wall street HAS HOLIDAY Markets Closed For City Elections; Prepare For Short Week’s Work >,Vw- York. Nov. 6. — (U.R)— Wall |t|Wt rested today while New York •ItUeaH cast their ballots In a mimicIpai .lection. Tomorrow the market w) H (> p,. n at the usual time, but closj II( , | ia s been changed to Ip. m., makjiur three-hour session. The same procedure holds true for Thursday KYiday, the week ending with a holiday all day Saturday. Looking back on the market of yestr day, observers were of the opinion that the list was behaving according to normal procedure. The activity W as reduced and selling was growing ; r ,., persistent. Incidentally. It was learned today that a considerable amount of necessitous liquidation had been cleaned np and that remaining margin accounts «ere .veil bolstered to withstand a gee ere selling orgy. At the same time a bear interest was being built np. This was consltlered a favorable factor In that it would make for a rapid rise once a new advance started. The general prediction still Is for a quieter market with fluctuations in a narrow range. However, there are jjuiiy who look forward to a renewed period of buying. Brokers reported good buying in small lots from a long list of newcomers in tlie market. These persons had seen the success of the many who had played the recent bull move and they thought present prices were bargains. Investment trusts were said to be taking further large blocks of stocks on recessions. This sort of buying made itself felt yesterday after a, lower opening, and prices rallied sharply when the buying orders were uncovered. The industrial average now stands at 257.68. This compares with 273.51, the figure reached on the recovery last Thursday, and with 230.07, the low of the year touched on Tuesday. The figure is now hack to where it was last Wednesday. Monday's break having wiped ont all of Thursday's recovery. . While the market is in the throes of readjustment brokers have before them the problem of straightening out their hooks. They made fair progress last week and expect to have all the kinks ironed out. MONROE NEWS Mr. and Mrs. E. W.

WILL COMPLETE ( LIQUOR CASES I « J Federal Judge Slick Dis- < poses Os Many Northern ' Indiana Violators \ i Hammond, Ind., Nov. S.— (U.R) —Hue , to the election holiday Federal Judge Thomas W. Slick has postponed un- i til tomorrow hearing of a few remain- i ing Indictments in northern Indiana's 1 widespread liquor conspiracy. Gases of 200 of the 300 persons indicted for wholesale violation of the liquor laws were heard yesterday. Twenty-five pleaded guilty and were sentenced while 100 of the most important defendants will be tried next Tuesday. t On'y four of those pleading guilty were given jail sentences. They were Charles Dahlia and his sou, Carl, i Charles Zillitis and Charles Prentiss, all East Chicago saloon keepers. They received sentences ranging from two to three months and fines up to S6OO. Mayor Raleigh P. Hale and Chief of Police James Regan of East Chicago and a score of Gary police were among those who obtained continuances when attorneys declared they had had no time to study the indictments. Judge Slick inaugurated a practice new to him yesterday when he paroled a number of those pleading guilty to the custody of prohibition agents. o ABOVE NOMAL VOTE PREDICTED BY BOTH PARTIES (CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE) as saying “We will bring Coffin back into power.” The election at Michigan City has attracted statewide interest because I of the chaotic situalion that existed there with the overthrow of the city

manager form of government by the recent division of tit.- state supreme court. Since then new parties have been formed and a political tangle created through efforts of both factions to take over the city government. The rule of Attorney General Ogden that the city manager force would remain in power until newly elected officers were Installed, was overthrown in the local court, by a decision establishing the regime that was in power when the city manager was 'nstuLed. Since then the election commission declared the Republican candidates were illegally filed, hut tlie list was ordered placed on the ballot by Superior Judge Crumpaeker. An appeal now is pending in the supreme court and should the Repute Means win the election, it is expected the vote will he contested and the supreme court asked to decide upon the legality of Judge Orumpacker’s decision. Because of the recent expose of ‘‘small fry” politl'dans in the Calumet I district by the federal grand jury In Isike county, considerable interest centered in. elections in the northern cities. In Gary, the Democratic candidate, Enunet White, campaigned for a “cleanup" and the Republican candidate, Roswell O. Johnson, who left the mayor's office a few years ago to serve a term in federal prison for liquor law violations, is appealing for vindication. Mayor R. P. Hale, East Chicago, also caught in the federal net, is campaigning for reelection. He is opposed by Allan P. Tuyiiam, Democrat. The majority of the regular Republicans are aligned with Hale despite his recent indictment. ■ o Warrant For Arrest Monon, Ind., Nov. S—(TP5 —(TP) —A warrant for the arrest of Carl C. Middles tadt. 52. missing cashier of the Monon State Bank is expected ‘o be Issued later in the week, according to prosecutor Lynn Thompson.
