New York, Aug 17--(UP)--Ths stock market paid little attention today to the highly important de. ciaration of the regular divtdene by the American Telephone 4 Co, such action having been discounted by the recent bus- tained rise of the entire market.
 After several attempts to move higher in the early trading. the market slipped into a narrow trad- ing range with leading stocks showing a confusing mixture of scall gains and losses
 The telephone dividend meeting, results of which were announced shortly afternoon was deterrent to buying in the morning but even with the news out of the way, the market showed little disposition to move.
 Some traders used the dividend news as an opportunity to take profits. American Telephone. it. self came under this influence, the stock breaking to the 112Aeyel, a net loss of about points. Most other utilities, some of which felt important buying, were fractionally higher. Amang these were Inter- national Telephone, postol prefer red, Western Union, North Ameri- can and Consolidated Gas.
 The weekly report of electrical energy consumption in the United States. made public at noon, was regarded as favorable. the loss from a year ago being 13.1 per cent the same loss as was shown in the proceeding week.
 Trading in the arly afternoon was sharply restricted. traders keeping on the sidelines. United States Steel fell off to A1 1-2 and then hovered around the 42 level.

at Niagara Falls last Saturday.
 How ohlsons' life was saved was told here by operatives of the Burns detective agency.
 Before the steel executive left for Niagara he visited a restaurant in Cleveland where he usually met the actress. He placed a farewell note for her in a match box.
 By accident, detectives found the match box and note. It ia- structed her to telephone him at a Niagara Falls hotel; the detectives communicated with the actress and begged her to telephone Ohlson. protect her identity.
 The actress called ohison. He had left his automobile at the brink of the falls and placed 8 suicide note in 1t. She pleaded with him not to die until she could see him once more. Finally he aquesced to her suggestion that they meet in Chicago.
 The rendezvous was kept. The actress met him in Grant Park, a few feet from the outdoor art fair. Detectives took Ohlson into GUS tody. They agreed to allow him to see the actress alone in a nearby hotel.
 Again the suicidal desire over came the over-wrought man. He threatened to jump from the win- dow. He dragged her to a win dow. flung 1t open and was about to leap.
 Only when the woman asserted she also would end her life,, did he desist.
 Today Ohlson was in a private sanitarium near Chicago where he was to rest until his shattered nerves recovered. The actress. her mission accomplished, return to Cleveland by airplane.
