MAIN BODY OF 1 STOCKS HOLD AT OPENING • Special Issues Depressed by Overnight Developments Affecting Them. Average Stock Prices Average price Os twenty industrial stocks. 118.07 up 1.32. Average price ol twenty rails. 04.29, up .35. R'i United Press NEW YORK, April 2.—Strength was maintained by the main body of stocks In the early dealings, but the special issues were depressed by overnight developments affecting them. Wall Street apparently looked on the retirement of E. L. Doheny from the Pan-American Petroleum and Transport Company as an adverse factor in view of the fact that he was the man who built up the properties. Asa consequence Pan American B dropped to 74%, off more than 4 points from the previous session’s high. Wilson preferred broke to 27, against yesterday’s high of 34 1 / £, reflecting publication of its reorganisation plan, which leaves the first mortgage bonds undisturbed, but ealls for readjustment of other capital obligations. Continued irregularity in the late morning fostered renewed attempts to wor kprices down and the general list again turned heavy around noon. Wilson preferred's bad break on the announcement of the company’s reorganization plan attracted bearish attention to St. Paul preferred, which was forced back to 9, within a fraction of its record lows. Successes of this kind by groups 'working for a reaction exercised a depressing effect on Wall Street sentiment, and the conviction spread that prices were destined to work back to their recent lows, causing a marked increase in short commitments in stocks like Baldwin, American Can, General Electric and other issues which had been found vulnerable in the recent drives. Local Bank Clearings Thursday's bank clearinß-s amounted to $2,626,000 Bank debits were $5,575,000.

■BE YOURSELF,’ IS ADVICE OF HONOR STUDENT

NEW HAVEN. Conn., April 2. —The simple lesson that Talc’s "wonder student” would pass on to his fellows Is this: "Be yourself! Keep your sense of humor! You can be a digger and also have a good time!” And by his versatile achievements Frank Davis Ashburn, 22, has managed to oust the old notion that to gain scholarly distinction means to grind constantly and to seem deadly serious. Here are some of the varied honors won by "the best allround student”: 1. He is a good athlete and is one of the baseball stars. 2. In the senior questionnaire he was voted variously: "the most popular man,” "the most studious” and “the classman who has done most for Yale.” 3. He writes poetry—verse that carries promise—writes essays and short stories and newspaper copy; is versed in the arts to an extent that would let him pass for an esthete. He won the college poetry prize in his sophomore year. 4. He is a fighter, having carried on a campaign in the college newspaper against putting certain buildings on the campus—and won. 5. He is the only winner of the Rhodes scholarship, and thus entitled to attend Oxford, England. 6. He enjoys dances and the social activities of college life and believes in a good time.

7. He is modest about his achievements, almost to the point of shyness. Regarding all of which he remarks: "The interests of students are becoming more varied. Apparently it once was the ease that a man went in for athletics or for grind and went up on an individual record. It's silly to believe that a fellow can’t balance his college diet and get along well in all of them. Dozens of men in Yale are doing it with a considerable degree of success, and I think that more and more there is a tendency to vary the activities.” The "wonder student” had his beginnings In the little red schoolhouse.” His birthplace Is Batavia, Ohio, and, in his childhood, two trains came in dally. Since his father was an Army man young Ashburn was trotted around quite a bit, going variously to the Philippines, San Francisco and Montana. It is to Batavia he goes, however, in vacation time. It was by that this varied schooling had something to do with his varied tastes, but Ash’>urn doesn't reason that way. He doesn't attempt to find a “reason why.” If. he reasons, you really are Interested, observant and Intelligent enough to know how to take advantage of opportunities and "breaks” and "remain yourself”—• that is sufficient. What does the "wonder student” expect to do with his "best scholarship?” "Write and teach,” he quickly answers. “As soon as I 'know enough I’m going to try a novel. Meanwhile I’ll content myself with verses, articles and magazine mtterlai.”

CHAPMAN TRIES TO CINCH ALIBI ft'ontlimed From Page 1) surance of a man walking across the room for a glass of water, stepped to the witness stand. Chapman hardly changed expression. Gives Name “My name in Gerald Chapman," he testified, and the crowd loaned forward as if at last satisfied that this man was really the “prlnco of crooks” and the center of all the excitement. He admitted he knew Walter Shean, saying he met him last June. “I never was in New Britain, Conn., in my life,” lie answered with a steady voice, looking straight into the eyes of his lawyer. “Were you in a store in New Britain that was robbed the night of Oct. 12?" came the question. “No, certainly not; I say I was never in New Britain In my life.” Alibis Given Francis M. Grew, bank clerk and John A. Martin and Lyle Christane all have testified the master bandit was in Brooklyn a few hours before the murder. Other defense witnesses included two policemen and a nurse who testified they had heard Skclly, on his death bed, name Walter Shean of Springfield, as the man who shot him. Shean was the State’s star witness. Henry Johnson, New Britain hostler, testified ho saw Shean and his companion the day of the murder and that Chapman was not the man. Alcorn Cross-Examines In rapid-fire order Chapman’s lawyers then led him through a categorical denial of all the things that have been charged against him. “Where were you on the night of Oct. 12?” he was asked. “I was In Springfield and Holyoke, Mass.," Chapman answered. “3 took a train and went to New York and 1 was in New York and Brooklyn that night.” When State's Attorney Hugh M. Alcorn arose to begin his questioning Chapman’s “poker face” was still set. Almost at the first question Chapman became sarcastic—but quiet and unruffled. “When you were arrested In Muncie, Ind., why did you shoot?” Alcorn snapped at Chapman. “I wanted to frighten them and, besides, I had several thousand dollars on my person," Chapman came back. Visit to Muncie Alcorn asked for details of his visit to Muncie. “These little things may mean a lot to you, but they mean nothing to me,” was Chapman’s explanation of ability to remember some of them and of his careless attitude towards others. He was asked to tell where he had been at certain times in certain cities. “You must redliieo, ivti. Aii-ein.' 1 Chapman answered in a highly patronizing manner, “that it is obviously imposible for me to locate myself at a certain time as I have been leading a rather hectic life the last two years.” The courtroom crowd enjoyed immensely Chapman’s quiet sarcasm and watched closely the discomfiture of the questioner. Alcorn hurled question after question, designed to bring out the past life of Chapman, but Chapman avoided every question in this regard and yielded no light on the mystery of who he is. Attorney Groehl objected to Alcorn’s questions but Chapman interrupted his attorney, saying, “oh, let him go ahead. I’ll give him the information he wants.” CITY MANAGER WORKERS BUSY (Continued From Page 1) city’s business, because they saw no way to put a stop to it, it is not surprising that the laboring people have also quietly submitted, even in the face of the most brazen violations of common fairness and honesty on the part of city officials, “the letter to labor groups said. “The man who goes back and forth to work every day is likely to think ‘What difference does rotten politice make to me?’ Incompetent city management affects every person in Indianapolis. “The $45,000,000 which the city spends every year someone has to earn. It is produced by human toil in factory, store and office. When taxes are raised year after year, largely because of mismanagement, two things happen. Our own personal taxes Increase and the cost of doing business increases, which raises prices to you. Politicians Opposed “The business men of Indianapolis are united for a city manager government, because the man who manages the city’s business will be required to get results, and not pay political debts. “Os course, the politicians are against it, because the minute it goes in they lose control of spending the $45,000,000 every year. Now the city manager plan does just what we say it does. If it didn’t we wouldn’t want it. We will be glad to furnish you a list of 300 cities operating under this plan. “In this committee you will find people in whom you have confidence men and women from every walk of life, the only requirement being that each and every member care more for Indianapolis than he does for city politics.” NEW CHURCH PLANNED Methodist Bodies to Consider Organization Sunday.
