New; we saw the county commissioners and the county council; we negotiated with Mr. Fletcher, through Robert Tyndall, national treasurer of the American Legion. We received the approval of all these people before Mr. Shank knew anything about the plan and now he is claiming It as his own.” Mrs. Pfaffly said that she and Mrs. Davenport and Mrs. Loy called on Mr. Shank Saturday immediately after his announcement appeared in the newspapers. According to Mrs. Peffley, the Chamber of Commerce has agreed to take up the hospital plans at a meeting Dec. 1-1. She displayed the following telegram from Senator New which she said she had received since the Senator returned to Washington last week: *T am deeply interested in any project which has for its purpose the comfort and Improvement of invalid soldiers. From the understanding had by me of the project at Indianapolis I feel that it wouHl be a most excellent thing and I have no doubt of our ability to get the Government to make provision for the care of such soldiers as might be committed to the institution. 1 shall be glad to give it my most earnest help.” THOSE INVITED TO MEETING.

SOUTH SIDE SEES * BIG DIFFERENCE The increase in traffic—street cars, vehicles and pedestrians—south of Washington street and between Illinois street and Virginia avenue is becoming more noticeable daily. The movement to the south started with a rush with the opening of Virginia avenne, Pennsylvania street and Meridian street under the railway tracks. Some south side persons contend that the retail trade will overflow south from Washington street. Ferhaps few north side persons realize the change that has taken place since the south side was opened through track elevation. Thousands pass the corner of Pennsylvania and Maryland streets as against hundreds a few months ago. Twelve street car lines are routed past that corner, running 120 cars an hour, and as they make the corner twice In looping the block of Pennsylvania, Georgia, Meridian and Maryland streets, th • actual movement there is about as constant as at Illinois and Washington streets. Meridian and Maryland streets likewise is a busy corner. Automobiles pass In a constant procession along Maryland street in order to avoid the heavy traffic of Washington street. A big fonr-dial chimes clock has been placed on the building of the Fishback Company at the corner of Maryland and •Pennsylvania streets for the benefit of the thousands who pass that corner. They are busy, quick moving thousands and most time their goings and comings.

N Early Shopping Best . The benefits of early Christmas j shopping are all In 'favor of the I shopper. Von will get better service, better attention, better delivery. In fact holiday shopping is a pleasure—when you shop early. There isn't one sensible reason for delaying Christmas shopping—there Is every reason why you should shop now. V MAKES TWO MORE APPOINTMENTS Designation of appointees in the city finance department to take office Jan. 2, was completed today by Joseph L. Hogue, appoin.ee of Mayor-elect Samuel Lewis Shank for city controller. Mr. Hogue named David S. Miller, former assistant, business manager for the board of schaal commissioners, to be head bookkeeper and Miss Calby Walker to be stenographer. Mr. Hogue said that as soon as the incoming city council decides whom it will have for chairman of the finance committee he intends to ask for a conference with the chairman upon financial problems, which the incoming administration faces. One of the first of these will be the negotiation of a temporary loan for the board of public health. All Shank appointees will start learning their jobs under the present officials at the city hall on Dec. 19, Mayor Charles W. Jewett having given permission for the incoming employes to work w'th the outgoing city servants. POLICE FLIVVER IN WILD CHASE With his muffler as wide open as his accelerator Frank Hill, 28, 1209 South Randolph street, led the police flivver piloted by Lieutenant Winkler and Sergeant Baker a wild chase through downtown streets shortly before noon today. When he was finally captured in n traffic jam at East Market and Delaware streets he was arrested on charges or operating a motor vehicle while under the influence of liquor and of keeping his muffler open. The police took up the chase at Washington and Liberty street. Hill sped away In his roadster and the police declare they had difficulty In keeping hli’ in sight. Pedestrians dodged the twc. cars and traffic almost ceased while the pursuit was on. 44 APPEAL TO PARDON BOARD The State board of pardons today began consideration of forty-four pleas of prisoners for commutation of sentences and paroles. The petition of Harry Riggins of Marion County, was among those heard by the board.

HEALTH BOARD OUT OF MONEY City Purchasing Agent Dwight S.

The buggy company reported to the purchasing agent that the ambulance was repaired and that a city employe was ready to drive it back to Indianapolis hut “where is the $750 you owe us for the Job?” Mr. Ritteer did not know where the $750 was because the board of public health is financially zero and will be until a temporary loan is made in January. 11c finally induced the buggy company to release the ambulance on his promise to urge payment of the bill as quickly as possible by the incoming nd ministration.

STOCKS MAKE FAIR UPTURNS Cluette-Peabody Makes Gain of 9 Points in Final Trade. NEW YORK, Dec. 12.—The stock market closed strong today. Chicago & Northwestern, after falling over 4 points to 03%, rose to 05%. United States Steel held fairly steady around 83%. Chandler Motors continued in demand, moving up to 49%, an upturn ot aout 4 points. Industrial Alcohol rose over 1 point to SOW and Reading rose 1 point to 71%.

Total sales of stocks were 724, SOO shares; bonds, $1G,257,000. (By Thomson & McKinnon) —Dec. 12— During the day the market was spotted with weakness in a few rails and a few industrials which encouraged tho professional element to take a position on the selling side of the market. The fact that the commission house demand slackened was pointed to as a reason for a reaction. The professional selling in this market is not be taken as a matter for serious concern. This element, as is well known is interested in the immediate fluctuations in the market rather than its trend. So far as the weakness in rails is concerned. there is, of course, some justification of uneasiness, because of th'e prospect of further unpleasant controversies between the roads and the brotherhoods to adjust wages further, but so far as the industrials are concerned conditions are improving and tho outlook is growing better all the lime. Even in the catalog, business that lias been as depressed as any, something encouraging may be extracted from a summary of conditions published by a news bureau in which they report n marked improvement in business during the past few days over the corresponding period of a year ago beside calling attention to a very important reduction in inventories. And there cyn be a little doubt but that all business will approach nearer to normal during the early part of the coming year. During the forenoon, the market gave a much better account of itself with many specialties advancing to new high prices on this move. We see no reason to change opinions as to elie outlook. We continue to look upon the market witli flavor and anticipate higher prices ami would take advantage of at! reactions as they come to accumulate stocks. TWENTY STOCKS AVERAGE. NEW YORK.

GRAINS LACK FAIR SUPPORT With Heavy Receipts, Corn, Oats, Wheat Sustain Losses. CHICAGO. Dec. 12.—Grain prices were lower on the Chicago Board of Trade today, due to heavy receipts and lack of support. Provisions wore lower. December wheat opened at $1.10%, off %c, and closed off %o. May wheat opened off %c at 51,14% and closed lc lower. July wheat was unchanged at opening at $1.02% and was off %c at the close. December corn opened off %c at 47%e, and closed off %e. May corn otiened at 53Vic, off %c, and closed %c lower. July corn opened at 55%c, off %c, and closed off %c. December oats opened Vic lower at 32%e and was unchanged at 'he close. May oats opened at 38%e, up %c and was %c lower at close. July oats opened up %c at 39c and closed %c lower. (By Thomson A McKinnon) —Dec. 12Wheat—Liverpool prices today were sharply lower, being accounted for by the advance in Sterling exchange. Buenos Aire3 also a little easy, because of slow export demand and expectation of increased movement from first hands. Seaboard reported the export market inactive, one message claiming that foreigners were sellers of the future in this market. Domestic milling trade is slow, but there is no particular weakness in cash wheat at any market. Winnipeg premiums were easier as the recent demand to fill lake tonnage has disappeared. Canadian and United States visible supplies both show a decrease, United States visible supply being now slightly smaller than i year ago, but It must be remembered that Canadian wheat at United States’ points was included in last year's visible i supply figures but is omitted this year, j The total of our visible supply and of j Canadian wheat in bond at United States points and of the Canadian visible supply ; is some 36,000.000 bushels larger than \ last year's total. Offsetting this is the i extreme likelihood of much sipaller re-1 serves in first hands than last year. We i believe that present iirices reflects such j definite knowledge as we have at the present time of future supply and de- ■ mand and that the future trend of prices ■ depends upon the freedom with which ; southern hemisphere markets its surplus,! also upon whether foreigners again turn j their demand to North America. Corn and Oats—The corn market Is being called upon to withstand a very free movement from the country, today's receipts being unexpectedly large. * It is said the movement is from lowa points, as Southern markets are overbidding Chicago and Illinois points. The export demand is somewhat slower today, but there is a betterment in the domestie distributing trade. The visible supply of oats should decrease slowly from this time forward, as there is some broaden- j ing of domestic demand and slim offer-! ings. Provisions—Reeeiids of hogs were con-| siderably larger than e/pected thereby! depressing prices of products as well as ! hogs. The improvement in foreign ex- ! change leads to the hoj>e of a betterment i in the foreign trade. Market is considcred in healthy position.

Weakness ivas due to a slow demand ly both local packers and shippers with Eastern house connections, and also to the effect of the butchers’ strike that went into effect this morning in New York City. Although local packers established the market, they pulled out of trade after buying but few swine in comparison to what they generally buy. Two of the principal shippers were buying o swine. Receipts for the day ran close to i.OOO. With 2,000 cattle on the market, the largest run for this market for some little time, and the packers active, cattle prices Avere seemly generallj’, with spots that were strong to a shade higher. The bulk of the receipts were of the commoner grades of cattle, hut regardless of this there were some good to choice cattle on sale, especially steers and heifers. Receipts of steers were large, while in heifers the receipts were fair. One commission man alone bad sixteen loads of steers. There were two loads of steers that brought $9.75, which was the top for the day, while there were other sales of that grade around SB. The bulk, however, sold at s6@7. The bulk of the heifers sold at $5.50® 0.50, with a few sales at $7 and a similar number at $7.50. Bulls were in good demand at steady prices. There was a top of $4.50 on thi grade of cattle. Cows, also, were in fair demand. Canners and cutters sold fairly well at steady prices, but there was not the demand for these grades that there was for the others. After a strong opening, veal prices closed $1 lower, due to the cancellation of all orders held by shippers with Eastern city connections. These cancellations in torn were said to be due to the effect that the butchers’ strike ia New York City had on Eastern marts. Shippers had bought practically all of the calves when notifications of cancellations were received, but the remainder of the calves on the market were hard to sell at any pr!"e. There were riose to 300 early calves on the market and about fifty late ones. With receipts light, both sheep and lamb prices were steady. HOGS.
