STOCKS CLOSE IRREGULARLY LOWER

Few Brokers Attend —Steel Issues Under Bearish ™ Pressure, Bv United Frees NEW YORK, Jan. 24.—Today’s market was a peculiar affair due to the action of the stock exchange in shortening the session forty-five minutes to allow Wall Street more time to view the eclipse of the sun. This step cut /the trading period down to an hour and a quarter and numerous operators did not consider It worth while to come to business at all. Consequently fluctuations were mostly in the hands of a small group of professionals and confused price movements resulted. American Woolen was subjected to renewed attacks and experienced a further sharp decline. Steel was under bearish pressure due to the belief that some disappointment might he felt in speculative quarters if the directors failed to authorize an increase in the._so-cent extra dividend at next Tuesday's meeting. Relative heaviness in Steel exercised a restraining influence on bullish enthusiasm elsewhere in the list and the session ended with the general list in an Irregular condition. The market closed lower.

Heavy hogs and medium weights ruled unchanged at [email protected] and $10.90@11, respectively. Light hogs sold at $10.90 compared with $10.50, Friday. Light lights sold at [email protected]. sTop price was $.11.20 and the bulk of the 6,000 receipts brought $10.90 @ll.lO. Holdover was 220. Pigs were quoted at [email protected], up 25 @soc. Sows were unchanged at $10.25 down. Receipts of hogs showed a marked decrease over preceding weeks. Approximately 63,400 hogs were sold here compared with 74,400 the week before and nearly 81,000 two weeks ago. Despite this letup In the offering, packers are not supporting the market gnd are reluctant about paying higher prices. Quotations on the bulk of hogs, however, are 36@ 400 over the week’s opening while the top remains at $11.20. Cattle trade was Inactive on light receipts today. The market for the week has been cut by many cross currents. Steers have presented one' of the poorest markets seen at the local yards for some time. There has been too much short fed stuff In the offering and this coupled with a slump In the dressed beef trade of the East, has all but “wrecked” the market, dealers assert. Prices are 25@60c a hundred weight lower, heavier grades losing the most. No bettermerit may be expected, traders say, until receipts are lighter, the quality better, and the dressed beef trade Improves. Heavy heifers started the week In a slow fashion, but toward the end finished strong, at $5 @7.50. Choice baby beef type heifers were quoted at sß@9.

AIRSHIP USED BY NAVYSpSTS Astronomers Study Eclipse From Los Angeles. ABOARD THE U. fk DIRIGIBLE LQS ANGELES, EN ROUTE FROM NANTUCKET. Mass., Jan. 24—(By Wireless to United Press.)—Lifted a mile closer to the gun by the navy dirigible Los Angeles, the United States Navy observatory astron omers had a perfect view of the total eclipse. During the two minutes four and six-tenths seconds of totality not a cloud marred the spectacle. A battery of four astronomioa! cameras secured eighteen photographs and two motion picture cameras and a spectogfflph were In operation. The latter instrument recorded the spectrum lines of the helium gas which holds the Los Angeles aloft. Hydrogen, which helium superseded was also recorded, since both helium and hydrogen occur In the outer layers bf the sun, < Perhaps when the plates of today’s expedition are developed anew element or anew secret will be revealed to science. Just as years ago helium was discovered in the sun during a total solar eclipse, long before It was known on earth, scientists believe. *

“Spectator” a MONO the most interested "spectators” of the eclipse was George Hebble, 2828 Clifton St. He is blind. Hebble showed up In the fire tower on the Merchants Bank Bldg, bright and early, and brought along a couple of friends, Raymond Cory, 2125 Prospect St.,, and George Tyler, Colonial Hotel, through whose eyes he viewed proceedings. “It was sure flpe, and I enjoyed It very much,” he Iteid, as the moon finally cleared the edge of the sun. “It’s 1 a little smoky, though, for a good vieW, I take it,” he said, sniffing. Hebble is a friend of A. 8. Reese, the watchman on duty at the time of the eclipse, and often “views” the city from the fire tower He knows the location of every fire box in the city, according to Reese.

MOTHER S6/EKS CHILD Braves Publicity to Regain Baby Other WomJ2n Adopted. Bu United Press TIFFIN, Ohio, Jan. 24.—Mother love braved publicity today when Miss Frances Long, .22, Knoxville (Tenn.) heiress, started a court bat tie to- regain possession of her “love child,” born three years ago In a Cleveland .hospital. Mißs Long's counsel, through habeas corpus proceedings, attempted to take the child from Mrs. Pearl Hawk of Attica, hear here, who adopted the child, but did I not take out legal papers. MERCURY HELD BY MOUNTS TRICK (Continued From Page 1) and films. One north side woman, lh a moment of inspiration, seized an expensive Venetian vase and peered through It. Many persons took to the high ground outside the city, thus getting the double advantage, avoiding A large part of* the smoke and getting away from interference of buildlngß. Hundreds gathered on top of downtown buildings. It was not unusual sight to pee a whole ‘ family party parked In’ the family flivver along the hills north of Riverside Park following the course of the eclipse from beginning to end.' Spectacle Is Beautiful Officially the sun rose at 7 a. m. But In the city and immediate vicinity li was several; minutes later before Sol, blood red and with a small portion of the upper right hand corner already covered by the moon’s shoved his way through the smoke bank end became visible well above tlw horizon. Only a few clouds, "cirro-stratus," so thin and high as to really enhance the beauty of the spectacle, were in the sky. The shadow crept slowly across the face of the sun diagonally from the upper right hand corner to the lower loft hand corner. Probably the most beautiful part of the eclipse wauß when the sun was still so low in the sky that the spectator could look at It without glasses. At this period It resembled a gigantic brilliant hued apple out of which some giant child had taken a greedy bite. Maximum at 7:56 A. M. Later it became too bright to look at safely without colored glasses. All the time the 'shadow was creeping steadily across the sun’s face until it reached its maximum at 7:66 a. m. At this point a thin crescent, only 7 per cent of ihe sun's surface was visible at the bottom of the shadow. Immediately the shadow began to grow less and the crescent became steadily larger, also moving around on the right hand side of the sun until it reached the last phases of the old moon. Steadily It grew lighter, u(q gray twilight or cold, bright moonlight effect, almost uncanny in appearance, which was so noticeab'e when the eclipse was at Its height, giving way to‘the normal sunlight again. At 9:07 the moon’s shadow entirely disappeared' at the lower left hand corner of the sun, exactly opposite the point where It had entered more than two hours before. No Stars Visible Either because so much of the sun's surface' remained out of the shadow or because of the llgft clouds no stars were visible. It was believed before the eclipse that Mars and Venus might, possibly be seen southwest of the sun during the eclipse. , < Not since 1869 when thirty-five thirty-sixths of the sun’s surface was covered has there been an eclipse of this magnitude visible In Indianapolis. That year the eclipse was total In many parts of Indiana, south and weet of here^. There has been no total eclipse visible here since Columbus discovered America and none is scheduled for more than 200 years.

MILK WATCH ECLIPSE IN AWE s (Continued From Page 1) i 1 Terful and we had a perfectly clear image of the entire eclipse.” Success crowned the- efforts of other scientists in the East. Prof. Philip Fox, professor of astronomy at Northwestern University, reporWd tnat his observations at Evanston, 111., failed to show anything of an unusual nature. “The clouds completely disrupted our plana,” f*rof. Fox said. Standing out to sea, off Nantucket lightship, the Navy dirigible Los Angeles, at a height of 1,000 feet, furnished scientists with their easternmost observatory. A-top the giant airship photographs were taken and a record made of the progress of the moon across the face of the sun. > Thrill of life

So much for the scientists. In the path of the eclipse millions to whom It meant nothing In a scientific way, got a thrill of a lifetime as they wfttched the flaming phenomenon. Out in the farm countries, dogs howled dismally as darkness descended. Fowls went back to rooßt and horses and cattle In pastures showed terror. On Park Row and in City Park in lower Manhattan, hundreds of hardboiled news hustlers and huskies of all descriptions. ’Their manner was skeptical. Their bets changed as to whether the event would occur as scheduled. Suddenly, like the fall of a curtain, gloom swept down the canyons of lower Manhattan. At the same Instant the noises with which the hardboiled gentry had sought to hide their embarrassment at the heavenly miracle ceased. Scores of unshaven, weathern-beaten faces were turned up to the murky sky in awe and wonder. Then a murmur ran through the crowd, a low voice muttering, like people whispering in church. Suddenly one voice rang out over the rest —its accents almcfat indignant—somewhat aggrieved. “For the love of cripes, Jack—look jit them stars. Ahi’t that the blamest thing yuh ever saw in yer life?” . 7 • '; The parks and open spaces In Eastern cities wbre thronged with thousands gazing skyward, while roof tops, windows and ships at sea were other observation points for laymen. To these, through larkened glass, the sun when In eclipse, appeared like a flashing, inverted diamond in a slate colored sky. The streaming corona shot out from the edges of the moon’s black disk for a period of several minutes. Then what appeared to bq a ball of fire showed In the lower „ right corner of the eclipse and the sun gradually came into view again. Gradually day returned and groups of observers broke up, returning to work, snatching eagerly at “extras” run off the presses to confirm their impressions of the eclipse. Before the sun had completely reappeared airplanes came dropping down from the skies with first reports of the successful aerial photography. Thirty-five planes went up from alrdomes around Manhattan. Prqfeesor Emeritus “Davey” Todd who taught astronomy to President Coolldge at Amherst was at Mitchell Field. It was his eleventh eclipse. The noted astronomer, nearly 80, so forgot himself during the progress •* of the eclipse, that when-- It was over he discovered his face and hands were nearly frozen. Millions Watch #

Estimates showed that between ten million and twenty million Arsons were in the path of the total eclipse. There were millions of others in cities throughout the eastern part of the United States for whom the spectacle of a partial eclipse was available. In the zone of totality, however, which centered- in a curving path stretching between Duluth, Minn., and Montauk Point, N. Y., lights began to wink on as the darkness gathered. - In upper New York street lights came on and every member of the police force was held in reserve against possible emergencies. Special precautions were taken in many eastern cities against robbery and crimes of violence. Millions, warned that staring at the phenomenon would endanger the naked eye, had provided themselves with automobile goggles, oolored glasses, or bits of glass smoked and with the aid of these watched the sun’s light gradually dimmed. STATEMENTS REQUESTED Bus Companies Asked About Controversy With Ohio. A complete statement from Indiana bus companies of the controversy with the State of Ohio over arrests of Indiana bus drivers in Ohio has been requested by Secretary of State Frederick Schortemlier and Attorney Generi.l Arthur Giliiom, Governor Jackson announced today. Schortemeier and Giliiom conferred after a resolution waa presented hi the Indiana Senate by Senator, Rowland H. Hill, Carthage, calling upon the State of Indiana to retaliate against Olio.

HAHNS ACTS AS OWN ATTORNEY IN CINCINNATI CASE Outlines History of Family and Company in Fight s/ l \ Against Removal, Bv Times Snecial \ CINCINNATI, Jan. 24.—Morton S. Hawkins, president of the defunct Hawktfw Mortgage Company of Portland, Ind,, was his own attorney in habeas corpus and 'removal pro ceedings before Federal Judge Smith Hie ken 100 per here today. Hawkins Is fighting removal to Indianapolis for trial on a Federal Indictment charging he was the head of a $6,000,000 stoc(c fraud scheme through 'the mails. Fred S. Warner, Marlon, Ohio, Hawkin's attorney, did not appear. Hawkins asked postponement of the hearing until Tuesday. Hickenlooper refused and offered to name a lawyer for Hawkins. Hawkins refused this and conducted his own case. Taking the witness stand Hawkins detailed history of his family from, the time his grandfather settled At Portland and outlined Information of the Hawkins Company. He denied wrongdoing. . Indications were that themearlng would last until a late hour. Alexander Gavins, district attorney from Indiaanpolls, and Benson W. Hough, district attorney at Cincinnati, represented the Government. TWO STATE UNITS IN BUDGET SEEN?

(Continued From Page 1) ally sets out the tax Is collected to build roads. Qilliom said: “It has been intimated In conferences and through ‘curbstone* suggestions that the matter has been found legally clear.’* He did not deny the report that an oral opinion had been submit|gd to the budget committee. Highway commission officials say their opposition to the move would be in no sense belligerent, but they doubt Its practicability. "We object to throvdng highway funds into the generafwfund, but so far as we are able to determine the fund already is covered by the budget law,” an official said. Kettleborough’a View Charles Kett,leborough, director of the Legislative Reference Bureau, said all funds from which the highway department derived revenue could be turned into the State general fund with thp possible exception of the gasoline tax fund. The gasoline tax Is collected from the large companies by a' "gentleman’s agreement’ with the companies instead of from each Individual filling station as the statute reads, Kettleborough said. If the companies would refuse to pay this tax then It would be up to the State to collect from each filling station, entailing an expense of probably more than $50,000 annually. With a slight amendment to the gasollrte tax law to Include tax on gas used for stationary engines, dry Cleaning establishments, tractors and like machines, so the tax would not be discriminatory, the gas tax could go Into the general fund, the director said. Legislature Could Control "tinder the program proposed, the Legislature would Inspect and approve the building program of the highway commission for the next two years and appropriate so much money out of the general fund sor v construction, for maintenance, motor transport division and Overhead, and would decide on how many miles of construction and repair should be built under that program,” Kettleborough said. Fees from which thei conservation department derives revenue could probably all go into the fund for appropriation for that department, he said.
