BOND LIST DULL, PRICES IRREGULAR
U. s. Governments Continue On
 Their Downward Trend

New York, Aug. IS tP--The list ed bond market was dull and mar rowly irregular today. Some realiz- ing at the high prices recently es- tablished by railroad and utility bonds tended to offset gains by others in the group.
 United States governments con- tinued on the downward trend which developed several days ago, with the recession very gradual. The New York Federal Reserve bank has been buying governments the past 0 days to offset the gold exports. The in crease in holding for the whole sys- tenn was s3O,1l3.0O0.
 One of the lightest weeks of the year for financing closed with an s,0o0,000 5 per cent bond offering by the Indianapolis Power and Light Co. Dearth of new offerings this week has confirmed expectations among bond houses that August would be an unusually light month for new financing.
 Legal railroad and utility issues were dull and unimportant changes were the rule. Among the domestic issues, the best demand developed for American Smelling and Refining 5s which reached new high for the year. Humble Oil and Refining 515 s and several railroad obligations. Rock Island, Arkansas and Louisi- ana 4 lcs, St. Paul and Duluth As, and Grand Rapids and Indiana F s, inactive issues reached new peaks.
 A mild rally developed in Trans continental Oil warrant 61as which advanced more than a point to a new years high, apparently infuenc- ed by reports that 70 per cent of the shareholders of the company had approved the merger with Ohio Oil company. Warner Brothers con- vertible 6s continued to regain lost ground and rose more than two points on the movement.

Trumbull Disapproves
 Old Age Pension DOles

Hartford, Aug. Is Pl-Governor Trumbull today expressed disap- proval of an old age pension meas ure that would call for doles or out right cash donations as a solution to the problem of caring for aged men unable to support themselves by working.

 Such a crossing over a distance of 3,2S7 miles, air line, would con- pare with the Graf Zeppelin's rec ord of 4,2Oo miles from Lakehurst to Friedrichshafen in 55 hours 24 minutes ,an average speed of about 75 miles per hour.
 Radio messages from the dirigible both to stations in Canada and to the air ministry at London, said that all was well aboard. A newspaper man stressed the beauty of the scene as the Gulf of St. Lawrence and the Belle Isle Straits were passed.
 Passage Very Smooth
 He commented that the ship trav- eled so smoothly that as they sat down for dinner they were hardly aware of the movement. With printed menu cards and the excel lent cuisine the atmosphere, he said, was much more like that of a Piccadilly circus, or Fifth avenue, than of a lighter-than-ai craft miles out over the Atlantic.
 A radio message fromthe S. s. Empress of Australia said the R-100 passed above that ship at 5:50 p. m. G. M. T. G:3o p. m. E. S. T.) yes- terday when the ship was 100 miles east of Belle Isle The dirisible re- mained in sight for two hours.
 The ships master radioed: Wis ibility was perfect. There was a cloudless sky with brilliant sun- shine. There was a light westerly wind. No message was receivd from the airship."
 Aided by Light Wind
 The air ministry, reporting the ships position as of midnight G. M. T. C p. m. E. S. T.) last night said the dirigible was cruising on three engines in longitude 44:10 west latitude 52:30 north, a position l. 3S5 miles east and north of Mon- treal The distance represented an average speed of 61:3 miles per hour.
 At midnight there was wester- ly wind Of about 12 miles per hour helping the craft along: it was fly- ing at height of about 1,7o0 feet, with the temperature 51 degrees. the weather overcast and the skys rapidly clouding with cirrostrata.
 The R-100 left St. Hubert air port, Montreal, at S:2S p. m. E. s. T. Wednesday. It had remained in Canada 13 days after a crossing ot IS hours and 5 minutes from Card ington.

EscaneS Terrific Storm

Aboard R-100, Aug. Is LP - This dirigible, bound for England, during the night escaped what it appeared was a terrific storm.
 Thursday evenings sunset was ac- companied by dark clouds which shortly after filled the sky. The temperature dropped and there was every indication of the setting in of a furious atmospheric disturbance.
 The dirgible descended almost precipitately 1000 feet. and just In time managed to clear the storm zone. A heavy rain followed, but the airship maintained good speed and all is well.
 Passengers were loud In praise of the officers skill in, navigation of the ship.
 During the early hours of the morning the dirigible passed the half way mark of its 3,2S7 mile voyage. The crossing thus far has been ex- traordinarily tranquil with not a single untoward circumstance of in- convenience occurring.

 After the greeting between the wo.lan, long thought dead, and her husband. Mrs. Packard suddenly cav the children. When she dis covered the tiny girl, less than two years old, showed no signs of re- .cognizlng her, sheNwas deeply up- Set and wept unrestrainedly.
 It was evident during the discus- sion that Packard wished to con- tlnue with his second wife and that hls first wife was willing to help thls arrangement. The woman who returned, as from the grave, also .offered to do what she could to aid in the care of her children. While It was indicated she might take them no definite arrangement was made and 1t was considered probably that her assistance would be in the form of financial aid for the grand parents
 Determination of the identity of the woman buried as Mrs Packard was the principle problem facing in vestigators.
 The body, detective said stoday, was found two miles from a railroad sattion in an isolated section. It Was beneath the overhanging limbs Of spruce tree and wound about the head were some articles of cloth Ing. Nearby was a partially emp tied bottle that had contained an anaesthetic. The body was dis covered in August, 1929, and was buried shortly afterward when no one appeared to identify it.
 About two months ago Packard appeared and talked with the detec- tive about the body found a year ago. From articles of clothing, and the description he identified it as his wife.
 The Vermont Children's Aid so- ciety and an insurance company which had a small policy on Mrs. Packard's life, refused to accept the identification. About a month after the Identification by Packard he married the second wife, who came here with him today.
 Well-dressed. in a light brown suit the 22-year-old candy maker ap- peared a little worried when he ar rived Jay although his second wife a year his senior, seemed more dis turbed as newspapermen and photog- raphers surrounded the family group.
 Questioned about the develop ments, the second Mrs. Packard told newspapermen T was dumbfound- ed"
 Before she could say more her husband ordered her not to talk.
 For his own part. he said: T don't know nothing. There's no use ask ing me" Later, he commented that we were never so important in our lives"

FAITH And FINANCIAL FACTS

in an editorial that SchnItz-
Ter, who seems to be worried
about our institutions, had the
Producers News in mind when
he vomited up his venom. But
that paper often goes off half
cooked. A couple of other
papers had vitrolic references
to the ad. but mentioned no
names.
John, who signed the state
ment as "Iohn w. Schnitzler,
manager ara president; said
in big black type:
THE FIRST STATE BANK
OF FROID CAN AND WILL
WHEN CALLED UPON PAY
EVERY DEPOSITOR IN
FULL, UPON. TEN DAYS
NOTICE. CAN THERE BE
GREATER SECURITY"
This is interesting and re-
assuring.
We have read the statement
and will say that it all de-
ponds on JOhn-whether ne
protects the public or himself:
The banks cash reserves don't
quite equal the Schnitzler Cor
poration deposits-if he should
get shaky himself, but forbid
the thought! John organized
the Schnitzler corporation just
to protect the people.
If things are as John says,
and he is able: will and can do
what he says, why all the big
noise? Why not just demon
strate and let it go at that !
That would be a knockout 10
the 'Viper."
The money in the Schnltzler
Corporation, and the cash IN
the bank we take it, is the
same money. We wonder II
John can borrow money on
farm land and machinery
notes.
We know a number of peo-
pie who can't.
This may be pertinent and
personal bait John raised the
issue. We will discuss the mat
ter further if he feels talka-
tive.
