CREDIT GREATNESS
 MARKS RECESSION
Funds Available for Any PromiS-
 ing Enterprise

New York, Dec. 29-tP-The business recession of 1880 has con- trasted strikingly with that of 1921 in the apparent abundance of credit available for any promising commer- cial enterprise.
 Not only in 1921, but in most de- pressed periods of the past 50 years. the situation has been aggravated by frozen credit and high rates for funds to carry on essential business.
 This year, however. has witnessed a drastic Chcapening of credit, par ticularly short term credit. Call money has been offered day after day at 1 per cent against the 1929 peak of 20 per cent.
 The United States treasury was recently able to offer siX-month certificates with a coupon rate of only 3-4 per cent, the lowest since the government inaugurated this form Of short term borrowing.
 It has been true, particularly in the later months of the year, how ever, that the abundant credit avail able has been handled with consiI- crable conservatism.
 The freeing of credit damned up in the security markets has been on a vast scale. Figures for actual brok- craze loans, as represented by total borrowings of New York stock ex- change members, have dropped to little more than s2,O0O.OO0, 900, con- pared to nearly s4,0OO, 100000 at the start of the year and the peak of about $500, 100000 on October l, 1929

DECLINE IN BONDS
 SURPRISES MARKET
Crash Breaks Precedent, Adds
 Another Disappointment

New York, Dec. 29 [P -- The bond market ignored precedent in 1880 and proved one of the major disappointments of a gloomy finan- cial year.
 The stage was set for bonds to cheer a sick business world back to health, as they have in past depres- sions, but except for brief interludes they remained in the wings during the first eight months and remained ill during the final quarter.
 At best the sole demand during the first eight months was only for the very best investment issues. Sec ond grade issues were neglected and followed more closely the trend of stocks.
 Git-edged domestic corporate ob- legations and United States govern ments, however, were bought in un- precedented volume by commercial and savings banks due to cheapness of money.
 Late in the final quarter banks did considerable liquidating of their holdings to maintain a highly liquid position. and only United States gov ernment obligations were unaffected by the decline which carried the price level down to the lowest point in five years. as 1880 closed.
 Approximately 75 per cent of the new financing in 1880 was in bonds, against only 46 per cent in 1929. While the volume of stock issues contracted, new bond issues amount ed to. early 5i. billions.

interests. The fact is. that the politically speaking, rests in the sus- picion that his liberalism was but a pose-a suspicion that is expressed by liberals with increasing frequen- cy.
 But while the liberals are suspect ing MT. Hoover of "standpatism," the standpat group in his party is displeased because he doesn't take an aggressive stand in harmony with their views. The fact that he does not please either of the extremes in his party, may be evidence that MT. Hoover is a fairly good middle-of- the-rOad republican, after all.
 Want Norris to Lead Ticket
 Presurcs on Senator George w. Norris to get him to take leadership in a third party movement is being increased. But here again is at least one difficulty. Norris is the man who has caught the imagination of the liberals, but Borah. perhaps, is the man who would like to be the great leader' of political up- heaval in the United States. In re- cent years. third party movements have been wrecked by personal am- bitions, and these .tgain may prove to be the formidable barrier to a successful revolt. Norris might be willing to step aside for Borah, but the liberal sentiment throughout the United States would not, according to liberals here, rally around Borah as it would around the Nebraskan.
 Thus it appears that 1881 will find President Hoover fighting the crucial battle for his political exist ence, with the republican party fac ing th1 menace of another split be- tween progressives and conserva- tives. In the meantime, the demo- cratic party has an opportunity to pull another blundcr such as it did in 1924. They say here in Washing ton that the democrats can be de pended on to do the wrong thing at the right time"

POISON ANDP|ST0L
 FAIL ID KILL MAN
Chef Attempts Suicide in Home
 On Winter Street

Anthony Johnson, 4S, of 82 Win ter street, is at the New Britain Gen. eral hospital in critical condition following an attempt to end his life while alone in his home yesterday morning by swallowing poison and shooting himself through the mouth.
 Johnson was discovered by neigh bors who heard the shots while the mans wife and fl year old son were at church. He was lying on a couch in the kitchen of his home bleeding from wounds in his check and left hand. The police and a physician were called.
 Dr. David Waskowitz and Dr. Roman Lekston treated him at his home before he was removed to the hospital
 The police noticed a strong anti septic odor about the house and d, search revealed d bottle of disinfect- ant which was corked and on a shelf in the kitchen. At the hospital it was learned that Johnson had at tempted to swallow some of it but had spilled most of 1t on his face and clothing.
 Seven Shells Under Couch
 Sergeant Michael J. Flynn and Policemen Alfred Tanguay and David Doty also found pistol of English make on the floor beside the couch on which Johnson was lying. Seven discharged shells were found under the couch and the weapon was cooked and ready to fire with a loaded shell in the chamber
 Police believe that Johnson took the poison before he went 10 the couch to lie down. As he lay on the couch he apparently pulled the trigger of the revolver while the gun was placed in his mouth and the bullet pierced his cheek and lodged in the wall near the head of the couch. The police also believe that the other shots were pumped about the room before he became unconscious and they believe that in this manner his left hand was wounded.
 Johnson was employed at the Burritt hotel as a chef until Satur- day. At this time he told the man. ager, Fred Thornton. that the con- dition Of his health made it impos- sble for him to work any longer.
 Was Excellent Workman
 Sergeant Michael Flynn and Pat rick McAvay questioned Mir Thorn ton and learned that Johnson was considered an excellent workman but had shown signs of eccentricity for some time prior to his resigna- ton. On one or two occasions re- gently Thornton told the police that Johnson asked him if it was true that he was scheduled for discharge.
 On Friday afternoon he came to the detective bureau and asked De- tective Sergeant Tllinger if the po-
