Tic library on part of the municipal
center between John Marshall place
and Sixth street on PENNSYLVANIA
avenue, although House conferees
must take the question back for a
separate House vote. The limit of
cost is s1,118O00.
While the amount of the relief
fund is still unsettled, the conferees
struck out the fiat limitation of $48
per month the House originally
placed on families on relief, home
care of dependent children and as
sistance to aged and blind persons
Instead, the conferees adopted the
following graduated schedule of pay
mentS:
For emergency Single per-
sons, not more than $24 month; a
family of two, not more than $50,
plus Sc for each additional dependent
under 16 but not to exceed $50 to
any one family.
Home care for dependent children

$50, with $6 for each additional

The House conferees accepted Sem

Department to read meters quar-

render bills Semi-annually.
Because several large items, IN

expenses cannot be estimated at this

raised to $40 172OOO, or net in

A hasty check today of the partial
agreement indicated the House group
has definitely agreed to about
100000 of this total difference, Ieav-

items unsettled.
In the compromise agreements, the
House accepted increases of about
100000 above original House figures

for teachers and $4,000 for build

Cassini's S ATTORNEY
Seeks Identity Of
Two in Case
Warrants to Be Sworn
As Soon as CoIumnist
Learns Their Names

Every effort will be made to
identify two unnamed members OF
the band that daubed Igor CaSSini
Washington chit-chat writer, with
tar and feathers in Warrenton, Va,
it was stated today by Charles
Henry Smith, the columnist's lawyer.
Mr.. Smith announced in Alex
andria that Mr. CaSSini would swear
out warrants against the pair as
soon as he was certain of identifi-
cation. The newspaper writer knows
the men by sight. Mr.. Smith said,
and is trying to learn their names.
Three men named by Mr. Cassini
as members of the ar-and-feather
party have been arrested and re-
leased on bond, pending action of
the Fauquier County grand jury in
September. They are Ian Mont
gomery, 3S; Colin Montgomery, %,
and Alexander Calvert, 81. They
pleaded innocent and waived hear
ing when they appeared before
Trial Judge B. Richard Glascock
yesterday.
Other Threats Reported.
Meanwhile, there were reports of
other threats against Mr.. Cassinl
should he return here.
Pretty Austine 'Bootsie' McDon-
nell, who accompanied the columnist
to- the dance from which he was
abducted, said that an anonymous
telephone call was received at her
home last night, carrying a warning
to Mr.. Cassini to stay out of this
town.
She said that an automobile be-
longing to her father, Maj. Austin
Mcdonnell, had been tampered with
yesterday and that it was believed
this was reprisal for his espousal
OF the columnist's cause. Mai. Nc
Donnell was almost involved in
hst fight yesterday with one of the
three men arrested on warrants
sworn out by Mr.. Cassini.
Defense Counsel w. H. Robertson
said meanwhile he believed there
was a $3.50 chance that the grand
jury would not indict the three men
accused of abducting Mr.. Cassini.
He said they all had alibis and add
ed that local feeling against the
columnist was strong.
Mr.. Robertson charged-and some
other local citizens echoed the SEN
timent-that Warrenton folk had
long been angered by remarks made
about them in the column.
Father Signs Bond.
Tho
turned late yesterday to surrender
and was released on a bond signed
by his father. Mr.. Robertson said
that an amendment to the law
under which the trio was charged
assault by mob"-made it pos
sible for punishment to be limited
to as little as a S. fine.
He said that the attack on Mr..
Cassini was simple assault, for
which the penalty ranges from S5
to $500. Mr.. Smith, on the other
hand, claimed that those who seized
the columnist had been guilty of a
felonious assault and were liable to
punishment ranging from l to 10
years in prison.
Mr.. Cassini is the grandson of
Count Arturo Cassini. Russian Am
bassador to the United States in
the Mckinley and Roosevelt admin
istrations. His mother, Marguerite
Cassinl, was a companion of Alice
Roosevelt LongWorth in the days at
the turn of the century.
The Cassini family fled Russia
during the revolution and lived
abroad for many years before COM
ing to Washington.

Stock Averages
BY VICTOR EUBANK.
Associated Press Financial Writer.

NEW YORK, April 29.--Buying or
selling incentives were scarce in to-
days stock market and leading issues
generally stumbled over slightly
irregular route.
Scattered recoveries were in evi-
dence at the close. with steels and
motors coming back for modest ad-
vances, but minus signs were also
plentiful Transfers appropriated
175,000 shares for the two hours,
After an overnight struggle to put
together the European crossword
puzzle, as posed in Hitlers lengthy
speech of yesterday, most traders
threw up their hands in despair and
decided to remain in neutral terri
tory.
Informed opinion in Wall Street
still held to the belief that. while
war scares may continue to put
shivers into world markets, no real
armed explosion is likely now. The
thought was expressed that the
Fuehrer, in his address to the
Reichstag answering the Roosevelt
peace plea. had left the door open a
trif1e for an amicable settlement of
the Nazi demands.
The domestic business and po-
litical picture again displayed few
highlights from a market standpoint.
Despite signs of tagging operations
in the steel field. due partly to the
soft-coal tieup. it was suggested
stocks in this category may have dis
counted temporary setbacks. United
States Steel and Bethlehem received
support after an early dip.
Helpful was the estimate of the
Secretary of Labor that building
permit valuations in March were A
per cent higher than in the same
month year ago and l8 per cent
better than February. Residential
construction jumped 10 per cent
from 1898.
Prices of securities at Amsterdam,
the only important foreign market
open today, turned downward in
quiet dealings.
Inclined to revive at the finish
were General Motors. Chrysler.
United States Rubber. Montgomery
Ward. Consolidated Edison. Santa
Fe. Union Carbide. Allied Chemical
and Eastman Kodak.
In, difficulties most of the time
were American Telephone, Interna-
tional Nickel. General Electric.
Westinghouse, Sperry, Goodyear and
Du Pont.
In a sluggish curb market Amer
ican Cyanamid 'B' and Arkansas
Natural Gas "a" were marked up
fractionally. Lockheed tipped back.

NEW YORK, April 29.-For the
three months ended in March, earn
ings of the first ITS large corpora
tions to report totaled $259, ,636 900.
an increase of 78 per cent over the
corresponding period last year, sta
tistics compiled by the Associated
Press disclosed today.
Automobiles showed the largest
rise of any group as earnings of four
companies, heavily weighted by Cen
eral Motors and Chrysler, advanced
to $65,O14,000 from s7,0S6,OOO a year
ago.
A net profit of $12.651 900 for 20
steel companies, against a deficit OF
s2,272,000 in the 1888 period indicates
that the industry is once more out
of the red.
Other groups showing marked i'm
provement were chemicals, railroads,
auto accessories and building mate
rials.
Inc OIL industry ran contrary to
the general uptrend as earnings of
eight companies felt the pressure of
oVer-production and lower prices and
dropped to 81 485 900, compared with
s9'3oo, 900 last year. Net profits of
four flnance companies and five
manufacturers of heavy machinery
