WALL STREET IN GREATEST SLUMP IN MANY MONTHS • Stocks Drop Vs to 6 Points —Tax Reduction Gone Glimmering, BULLETIN - n u United Press NEW YORK, May 20. —The sharpest decline in months was registered on the stock exchange this morning •—the aftermath of news that the Senate had over-ridden President Coolidge's veto of the bonus bill. Great numbers of selling orders, rushed in after the market closed strong Monday, pushed issues down at the opening today from oneeighth to six points. Passage of the bonus spelled one tiling to Wall Street —the hope of a reduction in taxes gone glimmering. Up to the very last minute yesterday the financial community hoped for sustaining of the President's veto by the Senate. This was clearly portrayed in the rally just at the close yesterday when stocks mounted fractionally higher for the day. It has been assumed that many of the larger operators had fully discounted the passage of the bonus, but opening prices indicated many did not. One of the tragic phases of the tmrgins sent out to even margin trader in Wall Street. Clients who were unable to put up the heavy margin asked for, were sold out this morning as the initial quotations mutely testify. NEW YORK. May 20.—Heavy selling was precipitated at the opening by the Senate's adoption of the soldiers bonus hill. American Can broke to Cast Iron Pipe. 6 to 70; Baldwin. 3'* points to 105; Offerings were general, affecting the rails as well as the industrials, although considerable encouragement was derived from Score tan, Mellon's adherence to the plan of bringing about a 25 per cent reduction in 1023 taxes despite the victory of the bonus measure.

Stocks Heavier Stocks became heavy again in the late morning, depressed by offerfrom floor traders who took trials on the opening break with the idea of scalping half a point or so on the ensuing rebound. When the general list turned easier, professional operators resumed their driving tactics against Baldwin, Steel and American Can and succeeded in wiping out most of the recovery from the initial lows. Fisher body experienced a precipitate drop, selling 3% points down. Local Bank Clearings Indianapolis bank clearings Tuesday were 53.*270,000. Brink debits amounted to 56.495.000.

WEATHER AND PRICES PLAY HAVOC ON FARMS But Optimistic Hoosiers Have Not Lost Hope. With every day of inclement weather, grain production in Indiana becomes more jeopardized. In all except the southern portion of the State, corn planting is at a standstill. Many fields according to reports have not even been prepared. About 9 per cent of the wheat crop has already been destroyed by killing frosts, flooded fields and snow. To say the least, farmers have been doubly handicapped with the weather and high prices, but the optimistic Hoosier tiller of the soil, has not given up hopes.

Time* Wa ah inoton Rurcau, 1.122 ,Vfto York Air. WASHINGTON, May 16.—Possibly you have noticed a peculiar “oniony" flavor in your milk the past few mornings. Don’t blame It on the milkman. It is due to the farmer's cows eating the wild opion or garlic weed. For ten years the Department of Agriculture has been conducting a systematic eaxnapign to eliminate tiie weed, .but many farmers have disregarded the insi-uctions. The wild opion is prevalent along the Atlantic coast from Massachusetts to Georgia and as far west as Missouri. In the spring particularly cows eat the plant, which results in dairy products becoming tainted with the offensive odor and flavor of or onion. ' Two methods can be followed to prevent the milk from becoming tainted,” Dr. Car! W. T ,arson, chief of the dairy division of the department, stated today. “Tiie lest method consists in eliminating the pest altogether by systematic; plowing and cultivation. But if the weed exists, tiie simple expedient of taking the cows off pasture six houin before milking prevents tiie odor Impregnating the milk.”

HOW CONES ARE MADE Gas Oven Fan Bake 2,000 an Hour on Seven-Foot Wheel. Ice cream cones, fragile containers of the sweetr. beloved of youth, are molded and baked at the rate of 2,000 an hour by means of a gas oven and a seven-foot wheel. The wheel lies upon its side ar and is built with thirty-six spokes, upon each of which is a double iron mold. The liquid batter is poured into the hollow cone, a cone-shaped plunger automatically descends, pressing the batter into its finished shape. The wheel then revolves, carrying the mold into the gas oven, which bakes it evenly and quickly. The wheel then turns forward another spoke, bringing another filled mold into the oven, while the finished cone is removed.

NEW TREATMENT IS DISCOVERED Harvard Medical Professor Makes Defeat Easier, Discovery of a now treatment for pneumonia, which holds out a definite hope of radically reducing the death rato, has been made by Dr. Lloyd D. Felton, assistant professor of preventive medicine and hygiene in the Harvard Medical School, accoitling to an announcement made by the influenza commission of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. Dr. Felton has found a method of precipitating and concentrating the ajiji bodies in anti-pneumococcus serum. This concentrated solution has been used with encouraging results in about sixty cases at the Boston city hospital and in about sixty more in hospitals in New York and Brooklyn. While it is impossible to estimate the exact value of the discovery, even the most skeptical of those familiar with Dr. Felton's work have declared that at least 25 per cent, and possibly 50 per cent, reduction in the pneumonia mortality rate is assured. The discovery of Dr. Felton’s Is in many ways a parallel to the concentration and refinement of diphtheria anti-toxin. It is predicted that the great strides made in the prevention and cure of diphtheria will be duplicated to a considerable extent in the next decade in the fight on pneumonia, and this latest discovery is the first big progressive step in that direction.

A cloud of smoke enveloped ; the two cars as they came together, jan eyewitness said. When it cleared j away the splintered and twisted fronts of the interurbans were strewn on both sides of the track. A girl standing in a yard fifty feet from the wreck was struck by a piece of the debris. She was not seriously hurt. Within a few' minutes a crowd of several hundred arrived on the scene and began clearing away the wreckage from the injured and the bodies of the dead. Ambulances were called from Ft. Wayne and Huntington and motor cars pressed into service. Mrs. William Overly of Huntington was waiting at the station to meet her husband, whom she expected to be on the flyer.
