Cooper had great day with the
new heavy ball. He started out in
great fashion, turning the first in SO,
three under par, thanks to brides on

The first two Of these were the result

CHANGE IS SEEN
IN MARKET
TREND
Stocks Move Lower, With One
Exception, in Six Trading
Sessions ConsecutiVeIy
BY THE SPECTATOR

NEW YORK, March 28.-From
all outward indications, the com.
plexion of the market has under.
gone a rather important change,
judging from the trend of prices
since the outset of the week.
In the past six trading sessions,
stocks have moved lower with
but one exception, while the total
decline in this period has proven
of sufficient proportions to carry
the Dow-Jones industrial averages
from upper limits of the 1919
trading range reached on March
20, definitely through the re.
sistance bottoms to closing level
of 1870, the current standing
of the market.
Outlook Dismal
Thus, for the first time since
this trading area has held sway
beginning on February "a, the
list has fallen below the critical
point without being able to re-
cover its bearings Immediately.
The implications Of this develop.
ment are not pleasant to con-
template, but unless the market
can stage vigorous turnaoout in
today's abbreviated session, the
near term outlook for prices is
not particularly encouraging
The action of the pivotal stock
leaders yesterday was one of dis.
heartening features to interests
committed to higher prices, since
it was hoped that with the worst
Of the dividend cuts out of the
way, the path was paved for o
substantial rebound.
The failure of any upturn to
materialize lends color to the be.
lief previously expressed that the
news Of dividend curtailmentS
was an excuse rather than the
reason for the selling earlier in
the week.
See Bond Upturn
However, decline at this
stage is not without precedent,
for back in 1921, it is pertinent
to note that the stock market
made its final low in August.
four months after trade improve
ment had been under way.
A prominent bond house points
out that, in view of the heavy
advertising which the current de-
preston has received, to the ef-
feet that it is the most severe in
generation, it is will to bear in
mind that total corporate profits
in 1880 probably amounted to
some $4,000, 100000, as against an
actual deficit in 1921. Last years
profits were actually equal to
those of the boom year OF 1920.
In the opinion of this firm, q
strong bond market is looked for
that will last for a solid year and
in which it is entirely logical to
expect high-grade rail bonds will
eventually sell on yield basis Of
less than 4 per cent.

HOLD MAN IN
FIREBUC CASE
Suspect Accused of Setting
Blaze in Vacant House.

Capture of an alleged firebug, ac-
cused of having applied match to
trash in the closet of vacant
house at 655 South Delaware street
this morning caused police to believe
string of incendiary blazes will
be solved as the result.
From letters and other papers in
his pocket, the mans identity was
established as William New, 81, who,
with his son John, 80, rooms at 934
South Delaware street.
New told detectives he came to
indianapolis two years ago from
Kentucky where, he said, he had
been in an insane institution for
ten years.
William Wallace, 81, of TOT South
Delaware street, heard coming from
the upstairs of the house next door
the sound of breaking boards.
Investigating, he ran up the
stairs, he told police, and came
upon New, stopped over head OF
trash to which he evidently had
just applied match.
Wallace attempted to stamp out
the blaze as New dashed past him
down the stairs and into the street.
Seeing the flames had too much
Roadway to be smothered out, WAL
lace raced out after him, and called
to his son, Lewis Wallace, 80, who
joined the chase.
Overtaken a block away, New
made a gesture toward pulling a
knife from his pocket, but was
Subdued.

BEAUTY DIES
IN CLIFF FALL
400-Foot Auto Plunge of
Former ZiegfeId Girl Is
Accident Say Cops.
By United Press

By United Press
EzE, France, March 3O.-Police
Of Eze today described the death
Of Mrs. Mary Townsend, whose
automobile plunged over a 40O-foot
precipice near here Saturday night,
as an accident.
The conclusion was reached
DESPITE disconnected letter left
by Mrs. Townsend in which she be-
queathed 1000 francs (about $500
to the nurse of her 5-year-old
daughter.
It was confirmed at the inquest
that Mrs. Townsend, who was known
as Peggy Davis on the New York
stage, formerly was Mary Margaret
Laird of Birmingham, Ala. She
was Is years old.
Her husband, David Townsend, is
native of Sydney, Australia.
Former Ziegfeld Beauty
The coroner at the inquest con-
cluded that death was due to the
fall over the cliff and was instan-
taneouS. He said there was no proof
she was neuresthenic or had been
treated for nervous trouble, al
though recently she had been
moody.
The body of Mrs. Townsend, who
was known as Peggy Davis when
she appeared in the Ziegfeld FolIies
OF 1923, was found crushed and bro
ken in the deep ravine near the
estate Of Colonel Jack Balsan, hus-
band of ConSuelo Vanderbilt.
A note was clutched in her life
less hand. It said:
I don't want to go back to the
stage. I am tired of living and pre-
fer to die. Look after my baby"
The note was addressed to her
husband.
Considered one of the most beau
tiful women on the Riviera, Mrs.
Townsend mixed with the smartest
American society circles.
Drinks, Speeds to Death
She often went the rounds of
cocktail parties without her hus-
band.
At 10 p. m. Saturday she entered
a restaurant on the steep and widen
ing coast road at Nice. She sat at
table on balcony and ordered a
glass Of cognac, a waiter at the
restaurant said. She swallowed the
drink in a single gulp and sat
staring out at the Mediterranean.
After while she ordered another
drink and then told the waiter to
bring her paper and pen.
She swallowed the liquor and then
wrote quickly, rose and handed the
waiter fifty francs, saying, keep the
change"
Outside she jumped into her au-
tomobile and sped away. She was
not seen alive again, so far as Off
Gals could determine.
Townsend and their daughter
who is 5, were at their handsome
residence of Cap Ferrat.
