Average Stock Prices

Avcrnse prtrc of twenty industrial stocks for Thursday, was 158.31. up .92. Average price of twenty rails for Thursday, was 112.42, up .50. Bu United Press NEW YORK, Jan. 14.—Stocks were strengthened in the early dealings by the warning of leaders of tne Democratic party to * minority Senators not to delay passage of the tax reduetton long enough to present taxpayers from receiving benefits of the cut on March 15. Another constructive factor was the DowJones survey of the steel trade eonditionp showing that operations of the United States Steel Corporation had increased to 87 per cent, a slight gain over the preceding week, and that tlie railroads were placing large orders for rails. Steel Common continued to head the forward movement in the industrial list moving up a point to 136 Vi. Price changes in othpr speculative leaders were mostly small', but generally upon the upside. Although at times during the morning the market was made to look as though a bad break was imminent, professional traders failed to force important liquidation and the general list developed considerable strength around noon. Steel, Can, Dupont, Hudson and other industrial leaders scored fair gains from the opening levels and aggressive buying demonstrations were staged in the special stocks. U. S. Rubber was active around'its best levels of the current recovery at 81%. Information from reliable sources indicates the company’s showing for 1925 better than generally believed.

Sharply higher close in Liverpool and good gains in Buenos Aires brought in commission house buying and forced shorts to cover.

Across the Desk With Busy Men Record Year for Builders Supply Companies Predicted.

By Rader Win get J BELIEVE business for the J I I builders' supply companies L-U for 1926 will be the best experienced An many years. But as a note of warning I might say, be careful of credit extensions,” said A. D. Zuber, manager of the Old Fort Supply Company, of Ft. Wayne, re-elected president of the Indiana Builders’ Supply Association at the close of a two-day convention this week at the Claypool. Building is quiet at the present time, but in the spring it will be on the upgrade. Many credit extensions will necessarily be given and they will be safe as long as employment in good, according to Zuber. But as soon as employment slumps the worker will find himself short of cash and will default his payments. Credit extensions are all right as long as they are watched carefully, most of the men handling builders’ supplies think. IORTHERN Indiana has the most active building pro- _ gram in this State,” said Fred D. Stilz, vice president of the Indiana Builders’ Supply Association. First rate employment conditions, and the fact that most of the northern Indiana manufacturing plants are running to capacity, tends to stimulate building In that section of the State. Right now business is rather quiet all over the State due to weather conditions, but it is expected to pick up about the first of March and continue in good volume through the summer. v . ' Prices have been steady for the past twelve months and probably will remain unchanged for the coming twelve months, according to Stilz. Lumber might be higher in the spring, but there seems to be a doubt as to a rise. Brick and stucco are rapidly taking the place of lumber as an exterior finish for a house. If lumber goes higher, the builders will shift to brick and stucco as a consequence it is said. Common brick was low during the fall of 1925 and is at its lowest just now. But a rise is expected this spring. | HERE has been less price- | I changing this month in % 1 builders’ supplies than there has been for the past ten years,” said Stilz. ‘A number of factories combine to produce this effect. Foremost in the list is the general feeling of prosperity which has prevailed most of the industries in Indiana.” Many employers and employment agencies say there is less unemployment now than at any other time. The business of the builders is very closely connected with the employment situation and varies directly with it. H. B. Kemper, field representative for the Allen A. Wilkenson Lumber Company, in his travels over Indiana finds that Ft. Wayne and South Bend are two of the best cities from the standpoint of building, in the State. This observation bears out the opinions of many builders’ supply dealers, who attended the I. B. S. A. convention.

In the Sugar Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK. Jan. 14.—The small total of new business recently in the refined sugar market has been characteristic of the market for raws and for futures and has resulted in very narrow price fluctuations. Sugar futures are making time, but the probability is that before the period of highest production le reached the sagging tendencies which have developed wilt have become more pronounced. Reports of greater consumption of raw sugar in certain sections of the world failed to stimulate any fresh int-r----est on the buying side.

MINE YIELDS UP TWO MORE MEN (Continued From Page 1)

covered with debris in remote passages cannot be reached for a week, it was said. No Hope It is impossible for any more miners to be alive, officials said. Sixty State troopers are on duty around the mine. Dawn found Wilburton able to count only six of her dead. Fire and water threatened to rob the rest of even a human burial. A recheck established that 101 men had entered the mine just before the blast, twenty-five white men and seventy-six Negroes. Eight Negroes emerged late Wednesday alive. Six bodie's were recovered late Wednesday night—three whites and three negroes. Rescue workers already have counted sixty-seven bodies. “Someone took a chance and paid with his life,” this was the verdict of John Almond, Henryetta, district mine inspector, after he had spent nearly eighteen hours in the mine. Almond was in charge of rescue work during the night. He reported that the mine had been checked up by the “fire bosses." The “fire bosses” go into the mine every morning three hours before the miners and Aest for gas. If they find any appreciable evidence of it, they are supposed to close the mine while they take immediate steps to eradicate it. Almond reported that the “fire bosses” had okehed the mine Wednesday morning, but had left warning notices for the miners. The “lire bosses” were both experienced and Almond believed they just took a chance on the ventilating system sweeping the gas out of the mine. Both Dead Both “fire bosses' were found dead. State officials, headed by Ed Boyle, state mining inspector, will thoroughly probe the accident today. The United Press correspondent descended with grimfaced rescuers to the sixteenth level. Dead, scorched men, some black, some white, were strewn in the narrow, sinking slope. The body hunters at times were forced to crawl on their stomachs, wriggling and hoping for signs of life. The body of A. B. Thomas, 37, white, engineer, lay crumpled, burned beyond recognition. his watch stopped at 8:30 a. m. Thirtyone other bodies, scorched and grimy, lay scorched on the same level. At the surface, women In hysterical grief, shrieked and moaned tn their fear, waved their arms wildly and called on God to bring back the lost. Survivor’s Story Roy Gray, one of the eight Negroes to escape alive, told his story of the disaster today. “I had just gotten down to the tnirteenth level west and pulled off my coat to go to work,” he said. “I didn’t notice anything unusual: I was tn one of the rooms. “Suddenly the ground scented to rise up and hit me. I don’t remember hearing the explosion. I knew vaguely what had happened and started to get out like anything. “Just then, a little after damp came into West 13, I forget what I did, but remember crawling toward the shaft and yelling. It must have taken me forty-five minutes no get there, for I was unconscious part of the time. ‘They told me later It was my yelling that let them know the eight of us were alive. It was all sort of a blur to me. I didn’t know what all had happened until I got out and they told me there had been an explosion on the level 16,. which is the bottom level.” SULLIVAN DISASTER LAST Fifty-One Killed in Explosion Tear Ago; State’s Laws Strict. There has been no serious mine disaster in Indiana since last winter when fifty-one men were killed in an explosion at Sullivan. Indiana's laws governing mine operations are- strict, particularly with reference to fire inspections before each shift, Albert C. Dally, State mine inspector, said today. “It is the duty of a certified fire boss to make a tour of inspection before each change of shift. He is required, also, to show, by a check system, that the inspection has been made,” Dally said. \

BEVERIDGE TO RETURN HERE JANJO OR 24 Indication on Senatorial Race Plans Is Expected. Former United sihtes Senator Albert J. Beveridge, will bo in Indianapolis either Jan. 20 or 24, according to word received by friends here today. He is expected to indicate whether he will enter the sen atorial race against James E. Watson. y Beveridge will, leave Beverly Farms, Mass., Saturday and go to the Plaza Hotel in New York for a few days prior to coming to this city. Clarence R. Martin, attorney, 802 National City Bank Bldg.. Beveridge’s campaign manager in 1916, said he had received letters from Ft. Wayne, Terre Haute, Kokomo, Corydon and cities urging support of Beveridge. To Support livcridge That A. J. Vesey, Watson’s Twelfth district campaign manager and Harry G. Hogan, New manager in 1920, in the same district, will support Beveridge, was the word from William E. Ciapham, Ft. Wayne attorney. Ft. Wayne backers requested 100 more petitions. A boom for Martin as Seventh district representative also was in the air. He and James M. Dgden, former corporation counsel, are among the Republicans most prominently mentioned to oppose Representative Ralph E. Updike's renomination. Laughs It Off Martin was inclined to laugh bff the report, and said he had made no plans toward that end. Should Beveridge supporters line up for Martin, it would indicate there’s little hope for a BeveridgeSenator Robinson combination, for Robinson is said to have agreed to favor Updike to the limit. General opinion Is that the Watson-Roblnson fight against the field is a certainty.

HORRORS FACED BY RESCUERS 8 (Contiuued From Page 1) if they had been overcome by gas after having been stunned. “What is behind the chamber door in front of which the men lay?” “Are there more dead in there?” “Is the chamber full of gas?” These were the questions asked from man to man in subdued tones. Suddenly a flickering light appeared up tint slope as rescuers prepared to take some of the bodies to the bottom of the shaft on improvised stretchers. “Everybody out!” the man with the flickering light ordered. “Fourteenth level entrance is on fire!” Visions of smouldering fires at the entrance of mine chambers on the thirteenth and fourteenth levels came to mind. Everyone hastily started back up the tortuous slope back to the bottom of the 198-foot stairway. There were places where a person could walk upright, other places where it was necessary to crawl on hands and knees, still others where it was necessary to wriggle because of rock and slate falling in the passageway. As we fled toward the stairway a bunch of slate, which had been propped up in one of the narrow places fell. Someone, in the rush to get out, had struck the prop. "Steady, don’t stampede or none of us will get out,” shouted our leader. “You fellow's are going the wrong way.” The men calmed down, came back and took the right turn which was plainly marked with chalk. Some continued to crowd and someone else took up the cry of a man to each section of the stairway. The slow, heartbreaking climb 198 feet to the surface began. “Go slow, it is a long, hard climb, and you’ll give out if you hurry,” counselled our leader. Before we were half way up, I was gasping for breath. At last the top. Two hundred yards to the northeast, the crowd around the mouth of the shaft was strangely silent. Down the hillside toward Wllburton, where the wives and children of- the dead miners were clustered “in the, vale of sorrow” a piercing wail of a woman rang out. And work of forcing the Degnan McConnell mine No. 21 to reluctantly give up its dead was halted for the time being.
