BUOYANT TONE DISPLAYED ON STOCK MARKET @ Tax Bill Agreement Brings Large Overnight Buying, Daily Stock Letter (By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK. May 22.—Conference committees agreement on a tax bill will, without doubt be followed by enactment by both branches of Congress and will be signed by President even though it is not the bill he wanted. He will sign it because the people demand a reduction and this bill decs reduce. But as a business stimulant it is not going to be lasting. Forty per cent on a half a million dollar income and over will not change the iiabit of buying tax free bonds. The market will possibly remain fairly steady for a while, fluctuating within the limits recently established, unless we have had a chance to determine just what, if any, improvement in business will follow. By United Press NEW YORK, May 22.—Fuller appreciation of the constructive accounts likely to accrue from the agreement on the tax t>ill brought large overnight buying orders into the market and the whole trade showed a relatively bouyant tone in early dealings.

Amateur Tips SAYS TRIS SPEAKER Manager, Cleveland Indians lOST outfielders have much more difficulty in going out w_i after a ball than coming in on It. That is, it is easier for them to catch fly balls in which the bail is constantly in advance of them, such balls being easier to judge. That being the case, every outfielder should attempt to perfect his play in going back after a ball. Coming in on the ball is a natural habit, going back after fife ball an acquired art. If a player is equally proficient it enables him to play a much shorter field. There is a distinct advantage in such a style of play, since far more balls drop safe in front of tho average fielder than are hit over his head. I am strongly in favor of an outfielder playing a short field. This is impossible if he is weak on balls hit over his head. For that reason alone, I say every outfielder should constantly seek to perfect his play on fly blls on which he is forced to go back to make a play.

THE IN DIAH AEOLUS TIMES

PLATFORM FIGHT AT CONVENTION (Continued From Page 1) what he said were improved relations with foreign nations, invaluable aid given Europe without resulting obligation on our part, reduced public debts and reduction in public expenditures. After Ed Jackson, nominee for Governor had spoken, Edgar D. Bush, one of his primary opponents came out strong in support of Jackson. Shank Gives Talk Chairman Branch called * Mayor Lew Shank, another opponent to the platform. Shank said: “WelJ, folks, who gives a darn for a loser, anyway. I was beaten fair and square. Go to it, get a good ticket and let’s eject it this fall. ‘‘l thought I could run some, but it seems the people of Indiana wanted me to be rrfayor of Indianapolis another year. I believe nfl'self I’ve made a good mayor.” It was necessary for Branch to rap frequently for order. Continual cries of “Louder!” interrupted A. G. Graham, chairman of the resolutions committee, who read the report. The platform reported by the resolution committee was adopted by acclamation. Instructions for Coolidge So was a resolution offered by Ewing Emison, Vincennes, instructing delegates to the national convention to vote as a unit for Coolidge. The slate for the fourteen dele-gates-at large to the national convention was “railroaded” through the convention by Chairman Branch. The chairman declared the delegates ratified allowing slight chance for opposition from the floor. When the name of ox Governor Goodrich was read as a member of the delegation he was hissed and booed and loud shouts of “No, no," came from all parts of the hall. Goodrich Laughs

Mr. Goodrich, who was seated on the platform, laughed heartily as the hissing continued. Chairman Branch was forced to rap repeatedly to bring the convention to order. The fourteen delegates-at-large are: Emmett F. Branch, Clyde A Walb, Senator J lines E. WatsrJn, Postmaster General Harry New, Ex-Senator Albert J. Beveridge, Henry Marshall.

Stephenson, grand dragon of the Klan in Indiana was present at the conferences held in the rooms of Senator James E. Watson. Stephenson was closeted with Watson during the greater portion of the evening. The Klan leader has been victorious in every encounter with Walter C. Bossert, lender of the regular Klan faction and Stephenson declared Wednesday night he had been successful In naming every member of his delegate slate. With ex-Governor James P. Goodrich apparently eliminated as a factor in the proceedings of the powers that be, the New-Watson fight for control broke *out .immediately on arrival of the poHtmaster general from Washington.

York, called by Marshal Foch “the greatest hero of the World War.” He Is hard at work on his 400acre farm here, given him by the people of Tennessee. “It will he a long time before I can get it into shape,” he explains. "There is a lot of work to be done, clearing and cutting It costs mo nearly $S a day for the feeding of my stock alone. "My barn burned down, and I lost nearly everything I had in it. T "I cannot get much done around here because of my right arm. Sort of rheumatic condition contracted during the war, caused by exposure, I guess. “Yes. T carry Insurance, the old Army kind. Costs me about $5.80 a month. Yes. T could claim disability, but I am not." This man who, almost singlehanded. silenced a nest of thirty1i ■ * - German machine guns, killed twenty-two and captured 132 Germans, including a major, could be rich today—but his conscience and deep religious convictions prevented him from accepting movie, vaudeville and lecture contracts. He turned down offers that would have brought him hundreds of thousands of dollars and settled on the 400-acre farm given him by the people of Tennessee.
