EMBASSY ROW AT CAPITAL SAVED
 FROM THIRST

Washington, March 15-(UP)- The drought along embassy row was broken today when cham pagne and whiskey which had been seized in New York rolled into town under escort of more police- men than would be assigned to visiting king.
 The liquor had been shipped from London on a steamer bound for Baltimore, thence to be trucked to Washington as usual. But when the steamer touched at New York, a treasury agent bounced on the cargo. Diplomatic immunity meant nothing to him.
 The irate diplomats promptly marched down to the state depart 1nent. It was bad enough to have their money tied up in American banks. they protested, but to be deprived of their cocktails and highballs was more than they could tolerate.
 Officials soothed their ruffied feelings and arranged to have the liquor brought from New York by truck. Strong escorts of motorcycle patrolmen were arranged to ward off possible hi-jackers.

.C.L.&P.CO TAKES SALEAWARDFO FOR
 GAS APPLIANCES
Leads All New England Companies for l93z- Record Is Outstanding for the Nation at Large

'' New Haven, March 15-Award to the Connecticut Light 6 Power company for the greatest sales dur ing 1889 of Automatic Gas Water Heaters has been made by the New England Gas association
 The award by the association Is an annual event. In previous years the Connecticut Light & Power company has put in a strong bid for this award, and at the close of 1891 occupied runner-up posi- ton. Not until this year, however. did this company gain recognition for making the greatest number of CTS for Class "A' companies, which comprise the largest gas companies in New England.
 Accepting the award for the company, Vice-President R. H. Knowlton states: These results were obtained only by active, in- telligent and cooperative sales ef- forts both on the part of the com- pany's sales force and cooperating dealers who participated in the sales plan."
 Comparison of results by mem Der companies of the New England
 Gas association is made on the basis of number zof meters-that is the total number of automatic water heaters sold divided by the number of meters served. During the year just closed, the Connecticut Light and Power company sold a total of 786 automatic water heaters-ex- elusive of those sold by co-operat- ing dealers. The sales during the year just closed represents an in- crease of 70 heaters over the pre- vious year, which has generally been considered better year for selling. In view of curtailed pur- chasing habits of the people to- day, this is considered rather outstanding accomplishment, not alone in comparison with New Eng land companies but also with other companies throughout the country.

New York, March 15.-(UP)- Wall street went back to work to- day with a roar of optimism.
 That section of lower Manhat- tan harboring the many share trading exchanges-known the world over as "the street"-ended nine days enforced holiday and went about buying and selling at smashing pace.
 From the minute that William Crawford, bending over delicate time chronoer, pulled a lever that started trading on the New York stock exchange, there was rising pace in downtown activities. The floor of the exchange was damned by brokers for the first time in months. Streets were crowded, with runners darting back and forth. Motor traffic was heavy.
 The market boomed. It opened up 1 to points, farm products and beer-benefitted stocks in com mand. In the first half hour the pace was at 6,000,000 shares a day. Shorts covered hurriedly. The noise on the exchange floor was a con stant hum as traders fashioned the market. Prices kept up. There were occasional cheers.
 Brokerage offices were reporting good attendance, after weeks of confederation by the outside pub- lie. One brokerage house opened wire to the coast, found out 1t was insufficient to handle the amount of business pouring in and had to open another.
 By noon 100000 shares had been exchanged-the greatest trad ing pace for the first two hours since November II, 1882.
 Then shortly before D. m. trad- ing spurted again. Prices became stronger. Tickers which at the opening had been one and two minutes behind the market, were pressed to keep up. Brokers on the floor maintained their custom ary decorum but the noise of bid- ding increased There were only a few visitors in the spectators gall lery, mainly because spectators had to be introduced by some broker member and the brokers were too busy with transactions to be in- troducing friends.
 By 12:53 tickers again had gone one minute behind the market.
 At that time the following prices were being quoted:
 J. I. Case, 44%, up 8.
 International Harvester 22 1-2, up 3-4.
