FOR MARKET To
QUIET DOWN
BY THE WALL STREET
SPECTATOR

NEW YORK, May 20 U.N.SO.
The Wall Street boys are getting
a little tired and the market is
beginning to show it.
There was a lot more churning
yesterday with the blue chips
getting socked every time they
lifted their heads and individual
issues, particularly in the oils,
rails, and packing stocks, having
q little party all their own.
Personally, we'd like to see the
market quiet down for a while
and give us a chance to look 'em
over at some leisure.
The bulls may try to give them
another whirl in the next day or
two, but we're cheering from the
Sidelines now.
If there is another flareup brew
ing, the rails and probably the
oils will be used to prime the
speculative pump The former
have today's loadingS report,
which should top a year ago, plus
a sharp recovery in earnings since
the March lows. The petroleum
situation is beginning to get
Washington'S blessings, which is
leading to formation of number
Of pools.
We understand there is some
thing important shaping up in
the cigarette industry.
From preliminary hints, it is
beginning to look like get-to-
gether on a rise in prices to be
accompanied by a wage boost in
the industry. this is expected to
materialize in the next month or
SO. there is considerable specu-
lation whether there isn't con-
siderable distribution going on in
some of the recent leaders like
the utilities, Steels, and motors.

LOWEST LEVELS
Of WEEK SET
On CURB

NEW YORK, May 20 G.N.S).
Curb stocks reacted sharply in
the final half hour of trading
today, with persistent selling
pressure which gained momen-
tum as the session neared its
close carrying the market to it's
lowest levels of the week.
Recent leaders in the upswing
of the specialties were rather
hard hit. Utilities were poured
out steadily. Active utility bonds
lost about a point on the aver.
age.
The Cities Service list did rela-
lively better than the rest Of
the market through most of the
session, although sagging in the
late sell-off.
The list follows:

CLOTH MARKET

NEW YORK. May 90 N.N.s).-The
coarse yarn cloths market was some
cha nged to slightly higher.
While the days volume was con-
siderably less than the previous day,
a wide variety of fabrics were bought
in moderate amounts. The general
feeling that the 40-hour week plan
can be put into operation by July Is
was an incentive to buying even to
those buyers who already had taken
large quantities.
Mills were sold we'll ahead, and
available deliveries within May on
number of constructions were limited
- moderate amounts.

BRING MARTIAL
LAW IN AUSTRIA
Diplomatic Clash Looms as
Government Acts to
Crush Insurgents.
BY ROBERT II. BEST
United Press stsn Correspondent

VIENNA, June 20.-The govern
ment enforced martial law in parts
Of Austria today as it moved ener-
getically to eradicate the Austrian
Nazi party.
The Nazis we're ordered dissolved
after a series of bombings and ter
roristic outrages. The cabinet was
convinced the Nazis sought to over
throw the government. Police,
augmented by the military, began
an immediate roundup of their
leaders.
Foreign observers feared the dis
solution order would lead to a COM
plete break in Austrian re-
lations, strained since the cabinet
began suppressive action against the
Austrian Nazi ten days ago.
AT Krems, attachments of police
and soldiers sought terroristic bomb
ers, believed to be Nazis The bomb
ers threw three hand grenades into
a marching detachment of the
Heimwehr, Monday, wounding
thirty.
Krems and the neighboring towns
of Stein and Mautern are under
martial law, public assembly was
forbidden and citizens were required
to be off streets at p. m.
The government, however, made
a faint effort to avoid an out and
out break with Nazi Germany. Kurt
Schuschnigg, minister Of justice, an
nounced that the order was not
anti-German, because German
Nazis only recently said they would
make no affiliations with Nazi Or
CARNATIONS abroad that we're not
made up of German citizens.

CWANKY Meridian!
- Arbitrarily named, always the
center of religious as well as So
ciety fervor, it is the street of the
city that never has grown old or
shabby.
Other streets may wear moth
eaten clothing and gray at the
temples, but Meridian, as it
stretches to the north and south,
always seems to find enough
henna in the box to dodge the
years.
Henry Ward Beecher, one of the
first of the firebrand ministers,
launched his TRADES against high
land filings and polkas, cards and
dice along its breadth.
Lawrence Barrett played Ham
let" in its gaslight era.
And in the 90's, COS, and up to
1910 or Whereabouts, the some
bodys" of the town either lived on
it or proudly said, Just a block

Business has moved the svelte
residences northWard. Insurance
companies, heating firms, under
takers, took over the old marble
mantels and high-ceilinged win
dows.
1t is a street to conjure with
maids and housemen, private tu-
tors, carriages and limousines.
DACK in the 1905 the street
I'D gave promise when it was
made the dividing line for east
and west numbers and was sur
veyed to include the Governors
Square" Monument place.
or the circle.
The circle was designed to serve
as the residence for Indiana's
Governors.
A residence was built there from
money obtained through the sale
of town lots. No Governor lived
in it. The mansion fell in diSuSe.
Aged members of society of
those days tell tales of playing
battledore and shuttlecock on its
lawn.
And then there were times when
police received calls that ladies of
the evening inhabited it and they
called out the volunteer fire de-
partment.
In those early days the towns
residents were organized into VOL
unteer companies that We'd in
prowess at fires.
They were nicknamed the
wooden Shoes Swallow Tails"
and "Shanghais.'
THE first company occupied a
Il one-story structure on the
north side of the Circle.
So when police were unable to
curb the half-world denizenS, they
called on the departments to clean
them out with hose and water.
On one occasion the ladies OBJ
jected to being washed out with
their bureau drawers and they
made stand in an East Wash
ington street residence with a
shotgun. The fire company's hose
was peppered until the deluge
stopped. But reinforcementS and
new hose won the day for the fire
laddies.
Pastor Beecher, who came to the
city in the fall of 1889, meyer was
credited with being the moving
spirit behind these reform floods,
except in his pulpit spoutings.
But he did like fighting in
temporal way and often was
with the bucket brigades and hose
carts at blazes.
His first church, of the Presby-
terrain faith, was in University
square, but later sermons we're
given in building on the north
west corner OF Market street and
the Circle where candy shop and
restaurant are now.

Christ Episcopal church, north
east corner of the Circle and Me-
ridian street, is the city's Oldest
parish house. Built in 1860, it
stands on the same site, of the
edif1ce that preceded it and was
built by the Episcopalians in 1888.
Throughout the years, its chimes
have tOlled sunrise services at
Easter-tide and been bells of
mourning for famed dead.
In the early life of Meridian
street, the sector south of Wash
ington, near the Union depot, was
the home of many of the towns
pioneers and elite.
J. H. Vajen, who held the dis
tinction-if it might be called that
of having the towns fist bath
tub in his home, lived near Geor-
gia and Meridian streets.
On the northeast corner of the
intersection was the home of John
FfShback, while nearby were the
residences of John D. De Frees
and Jacob Cox, artist.

the towns ministers and Beecher-

of Professor Follansbee and his
dance school.
Follansbee was a good fiddler
and was nicknamed "Do-se-do"
and one of the first of the many
"Do-se-doS" that came after him.
The first town ball was held
Feb. %, 1888, on the Circle in the
Governors mansion house. Since
those days the Circle, especially
on Halloween, often has been the

Noon-tirne was always dinner
time then and the days meal of
meals. Daughty halls, with only
the sitting rooms heated, sent
residents to the warmth of
monkey-stoves and later base
burners. On wintry days men
wore shawls going to and from
work.
One of the memorable sights of
the winter of 1861 was the burn
ing of the First Baptist church,
Maryland and Meridian streets,
during a snowstorm. Flames and
ice combated the firemen and
evened up for the housekeeping

 Pacific Isle ssEmpress''

eign born Ecuadorean farmers, set sail in the little yacht Falcon on a hunting and fishing trip. They decided to go to Floreana, where several years ago German scient- ist named Ritter took residence as a climax of "back to nature" quest.
 Believing Dr. Ritter and his wife to be the only inhabitants, they were overwhelmed with surprise when they were met at the shore by a group of some twenty men.
 With three European gentlemen acting as her aids, the empress" promptly subjected Franke and Stampa to a searching interroga- tion, demanding to know their na- tionality, their intentions and = above all-whether they had any matches.
 The voyagers did, and after ob- liging the baroness with number of matches, were given curt in- structions to reach Ritters cabin and bluntly told to pack them- selves off.

LONDON, Feb. 22.-Reports to- day from Chinchow said the main force of the Japanese military, which plans to wrest Jehol Pro- vince from China, is preparing to strike next at Chaoyang, the sec- ond largest city in the Province.
 This force is now concentrating at Peipiao, after occupying that city yesterday, without opposition.
 Japanese Warning
 Tokyo dispatches said the Unit ed States and other governments which maintain military forces in the spheres of interest in the Pei ping and Tientsin areas will be informed that Japan may be com pelled to extend military operations to those cities.
 Dispatches received here from Washington, D. O., said it is be- lieved there that internationa. complications of a grave nature are feared by Foreign diplomatic consular officers in North China if fighting involves Peiping and Tientsin.
 Foreign Interests
 Those two cities have foreign concessions and extensive foreign interests.
 Reports from Peiping said the Nanling entry by the Japanese, re- ported yesterday, is erroneous. Four thousand Chinese are holding the Japanese back from that city, dispatch from Koyeiyingtze says. Japanese armored trains have ad- vanced as far as the railroad sta- tion, some disance from the city This gave rise to the report the city had fallen.
 Japanese news reports however, said the Japanese have taken both Nanling and Kopeiyingtze and were pushing towards Peipiao.

Package Addressed to President-Elect Is Dis

INTERNAL MACHINE
 DISCOVERED IN SACK
Is Crudely Wrapped Shot, gun Shell Wired to
 Explode Anytime

WASHINGTON, Feb. 22.- The Washington Post, in a copyrighted story today, says a second apparent attempt on the If e of President Elect Franklin D. Roosevelt is re- vealed by the discovery of a bomb addressed to him. The bomb arrived in incoming mail at the city post office. Clerks discovered the bomb when the container broke.
 The b o m b is a crudely wrapped shotgun shell and the opinion is expressed that it is the work of some crank. This is the belief of William Satterfield, Chief Postal In- spector. He said, however, that if the shell had exploded it might have resulted fat ally.
 The package was m a ile e d from Watertown, N. Y. It tumbled from the mail sack here. Investigation now cen- ters at Watertown.
 The twelve guage shell was wired to explode if jared or accidently struck. It might have gone off anytime. It is believed to be the work of an amateur.
