FRANCES MINISTER
OF JUSTICE RESIGNS
Rayna|dy Acts ito Relieve
Embarrassment" in Pawn
shop Scandal Debate.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
PARIS. January 26.-Eugene Ray
naldy, minister of justice. resigned to-
day from the French cabinet because
Of the Bayonne pawnshop scandal.
Raynaldy's resignation, it was said,
was intended to relieve the cabinet of
embarrassment during the pending de-
bate in the Chamber of Deputies on
the scandal which already has caused
Raynaldy'S name to be dragged into
parliamentary discussions.
Second Force Out
Raynaldy is the second minister to
be forced out of the cabinet by the
scandal. Albert Dalimier, minister of
colonies, resigned January 8.
The constant rloting in the streets
every time the pawnshop scandal was
mentioned in the Chamber as we'll as
threats that the Royalists would hold
demonstrations until the cabinet was
reformed was understood to have con-
tributed to Raynaldys decision to quit
the government.
Premier Camille Chautemps is un-
alterably opposed to a parliamentary
investigation, insisting it be made by
a non n-political body.
Government supporters spent most of
the day in session without apparent
result. Both the cabinet and its fol-
lowers dread renewal of debate on the
financial scandal and may decided the
best way out is through resignation.
The 'Stavisky trial." which was first
called back in 1926. was postponed for
the twentieth time today for lack of
prisoners

Most of that break occurred q week ago when Engelbert Dollfuss, Austrian prem fer, was assassinated. The war scare was dissipated this week, however, and the death of Presi- dent von Hindenburg failed to dis turb the exchanges here. The Ber- lin Bourse was closed immediately but will reopen Monday. The Paris Bourse opened the day after the death without experiencing diffi- culties, The London market re- mained open without encountering any selling.
 Wheat gained small amounts this week and other grains follow ed. Cotton was up slightly, silver spurted sharply and rubber made good gains. Metals aside from silver were lower. Hides broke, sharply. Coffee and sugar futures gained.
 Weakness in the railroad stocks was attributed to the inauguration of the new pension plan embodied III ed ANIVII elNl VI CoIS ISSS. lllQI plan calls for large expenditure on the part of the carriers without providing increased revenues.
 Chrysler broke in the motors on an unfavorable earnings report for the second quarter. The report re- tlected increased costs that will be applicable to all automobile com panies and it unsettled the other leading issues.
 U. s. smelling was up several points in the silvers. Aviation is- sues gave a good accounting on the demonstrations of new flying de- vices. Local fractions firmed late in the week on further talk of in- creased fares. Oils were steady to firm. Utilities made small gains despite weakness late in the week Amusements rallied as did some of the wet stocks.
 Business indices were little changed. Car loadings, automobile production, and steel operations declined moderately. Gains were noted electricity output, bank clear ings, and lumber production. Re- tail trade held well.

 One of the ornaments of Con- statine's Basilica was a fountain which was placed in the middle of the atrium, or court yard, for the refreshment of pilgrims. Nothing remains of it today except two bronze peacoclls and the central also of gilded bronze from which the water sprang. Dan- te. in his Inferno refers to this "Pine-apple."
 Five important councils in the history of the Catholic church have been held in the Basilica, in 1123 1139, 1179, 1915 and 1512, and Henry VII was crowned emperor in 1872.
