By United Press NEW YORK, Dec. 29.—A heavy .demand for oil stocks marked the opening of the market with some attendant irregularity. Phillips Petroleum started off with a block of 4,000 shares at 48%, up %; Union of California gained % at 41% and Marland % aC 59, while Pacific Oil was fractionally lower. The general list was less active with most of the attfem.on being paid to the higher grade rails and Industrials, like Atchison, New York Central and United States Steel. Gulf States Steel which has recently kbeen inactive came to life and advanced to ' 94% up 1%. Inside interests are said to be very optimistic over the outlook for this company. Its cohi*cV-nt earnings record, freedom from any funded debt and the email issue of preferred stock leaves practically all its earnings for the 125,000 common shares. After its early activity the market quieted down and stocks churned over without any definite trend, in most cases fractionally below their morning’s highs. Principal activity was in the leather issues. Central Leather sold at 19% up % and the preferred was at 67 up 2, while American Hide and Leather gained 1% to 13%, and the preferred at 61%, up 1%.

In the Sugar Market

Kv fhomson & McKinnon NEW YORK. Dec. 29.—During the coming week the first cron estimate by the Cuban department of agriculture is expected to be published. According to private cables, a crop of between 4.400.000 and 4.800.000 tons is probable. The freezing of the Elbe is another favorable development. Navigation in Germany is at a standstill and shipment by rail would be prohibitive at the present low selling price of sugar. With the actual market firmly established at 2% cents and a better inquiry developing from abroad, futures may work somewhat higher, unless producing Interests resume hedging on a substantial scale.

BEAR CABLES DEPRESS GRAIN Bullish Undertone Persists, but Trading Slows. Bu United Press CHICAGO, Dec. 29.—Bearish influences, strictly foreign, depressed sentiment in the local grain pit at opening of trade here today. Liverpool was sharply lower, reflecting weakness in Buenos Aires. Bullish undertone persisted in wheat, but there was a tendency to go slow, pending news from the Argentine. Local and eastern longs were credited with selling based on weaker cables. Corn developed an easy undertone, in sympathy with wheat. Oats trailed other grains on a dull market.

Llge Carpenter, 40, colored, proprietor of a dry beer saloon at 1001 N. Missouri St., after his place had been raided, volunteered to help the IK)lice raid the other places in the neighborhood. Carpenter was in bed when the raiders entered. Four men were in the saloon. They were permitted to go. “We’re Federal agents,” announced Agent Parker, who headed Squad Four. A colored man said to have been a relative of Carpenter, dashed a pitcher of boore behind the bar, and ran out the door. Patrolman Ball and Deputy Sheriff Kemps chased him with drawn revolvers, but were afraid to fire because of pedestrians. He escapedAfter searching the saloon and adjoining poolroom, the agents wen* upstairs and awakened Carpenter. He rubbed his qyes and demanded to know what it (was all about. He dressed leisurely as the agents searched the room. When dressed he said; “Come on. I’ll help you raid the other places.” And he did. Prohibition agents charged that Charles McMurray, colored, 528 N. California St., sold booze to high school students at a drug store at 648 Indiana Ave. He was arrested in a raid at the store.

Two men, James Smith, 47, colored, 336 Broadview Terrace, and Gabe Gates, 36, colored, 1801 Northwestern Ace., at the house, were held for questioning after agents said they found three-sour 1 ns of a gallon of liquor in an adjoining yard. Nothing was found In Price's home and a vacant house next door had been searched. Price, was arrested later in the morning. He was said to have been In police court.

Sixteenth St. “We’re Federal agents.” Agents said Braun, who was standing at the other end of the bar, moved slowly to a jar and emptied it.' Agents seized him and saved part of the liquor. Warden also eased out from behind the bar and agents seized him. Eats Lunch “Oh, I was just going to eat my lunch over at that table,” he said. They let him eat. It was near noon and a tray of frankfurters steaming, tempted the agents. Eating, they searched the place for more booze. "We paid for the frankfurters,” the agents said. The raiders had a capias for John J. Johnson, 61, colored, 1028 Muskingum St., proprietor of a poolroom at 1102 N. Senate Ave. Johnson was at the poolroom, and the agents, after searching the place, found a small quantity of mule. They arrested John A. Johnson, 26, the son. Bewildered, he protested his innocence.

They got the wrong number.’’ The raiders visited a “street car” lunchroom, operated by John King, at 730 Massachusettes Ave. They said they found liquor by digging under the stove. Winkler announced that bills asking that the raided places be padlocked for one year will be filed in Federal Court Immediately. The prohibition department will ask for padlock orders for one year on each place. The places which will be raided have been doing “big business,” agents declare. At a suburban soft drink parlor it is alleged the operator has been selling liquor to auto parties. Six Weeks’ Work The Indianapolis clean-up has been the goal of the local activities of the Federal prohibition agents for the last three months. Agents have been working for the last six weeks collecting evidence. Harris announced several months ago, after the new Federal regime took office, that “the liquor In Indiana is going to be wiped out.” Federal agents declared it was the firs', time in the history of t*ie city thai raids of this size have ever been conducted here. Harris said a steady drive will be kept up In Indianapolis and throughout the State.

VISITORS COME TO HAUGHVILLE (Continued From Pape 1) old boy said to another, and the gang immediately scurried to all quarters of Haughville, broadcasting the news. Wheij the squad arrived at the poolroom of Tony Berkopes, 2803 W. Tenth St., Tony was found peacefully checking his accounts In a back room while Mrs. Berkopes was getting breakfast. Neither looked up as the squad pried open drawers, looked under the baby’s bedclothes in the cradle and searched the basement. “We’re looking for liquor,’’ finally said an officer, hfter about ten minutes’ silent search. “Ain’t Any Liquor” “Oh, liquor,” said Tony. “There ain’t any liquor here. Never keep it.” "What’s in this drawer?” said Liebert. Tony srugged his shoulders and added more figures. The officer jerked It open and found a pair of Ice skates. “Them’s my Christmas present*,” said one of the boys. A Christmas tree still graced the tawdry poolroom, which was empty. The children went ahead with their playing. "Weil, come on Honey. Got a warrant for you. ‘Violatin’ liquor laws SI,OOO bond.” Honey put on his coat and went along, while Mrs. Berkopes called the family bondsman and attorney, arranging for her husband’s relaese. Two Saloons Honey was taken with the squad to the 701 and 702 Arnold St., soft drink saloons on opposite corners. He read a newspaper whils the squad divided and dashed in the places. Nobody was In 701 and the place was cold. Quite a contrast to the picture drawn by the Federal agent, who got the evidence on which the warrants were based. Much drinking took place in the two establishments, according to him, young women ‘highly intoxicated having been found there. Phillip Sartinoff, proprietor of 701, was in the back yard, splitting kindling to start his fire. No liquor was found, and he was arrested on the warrant, and taken across the street to 702, where Nick Tom and Mike Kiroff, pro*

pi-letors sat placidly looking on while the officers stormed up and down looking for liquor. Some empty whisky glasses were all. The three were sent to the Federal Bldg., locking their doors. “I don’t understand what this Is for. We never had no liquor here," complained Nick. Chicken Dinner riser Climbing in the sole remaining flivver, now frozen up and steaming, the depleted squad “made” the chicken dinner place of Boris Plach, on the Speedway Road, near the Speedway. Boris was telephoning as Agents Marshall and Llebert and Deputy Petty dashed in, but he immediately hung up. The officers said never a word, but marched to the kitchen and searched—in vain. Boris grinned at them, and chatted In friendly fashion. “Well, I been open three weeks, and this is the third visit I’ve had,” he said. “The first night it was the police. Then the sheriff, and now you guys. Must think I’m selling liquor!” Petty had warrants for Plach and his cook, over whose name there was an argument. The paper said “Stitskoss.” The cook said “Klaneff.” “Where’s your cook?” demanded Siebert. “In there asleep with his wife.” The nook was aroused, and, grumbling, dressed. “Can’t sleep around this and Joint for officers,’’ he said. "What they want this time?” “You’re charged with selling, I guess." “Selling? Me? We ain't never sold no liquor here. How they gat that way?” Empty t ans Found The officers found three empty alcohol cans, some whisky glasses and an empty whisky bottle. "Come on, you birds, let’s go,” admonished an officer. Stitskoff, alias Klaneff, and Plach locked up, leaving the woman in bed, and were taken to town. “Here I am; never sold nothing except mayba some chicken sandwiches; hauled out of a warm bed/ and rode down in a frozen old flivver, freezing me to death. It ain’t right,” said the cook. “Cheer up! Probably all you’ll get is a year and day,” said an officer. “Oh, I suppose so. If they want to stick you, they stick you that’s all. But I don’t know why they’re always picking on us." The citizens of Haughvllle, those not Actively participating in the raids, evinced little curiosity.
