collateral. Other money artes ad- vanced correspondingly.
 The 2 per cent call money rate was the first change from an artifi- cial one per cent figure since Octo- her 13, 1882 and the first advance in call money in year and a half. Bankers acceptances were forced up a full point, the widest gain in the history of that market as deal- CTS anticipated dumping of the bills on the market at a sacrifice.
 Immediate reason for the rise in money rates was the addition of Tennessee and Kentucky to the list of state declaring banking mora toria. Restricted withdrawals were in force in many cities. A bright spot was ending of the Dayton bank holiday.
 The foreign exchange market still reflected nervousness over the American situation. The pound sterling and it's satellites, the Nor wegian currencies. declined, but French francs made further gains, presaging further exodus of gold to Paris. Declines were noted in Bell gian, German and Dutch units. Swiss francs advanced.
 Railroad shares were among the best performers in the rally. New York Central rose more than a point, Atchison point, while frac- tional gains were noted in others of the group.
 Railroad news was favorable. Earnings of many roads made a favorable showing in January, re- ports for the month released to-day revealed. Car loadings for the week ended February 25 were making a better showing than an- ticipated. Railroads were includ- ed in the bankruptcy bill and that phase was probably the principal impetus for the recovery in the group.
 Steel news related the difficul. ties involved in the banking mora torium, the Iron Age citing a 2 point drop to IF per cent of ca pacity as a direct result. Steel common touched 23z in the early trading and later came back to 25. It closed at 23A up 1z point.
 American Telephone touched 95 IA, rallied to 98 Is and closed at 98 up a point. Allied Chemical closed at "A 3-8 up 5-8; American Can 52 3-8 up 5-8; Case 34 1-8 up 1 1-2; New York Central 16 up 1 3-8; consolidated Gas 45 5-8 off Is; and North American 20 IA up 1 1-2.

FIRE CAPTAINS DEATH NOT YET
 FULLY CLEARED
Peabody Officer Die d of Poison, But Whether Suicide or Murder is Still UnsOlved

Peabody, Mass, Mar 1-UP)- Police had under surveillance to- day an expert in chemicals be- lieved. to have furnished the advice that led to the administering of cyanide to Fire Captain William J. Costello. Investigators held that whether the poison was self-ad- ministered or administered by an- other person it was apparent that there was the guidance of expert advice. Had not the cyanide been swallowed in food, liquid or a capsule, they pointed out, it would have killed Costello before 1t reached his stomach, where traces of it were revealed by an autopsy.
 Of considerable importance in the aeyes of investigators was last nights pathological report showing that cyanide alone caused Costel- los death and that there were no traces of oxalic acid in his vital organs.
 The attractive widowed mother of Costello's two children had told police she bought the cyanide and some oxalic acid at a local phar- macy, and that shortly before his death her husband mixed the en- tire contents of both packages with the idea of using the mixture for cleaning purposes. Thus. de- tectives were puzzled by the dis closure that the cyanide found in the body was unmixed. Costello. who was 34, died about 10 days ago after attending a wake.

 A taxicab driver told police he had heard screams coming from the brewery the night after the girls disappearance. Police plan ned to investigate the "tip more thoroughly today.
 South Boston authorities were asked to search for man seer alighting from an elevated trair last Friday with two children whose descriptions tallied witt those of the missing girls.

Paris, March 1.-(UP)-Pre- mier Daladier's government em- erged victorious to-day from a parliamentary battle over the March budget, Winning a vote of confidence in the chamber of depu- ties by 360 to 214.
 The government met keen op- position from a strong political group interested in the provision which imposes taxes on all govern ment functionaries earning 12,0OO francs a year or more.
 The chamber had proposed to tax these officials on basis of B. 900 francs. The senate had raised the minimum income to 15,000. A compromise between the two fig ures was fought out in an early morning session of the parliament.

 Law

Boston. March 1.-(UP)-If New Hampshire adopts the pro- posed 48-hour work week, the Nashua Manufacturing company will be compelled to have more of its manufacturing done in the south, firm officials announced to- day. Though denying that the movement of 254 looms from the Nashua, N. H., mills to the plant at Cardova, Ala, was the beginning of general transfer of operations Robert Amory, company treasurer. warned that adoption of the short week would increase the cost of manufacture in New Hampshire over the souht.
 This means losing business and therefore less employment" hhe said. "I would respectfully point out to the other communities of New Hampshire which have no tex tile plants that what is lost in Nashua, Manchester, etc, because of a 48-hour law or other restrictive legislation will be a loss to the en- tire state"

 New York, March 1-UP)- Stability of industry and security of the job are industry's major problems today in the opinion of Miss Frances Perkins, who as se- cretary of labor, is to be the first woman to sit at the cabinet table in the White House.
 Miss Perkins is expected to ef- feet a complete reorganization of the labor department in order to shift the emphasis from immigra- tion problems, which have recent ly absorbed it, to labor problems.
 Miss Perkins, who is not quite 46, has devoted her life to indus trial questions, beginning with the problem of industrial safety. Her intense interest in this problem was born when, at the age of 24, she witnessed the 1911 Triangle shirt waist factory fire in New York city, in which young women work CTS were trapped in holocaust that took 146 lives.
 Miss Perkins was named secre tdl oL d VI SdlCty tO investigate that fire. Since that time she has worked constantly on in- dustrial problems from the poin. of view of the men and women who work in factories.
 We have solved the problem of industrial safety" said Miss Per- kins. 'The best methods of pre- venting industrial accidents and diseases are not practiced in every plant in every industry. but we have the technique. When new hazard develops from new pro- duct or a new process, we learn at once how to solve it.
 But we have not yet solved the problem of stability and security We can solve it, I am confident. Perhaps we shall be able to solve it as a result of this depression"
