B.—Monday’s sharp reaction in the industrial list on the stock market was looked on in banking circles as a salutary check at a time when prices were threatening to get out of hand. Indications were noticeable in early dealings today of considerably improved "echnical position as a result of the set-back. Some further selling had to be absorbed in various leaders of the advance, but offerings were taken care of without difficulty and fractional recoveries were scored by Steel, (hich rallied to 120%, and General otors, to 65%.\ New York Central continued to stand out in the railroad group, rebounding to its best levels since 1910 at 122%.

Wheat wrote a surprisingly prosperous story on American soil during 1924. The low prices which had been enforced by extremely heavy world production during were lifted by the early part of June, 1924, and continued to rise through the year, according to the Sears-Roebuck Agricultural Foundation’s report. Small profits for had produced the expected result in reduced acreage and in stimulated consumption of surplus grain. On June 30, 1924, the Untied States Government estimates placed the wheat crop at 693,000,00 bushels, as against the 786,000,000-bushel crop of the preceding year. The crop estimate implied that the export surplus would be very small, and the immediate consequence of the Government" report was an upward market. esti-

mates placed the crop at a much highCT yield, the year’s total being 836,000,000 bushels. Market prices, however, have kept a continuously higher level. This rise in prices, however, is due not to the Increase in the size of the American crop, but to the decrease in the foreign wheat crop estimate, all wheat-producing countries except the United States having suffered serious reverses. Canada harvested 200,000,000 bushels less than last year’s crop, while Argentina is reaping 56,000,000 bushels less than in 1923. The European crop totaled less than 166.000,000 bushels of the 1923 crop, not including the Russian yield, which w%B too poor to permit of any exports. Indications of the wheat market at present point to ..the imminent reduction of American wheat to a domestic basis only.

CITY OFFICIALS CITED BY JUDGE (Continued From Page 1) situation unparalleled in history of the city, with the council having two presidents claiming election. Beneath the surface was seen renewal of the political war between the Coffin-Dodson faction of Marion County Republicans __ supporting Claycombe, and the Jewett-Lemcke city faction supporting Thompson. On selection of president hinges appointment of committees, the most% important being the elections committee, having charge of redlstrlcting the city, and designating precinct voting places, <L marked .advantage to any political faction seeking to control the city. Separate Laws Cited Claycombe based his claim to election on a law declaring that the president’s term expires at noon on the flrrt Monday In January. With Councilmen Ira L. Bramblett and Theodore J. Bernd notified, and Claycombe and Wise certain to appear, an effort was made to arrest Willfam E. Clauer, fifth member, Monday noon and bring him to the special meeting. Clauer refused to come, but the meeting was held with a minority present. Claycombe was elected president, and Bramblett, president pro-tem. , The Thompson faction claims that if the office of the president was vacant at noon. Wise had no right to preside at 1:30 p. m. 'they also claim that a minority of the council can not elect a president and that Wise disregarded a rule of council procedure when he held a meeting without sending out written notice to all members. Law provides that even a telephone call will not do. ' Following- his election Monday night Thomplbn announced his committee appointments as follows: Finance —King, chairman; Bramblett. Buchanan. Ray and Clauer. Safety—Buchanan. chairman: Ray. King. Wise and .Bramblett. Public Worka—Ray, chairman. King. Clauer. Bernd and Claycombe. Health and Charity—Clauer. chairman; Buchanan. Ray.’ Bramblett and Wise. Parka—Bramblett, chairman: Claycombe. Bernd. Wise and King. Law and Judiciary—Claycombe, chairman; Wiae. King, Buchanan and Ray. Elections —King, chairman; Clauer. Ray. Bernd and Buchanan City Welfare—Bernd, chartman: Ray, Bramblett. Wise and Claycombe. Claycombe made his committees public Monday afternoon as follows: Finance—Bern, chairman; Bramblett, Wise. Clauer and Ray. Safety—Bramblett, chairman; Bernd. Wise Clauer and Thompson, Public Works —Wise, chairman; King, Bramblett. Bernd and Clauer. Health and Charities—Clauer. chairman; Bramblett. Bernd, Wise and King. \ Parks Ray, chairman; Bramblett Bernd. Wiae and Buchanan. Elections —Wise. chahm&n: Bernd, Bramblett. Buchanan and Clauer. v City Welfare—Thompson, chairman; Bernd, Bramblett. Wiae and Buchanan. Law and Judiciary—King, chairman: Berud. Bramblett. Wise and Ray. Honors Are Even

The hour of 7:30 found both Thompsgn and Clayeombe attempting to preside, Thompson in the chair, and Clayeombe sitting at his right in possession of the gavel. Police in uniform stoo& around the packed council chamber. Sheriff Hawkins with & corps of ten deputies mingled with thtf erbwd and guarded doorways. Ogden hurried about the chamber ready to take charge of maneuvers. With quiet partially restored, Thompson ordered a roll call. All councilmen were present except Walter W. Wise, who later appeared. Councilman Ray obtained the floor. “Inasmuch as there Is no president of the council now, Mr. Wise’s term expiring at noon, I move Ben Thompson be temporary chairman of this meeting,” said Ray. Councilman King seconded the motion. “You’re out of order," shouted Clayeombe, now standing beside Thompson at the chair. •“Call the roll,” shouted Ogden from the floflr. “Roll call,” repeated Thompson In an order to John Ambuhl, deputy city clerk. y Clayeombe Raps Fntllely The call started despite constant rapping of the gavel by Clayeombe. “Mr. Sheriff, I order you to read the restraining order to Mr. Ambuhl,” shouted Clayeombe. “He’s not Restrained in that order," retorted Ogden. “Mr. Ogden, you are not a member of the council and I’ll ask you to leave the floor,” said Clayeombe. l! He’s our legal advisor,” shouted King. “Sheriff, clear the floor,” Claycombe repeated. Roll call showed five votes in support of Ray’s motion, the other four councilmen refusing to vote. “Mr. Thompson is now duly elected chairman,” ruled Thompson. ..“You’re not,” replied Clayeombe. “I’m president.” "Mr. Chairman, I now nominate Thompson as president of the council,” said Ray. A chorus of seconds was heard. Thompson ordered" roll call. The chamber was in an uproar. \ “Sheriff, arrest Mr. Ambuhl, and

I’ll push contempt of court proceedings tomorrow,” shouted Claycombe. Hawkins stepped Jprward, but the roll call was completed, and Thompson was declared elected with five votes. Hawkins retired. "Now, remove we adjourn," said Ray. Councilman Clauer seconded the motion. Despite the fact that Claycombe objected, Thompson recognized the motion, and ended the meeting. The five majority members left their desks and started out. Meeting Declared Over t "Come on Ambuhl,” ordered Ogden, x’*the meeting is over.” Applause marked Ogden’s remark, the audience being composed chiefly from friends of the administration. Both Ambuhl and John W. Rhodehammel, city clerk, left their desk, as Claycombe tried to continue the meeting. "I’ll have you both arrested for contempt of court,” thundered Clay.combe. Both men resumed their seats, but again arose on advice of Ogden, and John E. Walker, superintendent of street cleaning. ' By this time, the lights In the council chamber were turned out. Police turned on their flashlights, as Claycombe demanded order. Blows Are Prevented After the majority had filed out and Claycombe had ordered the floor cleared, Deputy Sheriff Roiand Snider approached City Attorney Bosson/ and directed him to move. Bosson asked: "Where’s your papers and where’s your badge? You’ve got no authority up here.” "I have got authority,” said Snider, and pushed Bosson hack. Bosson struck at Snider. Police and spectators separated the men. v A big policeman remarked: “What do you mean picking on an old man like this? We’ve got older men than Bosson In %e city hall, if that’s what you’re looking for.” The encounter between Bosson and Snider followed. Claycombe then recognized a motion of Ira L. Bramblett to adjourn until Tuesday night at 7:30. Amid a great turmoil, the second section of the council filed out through the hallways. Sharp ora l , arguments among spectators and officers were nipped by lights being turned out on the entire floor.
