DIVIDED PRICE TREND IN HOG MART
GENERAL LIST STILL BUOYANT WITH OPENING American Sugar in Active Demand at New High of 68.75.
Average Stock Prices
Average price ol twenty Industrial stocks for Tuesday, July 31. was 130, up .32. Average price of twenty rails for Tuesday. July 21. was 99.28. up .09. Bv United Press NEW YORK, July 21.—Despite the irregularity which characterized the greater part of Monday’s session, industrial shares attained a further record high at 131 at the close, making the fifth successive session in which unprecedented levels have been attained. The ability of the market to absorb profit taking encouraged constructive sentiment and the general list maintained a generally buoyant tone in early dealings. American Sugar continued in active demand, at the new high ground for the year at 68%. Steel shares were stimulated by indications of rapid improvement in the trade given by Youngstown advices that steel operations in that district were at 70 per cent compared with 40 per cent a year ago. Professionals sold stock freely in the late morning in the belief that the general list has been deprived of considerable technical strength by uninterrupted advance in the last week. The selling was coincident wit hheavy profit-taking among the recent leaders and the combination resulted in sharp recessions in various sections of the list. However, the market found good support forthcoming on price recessions, particularly in the high priced industrials. Traders who like action bought General Electric on brokerage advices that the stock was scheduled for a sharp run up to 300. This buying brought the stock into anew high on the move at 292%.
Trade Reviews Say
NEW YORK, July 21.—Competition among finance companies for the purchase of retail automobile paper has become as keen as that among manufacturers and dealers for the sale of cars, according to the Motor Weekly Survey of trade conditions. The result has been the granting of one concession after another, with a gradually increasing laxity in credit terms, In order to get business. The major part of the automobile time sale business, which reaches a volume of more than $2,000,000,000 a year, is now done on a non-recourse basis, which means that the dealer assumes no responsibility for the payment of notes given by his customers. When cars are sold for one-third cash and the balance in twelve equal monthly Installments, experience has shown, the number of buyers who fall to complete their payments is negligible, but a considerable percentage of sales now are being made on a more liberal basis. With the tacit consent of certain finance companies, which agree to buy any paper offered by a dealer, deliveries of new cars are made with the down payment of a few dollars and an almost indefinite period to pay the balance. Such terms are obviously unsound, but the most serious factor from the viewpoint of the trade is the effect they will have on the re-sale value of used cars. j If it is possible to buy anew car with a down payment as small as that required for the purchase of a suit of clothes, prospects who are buying their first automobile are likely to spurn a used caf. If the outlet for used cars is clogged, dealers will have to circumscribe their operations and it will be necessary to curtail factory -production.

By Thomson & McKinnon The slight increase in the demand for refined has not bee nsufficiently large to bring refiners back into the raw market. Arbuckle's advance to a 5.40 c bash will likely prove the forerunner of a * ncral advance.

TRAFFIC LIGHTS , WILL CONTINUE No Money, but Stop and Go Signals Will Go On.
Stop and go signals wili wink their messages to motorists despite the fact there is no money to pay for current consumed, it was decided by the board of safety today. With $8.68 in the budget, July bills to meet and part of June's total to pay and the ordinance ot appropriate $5,000 to pay bills being held up by rebelling council members; the board decided to take chances on a change of heart by the council. Signals in the center of the street will flash all night. The board also will search for a generous and easy-payment oil company, where it may obtain credit for gasoline consumed by the police department. Because of one vote against an ordinance to transfer $2,500 from the oil to the gasoline fund of the board, that measure failed to pass city council Monday night.

DEFENSE OPENS DRIVE TO FREE ‘POISON WIDOW’ Will Contend Children Died Naturally—To Attack Confession. Bv United Press CROWN POINT. Ind., July 21. The defense today started presentation of evidence in the trial of Mrs. Anna Cunningham, charged with murdering her son, Walter, with poison. The State rested Monday after introduction of the confession of Mrs. Cunningham that she poisoned Walter and two other of hag children. The State scored a distinct victory when Judge Smith ruled the confession might be introduced and followed up the advantage quickly with testimony of two witnesses as to circumstances under which the confession was made.
The testimony was intended to prove Mrs. Cunningham made the confession of her own free will and that she was in a normal mental condition. The defense will attempt to prove Mrr. Cunningham was not mentally responsible. Every detail of the confession was repudiated by Mrs. Cunningham last week. Spending an hour and a half in his opening statement for the defense. Frank Gavlt, Gary attorney, made an impassioned plea for acquittal of the fastaging “poison widow" of Gary. Gavit said the defense would show that the quantity of poison found by Chicago chemists in Walter's body was not sufficient "to kill a canary.’’ ' The defense, he said, will prove that each of the Cunningham children died from natural causes. SCOPES GUILTY, JURY DECIDES (Continued From Page 1) tions from the judge, for teaching that man descended from a lower order of animals. “We do not see how you can return a verdict of not guilty.” In requesting that the Judge instruct the Jury to find his client guilty Harrow told the Judgn there was no use wasting time if the defense evidence was to be kept out out of the record. “We claim,” he said, “that the defendant is not guilty of violating the law, but as the court has excluded all testimony except that Scopes taught that man descended from a lower ’animal, which I cannot contradict, there is nothing left for us to do except to ask your honor to instruct the Jury to return a verdict of guilty." Scopes (Viatless The crowded courtroom sat breathless a* the last tense moments of the trial unfolded before them. The extraordinary trial ended as It began—with a prayer. Scopes appeared before the bar without a coat, sleeves rolled up. Darrow wore his suspqilders openly as usual. William Jennings Bryan, war lord of the prosecution, flushed with victory, sat silent and welelded his palm fan. Then the Important figures In the trial made speeches. Judge McKenzie, of the prosecution staff, led off. “We have learned to take a broader view of life since you came here." he said indicating the defense attorneys. "We appreciate your views While much has been said about nar-row-mindedness, wo respect your attitude and think we have benefited."
Bryan Speaks He was followed by Bryan, who said Dayton was the center of the trial largely by circumstances. "We are told that more about this case has been cabled abroad than any otljer Incident In America," he said. "It Is not because a school teacher was In danger of a fine that this case has stirred the world. It Is because It goes deeper, because It goes wider and because It goes far---ther than man can see. "Here has been fought out a case of little consequence as a case, because a great issue is involved. "Some day this Issue is going to be settled right on our side or on the other side. "People cannot weigh a case unless they can discuss It. “Some of us magnify our Importance, but the world little cares for Individuals. Darrow Has Say “We can in this case congratulate ourselves that we have been attached to a mighty issue. I might seek to define this issue but I might be controverted. "Nothing that we would say about the Issue would determine It. We do not have this power; the court does not have the power. The people will determine this Issue. “This case will stimulate investigation and the decision will be rendered according to the facts. "Let’s not only desire but pray that right will prevail.” Darrow asked to say a word. "I want to say first of all that I appreciate the courtesy of counsel on the other side —at least the Tennessee counsel. "I think this case will he rememberd because It Is the first case since America became a free people where such an Issue has arisen. "We have done our best to turn back the tide that has sought to force Itself on the modern world—of testing every’ fact of science by religious dogma." The audience applauded Darrow enthusiastically. Raulston made a final etatement, which was regarded as a tribute to the defense principals. "A great man is one who has a pawdon for the truth and who follows It against all opposition,” he said. “A man who has passion for truth does not necessarily need courage. But It does take courage to oppose public sentiment. Adjourn With Prayers “There are 'wo things In the wortij that are Indestructible. One 1s the truth aml xiie-other-te- the word, of
Women Seek Office#

These two Chicago women are after public office. Mrs. Johanna Gregg a member of the hoard of education, will run for mayor, and Mrs. Medlll McCormick, widow of the late Senator nnd daughter of Mark Hanna, plans to run for Congress.
Ood. I pray to God I’ve decided the difficult problems before me right. If I failed, it was due to lack of legal attainments —knowledge of law—and not due to lack of heart. lam glad you all came." Then as the noon whistles blew at the factory across the railroad tracks, Dr Jones of Dayton, pronounced a benediction, and the court adjourned sine die. Three Climaxes Touched Yesterday's session was probably one of the most dramatic and grotesque) that a legal proceeding ever experienced. It opened with the citntlon of Clarence Harrow for contempt of court, sv. ept through the reading ts 68,00 t words of scientific alTidi vits on the subject of evolution, then In rapid si c -ession, touched three cllrhaxes ;the apology and absolution of Harrow from the contempt charge, the abandonment of the courtroom nnd Anally a mighty contest between Brynn and Darrow. It was brought to an end- In the midst of a tumult only by the peremptory thump of Judge Raulston’s gavel which ndjourned proceedings while Bryan nnd Darrow were at the height of a atormy clash. Bryan repeatedly reiterated his literal belief in every line of the Bible, under questioning by Darrow, “Ask Me Anything” "I'm trying to protect the Word of Ood against the greatest agnostic In the world," Bryan shouted once when Attorney General Stewart attempted to stop Darrow's "Insulting questions" to the witness. "Let him ask me anything. *T want the world to know that agnosticism Is trying to force agnosticism on the schools of Tennessee. The purpose is to ridicule everybody who believes in religion." Bryan rose up and faced the great audience out under the trees as if appealing to them for support. They threw back a deafening burst of applause which rolled up on the platform.
“Cheer* From Bleachers” "Cheer* from the bleachers," observed Darrow. scanning the great throng with a cold calculating eye. "Yes, from those you call yokeln and Ignorant bigots,” Bryan retorted, glaring at Darrow. "They're applauding you,” Darrow fired hack, "You, who Insult every man of sclenco in the world who doesn't agree with your fool religion. BRYAN FALLS IN TRAP Fear la'ails Him to Witness Stand; Darrow Satisfied. By N. D. Cochran Time* Staff Corremondent DAYTON, Tenn., July 21. —Fear led William Jennings Bryan Into the trap Clarence Darrow had set for him Monday and Bryan wouldn't let Attorney General Stewart help him out of It. It was fear that he might be thought cowardly If he didn’t willingly tnke tho witness stand when invited to by tho defense. He voiced his fear when he said he didn't want anybody to think he was afraid to defend his religion and his God. So Bryan himself overruled Stewart's objections to the procedure. Darrow in this way accompllshid one of his main purposes in com In i to Dayton, which was to get Bryan on the witness stand and prove by his own te*tim<’ny that he studied none of tho scle.iowg and knew little about the raMff'ons of the world other than his own.
Second Purpose Legnl One Another purpose was legal. The defense had been prevented from putting any of Its own scientific witnesses on the stand to prove what the fact of evolution Is nnd had been barred from hnving witnesses testify as Bible experts that there Is no conflict between the Biblical story of divine creation and evolution. So Bryan was put on the stand nd qualified as a student of the Bible. By him it was proved that Christian ministers were ready to testify, that the Bible is not to be Interpreted literally. While Bryan stuck to literal interpretation as to the story of Jonah and the whale, and the temptation of Eve by the serpent, as well as the creation of Eve from one of Adam's ribs, he got away from literal Interpretation when he* said he believed that the story of creation didn't mean six days of twenty-four hours each, but that days meant periods. He got back to literalism when he said he believed that all present life in the world started after Noah's floood and that all languages started with the confusion of tongues when the Tower ot B&belewa* built.
