NEW YORK, June 5.-The fluctua-
tons. of security quotations en- the
New York Stock Exchange no longer
forecast the trend of business. The
recent drastic decline in security prices
and tie weakness at the moment are
no indication that business this Fall
is to be slack or unsatisfactory. On
the contrary, indications that wide
upturn in bushes may be anticipated
are multiplying daily. These are the
contentious of Gage P. Wright, presi-
dent of the Bushes Economic Digest,
who believes that the stock market,
temporarily ct least, has lost the major
part of its forecast value because OF
conditions within the market itself.
He points to the records OF the last
few months to support his contention
that security prices now tend to move
with the course of business, II not,
indeed, to lag behind it.

BARON
WILL ALTER
GUILT PLEA
Full Inquiry Of Case
Will Be Made BY
Grand Jury

CHICAGO, July si-tP)-"Scar-
face Al" Capone was granted leave
to withdraw his plea OF ruilty to
indictments for violation or the in
come tax laws in an unexpected
morning court session today.
Federal Judge James III. Wilker-
son set the case for trial late in
September, announced he would
reserve decision on the gangster's
motion to withdraw his guilty plea
on the indictment for conspiring
against the prohibition law.
The court gave its decision short
~ after 10 a. m, having summoned
attorneys at the last minute ap-
parently desiring to avoid the tur-
mol OF crowds that attended yes
terday'S session.
Capone Not Present
Only Michael Ahern was present
to represent the gang chief. and
ne took no part In the proceedings.
Judge WilkerSon gave a brief state
ment OF his decision, docketed the
case for hearing Sept. 8 and adj
Journcd court. Capone was not pres
ent. U. S. Dist. Att. George <. O.
johnson said ne expected d trial
date would be set Sept 8 for late IN
that month.
In a brief statement In open court
the judge said he believed the speci-
fic accusations made by the grand
jury required q more serious charge
than that contained in the liquor
conspiracy Indictment and he sum-
moned the grand jury before him
and directed that the evidence be
presented anew before 1t.
Relative TO the agreement between
government and defense counsel
that the prosecution would make
certain recommendations, asserted
by the defense TO mean a lenient
penalty, Judge WilkerSon observed.
mo Further Comment
"As the cases are to be tried. the
interests Of Justice require that
there be no further comment on the
proposed recommendations e ar
rangemelt that was attempted with
reference to It,"
In ~reServing a ruling on the de-
sire Of Capone to stand trial on the
prohibition count, Judge Wilkerson
said:
The matters covered by that in
dictment should be presented TO an
other grand jury.
In the enumeration OF overt
acts the defendant and others are
charged with substantial offenses
within the period of the statute OF
limitations for which a heavier
penalty Is provided than that posi-
BILE under the conspiracy indict-
ment.
THE court will not believe UNI
less forced TO do 50 that the lam
guage OF this indictment was chosen
without probable cause, merely for
the purpose or creating the i'm
preston that this defendant has
been a fragrant ~lawbreaker over a
long period OF time.
This matter must be inquired IN
to fully"
