In the Sugar Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) As against the gelling by large operators in yesterday's future market, there has been a well defined attempt on the part of producing interests to hold up prices Must of the business in the sport market was done at 2 13-32 for Cuba*, but the demand was very light and little interest was shown above that figure. The stronger tone of the futures market was attributed in some quarters to a renewed demand for investment, but this was not taken seriously. The piarket continue* dull, and there is nothing in the situation for the moment to influence prices to any extent In either direction. Wholesale Meat Prices Lee—Native steers. 600 to 800 ibs.

CEREALS RALLY OH CHICAGO PIT Support Brought Out by Unexpected Foreign Strength. CHICAGO, Feb. 18. Grains rallied moderately In opening trade on the Chicago Board of Trade today. Unexpected strength in Liverpool brought out good buying support in wheat. Coarse grains gathered firmness from the major cereal. Commission houses and short interests absorbed wheat offered by tired long holders. The volume of trade was somewhat reduced. Liverpool advanced fractionally with continental buying and smaller arrivals. Corn was higher with wheat. Weakness In the cash market re suited in failure of buying support in futures. Oats held firm. Provisions gained a few cents with short covering. Chicago Grain Table —Feb. 18— Open. High Low.

UTILITIES BIG FACTOR Public Should Never ’Be Damned,’ Say* Advertising Club Speaker. "The public should never be damned.” said W. S. Vivian of Chicago today at the Advertising Club luncheon at the daypool. “Utilities have advanced a long ways from the old-time position taken by William H. Vanderbilt, when he said, ‘the public be damned,’ ” said Vivian. There can be no benefit in hamstringing a utility when so much In the way of economic and civic development depends on the utility's ability to give constant and uninterrupted seiMoe in addition to making' expansions as the community grows, he said. ' Vivian is public relations director of the Middle West Utilities Company. HANCE SUSPECT FREED Muneie Police Unable, to Prove Convict’* Story. BU United Press MUNCIE.

U. S. MAY BUY ALLAVAILABLE BONDED WHISKY Dry Chief Is Studying Proposal Approves Inquiry. WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.— Assistant See-retary of the Treasury Andrews today approved the Congressional proposal for an impartial inquiry into the social and economic effect.* of prohibition and announced his purpose to have the Federal Government purchase all available bonded whisky in the United States if practicable. While declining to state whether he favors the specific proposal for an investigation by a presidential commission aa sponsored in the House by wets and drys, until he studies the bill. Andrews, nevertheless, frankly declared: “I have always felt the need for more accurate information as to results obtained. It certainly would be advantageous to the success of the law to have these controverted facts settled and thus remove them from the present field of discussion with its widely divergent statements. The nation could accept the result 1 of the proposed study, and thus settled, to a fixed policy, could go ahead successfully.” Foreign Curiosity The actual reason for the inquiry, Andrews said, is that it would put the treasury department in a position to answer foreign natlonu who “constantly ask as to the result of our sociological experiment.” The department is "embarrassed,” Andrews said, “in that it cannot answer the questions with any degree of accuracy.” In regard to the proposal that the Government take over the existing supply of whisky, Andrews said: “Until this study is completed- I can make nc statement as to its practicability. “It’s desirability is unquestioned, as it would remove this source of supply of good whisky from the possibility of getting into bootleg channels and be used as a flavor for the so-called whisky they are selling today, or even greater Importance, it would assure pure whisky for medicinal purposes to the retail druggists.” Prevent Leakage Andrews j*ointed out that such a move also would result in having the existing supply bottled, sealed and cased and preventing further “leakage,” thus enabling the Government to know exactly how much pure whisky remains in stock so that steps can be taken at the proper time to manufacture additional quantities at least five years before needed. Secretary of the Treasury Mellon, however, is understood to be “luke warm” on the purchase proposal, believing it would unnecessarily put the Government into business. According to unofficial estimates, there are between 15,000,000 and 20.008,000 gallons of whisky in bonded warehouses, the remainder of the stock in that which prohibition caught. The purchase of this would cost from $150,000,000 to $400,000,000 depending upon the price paid. U. S. MEN IN LIQUOR RAIDS (Continued From Page 1) pigeons,” for whom they bought drinks, the agents secured the evidence in the past month without arousing suspicions. At one place, where the proprietoress was temporarily out of liquor, they said, an attempt was made to sell them morphine. Evidence against the place was turned over to the Federal "dope" squad. The agents were aided by Sheriff Omer Hawkins and deputies, city police and regular agents working out of Harris’ office, Gaelic in Yard Deputies Reagan and Brown and Federal Agent Jay arrested Phillip Valdi, 47, of 117 S. California St., and his wife. A pint in the house and two gallons of .iquor buried in the rear of the home wfere found, the raiders said. The backyard cache was discovered when a woman, living next door, rushed over to get a bottle. She was to be arrested. She broke the bottle before the officers could reach her. When the visitors knocked, Mrs. Valdi pulled out a “cork” in the door to see who was there at such an early hour. She attempted to destroy the liquor, but the agents rushed in, knocking her over, and secured the evidence. This is the third raid at the Valdi home. Eli -Ciss, 43 S. West St., was brought in by Federal Agent Meeker, Pat rolman Coleman and Deputy Anderson. Mrs. Tode McQuaid, 48, a widow, living at 1009 E. Pratt St., and Humphrey Barrett, alias John Bar rett, a boarder, were taken into custody. “It seems like I get arrested every time I turn around,” Barret commented. “Russia or Siberia” “Oh fiddlesticks. This must be Russia or Siberia. It’s a sure thing that it isn’t Ireland,” Mrs. McQuaid said. Stewart Brown, who also lives at the Pratt St. address, was found in bed, but as he had no liquor with him. was not arrested. Yiheriff Hawkins. Agent Hollopeter, Sergeant O’Conner and Patrolman Bartlett made the arrests. The raiders brought in Markle Milotivieh. 30, of 167 Bright St., George Nuta, 424 W.

Gun Found Th® Russell woman, donning bar fur coat, admitted that her husi nd was serving a life term in the Ohio Slate Penitentiary. A loaded gun was found in Collier’s room. Rufus Hicks, 637 Bright St., his wife, Ada Hicks, and Charles (Jock) Ingram, 204 N. East St., were arrested. Following instructions in the prohibition offices, the raiders were divided into five squad manning five automobiles. Each car carried a deputy sheriff, policeman and Federal agent in addition to a driver and a newspaper man. Downtown District Most of the places were near the downtown district. Arrests were made on Federal jyarrants and persons arrested were bound over to the Federal grand jury under high bond. Harris indicated some of the cases may be taaken to Criminal Court if the defendapts can be brought to trial there before they could In Federal Court. , It was also indicated by Harris that steps would be taken to deny citizenship papers to those aliens arrested and found guilty. This might lead,* eventually, to deportation, it was pointed out. Two Purchases Made In order to be certain of violations, Harris ordered that two purchases be made at each of the places suspected. Two bottles of liquor, purchased from each of the persons for whom there was a. warrant, are held at the prohibition office. These bottles are labelled with the rame of the seller, place and date of sale. Agents pari icipating in the raid were Roy R. Hollopter, Harvey Rhed, D. W. Meeker, Doris Sturgeon and Ferris Jay. City and county officers assisting were: Police Sergeants Cox and O’Connor, Patrolmen Landers and Toleman, and Deputy Sheriffs Brown, Reagen, Anderson, Bell and Reams, under Sheriff Omer Hawkins.

After “Last Drop” “We’re going to hit ’em 'til they quit,” Harris said. “As long as there is a drop of liquor in Indianapolis we’re going to keep right after them. “No matter what anybody thinks or how anybody feels, this department is going to call the bluff on the liquor traffic here. "We have met with wonderful success and co-operation in recent raids, not only in Indianapolis, but also in New Albany, Evansville, Terre Haute and other cities in Indiana. “Between Feb. 8 and 14, twenty alleged liquor law violators were arrested in New Albany. Two men working in Evansville confiscated six automobiles and three stills.” Twenty-three persons were arrested by police in liquor raids Wednesday night.
