In the w’ake of Mack’s advance to record levels enormous activity at using prices developed in General Motors, Studebaker, Maxwell “B,” White and the Pierce Arrow Issues. Wabash shares were the outstanding feature of the rails, due to the expectation that the road will be taken over by the Delaware and Hudson on a guaranteed dividend basis. Public Utilities were inspired by Utah Securities impressive example and the whole market maintained a buoyant tone which was not greatly impaired by the profit taking which cropped out in the late afternoon.

GRAINS RECOVER FROM NOON DIP Prices Stage Late Rally— Wheat Heaviest Sufferer. Bu United Press CHICAGO, May 19.—Grain futures had a sensational recovery from a nud-day slump and closed generally higher. May wheat, the heaviest sufferer of the day with a 6%, drop, came within 2% emts of equalling the opening. Substantial expo:. 1 , sales elevated spot wheat from the drastic mid-day slump. Commission houses and the local bulls who sold on the way down absorbed late offerings. Demand, however, was not enthusiastic enough to recover the day’s entire loss. Futures, the least affected, easily responded to bullish crop news from mid-west sections of the growing belt. Corn reflected fully wheat’s strength. Leading houses who sold earlier to remove hedges were encouraged to re-enter the pit on the strength of bullish Argentine cables. Reported sales of 200,000 bushels for export brought buyers into the oats market. Provisions rallied late with hogs and grains. Trading at the start of- today's session was of a mixed nature. Wheat met a fair class of buying by commission houses and shorts. The former was buying in the spot market on the basis of improved cash business. Corn opened dull, May was firm while new crop deliveries were distinctly irregular. Oats were practically unchanged. Chicago Grain Table —May 19— WHEAT— Prev. Open. High. Low. Close. close.

CROre BADLY IK NEED OF RAIN Oats, Wheat and Hay Suffering From Drought. According to a report from the United States Department of Agriculture and Purdue University agricultural experiment station rain is badly needed in the northern part of Indiana. Oats, wheat, hay and pasture are suffering heavily from the drouth. Frost also damaged oats slightly. Clover, fruit and tomatoes were slightly damaged in a few central counties, but the damages were not important enough in the main fruit sections to hurt. The tomatoes which were damaged were reset. Fair showers has lassened the immediate need for rain in the southern counties. Wheat in the southwest is heading. Oats are spotted and need rain more badly than any other crop. Corn is 80 per cent planted with the stand fair to good, btu cool weather has made conditions unfavorable. Cultivation has begun in a few places. Meadows and pastures are stunted by the cool, dry weather Timoothy, according to the report, is less advanced than clover. A few places in the south are cutting alfalfa. The farm work as a rule is well advanced and farmers are finishing corn planting and preparing for the minor crops.

SHEPHERD CASE WITNESS GONE (Continued From Page 1) the law you must look upon this man as innocent?” “Do you understand that the byrden is upon the State to prove this man guilty? “Do you realize that if you were sent out to deliberate now—without hearing any evidence—that It would be your duty to find this man innocent? “Do you believe that it is you* duty to enforce this law—to look upon this man as innocent—just as much as it is your duty to impose the death penalty if you find him guilty?” These are the questions tfhich Stewart asks. Shepherd then relaxes. His face softens. His hands cease their nervous twisting. Across the room his wife looks at him and tries to smile reassuringly. Hide and Seek On and on the questioning goes. One man is dismissed by the State because he doesn’t believe in capital punishment; another is excused by the defense because he admits he wouldn’t find Shepherd innocent until he heard the evidence; a third is passed up by both sides because he has an opinion one way or the other. Meanwhile, about the crowded courtroom a game of hide-and-seek is in progress. By terms of anew ruling no photographs are allowed to be taken In a Chicago courtroom. Bailiffs are posted at places ,pf vantage to see that the rule is enforced. But there are a dozen photographers in the room—most of them representing newspapers. Under their hats, inside pockets, under coats that they carry on their arms, tiny vest pocket cameras pop Into view for an Instant. There is a click; the camera ducks to cover, and bailiffs look In vain. Scores of pictures are taken of the principal characters every hour. BOOZE UNDER HENS Bu Times Special COLUMBUS. Ind., May 19.

BUILDING SURVEY GOOD Largest in History of Country, With Exception of March, 1924. Indications are in evidence of a strong upward trend in building activities throughout the United States during the coming summer, according to a report from S. W. Straus & Cos. At no time since March, 1924, has there been such a large. volume of building operations in immediate prospect, based on the official reports of plans Hied and permits issued in the leading cities and towns of the country. In 365 cities and towns reporting to S. W. Straus & Cos. for the month of April, there was a gain of 32 per cent, as compared with April, 1924. Although there ’Was a loss during the first quarter of this year in these same cities, the April figures were of sufficient magnitude to develop a gain for the four months' period. With the exception of March, 1924, April reports -jv ere the largest for any single month in the history of the country.

OPPOSES BUS CM CONFLICT (Continued From Page 1) tend bus lines In territory now served by the bus company was another recommendation of Mayor Shank. Petition of the street’car company would establish lines in competition with those now operated by the People’s Company. Mayor Shank’s letter follows: "The citizens of Indianapolis are not interested in the fight between the bus lines and street railway company, but they are interested in cheaper fares and good service. "I do not believe that a street car company and bus lines can both live where there is direct competition. It would be a great hardship if we should lose our street railway system. Indianapolis could not do without street car service. Fares Raised “During this administration a committee and myself recommended and you granted an increased fare to the Indianapolis Railway Company to keep it out of the hands ,of a receiver. That increase was to be and has been used toward any improvements of tracks, new street cars and other improvements. Our street fare here is as cheap as in any other city in the United States and the service very good. The city council passed the present jitney ordinance to prevent competition upon streets on which there were street car lines. • “In considering the granting of certificates of convenience and necessity I suggest that in territory adjacent to streets upon which there is a street car line and open territory where extensions are to be made in the future it would be to the best interest of \he city to give the street car company the preference. I believe that the Indianapolis Street Railway Company agrees to carry a passenger on its proposed bus line to the street railw’ay line, issue a transfer from its cars to a bus and permit the passenger to ride on his or her destination for seven cents, or four tickets for tw’enty-five cents, and two cents transfer, being the same fare that they are now permitted to charge. I do not believe that any bus line should be given a certificate over these routes and certainly not unless they agree to the same conditions that the Street Car Company proposes to operate under. This is the policy adopted by the present city administration. It seems fair and has been productive of good results. Wants Reduction “I want to see the present fare reduced at the earliest possible moment. This can be done if the busses and Street Car Company are permitted to divide the reienue. Under these conditions the Street Car Company could not exist. It seems to me that the question is not whether both petitions can get certificates to operate and make money, but the real questiolt is whether it is best in the long run for the people who ride, if you

Vhe Prest-O-Lite KPCB Bus Bat* tery Has 10 Points of Superiority Which Insure Long Full-Capacity Service at Minimum Up-Keep Expense 1 Jar* —Bridges one inch higher A than usual Starting and Lighting Battery. Extra height provide* additional volume of electrolyte, also additional sediment space below plate so that no cleaning out of accumulated sediment is necessary during life of battery. 2 Plates—Unusually thick positive * and negative plates insure longer life, proportioned to efficiently handle bus lighting loads and to deliver high amperage required by starting motor. 3 Rubber Veneer Protectors—A sheet of correctly proportioned perforated rubber veneer protects each side of the positive plate surface and reduces to a minimum normal shedding characteristics, thus materially increasing positive plate life. 4 Separators —Sawn Vertical Grain Port Orford White Cedar of unusually high porosity. C Rubber Cover— The hard rubber ** cover is of extra fir.e quality, so designed that it may be removed by simply loosening and removing the threaded nuts which screw on the plate posts. 6 Screw Post Construction—Simple, positive and practically acidproof. Soft rubber gasket is placed between bottom of cover and boss in the plate strap post and compressed by nut wnich screws down over the plate strap post. Cover and plates easily removed. 7 Cell Connector* —Of special noncorrosive alloy and of ample cross section to carry high amperage without heating jars. Q Special Sealing Compound—Acid- ° proof \seal between top of jars and covers is obtained oy special sealing compound that will not harden and crack in cold weather. 9 Oak Case —Of selected first-gtade wood, lock cornered and doweled and rendered acid-proof by several coats of acid-resistant paint. | A Heavy Handles— Of malleable iron, with hold down lugs, lead coated and painted with acidproof paint.

pany and deprive the Street Railway Company out of the favor to which it is justly entitled we will never get a reduction in fares and those who can not afford an automobile may, in time, have to walk. “If the street car company, has to spend thousands of dollars every year for repair of tracks where a bus 'line has to pay nothing, can afford to carry passengers on bus lines and street car for seven cents the bus lines can surely do the same.” “If I can give you any further Information and assist your board in any way that will give us better and cheaper transportation I gladly offer my services to you. “P. S.: I do not believe that the street car company should be given permission to run upon streets that are now being operated by some other bus line. Too many busses not only interfere with traffic but also would ruin bus lines already established.”

SEEK JURY TO TRY SHAW CASE (Continued From Page 1) cause you have no one else to lay it on to.” Holiday Air A holiday air prevailed around the courthouse. Throngs collected on the lawn to see Shaw marched to the court room with his guard of four Indianapolis detectives and Sheriff Omer Hawkins of Marion County. Women with babies came to court. Record crowds are expected when evidence is started. Judge Joseph H. Williams is hearing the case. William H. Remy, Marion County prosecutor, said he would demand the death penalty. He said he would leave the picking of the jury largely In the hands of Homer Elliott, former Federal district attorney, who has been appointed to assist Remy. Remy spent most of the morning conferring with witnesses. The scene is set for what Is expected to be a ten-day’s battle. It is Shaw’s second trial on the same charge. Leas than a month after the girl’s body was found on the Big Four Railroad tracks near an overhead wagon bridge west of Indianapolis, from which it had been hurled lifeless, Shaw was sentenced to death by a Criminal Court jury. Change of Venue The trial w’hich opens here today on change of venue from Marion County is the result of the Supreme Court reversal because Judge James A. Collins refused a change of venue at that time. Shaw will be kept In thd local jail, under constant guard of one of the four detectives, who will remain In Martinsville. , He has been in jail or prison since the Sunday night after the murder. His arrest came when the girl’s wrist watch was found in an Indiana Ave. pawn shop and traced to him. Witnesses Arrive Prosecutor Remy and nearly thirtyfive witnesses, many of them colored, also arrived for the trial.
