fDawes Plan Is
(EBackedFully
KNEW YORK. April 23.—President
Coolidge came here yesterday with a
powerful antidote for political hys-
teria. Before the annual luncheon
of the Associated Press at the Wal-
t» dorchstoria—and before the largest .
radio audience ever previously to
hear a. human .voice simultaneously
—he reviewed the political history
of tilt country since the war and
found it on the mend.
7 For the future he gave definite
promises. He said he hoped Amer-
ican. private bankers would share in
the loan provided under the Dawes
plan for the settlement of the Ger-
man reparation tangle. and he pro-
mised that should that tangle be
settled he would take the lead in
calling an international conference
for further disarmament.
International conferences, he said.
bring about international under-
standing and international under-
standing is the surest guarantee of
future peace. This he declared
while disciaimlng any ability to
frame a formula for the solution of
the world's problems.
But for the Washington confer-
ence and its results he claimed
much: he claimed more for Secre-
tary Hughes in holding before the
eyes of the world the program of
settling repar 0115 through the
0 work of non-political exports. the
plan now before the nations of
Europe largely through the good
offices of Gen. Dawes. Owen D.
Young and Henry M. Robinson.
The State of Trade
Cross-currents in trade and indus-
gry render general characterization
extremely dithcult. Retail business.
aided by rather better weather and
the Easter buying urge, has improv—
ed at most, not all. markets. reports
Bradstreets. In turn. jobbing trade
for spring has been helped by reor-
ders from retailers in apparel lines
The lateness of the season has not
been entirely made 1111'). however. and
some centers of the middlewcst and
south report business below last year
at this date. and certainly below ex-
pectations, which have been keyed.
perhaps. too highly. Caution and
conservation rule as regards future
buying. and competition for what
business offers tends to reduce pro-
fits, already cut by the piece-meal
nature of much of the past buying.
While building is active. March and
the first quarter's totals of permits
and accompanying values breaking
all records of the past. supplies of
materials offered seem to be rather
in excess of requirements. while la-
bor costs are apparently higher than
ever. In ordinary manufacturing
industries, steel, automobiles. tox-
tilcs. shoes. furniture, jewelry and
coal mining outputs seem to have
slowed down. or at best not in-
creased. giving an appearance of
raggedncss to these branches. Small
swings. long noticeable in. the specu-
lative markets, seem to find their
counterparts in the industries. both
as regards buying and prices.
With all the drawbacks. however,
a. fully fair volume of trade is pass-
ing. whose rcal proportions are ob-
scured by irrcmnaritics inseparable
from the latcncsspf the season and
the other causes which prevent
clearcut comparisons with other
years. '
Among the conspicuously dc-
prcssed lines. coal. especially the
bituminous'hranch, is notable. Some
leaders of the minors place the to-
tal of unemployed in that trade at
65.000. and there are fairly (infinite
reports of 5.5.000 men being on
strike. A slight gain among“ mines

conditions are more favorable. and
a gain in distribution has followed
the late cut of 50 cents in prices. In
the steel trade, features are open
recognition of recent reported price
reductions. a reduction of independ-
ent operations. and the shutting
down of additional furnaces: but, on
the other hand railroad buying has
been heavier. though that by auto—
mobile manufacturers has been low
than expected. Prices of scrap
metal tend to sag. and the nonfer-
rous metals are lower. In cotton
goods and silks sell better for im-
balanced by resumptions by other
mills. but buyers and sellers alike
are cautious owing to the swings in
prices of the raw material. Woolen
goods an dsilks sell better for im-
mediate delivery. while slow for the
further future. Raw silk is again
lower. In all three lines of textiles.
fancy lines and novelties seem to
manifest most activity.
Shoe trade reports are better in
the west. but not so good in the east.
In agricultural implements an en-
couraging feature. bre by excellent

Dr. Huntington repeated the story

to Coroner Phclan by Harry Jacob-

with the deceased in the Raybcstos
factory.
“I worked with Urban for eight
years." said Jacobson. “When he
first went to work. the office took
his name down as Jeseph Woodburn
and he was known asthis."
A question as to what the dc-
cessed's right name was arose in
Coroner Phclan's mind because the
farmer's operator's license was
slgned Joseph and not John.
Jacobsbn assured the coroner that
Urban was a. careful driver and.
while he drank. he never drank to

As he was called to the center of

white. He didn' t know whether he

him. ‘Then Wendell P. Milligan.

and presented him with a large box.
Tony opened the box hastily! He
did not know whether it was a

out to be a chest of silver. Tony

voice: "I thank you all.”

NORWALK 20
YEARS AGO
Many Norwalk cases were on the
docket for the May term of the
Court of Common Pleas twenty
years ago. according to The Sentinel
of April 23. 1904. Among them
was the $2.000 damage suit brought
by Anna Marie Johnson of South
Alain street against the Connecticut
Railway and Lighting company.
The item recording it reads:
"It will be recalled that some
tlmmago Mrs. Johnson. who was
formerly Mrs. God-o n. protested
very strenuously to the action of
the trolley company in locating a.
trolley pole in front of her house.
She cxpostulnted with them and flu-
ally wcnt.out and sat in the hole
'1 which had been dug for the pole.
She claims that she suffered mal—
treatment at the tends of the
trolley-people and that dirt was
thrown. on hot-and she became sick
as the rcsult of the excitement.‘
'Twenty years ago today two Nor-
? walkers figured in two slight eccl-
dcnts. Dr. A. H. Baldwin experi-
cnced a. "slight automobile acci-
dent” and “'iliiam L. Olsen. fell on
ins bicycle.
“Dr. A. H. Baldwin of Norwalk,
who has a. little Orient buckboard
automobile," the item states. “had
a slight accident yesterday after-
noon, which occurred at just. the
opportune time. The gasoline feed
pipe sprung a. leak and all of the
fuel ran to waste on the ground.
but the accident occurred near the
center of the city so that the motor
did not stop running until the doc-
tor was within a, few feet of a re-
pair station." '
“William L'. Olsen. the well known
shoe dealer," the item also reveals,
"had quite a severe fall from bi-
cycle whilc riding up “’cst avenue
yesterday afternoon. Mr. Olsenwss
carrying some packages _and lost
control of his wheel. The result was
that he was thrown heavily. injuring
his shoulder quite painfully. The
frame of the bike was buckled and
had to be taken. to a. repair shop to
be straightened, out."
Included among the other. items of
news which interested the residents
of Norwalk twenty years ago were:
“‘City Sherifl John J. Goodwin is
on duty at the. WM ashington street
bridge. while the pile driver is at
work. He.” keeping people out
of danger.- and straightening out
horses which become frightened at
the ‘machine while? it is working."
“JViIbur F. Smith of South Nor-
1k gave a lecture on "Our Native
Birds" in the Franklin street school
last evening under the auspices of
the Noryalk Bird and Audubon so~
ciety."
“William Gairney of Union street
3"
and H Plait of Elizabeth street
left 50 Nor-walk yesterday for the
purpose enlisting in the United
States Cavalry."
"The annual donation of the Grace
Baptist church of Norwalk was held
last night in Bed Men's hall.
“John Sherman Hoyt of Content-
I'ment island is out with. 9. fine new
automobile."
“The Epworth league of the Nor-
