Representative Meaney. who was a classmate of Frank Hodson of this city, attended a get together of friends of the latter at MT Hodson's summer home at Quassapaug and was heartily re- ceived.
 A steak roast was enjoyed. There was nothing of a apolitical nature attached to the session at Quassa- paug, old school mates having just a gathering. Representative Meaney is one of the old schoolmates and is held in high esteem by them all. No speeches were made but good time was had by all.
 Representative Meaney, who has many staunch followers here. is expected to visit the city later in the campaign and be among the speakers at a huge democratic rally sponsored by the local party leaders. He was a close friend in the last session of the legislature of Representatives Daniel J. Mahaney and John D. Thoms of this city.

Prices Drop 1 To 5 Points; Blamed
 On Manipulation
Bonds Also in Decline -Tickers Clogged for Time
 With Orders-Slow Recovery at Closing Hour

New York, Sept 2e.-(UPJ-- Profit-taking, new short selling and some distribution by pool man. ipulators brought prices down l to more than $ points on the stock exchange to-day.
 Bonds also declined, but major commodities made good showing. Cotton held gains ranging to more than 50 cents a bale, while wheat closed about unchanged and other grains eased only small amounts.
 Selling came at intervals after a rise in the early trading following a firm opening on the stock mar ket. Toward the close the de- cine gathered momentum and for time tickers barely held their own. Before the end of the ses- sion, however, some support was noted and leaders came back from their lows by small amounts. Trad in gearly in the day was light.
 The selling was mostly for psych ological reasons, since most of the news was considered favorable to the market. It included inn provement in many lines of indus try: pickup in employment; im- provement in automobile sales and outlook for continued rise in car Headings.
 The rise of S5,478 cars in the loading report for the week ended Sept IT was regarded as a bullish

factor. However, the rails failed to make good showing, and that irresponsiveness was in part re- sponsible for the selling which per- meated theh entire market, notably the carriers.
 As the decline spread, shorts took courage and placed new lines. Their operations in turn brought further recessions and many stops were caught in the late trading. At no time, however, was the decline rout. /. The market maintained an orderly appearance despite the scope of the recessions.
 Highest grade issues on the board
 made the widest declines. Steel common was driven down 5 points and the preferred more than in the face of favorable reports from the steel industry. Operations for the country as whole were up points this week, according to the magazine steel. Better steel busi- ness was reported from the prin- cipal centers such as Pittsburg. Youngstown and Chicago.
 Farm equipments dropped sharp ly in the face of a steady com modity market. Earlier in the ses- sion these issues were among the best on the upside. Case late in the day was down more than ! points and National Harvester ?. Mail orders went the way of the farm issues on a smaller scale.
 United Aircraft was freely dis tributed downward to 29 where it was off 1-2 points. Allied Chem ical, American Can, Johns Man vile and Coca Cola lost to points each. American smelting was down more than points in the coppers, while American to- bacco dropped 8 in it's group, and Du Pont lost more than points.

LUSITANIA SHRINE
 AT QUEENSTOWN
Irish Free State Donates Site for Peace Memorial
 to Be Erected Soon WORK NEAR FINISHED

The New York Times of today carries the following article which remind readers of the great seas tragedy which occurred during the World War and had much to do in bringing the United States into the conflict:
 The preliminary work on the Lusitania peace memorial at Cobh (Queenstown), Ireland. has been satisfactorily completed, and it is hoped the monument will be fin ished by next Summer, according to an announcement yesterday by the Lusitania memorial committee, of which William H. Vanderbilt Is chairman and Mrs J. Borden liar riman secretary and treasurer.
 Details of the progres already made have just been reported to the committee by Jerome Connor, sculptor, of Dublin and Washing ton, D. C., who returned to this country from Ireland last week.
 A site in Scott Square, Cobh. fac ing the sea, has been given to the committee by the Irish Free State and the council of Cohb. A full sized plaster model of the memo
 
 the state and the council have ap- proved the design and the speciti- cations. The statue is to be cast in bronze and rest on stone base.
 The committee plans to have a peace demonstration by represen- tatives of all nations at the time of the dedication. All the belliger- ents of the World War have ap- proved the idea of the peace me morial. according to the commit t. tees statement. and funds for its completion and dedication will be sought.
 "The Lusitania memorial will be the first peace monument In any country since the great war" said Mir Connor. Tt will be the only public monument of any kind in Queenstown. Neither in it's general design or in any detail will 1t sug- gest warfare. This ideal represents the wishes of the American com- mittee sponsoring the memorial, and it has met an enthusiastic re- sponse from the people of Ireland who gave the site. It is fitting that such a peace monument should be erected to the memory of the 1,195 innocent victims of the Lusitania disaster.
 "The idea and design of the memorial are being submitted for the approval of the American peo- ple. It consists of an eXedra and pedestal surmounted by figure of peace facing the sea and backed by an illuminated cross, the sym bol of christianity. The inscription of the memorial will be:
 ""To the memory of all who per ished by the sinking of the Lusi- tania, May '. 1915, and in the cause of universal and lasting peace this monument is erected.
 "It is the intention of the com mittee to have all the 1,195 names of those lost in this sea tragedy ln- scribed in bronze on the memorial The committee will be glad to re- ceive from surviving relatives or friends information which will in- sure the correctnes of these in scriptions. A part of the fund raised will be reserved as an en- dowment to maintain and preserve the monument to future genera . tions."

 The delegates were determined, leaders said, that congress should hear their demands for immediate cash payment of the bonus, no cuts in disability allowances to disabled vetefans and equal rights for negro veterans. These demands were made in resolutions adopted yester- day. Other resolutions condemned President Hoover for use of the militia in evicting bonus .marchers from Washington and denounced interpretation of their fight against "class distinction" as an imperial istic war"

MARSHALL STAFF OF EXPERTS TO
 PROBE INSULLS
U. s. District Atty Green
 to Study Records of
 Utility Concern Just
 Collapsed .'.

Chicago, Sept 26-UP)-U. $. District Attorney Dwight H. Green to-day undertook an extensive scrutiny of the collapsed utilities empire of Samuel Insult.
 Green marshalled a staff of ex- perts to go over the records of the $2,000. OO0,000 group of power. light, traction, gas, manufacturing and real estate properties in the massive organization.
 Three main lines of investigation were to be carried out.
 The first concerned possible mis- representations in stock promotion literature sent through the mails. The second sought to determine whether all income tax returns compiled with the law. The third was to discover if any assets had been concealed in the bankruptcy of the collapsed corporations.
 Green, who was chief aid in the federal prosecution which sent Al Capone to the penittentiary, called on Chief Postal Inspector K. P. Aldrich, William A. McSwain, head of the federal bureau of investiga- ton here, A. P. Madden, chief of the special intelligence unit of the internal revenue department and Internal Revenue Agent c. w. Her rick to confer with him in order to correlate the complicated inquiry.
 The youthful prosecutor said he would bring the trained staff which aided in the investigation and pros- ecution of the $30,000,00 W. B. Foshay utilities collapse at Minne- apolis here to undertake the detail work of the investigation.
 First to be questioned concerning the Insull affairs was expected to be Samuel Insult, Jr, only member of the family who remains in Chi cago. Moves went forward mean while to obtain the return of Sam uel Insull, ST, from his self-exiie in Paris; a move is also being made to bring back Martin Insull. brother of Samuel. who is now in retirement at Orilla, Ont.

 While the cases of ten others are pending rumors continue 10 be placed in circulation concerning the appearance of 35 agents mo- bilized from three states and their descent upon some of the city s outstanding restaurants. In one place on Bank street, so it has been learned, photographic as well da liquid evidence was sought. Pic lures were taken of the interior Of the place. Whether the photos will be introduced later as evidence or treasured as souvenirs by Pro- hibition Administrator Robert Sengle of Hartford, will become known Friday when the case of the alleged proprietor comes to trial. Federal agents are trying most zealously to make another arrest in this particular case, but are finding the going rather com- plicated. There is still the popular opinion that the wholesale raiding was carried out as part of an in teresting political feud that is go- ing on presently behind the scenes. When the curtain rises there are likely to be a number of interest ing disclosures.
 The case of Michael Lonergan of 276 Cherry street was scheduled for this morning. but at the request of counsel the case was continued for one week.
 The hearing for O'Connell took place as arranged. He is the al- legged proprietor of the establish ment. at 140l East Main street, where the greatest seizure of the day was made. over TOO pint bot ties of beer. some cider brandy, gin and whiskey were confiscated.
