GOOD DEMAND FOR INDUSTRIALS IS BOON TO MARKET Early Irregularity Overcome by Strength in Individual Issues. RAILS JOIN ADVANCE * Steel, Baldwin and Mack Trucks Point Way for General List. The WALL STREET JOURNAL NEW YORK. Nov. 28.—Trading in the early dealings on the stock ex- j change today had virtually the same characteristics as marked Tuesday’s '< session Heavy selling continued in j stocks like Davison Chemical and j Maxwell issues whose erratic fiuctua- \ tions had proved so disturbing the previous day. On the other hand, marked strength was displayed by Steel common which opened at 95%, ' selling without the regular dividend end the extra of 25c. This price was 1 the equivalent of the best figure the : stock had attained on the current upsw&g. First Hour Less irregularity was in ev dence toward the end of the first hour and the forward movement was resumed in several sections of the l.st. Low pr ced ra.ls showed spec.al strength under the lead of the Eries, wh le industrials were strengthened by special demand for issues like Mack Trucks. Baldwin and Steel. American Can displayed a better tone, rally ng from the pressure to which it was subjected by traders who had entertained ' the not.on that some action would be taken regarding an extra d.v.dend on the common stock at Tuesiiay's meeting. „ Second Hour A heavy pressure on the main body of stocks around noon failed to precipitate a general decline and the market continued to act well while selling was being absorbed in stocks like Dupont, Pullman and Baldwin and other recent favorites. Specula-* tive sentiment was encouraged by the splendid action of the rails and by the plentiful supply of call money which forced the rate down to 4% per cent when it was found that 4!T> per cent when it was found that 4% Non Hour Maxwell issues held fairly fell lr noon dealings in view of the general . belief that Studebaker's negotiations r for acquisition of the company had been suspended. The Street is wondering whether the interests which bought into the company with the object of control are letting go or adding to their holdings. It is claimed that the majority of the capitalization is In the Street and the control in open market could be obtained at a price. At any rate, constructive interests were pleased with the saner movements in Davison and MaxwelL Fourth Hour * Prices moved in a narrow range in the main body of stocks through the early afternoon. Speculative attention was mostly devoted to special movements in special groups. Stromberg spurted to 88 against an early low of 80%. reflecting the increase in the regular dividend rate from $6 to $8 annually and the declaration of an extra payment of $1.50. Jones Ten dropped bac kto 26% after reaching 28%. This decline re fleeted the company’s unfavorable earning position and poor dividend prospects. Twenty active industrial stocks on Tuesday avCraged 92.61. off .27 per cent. Twenty active rails averaged 81.48, off .04 per cent.

GRAINS DISPLAY EASYUNDERTONE Wheat Affected by Liverpool and Argentine Weakness, Bu United Financial CHICAGO, Nov. 28. —Grain prices showed an ea-sier undertone at the opening of the Chicago Board of Trade today. Lower Liverpool cables and a sharp break in the Argentine market Tuesday affected trading in wheat. Liverpool reported liberal offerings with few takers on hand. A break of 2 % to 4 cents on the Argentine was based on a slow foreign demand with larger supplies of old stocks on hand. Receipts were somewhat lower. Although opening unchanged, com showed a firm undertone. Selling, due to weakness in wheat and some profittaking over the holiday, set in later. Oats showed individual strength. Selling later caused some weakness. Better hogs and higher cables gave provisions a slightly higher basis at the opening. Chicago Grain Table —Not. 28— WHEAT— Prer. Opn. Htfh Low. 11:45. c'nse.

DAMAGE CLAIM DENIED Mart Loses $50,000 Suit Against Indianapolis Kailway Company. “K Superior Court jury under Judge Sidney S. Miller, after retiring five minutes, today returned a verdict for the Indianapolis Street Rtllway Company against David White, colored, who asked $50,000 damages as the result of an alleged assault by John Cameron, motorman on a W. Washington car. White alleged the motorman got off the car at Washington and Belmont Ave., and clubbed’him with a metal crank because someone else rang the stopping bell and nobody got off. The motorman accused White, the plaintiff said. Evidence showed that White got in front of the car and refused to let it start, while he argued, and that Camejoa hit him with his fist.

COTYaXIHT f -Vt-*, nr AALPM r C3CH, VA9M., SHE cash register industry is partly responsible for the growth of one medium sized city, Dayton, Ohio. Cash registers which range all the way from the gilded money box to big machines that perform intricate computations with the turn of a crank are a recognized implement of business. The cost of them forms part of the overhead of your grocer or butcher and every dollar you pay him helps pay that overhead. The United States Government has made it possible to tell how the dollar which the cash register manufacturer receives is divided. Thirteen cents of the dollar goes for materials. 29 cents for wages and 58 cents fer profit and overhead including taxes. , A 10 per cent wage Increase to workers would add 2.9 cents to each dollar which the cash register manufacturer must charge. A 10 per cent increase’ in materials would add 1.3 cents. NEXT—Neckties. HEARING ON PETITION SET Gas Company’s Request to Issue Bonds Up Doe. 6.

SLAIN GIRL IDENTIFIED (Continued From Page 1)

is believed to have lifted the girl, perhaps unconscious, from the car before he threw her over. Footprints of a man appeared near the edge of the bridge. They were deeply imbedded in the road, as if the man had lifted a heavy load. The shoes worn by the murderer —if these are his footprints—were pointed and apparently about size 8. Road Heavily Traveled The road which crosses the bridge is heaviiy traveled, according to persons in the neighborhood. Harry j. Miller, who lives about 100 yaras south of the bridge on the east side of the road, said he had not heard a struggle or any unusual sounds. He and G. C. Ballard, who lives about a quarter of a mite from the bridge, said the traffic last night appeared to be as heavy as usual. He believes cars must have passed within a short time before and after the murder. * Although the woman’s body was badly bruised in the fall, authorities do not believe It had been hit by a train. The skull . was fractured and the left leg was broken. The left eye was bruised in such a way It Is believed it was struck before the fall. Skull Fracture Cause Coroner Paul F. Robinson said the Immediate cause of death was a fracture of the skull. It is believed the body was thrown on the railroad track by the murderer or the murderers in the hope it would be struck by a train and mangled so that identification would be impossible. Detectives Harry Irick and John Giles were assigned to the c se.

SPECIAL MEETING ON WATER RATE NEED BY BOARD Valuation of $15,000,000 and Meterization Order Is Expected, Discussion of the forthcoming; rate order on the Indianapolis Water j Company came before a special meet-1 ing of the public service commission this afternoon. All five members of the commission were present when a tentative order calling for a valuation of about $16,000,000 on the company’s property and proposing the installing of meters for householders was presented, It is understood. Just when the commission was to announce its action was a matter of doubt. The order was drafted by Oscar Ratts, commissioner, who pre sided at hearings on the case some weeks ago. Persons familiar with the ' contents of the proposed order were 1 of the opinion it would result in no 1 increase in rates, but would effect an i annual increase of about $50,000 in the company’s revenues. It is known the tentative order has the required sanction of three mem bers of the commission, John W. Me i Cardie, chairman; Ratts, who is vice chairman, and Maurice Douglas. Frank Wampler ami Samuel R. Artman, the other two members, are op posed to the tentative order and have professed favor to a valuation of about $10,000,000 on the company’s property, which would mean a large reduction In rates. LED BY BAD EXAMPLE Ft. Wayne Man Says He Saw Others Selling Booze. William Hendricks, plumber, of Ft. Wayne, a defendant In the Ft. Wayne liquor cases, voluntarily appeared before Judge Albert B. Anderson in Federal Court today, surrendered, entered a plea of guilty and received a sentence of six months in jail and a fine of SSOO. His bond was faulted Monday when he failed to appear. He explained that he had not been notified. “You're a straight forward, square looking man,’’ Judge Anderson said. “I hate to sentence you, but I must. If police officers of Ft. Wtyne had given people to understand that the law could not be violated you would not be here, would you.” “I certainly would not. I saw everyone else doing It and I thought I would make a little easy money,” Hendricks answered. FINGER SIGNS USEFUL Judge Warns Mutes Not to “Radio” to Witness. "Here, the plaintiff can’t radio the witness instructions,” admonished Su perior Judge T. J. Moll today In a divorce trial. Both witness and plaintiff were deaf and dumb, and the plaintiff was signaling to his witness. In reply to a question, relayed by an interpreter, whether the witness ever heard the couple quarrel, she launched into a series of gesticulations that lasted five minutes, which the judge watched closely. “She says ‘No,’ Your Honor,” stated the interpreter. The case was continued for more evidence. American T e!epl?ome & Te'egraph Cos.

BAVARIAN CHIEF GIVEN MANDATE TO FORMOABINET Night of Threatened Revolt In Berlin Passes Without * Demonstration, V By CARL D. GROAT, United Pretl Sta ? Correspondent. BERLIN, Nov. 28. —Germany has turned to her storm center, Bavaria, for a chancellor. Adam Stegerwald, born in Bavaria and former premier of Prussia, was endeavoring today to knit together the fragments of a stable cabinet, having given a mandate by President Ebert. There was no early word to the effect he had been any more success,ul than others who tried since Stresemann fell, but Stegerwald, a member of the right wing of the center party, Is a politician of ability and an able economist. He Is leader of the Christian Trade Unionists and a writer on sociological subjects. Setegerwald’s summons to the chancellorship came at a moment when the capital seethed with the most imposing array of police, bayonets, tanks and other trappingß of war since 1918. Searchlights played 'hrough snow and rain, straining hrough the slush of a disagreeable winter day to pick out communists supposedly staging a Moscow-inspired demonstration. Thousands of laborers, among them possibly many communists, demonstrated at Lustgarten. A few of the workers were wounded, while about seventy arrests were made throughout the city. Otherwise, the night, from which so much had been feared when whisperings of red revolt spread, passed quietly. ELECTION IN JANUARY Secre;ary-Treasury of Fair Board Be Named. Election of a secretary-treasurer will be one of the first official acts j of the State board of agriculture in i January, following the local elections I in which seven new members will be i chosen.

It was partly through incorporation of the two offices under one head that $155,000 of the board’s money cam® Into the hands of Governor McCray some time ago Whether Brown will be a candidate for re-election has not been stated.
