Officer Gigliotti is sald to have tampered with a cigarette vending machine in a restaurant in the Rial- to building on Broad street, and Su- pernumerary Officers Spooner and Nolan have been summoned as wit- nesses.

Details anid method of operating are still to be decided, al- though three separate motions were made today destined to settle this question. The matter was brought up by Secretary James 15. O'Brien, who re- ported that he has been in confer- ence with officlals of the American Legion with a view to putting on a Joint frolic by the two organizations. A motion that this be done was made and passed. Later so many objec- tions to going outside of the Lion: club after the club has successful'y conducted its’ frolic for three years were made, that President George A. Quigley called for another vote. The sccond vote was almost unanimously in favor of making the 1929 frolic @ straight Lions’ club affair. A motion that a committee be ap- pointed to consider 1h-> advisability of the Lions’ club putting on a frolic was up for consideration, when an amendment that the Lions' club committee confer with the Ameri- can Legion before making its re- port, was offered. President Quig- ley at this point ruled that the issue was becoming confused and laid the whole action on the table for further consideration next meeting. The meeting was an All Lions af- fair with no outside speakers. Rgv. It. N. Gilman, chalrman of the fel- lowship committee presided. In or- der to provoke discussion of club problems, Rev. Mr. Gilman and Sec- retary O'Brien ofefred some fake letters contalning excuses for non- attendance, These letters were of- fered the club for general discussion. Although the meeting ran a eI hour overtime, the discussion wa not completed and will be continue, at a later meeting. ch man present was called upon to give his boyhood nickname. One or two men confessed with a sense of loss that they never had a nigk- name when they were small boys. Other names were typical of the mind of the boy and ranged all the way from “Mickic” to “Seaweed.” Rev, Mr. Giman called the roll of membership. During the calling of the roll it became apparent in & striking manner that the club has not followed the usual cf custom of dropping inactive mem- bers and many names were called of men who have not attended moetings for a long time. Of the original 18 charter members only eight were present, their places be- ing taken by younger members. W. Macomber was awarded & prize for a perfect attendance since last September. Music was furnish- ed by the Clef Male quartette and by Rudolph Lund. Real Estate News e e Warranty Cyrus * Scappelatti to Nicholas Ecappelatti. Clinton street.

Stewart as chairman of the board of the Standard Oil Co. of Indiana was claimed for John D. Rockefeller, today. Thomas M. Debevoise, manager of the Rockefcller campaign for proxies | to be voted at the annual meeting of the campaign March 7, said he be- Heved the Rockefeller group now has enough votes to swing the elec- tion. It is estimated that approximately 90 per cent of the total stock will be represented at the meeting and that control means the holding of more than 45 per cent of the proxics. ‘There are 9,232,000 shares of stock held by 68,000 stockholders. “Now we are trying to obtain a majority not only of the voling stock, but of the stockholders of the company,” Debevoise said. The fight by Stewart to retain his position in the company in defiance of Rockefeller which resolved itself into intensive drive on both sides for proxies has attracted wide-spread at- tention. The contest had its original in the | refusal of Stewart fo resign at the request of Rockefeller after the chairman had appeared before the senate committee investigating the Teapot Dome ojl leases. Testimony of Stewart concerning his relations with the Continental Trading Corp., displeased Rockefeller and the re- quest for his resignation followed. George K. Bowden, who has been handling Stewart’s proxy compaign In New York, sald he did not believe the Rockefeller group had enough proxies to control the election. *Although the Rockefeller group holds some enormous blocks it woukl be necessary for them to get thé cenormous amount of stock now with | brokers to obtaiff the necessary 4 per cent. This would be imposs ble before March 5, the date of rcc- ord,” Bowden said. The chiet source of the Rockefel- ler strength is believed to lie in the stock held by large estates, trust funds and similar holdings, while Stewart has claimed the support of the board of dircctors of the Indiana company and the stock held by cm- ployes of the company Special Masses Saturday At Holy Cross Church The Feast of Candlemas, which falls on Saturday, will be celebrated | at the Holy Cross church with two | masses, one at 6:15 and another at 9 o’clock in the morning. the services candles will be blessed.

Heavy accumulation of utili- | ties continued, however, several | reaching new high ground. | Call money mounted above 6 per | cent for the first time in nearly two weeks as loans were called in prep- aration for the month-end pay-| ments. The rate, increased to 7 per ed to go hfgher before the end of | the week. | Conflicting reports from London | indicated that between $4,000.000 and $5,000,000 in gold had been | taken for New York, but the opin- | ion gained ground in Wall street | that the Bank of England would soon act to prevent further losses, An increase in the Bank of England rediscount rate is regarded as likely this week.

GURB LIST WEAK WITH FEN GAINS {Continued Liquidation Pats Util ties Under Pressure New York, Jan. 29 (®—Pro- nounced weakness was shown by numerous issues on the curb market today under continued liquidation influenced apparently by the ir- regularity of the stock market and a belief that yesterday’'s wide ad- vances impaired the technical posi- tion, Buying was selective, but only a few issues made advances. Utilities bore the brunt of seclling pressure. Although there were inter- mittent rallies in this group, the trend was downward. Electric Bond & Share fluctuated between 243 and 251 in carly trading and around noon was selling at 247 1-4, or more Application General Electric again was in de- mand, but made only a small gain. Checker Cab was ene of the few strong spots, moving up 2 points inte new high ground above 73 on buying encouraged by announce- ment that net profit for 1928 is es- timated at $1,218,648, equal to §4.87 & share, against deficit of $283.314 in 1927. There was some buying of Zenith Radio on disclosure a new plant is to be bulit at Chicago to triple production. Marconi Interna- tional gained fractionally on reports the company would expand its ac- tivities into new European flelds and that because of the unusual number of ship disasters unfilled or- % | ders for direction finders and radio compasses have steadlly increased. Fox Theater, Aluminum company and Deere were among the weaker issues. Oils were heavy on announcement of further crude price cuts, Stand- ard of Indiana sold off another 2 points.
