GENERAL MARKET CONTINUES RALLY STARTED TUESDAY Coolidge’s Victories in Primaries Proves Bullish Factor. The WALL STREET JOURNAL NEW YORK, March 12. —Impetus was given to the recovers 7 In the general list In today's early dealings by President Coolidge’s sweeping victories In the Colorado and New Hampshire primaries, both States pledging their entire delegation to him at the Republican convention. Steel common reached 102 74 and American Can 115%, but the outstanding feature was the strength of Southern Railway, which made a 1924 record high at 61%. Southern’s strength was taken to indicate the board of directors had been won over to the idea of establishing a common dividend cent. * First Hour Rails were strong throughout the first hour, the buying move in Southern Railway and Norfolk spreading to New Haven, the Erie's and other lowpriced issues on the news that traffic is still running at levels unsurpassed in the history of American railroads. Impressive strength in the rails encouraged operations for a rise in various industrial specialties. LooseWiles spurted to 61 as against Tuesday’s low at 53% on the news that accounts'of unpaid preferred had been wiped out and that common dividends alight be resumed soon. Second Hour Trading diminished in volume as the morning progressed, but quiet strength continued to dominate practically the entire list. Freedom from selling pressure was the outstanding feature of the dullness. Rail stocks continued to draw a generous measure of the speculative attention, but epecialt'es and some of the bed-rock industrials also came in for their phare. Practically all activity favored the side of rising prices, any exception being due to special reasons that have no effect on the general market. Noon Hour Trading fell off in the noon dealings and no further progress was scored in the main body of stocks, but no recurrence of selling pressure took place and the general list continued to display confidence ewith Southern Railways reaching a further record high above 52 as the principal feature of the market. Cuba Dominican Sugar sold up 2 points to 48 on the strength of the annual report showing a surplus available -for preferred of sl7 a share, as compared to s2l the preceding year. Fourth Hour Trading continued light in the early afternoon and price changes in the pivotal stocks were w-ithout significance. Encouragement was received through the sharp recovery in francs, but the better feeling resulting was not pronounced enough to be translated into terms of a strong upward plant in the stock market. Special selling of Market Street Railways prior preferred, which dropped 4 points, betrayed general apprehension for safety of the $6 dividend and J. I. Case stock suffered a break of 7% to 15, depressed by recent elimination of the preferred stock. Twenty active industrial stocks on Tuesday averaged 97.81, up .60 per cent. Twenty active rails averaged 80.93, up .32 per cent.

UNEVENNESSAGAIN FEATURESGRAINS Wheat Depressed After Early Fractional Gain, Bv T utted Financial CHICAGO, March 12. —Unevenness again featured the opening on the Chicago Board of Trade today. Wheat gained fractionally at the start, but dipped later when bear influences became overwhelming. This depression was due to lower Liverpool, more wheat than expected, as shown by farm reserve figures, and liberal purchases of Canadian wheat by domestic interests. Some crop damage was reported East of the Mississippi and the fly menace Is prevalent in Kansas. Corn was inclined to hold its fractional advances. Receipts were light, the movement slow and arrivals of poor quality grain. Harvesting of Argentine’s new crop is progressing under favorable conditions. Oats rested at unchanged figures, although local sentiment seemed to favor the buying side. Provisions slumped with hogs and cables. Chicago Grain Table —March 12— WHEAT Prev. Open High. Low.

Grain Briefs CHICAGO. March 12.—The Government report, issued Monday, revealed that there is enough grain on farms and in the visible supply to furnish all domestic and export requirements. Winter wheat has been further injured by another week of alternate freezing and thawing, extending from Ohio to Missouri. B W Snow deolaml in his weekly statement. The Southwest prospects remain lar vorabie. It looks Aow as though domestic wheat will have to work to a level where the dem.ird will absorb our surplus, a leading trader who has been bullish for the last few months, declared. The flour demand. Millers say. is spasmodic buyers taking advantage of dips to accumulate stocks to tide them over the bulges. Indianapolis Stocks —March 12— Bid. Ask.

The decline was generally regarded a a dime, though the top was only a nickel lower than on Tuesday. Trading opened with buying at a flat price of $7.76, compared with Tuesday’s prevailing price of $7.85, and practically all the offerings moved at that figure. A local butcher paid $7.80 for one or two bunches of fancies and a shipper paid the top of $7.85 for one double-deck of extra fancies for eastern shipment. Kingan buyers obtained their supplies at $7 75, except for some truck hogs purchased from a speculator at $7.70, not included in the day’s car run. Kingan took about 5,000 of the 8,000 head offered for sale, small butchers and shippers having taken the remaining 3,000. Both pigs and roughs were about a quarter lower, pigs having sold down from $6.75 and sows down from $6.50. Receipts in the truck division were again light, though larger than on Tuesday. Due to the depressing influence of a lower Chicago market, prices in the cattle department tended lower despite *The fact that some fairly good stock was offered for sale. Buyers were present, but they were decidedly bearish and values gave ground as a result. Receipts, 1,000. Ar, advance of 50 cents to $1 was scored iq the calf market as the result of a continued heavy Eastern demand and choice veals brought $14.50 with an occasional sale aa high as sls, while the bulk sold from $13.50 to sl4.

M’Lean Says Fall Urged Lie (Continued From Page 1) if Albert was sick and wanted to see me I would come if it was absolutely necessary. Then she called again and I left the ne.rt day for Atlantic City. “I went in a private car, but there was no secrecy about the trip. When 1 got there .Mrs. Fall told me the secretary had had a terrible night and could not be disturbed. I told her 1 had to leave for Palm Beach and could not wait long. In about twenty minutes Alr. Fall came in. He was wearing a red wrapper and it did not take a doctor to tell that he was a sick man,” said McLean. Admits Embarrassing Position. “Fall said ‘Ned, you remember our check transactions of several years ago?’ he asked me if I would say 1 loaned it to him in cash. He said it had nothing to do with Sinclair or Teapot Dome. ‘l’m in an embarrassing position and my enemies are making the most of it,’ he said.

“They (the committee) are barking up the wrong tree. It Is not conI’tcted with Teapot Dome." “You told us those checks were drawn on Washington banks and we have found you didn't have that much money in the banks.” "I could easily have raised the SIOO,OOO. I had collateral worth $l4O, 000 in the safety deposit vault at that time and the lianks would not have refused payment.” "Did you tell Fall you did’nt have the funds?” “No sir.” "Then why did you make arrangements to have him call you up before he presented the checks.” "I don't know. I’m not sure I did ask him to do it.” "Why should Fall say he would call you up before he cashed the checks?" Not Casual Ix>an “It was not a casual loan Senator." "What were those papers put in the safe deposit vault by your agent Duckstein?” “Here is one of them,” McLean said tossing it over. "This is the prospectus of the ranch proposition in New Mexico Fall was attempting to interest you in,” Walsh said. "He wanted to go into partnership with you?” "Yes, sir.” ‘Are we to understand you went to the trouble of hiring a safe deposit box for this?” Walsh asked. Six Boxes if Necessary “You bet, I’d have hired six boxes for anything connected with this,” said McLean. "If you had exercised foresight by keeping the check stubs you would have been better off, wouldn't you?" "If I had exercised any foreslgnt at al! I wouldn’t be mixed up in this at all. I would be further away from here than that ranch is." McLean said the other papers in the box were "purely personal” and had nothing to do with Teapot Dome. "When did you become special agent of the department of justice?" he was asked. "I think It was in April, 1922.” “What service have you rendered?” Only Wanted Badge "None to speak of. The only thing was if you had a badge on a presidential trip you could get through police lines.” “The real reason then was to gix r e you access to the President?" "Yes.”

MINISTER POINTS OUT WORLD’S SIN Dr, Long Says God Consciousness Lacking, “The great sin of the world today is the want of God consciousness," Dr. George Long of Quincy, 111., said in his noonday sermon today at Christ Episcopal Church. “If we would bo Christians,” he said, “there Is placed upon us the necessity of being separate from certain things. There must be a distinct marking off of church life from the other life. Christ demands a clean city. Christ comes into your body to cleanse it- We all are co-workers with God. "God means for us to be intensely happy in this world. Sin cuts us off from God. God is around us, in our homes and in our business. It is for us to recognize Him.’’ INFLUENZA PASSES PEAK Only Nine Caaen Under Observation In Indiana. Influenza has passed Its peak in Iridiana. Dr. W. F. King, secretary, State board of health, stated today. Fifty cases were reported by county officials for the week ending Feb. 2, while only nine cases no ware under observation. "Influenza still is alive In the State,” said Dr. King.. “Every infected person should be isolated. Persons having colds should stay away from crowds and keep their body functions normal, if the disease Is to be successfully combatted.” BETTER BABY MEETING Two Weeks’ Crusade for Child eHaltli May Be Held in CSty. Dr. Ada E. Schweitzer, director of the infant and child hygiene, State board of health, conferred today with Dr. Herman Morgan, city board of health, on plans for a two weeks' crusade for better babies in Indianapolis. The city will be blocked into health wards and conferences held in places not already reached by the city child hygiene division. Paul Kirby, oitJT child hygiene director, will assist. ‘MEANEST MAN’ SOUGHT Blind Newsboy’s Cash Box Is lAoted Daily. Thomas McGraw, 1338 W. ThirtyThird St., blind newsman at Illinois and Ohio Sts., told police today some one is stealing his money every day between 2 and 3 p. m. Police are watching fer the "meanest man.”

“You didn’t neeu a code for that?” “No. I got the code and a little badge at the same time." "You still hold that position?” "Yes.” “We need a little help in deciphering these telegrams,” Walsh said. Walsh read the telegram saying McLean’s leased wire would give “easy and quick access to the White House.” "Why did you want access to the White House?” Explains Leased Wire "I didn’t. There have been so many mistakes about that wire I'd like to explain. Mr. Wiley, who is editor of the Cincinnati Enquirer, had a boy that was very ill and I wanted to take him to Palm Beach. With both of us away from my two papers, it was an absolutely impossible situation. We had to put ir> the leased wire. We had discussed it in November before any of this oil matter came up. It had nothing to do with the White House." Prior to examining McLean, the committee put P. E. McKenna, doorkeeper at the White House executive offices; E. W. Starling, White House Secret Service man, and E. W. Smithers. White House telegrapher, on the stand to explain telegrams they sent to McLean at Palm Beach. McKenna told the committee he had wired McLean C. Bascom Slemp, the President’ ssecretary, was leaving for Florida because McLean had asked him to and Slemp had given his consent. Starling explained that messages before himself and McLean concerned employment of a man named “Wilkins” as guard for McLean’s young son. Operator Is Called Smithers, who operated McLeon’s private wire between Washington and Palm Beach, told the committee he had asked for the position to earn some extra money and that his duties were exclusively eonhned to transmitting the messages and news digests that were sent over the private wire. Chairman Ladd read a telegram from R. M. Stewart, president of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana, denying that he had ever attended any conferences at Fall’s New Mexico ranch. Lenroot Resigns Senator Lnroot, Wisconsin, late Tuesday resigned his post as chairman of the oil committee on a plea of ill-health. His retirement was taken as significant in view of alleged secret conferences the chairman had with Senator Smoot, another member of the committtee, and A. B. Fall before the latter testified as to his SIOO,OOO <ioan. Senator Ladd, ranking member of the committee, will succeed Lenroot. I>add is a Republican identified with the La Follette group. STEWART WIRES DENIAL Standard Oil Officials Says He Did Not Attend Fall Conference. Bv United Pren CHICAGO, March 12.—C01. Robert W. Stewart, chairman of the board of directors of the Standard Oil Company of Indiana, has telegraphed the Senate Teapot Dome Committee a denial he attended a conference at the New Mexico ranch of Albert B. Fall, former secretary of the Interior in 1921. Stewart's name was mentioned Tuesday in connection with a conference in which Harry F. Sinclair. Col. J. W. Zevely, Sinclair's personal attorney. Fall and Stewart were supposed to have participated at the rench. "I never was In Three Rivers, N. M., at any time during 1921,” Stewart’s statement said in part.

CROP RESERVES IN INDIANA INCREASE DURING PAST YEAR Value of Lands Shows Decrease, Cooperative Report Shows, Total reserves of all crops held by Indiana rmers on March 1 showed a considerable inerease over last year, the hay crop excepted, a report Issued by the ccfoperative crop reporting service made public tooay revealed. Reserves of (jora, were 41 per cent of the 1923 crop and amounted to 78,972,000 bushels, compared with 70,522,000 bushejs in 1923 and 76,432,000 bushels in 1922. The higher reserves this year are due principally to farmers holding for better prices and because the quality of the crop is below the average. Wheat Reserves Increase Wheat reserves were 18 per cent of last year’s crop and amount to 6,165,000 bushels, compared with 4,628,000 bushels last year and 4.113,000 bushels In 1922. The quality of the crop was hardjy up to average because of rainy weather at thrashing time. The growing crop seems to be very spotted at this time. Much damage has been done by freezing and thawing weather in the southern part of the State and by ice covering low spots in the northern part. Reports from other sections of the winter ■wheat belts show plants to be in very poor condition. Oats Show Increase Reserves of oats were 28 per cent of last year’s production and amounted to 13,634,000 bushels, compared with 8,223,000 bushels last year and 17,896,000 bushels in 1922. In many localities, the quality of last year’s crop ws6r not up to average, because of continuous and heavy rains at thrashing time. Reserves of barjey were 13 per cent of last year’s production and amount to 83,000 bushels, compared vrith 61,000 bushels last year and 284,000 bushels in 1922. Much of last year’s crop was of poor quality. Rye reserx'es were IT per cent of last year’s production and amount to 712,000 bushels. The reserves of all hay on Indiana farms March 1 -were 29 per cent of last year’s production and amount to 803,000 tons, compared with 1,295,000 tons for last year. Land Values Lower Land values in Indiana, compared with last year show a decline of approximately $7 per acre for land with improvements and $6 per acre for land without improvements. The average value per acre of Indiana farms renting for cash In 1923 was S9O and the rental $6 per acre. The average value of plow lands was $94 per acre and the rental $7 per acre. Pasture lands were valued at $64 per acre and the rental $3.75 per acre. Building Permits C W Deerburg. addition, 836 S. Noble. S2OO. M. W. Bain, double. 2808 Burton. 51.800.
