STOCK ISSUES MAKE RALLIES Market Was Under Pressure During Initial Hour. NEW YORK, March 15.—The stock market continued under pressure at the opening today, but after the inltinl declines a better tone was evident and good rallies were made from the low. Mexican Petroleum, selling ex-dlvidend 3 per cent, yielded over 2 points to 137% and then rallied 1 point. Pan-American Petroleum also sold exdlvldend and fell 1 point to 61%, but quickly recovered this loss. Crucible Steel, after dropping 1% points to 82%, came back to 83%. Steel common held steady at 78%. Atlantic Gulf was In good demand after its sharp break yesterday, advancing 1% points to 36%. Reading, after showing a fractional loss, rose to 66%. United Fruit was under pressure, falling 2 points to 98%. The action of the stock market nil through the first hour Indicated that speculative conditions had materially changed and the mnrket had become one In which liquidation was completed except in the Petroleum group. In those issues the greatest supply came from bwr plungers. Mexican Petroleum, after selling at 137%, moved up to 140% and Pan-Ameri-can Petroleum advanced from 64% to 66%. United States Steel rose from 78 to 79 and there wcs vigorous demand for Baldwin, which adavnced from 82% to 84. Readlrg. after being forced down to 65, rose to 67 and Southern Pacific made a gain of 1 point to 73. United Fruit was an object of bear attacks and yielded 3 points to 97%, but had a quick rally to 98%. The motor stocks were steadily bought, Studebaker ranging from 59% to 60%. (By Thomson & McKinnon.) —March 15— At the opening of the market yesterday there was nothing to Influence traders. There was a moderate demand for stocks, about equally divided between commission houses and local traders. Offerings were light. Within a very few minutes thereafter the professional element took to the selling side again and brought considerable pressure to bear on a number of active stocks Including Crucible, Mexican Petroleum. Atlantic Gulf and United States Steel, but in the latter trade there was fair support, which prevented a decline of consequence. Later in the day after a period of dullness, traders again became active and centered their attention on Atlantic Gulf, but at the same time a covering movement In the general list developed, which resulted in some fair rallies. Throughout the day the commission house business was only moderate, with the net result probably showing moderate purchases by balance. Notwithstanding the decline In values, It does not yet appear that there has been any Improvement In professional sentiment toward the market. There is still a noticeable feeling of unrest, and a general want of confidence In the stability of values. And while there can be little doubt but that a goodly portion of the stocks recently sold have been accumulated with a view of permanent investment, nevertheless there is nothing at the moment to give hope of ' any immediate change for the better, and some further liquidation Is still likely.

Receipts for the (lay were considerably heavier than the receipts of the market of the day before, with 6,500 fresh hogs on the market. The market opened about 25 cents lower. but after the first few minutes prices settled even loner. The demand was poor and at a late hour in the forenoon trade only about half of tbo hogs had been sold. It was thought that the clearance for the day would be very poor. There was a good strong tone to trade in the cattle market, with receipts approximating 1,000 fresh cattle and prices steady to strong. There were no really good cattle among the receipts, but the cattle moved better than on the market of the day before because of the better demand. There were two sales of steers at $10.50, which was 50 cents higher than the top of the steer market for the day before and considerably higher than steers had sold at the local market for some time. With 000 calves on the market and a temporarily good demand prices started fully 50 cents to $1 higher on choice and good ealves aud steady on others, but after the first few mluutes a draggy tone set in and at the close of trade good aud choice calves had lost their early gains and medium and other grades of calves were lower.

In the Cotton Market NEW YORK, March 15.—With the exception of March, which because of the Issuance of eleven notices before the start, was 3 points lower, the cotton market opened 8 to 16 points higher today. Firm cables and a bullish report of consumption during February, accounted chiefly for the early steadiness. Liverpool and spot houses were fairly good buyers, the spot interests taking May. The bulk of the trading, however, remained professional anil appeared to be without significance. At the end of the flrHt twenty minutes the market was steady and about 15 points net higher.

INDIANA DAILY TIMES, TUESDAY, MARCH 15, 1921.

GRAINS MAKE SLIGHT GAINS Heavy Export Buying Causes Stronger Tendency. CHICAGO, March 15—Grain prices advanced slightly on the Chicago Board of Trade today, due to heavy buying for export and improvement in general trade conditions. Provisions were regular. March wheat opened at $1.55%, unchanged, and later advanced 2c. May wheat opened up %e at $1.47 and gained 2%c before the close. May corn opened unchanged at 68c and advanced %e subsequently. July corr opened unchanged at 70c and gained %c later. May oats opened off %e at 42%c and gained %c later. July oats opened up %e at 43% and advanced %c before the close. (By Thomson & McKinnon.) —March 15— Wheat —An unexpected export business in wheat through the British commission to the extent of some 3,000,000 bushels, was responsible for the firmness in the early market Monday. After demand from this source was satisfied buying power flattened out. Weakness ensued because of deliveries In Minneapolis on March contracts, resulting In a further increase in the discount for that market under Chicago. The current delivery in Kansas City was also heavy and at practically a shipping difference. Apropos of Monday’s export business the Government tells us that North America has a surplus of 165,000,000 bushels. It will be necessary for a liberal export business each day If this surplus Is to be exhausted before the new crop, as there are only 107 days remaining to the first of July. In addition to the likelihood of a normal carry-over, we have a growing crop of very high promise, the Important thing being the small amount of abandoned acreage. There must be a steady foreign demand, an improved milling trade and more Interest on the part of the general buyer If the declining tendency is to be checked. Corn and Oats —The visible supply of coarse grains continue to Increase, total supply of corn now In Chicago being more than double the entire visible supply of a year ago and current recelp's selling at strong discounts under the May delivery. The weakness in the cash sltution is reflected in the widening difference between the May and July deliveries. Southwest Interests were aga u seen as sellers of oats. Unlss some unforeseen demand appears, there is likely to be more or less liquidation of holdings of the deferred deliveries Provisions—The feeling of depression lu business circles and the weakness in grain overcome a slight advance in hogs and induced scattered realizing. Such demand as came into the market seemed to be from former sellers. This market shows no decided trend but Is not likely to advance so long as grains are declining.

He was drunker than I had ever seen him In | all the years I hud known him. He was drunk and crazy. I don't think the; whisky was good red whisky, as Mr. i Nichols 9aid. He usually drank good : whisky and he wasn’t usually crazy like that. When X got to my room the doors wore locked between our rooms and the lathroom door was locked. I rang for Bill, the porter, as I hadn’t anything to eat all day. At breakfast I couldn't eat. I seldom eat any breakfast and when Bill came and knocked on the door-—he came in ! with ica water and Mr. Haman slipped in with him. I had to unlock the door for , Bill. I was afarld of Mr. Ilamon. I j wanted to keep him away from me for 1 twenty-fcur more hours and I could go to California and wait for him to sober up and come to me looking the sweet, kind lover h * had been before. So ho came In as Bill came In. Bill poured the ice water in the pitcher. Mr. Hatnon paced up and down, running his bands through his hair, as he did when he was agitated. And the minute Bill went out and the door was hardly closed Mr. Hamon said: “Yon SAYS HAMON CHOKED HER. He grabbed tne at the same time and choked me, nnd he choked me until 1 was blind and I couldn’t seem to think. Q. Now, Miss Clara, Interrupted Attorney McLean. A. Just a minute, I wish to finish the storv, Mr. McLean. The witness was apparently overcome with emotion. (J. All right. A. He choked me—

He choked me and hit me and somehow he threw me over on the bed in one of his licks and after he got me on the bed lie beat me and slapped me and bit me two or thne times and took me by one leg and Jerked me off the bed on my back. I have been operated on in the back and it hurts me extremely, lie took pains to kick tne in the back and he kicked me and choked me. 1 struggled to get up and did get up, and he choked me again and backed me up against the window and choked me again aud again and slapped me. He wasn’t satisfied with that and he twisted the skin on my wrist: he twisted and ho wasn’t satisfied with that, he bent my fingers back and tried to break them. THREATENED TO CUT THROAT. And then he said: “I will cut your throat," and he reached for his knife. The knife had fallen out of his pockets in the sfterfioon while he w;-.s lying on the bed and I picked it up and put it over on the table after he walked out of the room nnd then when he didn’t have the knife in his pocket he reached for the knife I had given him, a little gold chain and some how, some way, that knife wasn f there. He looked around nnd In the meantime. in the interval, he was choking me and kicking nip and beating me very badly. I cannot remember all of it: it is too much for anybody to remember. I endured that sort of torture Q. Did he make any remarks to you? A. Well, I am getting to that, Mr. Mel-enn. (J What was that remark? ACCUSED CLARA OF RIDING WITH SOMEBODY. A. I nm getting to It. He said, “You have been riding with somebody, haven't you?" and 1 said. “No. you know I haven't.” I knew that he knew I hadn't. He was drunk and crazy. When he didn’t find his gold knife, he saw a knife over on the dresser he had given me a long time ago—an old knife of his Just to sharpen pencils nnd use around the room. I bad It sharpened. It was very, very sharp. lie reached for that knife, and said: "I would Just as soon slit your throat as I would draw on this cigar." When he reached for that knife, I knew the time had come. T unconsciously, or somehow, reached hack In my purse on the window sill and got *ny little gun. T asked him to stand back and let me pass. Q. Well, what did you do with the gun, with the pistol, when you got hold of it. A. I held it on him. (). All right, describe what took place. 1

NAYS GUN DISCHARGED WHEN II (MOV STRUCK HFK. A. He did back away, sort of behind a chair, and put his hands on the back of the chair. He didn't raise his hands. I didn't ask him to. I wasn't very far from him when I passed the corner ot the bed and Mr. Hnmon and the chair to got to the door to get out. He backed around to the door between our rooms and then I went to the door to got out. Holding my hand like this (indicating) to back up to the door to unlock it, the lock he had locked when Fill wont r. and when he did that I couldn’t see him. lie was a little back of the corner of the bathroom when’ I unlocked the door, so I had to let him out of my sight. And, understand, when I unlocked the door to go In, that Instant he turned off the light and raised the chair to strike me, and did strike me.

Removal proceedings against coal operators, miners, union officials and companies, indicted for alleged violation ol the Sherman anti-trust law by the Federal grand jury last month, will be fought to the bitter end by the defendants, according to L. Ert Slack, special assistant to the attorney general, who returned from Chicago today after a conference with counsel for all defendants living outside this State. The conference was well attended by attorneys for Illinois, Ohio and Pennsylvania defendants and, according to Mr. Slack, they are firm In their determination to resist removal proceedings. Within the next few weeks he will institute proceedings of this character In the United States District Courts of th various States, and an Interesting and spirited legal contest will be fought out, for the Government is determined tc bring the defendants to trial before Judge Albert B.

CITY TO FIGHT PETITION FOR 6-CENT FARE (Continued From Page One.) time than any other fare that can be applied. “In almost .ery other city in the country where the fares were increased above 5 cents it has been necessary almest Immediately to Increase from 6 to 7 cents and in some c.ises the fare has reached 10 and 11 cents, with the result that the companies Invariably are in worse financial condition they were with the 5-cent fare. “A consistent, continuous policy ol betterment of service and addition of cares and practical operating schedules, with the 5-cent fare, in my opinion will find the company- in much more prosperous condition at the end of the year than if it had been permitted to charge a 6-eent or higher fare.” The corporaD.on counsel concurred In the mayor’s statement. The mayor was at his office for the first time in a week, having been confined to his home by a threatened’ attack of pneumonia. In a supplementary paper filed with the commission plans for the construction of anew central interurban freight terminal, to be constructed at Kentucky and Oliver avenues at a cost of more than $009,000, were included. . The petition for the increase In rates follows closely the extension of time granted by the service commission, in which the street car company is permitted to make a charge of 1 cent for each transfer issued. This was granted Dec. 20. At that time the street car company was ordered to submit pltns for the improvement of freight terminal facilities. In asking for the Increased rates the company states that unless emergency relief is granted it will face a cash deficit on May 1 of more than s.'>o<),o(X), without providing for improvements. REPRESENTS CASH DEFICIT LARGE. In support of this statement the pettion states that on March 1 there was a cash deficit of $25,153.12. which. It is claimed, will be increased May 1 to a cash deficit of $325,985.59. In the face of this deficit and with no guarantee of relief the company declares It will be unable to secure credit in order to meet Its temporary and permanent needs. The present 1 cent transfer charge originally was granted for a period of seventy-one days, and was continued recently pending further consideration of the case. In Its latest petition the company sets forth the revenues derived from the additional charge for transfers. It is expected that the petition will bo considered by the commission at an early date. This mnkps the second Indianapolis utility that has asked for Increased rates recently. The commission Thursday will hear the petition of the Citizens Gas Company for a 90-cent rate.
