PROBE Of RIOT
At ALBANY

UN.S0. - Three investigations
were being pushed today into the
battle between Albany police and
200 hunger marchers," in which
more than a score of the march
ers were injured.
One of the inquiries, particu-
larly as to why the marchers
were compelled to spend the cold
night in an open field without
shelter, was ordered by Federal
officials at Washington. George
Clark, Federal relief official at
Albany, said he was ordered to
investigate and submit an Of
ficial report.
Mayor John Boyd Thacher, cut
short a Democratic campaign trip
to hurry back to Albany to di-
rect an investigation.
Characterizing the battle as
unfortunate" Mayor Thacher
ordered all of the city's transient
shelter facilities placed at the
disposal of the marchers, and
also ordered Police Chief Smurl
to provide police protection" for
them "as long as they remain
orderly"
A third investigation was being
made by State officials, includ-
ing Major John A. Warner, super
intendent of the State Police.
Meanwhile, Governor Lehman
who is campaigning in New York
city, issued a statement defend.
ing the right of all persons to
peaceful and orderly assembly
and petition" He invited the
marchers to return to New York
city and confer with him, and at
his suggestion Major Warner
offered to provide trucks for the
trip.
A group of Albany clergymen,
In a letter to Mayor Thacher,
demanded an investigation of
the clubbing" of the marchers
by police.

Paris, April 17-U.P)- Start ling conclusions concerning in- crease in Asiatic populations and decline in birthrate in European asd American countries were re- ported to-day by Professor Charles Richet in his world population sur- vey.
 New York will be the largest city Of the world by 1944, the sur vey forecast, with London drop- ping to sixth.
 Richet predicted Tokio would be in second place, Shanghai third and Chicago seventh in 1944.
 Professor Richet's survey indi- cated that in the next ten years the worlds population will have in- creased 195.OO0.000. The Asiatics will have increased their races by 14O million: the American nations by 35 millions and the European countries by only 20 millions.

BERLIN LAUGHS
 AT GREAT JOKE
April Fool Picture of Fly. ing Man Published
 Over Here

Berlin, April 17.-UP)-Ber- lin residents chuckled to-day over American enthusiasm for a picture of a German man flying in the air under his own power. Photographs of the feat, widely circulated in good faith in the United States. showed Ottfried Koycher. skis on his feet, a propeller and a pair of rotor cylinders strapped to his chest and back, dipping through the air while enthusiastic friends waved from the ground.
 A caption under the picture said that Koycher, by blowing thruogh . tube into the cylinders. was able to transform the carbon dioxide he exhaled into power to whir1 the propeller. A rudder at his back directed his flight, and en- abled him to remain in the air for 42 seconds.
 The original picture, however, was a joke. It appeared in this years April fool edition of the Inagazine, Berliner Illustrierte, : noted for its displays of fantastic, synthetic pictures in its All Fools day issue.
 Koxcher, 1t was Iaughingly ex- pIained. was corruption of the German word "Keucber." which neans buffer, or hot air mer.

 Among the great capitals of the
 world, Shanghai shows the great est increase at present. 55 births annually per thousand population Indicative of the increase of pop
 ulation in Japan, Professor Richet reports an annual increase of A
 per thousand in Tokio and 33 in
 Osaka. New York increases only 19
 per thousand annually, Buenos Aires IT. Neither London nor Paris
 has shown any birth increase in
 the past decade although the pop ulation has increased by attraction of residents from outside.
 "We cannot estimate p,oTe than ten years ahead, bees use wars, rev olutions, catacylysms, famines and epidemics have an influence upon
 movement of population" Profes- sor Richet said.
 Despite that possibility, his sur vey indicated that if the present rate of increase continues, Tokio will become the worlds largest city by 1855.

 | RISE SHARPLY
4.96 Per Cent Increase for Last Week-All But
 Hit Years High

1. New York, April 17-New York city bank stocks registered a sharp recovery during the past week. The advance, in part, was due to the exceptionally favorable bank state- ments issued during the past ten days showing the condition as of the close of the first quarter. The aggregate value of the sixteen leading issues totaled $1,634,227,- 900 as of the close April 13, which was within striking distance of the high record for the year to date established on February 19. This total compares with ,00O at the close of the previous week, an increase of $77,260,000 or 4.9S per cent.
 The current average yield of the sixteen issues of 4.90 per cent com- pares with yield of 5.14 per cent at the close of the previous week. The current market value is now 1.36 times their known book value, against 1.31 times on April 6. Bas- ed upon current figures the six teen isues are now quoted at an average of 13.1 times their known earnings, against 11.S times on April 6.

INSULL IS BEING WELL GUARDED
Not a Chance Is Left for Him to Start New
 Legal Move

Cantania, Sicily, April 17.-(UP) Samuel Insull, returning to the United States to face trial on fraud charges, arrived at a. m., to-day in the steamship Exilona, under close guard to prevent a possible bid for freedom. As the ship approached port-a regular stop on its way to Boston-two members of the crew were detailed to watch him instead of the usual one. In fear of a suicide attempt, he was refused permission to in- spect the ships engines.
 In order to avoid international complications the state department had arranged that an Italian and other ports on it's homeward journey it should be treated as a ship in innocent passage" so that it could halt at any port overnight without becoming subject to port regulations and possibly losing
 Insull by some legal move.
 Insull, clad in blue pajamas and black slippers, accompanied by the head steward, stood back on the deck watching the shore, while members of the crew guarded the pangway.

ton, When Waterville entered the full taxation district the school and its buildings naturally came under the regulations governing all school properties in the city and these were such as to practically eliminate the community center feature of the local gymnasium.
 The formal vote of the board Is as follows:
 "Where gymnasiums, pools, ana other parts of school buildings are used by outside organizations and groups, the following regulations shall be in force:
 No entertainment shall continue after midnight and doors to build ings shall not be opened more than thirty minutes before the be- ginning of any entertainment.
 Where an admission fee IS charged the following expenses shall be paid by the group spon- soring the ,entertainment:
 (a) Five dollars to the school principal or teacher designated by the principal, for supervision.
 (b) One dollar an hour or frac- tion thereof to the janitor.
 (c) Actual charge for use of lights.
 Where no admission fee is charg- ed janitorial service only shall be paid for by the group providing the entertainment.
 In case there are two janitors in a building the above sum is to be divided equally or the janitors are to serve on alternate evenings.
 When permission is granted for the use of the buildings in after noon no charge shall be made for Janitorial services unless the Jan'. tor be detained after $500 o'clocE. or unless, in the opinion of the committee, the extra duties involv- ed make such charge necessary"

Market Lifted the Pressure and Stocks Wen
BY ELMER Q. WALZER limited Press StafR COrrespOnden

New York, April 17-(UP)-
 Pressure lifted from the stock mar ket today as the grain markets rallied following another period of heavy selling. Stocks near the close
 were up fractions to more than 2 points; wheat closed off 1 1-8 to 1 3-4 cents a bushel; corn off l-4
 to 3-8 cent. Grains at the close were up fractions to 2 cents from
 the days lows.
 American Telephone led the stock market into higher ground. It gained more than points, while gains of fractions to more than a point were noted in U. s. Steel, U. s. Smelling, Woolworth. Gen. eral Electric, General Motors, Du Pont, American Can, and Ameri- can Smelling.
 Amusement issues were strong, notbaly Fox which at the high was up more than a point at 16~7-S. Rails firmed to around the previ- ous close. U. s, Rubber was in de- gained small amounts as did wet
 stocks and textiles.
 Packing issues continued in de- mand and buying was noted in sev- eral special issues that recently have been favorites on the bullish
 side. Canadian issues came to the fore late in the day, notably Inter. national Nickel.
 Business news was favorable. It | included the General Electric Go. first quartre report showing a rise
 of 35 per cent in sales. and a gain
 of 61 per cent in profit; a sharp | pickup in Montgomery Ward profit in the first 2 months of the year.; American Locomotive thrilled or-
 ders at $7.249,0O0, against $1.313.- 900 a year ago; 32 per cent rise in power output by American | Water Works in March compared with a year ago; a rise of point to 60 per cent in the Youngstown district steel rate and improve | ment car loadings for leading
 roads for the wek ended April IA. The stock market opened steady
 and dull. It was dull throughout the day. Prices firmed around noon, moved erratically for a time
 in the early afternoon, and then l advanced in nearly all sections.
 There was nothing to bring in buy
 CTS, but with selling out of the
 way, the list was considered in an
 improved technical position and
 therefore ready to appreciate on
 light buying orders.
 l Traders paid more attention to
 grains than to stocks. Other com
 modities moved narrowly. Cotton
 was down slightly most of the
 day, while silver and rubber fu-
 lures registered small gains. The
 dollar fiuctuated in a narrow range
 in terms of foreign exchange.
 Bonds firmed after early irregular ity. U. s. governments were mixed. l Grain Prices Rallied Chicago. April 17-(UP)-After
 q frantic session in which traders
 fought to unload holdings on a | falling market, grain prices rallied | slightly from seasonal lows today
 on the closing of the Chicago board of trade.
