GAIN IN STERLING STEADIES STOCKS r Expected Depression Fails to Grip Exchange After Germany’s Recall of Envoy. INDUSTRIALS SCORE GAINS Demonstration in Postum Leads to Talk of Possible Dividends in Individual Stocks. By WALL STREET JOURNAL NEW YORK, Jan. 11.—Sterlings remarkable gain of practically 2c overEight furnished unmistakable evidence of the financial world's lack of concern over the European situation. Many traders had come to business today convinced Germany’s recall of her envoys from Paris would nave a depressing effect on security values but a gain scored by exchange on London in the early dealings completely dispelled any thought that the late developments might cause worry In international banking circles. Leading industrials scored fractional gains in the first fifteen minutes and the whole market had a confident ring. Speculative interest in the first hour was largely centered in special deraonfctrations in individual stocks. Wall Street talked stock dividend in conrection with Postum's rise and made its estimate commensurate with Postum's rise by guessing as high as 100 per cent. Postum preferred is expected to be retired before the end of 1923. In loss than a year $2,000,000 of preferred has been purchased In the open market, leaving the balance of only 54,500,000. Earnings on the preferred last year were approximately S7O a share. The stock is callable at 115. Postum has no funded debt. Twenty active industrial stocks Thursday averaged 97.29 up .06 per cent; twenty active rails averaged 84.85, off .11 per cent. HIGHER PRICES MILEJ m Bulge In Wheat Follows Foreign Reports. By United Financial CHICAGO, Jan. 11. —Wheat showed e. stronger tone and higher prices at the opening of the Board of Trade today, but other grains were irregular. The bulge in wheat was due to higher Liverpool cables and news from the occupied area of Germany. Some export business was reported overnight but shipments were still slow. Reports from the seaboard indicated foreign shipments of approximately 200,000 bushel of wheat and 150.000 bushel of com. Northwestern receipts were heavy with indications of large shipments on the way to terminal points. CHICAGO~GRAIN TABLE WHEAT — I T rev - Open High. bow 11:4a. cose.

CURB MARKET MAKES RECOVERY FROM SLUMP Industrial Stocks Lead Oils in Strong Rally. By United Financial NEW YORK, Jan. 11. —The New York curb exchange at the opening today kept the promise held forth In yesterday’s closing trading by continuing its recovery from the slump of midday on Wednesday. The opening was generally firm, but in the trading which followed the industrial stocks stood out better than the oil shares, which did no more than hold steady. Durant’s new high of 80 yesterday was followed by the gain of another point to 81 today. Stutz was another motor stock which showed well, climbing to 21. Fleischmann made anew high, going to 33^4. The Standard Oils saw relatively little trading. The best of the group was Mammoth Oil, which went to 63%. This was a continuation of the rise that started just before yesterday’s close.

ILLICIT ABSINTHE lIIUSTST DOOMED

Bootleggers Hit in Decree by , French President. PARIS, Jan 11.—Illicit trade in ah sinthe has been an active industry in France for seven years, but the last of the bootleggers in this field will be driven to cover if a recent decree of the President of the republic is made effective. Since the law of March 16, 1915 prohibiting absinthe and its substitutes, users of this brain destroying drink and the caterers to their tastes have evaded the law by a pretended ignorance tts to what is an absinthe substitute. There was much agitation against absinthe in France previous to the war. and during the war it was poi hibited. Then there appeared a mini ber of substitutes. The old fashion. . absinthe contained 72 per cent of alcohol, while the substitutes varied from 23 to 60 per cent. Sometimes the real thing is sold today in old bottles at 50 to 160 francs ••itch, smuggled over from Belgium or Luxembourg, where absinthe is still sold over the bar. Last July a law was voted defining j exactly what is meant by an absinthe substitute. Then the pure food bureau of the ministry of agriculture, through Premier Poincare, submitted the matter to President Millerand, and ; he has issued a decree, intended to re ; move from public sale all of these subI stitute products.

POEM'S HEROINE REAL CHARACTER Whittier Letter Asserts Barbara Frietchie Lived. HARTFORD, Conn., Jan. 11.—Barbara Frietchie was a real person and she did wave an American flag- out of a window in Frederick, Aid., when General “Stonewall" Jackson’s troops marched through that town, according to John Greenleaf Whittier, author of the famous poem, “Barbara Frietchie.” In a letter which the poet wrote to Leverett Belknap of Hartford, June 13, 1884, it is stated that ‘‘Barbara Frietchie was a real personage.” Students at the Johns Hopkins University recently “discovered” after arduous research, that the old woman whose gray hairs were protected by the chivalrous general was a literary creation —a fake. Air. Belknap, who conducted a book store In this city for many years, produced today the following letter which Mr. Whittier wrote to him nearly forty years ago: Danvers, Alass., 6 mo. 13, 1884. Dear Friend: Barbara Frietchie was a real personage. I have seen her relations. She was upwards of 90 when the Rebel Army entered Frederick. “In War Times” was published in 1563, "Snowbound” in 1865. I am truly thy friend. JOHN G. WHITTIER. MEDIC SHUNS ETHER IN OPERATION FOR TONSILS Undergo Ordeal to Watch Surgeon's Methods. NEW YORK. Jan. 11.—Dr. Henry Allen Reisman, house surgeon at St. Johin’s Hospital, Long Island City, yesterday underwent a painful operation without an anesthetic in order to study the methods of the operating surgeon. The operation was for the removal of his tonsils. After it was over Dr. Reisman said that the experience had been “very interesting.” When Dr. Reisman announced that he would not take an anesthetic Dr. John W. Kelly of the visiting staff of the hospital warned him that the operation would be very painful and that he had better change his mind. The patient stuck to his resolution, however, and was propped up in bed so that he could see what was done. The operation was performed in the hospital. \ NAVAL STORES Indianapolis dealers' selling: price on luAr pentine in barrel uuanlities. 51.71 per gal.>

IJ.—An Indian tribe of South America ruled entirely by women was described recently by Or. A. Hamilton Rice in a lecture before tho Lowell Institute. The tribe lives on the Icana River, a branch of the upper Amazon, where Dr. Rico went on a trip of exploration. The women of the tribe appeared to be permenent residents of the village, Dr. Rice said, while the men who were there came mostly from tribes along the River Guiana. The ancient Amazonian legend of a tribe of self-supporting women, visited from time to time by men of other tribes came to the explorer’s mind with his discovery, he said, and indicated to him that he might have found the basis for the legend. During his lecture. Dr. Rice was asked if he believed that former President Roosevelt's life had been shortened by the effects of his South African journey. Ho replied: “Yes, he died from tho effects of his journey to South Africa, There was not a doctor in New York who knew what ailed him.” GREENLAND MOVING WEST TWENTY YARDS ANNUALLY Icebound Climes May Become Habitable. LONDON, Jan. 10. —The earth is wobbling on its axis, according to Col. P. Jensen, the Danish scientist, who returned recently from a degreemeasuring expedition into Greenland. He reports that Greenland is moving westward at the rate of twenty yards a year. This seems to confirm the recent reports of surprising climatic changes at the north pole. It is now established that there is a periodic shifting of the latitude of the north pole. The movement is difficult to detect because of the small area of the pole-r-about the size of a tennis court. Some authorities say that the poles are gradually changing their positions, and that this alteration to the world’s axis will ln time mean that regions which are at present ice-bound will become warm and habitable countries.

GOLD DREDGES WORK IN YUKON Electric Diggers Operate Even in Winter. A eonsierable proportion of tho placer gold that cornea from the Yukon Territory la mined by means of dredges, some of which are among the largest in the world, capable of excavating and treating 15.000 ruble yards of gravel a. day. These dredges arc operated by electric power and have been found to be most satisfactory. Tho period of operations is not confined to the short summer season prevalent in that district, as they can operate long after winter has set in. On one occasion a dredge operating on the Klondike River was maintained tn operation all winter. There are six dredges used for this purpose in the Yukon Territory. These are located at the present time on the lower part of the Kiondyko River, on Hunker <’reek. Gold Run Rivek, Dominion Greek and Higliet Creek. In order to mine the submerged beds of river and l ikes in the Yukon Territory, the department of the Interior of Canada, introduced dredging regulations, under which dredging leases for such areas are Issued. There are about nine such leases now in force covering river stretches in the Yukon Territory, and tho total revenue derived from this source to March 31, 1922, amounted to $201,387.12.

CRIMINALS FEAR FRENCH SHERLOCK Regard Ex-Chemist as Worker of Black Magic. PARIS. J.u: 11.—A chemist of roeent years has become the best known detective ln France. Edmond Bayle Is a small, dark, quiet man; ho works In a modern equipped laboratory in the palais de Justice; he is feared by criminals of all classes, and his ultimate fame promises to surpass that of Alphonse Bertillon. the French linger print expert, who died in 1914 Dr. Bayle is chief of tho technical bureau of the Paris police department. Hero all the criminal information of the republic is cone, titrated, classified and studied. From this bureau the expert chemist and physicist gives directions in tlie field of criminal detection. So successful has he been that, the ignorant criminal chesses have come to regard him as a worker in black magic. His unique methods have been studied by the police department of New York I’ity. Hr. Bayle rarely gives much attention to the personality of criminals or their particular psychology, lie works rather with material things. His workshop consists of many rooms and passageways, equipped with all the paraphernalia of a big industrial laboratory, and includes a photograph gallery. Ho has spectroscopes, microscopes and X-ray machines by the dozen, each fitted for a special purpose such as examining blood spots, forgefi documents, counterfeit money, powder-burned clothes, and tho wreckage that is picked up on a criminal trail. Dr. Bayle’s study is lined with books on science, and catalog records of this work. In the records of his bureau there are registered no less than 8.000,000 names of persons involved in crimes, past and present. “Tho detection of crime today Is something very different from the popular conception,” said Dr. Bayle. "The Sherlock Holmes and Arsene Lupin stories of great criminals and their feats are no doubt most entertaining, but that is all I can say for them. From my point of view there is no crime that cannot be detected, that does not leave its traces behind, at least theoretically.”
