 Slightly more activity came into Allied Chemical and the Issue rose 2 points. Elsewhere gains were smaller. American Sugar Refining rose more than a point when the sugar quotas under tho Jones-CoB- tigan bill were announced. To. baccos continued to rise on talk of reduced taxes on cigarets.

QUEEN OF GYPSY CLAN
 GIVEN FINAL TRIBUTE

Mary wore lowered into the earth. Contrasting sharply with the quiet, peaceful green of the cemetery, the bright. .hued gypsy costumes made bright Bplotches of color despite heavy loaden skies.
 They gathered about the grave, men. women and children, while . Russian Orthodox priest whisper cd q few words of prayer; they stood silent as tho coffin sank into the soft earth, but there was n sob or two as they turned away to on. ter the cars that would take them back to their temporary homes.
 All day yesterday. shabby auto. mobiles, most of thcm filled 10 overho wing, kept arriving at tho store---part dwelling Ut 2 Fleet street, whore Queen Mary had last lived. The men stood n moment at tho coffin and passed outside to greet their friends. the women stayed in the dim-iIt parlor to mourn in silence.
 In death, the extent of Mary's wealth is as unknown as 1t was in life. Presumably poor at tho time, she once had $17,000 in cash stolen from hor while she lived In Waterbury. Today tberc arc only guessos as to her wealth, if any.

GREAT BRITAIN
 WILL DEFAULT
 DEBT PAYMENT
There Is $S5,67O,OOO Due in June Other Nations
 May Do the Same

(CopyFight 1884, by United Prcss)
 London, May 26-(UP)-Great Britain has decided to accept the challenge of the Johnson law and default it's SS6.60,000 war deht payment due the United States Juno 15, a high official source close to the treasury, told the United Press today. It was regarded as certain that British default would be follow. ed by defaults of other nations that have been making token payments. Tn Brussels the United Press learned in authoritatlvely quarters that Belgium had decided to default again.
 All the debtor governments. like Great E. italn, naturally hoped that there might be some mira. culous change in the debt gitua- ton.
 But the United Press informant said that President Roosevelt, on May 1, told Ambasador Ranold Lindsay that another token pay. ment would not remove the stigma of default and that afterwnrd it was decided that dofauit--barring unexpected negou0tions--wag the only course.
 Sentiment already had been a- gainst making token payment, and 1t was said today that no ef- fort would Do mde to promote the token idea.
 Because of tho Whit Monday Holiday, the cabinet has not met in 10 days and has not formally made the decision to default. How. ever, it was said, the decision was made outside the cabine. and ap. proval Is q formnlity.
 It was regarded as unlikely that q formal cabinet decision would be made before President Roose. vent sends his dcbt message to congress,
