Weeks Market Sees
 Slight Improvement
Ray of Sunshine Noted for First Time in Many Weeks
 Due to Buying Movement

called that a like condition existed during most similar periods of the past.
 The pick up in values this week after so many days of continuous decline has, it is needless to Say, brought with it ray of sunshine which has been absent for long time. Perhaps the most discourag- ing feature has been the attitude of investors who have thrown good stocks on the market instead of add ing to their holdings. This only gees to show the state of the public mind which has become depressed by the constant shrinkage in the best kind of stocks which has been going on month after month. Cn- der such circumstances it is idle to say whether the turning point has at asst been reached-certainly the prices of all shares on the list have heen marked down so drastically they ought to be great bargains and as time goes on this will be fully demonstrated. The action of the Rock Island directors in declaring dividends on it's three classes of stock may be accepted as an indica- ticn that the managers of the trans portation lines are looking forward to improvement in business chan nels, which in turn will be reflected in increased earnings for the rail- roads. For those who can afford to purchase with the idea of holding for future recovery, the present af- lords an opportunity that may not occur again, r.. -s

Hanson Writes For
 School Publication
Discusses "Insprafona Teaching" in May Issue of
 A "School Science" Y

In the. May issue of School Science
 and Mathematics Frank w. Hanson
 of the Wilby high school faculty has a page article on "Inspirational
 Teaching" School Science and
 Mathematics" is g. publication for all science and mathematics teachers and has regular use in courses for teachers in all the large teacher training institutions.
 In view of the fact that the arti- cles on science, and chemistry, to- gether will allied subjects, come from the pens of college professors as well as distinguished scientists it is rather an honor for a high school teacher to be asked to contribute to a magazine of such caliber. MT Han- son as head of the science depart
 ment of the local commercial school has much to do with the
 methods employed in teaching sub-
 jects with scientific connections.
 During the past several years the
 Wilby Chemistry club, organized by
 MT Hanson, has flourished with sur- prising success and the work done
 by the club outside of the regular classroom activities has elicited much
 favorable comment among the teach ing profession. To quote the letter of request asking MT Hanson to con- tribute to the journal, "The New England Association of Chemistry Teachers recommends your work in science teaching" goes to show the esteem felt for the Wilby teacher throughout the association of which practically every science teacher in New England is a member.

was voted in March and kept secret, charged that Capone owed the gov- ernment $215,0S0.4S on a total in- come of $1,03S.654.s4 during the years 1924 to 1929. inclusive.
 No pretense was made that this was Capone's total income for those years. It represented instead the amounts which Johnson and his staff said they knew they could prove he had earned. The gangster never has paid any income tax. Locating his wealth was work of years, officials said, because he dealt al- ways in cash and kept no bank &C., counts.
 The voluminous indictments did not specify that any of the income designated had been derived from the extensive liquor or vice syndi- cates Capone is said to have con- trolled and from which it was said he made millions annually.
 It revealed after Capone's surren- der that much of the income speci- fled represented money sent to him from Chicago when he was living at his estate in Florida.
 Other evidence was gathered, Johnson revealed, by questioning of other gangsters who "squealed" on their "big boss'' in order to save themselves. Some of these gangsters were members of Capone's inner circle" the Cabinet" of lieutenants who were said to have ruled the gang world.
 Capone was reported hiding in Chicago, pending outcome of his att torney's negotiations.
 Is-k. otH Cf nri0 pone as "Alphonse Capone. alias AL phonse Brown, alias Al Capone. alias Al Brown. alias "Scarface" Brown alias "Scarface" Capone, alias A. Costa" the last a new name for the gang leader.
 Counts one to four charge that Capone made gross income of $257,286.98 in 1925 from his triple rackets and that he owes for that year taxes of $55,365.25.
 Counts five to eight deal with 1926 when his income was set at $195,677 with tax due of $39,962.75.
 Counts nine to 12 charge Capone made $218.O57.O4 in 1927 with tax due of $45,557.76.
 Counts 13 to IT. set the income at $14o.536.s3 with a tax due of $26.- 887.72.
 Counts IS to 22 set his income for 1929 at $104,000 with a tax of $15,- 817.76.
 One suppressed indictment re- turned March 13, 1881 but not re- vealed until to-day, set Capone's in come in 1924 at $123,101.S9 with a tax of $32,489.S9.
 Al Is among the last of the "big shot" gangsters the government hopes to put behind bars from now until after the 1898 worlds fair. Ralph, his brother. was convicted and sentenced to three years: Frank Nitti, Ars cousin, pleaded gully and was sentenced to IS months; Jack Guzik. Capone's right hand man, was convicted and sentenced to five years; Sam Guzik. brother of Jack was convicted and sentenced to one year; and Louis Lipschuetez, broth er.in-law of Jack Guzik. was con- victed and sentenced 10 one year Frankie Lake and Terry Druggan predecessors of Capone In tho beer racket. have pleaded guilty tentative. ly.

vention with strong sentiment cre- ated in advance for owen D. Young.
 It is understood, though. that the present forces heading the state democratic organization are not any too friendly towards the Young boom and favor either Roosevelt or Ritchie.
 With the chances. therefore. of a Young boom being attempted by the "old guard" much interest will be centered around the coming selec- ton of a new state chairman, to i'll the vacancy caused by the resigna- ton of Judge. P. G. O'Sullivan. It is generally admitted that whatever forces have control of the state cen- tral committee will have the best chances of directing the choice of the national delegates and also the election of Connecticuts national committeeman and woman.
 The term of National Committee man Archibald McNeil expires next spring. So does that of National Committeewoman Lillian s. Abbott of Norwalk. Efforts will be made to re-elect MT McNeil and retire Mrs Abbott in favor. possibly. of Mrs Fannie Dixon Welch of Columbia. The latter was formerly national com but was dropped by the "old guard" in favor of Mrs Abbott.
 Town Chairman John II. Crary. when interviewed concerning senti- meth towards the various presiden- tial candidates mentioned, stated that as far as he knows at the pres ent time the feeling is in favor of either Roosevelt or Ritchie here.

New York, June 6.-The market this week has again been called uron to absorb considerable liquida- ton. Strange to say, this has em- anated very largely from investors who were not called upon to make sacrifices but who apparently had been influenced to such an extent by the bad behavior of the market that it had at last got on their nerves. That this selling movement should be finally replaced by one of buying is not to be wondered at consider ing that prices have been forced down to such low figures, the reason for this being the appearance of inn pcrtant constructive news: the first being the announcement that the government would not further op- pose the merging of the Vacuum Oil company with the Standard Oil com- pany of New York, which will now Tot only permit of this merger talk ing place but also pave tho way for other similar consultations hereto fore planned. Added to this was the decision of the public service commission of this state relative to rates to be charged by the New York Edison company, and an additional OIe granting peTnlSSlOn 10 a trolley line in Westchester county to- in crease its fare from cents to 10 cents and to substitute busses for cars. While these items are import ant in themselves, the announce ments at this time were construed as an indication that government authorities are doing everything pos sible to bring about return of con- fidence on the part of the public and business generally. So far as trade conditions are concerned they have iE not few directions continued to reflect the influence of increasing de- nand. Those who have lately visit ed the producing regions, both agri- cultural and manufacturing, are dis posed to take an encouraging view of the outlook-as a matter of fact, as heretofore notified in these ad- vices, the market and current busi- ness trends have not been running parallel and possibly more time will be required to bring about full har- rlony between them. It is to be re-

City Escapes
 Wrath Of Storm
Houses in Nearby Towns Struck By Lightning During
 Severe DOWnpOur

In Cheshire, on the Summit road, lightning struck a tree on the Fogg farm. Both in Cheshire and Pros- pect the rain fall was terrific and many washouts occurred. To the north the storm did much damage, reports coming in from as far as Norfolk.
 The storm for a time threatened to become worse over this city but suddenly it swung about. Only a short rainfall was experienced here and the lightning was not consid- cred sharp.
 Waterbury benefited by the storm for the mercury, which was high in the thermometers, dropped consid- erably and last night YVES cool and comfortable. Today was cool, also, as a result of the storm.

fully against various units of the power industry in the last election.
 The pull of the presidential of- flee is so terrific that no matter how sure the nomination is for 8 leading candidate, large number will swim in anyway. For in- stance at the Houston convention. though the nomination of Smith was absolutely certain before the ballot ing began, a dozen other names were placed before the convention, so that a large field of aspirants is inevitable at the next democratic convention. The fact that demo- crats feel they have the best chance since 1916 to reach the White House only adds to the vigor of the race, and the volume of favorite sons who will enter.

Waterbury escaped the serious part of the wind, rain and electrical storm which visited this vicinity early last evening. Although towns all around Waterbury were badly hit by the storm, this city was fortunate, no places being struck by the light ming and the public utility com- panies reporting no damage locally.
 Cheshire and Prospect felt the storm very badly. In Prospect the home of Miss Edna Blackman was struck. Miss Blackman was alone in the house at the time but escaped injury, although the house was bad ly damaged. In the same town the wind tore down many fruit trees on the Treat Hotchkiss farm. On the Cowdell farm the lightning played havoc for a while and the wind up- rooted many trees.
