GRAIN FIRM ON VERGE OF REEF, BROKERS SAY Difficulties of Farmer Company Led to $35,000,000 Crash, Lawyers Aver. Bv Timet Special NEW YORK, July 4.—Financial difficulties of the $26,000,000 Grain 'Marketing- Company, farmer cooperative organization, led to the smash yesterday of Dean, Onativia & Cos., stock and grain brokers, attorneys for ths defunct firm declared today. The brokerage compang failed dramatically with liabilities estimated variously from $0,000,000 to $35,000,000 at Chicago yesterday after an all night session of the firm’s officers with their bankers. The crash was the immediate result, it was announced there, of the firm’s inabilitiy to call certain notes which its bankers demanded. “The difficulties arose,” counsel for the firm said, “from the fact that in the account of customers Dean, Onativia & Cc-s were carrying 45,000 shares of stock of a company which • was a subsidiary of the Grain Marketing Corporation of Chicago. This stock has been quoted and carried by the bank around SSO a share. "Under the requirement of the Illinois law it was necessary for 51 per cent of the stock of the Grain Marketing Corporation to be sold by July 1, because it was a cooperative association. It was said it would be necessary to unscramble the Grain Marketing Corporation and its subsidiaries. "A Chicago bank called the loan of Dean, Onativia & Cos., and it was impossible to meet their obligations. HENNESSEY IN SALEM Indianapolis Man Held on Charge of Murder.

IDLE CHILDREN BREED BANDITS Teach Boys and Girls to Work, Is Advice. “You have to keep boys and girls at work if you are to keep them out of mischief,” declared Mrs. Charles Cadwallader of Waterloo, la., in an address Friday before the School Garden Association of America at Shortridge High School. “Boys and girls today are growing up bandits. They lack industry. They have too much time to run about the streets. You must teach them to work and then play,” she asserted. Mrs. Cadwallader said the $7,000 Waterloo spent recently for a playground should have gone for a "work ground.” "Dots of chidren are stealing because they want money. Lots of them want work and can’t find anything to do. If they earn spending money themselves, they appreciate what it means. Money their parents give them does little good,’’ she said. Mrs. Cadwallader recommended gardening as a suitable means for a child’s earning his spending money in vacation times. Other speakers were Mrs. Bridget C. Peixotto, Queens, N. Y.; Kary C. Davis, Nashville, Tenn.; Miss Emily Yunker, Louisville, Ky., and L. Gertrude Boston, Mass. Van Evrie Kirkpatrick, New York, presided.

STILL FISHING GIVES PLEASURE TO MANY Blue Gills Responsible for Popularity of Real Lazy Sport —Bruce Lake Good Spot.

By William L. Toms While some persons experience the greatest of all thrills in pitting themselves against the vehement “strike” of a hungry bass, there are others who derive more honest enjoyment out of still fishing. There is something powerfully compelling in this laziest of all arts. Still fishing is experiencing a constant growth in popularity because of its wide appeal to the fishingfamily. Bluegilte in Lakes All honors for making still fishing what it is go to the bluegill, overgrown cousin of the sun fish. Bluegtlls like lakes. Their favorite abode is along the receding line of a submerged sandbar, where the water attains a depth of from ten to fifteen feet. Here they disport themselves, frequently turning their gunmetal sides to the sun’s rays and rendering themselves visible to the angler above. __ Crickets and earth worms constitute a definite part of the bluegill’s menu, and when these delicacies do not tempt him there is no use fishign. A long cane pole is a necessary part of the bluegill fisherman’s equipment, for this variety of fish has a particular aversion to making his meal In the shadow of a boat. The line, equal in length to that of the pole for convenience sake, should be equipped with a float, adjusted to the depth the blue gills are playing. Hooks should be small enough to be completely covered with an average-size cricket or an Inch of earth worm. It is well to try a number of spots before anchoring the boat, because sometimes the blue gill isn’t where one would naturally expect him to be. Fish Hooks Himself Hooking, or gaffing, the blue gill Is no trick at all. The fish does that all by himself, leaving nothi ing to the fisherman, but to maneuver the pole. A one-pound fish of this variety, and they do attain that size, will give a twentyfoot pole all the twists it can stand DBNCAN FUNERAL IS SET Former Detective Sergeant Win Be Buried Monday. Frank H. Duncan, 60, retired detective sergeant, who died Friday at his home, Blacherne Apts., will be buried in Crown Hill Cemetery Monday. Funeral services will be held at the Royster and Askin chapel at 2 p. m. Born at Greenfield, Ind., Mr. Duncan came to Indianapolis in 1864. He was a Mason and an Elk.

and furnish plenty of thrills for the angler. Bruce Lake, lying along the Ful-ton-Pulaskl County line, is probably the best blue gill lake in Indiana.

G. Wray, track elevation engineer, considers to be an unreasonable share of costs of the $1,400,000 Belt Railroad bridge over White River. “We’ll be In bad no matter how the question is decided,” Shank j said. “If the railroad company Is compelled to pay 50 per cent of the costs they'll probably delay track elevation and people of the south side will blame us; If we submit to their demands the taxpayers will complain.” A public hearing on the elevation project will ho held by the board of works July 15. Two months have elapsed since the Indianapolis Union Railway Company received the city's ultimatum that it must hear at least half of the burden of bridge construction. ' For three weeks members of the board of wocks have announced at meetings that settlement i* due "within a few days." SEWER REPAIR COSTLY City Seeks to Force Bridge Builders to Make Amends.

DEFENSE TEST NOT EXPECTED TO BE SUCCESS Nation’s Military Establishment Is on War Footing Today. Bv Timet Special WASHINGTON, July 4.—That the results of the nation's second defense test day. may be disappointing was admittea by military officials today. Accurate check on the number of one-day volunteers resembled to fill the skelton theoretical regiments, will not bo available for some time, but heads of of the machinery which arranged the test, expect that the number will be disappointing. The whole military establishment was on a war footing. Chief responsibility for success of the test devolves on nine corps area commanders. . Approximately 1,500,000 men turned out last September in the first test of the nation's preparedness, which was gratifying to naval nnd military authorities. This was 300,000 more than would be needed in the first four months of an actual war mobilization. Officials have every reason to believe, however, that the number which answered the muster call today will be far below the point established in the first test. Officials hope to establish, probably by law. a permanent system for testing muster , machinery, If the volunteer system | I BUS LINES APPROVED Commission Grants Tliirteen Certificates of Convenience.
