Primo Carnera at least has helped locate some of the battered fiStic ancients who had not been heard of in years. The Camera Camps ! sleuths somehow have managed to detect the old cauliflowers in their ! native retreats and bring them out again, like so many dummies at a side show, to be knocked down cgain.
 Farmer Lodge was one of them. 1 The Farmer was tossed in for the 1 sacrifice at New Orleans. It seems ten years since he last was in the fighting business though it may not be quite that long. We associate the farmer, however with the white hope" era that produced Carl Morris and finally Jess Will lard.
 Jack McAulifee II. who bobbed up at Denver as a target for the big ten-pin man from Italy. originally came from Detroit. He. lsubse- quently caused great deal of an- noyance to the original Jack. lightweight, and an undefeated champion. Jack McAuliffe II was a flashy gymnasium performer when he first arrived in New York in 1923, but it did not take long to detect that he possessed a very fragile chin. He impressed Pro- moter Tex Rickard sufficiently to be matched with Luis Angel Firpo in the semi-final of the Milk Fund show of 1923 at the Yankee Sta dium. Fred Fulton, Jess Willard, Floyd Johnson and Jack Renault were on the same card McAuliffe gave a dazzling exhibition of foot work for a round and half but started to weaken in the second round and was knocked out in the third when Firpo caught up with him.
 Securing the almost forgotten fistic lanes, Cameras scouts brought in Chuck Wiggins for one of the acts. For all one knows, they may now be hot on the trail of Charley Weinert, Al Reich and Homer Smith, the man of thou sand knockdowns.
 The Harlequin of Harlem, Slapsey Maxey Rosenbloon, comes rightfully by his name and reputation. They tell the story of one of Maxeys most recent and hardest fights, against the rough, tough Ace Hud- kins.
 Rosenbloom, it seems, was making whoopee on the night of the fight at a night club when he suddenly looked at his watch, discovered it was about 9:3O and remembered he was due at Madison Square Garden for the main event.
 Keep a spot for me. I got some work to do but I'll be back in an hour" said Maxey. He had only 9 few minutes to spare at the Garden before hopping in the ring, handing Hudkins an artistic lacing and then, without even a rub-down, dressing to hustle back to the night club
 Rosenbloom has been making im- portant money. In fact within a few recent months his own snare of earnings amounted to Sloo'ooo but, believe it or not, ne went through the whole pile and spent a day looking up his manager to put the buzz on him for S75. Max ey's manager never sees him De- tween fights, never observes the boxer in training and merely sends Rosenbloom the details as to time and place of matches when they are made.

OBJECTS ID BUSES USING NEW STATION Woman Complains Arch Street
 Line Has Extended Route

Buses on the Arch street line started last Thursday to pass the terminus at Avery's corner, so- called, and go as far as Mason Drive before turning around for the re- turn trip, despite the fact that the franchise permits them to go no far ther than Avery's according to Mrs. Martin Carlson of Is Mason Drive who turned over to Mayor Quigley today a letter she received from the public utilities commission in reply to her request that the route for which the franchise was grant, ed, be defined.
 Mrs. Carlson said the buses make considerable noise and disturb the neighborhood. besides causing groups of passengers to congresate at Mason Drive and Shuttle Meadow avenue waiting for transportation. Her home directly adjoins the-ya- cant corner lot, which is owned by Mrs. Skinner of Plainville, and she contends that she has a grievance especially in view of the fact that Averys corner, a block away, is the established terminus.
 Mayor Quigley took her complaint and the letter from the public utilities commission, turning tho en- tire matter over to the police de-. partment to handle. <

CASE HEARD
 BEFORE TRACESKI
Johnson Co. Claims $72-FSh
 Says Bill High

The early part of the small claims court session this afternoon was taken up with the case of the John son Photo Service Go. against l. Fish and resolved itself into dis cussion of whether the defendant owed the plaintiff as much money as was claimed in the action.
 The plaintiff claims that the de- fendant was indebted to the extent of $72 for pictures which he had or- dered taken of a food display The counter claim of the defendant was to the effect that he was agreeable to pay for, what pictures he used, but could see no reason why he should pay' for something that he never used or could not use.
 After a long discussion of the mat ter between the plaintiff and the defendants attorney, Cyril F. Calf ney. Judge Traceski recommended that the principals in the case settle the matter in an amicable manner.
 The case of Harry Zevin acting as the executor of the estate of the late B. Marholin against Nels J. Nelson for the sum of $50 was continued for one week. Nelson claims that the amount of the debt is misrepresent. ed as he only owes half the amount He claims that he had a receipt for $25 but lost it during a fire.
 Several other cases which came up during the session were -contin- ued for one or more weeks.

Council Will Receive
 Pocket Street Report

The problem of pocket street elimination, which has been before the public works board and city plan commission for years, will be the subject of a report by the city plan commission to the common council at the October meeting, Mayor Quigley said today during confer ence with City Engineer P. A. Merian and Alderman Walter R. Talk. Some pocket streets are so situated as to adapt themselves to extension into other streets, while others cannot be changed so readily. There are more than 100 pocket or dead-end strsets in the city.
 Alderman Falk urged that Kon- stin place at the lower end of Stan- ley street be repaired beforv the winter sets in, as the roadway is in bad condition and some residents are obliged to keep their automo- piles in garages on other streets be- cause of inability to drive in the ruts without running their machines, thA alderman said. City Engineer Merriam agreed to make temporary repairs.

OILS MAKE GOOD IN CURB SESSION
Stocks Climb Cautiously Due to
 Brokers Loan Figures

New York Oct. 5 R-Stocks climbed cautiously on the curb to- day. The favorable brokers loan figures, now at their lowest total in about three years, increased speculative confidence moderately, but only in a few instances did the shorts exhibit much eagerness to cover.
 Oils made a fairly good showing. Gulf got a few points above 100 for the first time in several days, Cosden, which has been a weak fea- ture, rallied on covering and
 Humble climbed a couple of points. Cities Service and Standard of h. diana were firm.
 Gains in the utilities held gener- ally to fractions, although some of the favorites, including Bond X Share, United Light "A" and Amer iean Gas & Electric, rose one to two points or so.
 Industrial specialties were quiet. Technicolor and Driver Harris made fair advances and there were small CT gains in Niles Bement Pond, American Cyanamid "B", Ford of Canada "A", and Swift. Fokker eased. A. o. Smith, which reports record large shipments of pipe for new natural gas lines, rose several points in it's familiarly thin market. Changes were small in the active investment trust issues. Call money renewed on the curb at 2h per cent.

WATERBURY WIFE DYING OF WOUND
Daughters Also Wounded When
 NOrnand Runs AInuCk

Waterbury. Oct. Pl-Mrs. Rose Normand, 60, of 2S5 Grand View avenue, Waterbury, is dying in the Waterbury hospital with two bullets in her head from her husbands pistol, and her daughter. Mrs. Ralph Theriault, of the same address, was seriously wounded trying to save her mother from being murdered when Napoleon Normand, 61, of Man. chester, N. H., opened fire on his wife after an argument in his step- daughters home here this morning.
 Police have broadcast the mans description and several bands of de- tectives are securing the woods near the home, believing Normand is in hiding there.
 Normand was deserted by his wife in Manchester, N. H., when she de- clared his abuse was too great to en- dure. Last week he walked into his stepdaughter's home here, and had been living here since then, contin- ually abusing his wife. The i'll feel ing eliminated this morning in an attack on his wife whom he shot at arms length. The stepdaughter was shot when she seized Normand and tried to stop the carnage.

BOND ADVANCES
 MODERATE TODAY
Institutional Demand for Invest
 Inent Securities Market Tonic

New York, Oct. P-Institu- tional demand for investment se- curities carried the best grade bonds The volume of business was some what under the previous session, ascribed in part to the appearance of several large offerings.
 The largest piece of new financing was the $2O,000,000 AZ per cent bond issue of the Shawinigan Water and Power Company Others were $10, 100000 Superpower Company of Illinois 41as and s6,000,000 Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company 4ks.
 Considerable interest was man. fested in bond circles in reports that arrangements for floating a s100,- 100000 bond issue for the Canadian government in American markets were being discussed. While there was a disposition in financial circles to attach credence to the report, no confirmation was forthcoming. Such financing would be the largest for eign loan sought this year ir- the American market, being slightly larger than the s9S,500,O00 German 5 1-2 per cent international loan. Foreign financing in the United States so far this year is far in ex- cess of 1929 when high interest rates discouraged such loans.
 Despite the irregularity that has developed this week in the market, the necessity faced by savings banks and other institutions of investing large funds has maintained the strong trend of legals and those rated slightly below. Atchison As, Baltimore and Ohio 5s, Pennsyl- vania 5s, Chesapeake and Ohio 4 1-2s, American Telephone 5s, Con- solidated Gas 1-2s, Columbia Gas and Electric 5s and Pacific Gas and electric 5s were among the issues that advanced. California Gas and Electric 5s, Philadelphia Electric 4 1-2s, and North American Edison 5s were particularly buoyant.
 The stock privilege list was active and irregular. Changes were princi- pally fractional. International Tele- phone 1-2's, Philadelphia Reading Coal and Iron 6's, and Warner Brothers 6's reflected some buying. The foreign group remained spot ty but the best loans ruled firm. Lautaro Nitrate 6's, warrant bond. broke to new years low on the movement. The company has exten- sive interests in South American countries, disturbed by changes in government. Recognition of the present Bolivian government was reflected in the firming of Bolivian governments. German and Italian issues were we'll bought.
 U. S. governments were firm.
