellation of the Crab
in the Zodiac, or reaches the point
midway between the vernal and au-
tumnal equinoxes, where it ends its long
journey northward from the Equator
and starts its slow trek backward to
the point where nights and days are
always equal.
Actually, of course, the sun does
nothing of the kind because it does not
move at all relative to the earth. The
earth moves relative to the sun, but to
an observer who is part of the earth
1t looks as If the sun were moving and
1t amounts to the same thing.
Theoretically this should be the years
longest day but because of the peculiar
astronomical complications this year,
both tomorrow and Monday will each
be one minute longer. From tonight
until December 81, the sun viii be
moving southwark, to the eye of the
earthly observer, but it will remain
Summer until it crosses the autumnal
equinox on September %.
So far as Washington Is concerned
it appears to have been Summer for
some time. but the astronomical calen-

D|SBARMENT TRIAL
IS FACED BY FIVE
Soliciting in Court Building
and False Pretenses Are
Among Charges.

Five members of the Washington bar
will face disbarment proceedings this
afternoon when a general term of
Police Court judges is to be called for
trial of the men for alleged irregulari-
ties in practice.
The men, four colored and a white
attorney, are charged with using the
halls of the court building to solicit
practice, obtaining fees under false
pretenses and other similar charges.
Two Of the lawyers, it is understood,
have had complaints filed against them
since last Fall.
Many complaints have been received
at court about attorneys using the
anterooms of the assistant District at
torney's Office and the halls of the
building for their own offices. In re-
cent weeks court bailiffs have been
stationed to keep the halls cleared.
Another of the charges, of which
there are several instances, is the ac-
ceptance of fees to represent in court
and then failing to appear at the trial
without suitable excuse.
One attorney is alleged to have rep
resented client, who was given long
term In jail. The sentenced mans
father came from South Carolina tc
this city and talked to the Judge in
behalf of his son. He promised that II
the sentence were suspended the boy
would leave the jurisdiction. The father
returned home before the Judge took
action. The lawyer is alleged to have
discovered that the magistrate was 60
ing to free his client and Immediately
wired the father that $75 was needed
to secure the release of the son. The
desired money was sent and the boy
subsequently released The charge is
that the attorney accepted money for
securing the boys release though actu-
ally having no part in the affair. He
had been paid a retaining fee before
the trial.
An effort will be made to prevent the
accused men from further practice in
the Police Court 1t is said that II
this attempt is successful other action
will follow. The four judges of the
court will occupy the bench jointly in
the United States branch of the court
with Gus A. Schuldt, presiding magis-
trate, in charge.

STOCKS DEPRESSED

NEW YORK, June 21.-The specu-
lative markets again broke under Sc
we're selling pressure today, ending the
third week of almost steady declines.
Important shares on the New York
Stock Exchange tumbled So to SIS,
scores reaching new low levels for the
year or longer.
The selling again embraced the lead
ing commodity markets. At Chicago
July wheat sagged more than cent a
bushel to the lowest level in about Is
years. Cotton broke sharply on the
New York market, recording losses OF
about 81 a bale. At London bar silver
again dropped to new low levels.
Selling vas not in especially large
volume on the Stock Exchange sales
for the tWo-hour session barely aggre-
eating 2,000,000 shares, but the market
was almost entirely without support. In
the last half hour, moderate recoveries
occurred, but brokers attributed them
largely to covering purchases by shorts
who had sold at higher levels.
Professional bear selling was regarded
as an important factor in the further
decline, as it was felt IN brokerage cir
cleS that the selling out of weak hold
ings of stock had been fairly we'll COM
pleted in the heavy liquidation earlier
in the week.
United States Steel common tumbled
81 share to $154, a new 1880 low, 81
under the previous low established
earlier in the week, and only 81 above
the November minimum. 1t closed at
$l55.25. American Can, however,
closed at $110.12, virtually the lowest
of the day, off nearly So.
American Telephone dropped more
than 81 to 1902, only rs cents above
the resistance level established early
In the week, but closed at 1908. West
inghouSe Electric lost about Sc. then
rallied nearly So.
Shares losing about 81 to 81 included
Radio, General Motors, Columbia Gas,
Public Service of New Jersey, Para
mount, Loews, Vanadium, Case Bethle-
hem, General Electric, Sears Roebuck

When the International Geophysical
Union meets In Stockholm in August,
with Dr. H. H. Kimball of the United
States Weather Bureau as the Amer
ican delegate. the British delegation
will propose another sort of seasonal
calendar for adoption by the world.
This would make the vernal and autumn
nal equinoxes and the Winter and
Summer solstices the middle rather
than the starting points of the respec-
tive seasons. Under this system June
81 would be the middle of Summer,
March 20 the middle of Spring, and so
on.
The proposal was brought at the
meeting of the American Geophysical
Union here last month, but several OBJ
jections were advanced. although 1t was
admitted that 1t would be more in ac-
cord with the actual condition of nature
IN the temperate zone.
Nearly everywhere the first signs OF
Spring begin to appear in February,
such as the budding of the pussywillcws
and the first signs of Summer come in
May. The calendar would be made to
agree with these manifestations of ma
ture rather than with the traditional
changes In the face of the night sky.

Sierra de Pachuca Range between Tam
pico and Mexico City.

Sirius similar to the one in which Col
Lindbergh recently established a trans

SENATORS RECEIVE
PLEAFOR DISTRICT
Group Urging Passage of Ap.

promise Possible.

While the status of the deadlock
District appropriation bill remained
unchanged today, Senate leaders grant
ed an audience to delegation of out
standing local citizens, who presented
a petition similar to the one given to
House leaders yesterday, urging re-
sumption of conferences and calling at
tention to the hardShips that would re-
suit from adjournment of Congress
without an agreement.
Senator Watson of Indiana, Repub-
lican floor leader; Senator Fess of
Ohio, majority whip, and Senator
Bingham, in charge of the local appro-
priation bill, joined in comforting with
the group of citizens and listened to
the reading of the memorial.
After the petition had been read the
Senate leaders discussed the situation
briefly, going over the history of the
lump-sum controversy that led up to
the present deadlock.
Senate View Stated.
The three Senators all emphasized
that the Senate confereeS have not
been insisting on the $l2.000,000 Fed
eral contribution approved by the Sem
ate, but have been willing to meet the
House on some middle ground between
thaC ngure and the $9,0OO,O00 lump sum
insisted on by the House.
The Senate leaders indicated that
they felt the Senate conferees have
taken reasonable position in Offering
to meet the House half way or even
better, but that thus far they had not
been able to get from the House menu
bers any agreement above the $9,000,-
900.
All three Senators emphasized the
law requiring District expenses to be
met 60 per cent by the District and 40
per cent by the Federal Government is
still on the statute book, and that if
that law were followed the Federal con-
tribution would be approximately $15,-
900, 1000.
Call $4,000, 900 Fair.
The Senators pointed out that they
regarded the $12,000,000 recommended
by the Senate committee as a reason
able amount, but emphasized again that
in conference they we're willing to COM
promise with the House on some figure
below $12,000,00O.
The delegation of citizens presenting
the petition included bankers, lawyers,
civic leaders and labor forces. Among
those present were Robert V. Fleming.
