The stock market turned down

after declaration of a Sc Union

than the price of the stock Sug-
gested. N. Y. Central continued

Other New Lows
Union Pacific lost more than a
point after declaration of the divi-
dend. AtchiSon was weak. break
ing to a new low since 1900, and
fresh lows were made by Balti-
more and Ohio and Southern Pa.
cific.
Scattered selling came into the
rest of the market as a result Of
the action of the rails, and lead
ing issues like U. S. Steel, Ameri-
can Telephone, Allied Chemical
and American Can showed size
able los5e.. Weakness in its pre-.
ferred was a contributing factor
to the heavy tone of Steel COM
mon.
Oils gave ground with the rest
Of the market but showed a firm
nndertone with the exception of
Standard Oil of New Jersey,
which gave indications of re-
newed liquidation.
Bank Rate Dip Ignored
The reduction in the Bank of
England discount rate to 21a per
cent was ignored. The belief was
that this might bring the long.

after the close, but this also had
little influence on the market.
Johns Manville was reactionary
On a sharp break in its preferred.
General Motors slipped under Sill
n share. Eastman Kodak was
Steadied by declaration Of the

BRIDGES GIVEN
PROBATION IN
ROBBERY CASE

d. E. Bridges, who pleaded guilty
to second degree robbery after his
arrest in connection with the rob-
berry of Mrs. Bridges and three
men companions two weeks ago,
today was placed on probation for
a period of three years and
granted the privilege of transfer
ring the case to the jurisdiction Of
Merced county In order that he
might be placed under the super
vision of his father and Merced
probation officers.

grant probation to Bridges because
he did not use gun in the rob-
berry of his wife and her COM
panions. Buck Horton and Clay
Crawford, now serving terms in
prison, used revolvers, and SO were
not eligible for probation.
Jose Lemus was another whose
application for probation was
heard this morning. A charge of
assault with a deadly weapon, to
which he had pleaded guilty, was
reduced to simple assault and he
was sentenced to 60 days in the
county Jail.
j. A. Fisher, who pleaded guilty
to reckless driving when that
charge was filed after one of driv-
ing while drunk had been dis
missed, was granted probation for
one year and sentenced to 80 days
in Jail. The Jail sentence was sus-
pended.
A check charge against Dulia
Mohammed was dismissed for lack
of evidence to prosecute.

. Public Insolence

Recent events in New York give special point to new book. written by two New York attorneys, entitled, "The. Insolence of Office" The authors seem to resent the scorns that patient merit of the unworthy takes as much as Hamlet did in Denmark.
 Whence. then. is this insolence of office? they ask, after commenting at length on metropolitan corruption and vice and the arrogance of office holders in places of power Tt was the same in the days of the Greek city states; it was the same m Rome; it was the same in the days of the Kaisers in Germany, and was instrumental in hastening the outbreak of the World War. It is the same now in our own federal, state and municipal governments.
 The thing itself may be defined as the attitude which those in power, who feel they cannot be touched, have toward help less and machine-eontrolled public. Well what are you going to do about 1t!
 This is not good year for such an attitude The public is loss patient. Office. m the real sense of the word. means service. not mastery. This is one of the times when office holders who serve themselves rather than the public which employs them are likely to meet with an unpleasant surprise.

Castles In Spain

Now Spain is going to adopt national plan, after the fashion of the famous Rus sian plan, but intended for ten years. Five years it is realized. is too short for such an ambitious undertaking. There is curious contrast here. Russia is a young nation, eagerly laying the groundwork for its ma ture life. Spain is an old nation, generally regarded as deeadent, plotting a new youth The youthfuness of the movement IS the most remarkable thing about it.
 The mapping of this ambitious plan IS entrusted to Is men ranging from 25 to 3Z years of age. They include lawyers. pro- fessors engineers and business men. Hardly any of them would be called politicians. or have borne any important part in public life. They were selected less because of their experience and special competence than because they were considered good represen- tatives of the young. vigorous. aggressive generation" in whose hands the future lies. That generation will be invited to make its own future.
 Here is such opportunity as youth has been dreaming. The world will be interested in seeing what use is made of it.

Sanitation

One of the bright spots in the New York municipal government is the Department of Sanitation headed by Dr William Shroe- der, Jr There has been good deal of merriment over the announcement that his department had turned literary and was going to get out magazine But the boss doesn't mind. "Kdding's all right with me-" he says. T can take it. He IS merely worried about his editor. who being a former newspaper man. is sensitive. The editor should buck up and stand proudly beside his chief, indifferent to ridcule. What. we may ask, is more important to any city than sanitation? What is deeenter. heater. cleaner, sWeeter,
 One of the greatest statesmen in history was elected by his political enemies as pub lie scavenger." of Athens. It was meant as an insult But did that get his goat? It didn't, He promptly turned to and did such good job of garbage collection that the people put him in charge of the whole administration and kept him in power for years Fred C.
