IRREGULARITY IN OPENING STOCK •EXCHANGE TRADE Sugars Depressed - ndustrials Easier —India 'Rubber Hits New Low, Daily Stock Letter NEW YORK. June 5.—0il markets are reported sluggish. Gasoline demand poor. A cut in the price of crude by the end of the week is talked of. A slow steel market; operations again at a lower level. Where ever you run across industrial news it is bearish. And even in politics you can find things that are not very cheering. Wall Street idea was that the public at the first opportunity, would condemn the radical ideas of this Congress and give some indication of its approval of the President's stand: lowa voted the other way. Many continue of opinion that we are close to a change for the better. Let us hope so. But it will taka something more than talk. There is only one thing that will change business and that is buying. They have to buy. When there is evidence of this we will all recognize it.— BHE. Bn United Press YEW YORK, June s—lndustrial stocks were characterized by a generally easier tone in the earlier dealing's by selling in special groups. Oils ware subjected to professional pressure owing to the average daily Increase of 3,200 barrels in .he American Petroleum Insist .'.tees figures for the week ended May 31. Sugars were depressed by the jim op in the price cf the raw comto anew low at 314 cents, while United States Rubber broke to new low ground on the movement at 24th, on the announcement that its subsidiary, National India Rub ter Company would shut down for three months, its footwear divisions employing 2.100 persons and !©> "'ire division employing 450.

WHEAT CLOSESAT REDUCED PRICES Oats Higher on Individual . Strength Spurt, By United Press CHICAGO, June 5. —After a fractionally lower start, wheat closed Weak and at reduced prices on the Botrd of Trade Thursday. There was marked strength in foreign markets, but this was offset by scattered rains in the American and Canadian Northwest. This, with lack of speculative interest, served to cause the clump. * On the strength of numerous crop deterioration reports, corn got away to a strong and slightly higher start. Soon after trading began, however, crop news changed and an improved outlook was reported. This resulted In losses. The trading moved witharrow limits and closed lower, good cash demand and some unfavorable crop news sent oats off on a higher start. The advance held during the day and the close was made at advanced prices. Provisions started lower with hogs and cables, hut regained some strength before noon, only to ease off in the late hours. Trading was light and without feature. Chicago Grain Table —June 5 WHEAT— Prev. Open. High. %pw. Close. close.

Amateur Tips

SAYS GROVER ALEXANDER, Pitcher, Chicago Cubs. £Vr 3 ITH me success as a pitcher hinges entirely on control. L i— J Whatever fame I have achieved as a pitcher can be attributed to my ability to get the ball over. The pitcher should make It a point to get the batter in the hole and then work oi? him, rather than let the batter get the edge and have him pick on the cripple, when the pitcher is simply forced to take a chance and Jay the next one over. Constantly work for control Is my pet bit of advice to every player who seeks to shine as a pitcher. No matter how much stuff you may have, regardless of any freak deliveries you may have perfected, you are helpless unless you can get the ball over. i CANADIAN GOLF CLUBS Ontario First, Alberta Second in Number CALBARY, Alberta, June 5.

Do You Know Baseball? By BILLY EVANS

If you want the final decision on any baseball dispute, write Billy Evans, NEA Service, 1200 W. Third St., Cleveland. QUESTION'S 1.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

lERUSALEMASKS TOURISMS 10,000 Visitors to Holy City Overflow Accommodations, Bu Times Special NEW YORK, June 5. George Barsky, a hotel proprietor of Jerusalem, says the past season had been Palestine’s best since the war. He estimated that 10,000 tourists had visited Jerusalem, including those who came on the cruise from New York, and he expected the number would be largely increased next season. Mr. Barsky said that the Holy City was, badly off for hotels to take care of the rush of visitors and they had to be accommodated in the best way possible until anew hotel was constructed, which he hoped would not be very long. A number of tourists come to Jerusalem in the summer, he added, from Cairo, Tunis, Malta and other places at the eastern end of the Mediterranean, as Jerusalem stands' high above the sea level and is comparatively cool. The local government, he said, had repaired ail the highroads from Jerusalem to Jaffa, Haifa, Nazareth and Tiberius and they were in good condition for motoring. He declared that the deficit in the budget would be considerably less this year and that conditions generally in Palestine were improving. E. T.

NET PLANS CHANGED Tennis Officials Vote Against Special Meeting to Discuss Rule. By United Press NEW YORK, June s.—Believing the time inappropriate, the executive committee of the United States Law Tennis Association voted unan imously not to call a special meeting of the national organization to reconsider the player-writer rule. The decision caused surprise here as the faction supporting William Tilden, the champion, in his fight against the association thought they had forced a special meeting which would result in a victory.

DEMOCRATS MEET 10 NAMETICKET (Continued From Page 1) Senator Joseph Cravens, Madison, and Dr. Carleton B. McCulloch, Indianapolis. Cravens’ strength was growing considerably, according to indicationa about headquarters through Wednesday. Klan support was openly given to the Madison man, and according to some of his boosters it was feared such open support of the K!an delegates might split support of his other delegates. Probably the noisiest aggregation about the Claypool Wednesday night were the boosters of Mayor .George R. Durgan, Lafayette. They paraded through the lobby shouting "Hurrah for Durgan,” displaying canes and Durgan pennants in regular Purdue University style. According to statements of party leaders the Indiana delegation will not he instructed for Senator Ralston for President at the national convention. It was stated, however, immediately after adjournment of the convention, the delegates would meet and announce themselves for the Indiana Senator. Delegate Slate These persons for deiegates-at-large to the national convention were elected: Thomas Taggart, French Lick; W. H. O'Brien, Lawrenceburg; Lew KUingham. Ft. Wayne; William Cronin, Torre Haute; Mrs. A. P. Flynn, Logansport; Mrs. Fred Lowenstein, Evansville; Mrs. A. it. Erskine. South Bend; Mrs. Moses B. Lairy. Indianapolis. "'hose elected alternates: FYod Van Nuys, Indianapolis; Fabius Gavin, Shoals; Howard Gescheidler, Hammond; John Dignian, Bedford; Mrs. Harry McMulltn, Aurora; Mrs. J, F. Rude, Liberty; Mrs. Rachel Harris, Sullivan; Mrs. Catherine Dinklage, Ft. Wayne. During sessions of the resolutions committee a continual stream of interested delegates flocked about the session room. Visitors to the committee in interest of an atifiIvl.ui plank were Henry U. Johnson, Richmond; Judge John W Eggeman, Ft. Wayne; Ben Scifers, Lebanon John L. Hanna. Delphi and Findley Gray, Connersville. Plank on Labor The labor plank on the compensation law was presented by Adolph Fritz, secretary of the State federation of IVhor, and A. E. Gordon, of Terre Jlaute. T. N. Taylor, president of the State federation of labor, was a member of the resolutions committee. John M. Roush, Huntington, head of the township trustees organization, presented action on the county unit bill and the teachers ’license law. Olin R. Holt was reported to have made a speech at a Klan meeting at Bushman’s hall Wednesday night. Holt supporters declared he will hold his block of delegates, claiming 409 on the first ballot. The committees on credentials ruled that only delegates having the power of a full vote will be allowed on the convention floor. Some counties, it is said, sent larger numbers of delegates than the official apportionment. In Shelby County the official apportionment is sixteen delegates, but through error seventeen have been certified to the convention and the committee allowed this number to stand. The rules committee barred nominating speeches from the floor to prevent prolongation of the convention and resolutions must be made in writing before being submitted from the floor. Fabius Gwinn, Shoals, was named chairman of the committee. Mrs. Kern “Ijeft Out" Report that Mrs. John W. Kern, widow of the late Senator Kern, would not be selected as one of the four women delegates-at-large to the national convention at New York City came as a surprise to many delegates, as Mrs. Kern has been active in seeking the honor and generally had been conceded the position. The sudden change in plans of the leaders was said to have been due to the candidacy of John W. Kern Jr. for reporter of the Supreme Court. This is said to have lest Mr3. Kem the support of the Taggart-McCulloeh delegates. Many of them felt, according to stories, that the Kern candidacy was started by the Crittenberger adherents in order to injure Dr. McCulloch’s chances for the gubernatorial nomination by the argument that Marion Countv had too many candidates in the field for State offices. Klan Delegates Meet Klan delegates held £ long meeting at Buschman’s Hall, College Ave. and Eleventh St., Wednesday night. It was said about 150 dele-

gates were present. Klan leaders insist they are assured of about 500 delegates in the convention, while the opposition places the number at slightly more than 300. R. S. McNay of Brazil was in charge of the meeting. He insisted afterward that no slate will be put in the field by the Klan and branded slates in circulation Wednesday night and bearing the Klan name as false slates Issued to injure certain candidates. ILLEGAL JS REPORT OH t LEASES (Continued FYom Page 1) suffering from drainage by adjacent properties. A requirement that hereafter leases should be passed upon by the comptroller general. Corrupt Charges A charge that the leases are “corrupt” without mentioning names of those against whom corruption is charged but aiming it clearly at the dozen principals in connection with the lease. An attack upon Fall for using the Marines to chase off from Teapot Dome certain squatters who were contesting Sinclair’s rights. Walsh calls this "an outrageous and unjustified use of the armed forces of the United States,” and declares a civil suit should have been instituted to chase off the squatters. Denial that the leases could be justified on the ground that there was heavy drainage that was diminishing the supply of ' oil in the ground. Denunciation of Sinclair for having paid millions of dollars to "irresponsible” claimants "with more or less shadowy claims.” Most of the thirty-six printed pages of the report deals strictly with the testimony developed from a legal standpoint. It refrains from passing judgment in most instances and merely sets forth the facts withouLlnterpreting them. “A disposition is evidenced in some quarters to dismiss or overlook the very suggestive circumstances shown in the hearings indicating corruption in connection with the Sinclair and Doheny leases, the flagrant disregard of law and the unwarranted assumption of authority that attended their execution, the abandonment. of the settled policy of the Government evidenced by them, to inquire as to w'hether they are or are not excellent bargains from the standpoint of the Government. “These efforts invariably arriving at or pointing to the conclusion that they are such, are obviously designed to divert attention from or to overcome the effects upon the public mind of the features of the transactions. Fabulous Rum "Not only was the Teapot Dome lease awarded to Sinclair without competition, but he paid a fabulous sum to procure the elimination of a potential rival. “One seeking a fair contract from the Government does not buy off his competitors; neither does he when ho secures it ordinarily submit to blackmail in connection with it; nor does he, while negotiations are pending, accommodate the awarding officer with loans." This reference is believed to he in connection with testimony that Sinclair paid J. Leo Stack and F. G. Bonflls of Denver a million dollars for an alleged claim which Walsh states was worthless. In this connection Walsh also points with significance to the fact that Bonflls is editor of a Denver newspaper which attacked the leases at first, but when Sinclair promised to pay the money "the attacks of the newspaper thereupon ceased.” "The proprietor of a rival newspaper upon a claim even more shadowy, if indeed it can be called a claim at all, got $92,500 out of the Pioneer Oil Company as his share of the monies yielded up by Sinclair,’’ Walsh continues. The publisher referred to by Walsh Is John C. Shaffer, publisher of the Rocky Mountain News and the Indianapolis Star. The special grand jury investigating criminal phases of Teapot Dome case today excused Shaffer from further testimony. Walsh based his main attack against the leases on the ground that the executive order issued by President Harding transferring Jurisdiction of the naval reserves from the Navy Department to Fall in the Interior Department was Illegal. Referring to Denby, Walsh said the former Navy Secretary had sanctioned the leases because he had been told the reserves were being drained. "He was unable to recall who told him so,” Walsh said, “but he assumed full responsibility for the policy.’’ In connection with the Teapot Dome lease to Sinclair, Walsh said: "The negotiations leading to the

INDICTMENT OF SLAW IS DOE ((.Vmtmuod From Page 1) the damaging case against the youths. Harrow Plans Defense Clarence Darrow, who heads the defense, has pointed out that Leopold and Loeb signed only stenographic notes of their confession to the murder and that no transcripts were made. Efforts will be made to bar testimony of all who heard the incriminating statements made by the two youths, he said. In case the confession and the witnesses who heard it are stricken out of the court, Darrow said, the State will not have a shred of positive evidence to offer in the murder case. All the evidence to date is circumstantial, he pointed out, a3 there is no one who saw the murder. Crowe declared his intention of speeding up the trial as rapidly as possible. Should indictments be voted this afternoon, they will be returned in Criminal Court before Chief Justice John R. Caverly early Friday, Crowe said. Trial July 15 Leopold and Loeb will then be arraigned on Monday, at which time j Crowe will ask that the date for the trial be set on July 15 —the earliest i date possible under Illinois Jaw. Darrow, meanwhile, is expected to ! attempt to delay the trial. The dis- | tinguished attorney and orator who 1 will head the $15,090,000 defense beI lieves a fair trial cannot be obtained until public opinion and "mob hysteria” have been cooled. Darrow today was lining up many of the Nation’s leading criminal lawyers as possible aids for the defense. An initial defense fund of $1,000,000 h;is been placed in Darrow’s care. He is to use it in obtaining the best possible legal talent. Among the attorneys said to be considered by Darrow are. Samuel Untermeyer, Max D. Steuer and William T. Jerome, New York: and Charles E. Erbstein, W. W. O'Brien, Patrick H. O'Donnell, Ben Short, Michael Ahern, William Scott Stewart and J. Hamilton Lewis, Chicago. Their combined fees, if all are engaged. probably will run into several millions of dollars. Darrow, it is understood, has received a temporary retaining fee of $25,000. Advanced New Theory A startling theory of the murder of young Franks was advanced by a State's witness before the grand jury, it became knowi,. This witness, it was said, told of hearing Leopold confess that he murdered Franks because he knew that under th.e Illinois law tha penalty for kidnaping for ransom was death and so he was taking no additional risk in murdering the boy victim. State’s Attorney Crowe said he would ask the next; session of the Illinois legislature to mortify the statutes so that kidnaping for ransom will not he punishable by death. He believes that under existing law a kidnaper has no inducement to return a child alive. lease were conducted In secret. There was no competition. No explanation whatever is found in the record for pursuing the course that was followed.” Outlining the evidence that Doheny sent Fall SIOO,OOO In cash in a black satchel, by his son and the admission that Sinclair, through his counsel, J. W. Zev©y, gave Fall $25,000, Walsh said: “Your committee ventures no opinion , as to whether the transaction, was in fact a loan or whether it might more appropriately be otherwise denominated. Though the committee refrains from characterizing tho transaction, it does not hesitate to condemn it as in the last degree reprehensible on the part of all concerned in it. The essentially corrupt character of a loan made under such circumstances requires no comment. "It would he impossible for an officer to accept a loan of such an amount, or perhaps any amount under the circumstances, without a sense of obligation to the lender." Cites Campaign Gifts Walsh also mentioned the SIO,OOO contributed by Sinclair to the Republican campaign fund and the subsequent addition of $75,000 to help make up the party deficit. He also pointed to the contribution of Doheny to both party funds Walsh admitted in the report that failed to establish that there was a conspiracy of oil operators at the Republican convention to select a “complacent” Secretary of the Interior. In concluding, Walsh stated the committee may later attempt to get additional evidence when the courts have determined when Sinclair, Fall and others will be required to testify.

STATE PLATFORM INCLUDES PLANK BACKINGRALSTON Democratic Resolutions Committee Battles Over Stand on Klan, A boost for Senator Samuel M. Ralston for nomination for the presidency and a decided stand against any interference with civil and religious liberty are the high points of the Democratic State platform, as adopted by the resolutions committee early today and ratified by the State convention. The committee * deliberated for eight hours, with ballot after ballot on the Ku-Klux Klan plank taking up the major portion of the time. With a vote of three “noes” and ten “ayes,” the committee adopted the platform and adjourned at 5:30 a. m., to reconvene at 11 a. m. today. It is undrestood the negative votes came from L. M. Savage, Rockport, committeeman from the First District; John Paris, New Albany, Third District, and Reno N. Isherwood, Lafayette, Tenth District. These three held out for a more decided stand against the Klan, it is said. Request Repeted The platform is headed by a glowing eulogy of Woodrow Wilson and the party record during his administration. The Ralston plank, yielding to the request of Senator Ralston, refrains from instructing the Indiana delegates for Ralston for President, but assures the Senator the people of Indiana would welcome his selection as the presidential nominee at the National convention. Ralston is highly praised for his record as Governor, and for his "fearless sincerity of purpose and unswerving determination.” Record of the Republican administrations of Goodrich and McCray are set out showing $3,755,000 balance turned into the treasury when Ralston left office has been turned into a debt of more than $6,000,000. Repeal of the Goodrich tax law is pledged and restoration of home rule | and re-enactment of the Democratic tax law. of 1891 urged. Republicans Scored The platform platik of 1922 on the publio service commission was i adopted, declaring success or failure | of the law depends upon its adminisi tration. | Record of the Republican national i administration was set out as ! marked by profiteering, graft, scandal and corruption. Other planks covered are amendment of absent voters law, handling of State funds only through State auditor end treasurer, condemnation ; of appropriation' Os $20,900,000 by Legislature of 1923, condemnation of "extravagance” in construction of Pendleton reformatory, limitation of ■ power of State board of health in : arbitrary condemnation of school- | houses, enactment of a farmers i standard cooperative marketing law, revision of the workmen’s compensation law as urged by the State Federation of Labor, conservation of natural resources, thorough investi- | gation of school textbook law, oppo- | sition to county unit system of public schools, and repeal of State teachers license law.
