Legislation Reflects
 Influence Of Church
Rev Merrill F. Clarke Informs Conference Delegates
 of Social Progress in Connecticut

A good deal of the better legisla- tion of recent years has admitted ly been the result of the steady pressure of our churches, Rev Merrill F. Clarke said yesterday at the closing session of the annual state Congregational Conference at the Second Congregational church. Mir Clarke Is chairman of the so- cial relations committee.
 Other speakers at the morning session were Miss Helen Wood of the state labor commission, Rev : oscar Maurer, Rev Oscar Huckel, and Rev Edward c. Field. Rev William Horace Day, of Bridge port. closed the conference late yesterday afternoon, with a brief summary address.
 Connecticut, according to MT Clarke, has the reputation of be- ing backward, among other states in the matter of social legislation. He urged better care of feeble minded children.
 ugIy Sums in City
 Ike cocial relations committee, MT Clarke said, has four main ob- jects of study: International rela- tons; racial relations; social and economic conditions and rural life. Of the housing situation MT Clarke said that although plumbing was one of Americas gifts to civiliza- tion, we have not kept enough of it for ourselves. The majority or our homes are without running water. and there are ugly slums in our most beautiful towns and cities, he said.
 Suppose a church took some of the funds out of railroad bonds and built small houses for rent. and rented for decently modest return"
 Promotion of Knowledge
 Tt is the first great object of the Council for Social Action to promote the knowledge and will to peaceable ways among men," he said, in speaking of international relations.
 At the business session a resolu- tion approving the formation of the new national Council for Social Action as part of the Congrega- tional church organization was adopted. The resolution replaced one offered previously by Judge

Other Grains FOIlOwed-TIiis Caused Bad Break in
 New YorI-Western Issues Were Hardest Hit

a relatively small amount of selling was necessary to touch off sharp reaction. When grains were driven down, selling broke out in the stocks that would be directly af- fected. These included the, farm equipments, mail order shares. some of the automobile Issues, and packing stocks.
 A report was circulated in the street that a big Chicago operator had been caught heavily long of various commodities and was being forced to liquidate. The report was not confirmed.
 The reaction in Wall street was swift and sudden. It was the first time in weeks the stock market had broken out of narrow range. There was a period of about 15 minutes when the market was in turmoil. The tape was minutes late at 2:17 D. m. it caught up a few minutes later as volume fell off. Prices came back slightly from the lows.
 Grains, however, closed at or near their lows of the day. Wheat closed at losses of AZ o4M cents; corn off 4 cents: oats off PA to , cents; rye off cents; barley off cents and lard off to 13 points.
 At the lows, Auburn Auto. touch ed 47A off "A; Case 66% off 5; Dupon 95ss off 2M: Cerro De Pas co 35h off 2h; American Can 102k off 2A Howe Sound 66M; U. s. Steel 51 off 1M; American Telephone 118M off "A and Chrys- Ter 52A off IA.

 We've, agreed to marry several times" Jessel said. But 1t has al- ways blown up. You can't dictate to women. As soon as you say Let's do this or that it turns out no good. It's up to Norma"
 Schenck said he was not sur- prised that the former screen &C., tress divorced him.
 I've been expecting it for the last six years. I think Norma is entitled to her freedom. We have been very good friends for ten years. We were very happy to- gether as man and wife and l thank her for those years"

LACROSSE TEAM
 ROUCHED UP THE
 GAMBLING GANG
New York Players Caught Them in Crooked Work
 With Dice

New York. Apr 16-UP)- Husky members of the Crescent club Lacrosse team were slightly depressed today, not because they took q drubbing at Baltimore over the week end but because police interfered with their teamwork when the athletes cornered six small time gamblers who had Geeced them in dice game. The players were quite satisfied, however, with their own fast foot work in converting q crowded Pennsylvania railroad train into an impromptu jail for the gamblers, enroute home from Baltimore.
 Three of the gamblers escaped by leapinG from windows at New ark but three others were brought into New York.
 We offered 10 dismiss the charges if the cops would let us alone with the prisoners for Is minutes so we could take it out of their hides" said Harry Collins one of the athletes. But the cops wouldn't do it.
 The team was returning home after losing to John Hopkins. 10-6 Some of the members started q friendly game of crap. Several strangers Joined in and soon took s100 from the athletes.
 Suspicious at the remarkable run Of "naturals" cast by the strangers. one of the players discovered the Gice had been gummed on one side,
 We barricaded the doors of the car," said Collins, 'and we had the conductor wire ahead to have de. tectivcs meet us. Yes, the gam. blers did object at first, but after we slapped them around a bit. they subsided,"

PRESIDENT WILL
 USE BIC STICK
Pushing Congress Along to Get Through in
 Six Weeks

Washington, April 16.--(UP)- President Roosevelt plans to sail June 23 on cruise to the West Indies, Panama Canal and Hawaii, it was learned today.
 Time of departure depends large- ly on what congress does in the next several weeks. If congress balks MT Roosevent will postpone sailing.
 SThe president is expected to use a $10,000-ton cruiser with flagship quarters, either the Indianapolis or the Houston. Setting out from Annapolis, Md, under escort of two destroyers the squadron will stop first at St Thomas, Virgin Island, to permit the president to go ashore for an inspection trip. From St Thomas the ships will proceed to San Juan, Puerto Rico, for a day or two.
 The Canal Zone will be the third call place where, at the Pacific en- trance to the locks, the destroyer convoy will head back to their Att lantic bases and the now cruiser San Francisco will join the presi- dents vessel. r
 From Panama direct run to mid-Pacific will be made at 22 knots. It will be impossible to have destroyers on the long / Pacific cruiser because of their limited oil storage capacity.

Oats broke the limit of cents a bushel: Rye was down the limit of s cents bushel: wheat and corn were off more than { cents q bushel.
 l. Cotton lost s1 bale; Silver more than 100 points.
 The stock tape fell behind the market shortly after 2 p. m. Prices of stocks dropped to more than 4 points with the west ern issues hardest hit. Case dropped to 67 off 3-4 and Au- burn Auto AT 1-2 off 4 1-2.
 The slide in prices began early In the day in the silver market Bar silver was down nearly cent in the spot market and more than cent an ounce in futures trading. Reason for the break was the inc dication in Washington that the ad- ministration will resist passage of a silver bill at this session of con gress.
 Silver issues were the first to break on the stock exchange. Gold shares held welf most of the day. In the silver division, Federal Min ing & Smelling crashed 16' points to 85, while U. s. Smelling dropped points and others of the silver division were down 2 to nearly 3 points.
 Elimination of silver legislation from the Washington docket would mean there would be no infiation- ary legislation at this session. This was construed as bearish and only
