STOCK MARKET CLOSE IRREGULAR Leading Issues Rally From Low Levels. TORK. May 14.—The stock mar ket closed trregular today. Most of the leading Issues rallied from the low levels, while others showed a heavy tone. rnired States Steel moved up from 82% to 82%. American Sumatra rallied over 5 points to 60%. Sears-Roebuck was in supply, falling over 3 points to 78, and Famous Players La sky sold down to 71%, a loss of nearly 6 points. Texas Pacific Railway was In demand, moving up over 1 point to 26%. Mexican Petroleum rallied from 144% to 145%. Total gales of stocks for the da/ were E 95.000 shares: bonds. $3,894,000. Total sales for the week were 5,236.000 shares; bonds, $53,313,000. (By Thomson A McKinnon.) —May 14— After a rather quiet and uneventful opening, sellers of stocks became active. Further losses were established and while there was some evidence during the middle of the session of short covering, being particularly noticeable in American Sumatra, there was nothing In the cyp's trading that would suggest any •hew or Investment buying. The fact of the matter is that during a declining market, such as we have experienced for a week, confidence is shaken, and It takes some little while before it can be restored, so that for the Immediate future we must look entirely to the short interest for the required support, and bow soon this may materialize Is, of course, difficult at this time to say. Usually it requires a period of dullness In order to demonstrate tc the Investing public that values have reached a level of stability. And It is only at such times that due consideration Is given to favorable factors which are constantly developing. As an indication of what the future holds In store for us of the way of the world business, it might be well to consider the fact that we are now doing a bigger business with Germany than we have ever done in the past, and figures now available Indicate anew high record for business exports and Imports with that country. Matters of this kind, however, no matter how important, are entirely Ignored during a period of weakness. Values are low enough, but the selling movement must run its course. TWENTY STOCKS AVERAGE.

GRAIN VALUES FINISH LOWER Wheat Shows Strength, but Fails to Regain Loses. CHICAGO, May 14.—Grain prices dropped on the Chicago Board of Trade today’’ as a result of the legislation to regulate grain exchanges now pending In Congress. Wheat showed some gain toward the 7 close, but did not overcome the early losses. Provisions were lower. May wheat opened at $1.41%, t ff 2c, and closed up l%e. July wheat opened, off l%e at $1.14%, and closed up %c. May corn opened at 00%c, off %c, and closed down %c. July corn opened at 62%e, off %c, and closed off %e. Septem her corn opened at 64%c, off %c, and closed off %c. May oats opened unchanged at 37%c, and closed off %c. July oats opened at 39%c, off %c. ar and closed off %c. September oats opened at 40%c., off %c, and closed off %c. (By Thomson A McKinnon.) —May 14— Wheat—Actual or prospective Interference with established methods of doing business will, at all times, depress prices for the reason that confidence of holders is disturbed. This condition existed today, but was overcome by a rev.val of export demand, it being rather reliably reported that Italy had taken In the neighborhood of 1,000,900 bushels. Our Information leads us to believe that it was hard winter wheat for gulf shipment. Beneficial rains are reported in the Southwest, where needed, and the country offerings have been increased. Despite claims of more free selling by the country, which appear from time to time, there is no Increase in terminal market stocks. Another decrease In the ’■isible is expected on Monday. If there could be seme assurance that the present methods of handling the crop would not be disrupted, there would probably be a better demand than now exists, hut, as it is there Is a general disposition to either anticipate lower prices or to await developments. Corn and Oats—There has been a little broadening of trade In corn under reports of Increased offerings from the country, but later they became more general. The market it still narrow and inclined to sympathize with the action of wheat. A further decrease In the visible supplv is not Impossible. Having in mind the large reserves still ia the country and believing that the movement will increase as spring work is completed, there seems little likelihood of any prominent advance. Provisions Lack of support has been more pronounced In the provision market than any excess of offerings. The domestic cash trade Is of healthy proportion and there remains the belief that central Europe will be a buyer. CHICAGO GRAIN. —Mar 14-*-WHEAT— Open. High. L°w. Close.

STAUBS TRY TO MAKE BARGAIN WITH COLLINS Suspended Sentence Would Take Pair From County, Counsel Says. Efforts today were made by Grace Childers Staub and her hunbaud, Dolph Staub, who operate a “chicken farm” near Valley Mills, to escape serving ninety days in penal institutions on a charge of contributing to the delinquency of a young girl, by attempting to make a “bargain’’ with Judge A. Collins of the Criminal Court which would have resulted In the Staubs receiving a suspended sentence. The proposal for a bargain was made by Ira Holmes, counsel for the Staubs, who Informed the court that “if the court would suspend the days the Staubs would sell out their chicken farm yrithtn ten days and move out of the county.” STAUBS TX COURT OFTEN. “Stibby" Staub is one of the two men who were hired to beat up Ralph Richman, for assault on whom Dennis Bush was sent to the Penal Form after six years' delay. Grace Childers, his wife, formerly operated a notorious resort In Indianapolis. Both have been in court numerous times, but seldom either have been in jail. Mr. Holmes stated that his clients offered the “bargain” In view of the court’s statements attacking places of the nature of the Staub "chicken farm.” "I am not going to make any bargains with such people," said Judge Collins. Then Mr. Holmes told of the need of someone supervising tho “chickens” at the farm over the week-end and asked that Stuab be permitted to go to the farm until Monday. This was after Staub had been formally sentenced to ninety days on the Indiana State Farm and fined SSO and costs and after his wife had received a similar sentence to the correctional department of the Woman's Prison. MRS. STAUB ALLOWED LIBERTY UNTIL MONDAY. The court allowed Mrs. Staub her liberty until Monday morning at 9 o’clock. The eame courtesy and temporary setting aside of judgment was extended to Charles McCutcheon. 226 South Illinois street, charged with the same offense, who was fined SSO and sentenced to thirty days in Jail. In connection with the same case, Irene Fahrback of the Marguerite apartments, was fined SSO and sentenced to thirty days tn Jail, and Harold Stevens was fined SSO and sentenced to ten days In Jail. They were taken Into custody at once. Attorney Holmes asked the court what the appeal bond would be for the Staubs and the court stated $2,500 each. The five defendants were found guilty of contributing to the delinquency of Velma I-awrence, 17, h.v the means of automobile parties and alleged “good times” at the Staub farm. All denied the allegations made by the Lawrence girl. SAYS TESTIMONY UNCONTRADIUTEO. V In urging that the five defendants he found guilty. Prosecutor William P. Evans declared In his argument that the testimony of Velma Lawrence stands un-contradl-ted Judge Collins went on record, brfo-e giving Mrs. Staub a few days' liberty, condemning such places as the Staub chicken farm. “The whole matter in this case is Just this,” said Judge Collins, “that the Staub chicken farm cannot he compared with decent places where, chicken dinners are served. I am satisfied that the Staubs moved to the country from Court street in order to carry on the business that Grace Childers has been taught to carry on.’’ Continuing, the court said: “I am Ratified that the Staubs are more guilty than the others and if such places were not maintained, such parties as described hero in court could not happen." The evidence showed that McCutcheon has been employed by the Illinois Central Railroad' for seventeen years and that his reputation has been good up to this affair.

] The evidence showed that the Lawrence i ffirl was taken on a "joy party” after ! attending a dance, given whisky by some iof the men, taken to the Slaub farm, ‘where she spent the night, and the next I day visited the apartments of Irene Fahrj hack and latert went on a motor trip to Clinton, Ind., with some men. This was all denied by defendants. Marriage Licenses Charles Smart. Southport, Ind 24 Clara McPherson. Southport, Ind 24 Floyd Brown. 914 N. Treinont 24 Julia A. Chailie, 570 N.
