SOME STEEL ISSUES STRONG

Sugar Stocks Again Weak— Market Close Irregular.

NEW YORK. June 4.—The stock market closed Irregular today. Tha steel Industrials were strong while weakness was again shown in the sugar stocks. Punta-Alegra Sugar sold down to 23, a loss of nearly 5 points. Cuba Cane common yielded to anew low record of 13c and the preferred sold down to 38%e, a loss of over 4 points. Uptonrns of from 1 to 2 points occurred in many of the active Industrials, Baldwin Locomotive closing at 78%. United States Steel at 8014. Crucible at •0%, Mexican Petroleum 154% and Studebaker at 72%. Fractional recoveries occurred In the railroad shares. Total sales of stocks were 344,600 shares; bonds. $5,303,000. Total sales stocks this week were 2,714,100 shares; bonds. $64,021,000. (By Thomson 4 McKinnon.) —June 4 The early trading was not Indicative of any change In market conditions or •sentiment. There was a renewal of commission house liquidation, but only on a moderate scale. There was some buying by the professional element, but not becaose of any change of heart, but merely to reduce commitments over the week end. Thereafter followed a period of Irregular trading with some pressure here and there, when the market was suddenly taken by surprise by a rather sensational advance in a few railroad Issues. The immediate cause for this sudden advance is not at all certain, but whatever It may be it served the purpose of disclosing a sold-ont condition in this department of the market, for upon no other theory could there be an explanation of a rise of five points in a railroad stock on a very moderate volume of business. This was Influential In creating a little uneasiness among shorts in the industrial list. Some covering followed but a few Stocks, notably American International continued to suffer from professional pressure as well as liquidation. There is nothing on the surface at least to encourage buyers, but It is probably well to bear In mind that all moves have limits and the present decline has gone to such an extent as to fully, if not overdiscount the unsatisfactory business conditions in the country.

Stock Market Review

NEW YORK, June 4.—The Sun's financial review today said: “The stock list was sluggishly unsettled through a greater part of the first hour in today’s short session. After that covering operations were in order and a firmer tone developed. “There was no Initiative in any quarter, however, and there was little interest in the rather perfunctory proceedings. “Brokerage houses were quite deserted and many of the floor traders absented themselves for the week-end. “A feature of the day's business was the unwonted strength of Louisville and Nashville shares, which sold above 110, a 4 point gain on the day. “The oil group presented a mixed appearance. “The covering movement in the second half was not particularly expansive. “Motors made the best showing perhaps on the rally. Chandler taking the lead. Crucible Steel advanced a point net. "Gains elsewhere were moderate and business continued quiet. “There was a better tone in the bond list. Government war issues recovering further substantial portions of their recent heavy losses.”

GRAINS LOSE FORMER GAINS July Wheat Down 5 3-4 Cents —September Off 61-2 Cents. CHICAGO, June 4.—Grains lost much ground today, finishing at the bottom. News was bearish. Provisions ruled sharply higher. July wheat was 5%c off. September wheat closed 6%@6%c under the opening price. July corn was l@l%c off and September 1%®1%c down. July outs were l%c lower and September I®l%c off. IBy Thomson & McKinnon.) •—June 4 Wheat— Distinctly favorable weather for rounding out the crop of winter and more favorable reports from Nebraska and parts of Kansas nave increased a nautral desire, to accept pronts on wheat holdings. Prices have been more than ordinarily sensitive to selling, owing to withdrawal of export buyers. The cessation of foreign demand Is P r< ?“ ab riJ temporary and it is believed that it will be revived with any appearance of strength In this market or in case the weather over the Southwest turns un _ favorable. Country offerings have fallen off on the decline, while milling interests have been bidding better basis, especially for hard winter wheat, five days shipment from the country. No. 1 hard sold today at 81 cents over July and bids to the country for five days’ shipment are 23 to 26 cents over July. The discount for the September delivery is to be accounted for by the flattering outlook for the spring wheat crop, also by the fact that exporters' biddings are in the July delivery. The Weather Bureau prediction is for several days of the present favorable condition, therefore market may continue Its present easy appearance, but we feel that a 10 cent reaction from an advance, which waa brought about by a foreign demand and not by a crop scare, Is about all that market is entitled to. Corn and Oats—The action of wheat has been reflected in corn and oats, but the selling has been Inconsequential, whereas the buying, especially In corn, has been of substantial sort. The foreign demand for corn is brisk, from which we gather that the export demand for wheat will be quickly revived when the market changes. The offerings of corn and oats from the country are distinctly small, In addition to which there promises to be a very large movement of thrt present accumulations to the Last Crop news both corn and oats is generally favorable, but we believe the casn situation is of more importance than the crop outlook. We believe anticipation of lower prices is inadvisable. Provisions—lt is not possible to tell of any broadening of interest in provisions or iinportaut Improvement In the foreign demand. However, the warehouse accumulations are well held. Receipts of bogs this week have been smaller than expected and if the movement next week is correspondingly light, values will at least remain firm aud should Improve a little.

HITS ‘ILLEGAL’ USE OF COUNTY TREASURY COIN (Continued From Page One.) budget It s-aises the question of whether all the so-called “appropriations” made by either the city councils or the county councils are not illegal for the two reasons that they have not theretofore been set up in the budget and thereby subjected to public remonstrance, and that they are appropriations from a fund that does not exist, as all money In the treasury is held in trust for such purposes as were set out in the budget. WILL HAVE FARREACHING EFFECT. Maintenance of this theory of the tax law will have a far-reaching effect on the several taxing corporations of the State. For example, in Indlgnapolis the law could be held to prevent the city council from transferring money from any one of the funds created by the budget to any other fund, or from appropriating any money from the city treasury. In effect, It might be held that the budget Is the only legal appropriation possible and that no money can exist in the city treasury which is subject to appropriation by the council or subject to expenditure for any other than the purposes shown “in detail” In the budget. ROOKER EXPLAINS HIS SIDE OF CASE. Applying his theory of the tax law to the suit for injunction against the county officials and the chief accountant of the beard of accounts, Mr. Rooker says: “The budget system is a newly improvised affair. It was first introduced into the laws of Indiana, insofar as it affects any Issue in this suit, by the act of July 31, 1920. (Acta 1920, page 164) The act of July 31. 1920, contained an emergency clause, which forecloses doubt that the budget system became effective of July 31, 1920. (Acts 1920, page 164.) levies of 1920 were made on the plan of the budget system. We, therefore, no longer have a general fund. Section 3 of the Act of July 31, 1920, contains the following provisions: “ 'The several tax levies shall be established by the legal officers of any municipal corporation after the formulation and publication by them of a BUDGET, on forms prescribed by the State board of accounts, SHOWING IN DETAIL THE MONEY PROPOSED TO BE EXPENDED DURING THE SUCCEEDING YEAR, the valuation of all taxable property within the jurisdiction and the rate of taxation which it is proposed to establish, and after a public hearing within the jurisdiction at which any taxpayer shall have the right to be hoard thereon. TEN DAYS’ NOTICE BY PUBLICATION OF SUCH BUDGET AND OF SUCH PUBLIC HEARING • * • SHALL BE REQUIRED. The several tax levies as established by the proper legal officers of anv municipal corporation • • • SHALL STAND AS THE TAX LEVIES OF SUCH MUNICIPAL CORPORATION FOR THE YEAR NEXT SUCCEEDING FOX THE PURPOSES SET OUT IN THE REPORT OF THE COUNTY AUDITOR AS CERTIFIED TO THE STATE BOARD OF TAX COMMISSIONERS. subject to the right of appeal, etc. • • •' DESIO VST R ATES GENERAL FI ND IS OBSOLETE. "By the amendatory act of March 10, 1921 (Acta 1921. page 640) there were changes made In the appellate provisions of the budget act, but none of these changes affect the provlaiona of the law a* above quoted. It stands conclusive, therefore, that the Legislature has by this act taken away from the State examiner power to make certificates for the payment of warrants out of the general fund of the county: likewise the Legislature has taken away from the county auditor the power to issue warrants payable out of the general fund of the county; likewise the Legislature has taken away from the county treasurer the custody of a general fund out of which any warrants may be paid. What then Is the situation? May the field examiners be paid out of the levy specifically Imposed for the maintenance of the Marion Circuit Conrt ? That levy was pruned down in the beginning and it was made on the certificate of those officers who knew the proper charges and expenses of the Marlon Circuit Court. And as the field examiners cannot, be paid out of the funds specifically provided to maintain the Marion Circuit Court, so the field examiners cannot be paid out of any other specific fund of the county, and as the budget system provides no fundi other than specific funds, and each of these Is a trust fund which cannot be diverted, the old law is destroyed which allowed the State's examiner to require the payment of his field force out of the general fund of the county. “Not only could those trust funds, if diverted to the payment of field examiners, be pursued and recovered back to those who had got them in violation of the trust, but further than that penalties are imposed on any officer who shall be guilty of violating any provisions of this act, etc. (Acts 1919, page 371) and the official bond of the delinquent officer would, of course, be responsible for the moneys unlawfully paid out. “SHOULD BE THANKFUL TO ESCAFK PENALTY.” "Mr. Feeler aud Mr. Lemcke. and Indeed Mr. Eschbach, with their sureties should be thankful that the court by its injunction in this case will protect them from the penalties the law imposes for the violation. “Not only have these safeguards been taken, but the General Assembly has repealed the law, as will be shown presently under which It was at one time pretended that a roving commission was granted to the State examiner to dispose the general funds of counties. The repeal of that pretended law was due to the fact that it was a violation of the constitution of this State as well as of the Nation. And this will be shown. It will appear that the State is getting on safe grounds and all that is required is for this court to make that exposition of the law which the law demands. Moreover, It is a familiar principle that sureties on an official bond are bound only within the terms of the official as provided by law. It would expose sureties on official bonds to a most unusual peril If their principals had not duties which were ultimately fixed by law; If the duties of their principals were rovnlg duties depending from day to day upon the caprice of the State board of accounts. Such a situation cannot be conceived. If such situation were In reality before us, then every official bond would either be exposed to Insolvency or be wholly released because change in duties has been imposed of which the sureties were without notice and situations had been brought about to which the sureties had never given their consent. Either of these perils is beyond the just, sane and reasonable contemplation of the law and all the fancied troubles will disappear when the State board of accounts is required to remain within the sphere to which the law has ascribed it. NEW LA55’ IS BOCK RIBBED. “The new tax law Is mandatory in its terms. None of its provisions may be disregarded within the lawful discretion of any official. The budget system is the sole warrant and provision for assembling revenue for the taxpayers, and the budget system bears no indefinite or floating funds out of which the State examiner can exact payment for his field men. Should the county officials comply with the certificate of the State's examiner, then the county officials would be exposed to criminal prosecution and their official bonds to action for damages arising out of malfeasance in office and the extent to which the field examiners were paid on the certificate of the State wojUd constitute a defalcation ’S'* A" ' V ■A 1 ' JV ' / -..-if-

the budget system, not only takes away the general fund out of which the State examiner could have color for hi demand of payment for field exav>-,ners, but, also, tWe new tax law tak;s avyay the general fund out of which thi county council formerly could make api ropriations. There is no county fund, therefore, out of which the field examiners can be paid whether on the certificate of the chief examiner or on an appropriation by the county council. This new situation is not one in which the State has involved itself with embarrassment, but on the contrary the situation is one in which the State has relieved Itself from embarrassment by making It further impossible for the State board of accounts to function as It has functioned heretofore. The State board of accounts hag brought its situation upon Itself. Its roving career pt faultless reprehension and calumny with so little to show for it except vainglorious newspaper publicity for the State examiner, has nauseated the people. The result is obvious and it is the irresistible end of the course which the department has elected to pursue. They were created to inspect and supervise public offices. They were an auditing board. Some fatuous newspaper articles led them from the path of quiet duty into a quixotic search for the limelight. They became blinded to the spirit of the age. * • * “Not only has the State board of accounts set Itself against the trend of the times respecting the liberty of opportunity in contracting, but it has a role in which it is the curator of the people. Men who chance their fortunes in contracts which contravene tee law, chance their fortunes in void coi tracts. If we could Indulge the Inconceivable presumption that the only honest men were those assembled in the State board of accounts; and that all the other people were rascals who had to be watched we still would have to go farther, to justify the misconception of the State board of accounts. We would have to assume not only that all business men were rascals but also that they were fools who did not husband their fortunes but chanced their investments in contracts for the enforcement of which the law denied a remedy.” CARS TAKEN IN BOOZE RAIDS ARE RETURNED (Continued From Page One.) car after it had been seized and damaged It severely. This aroused the Ire of the court. “The prohibition act does not contemplate the free use of cars by the Government,” Judge Geiger said, “and for agnets to make use of seized cars is highly reprehensible.” He said that he would order the Government to pay the cost of repairs on the machine. Inthe hearing of the case against Tony Jessup and James Bright it developed that while prohibition agents were driving the seized automobile from Brazil to Terrd Haute a wheel bad been broken and the owner paid a bill of $17.50 for repairs. Judge Geiger ordered that this sura be repaid. Judge Geiger left for Milwaukee this afternoon. Charles H. Borgman, formerly a freight engineer on the Big Four railroad, was found not guilty cf a charge of stealing from ar* interstate freight shipment by a Jury yesterday. In making its case the Government depended largely upon the testimony of Charles Cousin, a boy who was stealing a ride when the robbery was committed. He identified Borgman, but insisted that he had a scar on the left side of his face, when as a matter of fact he had none when he took the stand in his own behalf. All criminal eases in which defendants hare been confined in Jail were disposed of by Judge Geiger this week. Criminal cases in which defendants are out on bond will be tried betore Judge Anderson next fall. It was noticeable throughout the trials that the sentences imposed by Judge Geiger for stealing from Interstate shipments and transporting stolen automobiles in Interstate traffic were considerably lighter than those usually imposed by Judge Anderson in cases of a similar character.

ACTION OF JUDGE PARTS MOTHER AND CHILDREN (Continued From Page One.) children said to have been bora out of wedlock. Judge Moll stated. This strange case involved dli?ctly or Indirectly eleven children, nine of whom are living and two who are dead ‘‘Never in my experience have I h:.d such a case before me,” said Judgo Moll. The evidence shows that May 20, 1919, Mrs. Ruby Richardson filed suit for divorce before Judge Moll against Richardson. She asked for the custody of the four children —Helen, 12 at that time; Opal, 10; Charles, 8; Howard, 2 years. She was granted the divorce, the custody of the four children and Richardson, who was not in court, was ordered to pay a certain allowance. At the trial, Clyde V, Thomas was called as a resident witness for Mrs. Richardson. In December, 1919. the former Mra. Richardson filed a citation before Judge Moll, charging that her divorced husband had failed to provide for her as ordered. When the petition was heard, Mrs. Richardson failed to appear and Richardson stated that his wife had left for parts unknown. The court absolved him from i paying the allowance. According to the evidence, Rlchard- ; son later located his divorced wife and ! the children at Brazil, and told the : court that she at that time was nurai lng a two-months-old baby and that Thomas was there. By an agreement Richardson obtained the custody of his two sons, whom he has supported ever since. MRS. THOM4B FILED HER SUIT JAN. 10. On Jan. 10, 1921, Mrs. Clyde V. Thomas brought suit In the Marlon County Court for divorce against Thomas and asked for the custody of her three children—Howard E., 21 and married; Francis, 14, and Earl, 9. She named Mrs. Ruby Richardson as the other woman. She alleged that Thomas was then the father of a child by Mrs. Richardson at Brazil, according to the evidence. Last Wednesday Richardson appeared in court and asked Judge Moll to modify the divorce decree so that he could obtain legal custody of his four children. On Thursday last, Mrs. Clyde V. Thomas obtained a divorce from Thomas and the custody of her three children, the records show. On Friday Ruby Richardson and Clyde V. Thomas were married after securing a marriage license here. Today Judge Moll heard the evidence supporting Richardson's motion asking for the custody of his four children. According to the record, the former Mrs. Richardson, when called to the stand in her own behalf, admitted that Thomas was the father of her two youngest children and that she had been living with Thomas, as charged in the divorce petition of Mrs. Thomas. Mr. Richardson has been living at 835 North Pine street with his mother. COUPLE SCORED BY JUDGE MOLL. “There is no evidence which reflects on the children of the couples born in wedlock,” Judge Moll stated. “The marriage yesterday of Thomas and the former Mrs. Richardson legitimatizes the two children said to have been born prior to their marriage.” Judge Moll scored the conduct of Thomas and the former Mrs. Richardson. “The former Mrs. Richardson contended that the cruelty of Richardson was the cause of her misbehavior,” Judge Moll stated. “No possible misconduct on the part of s husband could ever justify such immorality on the part of any woman.” The court besides referring the case to the grand Jury to determine If there was perjury and also to investigate the alleged charges, directed that the case be referred to the Marion County Juvenile Court to see if probable charges of contributing to the delinquency of should be filed against Thomas and his new wife. WHISKY AND SALT GREAT ( REMEDY f Court, However, Can't See It as Plague ‘Cure.' Anew tuberculosis “remedy” has beeu discovered. It is whisky and salt. The “remedy” became known for th# first time late yesterdaj in the Marion County Criminal Court, when Edward McGinley attempted to explain the possession of about seven pints of bottled in bond whisky which was found in his room at the St. Charles Hotel by the police. “Whisky and what?” asked Judge James M. Collins. “And salt,” answered McGinley, who was testifying as a witness in behalf of Thompson Thomas of the St. Charles Hotel, who was charged with operating a blind tiger. "I will admit,” explained Eph Inman, attorney representing Thomas, “that I have never heard of salt being put in whisky. I do recall such a thing In the case of beer. This witness claims that he added salt to his whisky as medicine on the directions of a doctor.” Thomas, who appealed his case fro., the city court, did not claim the whisky, McGinley tok the stand and admitted the ownership of seven pints. Thomas was found not guilty and Judge Collins ordered police officers to take McGinley to police headquarters and slate him on a charge of violating the State prohibition law. McGinley testified that when he was released from the army he learned that he had tuberculosis and that a doctor recommended the taking of whisky witii salt as a cure for the white plague. Judge Collins remarked that the witness might have Intended to say that It was seltzer Instead of salt. “That’s anew remedy,” remarked Judge Collins.
