INDUSTRIALS HIT BY SMALL LOSSES IN INITIAL DEALS Approval of Increase in Corporation Tax Has Adverse Effect. The WALL STREET JOURNAL NEW YORK, April 29.—Secretry Mellon's statement that no reduction was 'contemplated In the rediscount rate and the Senate's approval of an increase in the corporation tax to 14 per cent from 12tj had an adverse influence on stocks in the early dealings. Fractional losses from the previous close were suffered by Steel. American Can, Cast Iron Pipe and other active industrial leaders. However, the volume of dealings was light and the general disposition of the speculative community was to await the outcome of the Steel meeting at 3 p. m. today. First Hour Following the selling movement in the early dealings, prices steadied in the general list and operations for the rise were resumed in the industrial issues. Cast Iron Pipe reached anew high record at 93 as against the low last week of 75 !4- General Electric showed a net gain of 1% at 213%, while Pan American B, selling at 45% as against a low of 42% last week, featured tpe oil group. Pan Americans recovery* has been caused by a realization on the part of traders of the current earnings of the company. Second Hour Trading dragged in uninteresting fashion through the late morning, showing effects of the suspense with regard to the size of the extra dividend to be authorized at the Steel Corporation meeting this afternoon. Studebaker was depressed to 82%, off 3 points from Monday’s high. A result was falling off in speculative interest in sections of the list rather than in recurrence of general weakness. There was good borrowing demand for leading industrials at Monday's close, indicating that new bear | contracts had been put out. While i considerable reduction took place in I short interest on last week's rally, big professionals are said to have made no attempt to cover on four days’ advance. Noon Hour Wall Street during the noon hour was inclined to attach much significance to rumors current in the .financial district that the New York Federal Reserve Bank is considering a reduction in its rediscount rate. This is true despite the fact that Secretary Mellon stated there was no contemplated change in Federal reserve rates. After all, it is recognized that Secretary Mellon was merely expressing his personal opinion as any changes in the rediscount rates of any of the reserve banks is a matter for the respective boards of directors to decide. Fourth Hour Sluggishness continued to characterize the list in the early afternoon. Studebqker dropped to anew low on the move at 82% at which point it had lost all but a fraction of its recovery from the year's low. Pressure against Studebaker. however, failed to start general selling among the industrials. Other leaders simply turned dull, while operations for the rise were not interred in the issues affected by special developments. Iron Products jumped 4 points to 49%, responding to the improved trend shown in the monthly earnings. March net of $145,000 was at the annual rate of $lO to sl2 a share as compared with
last years' showing of $7.57 a share. Twenty leading industrials Monday averaged 90.99, off 1.03. Twenty leading rails averaged 80.95. off .30. Local Bank Clearings Indianapolis bank clearing:* today were $2 843.000; bank debits amounted to 55,775,000. New York Money Market Bn I nitcd Financial NEW YORK April 29.—Interior banks have not withdrawn funds to any extent from this center and the surplus of funds here is as great as it was at the close of last week. Call money after ruling at 3% per cent all day yesterday, renewed at 3* per cent this morning and held through to the afternoon at this rate Time money was very dull at 4' to 4'i per cent, depending on the maturity. Commercial paper was active with prime names discounting at 4V% per cent, other good names at 4 per cent. Bankers acceptance wore active and firm.

CURB IRREGULAR WITH OILS ON DOWN GRADE Both Standard and Independent Issues Suffer Small laissos. By United Financial NEW YORK, April 29.—Irregularity characterised the curb market in the afternoon when trading was dull as during the forenoon. The trend was downward in the oils, with Standard Oils and the independent ils sustained small losses. Standard Oil of Ohio, Humble Oil and Gulf were among the losers for the day. The market showed that both sides were a little uncertain concerning the immediate future. The quick snap back today in call money rates to 4% per -cent in the early .ifrernoon after renewing at 3%. caused some cessation in the out-of-town demand. About the only feature of the Industrial group was the further improvement of Gillette Saftey Razor, which was irregular and generally lower. The metal shares were reasonably steady in a rather indifferent market. LIBERTIES SLIGHTLY OFF ON UNINTERESTING MART Sharp Rise in Call Money Halls Some Investment Buying. By United Financial NEW YORK. April 29.—A few features managed to crop in the rather uninteresting session in bonds. The sharp rise in call money from 3% at the opening to 4% in the early afternoon served to shut off some investment buying from out-of-town, and narrowed the interests shown in Liberty bonds, but the general bond list was unmoved by the tightening of the money market. Banks who were good buyer? of Liberty bonds on Monday, made few commitments today and prices were down a trifle. Serb 8s again scored anew high for 1924. this time getting to 82%. French and British issues were steady to Arm. in sympathy with foreign exchange. Wilson & Cos. issues weakened during the later dealings in rather heavy selling. The Agriculture Chemical Is sues were prosaic. Oil and sugar issues held their ground well. Copper and steel bonds held near previous closes. Produce Markets INDIANAPOLIS.

WHEAT AND CORN DIME SLIGHT GAIN Foreign Crop News Considered Unfavorable, /!u Times Special CHICAGO, April 29.—-Wheat and corn closed fractionally higher, oats irregular on the board of trade today. Wheat was nervous and erratic throughout the session. Jhere was a great deal of changing over, sellers of Jday replacing in the deferred months. Foreign crop news was unfavorable causing a little better feeling among exporters. Domestic conditions continue favorable. In a late rally, corn came out of Its early slump. Strength in wheat was responsible for the turn-about. Cash prices were irregular fluctuating within a fractional. Oats was the only weak grain on j the list. Most weakness was apparent jin the May delivery. Little attention ; was paid to the market. Lack of speculative interest caused ■ lard to sell off. Moderate demand by t small packers gave ribs a slightly higher finish. Chicago Grain Table —April 29 WH EAT— Prtv. ripen, High. Low. Close, oloae.

HOGS OFF FIFTEEN AT MARK OF $7.45 Large Receipts Tend for Price Slump, Hog Prices Day by Day Apr. 250-300 lbs. 200-275 lbs. 150 180 ibs. 23. 7.55 7.65 7.55 24. 7.45 7.45 7.45 25. 7.60 7.60 7.00 26. 7.60 7.60 7.60 28. 7.00 7.60 7.60 29. 7.45 7.45 7.45 Large receipts seemed the primary reason for a 15 cent decline in hog prices in dealing at the local livestock yards today. Nearly ail trading was accomplished on the $7.45 basis as compared to Monday’s bulk price of $7.60. Demand from outside account and local packers was moderately string. Offerings were moving satisfactory on the early market promising a rather good clearance of the pens in the face of the unusually large receipts. Heavyweights, over the 300pound market were slightly lower than the rest and were priced at $7.40 to $7.45. Two or three lots of choice hogs sold early at $7.50, establishing the top price of the day. Sows failed to any great extent to reflect the general decline and those of the choice lightweight smooth variety still commanded a top quotation of $7 with the bulk moving around $7.60 to $7.75. Ordinary roughs were accordingly lower. The demand for pigs was firm and prices generally steady. Those weighing 130 pounds and more were sold around $6.75 and some of the light yorker type brought $7. Hogs in the truck division numbered 4,000 and were moving at an average of 5 cents lower. Total number of hogs on sale wa.s estimated at 13,000. Cattle trading was only moderately active with receipts of 1,200 head. Traders were again inclined to believe that the market would be slightly lower before the day's dealings were finished although Monday’s predicted downward trend failed to develop to any noticeable extent. Heifers seemed to be the class hardest hit because of large receipts. They were quoted at $6 to $9, It taking only the very choice to bring the top price. Fair to choice steers and heavy cows are in rather urgent demand and prices held mostly Arm. Approximately 1.300 calves forced the market fifty cents lower. Practically all deals were made at $9 to $9.60, buyers finding no trouble in obtaining much good stock at the $9.50 mark. A few isolated sales of the choice driven-in variety of calves were consummated at $lO. Fair to poor stock also suffered the price decline and this class was off fifty cents and in some cases more. th range being from $5 to $7. Sheep prices were steady with 100 head offered for sale. Wooled fall lambs brought a top price of sls and those of the spring variety found a high mark at sl7.

TAKE FARE PLEA 10 COMMISSIuN
Petition for 5-Cent Rate for School Children Ready for Filing. Edward O. Snethen, president of the Indianapolis Federation of Community Civic Clubs, was to file today with the public service commission a petition asking them to authorize the Indianapolis Street Railway to sell books of tickets at the rate of twenty for $1 for use of school children in going to and from school. At a recent meeting the federation indorsed The Indianapolis Times’ proposal for lower rates for school children. Federation officials conferred Monday to draft the petition. What the Petition Says Petition says in part: “Since the public service commission has granted an increase in fares from 5 cents to 7 cents for individual fares, and that whore tickets are bought the new rates would make the fare 6H cents, with acne-cent fare, or total of 714 cents, for an individual fare where a transfer is used; and that this schedule will work a hardship on hundreds of school children both In grade and high schools, who need to use the street cars in going to and from the schools.” The petition further contended that the revenue derived from school children would not substantially Increase the revenue of the street car com- ; pany, but would work a hardship on the children, and especially on parents of limited means, who have several children In school. Tickets in Schoolroom Sale of books cojld be transacted through school officials so that the sale would be made in a bona fide : manner to school children, according |to the plea. Petition also said that higher education of our future citizenship should be fostered and that the extra charge in fares, although small, might be just enough to keep children out of school. A resolution indorsing The Indianapolis Times' efforts will be considered at a meeting of the Englewood Hustling Hundreds Monday night at 35 N. Rural St. NEWSIES PRAISE CIRCUS Boys and Girls Who Carry Times Vote Show “Best Ever.” John Robinson’s circus today was more popular In Indianapolis than It ever has been before.

The questionable success of the Indiana Republican State administration will be drowned under a flood of praise for the Republican national adminis' tration at the Republican State convention if the present plans of the Republican State committee can be cairied out, according to a Washington dispatch today. Republican State Chairman Clyde A. Walb returned this week from conferences with Washington leaders. Hinges on Jolmson Complete success of this plan will be assured. Indiana Republicans in Washington say, if Hiram Johnson suffers an overwhelming defeat at the primary on May 6. This plan, ■worked out by Walb and Indiana’s congressional delegation while Walb in Washington over the week end, calls for a gushing pro-Coolidge Dronounce ment at the Republican State convention late in May. At that time the McCray episode will be ignored as much as possible. Except for reference to good roads legislation and perhaps some other minor matters, the Hoosier Republicans will launch forth with an elaborate enumeration of Calvin Coolidge's virtues. This coarse, it is felt, will be much safer tnan that of stepping on too many toes belonging to Indiana Republicans.
Come Out for Primary Another subject that will be avoided | by the Republican convention will be j a pronouncement on the direct prii mary. Although Senator Watson, I Postmaster General New and other j leaders are against the primary and feel that the present large number jof candidates for Governor consti- | tutes a conclusive argument against ! the primary, it' has been decided to; ! go very strong on the anti-primary j subject at the convention.

Va., April 29.—N0 hope was held out today for rescue alive of 110 miners entombed in the Benwood mill mine of Lie Wheeling Steel Corporation twenty-four hours ago by a terrific gas explosion that tore down mine supports, letting loosetons of earth on the trapped men. Officials of the mine admitted that it would be a miracle should any miner be rescued alive. Twenty-two crushed and burned bodies were brought to the surface at dawn today from the workings. A small army of expert rescue workers, recruited from Bureau of Mines cars and mines in the vicinity | of Benwood, were still groping their way through the caverns of the earth today searching for the eighty-eight men unaccounted for. While the rescue squads worked untiringly the entire population of Benwood —4,773 men, women and children —huddled on a muddy hillside outside the Benwood mine gate, hoping against hope as the hours passed by that their loved ones might have escaped death. The cause of the explosion is still undetermined. Forty bodies had been removed xroni the mine at 9:30 a. m. Isaac M. Scott, president of the Wheeling Steel Corporation, today issued a statement saying that 114 men had entered the mine on Monday ; morning. This is the first time the | exact number of men caught in the | disaster was made known. “The explosion unquestionably came from gas,” Scott said. "We have no idea how the gas developed which caused the explosion.” Clasped aian in arm. the bodies of Recco and Michael Capabiance were found near the Brown's Run air shaft today. The two brothers had escaped the roof falls and fire that followed the blast, only to be overcome by fire damp within a few hundred yards of fresh air. Fourteen additional bodies were brought to the foot of the main entrance slope of the mine by rescue squads at 10 a. m. MAJOR BERRY INDORSED
