MARKET DECLINES WHEN LIST FAILS TO FOLLOW HALLY Burst of Strength of Coal Issues Short-Lived and Unavailing, STEELS UNDER PRESSURE Bethlehem Yields Two Points and Others Follow —Oils Weak, The WALL STREET JOURNAL NEW YORK, Oct. 9. —Stocks sold lower on an active opening of the stock market today, most changes beng fractionally under previous closing levels. American Woolen sold at anew 1923 low at 69% soon after opening at 70 while other stocks to appear under pressure in early dealings were the Pan Americans, United States Rubber and Studebaker. Studebaker sold under 95 and Rubber under 38. Cotton prices were also under Monday’s closing prices. First Hour After a rather general reaction in early trading in which leading issues sold under the previous close, some support appeared in coal issues under leadership of Reading and the market took on a firmer tone. For the most part early losses were recovered by the end of the first half hour. Reading was easily the feature, and though the volume was not large, there appeared to be a rather small supply, with the result the stocks advanced more than a point. California issues, among the oils, were the weakest. Second Hour On the reduced volume of business, leading stocks gave ground and in the second hour most issues were at or near lows of the day. The rally led by coal issues was short-lived and soon steels were under pressure. Bethlehem was depressed two points and Republic and U. S. Steel reacted fractionally. American Bosch Magneto ran down almost five points and Com Products sold under 122 while United States Rubber sank below 37 for the first time since it rallied to 40.

FLINT, Mich., Oct. 9.—Excluding Canadian production entirely, the Bulck Motor Company's September production record was the highest ever attained. The plants in the United States turned out 19.601 ears, which is 149 more than the heaviest previous production record, established in May of this year. On Sept. 20 production 1,018 ears. Company officials assert that their plans for October call for manufacture of a higher number of cars than September showed. ST. PAUL—With September’* freight loading* totaling 11.052 car-*, an increase of 19 per cent over the highest previous September record. Great Northern Railway oflieial* are looking for the heaviest fall business in the history of the road. The first week in October allowed still greater* voiuem. If traffic contlunes through the month according to the indication* of the first week, the highest month's record in history wlil be hung up by the road during the current thirty-one day*. NEW YORK—At the meeting of the board of directors of Remipgton Typewriter Company it was decided not to take any action on the matter of resumption of the second perferred dividend until the trend of domestic business can be seen more clearly. Earnings of typewriter companies in general and of Remington are holding up well and are considerably better than a year ago. WASHINGTON—Secretary Mellon is not in sympathy with the pessimistic outlook held so generally in Wall Street. He. wito other leaders of the Administration, hold that business is normal and that there is no indication of a break during the fall and winter months. The summer's business recession is regarded a* purely seasonal and fear of radical legislation which will hurt business is thought! to be baseless. Granting that some of the incoming members of Congress are as radical as they seem, it would still be impossible for the small group to force through anti big business legislation in time to have any effect on existing economic conditions. WASHINGTON—The lntcretatel commerce commission announces that further hearings in its investigation of rates, charges and regulations applicable-to shipments of anthracite coal front Pennsylvania to points in the United States and Canada will be held at Augusta.

However, business of the first eight months has been satisfactory and with the movement of the heavy wheat crop during the fall and winter it is expected 1923 will be a ralrly good year so far as rail revenues are cr,icorned.

The ; decline occurred despite relatively fair activity on the part of shippers. The disposition of all buyers was to purchase stocks at generally lower levels and they succeeded in so doing. The drop was quotably 5 to 10 cents, most good hogs having sold a dime lower, with only a few sales having been rej ((rded as a nickel lower. Heavies sold ; at a top of 68.35, though generally at | 53.30, mixed from $8.20 to $8.30, though generally at $8.25, w'hlle lights sold from $8.15 to $8.25. light lights sold downward from $8.15, according to weight and quality. The bulk of the day's business was done between $8.25 and $8.35. Due to good coinpeution pigs failed to reflect the decline, selling steadily at $7.75 down, while sows were somewhat weaker, only a few odd lights bringing $7.50 and a few heavies $7.25 down. The cattle market was under influence of heavy receipts of 1,200 and | a lower market at the close n Chicago | Monday. Good steers were plentiful ! and buyefis were disposed to bid lower, sales having shown losses ranging from 15 to 25 cents, with sll the | practical top for the best kinds.

STOKES SEEKS TD PROVE ME VISITS (Continued From Page 1) ment?” demanded Max Steuer, Stokes’ j chief counsel. “Mrs. Stokes.” replied the witness. “W r hat was the state of her dress?” “She was undressed.” “What do you mean, undressed?” ; “I mean she was in her underclothes." ■* “Did you see any one else there?” “No, sir.” Stares at Witness During this testimony Mrs. Stokes, wearing the same blue tailored costume In which she appeared Monday, stared fixedly at the witness, Mrs. Stokes plans to enter a blanket denial of all allegations of misconduct, i With regard to charges that she 1 visited Wallace’s apartment she will endeavor to prove that she was In an other city at the time. Samuel Untermeyer, chief counsel for the red-haired Denver woman who I is defending herself against Stokes' sordid charges, declared he would use every legal means to force Stokes i to the witness box. Untermeyer wants to reveal the alleged amorous adventures of the New York millionaire—the inside story of the “show girl shooting” and the Lucy Riley illegitimate child suit. Stokes was shot in 1911 by two chorus girls, Lillian Graham and Ethel Conrad, In their apartment. They were exon- i erated. The Riley girl, a stenographer, charged him with fathership of her ' child, but the suit was lost. Untermeyer Prepares Motion To get this evidence before the Jury, Untermeyer has prepared a motion to the court waiving the right of a hus- ; band or wife to testify against each other. The success of his scheme hinges with the decision of the court j on this point of law. ONE WIFESORRY FOR DOUBLE HUBBY (Continued From Page 1) Mrs. Swanner said. “He said It would be a pleasant, cheerful home, j that he and his half-brother had inherited from their mother. Oh, we all loved him so.” She gave a little sigh. “When we got to Louisville, Aug. 30, Harry said he couldn't get our trunk out, so we’d have to stay overnight. The next morning, he told us he had the trunk, but we'd missed the lnterurban. “He told us to meet him at the"rail- j road station—said he had to get a shave. But Harry Never C’ame “We went to the station, but Harry never came. We waited a few hours, and then came on to Indianapolis. “I had S2OO when I left Ardmore. When we got to Indianapolis, we didn’t have anything.” Her soft southern voice broke. “We went to the Salvation Army,; and the next day we found this home. My daughters went to work. He had told Margaret she would have nothing to do but take care of the house.” Wagner’s story differed. "Margaret told me that if I married her. the plantation would be ours,” he ! said. I thought I was divorced from I my first wife. “Then, after Margaret and I were married, she and her mother wanted to come to Indianapolis. I didn’t want j to. When wc got to Louisville, I thought, 'l’m through with Indian-1 apolls,' so I went to Bowling Green.” Home Was Grandfather's Mrs. Wagner and her mother said that they found that the “Inherited" j home, at 537 N. Tremont Ave., which Wagner had said was unoccupied, belonged to his grandfather. Mrs. Oberle and Mrs. Wagner met shortly after the Tennessee family ar-1 rived in Indianapolis. They soon be- j came friends. So, following Wagner’s arrest and return to Indianapolis, Mrs. Oberle j called for Mrs. Wagner, her mother and two sisters, Monday night, and they all visited Wagner at the police station. “Howdy, Harry,” said wife No. 2. “Howdy, Margaret,” he replied. "Hello. Harry, do you remember, me’" asked wife No. 1. “Yes.” he replied. “Hello. Harry, you remember your old friend, don’t you?” asked Mrs. Wagner’s sister. “Yes.”

Only One Question Only when the visitors were ready to leave, did Wagner volunteer a I question. "How have you been getting along?" he asked Mrs. Wagner. “Pine,” she threw over her shoulder, as she walked away. “Clara” was known by name to Mrs. Wagner, she said today. "He used to get letters from her,” she said. "Finally I made him write to her and tell her that her letters were causing him trouble with his wife and she should stop writing. I mailed that letter myself.” Defectives hav© this letter from “Clara,” written In Grafton, W. Va., Aug. 27, 1922: “My own dear Harry: I am once more with the greatest of pleasure. I am writing my baby doll a letter to let him know I am still longing for you. Well, sweetie, I will not give an account of today. "It is Sunday, the twenty-seventh, our own darling’s birthday Wished He Was There "I sure wish you was here with me, for I would enjoy myself bo much more. “You sure are my only thoughts and when I am no* awake to think of y&u I am dreaming of you. “ Sweetness please send me one of your pictures until you can get here. •• 1 sure am going to send for you Just as soon as possible for God knows I sure do miss you. If I don’t get to sen dlt the first of the week I will the last for I want you to be here. “ Honey for my sake be a good boy and be careful. “From one you know loves you better than life. , “Your vrtffe until deatfc, ’ “CLARA.**
