INDUSTRIALS AT - BEST LEVELS BE RECENT RECOVERY Strength Believed Added by Enforcing of the Surtax, The WALL STREET JOURNAL NEW YORK, May 6. —With the industrial stocks selling at the best levels of the recovery from the Febru-ary-March decline the general list gave an excellent demonstration of the undermined strength in the force of the- Democratic victory in enforcing the 40 per cent maximum surtax. Professional operators attempted to this development in .the early dealings when setbacks averaging about a point occurred in Baldwin. Studebaker and other industrial leaders. Stubborn resistance, however, developed to this selling in the Standard stocks. First Hour Trading procedeed quietly during the first hour. Early recessions were not extended and a steady tone characterized the general list. Professional attempts to take advantage of developments with regard to the tax bill proved fruitless. Instead of forcing liquidation, drives in various sec tions of the list disclosed the sold-out condition and the market turned dull on reactions. Important accumulation was reported :n many standard issues. Second Hour Stocks had a slightly easier tone in the second hour but the volume of dealings continued light and good absorption of the standard issues was reported. Recent buying of Baldwin was 1 said to be particularly impressive. James B. Duke is credited with having purchased between 20.000 and 25,000 shares in recent weeks. Baldwin's floating supply is normally placed at from 50,000 to 75,000 shares. Noon Hour United States Cast Iron Pipe declined to 88%, against its recent high of 94% during the noon hour affected by announcement that a French - oncern had won an order for 3.000 tons of cast iron pipe from public service corporation of New -Jersey in competition with American makers. Rumcrs were also spread that decision was forthcoming on appeal of recent order prohibiting United States Cast Iron Pipe from paying a common dividend until accumulation of $5.51 a share on preferred had been wiped out. Fourth Hour Speculativ sentiment gained increasing confidence from the action of the market through the fourth hour. Despite discouragement aroused by the Senate’s adoption of the Democratic maximum of 40 per cent surtax, the I general list displayed a strong tone, j rebounding easily from early selling which this news precipitated. New York Central led the high grade, reach-; Its best levels on the current move at 101%. New highs for the year in' Kennecott at 39 and American Smelting at 64*4 were principal featux-es among the coppers. Final Hour. No further progress on the recovsry was made in the last hour in the main body of stocks but special strength continued in various individual issues. Twenty leading rails Monday averaged 81.58, up .07 per cent. Twenty leading industrials averaged 92.23, up .30 per cent. New York Money Market Bu United Financial SEW YORK.

GRAINS IRREGULAR AT TRADE CLOSE Session Onee of Dullest in Years, By United Financial CHICAGO. May. 6. —Grains closed irregular, fluctuating within narrow limits, in one of the dullest sessions on record at the Board of Trade. Wheat closed higher, obtaining most of its strength from outside influences. Th elocal market was in a waiting mood. No one, even seasoned professionals, showed disposition to make extended commitments. They were apprehensive of the political outlook. Liverpool was up sharply at the close due to small shipments and the Argentine strike. Snows in the Northwest will retard spring planting. Aside from these reports crop news was favorable. Corn moved within a narew margin. An early dip was recovered in a noon rally. Cash busineS was not urgent. Heavy sales were made to store. Cash oats strenbthened with improved demand. Other deliveries slumped with cprn. Provision trading was confined to lard. Few sales were transacted at a slightly higher range. Chicago Grain Table —May 6 WHEAT— Pmv. Open. High. Lew. Close, clow.

Grain Briefs CHICAGO. May o.—The Canadian grovernment plana to appoint a tariff oommiwhon to revise tariff rates and arrange trade preference with South America because of the increase in United States tariff rates. Farmers are to 1* discouraged from trading with the United States. It would be better to buy and burn the exportable grain surplus rather than dispose of it under the MeNary-Haugen bill. C. W. Barron, publisher of the tVal! Street Journal, declares. He branded the bill as bordering on Russian socialism. Although few export sales are reported from the seaboard, it is believed that more business is being done than officially reported. One exporter bought a malf million bijphels of Manitobaa Saturday. Northwest seeding Is practically completed. Reports are generally favorable, hut some sections report lack of sub-soil moist uro. Spring wheat acreage in three principal producing provinces in Canada was privately estimated at 20,200.000. ae compared with j 21.581,000 last year. t Within a short time grain futures should | carry sufficient strength to permit a test of the various theories as to the best methods of marketing crops, a leading professional opines.

DEMOCRATS VOTE IN GM PRIMARY (Continued From Page 1) the ninety votes were Democratic ballots used. The election board received a call for mor< Republican ballots from the Sixth pi ecinot of the Tenth ward, about 8 a. m. Republican politicians took this to indicate that many Democrats on the south side were voting in the Republican primary. True In 1921 This was true in the city primary in 1921. Democrats by the thousands voted in tlie Republican primary for Shank for Mayor. The Tenth ward normally is heavily Democratic. Whether the Tenth ward Democrats were voting for Shank for Governor was not known. From every precinct came reports of the heaviest primary voting in history'. The length of the ballots made the voting slow. Early fears were expressed In %>me precincts that some citizens might not be accommodated by the time the polls close at 6 p. in. Supplies Are Rushed The eltction board had four trucks and seven passenger automobiles rushing supplies and investigators to precincts. One of the trucks broke down. The board hired a taxicab. Still the calls for more supplies kept coining. The Third and Fourth precincts of tlie Thirteenth ward reported that the Republican ballots had Edward C. Toner's name In the list of candidates for Congressman Toner is a candidate for Republican nomination for Governor The board destroyed the Incorrect ballots and sent substitutes Voters walked out with almost all of the. blue pnecils in the Twentieth precinct of the Fourth ward and the board sent more Fail to Register Voters An official was sent to the Seventh precinct of Wayne Township to instruct the board when it was reported that voters were not being registered as they cast ballots. The Eighth precinct of the Fourth ward asked for more pencils and maps. The Eleventh precinct of the Tenth ward did not have any Democratic sample ballots. Harry South, inspector of the Fifth precinct of the Second ward reported that only about eighty persons had voted by 9 a. m., and that he expected the booths would accommodate about 400 all day. The Fifteenth precinct of the Ninth ward had 100 in line at 9 a. m., while the Thlrtenth precinct. Ninth ward, reported about 200 persons got tired of waiting and left. Calls for 800 l Its Calls for more booths were received early in the day from the Eleventh of the Ninth, Fifth. Eighth, Thir -teenth, First and Tenth of the Tenth Ward. Sixth of Perry Township, Thirteenth, Twelfth, Third and Fifth of the Ninth Ward, Fifth of the Second Ward, Eleventh of the First Ward, Tenth, Fourteenth, Seventeenth, Twentieth, First and Fifteenth of the Fourth Ward. Some precincts called two and three times. The board sent one additional booth to several precinct but the limited reserve supply prevented answering all demand^. The Tenth and Eighth precincts of Wayne Township filled their ballot boxes by 9 a. m. and asked the election board what to do. Leo K. Fesler, Republican election commissioner, ordered inspectors to obtain heavy grocery boxes and cut slits in them, since there were no more regulation boxes available. Pencils Cut In Half

At the Fourth precinct, Fifth ward, officials reported to the election board they were forced to cut pencils In two. ' Request for candles to light up the booths was received from Seventh precinct, First Ward. \ Only five had voted in the Second of the First Ward by 7:30 because the poll books were lost.

Voters for the most part were taking their time in booths. The Fourteenth of the Fourth Ward was enforcing a flve-mlnute limit to speed up voters. In the Sixth of the Third a three-minute limit was being considered. Only sixteen had voted the first hour and twenty-five were waiting. Drop Out of Line Many voters dropped out of line to go to work after waiting until the last minute. A few scattering precincts apparently had voters w r ell “slated.” They marked their ballots promptly and voting progressed rapidly. The Sixth of the Seventh reported 175 votes cast by 8:30. The first report of trouble received by police proved a false alarm. They found Robert Boyce and Bennie Shel-

ed at 512 N. Illinois St. fyr ihe G. A. R. and affiliated oi ganizations. It was hopede to raise $5,000. Mrs. Hazel Hirsch was chairman

'MINE DISASTERS ARE PREVENTABLE Expert Says Benwood Blast Could Have Been Averted, Times Washington Bureau, 1322 New York Ate. WASHINGTON, May o.—That coal mine disaster at Benwood, W. Va., last week, wherein 100 coal miners lost their lives, could have been avert'd by the adoption of modern safety methods. “Although we of course have no accurate data yet on just what caused the Benwood explosion, there is no doubt if stone dusting had been used that the disaster would not have been so great,” E. B. Swanson, administrative assistant in the Bureau of Mines, stated today. Stone dusting is the newest and surest method of preventing coal mine explosions. It is a simple, Inexpensive process, consisting of mixing stone dust with the coal dust lying around the mine. “Thus, if a local explosion should take place, the stone dust prevents the carbon particles of coal from igniting and causing the tremendous explosions which have snuffed otrt so many lives recently,” Swanson stated. *- ■ - School Bands Give Concert Manual Training High School band gave a concert at noon today at Monument PI.

RECORD VOTE OVER STATE ANTICIPATED (Continued From Page 1) are basing hopes for victory in the State’s industrial centers. Ed Hawkin’s, Shank leader in Fayette county at noon claimed Fayette county for Shank. At State headquarters for Senator Hiram Johnson it was admitted there was no hope of defeating Coolidge in the presidential race. Johnson backers figure the California solon will poll approximately 75,000 votes out of a possible 450,000. Coolidge Claims State Coolidge-for-President headquarters claim the State will go, 16 to 1, for the President. From every center throughout the State indications were the Republican ballot will be far above normal and it was declared thousands of Democrats were calling for Republican ballots. The Klan issue is blamed for this by party leaders. With the fight for party control in both Republican and Democratic camps and the Ku-Klux Klan question as the principal issues, interest ran unusually high, especially in thickly populated industrial districts. Candidates for Governor appeared optimistic this morning. Taggart at Helm Tom Taggart, Democratic wheel horse, was in evidjsnoe at McCulloch headquarters at the Claypool. “Everything points to one of the heaviest votes in the history of the State and an ultimate Democratic victory this fall,” Taggart said. Dr. McCulloch was at his headquarters throughout the day and declared reports from supporters were pleasing as to his progress. McCulloch placed his greatest strength in industrial centers, and declared reports from out-State indicated he was polling his expected votes in every vicinity. Ed Toner was early at his headquarters at the Lincoln and declared he was more than satisfied with the weather conditions. He declared a cut in the farmer vote would aid his candidacy. He went to Anderson to vote later in the day. Crifctenberger at Home Dale Orittenberger was in his home, Anderson, through the morning, where he, went to vote. Ed Bush went to Salem Monday to be on hajid early today to casfTiis ballot. Returns are expected to be unusually slow in being tabulated because of the large number of candidates. The belief was still maintained at various headquarters a convention in both parties would be necessary in the gubernatorial race.

PEACE AT G. 0. P. ’ CONVENTION TO BE DP TO MDLVANE f 'Strong Man From Kansas' Heads Committee o,n Arrangements. By XEA Service WASHINGTON, May 6.—MeetDave Mulvane, the Strong Man from Kansas. Dave is the Hercules on whose s'houlders has been loaded the task of getting everything shipshape for the Republican convention at Cleveland, June 10. Up to the minute the gavel falls, calling the 1,109 delegates, the 1,109 alternates, the 500 correspondents, the 2,000 “dlstingushed guests’ and the 8,000 favored spectators to “order,” Dave, as chairman of the committee on arrangements, must shoulder the big burden of the G. O. P show. But .•'nee the keynoter rounds his keynote, Dave will leave the ringmasters “car- j ry on.’ j A kindly-mannered, ruddy-faced (I soft-spoken man of 61 is Mulvane, * with rather bristling gray hair, pleasant eyes beaming from behind rimless glasses and an air of easy corc’iality. H • dropped Into Washington for a final discussion of convention needs. He p -omised Chairman Adams to have every hing shipshape for the arrival of national committee heads on June 1. Native of Illinois Mulvane, born in Illinois, noiv claims Topeka. Kas., as He practices law there. Despite his name, he’s a Methodist. The pace of the Cleveland convention, until after the nomination of Calvin Coolidge to succeed himself, it has been determined, will be dignified and leisurely. That is. barring any monkey-wrenches in the machinery by La Follette, Borah, Johnson and others who have been read out of the party by its conservative leadership. Tuesday, Jure 10, will come the keynote—probably by Secretary of State Hughes—and the appointment of committees. Wednesday, committee reports will he received and the platform nailed down. Not until Thursday, according to present schedule, will nominations be opened. Convention Will Not Be Rushed Even allowing adequate time for a proper Coolidge demonstration, it is believed the formalities of indorsing Cal for the top of the ticket will be concluded in a sufficient short time to Allow the presentation of vice presidential nomination that same afternoon. Probably a test ballot will be taken on the vice presidential slate and the nomination might even he made, but that is more likely to go ever until Friday morning. “There’s no need for hurrying the work of the convention,” a member of the national committee explains. “We want it to last at least three days. Cleveland wants a chance to entertain us and show us some Buckeye hospitality.” The "official” picture of the Re publican gathering in Cleveland, just before the keynote is sounded and deleflutes and decorations are still looking their best, will be made by Moffet of Chicago. _ Recognizing the growing importance of pictures, however, special facilities will be accorded photographers for newspapers and news agencies.
