R0BBERIES KEPT THE EP0LICEBUSY
 IN DORCHESTER
Continuation Came When Three Bandits Met One Lone Policeman - He Wounded One

Boston, Feb 10--U. P.) - One bandit was believed wounded in q midnight pistol battle between three robbers and q lone policeman that culminated series of robber- ies in Dorchester last night.
 Two masked bandits entered the Savin Hill Station of the Boston elevated and forced William P. Hickey, 38, cashier, at gunpoint to hand over .$115, contents of the cash drawer. G
 The first of series of drug store robberies occurred on Geneva ave- nue, Dorchester. Allen c. Went worth, the managr. and a single customer were in the store when three bandits entered and com manded them to put up their hands. When they were slow to obey, one of the robbers fired but missed. They took $50 from the cash drawer.
 A. few minutes later they held up the drug store of Jacob Kaplan on Colum bia road, Dorchester. and es- capped with $102. Two other hold ups of Dorchester drug stores brought them $100 more.
 The fifth holdup nearly resulted in the bandits capture, when Isaac Cantor, Jamaica Plain druggist, overheard the bandits plotting to rob him. He summoned Patrolman William w. Dacey, who surprised the bandits as they entered. One of the gunmen fired at the officer but missed. Dacey returned the fire and one bandit staggered as though wounded but escaped with his confederates In an autom obile.

 State Representative Daniel J. Mahaney loomed today as possi- ble aspirant for the nomination of senator on the democratic ticket in the 16th district. The present incumbent is Senator Joseph 1T. Lawlor but according to reports current in party circles today he will not seek renomination. He is now completing his fourth consecu- tive term while Representative Mahaney is just reaching the end of his first term in the state legis- lature as member of the house.
 That Representative Mahaney would be offered the nomination by certain party leaders, was heard some months ago but his chances of getting the honor took on con- crete appearances today.
 When talked with concerning his possible candidacy, Representative Mahaney statei that he will not consider the post if Senator Lawlor wishes renomination. However. ac- cording to news about the City Hall, the latter Is now doubtful as to whether he will want to run again.
 Nomination for senator in the 18th district on the democratic ticket is equal to election. The

ASH WEDNESDAY,
 IN THE CHURCHES
Lenten Season Formally Opened and Will Last
 Forty Days
TIME OF PENANCE

Today. Ash Wednesday, opened the Lenten season. Masses were celebrated in all the Catholic churches throughout the city, fol- lowed by the significant ceremony of the distribution of the ashes. which ceremony will be repeated tonight. Lenten devotions and ob- servances will be held throughout the season in both Catholic and Protestant churches.
 The season is a time of penance lasting forty days, and significant of the forty days of fast and prayer of Christ. The church liturgy, from the opening Ash Wednesday to the solemn observance of Good Friday, signifies one thing, penance for sin, which is the reason for Lent. Days of fast and abstinence are appointed and rules and regu- lations of the season have been announced in the various churches. In addition to the main Lenten re- quirements of the Catholic church, most individuals try to perform some additional penance and self denial
 Lenten sermons will be preached according to announcement, public Stations of the Cross will be held on Friday evenings, and other ob- servances of the season will be in order. The custom of attending daily mass and the private devo- tion of stations of the Cross are us- ually two of the most practiced of Lenten observations.

district is always democratic. In fact, 1t is one of the few districts in the state that stays consistently in the ranks of the democratic party.
 Senator Lawlor, as representative fthe district, has introduced and has seen passed several pieces of important legislation. His latest bills were ones calling for more rigid supervision of stock salesmen by the state banking department and naming a commission to study the advisability of providing walks on state highways for pedestrians. Both measures were endorsed by the legislature and the sidewalk commission has already reported to Governor Wilbur l.. Cross, recom- mending that more concern be sh town forspedestrians on highways in the laying out of future tsate roads.
 It is understood that either At torney Joseph. Hackett or James Byrnes will be given the nomina- ton for senator in the 18th dis trict. The former lost out to Sen- ator Lewis s. Reed, his g.o.p. op- ponent, by less than 200 votes in the last election. This Is consid- cred very good showing in this normally republican district.

The year of 1891 was a year of low mortality among Connecticut residents. The general death rate, of 10.5, was the same as 1930 which was the lowest death rate ever re- corded up to that time.
 The provisional summary of births and deaths in Connecticut reflects many records. The infant mortality rate, of 53.9 deaths of infants under one year of age per 1000 living births, is record low rate. The diphtheria death rate of 0.9 is truly remarkable.

WHEAT CRASHES
ON FARM BOARD
SELLING REPORT
Buying Near Close Brings
Prices Up From Early
Lows.
BY HAROLD E. RAINVULE
United Press STAFF Correspondent

CHICAGO, March 19.-Wheat
prices crashed 1 to 3 cents with
sickening speed at the opening of
the Chicago Board of Trade TODAY
under wave Of liquidation brought
on by statements from Washington
that the government is to start an
aggressive selling campaign on farm
board wheat.
Liverpool dropped to 215 cents
per bushel, adding to the bearish
sentiment here. AT Chicago the
September option led the decline
and was nearly s cents under last
weeks prices.
Corn, Oats Of Sharply
Startling action in the major pit
limited action in corn and oats but
these grains dropped off sharply
with dominating cereal. Deferred
deliveries bore the brunt of the
selling.
Near the close, buying carried
prices up from lows established at
the opening. Wheat finished the
day IL to Ia cents lower; corn,
Is to Is cent off; oats, Is to IS cent
lower, and rye, q to q cent down.
Cash wheat declined l to 2 cents:
corn, to 215 cents, and oats, 4 to
l cent.
Liverpool took a serious view on
the proposed action of the farm
board to unload its stock of surplus
wheat and cotton abroad and after
opening lower, finished to pa
pence down. Buenos Aires was
closed for holiday.
Corn Near Seasons Low
Those in a position to know, are
of the belief that the farm board
will not sell any wheat in the
United States, forcing domestic
mills to obtain their supplies direct
from the producer or terminal
holders. This is hoped to steady the
market, but sentiment is predomi-
natingly bearish.
NOIu has Deeu taxing 1LS lea0
from wheat and will doubtless con-
tinue to do so for the time being.
May Friday was within 5s cent of
the seasons low set Oct 5, 1881, and
with no cash sales for the past two
days, sentiment, especially in the
cash market, is entirely bearish.
Iowa received additional SHOWS
overnight and the rest of the belt
is unsettled.
Oats is being governed almost
wholly by the actions in the other
pits, a situation that is expected to
obtain for the present.
