HOLIDAYS FAIL TO CHECK SOME MARKET DEALS General Motors Breaks From Lethargy and Makes Gain. OTHER ISSUES ADVANCE Special to Indiana Daily Times and Philadelphia Public Ledger. By MONITOR. NETS' YORK, Nov. B.—ln spite of the holiday today and another coming on Friday the stock market yesterday showed a good deal of strength, although the volume of trading naturally was curtailed. Advances at the close were Quite numerous throughout the list, and they were registered In unexpected quarters. For example, General Motors, which has been lethargic for months, broke out of its rule on a very large turn-over and made a gain of more than one point. Jones Tea started oft with an over-night gain of two points, and at the close was only a fraction below the high point of the evening. The oils made a rather disappointing response to the early announcement of an advance of 50 cents per barrel In mid-continent crude. This caused considerable selling in the forenoon, in the last hour, however, there was a marked change In the undertone of this group, and under the leadership of Pacific Oil, Which made a net advance of 1% points, the domestic issues nil showed increas- , ing firmness. Mexican Petroleum was quite active and sold up to 109%, although protit-taking cut down this gain. The strength in General Motors was largely responsible for the buying that came Into the other motor shares. Studebaker responded only moderately, but Chandler was freely bought. The steels were sluggish. The' rails generally moved within narrow limits, practically the only exceptions being Great Northern and Northern Pacific, which were in active demand toward the close on rumors of a Burlington dividend, which would go ; largely to reimburse these companies for recent expenditures in behalf of Bur- i Ungton.—Copyright, 1921, by Public! Ledger Company. Wall street gossip bv monitor. Marked irregularity in the course of prices during the day was due in part - to the holidays today and Friday with the consequent reluctance of traders to take a position, and in part to the technical position of Individual stocks The strength in specialties which had been manifest throughout the early trading spread to the market as a whole In the last hour and the close was buoyant with 6horts bidding eagerly for stocks With which to cover their commitments. For the first time in many months General Motors on very large transactions advanced more than a point and held Its gain to the close. One bnying order for 15,000 shares of stock started this movement whicb spread speedily to the other motors. Chandler which had ; registered an opening gain of one point, j after selling back to Saturday's close, re- J hewed its advance and sold at 47, anew high price for the present movement. Btudebaker. which had been under pres- ■ cure earlier in the day also participated i In the strength of the closing hour. There was no news to account for the advances, j and they were ascribed generally to speculative operations.

Corn Products refining on tuying attributed to Inside Interests, advanced to 88, which Is anew high for the present movement. Not long ago it was predicted this stock would before the end of the year sell higher than at any time last year. Jones Tea was one of the specialties which was strong on the announcement that the specialist In Corn Products, with a group of his friends, had acquired a substantial Interest in the property and anticipate favorable developments in the near future. The last published statement of operations shoved a loss of 5250.0P0 for the month of September, but It Is understood that '.his unfavorable showing was due to the marking down of ths last of its Inventories to the lowest market price. Operations now are reported as being at a rate which will phow $3 per share annually earned on the stock. Burns Brothers was under pressure for pome unexplained reason. From a recent high of 114, the price declined to 110. The steel stocks were the laggards In the upturn late In the afternoon. Trade reports do not give any indication of a maintenance of the improved operating ratios which have been in evidence for the last month and traders are inclined to sell these stocks in the belief the recent advance has more than discounted the Improvement in the industry. Selling In the Domestic Oils which carried some of them to new low prices for the reaction was halted when the Sinclair Consolidated and the Prairie Oil and Gas Company published an advance of 50 cents per barrel in the price of Mid-Continent Crude OIL Call money which opened and renewed at 5 per cent advanced during the day to 6 per cent at which rate it closed. The loans carry over for two days, and there was the usual pre-holiday demand for funds which served to harden the rate. The clearing house bank etatmant of Saturday indicated there would be uo abundance of money during this week. The Lafayette arrived with $4 465.000 from France and the Ilansa brought Beventy-flve rases of silver from Germany. A small shipment of $17,000 in gold arrived from Central American porta. Kuhn A Cos. report that *3.300.000 Is arriving for them on the Aquttaula which sailed Saturday. The F. W. XVuoiworth Company report* an increase in sales for October of $1,164,505 and for the ten months period an increase of $10,396 221. Great Northern and Northern Pacific Were heavily bought Just before the close on rumor that the directors of the Chicago. Burlington & Quincy would meet and declare a cash dividend of not less than sls a share on the stock of that company, a large proportion of which Is held ■'by the other two roads Jointly. It is understoodo this pot necessarily will indicate an additional disbursement to the stockholders of the Great Northern and Northern Pacific, but is rather a repayment to those companies for expenditures which they have made for the Burlington. This"payment-will, if made. Increase the strength of the cash position of the Hill properties.—Copyright, 1021, by Public Ledger Company. WHOLESALE FEED PRICES. Ton.

SWINE MARKET BREAKS SHARPLY Farmers Rush Hogs to Marts in Effort to Liquidate. CHICAGO, Nov. 8. —Hog prices broke sharply today on the live stock markets of the country. Prices here for medium grades were $7.35 a hundred pounds, the lowest since January 1916. This was a decline of from 25 to 40 cents. 1.-rge receipts, which caused the price to slump, were attributed to desire of laxuiei* to liquidate.

Watson Scores Legion; Thinks Men Aid Weeks Charges Membership Is Made Up of Former Officers of A. E. F. WASHINGTON, Nov. B—Senator Tom Watson of Georgia, today carried his fight with the Army into the camps of the American Legion. He charged that Secretary of War Weeks was attempting to enlist the aid of the legion “in an effort to whitewash" his charges that American soldiers were hanged without trial in France. “Aud I expect them to rally to the Secretary of War's aid," he added. “The American Legion Is chiefly organized by former officers of the A. E. F., who want to perpetuate the military spirit In the United States." Watson's remarks were provoked by e statement made by Secretary Weeks yesterday, appealing to Hanford MacNider, commander of the legion, to lend its assistance to the War Department In obtaining all facts bearing on the Issue which has been raised by Senator Watson. Watson also demanded speedy action of the committee appointed by the Senate to investigate his charges. The committee met in executive session yesterday to organize and then adjourned until next week. “Why can't the committee go ahead now,” asked Watson. “I’m ready. They say the tax bill and other matters are engaging their attention. Weil, other committees find time to meet. “It is to be expected that the American Legion would side with Secretary of War Weeks and against me. It has attacked me on a number.of occasions because 1 had the courage to stand up for the private in the ranks and against the officers who bulldozed and maltreated him. "During my campaign in Georgia lasi year I made charges such as 1 am making now. The American Legion attacked mo a/id broke up one of my meetings. “I have no fear of anything it can do. The great mass of former service men who did the real fighting do not belong to the American Legion.” Additional documents Senator Watson has placed before the committee contain many, charges of brutality and executions of men without trial. Court Will Rule on Salary of Judge Lahr Judge W. W. Thornton of Superior Court, Room 1, Is expected to rule lu a fef days on a petition of Judge Frank Lahr of the Juvenile Court, asking that the auditor of State be mandated to Issue warrants for his salary as Judge at the rate of $4,200 a year. At present he is receiving $2,800 a year, but claims he Is included in the raise given other courts by an act of the last Legislature. The auditor of State has refused to authorize warrants at the higher rate, because the Juvenile Court Judge Is not mentioned In the title of the act, although the court Is mentioned In the body of the act. Arguments were heard yesterday by Judge Thornton.

GRAINS SUSTAIN • FURTHER GAINS Advances Regarded as Reaction From Last Week’s Declines. CHICAGO, Nov. 8. —The advance It, grain prices continued on the Chicago Board of Trado today. The gains were regarded by traders as merely a reaction from the sharp declines of last woek. Receipts were light. Most of the hesvy buying of wheat was done by commission houses. Oats and corn prices were not heavily influenced by the wheat advance. Provisions were lower. December wheat opened up %c at $1.0344 and later gained l%c. May opened up %c at $10844 and advanced 144 c before the close. • December corn opened up at 46%c, and held that figure In later trading. May corn opened up %c at 52%c, and remained unchanged. December oats opened unchanged at 32%c and gained 44c later. May opened up 44c at 3744 c and closed unchanged. (By Thomson & McKinnon.) —Nov. 8— Wheat-Further strength In Liverpool an da falling off of country offerings and receipts, on both sides of the international line in the Northwest, have revived the confidence of those who believe that Europe must again turn to North America for her requirements. A feature in the market has been the comparative smallness of offerings. Sentiment has been generally friendly, although there has been no particular broadening of the outside luterest. New York reports a little gulf wheat sold to Holland aud says that exporters are buyers in the Winnipeg market. No reason is given for the two days’ strength in Lievrpool. It* is to be noted, however, that Liverpool quotations are still below a United States parity. Argentina prices art: quoted 44c to 3o lower, with temperatures rising aud frosts negligible. It Is also said tba the tariff placed on exports has been reduced for the month of November. Southwestern mills are reducing their output, being unable to secure shipping directions on previous sales. Some moisture !,* fallen in the West, where it was badly needed, and the forecust Is for generally unsettled weather. We again suggest, that the action of prices will be totally determined by Argcut.ia harvest and the demand from Europe

Corn and Oats—There Is no improvement lu the domestic demt nd for corn, but export bids arc close to the market, as it In Intimated small amounts have been worked. There Is no Improvement, however. In the demand for cash oats. In fact, further sales to go to store {or purposes of delivery on December contracts have been made. Roth of these markets would gain friends in the event of any betterment in the cash trade. Provisions — Weakness in bogs has been ignored in the provision market, except to the extent of moderate liquidation of November lard, offering being taken by smaller packers. There was a little outside demand for January and March lard, while offerings were light. CHICAGO GRAIN TABLE. Nov. 8— WHEAT— Open High. Low. Close.

THOUSANDS GO WEST IN BACK TO FARM 1 RUSH Call of Land Grows Louder as Wages Decline in Cities. OMAHA, Nov. B.—The American people are still Interested In farms and farming despite the much talked about “drift to the cities”—that Is. If “straws” lndirntn the direction the wind Is blowing. With the decline In wages In the city, the call of the land Is becoming louder and louder. Here are some of the “straws” which show that the landward tuoveweut Is not dead —and not even 111. In the fiscal year ended, 2,2222,380 acres of homestead lands were taken up In eastern Wyoming, the land offices being In Douglas, Buffalo, Newcastle and Cheyenne. Ten thousand acres of Irrigated komestead land were taken up In the Shoshone, Wyo., and North Platte, Neb., districts. New families to the number of 5,692 were received at stations of the Burlington railroad In western Nebraska and Wyoming. Mote than thirty trains of fifty cars each brought the household goods of these families to their new homes. Fifteen thousands letters of inquiry have been received by-the immigration department of the Burlington at Omaha. All these 15,000 writers wanted to know how to get to the land. - Twenty-five per cent of the men who homesteaded the 2,222,380 acres in Wyoming were former soldiers. Under the' United States land laws they were permitted to apply their length of service in the Army to their homestead requirements. In the way any ex-soldier who had served two years in the Army was required to spend but seven months on his homestead before a clear title was Issued. Five per cent of the homesteaders were women—mostly school teachers and women who had served In some capacity during the whr. Most of this 2,000,000 acres is of the “dry farming" kind. While there are millions, and millions of acres of free land in Wyoming, practically none can be farmed by ordinary methods. Under the dry farming system crops of wheat are produced every alternate year, not each year. Crops of beans, potatoes and corn are alternated with the wheat. Twenty years ago there were 10,000,000 acres of free public land in Nebraska. Today there are less than 30,000 acres—and these are considered worthless. The free lands of Nebraska are- all gone. So are the free lands of lowa, Oklahoma, Kansas, etc. DILLY DALLIES. NEW YORK, Nov. B.—James Dilly was sued here for nonpayment of his debts. His creditors said he had dallied for two years. Judgment was handed down against Dilly and he was warned to dally no more.

SURGERY IN PHOTOGRAPHY Moving Pictures Show Operation in Progress. BERLIN, Nov. B.—Moving pictures are, the latest aid to the teaching of surgery In the Berlin University. While the instructor is operating in the amphitheater an enlarged picture of a similar operation is thrown on a screen above his head. The invention of Dr. Alexander von Rot he, a professor In the Berlin University, has been approved by the ministry of education, which is supporting the installation of six more cameras In the operating rooms of Berlin clinics. The camera is on the end of a long piston, reminding one of the tube on 1 which a hydraulic elevator rests, which i runs up and down through the skylight and hangs directly over the operating table. The reels of film are In a room above the omwatlng room and run down in light-proof canals beside the piston. Four small motors raise and lower the camera, turn it ffoxn right to left and reverse and crank the film. They are controlled from a small movable stand near the operating table, on which Is a towel with removable sterile control switches. A pedal controls the cranking. The llghf from four carbon lamps In the chamber above the operating room Is reflected by mirrors through the skylight and focused directly on the field of operation.

SMUGGLING OF MEN INTO U.S. IS PROFITABLE^ Traffic in Human Freight! From Mexico to America Revealed. FOREIGNERS’ GATEWAY

MEXICO CITY, Nov. B.—There are many ways of smuggling human cargoes across the border into the United States. One of the most common means employed, however, Is for an agent to give his patrons a disguise which makes them appear as laborers or peons. As these men ride in second-class coaches and are vigilantly watched by their guides, they attract little attention while passing through Mexico.

MEXICO CITY, Mexico, Nov. s.—For-tune-i are being made, according to reports here, by men -who are engaged in the business of getting immigrants across the border into the United States. It is said that few of the arrivals from Europe are detained at the border if their Journey is directed by one of the skilful agents engaged in this new man smuggling. Those who are caught by immigration agents are waifs who “go on their own hook” because they are financially unable to hire an a-gent to guide and advise them. ~ These, on landing at a gulf port, start at once for the border. Some have shrewd advice and manage to get across, but once across they usually attract attention. GUIDED TO PLACES OF SECURITY IN U. S. ( Those who are helped by the professional aiders of border-jumpers are guided after they enter the United States until they reach a place in which they are more or less secure. They leave trains at points some distance from the border and complete their journey by motor car. The border Is crossed in various ways, the methods departing upon the number of men in a party. Not long ago, when delegates to a convention made a sight-seeing trip to a Mexican town on the border, an agent guiding a party of border-jumpers was in some way able to get badges similar to those worn by the delegatee. These he distributed among the members of his party. They were able to cross without interference and board a train for the Interior of the United States. HAVE PLACES IN WAITING. Usually, however, the agents do not put their parties aboard trains at Important border cities, where close watch Is kept. They hav e made an intelligent study of the risk they face and have ways of routing their charges which reduce to a minimum the danger of detection. The men who are able and willing to pay for the service of these agents, it i* said, have friends in the United States who have places waiting for thens in stores and shops. Most of them are from Russia and Poland. Their instructions Include ways of avoiding trouble after they reach their havens In the United States. As an example, if they go to work in places In Chicago they tell of having worked for several years in Philadelphia and are able to name places at which men of their kind are employed. If they go to Philadelphia they tell of having worked for years in Chicago. , WARNED NOT TO TALK * or “OLD COUNTRY.” All are warned to be careful not ta talk about "the old country” except in the privacy of the homes of those who shelter them. This training. It is said, actually begins before the newcomers take ship from Europe and does not end until they are delivered into the hands of their friends. The system, ns outlined here by a man who asserts that he is in possession of complete Information, indicates that some persons of unusual intelligence have worked out the plan and that it Is being carried out by a very intelligent organization.

Damages Collected Under Force Threat GREENSBORO, Ala., Nov. B.—Here’s a brand new scheme for making corporations pay damages to property when said corporations are reluctant about so. doing. Charles and Alex Waller got judgment against a railroad which left the track adjoining their property and proceeded to smash things up generally. The Waller brothers got the Judgment all right, but collecting the amount of the damages awarded was another tiling. Hearing that a large amount of money had been paid into the Greensboro freight office, however, the Wallers with their attorney, proceeded to present their bill for payment The agent refused. The sheriff was notified. He threatened to break the safe in which the money was kept and collect the claim. The agent capitulated. Theater Gets Writ f Against Tax Payment A temporary injunction Issued by Judge Solon J. Carter of Superior Court, room 3, yesterday, was in effect today restraining County Auditor Leo K. Feeler and County Treasurer Ralph A. Lemeke from certifying on the delinquent tax list for the last half of the sum of $1,524 against the Central AmuseCompany which operates the Alhambra Theater. The plaintiff alleges that this amount is excessive and above the trqp valuation. It is alleged the property was assessed at $309,000 in 1919 by the assessor and the State board of tax commissioners increased it under the horizontal rule to $372,000, but was afterwards lowered by the commissioners, but that the county treasurer refused to ac-i cept the reappraisement.
