STOCK SHARES AT NEW LOWS ON MOVEMENT Easier Money and Lower Rediscount Rate Fail 10 Hold Majority.

Average Stock Prices

Average of thirty industrials for Thursday w*s 274 59. off 4.64. Aierage of twenty rails was 140 68, off 4 40.

Hu T'nitcd Prrm NEW YORK, May 2.—The stock market failed to respond to easier money and a lower New York rediscount rate today.

Industrials Sag Other industrial leaders, however, failed to follow Steel and their prices sagged from 1 to nearly 4 points, the most sever in Westinghouse Electric.

Many of the professional bulls were working for lower prices to place new- lines before another advance sets in. As usual in an irregular market, further talk of poor business was heard, despite the optimistic outlook given by President Hoover on the extent of the recovery in industry since autumn and the prospects of the continuance of this advance. Makes Wide Arcs Early selling in United States Steel was a result of the reduction in wire prices by a United States Steel Corporation subsidiary. A reduction had been expected, and this one was believed to be a trial balloon by the Steel Corporation to test oui the condition of the market. If it proves adaptable to the present status, other cuts in a variety of products are expected to follow quickly. High priced shares went through wide arcs. Around noon losses of 5 to 7 points were substituted for early gains in such expensive shares as J. I. Case, Eastman Kodak, Peoples Gas and Allied Chemical. Other Livestock Hu United Press FT WAYNE.

In the Stock Market

(Bv Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK, May 2.—More or less expected was the reduction in New York rediscount rate, but as much can hardly be said for the increase in the brokers’ loan totals. While new bond financing may account partially for the expansion, the theory is rather confirmed that there has been distribution by strong holders. Opinions differ as to the effect of cheaper credit. Business revival may not necessarily follow immediately, as trade has not been suffering on this score. There is no disputing the fact that cheap money serves as a comfortable background. As to the future of business, perhaps nothing is more reassuring than the words of President Hoover before the National Chamber of Commerce last night. The action of the stock market has clearly indicated the extent of public disappointment over the failure of business to meet expectations. Aparently to revive public interest to an active degree, the incentive we feel must come from within business. Births Boys Angel and Parichla, Christian diaries and Edith Bonwell.

RUSS DEPRIVED OF VOTES FOR SILLY REASONS Absurd, Illegal Pretexts Are Used to Disfranchise Red Citizens. Bv United Press MOSCOW. May 2.—Great injustice by local functionaries in depriving persons of their franchise—a more serious lo>ss in this country than anywhere else in the worldare charged by no less authoritative a Soviet leader than Abel Enukidze, secretary of the central executive committee of the country. Disfranchisement here means exclusion from the trades union and consequently the menace of starvation. Expulsion From Homes Until a recent decree removed these disabilities, it also meant the danger of expulsion from their homes, denial of food rations, exclusion of their children from schools and similar discriminations. Among the absurd and illegal causes for which people have been disfranchised Enukidze in a recent article lists the following: In one district all persons over 65 years old were adjudged unfit to vote. In another all girls of 20 years or older but still unmarried were placed in the category of “nuns” and therefore denied the franchise. Rent Too High People were disfranchised because they received as low as 15 rubles a month in rent or other capitalistic fashion. In Kazakstan three persons lost their vote because “they may in the future employ hired labor.” In Riazan a citizen was disfranchised on the ground that he “desires to trade.” In other cities disfranchisement included persons who were “scan-dal-mongers,” “sang in church choirs,” received alimony,” etc. Enukidze even cites an extreme case in which all the church goers in a village were deprived of their vote. FINAL AGREEMENT ON BRIDGES TO BE DRAFTED Highway Commission Members Leave for Frankfort (Ky.) Session. Following a conference with At-torney-General James M. Ogden this morning, representatives of the state highway commission left for Frankfort, Ky., to draft the final agreement between Indiana and Kentucky for construction of the $4,000,000 Evansville bridge. The agreement must reach Washington Monday for approval of the United States supreme court, Ogden said. The two states will share equally in construction costs, but Kentucky has the privilege of collecting its investment through tolls. This plan was approved by the supreme court recently in a friendly suit which ended all litigation. Those going to Frankfort are Chairman Albert J. Wedeking of the state highway commission: William J. Titus, chief engineer, and Connor Ross of the attorney-gen-eral’s office.
