SLIGHT ADVANCE MADEBV LEADERS OF GENERAL LIST Professional Pressure Lifted In Early Dealings—v Rails Up. OVERNIGHT NEWS GOOD Associated Dry Goods Leads Industrials by Touching New High. The WALL STREET JOURNAL , NEW YORK, March 11.—Stocks were steady in the early dealings today, showing scarcely any appreciable change |rom the last close. Secretary Mellon’s reassuring statement on trade conditions, Schwab's forecast of business in the event of fa'vorable tax legislation, the rally in French francs and further price increases in oil and copper were factors which helped the favorable business sentiment. American Sugar was an exception to the general rule, dropping in spite of the market's steadiness to 53. as against last week's high of 58%. First Hour Operations for a rise were resumed in several stocks in the first hour when it became apparent that no resumption of Monday’s professional selling was threatened. Norfolk & Western featured the rails mounting to anew high since 1922 at 120%. Prospect of a lease to the Pennsylvania Lines on a guaranteed dividend basis was largely responsible for this spurt. Associated Dry Goods led the industrials by mounting to a record price of 100%. The company’s exceptionally liquid condition and high rate of earnings lay behind its rise. Second Hour Wire trouble added to the dullness prevailing in the late morning and trading dragged in an uninteresting fashion around noon. The apathy following in the wake of the recent professional drives against leading industrials was even more effective than the wire trouble in holding the market dull. Specialists’ books in the active issues remained almost bare of orders. Although speculative buying was at a low ebb, there is more public buying for investment purposes than there are sellers willing to part with their holdings. Noon Hour Except for the action of Magna Copper in reaching new high ground on the movement at 33% in response to news that work will be begun on its new smelter next week, the list remained quiet during the noon dealings. The volume of trading dwindled perceptibly as did enthusiasm of either bullish or bearish nature. There was practically no selling pressure, neither was there any show of aggressiveness by those who have fostered the current recovery in the main body of stocks.

Fourth Hour Nothing happened Immediately after noon to stimulate interest on the exchange, and dealings remained extremely dull in the early afternoon. Colorado Fuel dropped more than a point from its early low of 31% on denial by its president of any oil developments on its oil land holdings. Wool worth stock maintained its -persistent advances, reaching a further record high of 328. Loose-Wiles advanced to 55%, up 4 from its recent low. responding to the announcement of the liquidation of the last of the preferred stock average, leaving the common stock in line for dividends. Twenty active industrial stocks on Monday averaged 97.21, off 1.04 per cent. Twenty active rails averaged 80.61, off .04 per cent.

WHEAT LEADS IN GRAIN WEARNESS Government Report Not Regarded as Very Bullish, By United Financial CHICAGO, March 11. Grains started lower on the Chicago Board of Trade today. Wheat showed most weakness. The Government report on farm reserves was not regarded as very bullish and this in conjunction with increased tariff which may induce liberal purchases of Canadian wheat before the new law becomes effective and adverse legislative possibilities served to shake confidence of traders. Com declined with wheat. Tradc-i-s were unable to shake oft the feeling of uncertainty. They’ are now in dined to follov' the bread grain on all dips ard bulges until developments create sufficient buying enthusiasm. Oats lacked any features and opened lower in sympathy with other grains. Provisions were steady’ at the opening, higher hog prices offsetting lower cables. Chicago Grain Table —March 11— WHEAT— Prev.

Grain Briefs CHICAGO. March 11.—With immediate wheat supplies liberal and domestic doimind flat, there is little project of prices work lug higher for the present. The 1924 Kansas wneat crop is threatened by Hessian fly. according to the Kansas State tio.itti of agriculture Reports already indicate considerable damage in some sections. Com ha* reached the stage where lighter receipts are sufficient with buying enthusiasm to carry prices higher, experts believe. The Capper-Tincher bill ha* resulted in lighter investment buying of grains and lower prices than would have prevailed without it, a leading Illinois trader declared.

CURB OPENING IS FIRM WITH OILS MOST ACTIVE Trading l-argely in Hands of Small Professionals. By United financial NEW YORK, March 11. —The curb opened firm today with most of the early sales confined to the oils, Dubilier Condenser being the only Industrial to figure in the first sale. Soon after tlge opening, the list turned dull and irregular. Chesebrough slipped off 5 points to 412, while Prairie Oil gained 1% points to 242, and Solar Ifiefrigerator shot up 4 to 205 on small sales after having opened at 205. Trading was practically in the hands of small professionals, who concen truted their attention chieliy on the Standard Oil group. Fractional recessions and advances were the rule all through the list and the first hour and a half of trading failed to reveal any strong tendency either upward or downward in any group of stocks. Business News WASHINGTON.

All weights and classes of hogs sold 15 cents higher at $7.55, compared with $7.70 on Monday, while the top was advanced an equal amount to $7.90. Sows were fully a quarter higher, smooth kinds selling down from $6.75 and the heavier kinds down from $0.50 while pigs were strong to a quarter higher at $7 down for tops and $6.75 down for the average kinds. Altogether, about 7,000 head arrived for | market, including Monday's carry-over of 268. Practically all offerings changed hands in the first half-hour of trading in which practically ever-’ buyer in the yards participated. Distribution favored the shippers by a slight mari gin, but local killers were nevertheless ■ active at the advance. Receipts in the truck division again were light, reflecting the condition of highways in the local market area. Large buyers attracted to the cattle market by Monday’s offerings of unusually good stock were present for the day's trading and were not wholly disappointed in their hope of finding more choice offerings and prices for I the good cattle held firm. Even the I common grades were benefited by the strength in the better kinds and a generally steady market followed. Re- | ceipts 1,000.

By HAAKON H. HAMMER Captain Roald Amundsen's Associate (Written Especially for NEA Service) and The Indianapolis Times.) A j, ar tjficial sun has been created to overcome the greatest difi___J in a trans-polar flight—that of navigation in the Arctic regions. Whether the flight is made in dirigible or airplane, the same obstacle Is encountered —that of keeping one's direction. For it is by the compass that the navigator sets his course and holds his direction. But in the high latitudes. the earth’s forces which act on the compass in a directive manner, become less and less. The ordinary compass becomes more and more- unreliable. Through the motion of the plane, the needle commences to spin around and the compass becomes utterly useless. The proximity of the magnetic pole furthermore effects the magnetic cumpass. A gyro-compass suggested itself. But this had to be eliminated because its directive force becomes zero at ninety degrees North. 'ltalics Tip From Sun Appreciating these difficulties, and realizing that his navigation plan would only be feasible if he were furnished with a reliable direction finder in high latitudes. Captain Amundsen set out to devise anew type of compass. The sun itself is a perfect substitute for the ordinary means of direction finding in the .Arctic, but the rotation of the earth is an inconvenience—the PROBE BEGINS IN POISON' DEATH White County Grand Jury Convenes Today, By United Bret* MONTICELLO, Ind., March 11.— Tie White County grand jury convened today to investigate the death by poisoning of Aaron Collins, a farmer. His wife, who, according to authorities, has confessed to the murder because her husband "was cruel to her," Is held in Jail. Collins died a few hours after eating corn bread baked by his wife.

Mrs. Cftllins was taken into custody Immediately after the funeral Sunday and confessed to putting the poison in her husband’s food, according to authorities.

TRUSTEES HOLDING UP BDILDERS’ FEE Reformatory Contractors Present Reduced Claim. Trustees of Indiana State reformatory. Pendleton, are withholding $6,990.33 due Latham and Watlers, general contractors, pending decision of a special committee, Carl L. Cue, deputy State auditor, said today. Vouchers for $118,250.56 were represented today by the board. The reformatory has a balance of $152,372 in the general fund. Because of unused material at the reformatory, purchased by the contractors on a ‘‘cost-plus” basis for fees, Latham and Walters presented bills for only $57,342.76 instead of $64,333.09. Attorney General U. S. Lesh has ruled the contractors are entitled to fees on material unused. BANK EXAMINERS TESTIFY Carl I* White Snbpenaed in North Salem Case at Danville. Carl L.

CAPTAIN BOYKOW SHOWING HAMMER AND AMUNDSEN (RIGHT) HOW TO WORK THE NEW SUN COMPASS, DIAGRAMED BELOW. sun does not maintain a constant azimuth, but moves around the horizon once every twenty-four hours. The thought of a sun dial connected with a clock-work presented itself as a solution. So on a visit to Berlin in January. Captain Amundsen and I I laced the problem before Captain Boykow, a prominent member of the scientific staff of the C. P. Goerz Optical Works With Amundsen’s suggestion as a basis, he constructed a working model of a sun compass which is astounding In its simplicity and which permanently eliminates any difficulty in drecton-finding in the Arctic during the summer months. In high latitudes the sun is continually on the horizon from the middle of May until late August and clouds and fog are no obstacles, as the airplane can alw’ays ascend above .tli^m. Steers by Image After having adjusted the new sun compass to the desired direction, the pilot steers according to the image of the sun produced by optical means on a dial before his eyes, without regard to the real position of the sun; or differently expresed, this artificial sun will keep the pilot in the desired direction so that he may steer as on a distant landmark. In the annexed plan the optical course of the light rays through this instrument is reproduced schematically. The instrument consists

‘EXONERATEOR KICK ME OUT; ZEIHLMAN Maryland Congressman Demands Charges Be Aired. By United Press WASHINGTON. March 11—Exoneration or expulsion from the House was demanded today by Representative Zeihlman Maryland, whose name has been mentioned in connection with charges against two Congressmen recently before a Chicago grand jury. Zeihlman begged the House itself to investigate and opposed the Judiciary committee's resolution turning the whole matter over to Attorney General Daugherty. "The House ought either to exonerate me from these vaguct charges or kick me out the door,” Zeihlman taid as his colleagues cheered. W. N. HARDING IS BURIED Former Judge Charjes E.

mainly of the well-know’n panoramic gun-sight, which posseseS the quality of maintaining an erect eye-piece image. even thqugh the objective pHam is rotated. This is effected by the simultaneous rotation of a so-called Dove's prism through half the objective's angle of revolution. The eye-piece of the panoramic gun-sight is removed, and in its place is mounted a tube and focussing screen, upon which is engraved a lubber's line. The clock-w'ork making one revolution in twenty-four hours turns the objective prism at the same rate as the sun’s motion in azimuth, so that the image of the sun always Indicates the desired direction. The pilot therefore sees in front of him on the focussing screen a small clear picture of the sun. and, once (he instrument is- adjusted, steers as to maintain the sun’s image on the central engraved line. May Revolutionize Navigation Full particulars of this sun compass has been given to the united States Army and Navy and will probably be used on the round-the-world army planes. The Bureau of Xeronautics had been working toward the same Idea in connection wdth the Shenandoah flight, but had not as yet got so far as to design an instrument. The above instriftnent will be carefully studied by the Aeronautical Advisory Board and may be developed to become an important factor in aeronautical navigation in all latitudes.

ILLINOIS CEASES 'FIRING AT INDIANA BOARD OF HEALTH No # Reply Is Received in Controversy Over * Gary, Illinois has evacuated in the correspondence controversy” with the Indiana State board of health over whether or not Gary is contaminating Chicago. Dr. W. F. King, secretary of the Indian a board, has received no reply to a letter sent a month ago to Dr. Isaac D. Rawlings. Illinois director of the department of public health, it was announced today. H. I. Simmons, social hygiene investigator for Cook County, charged recently shat Gary was contaminating Chicago by permitting brothels to exist. The State board got busy. J. B. Doll, investigator for Lake County, was detailed to investigate. A letter to L. J. Rail, State investigator, said Simmons’ charges had been disproved. A conference of Illinois and Indiana public health officials was suggested by Dr. King. No reply has been received. State health authorities point out that officials possess a formidable weapon in a Federal regulation requiring possession of permits for persons socially diseased to engage in interstate travel. A fine of SSOO and a year’s sentence is possible under the Federal statute, they said.

RIGHT TO SEARCH * AUTOQUESTIONEO Warrant Required Before Molesting Car, Argument. Holding that constitutional right of Edward Pohlman, Haugh Hotel, to be secure in his auto from search for liquor without a warrant had been violated. John F. Robbins, Fohlman’s attorney, today launched, a vigorous attack in Criminal Court. Robbins moved to quash an affidavit charging his client with transporting liquor. The liquor was found in his car, Aug. 3, 1928, by Sheriff Snider and Claude M. Worley, investigator for Criminal Court, when they examined the car without search warrant. Prosecutor William H. Remy argued that "flouters of the Constitution are the first to seek its protection when arrested.” Judge James A. Collins took the question under advisement. FALLANDSINGLAIR TELEGRAMS READ (Continued From Page 1) you knew McLean had discussed the story.” "I based my testimony on the inference I got from the newspapers after the story came out.” Major replied. "There wasn’t one word mentioned about what McLean’s purpose was when he went to Atlantic City.” Many reasons are ascribed for failure of the committee to ascertain the facts concerning multifarious reports, rumors, or direct information that have come to it. They include: 1. That the exigencies of politics have caused some witnesses conveniently to "forget.” 2. That the agencies of the committee are not sufficiently powerful to dig up the absolute evidence in the face of opposition from high quarters. 3. That there is no evidence and hence it cannot be found. (The committee. however, is reluctant to believe there is so much smoke without a little fire.) This situation obtains regarding reports of a big pool of Government officials, rumors of the so-called mllliondollar slush fund, the story that an effort was made to barter the Secretary of Interior at the last Republican convention and other Important phases of the inquiry. GUN RUNNING TRAILED Daugherty Investigation I*eads to Mexican Revolt of 1921. * By United Press WASHINGTON, March 11.—Tales of gun-running and recruiting for an embryonic revolution in Lower California in 1921 were told the Daugherty investigating committee today. Senators Brookhart and Wheeler, who will conduct the probe into the Attorney General’s administration of the Department of Justice talked with witnesses from California and Texas and outlined the cases they hoped to have ready for hearing Wednesday or Thursday. The Daugherty committee has decided to train its opening gun* on the department's alleged complicity ln the Catu revolution of 1921—a revolution which came to nought—bu‘ which Senator Wheeler and his colleagues will try to show the rebels were aided by American Department of Justice agents acting under orders from Washington. The trail may lead to ‘he most recent Revolution in Mexico—that of Adolfo De I*a Huerta. What the committee will seek to prove is that wealthy oil men, who hoped ‘.o secure favor and concessions if the former Governor of Lower California was successful /‘pulled wires” in the Department of Justice with the result United States agents were o>dered to violate the law again* - gun-running and recruiting and thus assist the Cantu faction.
