STOCKS HAVE FIRM CLOSE Strong Tone Maintained in Late Dealings. NEW TORK, June I—The stock market closed firm today. The market showed a firm tone in the late dealings, with the leading issues in demand. United States Steel held above 80%. Vrucible continued a weak feature, selling down to 65?4. Studebaker was strong, moving up to 72%. Mexican Petroleum was in good demand. moving up over 3 points to 149%. The rail stocks showed fractional rallies. Total sales of stocks were 608,600 shares; bonds, $13,378,000. By THOMPSON A McKINNON. —June 1 — Some disappointment was expressed in market circles over the railroad wage cut, and the raenltant selling forced a moderate break after a quiet and fairly steady opening. Later, pressure on steels and oils became prononnced, and liquidation in these was on a rather liberal scale. On the break thus occasioned shorts became good buyers, fou-clng a rally to the best prices of the day. It la significant that a 7% per cent renewal rate failed to bring about any weakness of consequence in the closing hour. Rails, as has been the case the past few days, showing a much better tone than the rest of the market. We fail to see where the wage cut can be taken as a bearish factor. In our opinion it Is a step in the direction of a return to normal conditions, and is the forerunner of a reduction in freight rates, which in turn will do much to stimulate general business, and without which a return to a condition of anything approximating propsperlty is impossible. It la generally conceded that the consumption of steel will be on a hand to mouth, basis until freight rates are reduced, and ss In steel other branches of indostry are similarly affected. There is unquestionably much in the Immediate situation to encourage pessimism if one permits himself to dwell on existing conditions rather than the ontlook for the future. In our opinion present prices discount much that is unfavorable. We believe a conservative bullish attitude should be maintained. TWENTY STOCKS AVERAGE.

JULY WHEAT SUSTAINS GAINS Other Grains Follow July in Upward Trend. CHICAGO, June I.—Reports unfavorable to the wheat crop caused a sharp advance In July wheat on the Chicago Board of Trade today. Other grains followed the lead of wheat and advanced also. Provisions were Irregular. July wheat opened at $1.29% and closed up 7%c. - July corn opened up %c at 65%c and closed up l%e. September corn opened off %c at 66% and closed up l%c. July oats opened up %c at 41%c and closed up le. September oats opened up %c at 42%c and closed up l%c. (By Thomson A McKinnon.) J iud I— l Cheat—Several private estimates of the wheat crop are unanimous In showing considerable deterioration dnrlng tne last month. Reposts from the leading expert shows drop In conditions of 8 points. The fact that all experts agree that the crop is going backward Is of great Impprtauee. It is also of imfiortance to remember that deterlrdation s being uncovered in a widening territory. It Is fair to assume that the section east of the Mississippi River will be found to be in same condition as the southwest. This assumption is based upon the theory that the three periods of freezing temperatures, experienced In early spring growth, have weakened vitality of the plant. The market situation may be summed up in the statement that exporters and their connections are large holders of the July delivery, against which there has been practically no hedging of the new crop. It Is not reasonable to expect that farmers and country dealers will sell the new crop freely at the great discount now represented in the July price. It Is, of course, too early for reliable estimates of the spring wheat yield, but we wish to say that the estimates received today are hot as large as had been expected. We believe the underlying situation to be particularly strong and stable, and that higher prices will result, even If there be no further retrogression of the crop. Corn and Oats—Apparently the domestic consumer and distributor of coarse grains Is Impressed by the strength in the wheat situation, as there was a very sharp demand for the liberal receipts of com. The material reduction in visible supply of corn is now receiving considerable comment. It Is believed that the present movement of corn from the country will be the last of any importjance until the new crop Is assured. We feel that jhese markets offer opportunities? to the conservative investor. Provisions— There is no revival of Interest in the list. Investment demand is held in check by slow foreign outlet and expectation of Increase in local accumulations.

SUPER-BARBER FOR JAP PRINCE Tonsorialist of Royalty Is Heralded Abroad by French Papers. ~ PARIS, June I.—M. H. Oka and the Crown Prince of Japan are due to arrive in France early in May What the Crown Prince looks like and what are his daily habits, few Frenchmen know. But every one knows all about M. H. Oka. The French newspapers have devoted hundreds of words to informing the people all about him. For Oka is the world’s most highly thought of barber. Not only Is he the only raxor-wielder and hair cutter to whom the Japanese Crown Prince will entrust his life, but he specializes on imperial and royal beards, numbering among, his clients the Crown Prince Carol of Roumanla and Prince Arthur of Connaught. The Crown Prince would never have boarded the cruiser Katal for his European tour had he not known that his favorite and only barber was there with razors, clippers, scissors, hair tonics an<Y powder puffs. Half of the Crown Prince’s mornings he turns over to Oka. After Oka has shaved, powdered and hair-oiled his majesty he is free. He may go into the imperial gardens and pick cherries or shout ••next" to some other Japanese potentate who pleases his fancy. But If the potentate doesn’t please his fancy Oka just picks cherries. Next to the Crown Prince his fa%’orltes are the Princes Kasumlgasekl and Akaseka. This is Oka’s first visit to Europe. He nearly shed tears when he learned that he couldn't meet his old friend, Prince Arthur, because Prince Arthur is in South Africa. The Crown Prince, Japanese newspapers announce, is bringing to Europe 1,500 trunks and valises and two costly strings of pearls, one for the wife of the President of France and the other for the Queen of England.

AMBASSADOR TO RIVER NAMED Bizarre Title Conferred After Water Row DECVER, June 1. —In an effort to read- more amicable agreements with surrounding Rocky Mountain States In regard to water rights, Governor O. H. Shoup of Colorado has appointed Delph E. Carpenter of Greely as Colorado's “river ambassador." A Joint high ’commission, to be composed of representatives of seven States —Colorado. Arizona, Wyoming. Utah, New Mexico, California and Nevada—and of the Federal Government. Is proposed In legislation before these States for the purpose of negotiating treaties respecting the future utilization and benefits of the waters of the Colorado River. This is in compliance with action recently taken by the League of the Southwest. Several of the States. In addition to Colorado, have already enacted the legislation arts! appointment of other “envoys" is expected soon. The Joint high commission plans to put an end to Interstate “wars" over wster rights that have been carried on by the form of litigation before the United States Supreme Court, and the several Staates will name “ambassadors" to negotiate Interstate treaties in settlement of these disputes out of court. Carpenter is a native Coloradoan and a former State Senator. He has devoted' many years to irrigation and Interstate water lltigntilon In the higher courts of the State and Nation. His duties will be to negotiate treaties and Interstate compacts with neighboring States concerning the use anil distribution of the waters or dozens of streams which have their source In Colorado. The appointment of Carpenter and similar appointments in surrounding States open anew ora for the settlement and prevention of the hitter water disputes that have raged for years In the West, with Colorado as the storm certel because of the fact that most of the important waterways of this region have their sources in the mountains of this State.

Unemployment on Wane in France PARIS, June I.—Unemployment In France Is not as serious as In many other Eupropean countries. There are at present about 180,000 unemployed and only 72,000 of these are receiving outef work pay. Reports received In Parts from all the Important Industrial districts show that industry Is gradually recovering from the effects of the war. The cost of materials having now considerably decreased building Is to be nactively pushed along, and particularly the building of living quarters so as to ease, if possible, the shortage of houses both In Paris and in the Provinces. A resumption In the motor building Industry is also reported as well as In the shoe-making business, where the retail prices of shoes show a slight decreasee. Aviation Site Is Held Up by Title BOSTON, June I.—Condemnation proceedings to acquire land for a naval aviation station, to be known as Chatham aviation field, have began In the Federal Court with the filing of a petition by the Government for the securing of property owned by about forty persons in Barnstable County. An appropriation of $75,000 was made by Congress for the purchase of the land under the urgent deficiency act, but the owners, it Is stated, failed to give the Government a clear title as promised. The Government contends it has been unable to purchase the land free from incumbrance and asks that a Jury In the Federal Court fix a purchase price on the various parcels In question.

Bootleg Whisky Has Petrifying Effect SUTHERLIN, Ore., Jnne I.—Many years ago W. E. St. John, president of the Oregon Growers’ Co-operative Association, placed a Spitzenberg apple in a Jar and covered It with a liquid mixture Intended to preserve It for exhibition purposes. Recently he removed the apple and found It to be stone—petrified, even to a portion of the stem. St. John does not recall the formu’a used In preserving the fruit, but is inclined to believe the mixture was very similar to that now being used by bootleggers in the manufacture of their product. rheumatism cure.

SPOKANE, Wash., June I.—Flames which shot from a stove and burnt Mrs. Alfred L’Ecuyer’s arm when she replenished the firebox with coal which had been stored in the basement resulted in the discovery of oil seeping into the excavation beneath the L’Ecuyer home, in the heart of Spokane’s residence district. Several gallons of the fldld were baled from the basement in a day, according to Mrs. L’Eeyeris account, conveyed by neighbors. Chief supporter of the theory that an oil gusher had been discovered in the basement, also chief exponent of higher real estate values in the district, is Mrs. William Reeves, a neighbor, who claims to have seen the precious fluid in the L’Ecuyer basement. To newspaper men Mrs. L’Ecuyer explained the presence of oil by stating that the coozy condition of her basement was caused by seepage from a nearby oil and gasoline service 'station. Some view this explanation with distrust, especially since there is said to be no service station within half a mile of the house. The fact that the L’Ecuyer basement is locked to visitors and that scores have been ordered off the premises also does little to quiet rumors of an oil strike in the heart of the city.

JURIST URGES THE RETURN OF WHIPPING POST ‘Lashes Every 30 Days’ Would Diminish Crime, Asserts Supreme Justice. PRISON TERMS USELESS NEW YORK, June I.—Lay the lash upon the felon’s back ! . Administer sharp physical pain and thereby purge the criminal of his desire fer evil deeds and protect Innocent citizenry against his depredations! A cure for crime—so old that It's new —suggested by Lewis L. Fawcett, of the Supreme Court of Brooklyn! The remedy—novel enough In these days—would bring back tne old institution of the whipping post, the cat-o-nine-tails and perhaps the stocks. “Stone walls do not a prison make,” observed an o’d poet, and likewise has Judge Fawcett repeated the familiar line in connection with his radical recommendation. And let it be known here that Judge Fawcett has been widely extolled for his clemency, and often called the man who wears “his heart upon his lapel.” Hence the startling aspect of his cure ror crime. Long prison terms do not deter or prevent crime, declares the Justice, who, several days ago, after passing sentence upon a man convicted of a hold-up, announced himself in favor of the whipping post, combined with shorter period of punishment in Jail. “1 would recommend the use of the lash upon certain types of criminals,” the Judge said today. "For robbery, burglary, blackhand and white-slave crimes, let the sheriff lash or hire huskies to whip these especially grave offenders.” The personal opinions of the Judge upon crime and punishment are not prompted by lack of sympathy for transgressors, or a belief that vengeance constitutes Justice. Nor does he go to the sentimental extreme of saying that to sentence a felon to a whipping would pain the court more than it would the criminal. Belief that nowadays we do not properly punish crime or try to prevent it, has prompted Justice Fawcett to advocate publicly the return to the lash as a ,means of promoting protection for normal, peaceful people. “The criminal’s state of mind,” said the Judge, “is quit* that of the child caught at the Jam jar. If he is taken early enough and given a punishment he won’t forget, he is apt to stay away from the jar. If not, he will become bolder and more complacent over his crimes. "Men go to Sing Sing and come out •time after time with a feeling, not that they have paid for crime, but that they have merely obtained asylum for a while. “Bed and board at- the expense of the taxpayers form the only risk that confronts the hold-up man or white slaver In the pursit of his career. “If he is caught he goes back again, relieved of the strain of ’work,' enjoys the comparatively pleasant existence in our modern penitentiary and suffers no punishment. “The number of old offenders that crops up continually proves prisons don’t reform. Then there Is* something wrong in the method of ‘punishment.’ “Instead of giving a fourth offender life’—always his fate —I would recommend six months in jail with a lashing every thirty days, the first strokes to fall previous to incarceration. “Let him be stripped to the waist and given ten welts with the lash. His skin may be broken, so let it be w r ashed with a salt water solution to prevent infection. "He will suffer more or less agony. The wounds will heal In twenty-two days, normally, and he will be free from pain about the time he is ready for bis next whipping. “At the end of his six months' imprisonment. when he gets the last lashing, he will leave Jail in pain. If he wishes to continue as a wrong-doer he will very likely leave the State where such severe penalties await him. “He will never come back for more. “He will not blackjack any more innocent citizens to drive them incurably Insane from blows on the skull. He will not rob and injure any more victims and make little children dependent upon institutional care and force helpless women unfitted for work to go out into the world of toil. “The defective, of course should not he whipped. But we must believe that many bad ’people want to be bad.”

Auto Thieves Prove Fastidious Parties CHICAGO, June I.—Chicago automobile thieves like fine cars, but in a pinch will take what they can get until they can acquire a better one. P. J. Murray, an automobile salesman, missed his machine and found a note saying: “Have borrowed your car for a little while.” A few night later he saw his car standing at the curb. This time he found another note which read: "Much obliged—we have a better car now.” SOB SISTERS DUPE PUBLIC. PARIS, June I.—All Paris was touched a month ago by the story of two young girls whose parents had been killed by the war and who, having lost their employment in a factory through illness, sprang together, one Sunday afternoon in the River Seine, but were rescued. A newspaper opened a subscription for them which is said to have reached 310.000. The statement is now made In the Eclair that the girls are excellent swimmers who have played the same trick on the generous public in several provincial towns.
