NEW YORK, June 18.-The sn- creasing summer quiet in industry again lulled the stock market to sleep today.
 Shares drifted lower.
 The decline reflected lack of buying interest rather than exten- sive selling.
 Trading was slow.
 American Telephone and Tele- graph Company, Case, Eastman, Industrial Alcohol, Johns -Manville, Southern Pacific and Rock Island were off two to three points.
 Youngstown Sheet Metal was off more than four points.
 Most of the losses ranged from fractions to one point.
 American T. and T. Co, met periodic support.
 Rail shares were steadier as ef- fleets of the gloomy picture pre- sented in the rate petition to the Interstate Commerce Commission wore off. Wall Street is inclined to the belief that some relief will be granted the railroads.

 It is reported the near-tragedy was because of alleged attentions paid Mrs. Vanderbilt, Jr., by Arno.
 That trouble really existed be- tween the two men was confirmed by Chief of Police Kirkley who told the newspapefmen Arno had asked protection from Vanderbilt. saying the latter threatened bodily harm" Arno did not mention. however, that Vanderbilt meant to shoot him.

 When this coach approaches the observer head-on it looks much like a gigantic metal worm slithering toward him with menace in its oddly slanting eyes. The "eyes' really are streamlined windows through which the headlights peer, while the pilot sits behind a wide, slanting window higher up.
 Seen directly from the rear. on the other hand, the coach resem- bles a ship upside down, with a huge four -bladed propeller waving idly in the air.
 With fleet of several hundred such propeller coaches, the German national railways could, according to the inventor and builder of the flying railway" Franz Kurcken- berg, meet the speed competition of air lines.
