stock market to new low levels on the

there was no change In the character
of the trading. It was just q duii. spirit

to the news.
In the last hour the motors were
under pressure on the theory that they
had enjoyed the best business of the
year and that hereafter there would be
q falling of In motor car demand
General Motors and Chrysler weakened
and Auburn at one time was down
nearly 10 points. The rails. were heavy
all day. New Haven was added to the
list of carrier stocks selling ut new lows
for the bear market, as it broke through
SO Just before the close.
Notwithstanding this general display
Of weakness, there was enough short
covering in United States Steel, J. I.

those stocks relatively steady; cclurn-
bian Carbon attracted attention by its
strength, while other stocks were weak

Directors of Bucyrus Erie omitted the

it did not bring out any important

discussion continued, with the best-in-
formed opinion on the side that the

meeting on August 10, sold on at the
start, but then came back.
For q time there was an appearance
Of weakness In the food stocks. National

CLOSER CHECK ON COST
OF BUILDING IS URGED

BY the Associated Press.
The American Institute Of Archi-
tects urges closer cooperation between
money-lending agencies and the vari-
Gus elements OF the construction indus
try as . measure Of protection TO the
building public.
Pointing out that home owners have
suffered severe financial losses on their
investments as result Of haphazard
planning and shoddy construction. the
institute suggests the high standard
of bank building construction should
govern the quality of the Nations small
homes.
whether the investment be In 9
single home or in bonds secured by
real estate mortgages. taxes, mainte-
nance and repairs alone have not only
cancelled dividends, but the decrease
in building costs has lowered the true
value TO o point where there Is slight
chance for o comeback the institute
says. 1.-THE comparatively few invest
ments which have come through the
storm are those secured by buildings
Of good design, high-quality materials
and good construction"
Banks, trust companies and other
lending institutions to which the build
ing industry has had to look for
finances are said to be learning that
the mere cost Of building Is not @
true measure Of It's value. During the
building boom which preceded the de-
preston loans q. said to have been
made upon the basis Of the con-
tractors bid, with the result that In
many cases mounting costs of con-
struction were combated through the
medium Of substituting inferior, short
lived materials.
The institute lauds building con-
presses which are now being formed
throughout the country as 2 means OF
bringing together all branches of the
building trades.

Ref . to Be Sought
Wilson Is Denounced

RU UHtted Press
CHICAGO. Sept. 26.-Prominent
dictionaries were unanimous today
in their denials of the assertions
of DR.. Clarence True Wilson that
staggering DRINKS, yelling for
beer" disgraced the American
Legion convention at Detroit this
week. They commented as follows:
Howard P. Savage, Past National
COMMANDMENTS Wilson has abso-
lutely no conception of the ideals
and purposes of the legion and he
is talking about something of which
he is utterly ignorant when ne
comments on members of the legion
and their deeds.
Ivan A. Elliott, Commander Illi-
nois Department of the Legion
When DR.. Wilson says that there
was a marked absence of the sober,
we'll behaved, typical American" at
the Detroit convention, he is posi-
lively insulting and disgusting to
the 100000 gentlemanly, sober, we'll
behaved, typical Americans who
actually attended the convention.
Major General Milton j. Fore
mani don't know where DR.. Will
son could have obtained his infor-
nation. He either was misinformed
or he careleSsly has uttered SLAM
der on men who deserve better. Such
Islander is typical of a radical dry
and he has hurt only his own cause
bv saving such things.
Former United States Senator
James A. Reed-Dr. Wilson prob
ably is the only fanatic in the
United States who would go so far
as to utter the wholesale Islander
against the men who stood on the
battlefieIds of France and defended
the honor of the United States.

PLOT TARGET

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, Sept. 26. - Reports

a plot by Terry Drugan and other
gang leaders to accuse United States
District Attorney George E. @.
johnson of in some way accepting
bride were made today after John
son himself was questioned by Of
ficials from Washington.
Druggan, Frank Lake, AL Capone
and Jack Guzik, all of whom have
been charged by Johnson with in
come tax evaSions, were named as
being involved in the sensational
plot, although it was said Capone
refused to become directly involved
because he did not want to give out
the impression he was "squealer.
The reported plot was said to
have been resorted to as desperate
move to destroy Johnson's character
and obstruct further prosecution of
the gang leaders on tax charges.
According to reports, there was an
deliberately laid plan to make it ap-
pear that Druggan had paid $4,000
to some government official and
that, as the climax of the plot.
Druggan himself would take the
witness stand and swear he had
paid that amount directly to John
son for immunity from punishment.

China and Japan Remain
Far Apart on Move to
End Conflict.
BY HENRY WOOD
United Press staff Correspondent

GENEVA, Sept. 26.-China'S ap-
peal to the League of Nations coun-
Gil to intervene in Manchuria, due
to threats of war, remained unan-
swered today as the council adj
journed to allow private discussions
of the Manchurian situation.
Lord Cecil of England said the
council had fulfilled its duties I'M
der Article XII of the league cove
nant, by which the league may be
asked to intervene to prevent ''war
or the threat of war" between
league members.
He agreed with Kenkichi Yoshi-
zawa, head of the japanese delega-
ton, that the duty of settling the
dispute rested with China and
Japan.
Diplomatic circles regarded the
leagues efforts so far as distinctly
favorable to Japan. If it is i'm
possible for Japan and China to
settle their difficulties, however,
China may appeal to the league UNI
der Article XIV of the covenant, by
which league members may submit
for settlement disputes not settled
by arbitration or judicial means.
Alexandra Lerroux, Spanish foreign
minister and president of the
council, appealed to Japan to with
draw her troops within the south
Manchurian railway zone as rapily
as possible.
DR.. Alfredo SEE, head of the
Chinese delegation, in an impas-
stoned speech, told the council that
in view of the Japanese military in
vaSion of Chinese territory direct
negotiations are absolutely impoS-
sible."
SEE was visibly moved. China, he
said, had not resisted the Japanese
invasion and had hoped to avoid
conflict by placing her trust in the
league.
1t was obvious that neither China
nor Japan would retreat from its
positions. Japan continued for
settling the dispute by direct nego-
tiations, while China sought advan-
tage of her membership in the
league council, achieved after three
years for the primary purpose of
using membership to settle disputes
with Japan.
