WEAKNESS CROPS •OUT IN OPENING EXCHANGE TRADE Early Rally Is Short Lived and Affects but Few Speculative Leaders, UNCERTAINTY PREVAILS Considerable Attention Being Given Apprehension Over Business Outlook, The WALL STREET JOURNAL NEW YORK, May 22.—With both railroad and Industrial compilations standing at critical points, the market showed a better resistence in today’s early dealings. Steel common rallied fractionally while small recoveries from their recent lows were established by Bethlehem, Consolidated Gas, Kelly, DuPont and several other industrials that were subjected to special pressure on Mons ” First flour Professionals made capital in the first hour of the uncertainty created in the speculative community by apprehension over the immediate business outlook and stocks again turned heavy, following a brief period of betterment at the opening. Baldwin was depressed below Monday’s bottom and other active industrial issues yielded their early gains. Second Hour Stocks developed htige volume on the side of declining prices around noon and further new low prices were made throughout the list. Steel common. Studebaker, Baldwin and Dupont were prominent among the leaders to be depressed to new low levels for the decline, but the trading pace suggested the transfer of stocks from weak to strong hands. Buying could be traced to some of the leading banking interests. Noon Hour Selling operations throughout the general list were swollen to huge proportions in the noon dealings as continued pressure was exerted. Impaired marginal accounts gave way under the strain, adding an impetus of liquidation in the face of declining prices in almost every section. For several minutes it seemed as though professionals would be able to depress the whole market below November’s level. * Fourth Hour ■fitter the hysteria of the noon selling had begun to subside slightly, a good class of buying was evident and the list firmed somewhat as a result of absorption of the offerings. However, the fact that a large part of these purchases came from the short element did not bullify their importance as covering operations often prove the pivotal activity of a rising or declining market. Closing Hour The close of the day’s market demonstrated that the whole session had been a contest between bearish professionals attempting to depress stocks below the November lows and the constructive forces interested in advancing the market to preserve these points of resistance on the theory that a big upward swing was possible in the year if these figures were maintained. Twenty active industrial stocks on Monday averaged 92.77, off 1.53 per cent. Twenty active rails averaged 80.13, off .27 per cent. New York Money Market By United Financial NEW Y’ORK.

CHICAGO. May 22—The wheat stand in central and northern Illinois is poor, with the exception of a small tract between Decatur and Springfield. Com planting in South Dakota is progressing slowly, with some fields yet to be plowed The International Institute of Agriculture, after a survey of crop conditions, predicted that farm production In Europe will exceed all expectations. Considerable deterioration of the wheat crop is reported in various sections of Kansas and an average of from five to twelve bushels per acre is expected. Russia offered 160,000 bushels of wheat for June shipment at considerably below American market prices. The holidays abroad have resulted in practically a total lack of foreign demand.

CURB LIST STEADIES ITSELF AFTER NOON Net Results for Day, However, Is 1.-oss in Many Quarters. By United Finn mini NEW YORK. May 22.—The curb market was more active today than it has been for the pan week, but most of the activity was on the side of declining prii-es. There was a slight rallying tendency right after the opening, then prices fell !>a-k and continued in that course until early afternoon, when the list steadied itself somewhat and managed some fractional gains. However, the day’s net result was a loss in nearly all quarters. As usual, oils led the activity. Vacuum fell below 44, but later it regained to a fraction above that figure, and Standard of Indiana went back nearly' two points. Durant Motors and Glen Aldon Coal came into the trading more heavily than an;/ Industrial this week. Eaton Axle also was active.

‘PETTING’ RAPPED BEFOREASSEMBLY (Continued From Page 1) to run the streets until the early hours of morning. Rebuild Homo Circle “That isn’t trust or faith in tho hoy or girl, but it is exposing them to temptation, ’ she said. ‘‘l believe in the young people of America if given the right ideals. “We must have a rebuilding of the home circle. We must have a white life for two.’’ Miss Aldrich said that the movie which idealizes divorce and the broken homo should be stopped. She made a plea for good literature being placed in the movies. Divorce Movies Rapped “The social ideals of young people are being broken up sometimes by the movies,’ she charged. “Are we going to continue to be fooled by tricks of the trade.’ Relative to prohibition the assembly passed the following resolution: “That we commend the President of the United States for his stand for law enforcement and for his support of Eighteenth Amendment, and with him we commend Federal Prohibition Commissioner Haynes and all Governors of States and others in positions of authority who are using their Influence for the strict enforcement of this amendment ’’ Dr. Charles Scanlon, general secretary of tho board of temperance and moral welfare, answered arguments of tlie "wets” regarding the Volstead act and tho Eighteenth amendment. Soldiers Defended Answering tho charge that national prohibition was not obtained by popular vote. Dr. Scanlon said that in this country we delegate certain bodies to make and enforce laws. ‘‘lf we can take tho life of on individual by the jury system.’’ he staid, "I maintain we can break a beer mug without crushing the fundamental;* of our oGvernment.” In speaking of the attitude of the soldiers on prohibition, ho said: “Our bovs are not drunkards and they did not come home to enforce by their ballots what they went out to defend by their bayonets.” He made a plea that men who will enforce all laws be placed into office. Ovation for Bryan While the assembly was consideiing William Jennings Bryan's resolution asking that every' minister ana official, professor, principal ana teacher In Prusbyterlaan churches and schools sign pledges to abstain from the use of lntoixcating liquors, Bryan entered the assembly room. It was a signal for the greatest, ovation given a man during the assembly. Bryan took off his overcoat and answered tho applause by saying: ’’Dear friends, you must excuse me for not lighting when thero is no fight. I will save my fire until there Is opposition.” Foreign Rum Ships A slight change was made in Bryan's resolution to apply nto only to Presbyterian students and professors in Presbyterian schools, but also in State universities. All Presbyterian students in all schools will he asked to sign the pledge. The Assembly passed the following resolution relative to the use of foreign flag* in protecting rum ships: Resolved, that this Assembly respectfully urges the President and Gongress to use ail the power of the Federal Government to prevent the use of foreign flags for tho protection of the rum-ladden vessels that anchor beyond the three-mile limit and openly conspire with smugglers to violate the Eighteenth Amendment and tho laws enacted for Its enforcement. Relative to the movies, the Assembly resolved: More Contracts Approvtxl. The Influence of the motion picture is so great for good or evil, present and prospective, that the church cannot Ignore or be indlflorent to that influence Wo recognize and commend all constructive efforts for the moral Improvement of this form of education and entertainment. Asa safeguard to morality' and religion against possible cupidity or indifference to public and private welfare, this assembly approves control and oversight of the motion picture industry by Federal, State and local authority, in such a manner that each shall supplement the other. To this end we approve the findings of the motion picture conference called by direction of our last General Assembly and held in Washington. D. C., .Tan. 18. Tho bills and overtures committee recommended that no action he taken regarding making the moderator head of the general council. The assembly took the following action regarding the "cigarette menace:” Tobacco Fought That in view of the impressive testimony of science, education, juvenile courts and parental experiment, this general assembly hereby reaffirms its warning against the growing menace of cigarettes and affectionately urges all of our people, especially ministers and elders, to discourage by precept and example, the use of tobacco in all forms. Numerous other resolutions were passed regarding questions pertaining to moral welfare. The assembly voted to favor legislation proposed In the Federal antilynching bill. The assembly heard reports on the condition of the church in Jugo-Slavla and Hungary. Fosdick Overture The standing committee on judicial i business made the following nomina- j tions for the class of 1923-26 of the ■ judicial commission: The Rev. George P. McGill, D. D„ Wilmette, 111.; the j Rev. George W. Fender, D. D., Tex-1 arkana, Texas: Judge Alexander G.j Burr, Rugby North Dakota; Newton R. Herrington, Bowling Green, Ohio, and Edward J. Fox, Easton, Pa. The hi Is and overtures committee announced that an “ihteresting re- | port" will be made Wednesday. TliiJ

TRIANGLE BARED. BY MAN’S DEATH (Continued From Page 1) Haute then. After he left our home one morning I heard of a fight he had had with some woman. Later we moved and I found out that he was supposed to be married to tho other woman.” Mrs. Rosaline Davis, Stop 7, Greenfield intenirban line, Davis’s mother, took up the story: Asked W hore Joe Was “I was living in Brlghtwood in 10J Q. A woman came to the door and asked to come in. I received her. She asked where Joe was. "I inquired why she asked that j question and she showed me a mari riage license showing that Joseph T. ! O’Davis and Mabel Ribbel were married at Jeffersonville in November of 1916. You see, Mabel has a ’ son by a previous marriage. ”1 asked Joe whether it was true and he said ’yes,’ and that he was in trouble but would straighten it out. Suggested Divorce. "I then suggested that he divorce both women and then marry the ono that W'as his choice. I believe he would have done this, but I feel that Ihe was afraid. He promised his father he would straighten It out.” “When I finally learned for certain that Joe was married again and that he was in fear, I felt I must endure It all for the sake of little Joe,” said Mrs. Dorothy Davis. “I loved him and I know he loved me, because he always came to see us when It was possible. He never let me want for anything, and when he would leave town he would leave money in the bank for our support. Since I have taken this rooming house I knew that it was hard on him and told him to only let :me have enough to pay the house rent, which ho did. “He used to come here to see me, hut was so afraid he would drive up tho alley. He wrote me letters all the time.” I/Iters Are Fxlilblt-cd Mrs. Dorothy Davis exhibited a stack of letters. ”T warned so badly to go see him since I have known he was sick, hut when Mabel refueed to admit his mother and his sister Lillian last Sunday, she also made the statement that 1 couldn't come, either.” "I think I ought to be permitted to go to tho funeral.” Mrs. Dorothy Davis said she wanted t custody of the body so she could care for the grave. Dr. P. W. McCarty, 193! W. Woshnigton St., testified before the coroner that lie attended Davis and bis death was due to natural causes. Mrs Mabel Ribbel Davis told Coroner Robinson that when she and Davis were married in JeffersonvUle, Davis swore he was not married before. IVlien she first learned a year ago that Davis was supposed to be martied to Mrs. Dorothy Davis, Mrs. Mabel Davis said she left him and remained away from him a week. During this time, she said, Davis and his sister, Mrs. Lillian Bennett, called on her mother, Mrs. Laura Flmpson, of 41 Argyle Apts., Massachusetts Ave. and East St., and in slated he had been divorced from Mrs. Dorothy Davis in Omaha. Neb., and that Ids sister knew it. I.nter, Mrs. Mabel Davis said, she took the matter to Juvenile Court and that Mrs. Dorothy Davis made a statement there that phe was divorced from Daivs in Brasil, Ind. I/iter this statement was refuted, according to Mrs. Mabel Davis. Mrs Mai el Blbble Davis said she and Davis have a son, James John, 2 years old.

is taken to mean that tho committee will be to report on the "Philadelphia overtures” concerning tho alleged heresy preaching of Dr. Harry Emerson Fosdick at tho First Presbyetrian Church In New York. It was plain that conservatives, headed by William Jennings Bryan and Dr. Clarence McCartney, moderator of the Philadelphia Presbytery, which oent the Fosdick protest to the assembly, will demand that no steps bo tnkon which might "sidetrack” definite action on the cose. Three Solutions Possible Among possible actions by the committee are: First—Recommendation that tho nsHembly empower the moderator to appoint a special committee to investigate the alleged heresy utterances of Dr. Fosdick, who is a Baptist minister preaching in a Presbyterian pulpit. This would sidetrack a definite report until the next general assembly. Second—A complete surrender to the demands of the writers of the “Philadelphia overture,” which would result In instructions to the New York Presbytery to prevent. Dr. Fosdick preaching in any Presbyterian pulpit. Third —A complete vindication of Dr. Fosdick and the Netv York Presbytery. Fosdick Has Friends An effort to postpone definite action would give Bryan an opportunity to answer the arguments of Dr. Fosdick as advanced in his eermon, “Should the Fundementallsts Win?” It is evident Fosdick has some supporters as some ministers and others in the Philadelphia Presbytery have Kent, copies of a protest against tho action proposed in the “Philadelphia overture.” * If a controversy arises, it will be purely doctrinal. In a public address Sunday, he annot need that he would champion a lesolution calling for the signing of a total abstinance pledge on the part of all college presidents, professors, ministers and church officials. An effort was made by negroes representing the colored Presbyteries to have “every section of the church and also the various (froups” represented on the four new bfi@rds. Tho assembly resolved that "It Is the sense of the assembly that radical groups be given representation on the boards of the church as soon as possible and as far as may lie expedient.” American Telephone & Telegraph Cos. 135th Dividend The regular quarterly dividend of two dollars and twenty-five cent* per share will be paid on Monday, July 16, 1923, to stockholders of record at tha close of burines* on Wednesday, Jj^|ggSg^2:;.
