LIQUOR BILL IS
 BADLY SHAKEN
 BY DRY FORCES
Drinking Over Bars Was Handled Without Gloves
 and Is Dead

Hartford, Conn, June 1 - (UP) The liquor bill was back in the senate today, shorn of its provi- sions to permit sale of hard liquor by the drink in cafes and over the bar in restaurants, hotels and clubs. Working late nto he night the house revamped the liberal clauses passed by the senate and by vote of 122-4O elimianted cafes and vot- ed 13O-3S to knock out the bar features. However, an amendment to permit hotels and restaurants to sell by the drink with meals and leaving approval up to local option, was carried 14S-25.
 Amendments were defeated which would have permitted sale of package liquor in grocery stores: prohibit sale of bottled b ger in grocery stores; allow sale of liquor on election days after closing oi the polls. Protection was given communities now dry by providing local option on the question ot sale. The cafe provision and res taurant, hotel and club bar amend. ments originated in the senate which now must vote to reconsidei its former action, adhere to its vote or ask for a committee oi conference to compromise the diff. ferences between the two houses
 The cafe permit was the princi. pal battle-ground and with the house forcibfy expressing It's atti. tude toward what 1t feared a re. turn of the old-time saloon chances of smoothing over this controversial issue appeared slim inasmuch as only four avs re. nained of the session. Also, 1t was problematicai whether the gover. nor would veto a bill sponsoring bar sales. In a special message sen to the judiciary committee a monti ago he urged prompt report of { bill to permit ample time for pub lie reaction on liberalizing the con trol act.
 The Judiciary reported It's bil after a public hearing at " hicl drys turned out full force to CT. down the saloon proposals. Of thu original bill little was left. Be tween the senate and house g. amendments gave it . complete face-lifting. The high fee system was one of the features to survive the reconstruction.

Limited Press Financial E01tOF)
 New York, June 1---(UP)-The supreme court proved the chief factor in the market this week as its ruling against MIRA brought nervousness into stocks and conn nodities. accentuated by President Roosevelt's views on the situation.
 First effects of the supreme court ruling were not too severe. Then prices dropped rather mark. edly Tuesday, held comparatively well Wednesday and then broke again on Friday after the president revealed much of new deal iegis- lation, particularly the AAA might be wrecked.
 This statement broke the mar kets at the weekend with stock prices 1 to more than points lower, wheat prices off more than 4 cents a bushel in some cases and cotto mas much as $500 a bale lower.
 There was, however. a fairly temperate undertone. Traders be. lieved the supreme court ruling would be favorable to industry and markets in the long run but pre-. ferred to wait until the administra- ton announces it's program.
 Traders also had to worry about the French financial and political situation. The cabinet of Premier Pierre Etienne Flandin, committed to the gold standard and against deyaluation despite demnad for re. duction of the franc, fell in a chamber of deputies test.
 Prior to the supreme court rule ing railroad shares on the stock market made a good showing as traders awaited President Roose- velt's transportation message to congress. expected to contain some- thing agreeable to the railroads. This message no wappears to be delayed.
 The utility group also made it. ; self popular, rising against a down. ward trend. Investment demand came in as traders believed dras- tic parts of the Wheeler -Rayburn bill might be found unconstitu. tional and also believed that the MIRA ruling might result in lower operating costs for the utility com panies. The Dow, Jones utility average went to new highs for the year on Tuesday and Wednesday and receded only slightly in the late selling Friday. Many issues made new 1884 highs and Consol- idated Gas finished the week with a Rain of more than . point while American Telephone had a frac. tionai gain.
 Losses in the remainder of the list were fairly general and in- cluded declines of to points and more in the silver issues. a break faround points in lead. ing copper shares. This latter was purely an NRA reaction as copper companies reportedly have benefited well by the MIRA pro- gram. Tobacco shares also broke while chemical shares showed con. siderable decline.

WOOL MARKET

Boston, June (UP)-The volume of sales in the Boston wool market the past week ordinarily would be considered fair, but in contrast to that of recent weeks it was very slow, according to to- days report of the U. $. agriculture department.
 Prices continued to advance on Monday but with the subsequent drop in demand. the price rise halted and toward the close of tho week small quantities of wool were available at prices somewhat lower than the peak of the rise. Recent quotations on graded strict iy combing Ohio and similar bright fleeces were 30-31 cents in the grease on fine, 5Ss, eos, 1s blood, and ASS, sos, X blood. and 30-32 cents on 56s. B blood. Average 10 good French combing GAS and finer territory wools in original bags sold at around 70 cents, secured basis, although now some lots are vailable at 6S-7 0cents.

the apparent success in forming a new cabinet which will have Joseph Caillaux as finance min- ister. The French Franc firmed in foreign exchange trading as a result.
 One group stood out prominent- ly in the welter of lower prices on the Stock Exchange-silver shares, American Smelting firmed a point to 41 1-2. U. S. Smelling was al- most points higher above 108. C~rro de Pasco and Howe Sound also showed strength.
 Weakness was evident in sugar issues which accompanied the break yesterday in sugar futures. Cuban American preferred was points lower while issues such as American Sugar Refining, Central Agulrre. Great Western and South Porto Rlcan were more than a point lower.
 Tobacco shares were easy with losses of a point or more in Ameri. can tobacco, American snuff and Liggett & Myers B.
 Leading industrials were lower. American Can and Air reduction had losses of a point or more. Chrysler was point lower. U. $. Steel dropped below S1 and then firmed. DuPont also had sub- stantial loss. Wider moving issues in the industrial group included International Business Machines which at 16s was off points.
 Scattered support was noted in Utilities on reports investment de- mand was high, but the group as whole registered losses of frac- tions to more than point. Rails were easy. Mercantile shares and farm equipments which suffered in Fridays break, continued weak but were not very active.
 Volume approXimated 6SO,0OO shares compared with 490,00O shares last Saturday. Curb sales were 112,000 shares compared with lSl,OOO shares last Saturday.
 Dow lines preliminary closing averages showed industrial 109.74 off 0.90. railroad 30.4S off 0.2O, utility 20.03 off O.21.

 The 50-hour work week bill for women, which permitted 55 hours during peak employment, was ait the maximum to 4S hours. with no provision for extending the hours during rush seasons.
 Billboard Fate In Senate.
 The fate of Rep. Helen Kitchell's s outdoor billboard txation bill, which rode. through the house af- ter being reported unfavorably by committee, rested with the senate.
 It provided for high permit fee and moving billboards farther back from the highways in rural sections.
 The senate voted to extend the courses at New Haven, Danbury and Willimantic state normal schools to four years, bringing those schools up to the standards of the Teachers college at New Britain.
 Meanwhile the governor signed the bill permitting public display of daylight saving time.
 Democrats Bitter
 The governors nomination of two republicans as milk adminis- trator and welfare commission mo- mentarily caught democrats off balance.
 They were prepared to bitterly oppose confirmation in both hous- es.
 The nomination of Former Agri- culture Commissioner s. Mclean Buckingham, Watertown, as milk administrator aroused a number of infiuentiaf groups in the milk industry which had supported Morton E. Pierpont, Waterbury. The fight over Buckingham's ap- pointment and that of Former U. s. Senator Frederlc c. Walcott, Norfolk, as welfare commissioner. will center in the senate. where democrats hope to win over the three socialist senators and gain a majority to block confirmation. making possible recess appoint ment of democrats.

 New York, June 1~-(UP)-The stock market today displayed fur. ther nervousness over the future of the new deal legislative program and dropped to losses extending to a points.
 The market was weak and fairly active at the opening, blocks up to $500 shares appearing. After initial losses prices steadied. and trading for the remainder of the session turned quiet.
 It was a market entirely of con. fusion and uncertainty. Cotton was slightly higher. Wheat had losses of around 2 cents a bushel and other grains were at seasonal lows. The sugar market--which broke 50 sharply Friday--was closed as the summer Saturday holidays were inaugurated.
 The bond market likewise failed to show much incentive. Recovery in French issues-with gains up to II points--was the chief fea- ture. The strength was based on

AGENTS ON THE TRAIL

AGENTS ON THE TRAIL
 Washington, June 1.-(UP)- Release of young George Weyer- haeuser near Tacoma was the sig nal today for the federal bureau of investigation to begin one of its most intensive hunts in years for the kidnapers who held the child for ransom for a week.
 Every resource of the depart ment is available for the case" said J. Edgar Hoover, chief of the bu- reau. "Other cases will be super seded if necessary.
 Ut may be day. It may be a week. It may be year before we capture the kidnapers-but we are going to capture them."
 Hoover said the first concern was safety and return of the child and when that was accomplished it was the signal for a nationwide hunt.
 He said that information con about the Kidnapping itself would have to come from the family of the child; that his bureau would have nothing whatever to say. Nor would he comment upon the num- bers reports that notorious gang sters may have had q part in the abduction. The reports mentioned Al Karpis, Volney Davis. and Thomas H. Robinson, Jr., among others who may have had part in the crime.
 Hoover indicated that it was too early for the federal men to be saying anything.
