Bu United Pres* m .... , NEW YORK, Nov. 17.—Although car loadings for the week ended Nov. 6, showed a decrease of 79,222 from the preceding week, the falling off was largely due to election day holiday. As an increase of 74,564 was shown over the corresponding week of 1925, it was evident that general "business was still running ahead of last year. , This situation found reflection in the continuance of a confident tone in the leading industrials in the early dealings today on the stock exchange. General Electric moved up fractionally to the best levels of the current, movement at responding to the company’s record bookings, which will total approximately $325,000,000 this year, compared with $302,000,000 last year and the previous high record of $317,000,000 in 1920. Score Sharp Gains Tendencies became more pronounced In the general list toward noon and vigorous gains were scored In many representative issues. General Motors threw aside its recent irregular aspect and moved ahead with more decisiveness than it has displayed since the declaration of the x s4 extra. Some buying, which carried the stock up 2% points to 151 %, was attributable to short covering by hears unwilling to pay 75 cents dividends deductable Friday.

WHEAT CONTINUES LOW AT OPENING Fails to Pull Corn From Firm Position. Bv Vnitfd Press CHICAGO, Nov. 17.—Wheat contiued to drop on the Chicago Board of Trade today, but failed to shake the firm position of corn. Wheat .opened \c to lc lower, In sympatic' with the sharply lower Liverpool opening. Liverpool broke on the weakness of Winnipeg;. Liquidation of long wheat and hedging from the Northwest are causing considerable short selling. Bad weather has hampered husking in the corn belt and has resulted In decidedly lighter receipts, having a bracing effect on the corn market, which opened unchanged to %c higher. Tremendous stocks of old corn are still appearing on the market. , Oats, although In a strong statistical position, were influenced by wheat, opening V6c lower on all deliveries.

ATTORNEYSARGUE ON MERGER SUIT * (Continued From Page 1) Company, devoted more than an hour to arguments against Rucker’s move, during which he cited a number of precedents. "The grand jury room Is the proper place for Investigation of these various charges,” Thompson said. “Mr. Rucker seeks to step in and stop the wheel of government. There is no constitutional authority for the court to prevent passage of the law and the same situation exists in regard to the action of the public service commission, for the public service comfnission Is In reality a legislative agency. It Is just a permanent committee of the General Assembly. Thompson contended that the law prevents encroachment hy the judicial and executive departments upon the powers of the legislative depart ment. However, Judge Chamberlin Interrupted an illustration of Thompson's to inform him that the proceedings themselves can be directed in a sense by a rite of prohibition. “But not assertions of ‘information and beliefs’.” State Attorney Arthur L. dilliom retorted. “Information and Belief” Thompson assailed the fact that Rucker’s allegation was couched In terms of "information and belief.” “This action is the most unheard of. unusual petition ever presented In any court to my knowledge,” said Thompson. “Either the public service commission is without jurisdiction and can be permanently enjoined by the court, or the court may regulate the tme or manner of hearing before the commission, according to the theory of Mr. Rucker's brief,” Thompson said. Petitions Filed Another step in the merger battle was the filing late Tuesday by the Indianapolis Federation of Civic Community Clubs of a demand for an evaluation of the two utilities with the findings made public. The petition was filed with the public service commission. From Washington came a denial by Clyde H. Jones, Democratic members of the commission, of charges filed by Rucker. Jones demanded an early trial and dared Rucker to prove his appointment was brought about by the utilities. “I did not seek appointment on the commission,” Jonee said. “The Governor appointed me, as a minority member, solely on personal grounds We were law partners at Lafayette, after he had returned from the war and before he became Governor.” The federation also requested a delay of Tour months before the commission considers the merger and alleges that the commission has no Jurisdiction In the proposed combine Judge Chamberlin refused to proceed with the hearing on Rucker’s petition for an Injunction Tuesday, because he said he was in the midst of a trial of another suit and deferred the hearing until 9:80 a. m. today. Only one person was killed by accidents to trains on railways In Great Britain during 1925.

STEEL, BALDWIN FIRMESISPOIS IN INDUSTRIALS Review Shows Stocks Mart More Than Held Its Own. By E. Walter Modder. NEW YORK. Nov. 17. W’ith money remaining high, but all other known factors more or less favorable. Tuesday's stock market more than held its own, especially In the industrial division. Strength here was bolstered by Steel and Baldwin, two of the firmest spots In the mar ket. held fairly quiet for better part of the day, but toward the close the market'suddenly gained new life and the stock ran up to a new high for the year. Reasons for Rise Various reasons are advanced to account for Baldwin's excellent showing right now. The obvious one is that the equipments are Just coming out of a long dull period and there is every reason to look for a, revival of good buying by the rallr roads in the not distant future. Other stories used to back the movement. Include a revival of the report that the company's Philaoelphia property may he sold to an* ther big corporation, at a price which Insures a very good dividend' for all stock holders. Still another report appears to have gained considerable credences that the W. C. Durant group has assumed a definite position on the long side, disposing of Its General Motors long line on the same operation. Hopes Are Ahead Inasmuch as General Motors has received virtually all the good news which Is to be expected from one company this year while Baldwin's hopes are still ahead of it, this seems a sound switch for a speculative position. * With sustained demand around 153, the top for the current movement. steel common held very well. Before making a definite prediction an extra dividend it would be well to wait and sea how next year’s steel business shapes up. Money continued at 5 per cent which is not abnormal for this time of the year, but which Is not likely to last more than a day or so longer. At the same time there is a slightly firmer demand for time funds which is a bit more significant. CHECK ON GROWTH OF CITY POPULACE IS CRIMEREMEDY Pedagogue Urges Slum Clean-up—Blames Overcrowded Conditions. BKRKKIvEY, Cal., Nov. 17.—The rapid growth of great American cities must be checked and their population decentralized. This is the answer to the crime problem, according to Prof. Leonard Sewall Smith, professor of city planning of the University of Wisconsin, recently a visitor here. Unlike chambers of commerce boosters. Prof. Smith sees In the great metropolitan centers only menaces. He quotes Dean Roscoe Pound of the Harvard law school as saying that the main cause for the failure of criminal jurisprudence is the abnormal growth of cities. Slums, he concludes. must go. Make Slums Impossible. "Community chests barely touch the real problem which continues to grow In size and seriousness,” he said. “Neither will replacing slums by reasonable housing solve the problem. The cost is prohibitive and rehousing slum districts always unhouses many families. The real remedy Is found not In attempts to cure slums, but rather by creating city conditions so that slums are impossible. “The proper housing of industrial workers is one of the greatest world problems, and while nearly every other country is making progress we in America act as though industrial housing problems did not exist. 'Let the worker come to the city like a turtle with his house on his hack,' seems to be the motto of our Industrial leaders." Orercrowifing Canse. Crime, bred in the slums, traffic congestion, taxes, fire hazards, health*—these and other problems are the result of overcrowding cities, said Professor Smith, problems that can only bs met by decentralizing In-

NO SPOUSE FROM ‘4oo’ FOR YOUNG PRINCE OF JAZZ Financier's Son, Barely 18, Airs Night Club Observations. Bu XEJL Brrrfrtt NEW YORK, Nov. 17. —The show girl type for a wife! Looks, bralna, but no ritzy airs! This is the decree of the 18-year-old crown prince of jazzlana. and it is based on observation of all kinds of girls up ajid down the scale. Young Roger Wolfe Kahn Is looking them over from the pill-box pedestal where he rules with a baton over his sleek syncopators in Broadway's newest, smartest and highest priced dance club. Born Social Registerite. As the son of Otto H. Kahn, mil Ifonaire hanker and patron of classicism tn art. Roger was bom to the purple of social register enrollment. When he was 15 he renounced that formal birthright to seek anew world ct jazz distinction. And he has made them all come around and like It. "Tm no high filer, myself." - says this slender master of the revels. “There’s a fascination tn night life, a soul In It and a voice all its own. I’ve seen enough, though, and Tm pretty sick of it—so fhr as I’m a part of It. But I am trying to put it Into my music, I want the writing of music to be real life. Won’t Marry In 400. "There’s no hurry about getting married. You get quite a slant on matrimony from the orchestra stand In a night club. But when I do. It won’t be one of the four hundred. I’ll take the show girts type every time.” Roger, biases sophisticated, thdteates his $5-a-head. guests with a scornful gesture, “Look at ’em —thetr brains are in their feet. Take away their money and they’d starve to death, “Why, their Idea of a good joke is to ask me to play ‘Baby Face.’ I was 18 last month! Well, It don’t bother me: they pay for it.” “Baby face, you’ve got such a pretty ba-by face—— ” The music brings four-score “guests,” very much under the Influence o* harmony. to caper over the mirrored floor, a whirling of legs, colors and scintillating gowns. Intermission, and Roger proceeds to talk about himself. He is neither loquacious nor reticent. He is just a slightly Immature youth who finds htniself in the spotlights of musical and managerial genius and doesn't know quite what to say.' Started With Violin. “When I was a kid—that isc when I was s—the5 —the folks started me to studying the violin, I liked it well enough, hut I had such a curiosity about other instruments that. I didn’t get along so very welt, *T never did Intend to follow- dad> business, though he didn't know tt when he was hiring about a dozen music teachers for me. I didn't like business and I didn’t like this goshawful high society and 1 didn't care about having a lot of money—though I suppose T will have a few millions handed me some day, “Well. I started writing a Jot of pieces. After Id learned all the Instruments there were, I got my first band and contract to play, Dad and mother were pretty sore about It. but 1 wouldn't quit.” Nine other dance bands bear the name of Roger Kahn, although he doesn't appear personally with them. They atone are making htm moderately wealthy—they netted htm $40,000 tn the past two years. Besides that, there are royalties on his songs and the profits from his new jazz cluh.

Chiba Laboratory-^ Small wonder that a sly smite of satisfaction already has stolen across the face of hie great financier father. ’’But,” Bays Roger, lighting a fresh dustries and spreading them Into the rural districts. Professor Smith cites the Garden City of Uetchworth, England, as a model for America. Here workers are housed In garden-surrounded cottages near the factories far from the city, LONGER LIFE IS SEEN l)r. Mayo Rays Microscope lias Added Thirty-Eight Years. By -V PA Srrnire ROCHESTER, Minn., Now, 17. — The future hope *>f the human race lengthening Its life span ties in the microscope, according to Dr, William Mayo, the noted surgeon, “The microscope has already added thirty-eight years to the average life of man,” he said. “The ultra-micro-scope. or more powerful microscope of the future, may raise the span of life to seventy years or more.” Dr. Mayo- laid stress on the value of religion tn healing, saying Its appeal to the emotions must not be Ignored.
