WEAK IONE IS • DISPLAYED BY , LIST, AT OPEN Week Begins With Pessimism Prevailing—Steel Outlook Better.

Average Stock Prices

Average of twenty industrial stocks for Saturday was 1 51.19. up .HP. Average of twenty rails. 110.68. up .7'!. Average of forty bonds, 94 .82. up_.ol. Bu United Press NEW YORK, Got. It.—Probaly the most significant development in business news over the week-end was the announcement of an increase of 51,174 tons in unfilled orders of the United States Steel Corporation, compared with a decrease of 60,200 tons in the previous month. However, Saturday’s further sharp break in stock prices caused great pessimist..' in professional quarters regarding the immediate outlook for the market. It also induced considerable selling from different parts of the country which poured into the stock exchange at the opening today, creating an extremely weak condl- • in early trading. eel was forced down to new low ground on the movement at 142*4, off %, while Allied Chemical broke 3% to 125*41 General Motors, 1% to 151*4; Dupont, 3% to 322*4; Hudson, I*4 to 52*4, and American Can, 114 to 48*4. Firmer at Noon Buying of better character was reported in the late morning and stocks developed a firmer tone around noon. Experienced observers pointed out that professinals working for lower prices usually tried to make the market look as weak as possible at the week-end to induce liquidation orders from the interior over Sunday. The maneuver .was said to have been accorded considerable success and large blocks of stocks thrown overboard during the morning were believed to have strengthened the technical position of the speculative structure. This view was given weight by the ralylng tendencies which developed in industrial leaders around noon. General Motors rebounded 1% from its low of 143*4 and Steel a point from 140%, while other pivotal issues improved.

In the Sugar Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW IORK. Oct. ll.—The Journal of commerce, commenting on conditions in the refined sugar market, states this morning that caoacity operations for all Octooer insured without any new business. This suggests tho maintainence. at least, of approximately the current price level. I think it is reaso.iablo to expect still further improvement and favor tho purchase of futures cn recessions.

In the Cotton Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK. Oet 11.—I no longer see anything alarming in the cotton situation. The price is hard on the farmer, but by the same token there are big profits in it for the middlemen and presumably for the ultimate consumer, although retailers are not cutting jirices to any extent as yet.

DEMOCRATS WILL DISCUSS GRAFT Not to Bring Any New Charges, However. Democratic County candidates will discuss in their campaign speeches, charges of graft and corruption in Indiana made by Thomas H.

The decision was announced at a meeting of Democratic attorneys Saturday night at the Indiana Democratic Club, called by County Chairman Leroy J. Keach. Former Mayor John W. Holtzman, candidate for State Senator from Marion and Johnson Counties, opinion, as follows: “I believe that this investigation, will reveal what the Democrats have always known —that there was enough fraud in the last election to elect the entire Republican State ticket with the possible exception of one man, but if the Democratic candidates emphasize this matter too strongly it will look like a Democratic movement rather than an exposure of Republicans by Republicans.” SOUTH BEND TWINS DIE Medical Science Pondering Over Strange Make-Up. Bu United Press MINNEAPOLIS. Oct. 11.—Medical science today was pondering over the strange make-up of the bodies of Bessie and Lucy Medich, the "Siamese twins” of South Bend, Ind., who died here. A post-mortem examination of the bodies revealed the twins had complete separate bodies with the exception of one organ—the bladder. This, the doctors said, explained why one of the babies remained healthy while the other was at the point of death. Bessie, the physicians said, died of blood poisoning and shock. They attributed the blood poisoning directly to the bladder, which allowed toxic poisons to filter into Bessie’s body after Lucy’s death. The twins were born in May of this year and physicians were unanimous in their opinions at that time that they could not survive for very long. METHODISTS ANSWERED Bu United Press WASHINGTON, Oct. 11.—Answering the Methodist Church temperance board's recent assertion that governmental liquor regulation in Canada is a failure, the association against the prohibition amendment has issued a telegram from the secretary of the Moderation League in Alberta, saying the act there is "working well,” and denying there exists in that province a moonshine liquor problem.

Then the father was arrest* and. He had not moved from his chair, where he smoked and read the papers. “She nagged me almost to death for years,” he said. "She was always finding fault. Today she complained because I didn't hang up my coat and said I used too much sugar for dinner. I got mad. I picked up a broom and hit her over the head with the handle. Then I grabbed a chair and hit her twice. She screamed and fell near the couch. Tht-n I went for my son.” PHILANTHROPIST DEAD Bu United Press NEW YORK, Oct. 11.—Miss Louisa Lee Schuyler, pioneer woman philanthropist and founder of the New York State Charities Aid Association, died Sunday at 88.

TRIP OF AGENT TO SEE ‘STEVE’ PROVES PUZZLE Maroney Will Not Talk, Watson Denies He Sent Him. Who ordered a Department of Justice agent from Indianapolis to interview D. C. Stephenson at the Indiana State prison at Michigan City? And what was the subject on which the agent wanted to obtain information? The agent himself, John J. Maroney. in accordance with the rules of the department, refused to comment on his visit to the State prison. He was met by a Times reporter at the prison just as he finished his interview with Stephenson. Will Not Comment “I refuse to comment,” was his answer to the questions. However, in Washington, Oscar Luhrlng, assistant attorney general, early Saturday morning indicated an Investigation of Stephenson’s alleged charges of “framed” indictments against the State highway commission was under way. Later he and J. Edgar Hoover, Department of Justice head, denied that this was a fact. And the United States district attorney here is said to be unawr#re of any investigation. Denial by Watson Senator James L. Watson at the Methodist Hospital, where he is recovering from auto injuries received Sunday, denied knowing that Maroney had been ordered to see Stephenson. Thomas Adams, Vincennes, (Ind.) publisher, who has made publi" charges of graft and corruption In State, county and city officialdom, said he had noted a Federal agent went to the prison to “stick his nose In the thing.” “I doubt if it was within his province to do this," Adams stated. “I must ask Washington authorities why this was done over my head, without asking me." HINKY DINKYIS SUNG AGAIN (Contiiinuetl From Page I) ies singing the ballad of Mademoiselle of ArmentierreS, in the same manner in which they marched through the villages of France. It was the same colorful legion convention of years past with the dramatic background of days when life was a matter of chance and glory rose up out of the mud of France. Two Important Questions At the formal session there were only two questions of prime importance—whether the legion will go to Paris for its convention next year despite recent anti-American agitation abroad and whether it will draft General John J. 1 milling •© commander. Pershing has indicated a disinclination to serve but there were department groups in full sympathy, with the district of Columbia legion department in its intention to make Pershing the unanimous choice, despite his wishes. The half dozen active candidates for the commandership have privately agreed to withdraw in case the convention decides in the end that Pershing should be the choice. Election will be Friday. Meanwhile delegates rehearse the times of France. There are five policemen at every corner along Broad St., but leglonalres said It was the quietest convention they have seen In seven years past. So far no M. P.’s have been needed. One hundred and six Legion bands were here. Most of them played two songs, “Hinky Dinky Parley Vous," and “The Old Gray Mare.” Joseph Williams, California, received a telegram that he was the father of triplets. The celebration in a downtown hotel lobby c aused police to think there was a riot. Several hundred llooslors were In Philadelphia for the convention. Tuesday in the annual parade, the Indiana veterans will dispense 20,000 bottles of Pluto water from a float, the gift of Torn Taggart. Loganspor’s Legion Band will also participate. State Commander Clarence Jackson of Newcastle was named chairman of the Indiana delegation and John H. Klinger of Indianapolis adjutant.
