PORKER PRICES SHARPLY LOWER
LIST UNAFFECTED BY DECREASE IN FEDERALRESERVE Slump Due to Withdrawals / of Gold Over Double Holiday. NEW YORK, July 9.—Sharp decreases were shown in the reserve position of both the New York and Federal Reserve Systerfi as a whole in the weekly statements. For New York the figure fell off to 74.6 per cent,*compared with 84.6 per cent a week ago and for the entire system to 73.2 per cent against 75.3 per cent a week ago. These shrinkages were due to heavy withdrawals of gold largely to currency equirements over the Fourth of July holiday. Consequently the Impairments caused no apprehension In banking circles, where it was generally expected that money would work easier as funds were returned to the banks. Stocks therefore showed no concern over the credit conditions in early dealings continuing to display a confident tone. I Greater stability was imparted to the general list by rallying tendencies which in General Motors and Steel around noon. Steel rebounded a point from the early low of 140%, while General Motors came back 1% to 150%. Oils continued, to act well notwithstanding the cut in Pennsylvania crude.

Bu United Prett CHICAGO, July 9. —The bears of Thursday were the bulls of today In the wheat pit of the Chicago Board of Trade, so prices advanced frm 1% to 2% cents over Thursday’s close. Corn, however, barely maintained Its levels, and oats registered only the smallest of gains. Wheat prices eased off early in the day, but the leading local operators began to buy on the strength of a serious Northwestern weather situation and because of the heavy Southwestern movement, which was being absorbed so thoroughly by bullish elevators, who are forcing up the cash price. Corn again took most of itq Strength from wheat and closed at about the same prices it did twentyfour hours ago. There waa a good demand from the East for cash article and spot prices were from % to 1 cent higher. The rain over the Central States was of real value to the growing crop. Oats were neglected, but maintained the prices at which they closed Thursday. Rye, on the other hand, showed good gains in all positions. X | Pi ovisions -eased off early on the drop in hog va+ues, but rallied with wheat, to close unchanged. Chicago Grain Table WHEAT— ~’ luly p r ev. lOpen. High. Low. Close, close.

ONE KILLED, TWO HURT 1 BATTLE ■• . , (Continued From Page 1) ing attempted to take an tuo parked near by. In a statement to police later, Alger admitted attempting to steal the machine. Draws Gun, Flees Mosbey took Alger Into the Indiana Wholesale Tire Company’s store, 201 N. Capitol Ave., and questioned him, preparatory to calling a patrol wagon. He was joined by Officer Hadley, and while the two were making out an arrest slip, Ajger is said to have drawn a large, bluesteel, 44-calibre revolver from a package he was carrying, and fired at the two officers. / The bullet passed between the two officers. Alger darted through a rear door. The police had not searched him thoroughly, as the tire theft charge is not a serious one. Mosbey and Hadley separated to surround the block, and Mosbey fired at the youtjr as he fled. The shots attracted Buchanan,- stationed at Capitol and Indiana Aves., and he ran south, where he was signalled by Mrs. Maude Bohman, 1248 Burdsal Pkwy., employed at the Beyer House. Mrs. Bohinan Is a sister of E. A. Beyer, proprietor of the hotel. Dives Through Window In the meantime, Alger had ducked between buildings and dived headlong through a/narrow bathroom window Into a bathroom of the Beyer House. Walking Into the hall, ho encountered Beyer, and ordered him to “stick ’em up.” £lrs. Bohman, coming from the saw Alger forcing her brother Into a bark room. She slipped to the front door, saw Buchanan, and believing that Beyer was being held up, called the policemen In. “Go up to the second floor and down the back stairs,” She told the officer.” Be careful because the man has a gun.” Beyer’s story to police was as follows: “When he told me to ‘stick ’em up’ I said, ‘Go ahead. Take anything I’ve got.’ But he said, ‘I don’t want nothing'. They’re after me.” “Who ts after you?” i asked. “ ‘The police, and they want me for something I haveh’t done,’ the boy said. / Hides in Closet “He commanded me to hide him and .said ‘s-s-h. Be quiet.’ He forced me into a closet back room, came into the closet with me and made me hold my hands above my head. He had a gun pointed at me all the time. He asked me how many people were in the hotel at that time and w’hcn I said there were only two and they were asleep he replied, ‘That's good.’ “We were in there only about two or thjTee minutes, when the officer arrived.” Acording to Beyer’s story, when Buchanan opened the closet door only about an inch, the bandit fired one shot through the and two shots came through from the other side, barely missing the hotel proprietor. As the door swung open, the alleged thief fired another shot. This was the one that Is supposed to have struck Buchanan in the head. The officer staggered forty feet up the hall and fell at the front door, that was locked bolted. He was dead when IJeut. Fred Winkler and emergency squad arrived. After making a headlong dive out through the window, the youth then scaled a six foot brick wall In the rear of the Beyer House. Others Join Chase At this juncture, Ernest T. Ryan, Negro, svho operates a pressing par lor at 229 N. Capitol Ave., next door, ran In and saw Buchanan lying on the floor* Seizing the officer's gun, he gave chase. Alger, after staling the wall, found his progress impeded by Shaffer, who Is employed near by. The youth fired at Shaffer, who fell o\it of his path. By this time Ryan, and Earl Shaw, 22, of 401 Ketcham St., said to be a horse thief deetctlve, reached the rear of the Beyer house and fired at Alger as he fled. It Is thought some, of these bullets struck the fleeing man. Running across Indiana Ave. ami brandishing his revolver In the Alger was seen by Traffiemen Carl Sheets and Alva Lee, who started in pursuit. As he reached New York ar.d Illinois Sts., he leaped_into an automobile driven by Mrs. A. J. Brizendine, 244 S'. Christian Ave. Her husband also was in . the machine, which had been stopped for a traffic signal. “Drive Like Hell” “Damn you, drive away from here and drive like hell," the youth told Mrs. Brizendine. Before the traffic slgn changed Lee and Sheets rushed jip and captured Alger, who had paAially collapsed In the rear seat. Tfiey fired at him when he drew his gun and some of the bullets took effect. Coroner Paul F. Robinson sent Buchanan’s body to the city morgue pending a postmortem examination. Othfer officers who figured in the capture were Trafficman Roy Kennedy, Negro; Sergt. Cliff Riohter, Motorpolicemen Oakley, Small, Fahey, Weddel, C. O. Johnson, Detectives Houlihan, Hines and Traffic Inspector Lester Jones and Sergt. Eugene Shine, i Traffic Halted *> Traffic was halted and crowds swarmed to the vicinity after the first bullets were fired. Three emergency squads were sent out. Crowds tried to rush into the hotel, the'scene of the tragedy, and it was necessary to close and lock the doors. News of the tragedy spread throughout th? downtown district quickly. Shafer, the citizen wounded in an attempt to stop Alger, lives with his sister, Mrs. Jesse McCarty, wife of a patrolman. Buchanan who was appointed to the force Nov. 11, 1919, had been a traffic officer sino* 1923. He was widely known, having been stationed at Capitol and Indiana Aves. since 1923. His wife was In the city hospital with a minor lllnes when informed of the death of her
CAR MEN SEEK CITIZENS’ BODY (Continued From Page 1) several shots as he chased four or five men down an alley near Tenth St. and Pershing Ave., after a W. Tenth St. car had been stoned. The officer said one of the men screamed and fell. He was helped to his feet and hustled away by companions. Patrolman Mitchell said he was struck on the head by one of the stones. Otis Roberts, 2226 Kenwood Ave., and W. Zollinger, 284 W. Twentieth. St., riding on an outbound Illinois St. car were slightly injured when windows were broken and part of the flooring torn up by an explosion when the car ran over dynamite caps. Detective Gaughan and Patrolman McDonald, Who were on the car, escaped injury. Harvey Thompson, 4015 Rookwood Ave., said the windshield of liis auto was broken by a rock at Twenty-Second and Illinois Sts., when he was driving home after taking Roberts home. Patrolman Michael Morrissey reported that he found several dynamite caps along the Illinois St. car line. Patrolman Walter Skinner was struck on the head by a rock while riding ou a Riverside car at Twentieth and Montcalm Sts. Rocks, thrown from behind a large sign board broke several windows In the car. Four men escaped, through a vacant lot near the W. Michigan St. bridge over White River after stoning a W. Michigan car and placing dynamite caps on the tracks. Dynamite caps were found on the tracks at Thirty-Sixth St. andtßoulevard PI., Michigan St. and Big Four tracks and along several other lines. The same man who stoned a street car at Warman Ave. and Washington St. is thought to have escaped after throwing a missile at a street railway bus at Lyons and W. Washington Sts. Sergt. Eisenhut said he failed to find anyone after a report was received at jiollce headquarters that a gang was gathering near the main entrance of Crown Hill Cemetery to tear up the tracks along the Fairview Park route. Several police squads dispersed small crowds at Twenty-Eighth and Clifton Sts., Tenth St. and Highland Ave., Twenty-Sixth St. and Northwestern Ave., West and Washington Sts., Seventeenth and Illinois Sts., and Twenty-Second and Talbott Ave. A report that strikers were stoning street cars at Thirty-Second St. and Central Ave., and attempting to take crews from cars was found false by Sergt. Chitwood. No arrests were made during the night. Lieut. Leonard Fogpythe questioned a man in connection with the placing of dynamite caps on the tracks at Twenty-First and Illinois Sts., but released him when he was not Identified. Handicapped by the transfer of .twenty-one traffic officers to strike duty, the traffic department is having difficulty in handling.downtown traffic during the rush hotirs. Traffic Inspector Jones reported greatly increased automobile traffic. During the evening rush hours Thursday automobiles were lined up solidly for blocks. Downtown garages are reported to he doing a record parking business, as street parking space is more than ever at a premium. Independent bus lines also are reaping a harvest. United States 'District Attorney Albert Ward indicated that no action will be taken Immediately on citing two organizers of the union for contempt of court. The Department -of Justice Is investigating the strike situation, looking toward citation of two individuals for disregarding the preliminary injunction issued last Saturday, whldh prohibited John M. Parker and Robert Armstrong, association vice presidents, from taking any part In influencing the men to strike.

Goodrich and other business men, who formulated the $350,000 Goodrich pool, shall revert back to the contrloutors, Federal Judge Robert C. Baltzell ruled today. The court's ruling sustains the report of Solon J.

Earl Peters, trustee in bankruptcy, to liquidate McCray's debts. Peters said he will appeal to the United States Circuit Court of Ap-1 peals at Chicago. The pool was composed at the time McCray’s financial condition was slipping. McCray Is serving a Federal prison term for using the mails to defraud.
