HAGUE CONFERENCE
 AWAITS DECISIONS
German Cabinet Action NeCeS-
 Sary to Continue Work

The Hague. Jan. s P-Thc second Hague conference on rcpara- tions marked time today while the German cabinet pondered on de- cisions which the Reich delegation here did not care to make.
 The decisions were those on whether Germany should agree to it's monthly reparation payments becoming due on the fifteenth of the month instead of the last day of the month, details of an cventful moratorium, and whether railroad and other revenues shall be pledged positively to guarantee the repara- ton annuitics.
 The work of the conference in it's principal phases came to an abrupt standstill yesterday when the German delegates, headed by Dr. Julius Curtius. refused to face these questions without positive full approval of Berlin. This attitude followed a request to Dr. Hjalmar Schacht, president of the Reichs- bank, to come to the Hague and confer with them; Dr. Schacht sent back word he would not reach here until January 12. Frequently re- gently he has been at odds with members of the Reich government.

 Rankin performed the feat yes tcrday, bettering by six the record set at the Cleveland air races last year.
 The outside loop. which until re- gently was considered almost inn possible, is made with the pilot on the outside of the circle which the plane follows.
 Rankin said the centrifugal pres sure was strong at the bottom of the dive. but believed he could have made 50 such loops, had not one spark plug on his motor fouled.

 Due for Hearing Today

Judge Newell S. Jennings of the superior court will be asked this
 afternoon to overrule the decision Of the board of adjustment in which the board allowed Charles
 r. Andrews to open a store on Stanley street. The case has been
 before the public for some time having been brought to the atten- ton of the board several weeks ago

 ly across the street from the store, IS the plaintiff.
 Attorney Monroe Gordon. acting for property owners in Belvidere, announced in superior court this afternoon that as soon as the pres- ent suit is disposed of two more actions would be introduced against Andrews.
 In the first, he will seek 10 force Andrews to remove an addition to
 his store which it is claimed he built without securing a permit. He
 was prosecuted for this in the New Britain court.
 The second will seek to force Andrews to convert three family
 house into a two-family dwelling on the claim that Andrews erected

.Lightest Trading in More Than
 Yar-Price Range Narrow

New York, Jan. s Lf) - Price movements in curb market stocks were narrow and for the most part inconsequential today. Trading dur ing the morning was at the lowest ebb experienced in more than a year, the tape moving in slow and halting manner. Stocks generally sagged a little during the first hour, but rallied toward midday, and a few shares recorded note worthy net gains.
 News Favorable
 News coming to hand regarding curb stocks was fairly favorable. in cluding a few pleasing dividend and sales reports, but failed to shake the market out of its lethargy. A fur ther retirement of Shenandoah and Blue Ridge preferred stocks, increas- ing the assets behind the common stock, was announced. J. C. Penney Co. declared a s2.5O dividend for 1929, and announced a s rate for 1880. A plan to merge Allied Power into Commonwealth and Southern was disclosed
 Allied Power sold off about point, evidently in profit taking on the theory that the, news was out, but it later rallied. American & For eign Power Warrants mounted couple of points. and United Light and Power A was in good demand. ! and Share moved in narrow ranges.
 Franklin manufacturing common dropped more than 5 points to below Is. evidently in belated response to the passing of the dividend, but 1t quickly regained it's loss. The pre-
 Industrials Popular
 In the investment trusts, selected industries was in fair demand. ris- ing fractionally to above s. Shen- endoah common encountered selling on the good news of the preferred stock retirement. Trans-America showed little response to the favor- able annual report.
 Oils were not influenced by the less favorable production figures for last week. Gulf and Standard or Kentucky sold moderately higher. In the mine stock folding compa. nies, Newmont and Maytiower asso- ciates sagged few points.
 Industrials were generally slug gish, although General Theater Equipment was bid up more than , points.

 Before Convention

 Weber Optimistic
 While admitting that the meChan- i cal music presented a serious prob cm to his organization. Mir. Weber was optimistic for the future of musicians.
 Although machine made music SO far has made a great inroad on or ,anized musicians throughout the
 ountry," he said. "I think it has about reached it's saturation point. Already people are yoiCing their de- sire for a return of orchestras to the heaters.
 'They want the music that is pos fible only through human talent that they can see and hear.'
 The executive council, composed bf President William Green, seCre- ary Frank Morrison, Treasurer Martin F. Ryan and eight vice prcsi- icnts. also is expected to discuss world peace, child labor, injunctions and unemployment problems.

MURDER CLOSES
 EXTORT|ON CASE
Star Witness and Complainant
 Shot in Chicago Office

Chicago, Jan. LP(-The state to-
 day indicated that the bullet that killed Jean B. Hassewer last night had automatically nolle pressed the case against five men, charged with eXtortion.
 Hassewer, 55 year old cabinet manufacturer, was the principal witness against Police Sergeant Will liam Begley and four other men whom he charged defrauded him and then extorted money from him. As part of the investigation into his death. police were questioning Beg ley today.
 Found in Stairway The body of the manufacturer was found at the foot of q stairway leading from his office to the base nent. The bullet had entered the top of his head. apparently fired by a person on the landing above. He may have been approached by his assailant in the office and been sho. as he sought escape down the stairs, police suggested.
 Pat Roche, chief investigator for the states attorney. believed Hasse- Wer had accepted bribes not to tcs- tify in the cXtortion case and then, after getting the bribe money, had decided to press the prosecution. Hassewcr's insistcnce that the five men be prosecuted, Roche said, is the only apparent motive for the crime.
 Begley, who is under suspension from the police department pending the outcome of the extortion prose- cution, offered an alibi covering yes terday afternoon and early evening.
 The charges on which Begley and the others were arrested were based on the alleged sale to Hasscwcr of money making machine" When the machine turned out nothing but . wet pulp, Hasseper wanted to com plain to police, but was told that the government had found out about the money making machine and that he would be prosecuted unless
 he paid another sum of money to a police officer who could fix the : case. Hassewer notified police and the police officer who walked into the set trap was Sergeant Begley.
 Case Already Continued
 Six hours before the Hassewcr staying yesterday, attorneys for Beg Icy and the others obtained con- tlnuancc of their case until Fcbru- ary 24 Roche said today that with
 HasseWcr dead, the state would be unable to prosecute.
 Roche was told that threats had been made recently to EasseWer by Howard Ward, enc Of the defend ants. Ward, at liberty under bond had not been found early today.
