SATURDAY, JAN. 19,1924

GENERAL MARKET CLOSES THE WEEK WSTTRENDLESS ialf-Hearted Attempts to Bolster Prices Prove Futile, SOME STOCK ADVANCE Buying in One Section is Offset by Selling .in Another, The WALL STREET JOURNAL NEW YORK, Jan. 19.—Mercantile surveys reported continued heavy distribution of merchandise with a wholesome conservatism governing operating. The situation suggested that dealers generally are maintaining a hand-to-mouth policy as regards buying until the tendencies of the spring season might be better appraised. This condition here height ened the hesitating disposition shown by the stock market all week and a continuance of two-sided trading too* kilace in the early turn-over today. First Hour Little selling pressure was in evidence in the first hour and operations for the rise went ahead in various industrials and public utility issues. Consolidated Gas was featured in the latter group, reaching anew high on the move at 64%. This was the best level reached since last autumn, taking Into consideration the recent right to subscribe to 20 per cent additional stock. General Electric led the Industrials, making further new high at 201%. This advance was in recognitlon of the company's remarkably good outlook for 1924. Closing Hour Unsettlement resulted in the general list at the start of the second hour from another disturbance in Cast Iron Pipe common, which dropped abruptly to 72tb, off more than three points from Friday’s high. This break precipitated selling in Davison Chemical and similar Issues and checked the forward tendency in evidence in special issues in the earlier dealings No change took place in the character of the market in the final dealings. General Electric scored a further gain, reaching a high of 202. while a fresh forward movement got under way in Associated Oil which reached anew high. Twenty active industrial stocks on Saturday averaged 96.69. up .32 per cent. Twenty active rails averaged " Local Bank Clearings Tndiararolla bank clearings Saturday were $3003.000: for the week. $22 047,000. Bank debits Saturday were $0,627,•400; for the week S4O 040 000.

NEW YORK. Jan. 19 —Today brought to a close one of the most successful weeks the bond market has km joyed in some months. Investment buying, speculative trading and a healthy foreign demand sent prices on representative railroad and industrial bonds into higher ground and shoved the liberties a few points higher to new high levels for the year. The feature of the week, howevor, was the consolidation of gains .n railroad issues, led by the intrepid St. Paul which gained on the news that the road earned its fixed charges dui:ng 1923. The fabt that new foreign bonds during the week topped $3 50,000,000 did not materially weaken the position of the listed bond market, while at the same time the Argentine financing which has been hanging over the market is removed, that is all but $15,000,000 which must be put out before March 1. The cheap money market thlssweek has been largely responsible for the new demand and the ready absorption of all profit-taking. In fact, there nas been little inclination to take profits as there is little to Indicate that prices have reached the peak on the present move.

CHICAGO GRAINS CLOSE IRREGULAR Wheat Recovers From Low Point on Late Rally, By United Financial CHICAGO, .Jan. 19.—Grains closed Irregular on the Chicago Board of Trade today. Wheat recovered from the day’s low point as the result of a late rally induced by good buying on reports of some export business, unfavorable crop news and keen competition in Kansas City markets for better grades. Corn continued weak all day lander heavy profit-taking and selling due, to general reports of increased country offerings and prospects of heavier movements next week. Oats were dull and neglected. Cash houses said country offerings were more liberal, the present high levels bringing out plenty of stocks now held on farms. Provisions closer lower with wsak grains, hogs and cables.

Italy will have to Import only 54,500.000 bushels of wheat for the 1924 season, or about 50,000.000 less than last year. Kansas Is now supplying the Southwest with the bulk of its com. Normally this district gets its stocks from the entire belt. Small shipments of Argentine wheat are arriving in Liverpool out of condition, according to an unconfirmed report. Very little wheat from that country can reach the , United Kingdom until the end of the month. There is a rye visible supply of 19,000,000 busheis. mostly on the old (Top. and until export business reduces this surplus there Is little chance that the prices will do much better. A good deal of the buying in wheat i lately was thought to be close-out spreads between here and Winnipeg for a prominent trader. The future trend in com prices depend largely on the attitude of country holders. At present farmers are reluctant to let go at prevailing levels, a prominent cause for high prices.

The decline carried the top to $7.25, compared with an extreme top of $7.50 on Friday, while all weights and classes sold generally at a flat price of $7.20, the bulk figure, companred with Friday’s bulk of $7.35 to $7.40. Both sows and pigs were affected by the general market’s decline, sows selling a quarter lower at $6 down and pigs an equal amount lower at $6.75 down. Such a deluge of receipts for a Saturday market left trading largely in the hands of local killers, who took advantage of the situation to make their commitments at lower prices. Some shipping orders were in evidence, but their number was small and their size insufficient to create any competition. Compared with a week ago prices were 35 to 49 cents lower, ail grades having sold then at a flat price of $7.60. Trading in the cattle department was dull, as Is usual on Saturday, due to light receipts of 200 head or less and trading was quiet. Prices for the week showed so .te sharp losses on the common and in between grades of she stock, while the better class of offerings were steady to 25 cents lower.

SHANK PROMISES AID IN PROBE Os TOWNSHIPCOURTS Taylor Groninger Instructed ' to Help Prosecution in Dog Tax ‘War/ William P. Remy, Marion County prosecutor, today received a letter from Mayor Shank commending the Investigation of alleged “kangaroo court” tactics before Justices of the [ peace In the “dog tax war” being waged by constables. The mayor said that he has Instructed Taylor Groninger, corporation counsel, to assist In the Investigation. Harry K. Silverman, 1623 Madison Av., was the last to lay his case be- : fore Prosecutor Remy. He was fined $17.50 for not paying his dog tax in 1922, he told Remy, although he tried to show the squire his receipt. Second Notice Received I “The squire said, ‘You can't plead not guilty because we've got the goods i o.i you’ and then he fined me," Silverman told Remy. He showed Remy ! the receipt. “Now Constable M. A. Howard has sent me another notice to appear before another justice and pay another j fine on the same charge,” Silverman complained. “I guess there is nothing you can do, now.” Remy said. “Cases should be appealed to Criminal Court, or the fine paid under protest. A man is i foolish to go into court without a lawyer." Friday "Dog Day” Judge James A. Collins of Criminal Court has fixed next Friday na “dog day," when he will hear three appeals. Justice of Peace Hurst of Beech Grove today notified Remy he would comply with the prosecutor’s demands and not try any more defendants without the presence of a deputy prosecutor. “I sent Newton McGuire, park board attorney, out to represent two defend- ’ ants In Irvington, and the Justice immediately dismissed their casek without hearing any statements,” said Mayor Shank in attacking procedure ' In the justice courts.

TIMES MAN SAYS SHENANDOAH LOOKS SHAKY PROPOSITION Correspondent Visits Giant Dirigible Straining at Moorings Shortly Before Craft Broke Loose From Mast in 70--Mi!e Gaie.

By STEVE HANNAGAN, NEA Service Staff Writer. (Copyright, 1924, by NEA Service.) n AKEHURST, N. J., Jan. 19. ( ! Only a few hours before the I Navy’s Shenandoah was torn from its giant mooring mast here, the writer visited the scene to conduct an investigation for NEA Service and The Indianapolis Times into what was being done to make the "Queen of the air” fit for the proposed North Pole in June. Nervously 'the ship was swinging] from its "American Eiffel Tower” j mooring station 172 feet above ground —as variable In its movements as a weather vane. Pipes Frozen The water pipes on the ship were frozen—just as they might be this summer in the eArctic circle. Water Is the modern ballast designed to keep this much-heralded ship in balance. As the winds liftted or tipped the flying flagship of the Navy, the commandinf officer shuffled his men from station to station as human ballast — just as a juggler might too rubber balls about. During one of these eccentric movements of the ship it nearly broke from its moorings. The stern became light HOW THEY DO IT A line is thrown to the ground from the tip top of the tower — another attached to the nose of the ship tossed over tho side. Men on the ground splice the cables together. Slowly and cautiously the dirigible Ia reeled In like a large fish and made fast. It is a precarious climb to the top of the tower for a land lubber —a climb right out in the open. At the very peak la an arrangement that looks like a "flower pot.” It is into this that the cable holding the nose of the dirigible is fitted. The photo above shows the Shenandoah moored to the mast at Lakehurst, N. J.. while on the right is a close-up of the nose of the giant dirigible attached to the mast. and rose until the tail was pointing practically to the Zenith, with the nose strongly tugging to release Itself —just us a giant fish might try to throw off the hook in its mouth. Call to Action “There was a call to action. The writer was on the landing platform of tho mooring mast —165 feet from the ground where he had a close-up view of operations. The crew was keved to the emergency. It was feared tho ship might break loose then. "Four men start aft!” shouted the commander. They did. Feet began to pound along the small keelway. "Nix men start aft!” More pounding feet. “Eight men—now ten!” rang out. It sounded like the charge of the light brigade echoing within the recesses of the ship. “Hold it!” blared forth from the commander's cabin. “Stand by for a ctern line to make the ship fast below!” was the command flashed to the ground crew which mobilized in a Jiffy from a lolling "at rest" position in the warmings rays of the sun. After a twenty-minute fight the ship w'as again on an even keel. It was the worst scare the crew experienced until it finally was blown away on the wings of a sixty-rnile-au-hour gale. A Juggling Act Vet the same juggling act was staged with each puff of Wind. "This is an unusual day for the ship.” said Commander F. R. Ale Crary. “Don't think it’s like this all the time.” "I’ll bet I ran ten miles up and down that ship today helping to keep it In balance.” spoke 175 pounds of the human ballast as he went off watch. ‘‘Yea, and most of It was like mountain climbing," chirped Ms companion. Rubber-soled shoes make the men as sure-footed as cats as they climb about the ship which is 680 feet long, seventy eight feet In diameter, nine three feet over all, with a gas capacity! of 2,148.000 cubic feet, a total weight I of 77,605 pounds and a cruising range of 4,000 miles. j

‘DON’T READ HISTORY, LET NAVY MAKE IT’ Officer Wants to Hang Stars and Stripes on North Pole by Trip of Dirigible Shenandoah,

By United Ureas WASHINGTON, Jan. 19.—“ Hell’s bells!!! What are we going to do with Shenandoah, put it on the mantlepiece? Let’s hang the Stars and Stripes on the north pole." t With this introduction, Lieutenant Commander Robert Bartlett, who went to tho north pole with the late Admiral Peary, today told the House naval affairs committee what he thought should be done with the giant airship. Speaking In a broad Irish brogue and spicing his testimony with the “mother tongue” of seafaring men—cussing—the picturesque sailor pleaded with the committee “not to read American history, but let the Navy make it.” “What are we going to do with the airships if we don’t make trips with them?” demanded Bartlett, his black eyes ablaze. Hang It o the Pole “By’ Heaven, 1 want to see the Stars and Stripes hanging on the North Pole. We’ve got a secretary of the Navy with the punch and an admiral in charge of flying who has the nerve, so let the young men of America make history. Let’s go! )

After rdiing about 140 feet up in an elevator and then shinning a ladder I found myself on a landing platform, 165 feet above ground. It is from this floor that the members of the crew of the Shenandoah walk the gangplank into the big ship. A Trial Might There were prospects of a trial flight when I arrived at the field. Naturally enough I wanted to take a ride in a lighter-than-air craft, a new experience. But Commander McCrary flatly refused to carry me. Any additional weight might throw the ship off balance, he explained. I watched the maneuvers—men going and coming as unconcernedly as If they were on the ground; saw the effort with which the ship was con- ! troljed as it shifted in the breeze; heard the comments of the men—it was then I decided the Shenandoah would be one type of aircraft on which I would never care to ride. And riding on the waves of the air i holds no terror for me. A summer j ago I rode thousands of miles aloft | w.th Capt. Edward V. Rickenbacker, Amgerica’s Ace. We exerlencea forced | landings—and a crash. Not for Him. Yet, if I were to ride the ZR-1 it would he w.th suicidal intent—and 1. st 11 is sweet to me. ‘‘Would you be will.ng to fly to the north pole in the ZR-1?” 1 asked Patsy Mozier, who was born in Belfast, Ireland, and reared on Kelly St. in Akron, Ohio. He is only 18, has been in the Navy five yqears and is the lowest in rank on the d.ngible. He is a second-class aviat on mechan c. "Sure,” said Patsy, "I’ll fly any place In it." Just to show the nerve of Patsy, who is champion pugilist of the station, his friends tell how he was knocked down twenty-one time in the first round of one of his encounters and then arose to knock out his opponent. Standing beneath the ship was a woman with two small children. Their eyes turned to one of the six power cars. They waved to a speck of a head aloft. "Daddy—Oh, Daddy!” cheered the youngest. It was Mrs. Thomas A. Knight, wife of a chief machinist’s mate, and thei; two sons. Thomas. Jr., 3, and Char.es, 2. Alate Knight was aloft, peeking out to wave to h!s family. “Do you sanction your husband s flying to the North Pole?” she was : asked. Duty Is Duty "Well, I don’t know," she answerel reflectively, "I haven't just made up my mind. You see we have two ba bles. and there wouldn’t be enough to support them long in case anything happened to Tom. He has no people, and my mother is an invalid. ! "But if Vnele Sam calls—and Tom decides to go. I would be the last ! person in the world to stand in his ' path.” Mrs. Knight is just one of the brave women who will serve by standing and halting if the Shenandoah tries the North Pole flight. FRANK MAHAN SENTENCED Frank Mahan, proprietor of a dance hall and grocery in Ravenswood, today was found guilty of owning an ! illicit still in a cottage behind his place ! and sentenced to one to five years in i the Indiana State prison. Bond for appeal to the Supreme Court was fixed at $2,000 by Criminal Judge James A. Collins. Charles Starr, colored, Mahan’s cook, was found guilty of selling a half pint of liquor to Deputy Sheriff Roland Snider and fined SIOO and given sixty days on the Indiana State farm. FARMERS'aRm’FOR FIGHT Tlie Indiana Farm Bureau Federation will attack the taxation problem “armed to the teeth.” Eight members of a ten-man State ; tax committee were appointed by W. H. Settle, president, at a meeting at the Claypool Friday. They are: Walter Baker. Bourbon, first district: C. D. Stuckey, Howell, second; J. M. Cantley, Logansport, third; Charles E. Carroll, Hartford City, fourth; J. C. Bridges, Greencastle, fifth: A. H. Meyers. Noblesville, sixth; Lew Harris. Washington, seventh, and H. E. Lochy, Franklin, eighth. Settle will be an ex-officio member.

“Hell, we’re getting soft; wa’r*losing our punch sitting around here. We get killed in auto rides. Let the young,fellows put it across.” In making r flight to the North Pole, the Shenandoah “would be safer than an automobile on a road,” Secretary Benby said today before the committee. The proposed flight, Denby said, is a serious expedition and not "aeronautical acrobatics.” The objects are: Discover a Continent 1. To discover and claim for Amer ica a vast unexplored continent believed by scientists to be in the Artie circle. 2. To survey and map Alaska from the air. 3. To hang up anew aerial record for America by making a round-tlie-worl 1 flight by dirigible. v Denby revealed for the first time that It is the plan to have the Shenandoah start a round-the-world flight Immediately after completing the map ping of Alaska. From Spitzenbergei the dirigible would fly to England and on around the globe, Denby said.
