ILL STREET IS - RECOVERING FROM PIGGLY UPSETS Traders Regard Elimination of Sensational Stock as Exchange Victory, INDUSTRIALS LEAD AGAIN Buying Wave Sweeps Prices in Genera! List Ahead in First Hour, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL NEW YORK. March 21. Wall Street was inclined to regard the dispatch with which Piggly Wiggly was eliminated from transactions on the big board as a triumph for present governing methods compared with proposed rules under the Lockwood bureau or some other form of political reel tape. In face of apprehension created by Piggly Wiggly’s sensational skyrocketing, the industrial averages climbed into new high ground for the current fullswing. First Hour Another general buying wave swept prices ahead all through the general list in the first hour. Canadian Pacific reached anew high and bullish activity in industrials broadened to in elude a comprehensive list of favorites. Everywhere in the financial community, bankers and brokers alike expected a satisfactory settlement of the Piggly Wiggly episode, which threatened to upset trading on the ex change Tuesday. Second Hour Further bullish enthusiasm was created in the second hour by the ad vance in Steel common. Republic. Gulf States and Crucible to new highs for the year. Rails too showed ex eeptiona! buoyancy. "The thing to remember about rails,” says Hornbiower & Weeks "is that whatever happens to industrials after this spring's bull market Is over, rails could take the center of the stage and engage in an independent bull market." Noon Hour Fresh forward movements in individual stocks were the principal sea turcs in the noon dealings. California Petroleum and Otis Steel made new highs while American Steel Foundries was active and strong on reiwrts of the formation of a large bull pool. The company is sharing in benefits derived from the railway equipment demand. Twenty active industrial stocks Tuesday averaged 105.35. up .02 per rent. Twenty active rails averaged $9.60, up .24 per cent. Local Bank Clearings Indianapolis bank deai-ins* Wednc-slay wrir 82.565.000: bank debit? were $0,442.IHtO.

Improved condition of country roads contributed to the supply, as the largest number of trucks seen at the yards in weeks were parked about "diamond alley" long before trading began. I-ights suffered a decline of about 15 cents, dropping from £8.90 to $8.75 for a top heavies were out at least a quarter, from $8.60 on Tuesday to $8.35.

The cattle market was rather slow and irregular at the opening, with steer and heifer prices tending to decline, while cows managed to hold firm. A heavy run of 1,300 head helped depress the market.

A statement of the Department of Justice states the Tidewell case is "one of the most tragic criminal cases ever brought to the atentlon of the department.” Tidewell walked out of the Federal j enitentlary at Atlanta a few days ago after serving nearly twenty-five years of a life sentence for conviction on the charge of slaying Jim Brown in Oklahoma.

COURT RULING IS FOSTER VICTORY , IN RADICAL TRIAL Judge White Refuses to Admit Labor Paper as Evidence, liu United Press ST. JOSEPH, Mich., March 21. William Z. Foster won an important court battle today when Judge White refused to admit in records documents which the - prosecution had relied on to obtain conviction of the alleged communist on trfa! for violation of the Michigan syndicalistic act. Among these documents were copies of the Labor Herald, edited by r Foster. Cartoons and articles in the paper, the Government contended, sought to arouse class hatred and stir up revolutionary- activities. The judge ruled the evidence out on the ground that the articles and cartoons reflected on artists, and not Foster personally. With the direct testimony of Frank Morrow, the Government's “under cover" man at the communist convention at Bridgeman last August, the main points in the States case will be complete. Morow. known as “Investigator KA7" in the Federal secret has identified Foster as a leader the activities of the communist meeting. Frank P. Walsh, Foster's council, may allow the case to go to the jury without presentation of any evidence ir. Foster's behalf.

Willett of Chicago made his first noon Lenten tajk today at Keith's. the four steps in the “remaking of the soul of man,” Dr. Willett named them as the vision of God, the vision of sin, the vision of forgiveness and the vision of service. “Religion is our oldest and richest asset,” he said. “It is a personal and responsible thing on the part of every* one in the community. “Nothing so transforms and makes ever men and women as this one thing we call love. You might have the richest culture in a community and yet walk the streets untouched by that culture. uk “Jesus did not call people to H creed but he called men to him. The authority with which he calls Is not the authority of a priest or king, but it is the authority of one who knows,” he said. Dr. Willett will speak noon at Keith’s- during the remainder of the week, under the auspices of the Church I'>deratiofi of Indianapolis.
