MARKET EASES,
PIVOTAL ISSUES
DROP SLIGHTLY
Motors, Metals, Rails
Down in Slow Trading
By LESLIE GOULD

NEW YORK, Feb. 2s UN.s),
The stock market eased slightly
in today's typical Saturday seS
sion, with trading at an extreme
ly slow pace and changes in most
instances of insignificant proper
tions.
The list was irregularly higher
at the opening but most pivotal
issues were behind minus signs at
the final bell.
NEW LOW AND HIGH
Two low-priced issues accounted
for q considerable portion Of the
sessions volume. Armour common
dipped fractionallly to q new low
for the year, reflecting the divi.
dend omission, while International
Telephone reached a new 1888 top
in an extension of its recent sharp
advance. Armour prior preferred
cracked 7 points, also to q new
low.
MOTORS, RAILS DOWN
Motors, coppers and steels all
were under previous closing levels.
Rails slipped irregularly lower.
Commodities displayed easier
tendencies, with grains losing frac-
tionally and cotton dipping a few
points.
Bonds were firm, particularly
an active foreign list.
Amsterdam, the only major for
eign market open today, was
higher.

BUSINESS LIFE IN NEW ENLCAND
Weekly Survey Issued To- day Shows Improvement
 Along All Lines

Boston, July 21-(UP)-The re- cent improvement in New England's E major industries, noticeable first ir the textile line, has been followed by good seasonal recoveries in shoes and leather, according to Dun and Bradstreet's weekly survey of busi- ness conditions.
 This latter improvement is now spreading slowly to other lines ot business. However, Yreignt-car load ings on principal New England lines have not yet reflected the business upturn.
 Retail Trade Advances
 In the last week, in spite of many rainy days, retail trade continued its advance and in the week ended July g sales were only 2 per cent below the corresponding week last year. June employment in Massa- chusetts retail establishments was Fl per cent below June, 1897. Whole sale employment dropped 4.9 per cent.
 As wholesale orders have in- creased slightly less caution has been observed in placing orders for future fulf1llment.
 For the week ending July 2 load ings of freight cars were 9 per cent below the corresponding week of 1887.
 Agriculture
 Agricultural output for Massachu- sets will equal or exceed the 10 year high, according to latest estimates, with the exception of tobacco, apples anpd peaches. Althuogh the potato acreage is per cent below 1937 the crop, it was estimated, will ex- ceed the 10 year average by 22.6 per cent. The Connecticut valley tobacco crop is expected to be 6.6 per cent above that of 1887.
 Cotton Mills Gain
 New England cotton mills gained 20 to 8 per cent in production dur ing the first five months of 1888 and during recent weeks have made further increases, small mills as well as larger units benefittnig Raw cotton prices have advanced but most New England mills have suff1- cient stocks to meet the present in- creasing demand.
 With cotton goods demand on the upgrade, demand for woolens and worsted goods has been slow ma terializing but has made some im- provement. Some producers this week advanced prices to 10 cents a yard.
 Retailers have done good hoe business and have purchased freely to meet current needs. Further price advances on finished shoes are ex- pected.

JUDGES MAY BE.
 PROBED IN PENN.
Governor Earle Calls Spe- cial Session of Legisla-
 ture to Hit Grand Jury

Harrisburg, Pa, July 21-UP)- A showdown battle between the legistive and executive branches of judicial, on the one hand, and the the Pennsylvania state government on the other was foreshadowed to- day as the assembly prepared to meet in special session Monday night.
 Governor George H. Earle called the special session to forestall 8 projected grand jury investigation of graft charges against his admin istration.
 The program of the session, how ever, may be extended to include proposals for an investigation of the judiciary, which several times has nullified reform legislation spon- sored by the states first Democratic administration in A years.
 High officials of the Earle admin istration intimated that the house might even consider impeachment of judges who have consistently voted against the governors little new deal"
 In calling the special session Earle said constitutional govern ment is in jeopardy in our common wealth today as the result of the un-. precedented attempt of the judiciary to assume overlordship of the execu- tive department, and of its attempt ed usurpation of the prerogatives of the legislature"

 Or take the case of the poultry dealer in eastern Connecticut who made the statement, stuck to it, and was later stuck with it, that he handled his business with the help, only, of his son. Since he had less than five employees, he would not be liable for the unem- ployment compensation tax.
 But like Hamlet, the investigator decided something was might bad. His suspicious were substantiated when he visited the farm after ngihtfall and found five large trucks, all bearing the employers name. At least Is workers were in the vicinity engaged in the boss business.
 Trenchant search disclosed the fact that he grossed at least million dollars annually and for the year in question had made total bank deposits of approxi- mately $800,000. He now pays the state tax.

 Town clerks and postmasters frequently aid when the investi- gator has a puzzle he can't put together. As indicated above, an applicant will often garble and an employers name so much that the labor department man has to proceed by occupation listed.

The grand jury had been waiting since last Thursday for him to appear and make his defense, if any, to charges that he had been taking sums ranging from $5 900 up from persons whom he had prom ised to help get liquor licenses and concessions at the Worlds Fair.

No bed of roses, but a kind of hybrid research combining the academic spots of Sherlock Holmes" career with the vagaries of hare-and-hound chase is now and again the lot of those who go down to see with slips, as field investigators of the state la Dor departments unemployment compensation division.
 In time, it's true, the job may be more humdrum but at present the novelty of the law through which people draw job insurance makes for the odd and unusual.
 Trouble Shooters
 And it's when those same odd and unsual heave in sight, that one of Commissioner Joseph M. Tones investigators is despatched to the scene if he can find it.
 Just lately to apply a bit of chiaroscuro, worker sans job, made claim for benefits writing in the designated space that he had been employed by the "Orris Foundation" Well and good until the claim got to the central office to be viewed by puzzled eyes. A thorough search, of records reveal cd no trace of the "Orris Founda- tion." The investigator could not find it in the directories, either city or telephone.
 Then the investigator got in touch with the claimant, but the latter remained firm in his state ment. He even offered to take the investigator to meet his old boss, The sleuth went along and sure enough there was company but 1t was styled for all to see, "The Foundry"
 Another unemployed claimant was unswerving in his belief that his last employer had been the "Silas Deane Highway" thor oughfare to the south of Hartford. This was something of revela- ton to the investigator assigned, but he stuck to his last and got to the bottom of 1t.
 The applicant for compensation, 1t was finally discovered, had been On the payroll of construction firm, engaged in erecting fence along the highway.

boSSlSm in the United States. What happens to Pendergast may very well happen to other bosses--be it repudiation or endorsement.
 Pendergast is making an issue of the contest for a state supreme court judgeship by supporting Cir cult Judge James V. Billings of Bennett against Judge James M Douglas of St. Louis, who was named to the court last year by Gov Lloyd Stark.
 There are two big reasons Pen dergast wants to win this fight:
 l. He wants to demonstrate to one and all that Missouri democ- racy is behind him, that the vote fraud revelations cost him no more prestige outstate than in Kansas City, where he pulled through with smashing victory in the municipal elections this spring. 2. Even more important to Pen dergaSt is his desire to give Gov ernor Stark spanking"
 HASN'T SHOWN
 GRATITUDE
 Stark rode into office in 1886 on a wave of votes washed up by the PendergaSt machine. Then last year he began firing Pendergast men. This of course made his spon- sor very unhappy and Pendergast now admits that he is out to get Stark politically.
 The word around the capitol here is that Pendergast would have back cd almost any competent jurist from heavily Democratic southeast Mis- souri. Apparently the boss has noth- ing against Douglas except that he is a Stark man.
 Right now Billings seems to be out in front. He will run well in his home section and in northeast Missouri where he grew up. The Kansas City machine is certain to deliver a big vote and this will be bolstered by the followings of lesser outstate politics who usually go along with Pendergast and who resent what they believe to be a high-handed attitude toward them on the governors part.
 FEW HEADS
 STICKING UP
 The St. Louis machine, which normally follows Pendergast's lead, is supporting Douglas, but isn't very loud about it. Douglas is the lone St. Louis representative on the court and the St. Louisans think he ought to stay.

Natick, Mass, July 21-(UP)- The Bizarre alleged masquerade of a woman as Marshall w. Hoyt was complicated further today by dis closure that He" and Mrs. Grace T. Himebaugh obtained wedding license at Boston city hall in 1922 never reported whether they had married.
 The license application gave Hoyt's birthplace as New York city, but the certificate recording "his" death March stated that The" was born in Ossining, N. Y, the birthplace of Miss Georgianna White Wilson, which niece and nephew contend was This real name
 Eugenia E. Wackerhuth of East Port Chester, Conn, and J. Gilbert Wilson of Stamford, Conn, the niece and nephew, are contesting "Hoyt's" will, which left "his" en- tire estate to Mrs. Himebaugh, on grounds that the deceased could have left no wife since "he" was a woman.

 Friends have said that MT. and Mrs. Hoyt' were married 10 years ago, but investigators have been unable to find any record of the marriage.
 Dr. Wallace Hamilton, who sign ed "Hoyt's" death certificate and treated "him" eight years for a heart ailment, telephoned Police Chief Thomas Evans yesterday from his vacation retreat at Booth bay Harbor, Me.
