WALL STREET •DEVELOPS AN IRREGULARITY Brokers Believe Market Will Readjust Self in Few Days. Average £tock Prices Average price of twenty industrial stocks for Wednesday, was 151.60. off 6.83. Average price of twenty rails for Wednesday, was 103.23. off ,82c. Bu United Press , NEW YORK, Nov. 11.—Irregularity developed in trading on Wall Street in the early afternoon with some stocks losing their morning gains and others advancing. Brokers believed the market would be several days in adjusting itself. Urgent short coverings gave impetus to the recovery in the general list around noon, following a drop in call money to 4% per cent, compared with a renewal rate of 4% per cent. The easement caused the bears to weaken in the conviction that an advance in the local rediscount rate at tomorrow’s meeting •is a. foregone conclusion in view of e increase at Boston. Although bearish sentiment predominated after yesterday's shakeout, several houses urged clients to take advantage of the reaction. Brokers reported margin calls which had to he sent out as a result of yesterday's severe break was surprisingly light in view of the extent of the decline which took place in the popular spculative stocks. This situation was due to the fact that many houses had increased their marginal requirements during the last several months and most accounts were in a strong position to withstand the shock of a sudden collapse. Owing to the absence of any forced liquidation in sizeable quantities, shorts were forced to bid for stocks for covering purposes in the early dealings and their buying resulted in a slightly firmer tone In the general list. Local Bank Clearings —Nov. 11 Indtanapoli* bunk flearinw for tffllay amounted to $2,874,000. Debits totaled $6,380,000.

(By Thomson & McKinnon) XKW YORK.

Trade Reviews Say

NEW YORK, Nov. 11. —With Fold making 200,000 cars and trucks last month, motor vehicle production for October showed a material gain over September, but there was a curtailment in passenger car output for the industry aside from Ford. Retail deliveries are entirely satisfactory for the season, but they hive fallen off substantially from the peak reports Motor in its weekly review trade conditions. A good many dealers, with the approval of their factories in a few cases, are forcing sales by means of unsound time sales terms, accepting payments as low as JO or 25 per cent down and giving from eighteen months to two ye.ars to pay the balance. Finance companies are assuming most of the risks, but a too dangerous extension of credit is rather disturbing. Predictions are being made quite freely that passenger car production in 1926 will approximate 5,000,000, but similar extravagant estimates of the 1924 demand were made late in 1923 and the actual domestic output last year was only 3,000,000. Several companies have made substantial sales gains this year and the same condition probably will prevail in 1926. But most of the gains h; ve been offset by the losses of other companies and it is highly improbable that business next year will even approximate 5,000,000 cars. Indications now are that the total of domestic sales next year will be only moderately larger than in 1925. Exports will be considerably larger,, but the yare not likely to exceed 500,000. There is a point beyond which the market will not respond to price reductions.

SPARKS RULES AGAINST STATE REBUTTAL PLAN Bars Character Witnesses for Miss Oberholtzer and Hospital Head. Timsi S'(i ft Correspond' nt CIRCUIT COURT ROOM. NOBLESVILLE, Ind., Nov. 11. The State’s plans to introduce witnesses to testify as to the moral character of Madge Oberholtzer were frustrated late Tuesday when Judge Will M. Sparks sustained an objection by attorneys for D. C. Stephenson, Earl Gentry and Earl Klinek, charged with the girl’s murder. Mrs. Jennie H. Brown, 5087 E. Washington St., Indianapolis, wife of Hilton U. Brown, manager of the Indianapolis News, was called by the State to testify as to the character of Miss Oberholtzer. Mrs. Brown, said she had lived in Irvington thir-ty-two years, and that she had known Miss Oberholtzer approximately twenty years. “Were you acquainted with the general reputation of Madge Oberholtzer in the neighborhood where she lived as regards chastity and morality?” was the question propounded by Prosecutor William H, Remy, and which developed into a lengthy argument in which both sitles participated. Floyd Christian, a defense attorney, objected on the theory that evidence supporting the character of the deceased only is admissable when the character has been impeached.

Remy Resists Remy made a determined effort to convince the court that such evidence was admissable. “It is our theory that the defense has attacked the character |of Madge Oberholtzer. The de- * sense has brought witnesses here who have testified that Madge Oberholtzer was addicted to the use of liquor and ran around witli questionable people,” Remy declared as he east a significant glance over toward Stephenson. “I’ve put a good deal of time on that proposition, Gentlemen. In ease of murder the deceased’s character never is to be brought out as an is sue except when the person’s charactr has been attacked by a a defending party. I find no authority to support a theory to the contrary and if you have any to support it, I shall be mighty glad to hear it,” Judge Sparks explained. “But there has been an attempted attack by innuendo against the character of Madge Oberholtzer," Remy protested. “When the defense goes so far as to put a girl in a room with a man, and to allege that the two are drinking, I regard that as an assault against a person’s character. It is a principal of the law that no person ran do indirectly what he cun do directly.” "I’m not telling you what ought to be the law, I’m just telling you what I think is the law,” Judge Sjferks replied. “I’m a preacher of the higher courts and I must follow them,” Judge Sparks said firmly. “Te Supreme Court says it can’t be done, that’s all. If you can cite one case I’d be glad to have it. I could’nt find one.” Blow for State “Judge Sparks’ ruling on this mat ter was a blow to the State. Approximately fifty prominent Indianapolis persons were to have appeared Wednesday to testify for Miss Ober holtzer. Demarchus C. Brown. State librarian, and Dr. E. E. Wishard, were present today and planned to appear as character witnesses. “I’m sorry I didn’t get to testify,” said Mrs. Brown as she reluctantly left the stand. “Madge was such a lovely girl, and I loved her.” Another Blow Earlier in the afternoon the State suffered another set-back when the court ruled that the use of medical experts at this time did not constitute rebuttal testimony. Dr. Cleon A. Nafe, superinendent of the Indianapolis .city hospital, had been placed on the stand by the State for the purpose of refuting the defense’s theory that Miss Oberholtzer died as the direct result of mrcurial poisoning. After a lengthy wrangle over the admissability of Dr. Nafe’s testimony the State yielded to the defense’s objection. “If I feel that I’m wrong later, I will so notify you,” Judge Sparks told the State's attorneys as he ruled out Dr. Nafe’s testimony. Recess Taken Prosecutor Remy said that in view of the court’s ruling that the State had no more witnesses available today and asked that the case be resumed Wednesday morning. Judge Sparks acquiesced. Dr. R. N. Harger, toxicologist of Indiana University School of Medicine, was the first witness placed on the stand by Prosecutor William H. Remy. In contradiction of defense medical testimony, Harger, said medical literature contains at least eleven cases of recovery after the taking of large doses of bichloride of mercury, and r.o medical aid was given for hours—in one instance as long as two days. The defense has introduced testimony that Madge could not possibly recover after taking fortyfive grains of the poison in a Hammond hotel room March 16, and then keeping it secret six hours. Dr. Harger said that the best medical library in the country is that of the Surgeon General of the United States, and that list of books on toxicology prepared by the Surgeon General’* office is the best.

Cox Takes Hand Attorney Charles E. Cox then named over some of the medical books given by defense doctors, and Harger said that most of them were not authorities. Eph Inman, chief defense attor ney, alternately calling Harger "Doc tor" and "Professor," submitted the witness to intensive cross-exaMina tion. Harger bore up well under Inman's fire, much to the amusement.

What the Government Says About Coke Technical Paper No. 242, Department of Interior has this to say about Coke: “When burning coke a furnace requires much less attention than when burning soft coal. The time usually given to poking tires, cleaning the furnace hues and the house can be spent much more profitably in some other way. The cleanliness of coke will appeal especially to the housewife. “Coke offers the best means of making our large cities smokeless. Where soft coal is burned for domestic heating, about 00% of all the smoke in the atmosphere is made in the residential section, in house-heating furnaces. Substituting coke for soft coal will eliminate this 60% of smoke. “Coke does not make any soot, consequently the cleaning of boilers, smoke pipes and hues is eliminated. Soot is a poor conductor of heat; when it is deposited on the heating surfaces of the boiler or furnace, much less heat is utilized in heating the house, and a large part of the heat passes up the chimney. All formation of soot means a direct loss, because it represents that much unburned coal. “Soft coal can never he burned in house-heating furnaces with such completeness of cumbustion as coke. The coal is first reduced to coke by driving off the volatile matter, most of which escapes unburned; then the coke burns in the furnace and heats the house. “The results obtained thus far show that coke can he burned in house-heating furnaces much more efficiently than soft c0a1. ,, Thousands of Indianapolis Homes Are Now Heated With Silvery Nuggetu of INDIANAPOLIS Coke “The Ideal Fuel" You, too, can enjoy real fuel satisfaction ORDER FROM YOUR DEALER Citizens Gas Company .. .li - ■*- IS , \ . a. 4
