LEADING STOCKS MAKE RALLIES Market Unsettled in Final Hour of Trade. NEW YORK. June 17.—The stock market closed irregular today. The market was unsettled in the late dealings after most of the leading issues had made good rallies from the low levels. United States Steel, after moving up to 75%. yielded to 74% and Republic Steel was in demand, advancing over 1 point to 46. Mexican Petroleum, after its 5 point drop to 103%. recovered all its loss and then broke to its low mark. Studebaker recovered 3 points Jto 75%, from which it reacted again to 73%. The railroad stocks were dull and practically unchanged. American Woolen recovered _ over 3 points over its early low to 70% and Com Products moved up 2% points to C 2%. Total sales of stocks were 789,400 shares; bonds, $10,294,000. (Thomson & McKinnon) —June 17 — Overnight developments were in no respect influential from a market standpoint. There was nothing that could in any way be construed either for or against Values. The opening was rather quiet and uninteresting. There was some investment business, but as on every day during the past few weeks, liquidating orders soon found their way into brokers hands, and this selling again unsettled the market, many stocks establishing new low records. United States Steel attracted attention because of this fact, though the maximum decllns was not at all impressive. But in the group of equipment issues the losses were more severe and the fluctuations spectacular. Corn products was a sufferer today and thero was further liquidation in some issues that have been prominent in the recent decline. Following a short period of stead ness, came the announcement that the directors of the Chesapeake & Ohio failed to take action on the dividend and this was soon followed by a selling wave in this and in some of the other lower priced railroad issues. The market has reached a point where It is needless and useless to discuss values. It is merely a question new as to when this pressure will cease. In looking toward the future, however, we must keep ever in mind the difference between a stabilized market and a rising cno. We may have the former at any moment. It is overdue now: hut it is nseless to look for the latter until the foundation hns been laid in industry, where much remains to be done, not only here but in all sections of the world.

GRAIN FUTURES SHOW GAINS Unfavorable Crop Reports Cause Rallies. CHICAGO, June 17— Unfavorable reports on crops conditions were reflected in higher prices ou the Chicago Board of Trade today. Provisions were slightly higher. July wheat opened at sl3l, up 2%c, and closed %c higher. September Wheat opened ut $1.24, was up 2%c, and closed %C up. July corn opened up 2%c at 65c and gained %e at the close. September corn opened up %c at 64c and closed l%c higher. July oats opened l%e higher at 39 and was %c off at the close. September outs opened up l%c at 40%c and gained %c before the close. (By Thomson A McKinnon) —June 17— Wheat—The world’s wheat situation Is much too evenly balanced yet for any very low, or even cheap, prices and the United States and Canadian crop is vital to any stability at all, so that the outcome of the wheat crops In North America Is very Important. We are in for a moderate sized winter wheat crop and start in with a prospect of a smaller spring wheat crop than usual. The prospect is for further cutting down of our winter wheat totals and spring wheat has all its vicissitudes before It with mutterlngs of black rust trouble right in the foreground. The action of our market, today, opening up about 6 cents per bushel on September wheat, show how susceptible we are to present crop conditions. There wero no new black rust reports, but the weather was hot, with probabilities of turning unsettled In the oorthwest. Hot weather and rains would likely develop muggy conditions there which are favoiable to rust development. The continuation of the English coal strike, the break in cotton and some weakness in Wall street induced selling in wheat for profits. We look for very unsettled highly changeable markets, but lean to the buying side of September wheat, while present conditions continue. Cash wheat prices were up with the futures and premiums were firm at yesterday's differences. Corn and Oats—Corn and oats sharply higher, corn on hot dry weather and export demand, and oats on some further unfavorable crop reports. Both these cereals are in a good speculative position to respond to any adverse crop matters rnd look to us as though tending higher. The general forecast 1* for fair weather and intense heat over the Middle West for several days. This condition Is very bullish on oats. CHICAGO GRAIN TABLE.

The decree was granted when Carter offered in evidence a letter from his wife, which read: “I would have written yon long ago but *t seemed right to wait until the war was over and you were safely through ♦hat experience. With the end of the war comes the end of the contract I entered Into so hastily, I want to be released from it now. I'll not live with you again as your w’ife.” The Carters met In March, 1917, and were married June 21. They parted Sept. 13, 1917 : when Carter went overseas.

Capital Is Agog on Question of Social Leadership Ancient War on ‘Who's Who ’ Breaks Out Anew in Washington. WASHINGTON, June 17.—With the White House again the social center of Washington, there has broken out anew the anclert war over the question of "Who's Who in the national capital.” Students of etiquette, social leaders and social climbers, diplomats and statesmen are all engaged in disputing the question over teacups and cocktail glasses (yea. there are still a few in use in the capital). The President, of course, ranks every one in Washington, even the first lady of the land. Official etiquette demands that the President go first everywhere, and if you see a photograph of the Presi dent preceding the first lady of the land as they leave church nr enter It, don't think the chief executive discourteous He has to do it, for official etiquette demands it, chivalry or no. (Perhaps this may be a matter to be taken up by the feminists ) The Vice President ranks next to the President.

So far it is very easy. But now comes the moot question. Who ranks next to the Vice President? Recently on a White House dinner guest list the Speaker of the House was ranked Just beneath the Vice President. Immediate consternation resulted. State Department etiquette sharks took the matter up with the dictators of White House formality. A lengthy discussion followed and precedents were searched In the Congressional Library. The State Deportment sharks were victorious. When the dinner was served the Secretary of State sat next to the Vice President. This victory caused a small sensation and led to some protest front members of the United States Senate, who declared that had they been present at the dinner they would certainly have felt , entitled to sit above a-ny Cabinet member, for they argue that the Senate makes the Cabinet, and it is only by Senate approval that a Cabinet officer gets his position. Then along come member* of Congress, who declare that they are on a social par with the members of the Senate, for don't they represent the people Just as much ns the Senators? No one has really determined Just where the Justices of the United States Supreme Court fit in this scheme of rank. : Genera) John J. Pershing offers an- j other problem to those who have the duty of seeing that all social prerogatives are preserved and that no feelings are injured. \ Certainly there will be a social sen- , sation if the President, the Vice President, members of the Cabinet and both branches of Congress, the Diplomatic Corps and the General of the Armies ot the United States even sit down at dinner together, for nobody knows yet Just "Who's Who in the National Capital." ‘Treat ’Em Rough,’ Advice to Hubbies LONDON, June 17.—" Husbands, beat your wives Into submission!" This, in effect, is the advice Mtrgis trate Symmons would like to give to husbunds, instead of doling out orders for Judicial separation. When a young woman applied to him s for a separation order on the ground of the cruelty of her husband, the husband admitted the assaults, but said that she kept undesirable company. This the young woman denied. Whereupon Symmons commented: "7 have invariably found that, where a man knocks his wife about, It is the wife's fault. A man is no longer master in his own bouse. A woman promises to ‘love, honor and obey,' but obedience can not he enforced. "Under the good old law a man could thrash his wife so long ns the stick was no thicker than his thumb. But now the law is wobbly and weak kneed, and we have instead these miserable maintenance orders, and there is no domestic happiness."

Spouse' Spit on Her, Flint Wife Set Free FLINT, Mich., Juno 17.—Declaring her husband spit in her face upon two occasions when she attempted to kiss him goodby, as he left for work, Lottie Ingersoll was granted a divorce from Charles C. Ingeraoll, by Judge E. D. Black. Lucy Williams, 29, married fourteen years and mother of eleven children, suing on grounds of cruelty and non-sup-port, was freed from Louis Williams. She allege! her husband brought another woman to her home and she left. Declaring that during her married life of six months her husband never bought her a thing to wear, while she stayed at home and took care of his children by a former marriage. Ruby Grace Cranshaw was given a decree from Grover G Cranshaw. Sho told the court that only once did she go out and then her husbnnd accused her of being with another man. CHICAGO PRODUCE.

Pat Kelly was hard In luck In March, 1920, when his handcar became unruly and, leaving the railroad track ran up Pat’s back. Injuring his spine. He was taken to a hospital In St. Joseph, Mo., where the accident occurred. The next day the claim agent for the railroad put In appearance. He offered to pay Pat’s hospital bill and let It go l at that. Pat demurred and wanted $50,000. The claim agent, according to Pat, increased his offer to S3OO, and Pat reduced his estimate of damages by ten times as much, and offered toisettle for $45,006. There matters rested for several days and then Miss Summers, or Miss Martin, appeared on the scene. Pat, just Jike Mr. Jiggs of cartoon fame, blessed the day the handcar became unruly. The pretty girl fell violently In love with him, he says in his petition. He couldn't account for her taste. She came to see him at the hospital. “What's your name?” 6he asked him the first time she saw him. “Pat Kelly," answered the injured section man. "Why, you're Irish, aren’t you?" she asked again. "How in the world did ye guegs it miss?’’ replied Mr. Kelly. And the courtship was “on." Stella told him her mother was "mean" to her and she wanted to get a home of her very own. Pat gallantly offered his heart and his home, telling her the latter was one end of a boxcar sitting on the ground beside the tracks. But he also told her that when he settled his claim against the railroad he would have a real home for her. Stella accepted, he says In his petition. But he also alleges that, in tne light of later developments, she had not the least Intention of carrying out her promise of marriage. Miss Summers wanted to be married in Omaha. So she and Pat came up nere. Miss Summers went to the Conant hotel, where you can got a room and bath for $2.50 a day. Pat went to the Northwestern hotel, where you can get a room for 75 cents and you don’t have to take a bath except on Saturday night. The municipal bathhouse is only one block distant.

In his petition Pat says Miss Summers insisted he settle his claim with the railroad company so that he could get money for them to live on. "Got tlie claim fixed up Hnd then we will go to California and live with my aunt, who has nearly all the money in the world," Pat's petition says Miss Summer* proposed. "We'll help her spend it." Pot was for marrying at once, but Miss Stella put him off until he had spent all his money. Then she arranged an Interview with the railroad claim agent. The agent offered $2,590 In settlement of the $45,000 suit. Fat demurred again. "How can you live at the Com nt when all our money's gone?” lat asked his fiancee. “Oh. I don't eat much, anyway," she told him, he says in his petition. But that same day Pat says he had reasons to become suspicious. Miss Summers opened her bag to "flour her nose,” as Pat expressed it. and the section hand saw a big roll of bills. Pat stalled for a time. He grew more suspicious. Then ha went to see his lawyer. In his petition Pat says the plan was that he and Miss Summers were to start for California, she occupying the drawing room of a Pullman while he held down a seat in the smoking coach. "It would never do for us to occupy the same car going out,” he says she told him. When they got to California the marriage wes to be performed and thereafter they would spend auntie's money like water. But in another section of the petition Pat says the real plan was that once the railroad suit was settled and the two got on the train Miss Summers was to drop off during the night and let him continue his bride-less journey alone. Wherefore, Pat claims, he was "disappointed, humiliated, mortified and damaged to the extent of an additional $50,000. Service was secured upon Miss Summers at 1 o'clock in the morning at her room in the Conant. And while the love dream of the honest railroad handcar chauffeur is broken, he now has a claim against the railroad for $95,000, instead of for only $15,000.

Stewart, a clerk, was let off by Judge Knox with one day's imprisonment and a fine of SSO.

Five other victims relied on the youth's assumed femininity and forwarded him sums of money.

SAFE ROBBING OTHER ROLE OF SHIFTY ARTIST Sketches Captors and Telia Them ‘Art Is Long, Life Expensive/ NEW YORK, June 17.—" Art Is loug and life is short." *■ So runs the proverb. It tells only half the story. Art doesn't always pay; the charges for living are fixed and immutable. Joseph Benedtx, artist, knew the proverb and knew the fact He felt the need, until art was self-supporting, ot taking on some remunerative side lino not exactly "trade.” He found one. John Bauer, the burglar, was bora. Mr. Bauer was at work late In tho afternoon In the offices of the International Commercial Company on the twen-ty-fourth floor of the Metropolitan tower. A few deft twists of his wrist had opened/ the door of the big ‘‘burglar-proof’ safe , In the corner. " DASHES FOR ELEVATOR. The office door opened. E. N. Desherbinin, general manager of the concern, hnd forgotten something. The man who belonged in the place and the man who didn't saw each other at the same Instant. The burglar made a dash for the door and squeezed through. He had a good start up the corridor. An elevator hesitated long enough to aomlt him, then shot downward. Several seconds passed before another elevator took Desherblnin aboard. Ho begged the operator: "Make it an express for the rest of the way. I'm after a burglar in the other car.” “LOCAL” BEATS “EXPRESS." The “local" nevertheless, was the first elevator at the street level. Desherblnin landed In time to see his man run from the building. He. followed. A block away the fugitive ran into the arms of Policeman William Potter. Detectives looked first at the offico safe end then at John Bauer, burglar, whom they recognized. They asked. “How in the world did you get that box open? Jimmy Valentine couldn’t even have done it in a story.' Bauer smiled. The police say he replied: “That took a lot of science. But I U let you fellows in on the secret. This afternoon, early, I broke Into an office in the Metropolitan Opera House Building—no relation to the tower, of course. On a check stub I found an address and something that looked like a combination. The office I was just in was the address. The combination worked. "Simple, dear Watson.” RETURN for tools Ills UNDOING. y Then the young burglar called atten-; tlon to tho fact that a comparatively j weak door, within the Base, had baffled. him. He said he'd given up the Job once and gone away, only to discover he’d' left some tools. That, combined with the' unfortunate circumstance that the gen- j eral manager had forgotten something; himself, had led to his undoing. For John Bauer, who had In his pock-; ets keys to three rooms in the Hotel, Bristol, the detectives had a Jong record. They remembered he had “worked! rooms" In evening dress, in the Hotel* Plaza and- Astor some years ago. They 1 knew he had done time Intermittently since 1912. But It was the burglar himself who j told them about Joseph Benedlx, the j artist. Just to prove he wasn't lying , he called for pencil and paper. One after j another he sketched his captors. To ; them his likenesses were marvels of fidelity. In one voice they asked the question : "Why should a man who can draw like you want to steal?” Said Benedix-Bauer, quite softly t “Art Is long, and life—is expensive.”
