Average price of twenty rails was 04.32, off 1.34. Bv United Preaa NEW YORK, March 25.—Appearance of aggressive support of General Electric In the last few minutes of yesterday’s trading demonstrated that Important banking Interests who had stood aside to allow the liquidation of socks to run Its course were again taking an active interest on. the constructive side. Further indications to this effect were supplied by the action of the whole market in the early dealings today. who had recklessly taken a short position in the previous session on encouragement of rumors of further bad breaks found themselves trapped in a number of stocks, particularly American Can, which was the Issue on which bearish operations converged yesterday afternoon. Can opened 171%, a recovery of points from Its low yesterday. Several rails which were unwarrantably depressed on the break also ‘/napped back in spirited fashion. Continued pressure on Union Pacific which was forced into new low ground at 136, unsettled the whole market in the noon dealings. Union Pacific’s decline was accompanied by widespread tips to sell the stock and by disquieting comparisons with St. Paul’s plight. These rumors took no tion of the fact that the latter road's credit difficulties were entirely due to its coast extension whereas Union Pacific has no such handicap passing the troublesome time resulting out of the lean years experienced by Western agricultural communities after the war.

BULLETIN Bu United Preaa CHICAGO. March 25.—Wheat rallied in the late dealings and at the close was higher than Tuesday. Cor nrecovered and was higher at the close of the trading. Other futures were up. Bv United Preaa CHICAGO March 25. Grain futures sold off sharply in opening trade on the Board of Trade today. Com was leader in the downturn. Lack of outside support and pronounced weakness in foreign markets were attributes in wheat’s opening weakness. General opinion here is that prices must reach a lower level before foreign buying can be expected. Liquidating sales were renewed in corn based on the extremely heavy cash situation. Relatively steady cash prices held oats prices in check after a fractional dip. Provisions weakened with hogs, grains and cables. Chicago Grain Table —March 25WHEAT— Prev. Open. Hljrh. Low.

DAY OF BLUE LAW STILL HERE

Bu United Press rrrjEW YORK, March 25. )iN I The day ctf the ‘'blue law" in America has not yet passed. Restrictive legislation dealing with subjects ranging from evolution to the speed with which a donkey may be driven past a cemetery on Sunday has held its own in the 1925 sessions of the State Legislatures. Reports gathered by the United Press frpm all parts of the country show that in approximately half of the Instances where “blue laws" were considered the advocates of restrictive legislation won by preventing repeal of existing laws, pacing new laws, or defeating measures designed to liberalize the statutes. ThA result Is that If your doctor gives you a liquor prescription in Texas it’s going .to be published for three days Ao all your friends can know that

Guard Doubled to Prevent Suicide ‘Jazz-Baby’ Breaks Down as Word "Murder’ Is Oft Repeated.

IAN FRANCISCO, March 25. —Fearing that Dorothy Ela_J lingson, 16-year-old matricide, may attempt suicide in a spell of hysterical passion, a double guard of police women was placed about her today. The once hardened lass whose mask of sophistication marked her as a girl without a heart, has crumbled under the steady drone of “murder, murder, murder” as the selection of a jury to decide her fate continues. “Dorothy is nearing a breakdown,” Jail Matron Gussie Kennedy said today. “She is a very nervous girl and there is no telling what she may do.” The ury is far from completed. Two women were in the box and the defense was expected to exercise Its challenges to remove one or both of them, in keeping with Dorothy’s desire to have a jury of "old men who can understand a woman of the world,” such as she considers herself to be. “That’s what I want—to be tried before men,” Dorothy reiterated. “Men will come nearer to understanding and will not be as prejudiced.” It was pointed out in almost every case where women were asked whether they would hold it more serious for Dorothy to have murdered her mother than to have murdered someone else, they have answered in the affirmative. Defense attorneys indicated today that Joseph Ellingson, the stolid Norwegian tailor, who Is Dorothy’s father, would be a leading witness for his daughter. It was not until several days after Mrs. Ellingson was killed that Ellingson would agree to aid Dorothy. “I’m ready to do anything for her.” Ellingson told the United Press. Dorothy has perpared carefully for her trial and is dressed in excellent taste. She wears a henna ensemble suit, which blends nicely with her red-brown hair, neatly marcelled. Yesterday she wore for the first time anew cloak with fur collar, Into which she could all but bury her head when she desired to escape a too piercing gaze. Want Rent Paid Ralph A.

But one man —just an ordinary sort of man, reasonably Ifandsorae—came along and swaye dher completely. In almost a twinkling he was leading Lillian into all sorts of things.

That Is the defense offered by Lillian’s attorneys to the suit of Charles H. Duell to restrain her from appearing In motion picture productions of other companies. Lillian’s attorney, Max D.

A law prohibiting such an unseemly burst of speed is among eightytwo measures the Ohio Legislature considers repealing.
