New York, Nov. 21 remarkable change of sentiment has taken place in Wall Street quarters over the past week and a number of leading observers are beginning to wonder whether the recent drastic break in the Stock Market was only a technical reaction in a major bull market rather than the start of a bear market. One leading economist several several weeks ago ventured opinion that the country was in the throes of a bear market. However, subsequent developments do not bear out this opinion in the view of several old-timers. This week's series of conferences between President Hoover and various business leaders has gone a long way toward dispelling pessimism, and many leading executives have revised their opinions during the past week.

The Age, authority, notes this that restoration of conIron. steels fidence has been effected in the industry as a result of the manner in which the country withstood the recent Stock Market panic. In most quarters it is believed that a broad building movement in vari01s lines will be instigated at the turn of the year.

W. Straus Company estimates that huilding program approximating 000.000.000 will be started December 1 in the principal cities and towns of the United States. These construction and expansion programs will be facilitated by the further ease in Wall Street money rates. Call money on the New York Stock Exchange fell to per cent. yesterday, the lowest level since August, 1928, while both time, money and commercial rates showed further declines.

In addition, the Federal Reserve Board has allowed the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston to reduce its rediscount rate to per cent. from 5 per cent.

Murder Trial Starts In New York Murder The trial of George McManus the slaying of Arnold Rothstein, New York Criminal Court. Judge M'MANUS IS HIT BY PROSECUTION (Continued From Page 1) midnight, however, got an overcoat and left.

He has been found since, Brothers said. Meanwhile, Brothers said, a chauffeur had picked up a revolver street outside the Park Central, where it could have been thrown through a broken screen in Room 349. This gun was the one from which came the shot that killed Rothstein, said. Brothers, will further prove, Brothers said, that on the day of the shooting McManus had ordered whiskey sent Room 349 and there drank it, in company with Mrs. Ruth Keyes of Chicago and others.

Closing his address, Brothers said: "Gentlemen of the jury, the shooter of Rothstein left that room hurriedly. Evidence we will give will show that McManus must have left Room 349 in a hurry." Murray passed his opening address. It is understood he will make it when the State rests its case. Dr. Charles Norris, chief city medical examiner, then was called to the stand as the first witness.

Dr. Norris first described technically the condition of Rothstein's body when he made the autopsy, the course of the bullet which was downward through the abdomen and the cause of to a bullet wound." He then turned over to Brothers, who was doing the questioning, the bullet that took Rothstein's life. The bullet was entered as exhibit A bundle of clothing then was brought to the witness stand, where it was identified as being that which Rothstein wore the night he was shot. Dr. Norris pointed out on the right side of the blue, single breasted coat, a hole in the apparent position the bullet in Rothstein's body would have entered.

There were no powder marks on the coat. He also pointed out a hole in the watch pocket of the trousers and traces of blood near it. McManus twisted uneasily in his chair as Dr. Norris testified, his smile of the past three days missing. On cross -examination, Murray asked Dr.

Norris where the rest of the clothing of Rothstein had gone--the underwear, vest, shoes and socks, don't know," Dr. Norris said. "He said he thought all the clothing had been turned over to the police. "Did you ever see powder burns or marks on any of the clothing?" Murray asked. "I did not," he said.

Murray then had the doctor again describe the course of the bullet down through Rothstein's abdomen. He brought out that in following that course it passed through what the doctor called the "belly muscles." "Would the abdominal muscles be necessary to a man walking down a hall, three flights of stairs and pushing open heavy doors?" Murray asked. "Yes," the doctor answered. Fugitive Taken Sayre, Nov. 21 Lewis, 27, whom State police sought in connection with the Rothstein case in New York, is under arrest today.

He was found in the wilds of Sullivan County late yesterday. Lewis seems to know nothing about the Rothstein case, troopers say, but a still and a quantity of moonshine were found in his cabin. Justice of the Peace Gardner of Montrose committed him to jail in default of $1,000 bail. The police acted on information of several alleged customers of Lewis who reported that the alleged moonshiner them he "knew plenty about Rothstein case," and that he received money regularly from his gangster pals in New York. Lewis also told police informants, according to reports, that he would shoot any trooper who bothered him.

While the prisoner goes under the name of Ted Lewis, police say they have learned that he is Joseph A. Lawrence. He says he deserted from the Army Air Forces at Mitchel Field September 22. He says that at the time of the Rothstein murder he was with the coast artillery at Panama. LOS ANGELES ON FLIGHT Lakehurst, N.

Y. Unexpected delay changes plans Stop Will not arrive Saturday Stop More later ST. NICHOLAS. It was a doleful morning for the executives of the local Ross Store. when the above cable was rushed to them.

Here they were. with plans all made for a gala reception and greeting to Santa Claus on his arrival here next Saturday afternoon, with hundreds of in the city agog with excitement and busy preparing costumes for the parade which was to have been held, with everything in readiness, almost- -and now. no Santa Claus. It was explained at the Ross Store this afternoon that the probable reason for Santa's unexpected postponement was the failure to get all the toys completed on schedule. The Ross Store here is expecting several carloads of toys to arrive with Santa, and the executives believe that his change of plans is necessitated by this deviation from schedule.

It is now uncertain, therefore, whether or not the city-wide children's parade will be held, as WAS originally planned. Definite announcement on this score will be made as soon as further information is received from St. Nicholas, it was said at the Ross Store.

BUSINESS ZONE ON PARK AVENUE New York Board Of Estimate Votes Today On Change Between 50th 57th Street-Some Foes New York, Nov. 21-Over the dissenting vote of Borough President Miller, and possibly the vote Aldermanic President Joseph V. McKee, the Board of Estimate is lined up for vote today which will sound the death knell of Park Avenue north of 44th Street as a show residential thoroughfare. On application made chiefly by the New York Central Railroad, through its real estate subsidiary, the New York State Railway, and Terminal Company, estate interests headed by Robert Walton Goelet of Newport, R.

the board, unless there is some unexpected shift, will vote to change Park Avenue from 50th Street to 57th Street on both sides from a residential zone to a retail business area. The railroad and the Goelet interests between them have $30,000,000 worth of property involved in the plan out of a total assessed valuation of about $47,000,000 for all property included in the affected area. Real estate experts said yesterday that the change of the blocks from residential to business would mean a quick enhancement in value of at least 000,000 on the total assessed tion. Benjamin F. Schreiber, attorney and manager of the Walker-BerryMcKee campaign this year, heads the group of lawyers representing the petitioners before the board.

During the campaign Mayor Walker frequently referred to Park Avenue as one of the "most beautiful streets in all the world." Although seven blocks of the avenue are involved today, it was said by critics of the plan that this action will doubtless mean the passing of Park Avenue as a residential street all along within short order, and that it will become a second Fifth Avenue. The Park Avenue Association did not oppose. The petition was filed last June, but no action was taken on it until last Thursday. Since at that meeting the plan was offered for the first time, a vote of 12 out of 16 in the Board was required. Borough President Miller, voted no, and Aldermanic President McKee was absent, which gave proponents only 11 votes.

Murray today issued the following statement: "The policy of the Tax Department under the advice of preceding Corporation Counsels has been to. carry assessed valuations without reduction in the fact of litigation.

Mr. Cashin of the Corporation Counsel's office immediately approved of the suggestion and said that he agreed with me that the proper way to treat the matter was to take it up independently of the fact that the litigation was undetermined which I was very glad to do and the 1930 tentative valuation is the result of my work upon the railroad "In preparing the New propertieen.
