STOCK SALES ON SMALL SCALE Large Transactions in Motors f —Studebaker Down. NEW YORK. May 23—The stock market closed irregular today. The market was Irregular In the late dealings with transactions on a small scale, with the exception of the motor shares in which there were large dealings. Studebaker fell over 4 points to 72% followed by a rally to 73% and General Motors, after selling down to 11%, rallied to 11%. Mexican I’etroleum, after selling to 150, yielded to 148%. United States Steel sold from 83% to 83%. The rails were fractionally higher, Reading moving up from 71 to 71%. American Tobacco rose 1% points to 120% Total sales of stocks were 648,800 shares; bonds, $5,994,000. (By Thomson & McKinnon.) —May 23Today's market has been one of the most irregular that we have experienced recently. At the start there was every appearance of dullness. Mexican Petroleum being apparently the only stock to attract any attention. The demand for it had every appearance of the covering of an important line of shorts. This strength was met with a sympathetic response in Pan-American. Following this" came an improved demand for a considerable variety of stocks, and in the rally that followed United States Steel stood out conspicuously. What possible reason there can be for buying of steel shares at this time is a mystery. since all trade reports agree that the business is just as poor as it has been, and there is erery reason to expect further recessions in the price before business can be stimulated. Further. there is such pronounced inactivity in other lines, that sentiment today is becoming almost as bearish as it was at the close of last year. A little later in the day a considerable selling movement developed in the motor shares Pierce Arrow, Studebaker and General Motors were consupicnous sufferers The theory is being advanced that further price cutting in this 'industry may be expected in the very near future. The weakness of motors had a depressing effect on the market in general though a number of issues were well supported. We see nothing very promising in this market and doubt if any sustained recovery is likely at this time. TWENTY STOCKS AVERAGE. NEW YORK.

GRAIN VALUES CLOSE LOWER favorable Crop Reports Chief Mart Factor. CHICAGO, May 23.- -Reports of favorable crop conditions caused most grain prices to sag at the close after the list had opened generally higher. Provisions closed irregular. May wheat opened up 3c at $1.68 and closed off %c. July wheat opened at $1.28%, up %e, and dosed %c lower. May corn opened off l%c at 58%c and closed up %c. July corn opened at 62 %<:, up %c, and closed off l%c. September corn opened at 65%c, up %e, and closed off %c. May oats opened off %c at 39%c and closed %c lower. July oats opened unchanged at 41%c and closed off lc. Sep tember oats opened at 43c, off %c, and closed off lc. (By Thomson A McKinnon.) —May 23Wheat —There being no rain In the southwest, wheat has ruled strong all day. Crop reports from Kansas continue to outline a material lowering in the final outcome, while advices from Nebraska are re her favorable. All reports have mentioned large reserves of old wheit and private advices through the day have noted general selling, both I northwest and southwest, by the farmer and the country dealer. Germany has taken about 400,000 for July price August shipment, but other countries have refused to follow the advance. The milling demand is not Improved, export bids in tlie'country are not general, and cash wheat is losing its premium In fact it is being taken by elevators for delivery ! purposes. The increased offerings from the country, the slowing down of the cash demaud and a forecast of cooler weather and showers shuuld bring about a good reaction, but we doubt if it is advlsnble to believe firmly in lower prices until there Is a material change in the crop news from the southwest. All the news from the spring wheat crop is excellent. Corn and Uats —There has been no individual strength in either corn or oats, the '.mail advances has been simply a reflection of the wheat. Consignment notices in both grains are increasing, while the distributing demand is about as previously.. These grains may oe sufficiently low but there is no reason at the moment for expecting permanently i higher prices. | Provisions—A larger movement of hogs than expected, and lower prices for same, have counteracted the sympathetic influence of wheat in the provision market. Liberal receipts of hogs are expected ; again tomorrow. CHICAGO GRAIN. —Map 23WHEAT— Open. High. Low. Close.

CROOKS TRAIN ARSON CATS TO UPSET LAMPS Famous Investigator Bares Clever Schemes to Defraud Creditors. FRAUDS REACH HIGH ART NEW YORK, May 23.—Declaring that j the present period of industrial depres- ( sion and the great wave of social crime j which has 'been sweeping the country , has also been accompanied by an increase of what is commonly called com- | mereial crime, C. D. West, manager of the investigation and prosecution *le--1 partment, National Association of Credit Men, has exposed some of the schemas ; devised to defraud creditors. I “During the period of prosperity which ; was enjoyed for some years past, the professional commercial swindler was not engaged in his usual vocation because It was easier to make money honestly. Now that business conditions have changed, the trade crooks have returned to their j old games,” said Mr. West, who Is one of the best-known investigators in the country. He has several nicknames, among them being “Jiephon,” “Deacon West,” ‘ Dean West" and "Sherlock Holmes." Mr. West has been responsible for sending more commercial crooks to jail than any other man in America. "While the numerous forms of social crime are well known to tho public, the j workings of tho commercial criminals are not familiar to most person?,” said West. ! “The latter class deal principally with fraudulent bankruptcies, the mulcting of creditors, and often, even, the ruining of honest merchants, as well as the defeat- \ Ing of the workings of the law. NOT ORDINARY PICKPOCKETS. “The commercial criminals would not pick a man's pockets; they would not do a person bodily harm. Ah, no! They ire fur too clever for that. They are , polished gentlemen, well educated and extremely smart in devising schemes for • gaining their ends. “The man who seeks to defraud the firms with which he is dealing on credit does his work carefully. He secures ! snr ' loans, paying the bills usually in , fu , then gradually increases the amount , of his orders until the sum reaches a high mark. Then Is the anticipated time for the fraudulent bankruptcy or other scheme. “There are a great many ways In which these criminals operate. In bankruptcy frauds the most common methods of beating the law are the concealment of assets, transfer of stock with the aid j of a false burglary or fire and the dis- j honest claims of debts, contracted and j paid, usually to relatives. "Botuet!mes dishonest lawyers advise i and point out methods of working fraudulent bankruptcy: in some cases dishonest referees and attorneys loot bankrupt estates; occasionally corrupt politics enters into the game and sometimes even credit men themselves, apparently stung by' the crooks, are in reality working with the scoundrels to put the fraud across. “Often It is necessary to contend with an organized gang operating in several cities throughout the country and controlling arson and burglary gangs, shippers. receivers, lawyers and others. “It Is the ‘man higher up. - the -master mind.’ that we are most concerned in getting. Many of their workers are merely dupe*. “Sixteen men ‘higher up'- in Chicago were responsible for three failures aggregating $300,900. of which $165,000 has already been recovered. "In another case twenty-eight failures have been traced to one Philadelphia wholesale house. SHERLOCK ON THE JOB. “While investigating a ease in Paterson. N. J., not long ago I became lnter•sted in the disappearance of a dozen satchels used for transporting animals and I decided to trace them. I found that they had been shipped to Philadelphia and then to Chester. Pa. To Chester I went, to the home of the mans father, whom I found to be apparently Interested in cat#. “But upon further search I discovered the reason. The cats were being trained to fight lamps and when their training was completed they were sold for $259 each. “Thus when a man wanted a fire In his store nil that was necessary was for hltn to purchase one of these anl- i mnls and leave it iu his store with a j lighted lamp, then go home and go j to bed, assured that while he slept the i eat would knock over the light and j his shop would be destroyed by fire. i "The setting of fires in a store, however, does not aid bankrupts in getting insurance, for the insurance money Is paid to the creditors. The purpose of the Ire is to cover up the removing of goods or the concealment of assets. And while insurance Is being paid for a fire In one city, often the same articles are being used in another city to help stock another prospective failure or are being sold for profit, having generally cost their possessors nothing because of the manner in which the large credit concerns have been beaten out of their bills. TALK OF THE BUCKET OF LARD. “Some time ago I secured an indictment of a man from the East Side of New York who had one of the finest schemes for setting fires that I have ever encountered. He was head of an arson ga r g which specialized insetting fires w’ erever and whenever desirede. “He would set a candle in the center of an ordinary lard bucket, pack the top of t,'ie cover around the candle with cotton, and then around the outer edge of the top would place little sticks stringing twine or thread around these posts and at regular Intervals would suspend little sacks filled with gasoline on the Btring.

CRUCIFY 2 IN WEIRD RITES Great Physical Torture En dured by Fanatics in N. M. SANTA FE. N. M., May 23.—Detail# wierd religions ceremonies enacted members of the Hermanos de Lu* Brothers of Light) were brought to Santa Fe this week by tourists who had witnessed the crucifixion of two men in tha village of Abiquiu, in northern New Mexico, In the county of Rio Arriba, close to the Sante Fe National Forest. According to these witnesses, the Holy Week ceremonies of the Penltentes included ceremonies of fervent worshippers who flogged themselves with flagelIlformß that had been dipped In brfne in order to increase the pain from scourging. The strange performances were climaxed on Good Friday with the crucifixion of two nude men on a cruda wooden cross in emulation of the passion of Christ. The two men endured agonies on tha cross for fully thirty minutes, when they were taken down, bleeding and exhausted. Their injuries were said to be painful, though not fatal. Numerous other scenes depicting tha suffering of Christ, from Gethsemane to Calvary, were reported by the touristV all of which were carried out with great religious fervor and much solemnity. The Brothers of Light, or Penltentes, are a religious order dating from pagan times. Followers of the order settled In remote communities of old and New Mexico, and a few descendants have been discovered at intervals during the past half century in this section of the Southwest. Disapproval of their customs hava caused the Penitentes to carefully guard their religious rites and seldom hava their ceremonies been witnessed by outsiders.

SACRIFICES SELF, SA VING SHIPMATE FROM SEA’S FURY j SAN DIEGO, Cal., May 23.—" Pacific : Coast fishermen are discussing what is as!d to be one of the most heroic exploits in the history of fishing smack# along the coast during a storm off Point Lorna which cost the life of John Zaberlin. an Italian, and In which Joe Vidovltch and Sam Frontera, Austrians, received severe cuts about the head and shoulders caused by flying glass. All three men were sailors of the forty-foot Italian fishing craft Santa Lucia. The battle of the small craft with tha gale-lashed seas wag marked with many spectacular Incidents after the intrepid little vessel had been knocked on it# beam ends by a monster comber. Zaberliu literally gave his life to save Vidovitch. The Santa Lucia, bonnd from the fishing banks north of La Jolla for San Diego, had reached a point about one mile northwest of the whistling buoy, at the entrance to the harbor, when it suddenly was engulfed by a giant wave. The surge of the seas smashed in the cabin windows, showering Frontera, who w:$M at the wheel, with bits of broken glass; tore the compass bodily from its fasten--1 ings and washed Zaberlin and Yidovitch. who were standing on the lee side of the cabin, overboard, together with the nets, valued at $3,000. These nets were made fast to a bltt near the stern, a fact to which Yidovitch, coupled with the heroic assistance of Zaberlin, owes hi# life. Zaberlin and Yidovitch were carried everal hundred feet on the crest of the •■roth-capped comber before they were erked up suddenly by clutching the meshes of the net. The Santa Lucia, wallowing In the swells, without a helmsman, Frontera having been knocked partly unconscious when the cabin was stove In, continued on toward the bell bnoy. Laboriously fighting their way hand over hand along the net, with the seas continually whipping about their heads and choking them with its froth and spume, Zaberlin and Vldoviteh managed to reach the stern of the Santa Lucia. They had more than an hour and were virtually exhausted. By a su-pep-human effort Zaberlin pulled himself aboard by digging his feet into the meshes of the net banging over the stern. Once safe on deck he turned and helped Yidovitch. As the latter fell ever the rail Zaberlin turned to him and sai(sx "I have helped you all I could. I aia 7 going to die now.” Without uttering another sound ths fisherman flung up his hands and fell to the Santa Lucia’s deck, lifeless. Too weak to offer any aid Vldoviteh lay near his dead shipmate while hq tailed weakly to Frontera to head the smack Into the channel. In the meantime the net had gone adrift from the vessel, relieving It greatly of the drag nd permitting Frentera to keep tha rraft from lying in the trough of the iwells. Frontera, however, failed to prevent the Santa Lucia from drifting dangerously close to the breakers, and It was in this perilous position that Capt. Andrew Castagnole, of the fishing ichooner Catherine, sighted the Santa Lucia wheu he hove In view from '*** louthward. Without hesitating a second Castganole maneuvered hia boat near the Santa Lucia, succeeded la getting a line aboard ind towed the boat safe Into the harbor. The "ite of the Santa Lucia alarmed the members of the local fishing colony, and many Italian and Austrian fisherwomen rushed to the water front to seek news of their husbands. The wife of the captain of the Italian fishing schooner Garibaldi became hysterical when the found the craft was not in port. Because of her wild pleadings the coast guard cutter Tingard was dispatched to search the banks off La Jolla. The Tincord met the Garibaldi inbound and s&fet abreast Ballast Point. Fishermen said the gale kicked up the "dirtiest" sea that has been #een In local waters in years.
