DEMAND FOR RAILS
 BOND MARKET AID
Traders Encouraged by Upturn
 Encountered in List

New York, July Il LP-Bonds im- proved substantially again today as the demand continued for high grade railroad, utility and foreign issues.
 Bond men are reported 10 be en- couraged by the brisk upturn which has resulted from the broadened trading this week. Buying has been of an investment character and bond men see in the thin offerings an in- evitably higher level of prices if the pendulum continues to swing to- wards bond buying. The money market remains virtually unchanged at it's low level and this, with the continued stability of equity issues, contributes to a strong fundamental position for a rise in bond prices.
 Bank support shows another in- crease this week. Banks in the New York federal reserve district added 5000, 900 worth of bonds to their holdings, bringing the total of pur- chases 10 $48,000,00O since the new rediscount rate was established.
 Both mortgage rails and converti- ble issues were in demand today. Atchison General As topped it's years high established yesterday with a 1-2 point gain. Pennsylvania 4 1-2s gained about the same to rise to a new top for the year. St. Louis San Francisco 4 1-2s, a legal issue, was popular with buyers. Long Island refunding 4s were strong with near ly 3, ? point gain. Louisville and Nashville 4 1-2s, were heavily trad cd and moved higher. New Haven 1-2s were firm.
 St. Paul Adjustment 5s. Chesa- peake corporation 5s and Chicago Rock Island and Pacific 1-2s were convertible issues which found favor.
 Several utility issues were we'll bought, Denver Gas and Electric 5's were strong, rising more than two points. Detroit Edison Ref. As and Public Service 4 1-2's sold at their high price of the year, and new III Siio " clC lIIduc DS LtiAtl ltdu l 1tlt- phone debenture 5's, and Southern Bell Telephone 5's.
 Avid interest was displayed in leading European government issues and British, French, and German is sues made moderate gains. Lautaro Nitrate warrant 6's rose four points and it's strength was apparently in luenced on further reports of com- pletion of the Chilean nitrate com bine. kreuger and Toll warrant 5's Were active and firm.
 United States governments were dull and slightly lower.
 Bond offerings for the week to- taled s146,71Q,000. a marked in crease over the previous week when the total was s93.S11.00o Offerings today included a s25,0O0.00O Cana dian Pacific 1-2 per cent issue which was oversubscribed.

RETIREMENT BILL
PASSED BY SENATE
Raises Maximum Annuity to
$1,000 and Advances Age
Limit Two Years.

The Senate this afternoon uneXpect-
edly took up and passed the Dale bill,
liberalizing the civil service retirement
law for Government employees both in
Washington and throughout the coun-
try.
The main features of the measure are
that it raises the maximum annuity
from $1,000 to $1,000 year and gives
employees the option of retiring two
years earlier than under existing law
provided they have had 80 years Of
service.
Died Under Coolidge.
1t is the same bill which passed both
House and Senate in the last Congress,
but which failed to become law be-
cause former President Coolidge did not
sign 1t in the closing hours of the old
Congress last March.
Following the favorable action of the
Senate today, the bill will now go to
the House, where 1t must be acted on
before it goes to the White House.
Under the present law all employees,
after Is years of service, are eligible to
retire at the age of 20, whereas under
the Dale bill all employees, after 80
years, of service, would be eligible to
apply for retirement at the age of SO
and receive an increased annuity. Under
the present law letter carriers, post
Office clerks and similar workers are
eligible to retire at IS, after Is years
of service, while under the new bill
they would be eligible to retire at SO
If they have 80 years of service. Rail-
way mail clerks and those engaged in
hazardous work at the present time are
eligible to retire at the age of 81, after
Is years of service. Under this bill
these employees could apply for retire
ment at the age of 60, after 80 years
of service
The bill came up in the Senate dur
ing the calling of the calendar and
was explained by Senator Dale, Repub-
lican, of Vermont, chairman of the
civil service committee, for more than
half an hour, after which it was per-
mitted to pass without the formality
of roll call vote.
Most of the discussion related to the
technical question of how much the
Government liability is and when the
Government might be called upon to
meet it's liability. Senator Dale eX-
planned that while this bill increases
the maximum annuity from $1,000 to
81 200, the average annuity paid at the
present time is only $740, and this av-

assistant corporation counsels, who arc
prosecuting Shelby and Kelly, revealed
that they had abandoned plans to call
several witnesses in rebuttal when tine
defense rested its case.
One of these rebuttal witnesses, whose
identity had been closely yelled in
secrecy, it was disclosed, was to have
been former Policeman Robert j. Allen,
who already has been on the witness
stand four times since the trial be-
gan, December 8. While Allen will not
now be used as a rebuttal witness, the
prosecution intends to call him to per-
NIT the trial board to question him
about certain details of his previous
testimony.
The board, 1t is said, is particularly
anxious to clarity certain points in
Aliens testimony relative to his state
ment that he saw a man escape from
the rear of the Park Lane Apartments
prior to the finding of Mrs. McPher-
sons garroted body.
If the trial ends this afternoon, the
trial board proposes to return to the
District Building and convene in eXecu-
tive session to deliberate the verdict.
According to Maj. L. E. Atkins, chair
man of the board, the verdict will be
announced as soon as it is reached.
