PORKERS LOSE ANOTHER 15 CENTS

,STOCK MARKET OPENS HIGH ON SHORTCOVERING Caused by Demonstration of High Rate of Business Activity. Average Stock Prices Av^ra fro of twenty industrial stocks for Wednesday was 151.87, up 2.52. Average of twenty rails. 1 18.77, up 1.54. Average of forty bonds. 1)5.15, off .02. Bu United Preen NEW YORK, Oct. 28.—The Wall Street Journal’s financial review today says: An extensive short interest was hut in a decidedly nervous frame of mind by the vigorous character of Wednesday's rally and further ap prehension was created among the bears by freight traffic statistics for the week ended Oct. 16, showing that railroads handled the largest volume of business In the history of the country in that period. Car loadings aggregated 1,210,163, exceeding the ■previous week by 25,301 cars and the week last year by 104,154 cars. This conclusive demonstration of the high rate of business activity throughout the country caused hurried short covering in early dealings of bear contracts, based on the idea that trade was receding. Steel common pushed Into new high ground on the recovery at 14114, up % from the previous close, and General Motors at 15114, up a point. Pennsylvania was exceptionally active at The best levels since 3917, around 57, on country-wide inveptment buying induced by the increase in the 6 per cent dividend to a 7 per cent basis. Stocks scored further vigorous recoveries in the late morning under the leadership of General Motors and U. S. Steel. The latter pushed into new high ground on the current recovery at 142, up 114 from the previous close, while General Motors sold at 152%, up 214. Considerable selling took advantage of this strength, however, on the theory that the market would be irregular until after election. Warner Bros, was under pressure. dropping 2% to 43%. Persistpn* offerings of this issue have been encouraged by reports that negotiations had been broken off for the use of the vitaphone in Famous Players string of theaters. Announcement of the development of a\ new talking movie backed by Radio Corporation, would naturally result in theater owners waiting to see which machine is best before committing themselves.

Oct. 28.—Concerted attempts to force the market througn the old low were failures Wednesday and last prices were highest. Thursday and Friday are supposed to be the days farmers sell cotton. I do not think the idea is anything more than a local superstition. Just as I said Wednesday, when you buy around 12 cents you have the trade buying to protect you. (By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK. Oct. 28. —It Is evident that the sugar futures market is in need of something new and of at consructtve ohyacter to bring it out of the rut iifto which it has recently drifted. A resumption of buying by refiners would he a verv good thing. The latest reports from the European markets indicate that for the ' present little dependence can be put upon this source of demand. Domestic refiners should soon come into the market for their November supplies. In the meantime I don't look for much change in price* in either direction.

NO FEATURED GRAIN OPENING Wheat 1-4 Lower, Corn up 1-8 and Oats Unchanged. Flu United Press CHICAGO, Oct. 28.—Sentiment was so mixed on the Chicago Board of Trade, that it was unable to cause any appreciable change in grain prices. Wheat opened unchanged to Vic lower. Despite the fact that the British coal situation again seems hopeless, Liverpool was easier on liquidation. This and the summery weather in the Northwest caused the slight dip. ' Locals are bullish in the corn pit for the moment, and that cereal opened unchanged to V H e high. The flow of old grain to the market has assumed more moderate proportions. Oats opened unchanged’, but will go above Wednesday’s close if the major pits display any strength. Provisions opened lower. Chicago Grain Table . —Oct. 28— WHEAT— Prev. High. Low. 11:00. close.

HYPNOTISM ENTERS INTO FEDERAL CASE Lawyer Admits Putting Clien t Asleep to Trick Detective — Says He Did It to Learn Evidence.

A reference to hypnotic influence featured the examination of a jury in the case of William, alias Walter, M. Smith of Princeton, today in Federal Court. United States Attorney Albert Ward asked prospective jurors if it would influence their decision if they ld&rned hypnotism had been used in the case. In asking the question Ward indiDUVALL ADMITS* KLAN CONFAB (Continued From Page I) member of the Klan (at a district meeting of Republicans prior to the State convention) to present a resolution to the State convention to indorse Senator Watson as Vice President of the United States. Tells of Slate He said the Klan had a regular slate which was most of the Republic ticket. The resolutions for Watson were adopted by a number of the district meetings. “Some member of the Klan told me we were under obligations to Watson because he had gone down the line for us,' 1 Myers said. He said this was connected with the recent ousting of Bossert because "we thought we had paid our debt to Watson and then were informed we, had to do so again this spring.” Myers said the first decisive step taken toward removing Bossert was at Springfield, HI., when Dr. Hiram W. Evans was present to attend the chartering of a Ku-Klux Klan of Illinois. Three Hoosiers There Three Indianians, W. Smith, Joseph Huflington and Robert F. McNay. attended and conferred with Evans on the return trip. Myers testified to attending a meeting January at Indianapolis to elect a successor to Bossert. “They didn't allow us to nominal*? a man nor did they follow the K. K. K. constitution," he said. Myers said W. Lee Smith had been named and they were quieted down when they attempted to nominate Major Hite of the Volunteers of America. He said their spokesman was ordered to his seat by Dr. Evans. Myers said Dr. Evans announced Bossert was too ill to hold the office of grand dragon. The witness said Bossert was not ill. Joe Huffington. Alfred Sanders and Smith were in Washington the day Bossert resigned, Myers said. Met in Jim’s Office

He said Paul Brewer, at a meeting in Indianapolis, told of meetings of Klansmen in Jim Watson’s office in Washington* after Bossert resignel Referring to Senator Robinson, Indianapolis, Myers said he attended a meeting at which time A. A. Anthes said Robinson had attended a “closed” meeting of the Klan and had made a speech there. The next witness called was James V. Bolen of Anderson, Ind., former grand kligraph of the Indiana K. K. K. Bolen was before Reed last week. Bolen said Mayor Males of Evansville, Huffington, W. Lee Smith, R. F. McNay and Duvall drew S4OO for a trip to Washington about the time Walter Bossert resigned. The .expenses were ordered paid by Smith. The trip was made to see about getting Charles Orhison appointed as corporation counsel for Indianapolis, Bolen said lie was tn'd by Smith. Bolen said at the conference in his office, Huffington claimed credit for ‘delivering" Mayor Males at Evansville and that May was successful In "delivering’’ Mayor Duvall of Indianapolis. He also said Huffington claimed he got his own bodyguard appointed in the prohibition department, because he had influence with Watson. He also claimed credit, according to Bolen, that he was successful in getting Harry Rowbottom elected to Congress from the First District. Returning to the Washington trip Bolen said Bossert went with part of the delegation. He said a second trip was made by a delegation including W. Lee Smith, Huffington and Sanders. “The second trip was held a secret from me because of my friendship to Bossert,” he said;

Bossert was again called upon to testify. In Chicago last week he was a somewhat reluctant witness but It Is expected that Reed will question him thoroughy concerning the meeting In Washington, between Evans and Watson. Others who probably wiy testify today Include Milton Elrod. Jr., editor of the Fiery Cross and later connected with the Democratic national comn ittee; the Rev. A. P. Renn, Klan lecturer and revivalist, who was an unsuccessful candidate for Congress in the last primary. It Is problematical whether Reed will again delve Into the charges made by Clyde Walt), Republican State chairman, that international hankers raised $8,000,000 fund for the support of World Court candidates. Walb stated that Marous Winnings. Elwood, Ind., had eorresponjlende showing 800 such bank-ers-had subscribed SIO,OOO each for the purpose of defeating World C ourt and League of Nations candidates.

cated alleged hynotism used by Robert Stewart Lee, attorney for Smith, would he brought up in the trial.

HEARING ON SANITATION LEVY‘JOKE’ Set Wednesday, While Taxes Must Be Paid in by Monday. “What's the use?” exclaimed members of the' State tax board today when they set 'next Wednesday to hear "merits" of the 1926 tax levy for the Indianapolis sanitary district. The joke of it all is that city taxes collected by this levy of 5.5 cents must be paid in not later than next Monday, making any revision of the duplicates a physical impossibility. The latest hearing on the sanitary levy problems was set "in harmony with orders of the courts,” declared Tax Chairman John J. Brown in explanation. Here Is the story, as he relates it: A year ago the sanitary board placed a 7-cent tax levy after compiling Its budget. City Controller Joseph L. Hogue nnd Mayor Lew Shank reduced the levy to 5.5 cents nnd advertised it thusly. The city council, however, boosted the levy to 6.5 cents, but Shank vetoed the ordinance, fixing the levy at 5.5 cents. Over-riding the veto, city council again fixed a 6.5-cents levy. The vigilant Indiana Taxpayers' Association appealed the levy to the State tax board, which set the figure at 5.5 cents as originally advertised, acting on advice of Attorney General Arthur )j. Gllliom. The sanitary district then obtained an order from Superior Judge T. J. Moll ordering the tax board to review the case “on Its merits.” Pending an appeal to State Supreme Court, the tax hoard paid no further attention to the situation. Supreme Court affirmed Moll's decision recently and denied the tax board a rehearing. Angered at the turn of events. Brown declared today, “This decision opens the way to publish a low rate and burn 'em up with an excessive rate later. It is another way to open the door to fraud.” HELD AFTER STABBING Man in Custody Following Alleged Motor Ride Row. Police have arrested John A.
