Trading In Market To-day Became Very

When Leading Issues Showed Signs of Firing Others Were Rushed Forward-But There Was No Pace Like Yesterday

road and utility-showed signs or firing, other groups were brought forward. Copper shares were in de- mand most of the day. In the late morning the motors, motor equip ments and rubbers held sway. Then for a time, the oils were carried up in active trading.
 Numerous issues received atten- ton in isolated groups. Corn pro- ducts was strong in the foods and New York Central in the rails. American Woolen/ rose to new high in tha textiles as wool top fix lures continued to soar on the cot ton exchange. National Cash Regis ter A jumped nearl points.
 Chrysler led the automobile group; Goodyear the rubbers; American Smelling and Anaconda the coppers. Utilities were gener- ally down fractionally and so were most of the rails. Such issues as Steel Common. Westinghouse and Allied Chemical eased off small amounts.
 The bond market met some pro- fit-taking that brought irregularity. Declines, where they occurred, were relatively small, however. U. s. government loans advanced.
 Cotton futures dropped more than $2 bale in the early trading. and later recovered about half the loss in one of the mosta ctive ses- sions in several years.
 Wheat slipped back fractionally. Rubber futures lost 13 to 22 points in the early trading but later re- covered and rose to new highs for the year. Activity continued in Cocoa where futures were carried to new 1892 highs. Silver futures continued to gain.

SCHOOL QUESTION
 OF MUCH INTEREST
The Old System of Small Building Giving Way
 to New Order
CHANGE BOUND TO COME

Waterbury is not the only place where the care of school children is a matter of much concern 10 the authorities. The State Board of Education has just issued a statement which shows that an effort is being made to reduce ex- penses and yet not in any way hamper educational facilities for the children of the different com munities. An article in the Hart ford Times gives a summary of the report as follows:
 "Connecticut's little red school houses, which are actually white. are disappearing at rate of be- tween twenty-five and fifty a year, the State Board of Education dis closes in figures given out today. Last year the number of these one room schools, in less populated sections. which were eliminated under the consolidation program was thirty-one, leaving a total of 404 in session up to June, 1892. Thirty-one years ago there were 1,077.
 More than thirty-one are dis appearing this year, according to the board, though exact figures will not be tabulated until after school terms begin. Impetus is given the movement to get chill dren out of the one-room schools into consolidated institutions in the towns through the elementary transportation grant passed by the last legislature and made effective last year. Depression has slowed up the erection Of consolidated schools, however.
 The boards chart based on the elimination since 1901 would in- dicate that complete elimination is due in about 1851. As matter of fact those in charge of rural education activities point out that the dropping of the schoolhouses is being sharply increased as com pared with former years, but that complete elimination may be much further off than indicated be cause of the impracticability of closing schools in a few sections where transportation.
 The movement to group school children in larger units is over 100 years old in Connecticut, and the board today is convinced of the advantage of consolidation so far teachers working conditions are concerned. Towns are given aid under either system, however, through teachers grants or trans portation grants. New consolidat- ed schools will be opened next month in many towns, notably Weston and Middlebury.
 Former country schoolhouses meet different fates. Some, on state highway property, are razed and the grounds made into way side parks and picnic grounds. Others are sold to private individ- uals and occasionally are trans formed into dwellings. Frequent ly the schools stood on ground which had been loaned to the town for educational purposes by private individuals, and after an interval of 8 century or more have been reclaimed by the original es- tate, as illustrated by the recent court fight over a closed Simsbury school.
 The average salary for the one room school teacher during the school year ending in June was $1,155, which is much lower than the average of $1,621 for all ele- mentary teachers in Connecticut. Only eight of the 404 rural teach-

Sacramento, Cal, Aug 30.-(UP) Prospects for a national mem bership "war" between the Veter- ants of Foreign Wars and the Amreican Legion appeared here to- day as a result of a decision by the V. F. w. to press it's drive for cash payment of the soldiers bonus.
 Resolutions to continue the or ganization's campaign in congress were introduced at the national conventoin after an address by Rep Wright T. Patman of Texas, de- claring 1t was "up to the veterans" to keep the question of adjusted compensation alive.
 Reports that many posts of the American Legion had voluntarily transferred to the Veterans of Foreign Wars as complete units were given at an executive session of department commanders at the convention.
 This trend, the officers explained, unquestionally was due to the bonus stand.
 High officials of the V. F. w. denied any campaign to recruit posts of members from the Ameri- can Legion was under way, but de- clared We can't prevent veter- ans from changing over of their free will"
 National headquarters of the American legion at Indianapolis, however, expressed doubt that many legionnaires were deserting the organization to join the Vet erans of Foreign Wars.
 The legion is assured this year of 936,000 members, whcih com prises it's regular quota, they point ed out, although last year it had slightly moret han million men- berg.
 Darold D. Decoe of Sacramento, national commander, pointed out that the V. F. w. had increased its membership 67 per cent in the last year.
 This is undoubtedly on account

Issued by the Gotham House,

The document originally was

The Wickersham commissioners

ground that the government should
not intervene in a state case.

He sent it to the senate. There

This is, Wheeler shows, the

MILAN, Italy, Oct. 26.-Fascist
Italy was open today to its polit-
ical exiles.
Premier Benito Mussolini, appar-
emily secure in his belief Of the
unconquerable force of his dictator
ship, extended the olive branch to
thousands of former foes Of his
regime, provided they renounce the
error of their ways and cooperate
with Fascism. Il
At the same time, he predicted a
universal Fascist triumph in Eu-
rope and a century of Italian power
with Italy returning for the third
time" to direct human civilization.
The dictator's speech at Milan,
in celebration of Fascism's tenth
anniversary, was received with sat-
isfaction by the country. 1t was
hailed as a harbinger of a new era
of peace and brotherhood under
more tolerant Fascist regime.
Thousands of relatives of the
exiles prepared joyously to receive
them home, convinced Of the fulfil
ity of fitting further against the
Fascist windmill.
It was estimated the amnesty
offer would affect 1000 exiles in
France, 300 in Belgium and Luxem-
bourg, 500 in Switzerland and 500
in the United States and South
American republics.
The premier did not specifically
say what would be his attitude to-
ward those island prisoners def
initely in custody for political Of
lenses, although it was expected a
more lenient policy would be
adopted.
Mussolini tempered his announce
ment with a plain warning, how
ever, that those who returned must
behave.
