HEAVY HOGS TOP MARKET AT $12.35

FRBGHT TRAFFIC AT RECORD HIGH; STBCKSADVANCE Rail Equipment Issues Display Especially Strong Tone, Average Stock Prices Average price of twenty industrial stocks Wednesday was 122.15. Average price of twenty rails was 100.30. up .16. Bu United Preen NEW YORK, Fob. 26.—Stocks received an upward impulse in opening dealings today from carloading figures for the first six weeks of 1926 setting forth the largest volume of traffic ever handled in that period. Loadings were 6,379,237 cars, an increase of ’.40 per cent over the same weeks in 1924, in which time, traffic surpassed all previous records. This evidence of t high rate of activity in all lines , of business created a buoyant tone In the general lists. ‘ Unprecedented railroad traffic was interpreted to forecast heavy equipment orders and shares of the latte rclass dsplayed special strength. Ameri :an Locomotive soared to a record high of 136 and Baldwin at 144 was up four points from the previous session's low. Rediscount Rate Stands Speculative quarters had their customary weekly rumors regarding the possibility of an increase in the rediscount rate at this afternoon’s meeting. But in influential banking circles chances of the upward revision of the current 3 per cent dtarge before the middle of next month were considered extremely remote. Consequently the general list maintained its buoyant tone in the late morning and around noon. Dry Goods Rise Wild Associated Drygoods* rise developed into a runaway affair as the stock soared# nearly 20 points from the previous session’s low to 1924. Aggressive buying of motors which made its appearance in Wednesday's late dealings went ahead vigorously producing the broadest market in motor shares witnessed since the inceptii . of the current bull swing. Maxewelll "A” reached anew high at 85*4 and "B” at 45%, Packard at i9%, Willys Overland pfd. at 814 and Moon at 27, while several other leading issues were close to the previous session’s best levels. Local Bank Clearings bank clearing* Thursday were *3,201,000. Bank debits amounted to *7, 079,000.

SHEPHERDS DODGE QUESTIONS ASKED AT DEATH PROBE Foster Parents of McClintock Refuse to Testify Before Coroner. Bu United Prena CHICAGO. Feb. 2s.—Disappointed because Mr. and Mrs. William D. Shepherd, foster parents of the late William N. McClintock, refused to testify, Chief Justice Harry Olson announced today he has many more witnesses to call in the coroner's inquest Into death of the "millionaire orphan.” At the same time attorneys for Shepherd announced they had a few witnesses who have been upon to testify. "Cruclled” "We have been crucified by the publicity given testimony against the Shepherds,” Robsrt Stoll, Shepherd’s law partner, said. "We propose to call our witnesses in answer to the malignant charges made against the Shepherds-" Mrs. Shepherd, charged with obstructing the marriage of her millionaire ward to Miss Isabelle Pope, a society girl and former Northwestern University co-ed, flatly refused to answer any questions when she was called to the stand. Olson, who Initiated the probe into McCllntock’s death, scored what he considered a significant point Just before the close of Wednesday's session when Louts Sbarbaro, formerly proprietor of an oyster establishment, testified Shepherd had asked him many questions about oysters and the possibility ot persons being poisoned by sating them. “He was so inquisitive,” Sbarbaro testified, “that I asked him what he did for a living. Guardi aa "He told me he was getting $7,500 a year for being guardian of a young millionaire. "I told blm he was pretty lucky, and then he said: “That’s nothing. I'll have a barrel of money some of these days.'” Young MeClintock’s will, which ths foster father admitted drawing up. left the bulk of bis $2,000,090 to Shepherd.

Contention Floor Leader Cravens Says Fugitives Seek to Prevent Politics From Dominating in State Legislature,

Bu Timen Special DAYTON, Ohio, Feb. 26.—Democratic State Senators In the flight to Ohio are seeking to prevent Republican politics from dominating legislation, declared Senator Joseph M. Cravens, Democratic floor leader and leader of the fugitives today. Cravens* statement: "The Democratic members have done no more than It has been the Intention of the Republican majority In their effort to hurry through the business of the Senate that they might take snap Judgment and In a moment's notice adjourn before the time limit, not from any thought of ecoAsmy, but to gratify the desire of the Republican State chairman and make good his boast of a forty-five-day session, leaving every constructive and economical measure that tends to lessen the burden of taxation hanging on the legislative hook. -Tfane Wasted” ‘‘They seek to do this while they, in a luxurious Pullman palace car are speeding on their way to pleasure to attend the inauguration of ‘Silent Cal.’ The minority has not consumed any of the time of the Legislature up to the present, but hours and days have been wasted by the majority and the presiding officer of the Senate in the consideration of measures that were of no real benefit to the taxpayers of the State. “The action of the minority In refusing to go to the Senate to see the Democratic party trampled upon by the passage of a measure which la unfair, unjust and unlawful, was no hasty action, but taken after a thorough consideration of the wrongfulness of the majority’s selfish, greedy attitude. "Charges were made on the floor of the Senate Tuesday that I was floor leader of the Senate in a previous session had done the same thing as provided in Senate bill 300. The regular period for Congressional apportionment is in 1927 and there is no justification for the action to be taken at any other time. The instance referred to Tuesday occurred In 1911, a year when it was necessary by law to reapportion the State for Congressional purposes. There was no real necessity from a population standpoint at that time, but to comply with the law, I did draw a bill making but one change in the thirteen congressional districts. “This was to take Decatur County from the Sixth district and place It in my own, the Fourth district. This change equalized the vote In the Fourth district. Decatur County was Republican and It endangered the Democratic majority in the fourth. I ask for a comparison of Justice of that act and the Injustice of the Penrod bfl! which places Lawrence County with a Republican majority of 1.500 In the Becond district, which Is considerable more than the Democrats carried the second in 1911 and 1924. Ths Third district Is already Democratic by 4,000. This Penrod bill would give the Second a greater number of vote* than the average district and more than Is required by the Federal law. “Comfortably Located” "The minority Is now comfortably located In Dayton and see no Immediate necessity of returning to the legislative halls during the present week unless we have unqualified assurance that the overwhelming Republican majority will net carry out it* program with reference to this bill. “It will be well for the boastful majority In the Senate that is now proposing to play the baby act by appealing to the Marlon County grand Jury to stop and realize that no quorum has yet been broken by the minority.” Members of the cruising senatorial party are Senators Batt, Chambers, Cravens, Crosby, Davis, Durham, Easton, Harmon, King, Lochard, Lutz, Payne, Perkins, Saunders. Shirley, Senator Branaman Is 111 In Indianapolis and Senator Sweeney is ill at his home In Tell City. Senator Ernl was left in Indianapolis to watch proceedings. ‘FINE FUND’ STARTED Democratic Club Prakes Runaway of State Solons. Members of the Indiana Democratic Club, through lta president. Joel Baker, today sent a telegram to the fifteen Democratic Senators In Ohio commending them on their action in bolting from the Senate seeslone to prevent passage of the Penrod “gerrymander.” More than $1,200 has been pledged by prominent Democrats to pay the fines of the absent Senators in case they are Indicted and convicted under the statute fixing SI,OOO fine for wilfully absenting themselves from Senate sessions to obstruct legislation. % Under Senate rules, twenty-six members of the Senate may meet and assess fines against the Senators. Federation to Nominate Officers of Federation of Civic Clubs will be nominated Friday right at the Chamber of Commerce. Ed ward Q, Snethen, president, said. Committee report* will be heard.

YOUNG GIRL IS FREED Jury Is Convinced Sister Did Not Kill Brothers. Bu United Preen MILLEDGEVILLE, Ga., Fgb. 26. —The dramatic plea of “I am without sin,” uttered by 16-year-old Mary Clare Berry, convinced a jury she was guiltless and the girl Is free today. Charged with poisoning her two baby brothers, the schoolgirl personally appealed to the jury before It retired yesterday and her straightforward story left little doubt In the minds of the men. After deliberating eleven hours they held her not guilty. Mary broke down completely upon hearing the verdict, but is recovering today. GRAND IBRY QUIZ OF FLIGHT MADE (Continued From Page 1) lan conferred with Attorney General Arthur Gllllom at the Statehouse before the grand jury probe began. Remy said he wanted io be sure of his ground. He there would be no backing out if the grand Jury returned Indictments. No Question Assitant Attorney General Edward M. White today declared that there was no question but what the Democratic Senator in Ohio could be extradited under Federal statutes. Attorney General Arthur L. Qllliom conferred with Governor Ed Jackson today In regard to the possibilities of extraditing the Senators. White’s opinion Reflected Gilllom’s opinion to the Governor, it is understood. “Extradition concerns criminal cases,” White said. “These Senators have committed a criminal act in violating the law which provides penalty for Senators who wilfully absent themselves from any session of the Legislature. Whether or not the act is a felony Is irrelevant. "The grand jury can indict them. They will then be fugitives from justice and fully liable to extradition. “Os course it is discretionary with the Goernor of Ohio to honor the requisition. According to Senator Oliver C. Holmes, Gary, Governor Victor Donahey of Ohio consistently refuses to honor any sort of a requisition and, being a Democrat, could scarcely be expected to honor any extradition for the Indiana Senators sojourning In bis State. Compromise Possible Admitting that the situation Is serious, Senator Nejdl, Republican floor leader, said that it is possible the Penrod bill will be withdrawn if no other means will lure the wandering minority back to work. “Senator Erni, one of the Democrats, is in town, ready to go to work.” said Nejdl. “f am going to see if Senator Sweeney, Tell Cityy, who has been at home ill, won’t return. “That will make thirty-four, or a qquorum.” “If the Democrats had offered to arbitrate and talk things over there Is no telling but the bill would have been withdrawn,” said Nejdl. “No, they wouldn’t even appoint a committee. Delivered their ultimatum and beat It.” The appropriation bill, providing the $50,000,000 necessary to run the State this year, and the “bone dry’’ bill will not be passed If the strike keeps up. Hence the alarm. Also, numerous other measures, less important but equally dear to various legislators, are well on their way to the graveyard. The Senate did not turn a hand Wednesday, because the Democrats fled pell-mell at 9:45 a. m. when they heard the Penrod bill was “coming out.” Senator Cravens, Madison, minority leader, and Erni were present In the morning, and just before noon Cravens delivered his ultimatum, which was not well received. At 2 p. m. Wednesday the thirtytwo Republican Senators convened, after a caucus in which it was decided to take whatever steps were necessary to restore the quorum. Hearing of this move, the dauntless fifteen, Issued from their stronghold In the Claypool, from whence they had defied Chief Doorkeeper Jerome K. Brown In the morning, chartered a bus and set soil for Ohio. “We’re going where they have a Democratic Governor," was the message Senator Cravens sent back as he steered his crew through Greenfield. The full meaning of this "wise crack” did not seep through the heads of the majorltyy until about 5 p. m , when the talk of havingg the Democrats indicted and brought back on extradition papers began. “How are you going to extradite them when we have to apply to a Democrat?" asked Senator Penrod. “Dog take my cats, that does complicate things!” was the com-* ment of Senator Hodges. The Senate invoked its constitutional power after listening to a speech by Secretary of Labor Davis and passed a resolution empowering Doorkeeper Brown to find the minority and bring it in. This was about 3:30 p. m. At 4:45 Brown had not started out yet. He had learned in the meantime through the Times where the wanderers were. A Horse Thief Detective appeared. “I’ll bring ’em in, dead or alive,” he volunteered. His offer was not accepted. Brown finally searched the Claypool and returned. Nothing doing, he reported. Urged on by the bobtailed Senate, who joked him quite a bit, he returned to the fray, armed with a revolver and searched other hotels.. All in vain. Ready for Emergency Then he went t<J Dayton, still armed. Asked whether or not he would call a special session of Legislature in order to pass important bills In case the Demorcatic Senators do not return before the end of the session March 9, Governor Jackson said; “I do not know. I haven’t given any thought to It.” .Asked whether or not the delay might cause him to cancel his proposed trip to Washington for the
