PORKERS, LAMBS CONTINUE UPWARD CLIMB

1 APPREHENSION OVER REACH IN AFTERNOON TRADE Setback Accepted as Due in Wake of Recent Gains. fin United Press NEW YORK, March 2.—Constructive interests were not apprehensive regarding the reaction in Tuesday’s late trading, feeling that a setback was in order in view of the sweeping character of recent gains and $43,000,000 increase in brokerage loans shown in the latest report of the Federal Reserve Board. Further corrective processes were undertaken in early dealings and additional recession occurred among speculative leaders. General Motors declined to new low on the movement at 166 off 2 y a from the previous close. Steel common to 159 off % and Baldwin to 193 off 2. Noon Recovery Shorts took to their heels in the late morning when rallying tendencies became more aggressive and defrom this source gave impetus recovery in the general list abound noon. Pere Marquette was a feature of outstanding strength in the rail group, running up 5% to 126%. This spurt derived impulse from the belief that an extra dividend of $2 would be authorized at today's meeting in addition to the regular $1.50 payment. Moreover, the directors are expected to seek permission from the Interstate Commerce Commission to declare a 25 per cent stock dividend. Changes Probable Recent strength in American ice has been based on belief that directors will consider a split-up in common stock, probably on a basis of four to one of the present 105,000 shares. It also is probable that the rate of dividends on the new stock will aggregate more than that paid on the present stock, which is SB. There are 150,000 shares of preferred stock, which have the same voting power as the common. The late President Wesley Oler was generally regarded as the largest preferred stock holder.

CORN OFF: OATS, WHEAT ADVANCE More Friendly Buying Side. Bu United Press CHICAGO, March 2.—With a majority of operators more friendly toward the buying side of grains, due to the general belief that the private reports on farm reserves of grain, combined with the heavy disappearance on farms since harvest, had furnished the necessary incentive to get the markets out of the rut, wheat opened %c higher than yesterday’s olose on the Chicago Board of Trade today. Liverpool was higher than expected, and Buenos Aires opened higher after being closed for a twoSay holiday. The farm reserve report showing the very poor quality of the new corn crop for feeding purposes turned sentiment more bullish than it has been for some time. Prices opened unchanged to %e lower than the previous close. It is the impression of many of the trade, however, that yesterday’s upturn in corn was due almost entirely to covering by shorts. This, they said, meant that the technical position of the corn market was greatly weakened. Oats are showing more independent strength than of late and the trade is inclined to expect further advances. Opening prices were y g c higher than Tuesday’s close. Provisions opened unchanged.

IMPEACH JUDGE, COMMJTTEE SAYS (Continued From Page 1) of court records sent to Judiciary A Committee by Prosecutor Davis. The committee directed Davis to supply the committee with this information at the public hearing Monday evening upon the petitions of j Muncie citizens for Dearth's im- j peachment. Davis declared that when he had | told Judge Dearth lie could prove at least twenty-five cases of jury irregularities since Jan. 1, 1927, and asked if the judge would discharge the jury commissioners who drew the jurors, Dearth said he would ! not. Reports Thirty Cases Davis today delivered a list of thirty, instead of only twenty-five cases of apparent jury irregularities in Dearth’s court since the first of this year. . In addition Davis sent official record notations to substantiate the charge that Jacob Cavanaugh, one of (lie jury commisisoners, was not a freeholder, and therefore disqualified, when lie avhs appointed by Dearth Nov. 26, 1922. Davis also submitted r'ygotds that on Dee. 29, 1922, Dearth proceeded to qualify Cavanaugh by deeding to him a plot' of ground, 20x20 feet in the Negro quarter of Muncie valued at not more than S2O. This tAventy dollars’ wortli of property which the judge himself transferred to the jury commissioner, Anally gave the commissioner the right to call himself a freeholder. Davis also sent to the committee proof that the aunt of Pete BarloAV, charged with murder of Edgar Vorhees in a coroner’s verdict only about two Aveeks ago, was drawn on the grand jury which was to investigate the Barlow charge. He further submitted that Avives of three policemen were drawn for this grand jury at a time when the police department was being charged in the press of Muncie with openly protecting criminals. No Indictment All but the Avife of one policeman were excused and did not serve upon the grand jury which investigated | the Barlow charge, but, Davis pointed out, an indictment was not returned against Barlow. | Cases of persons being draAvn for jury service more than once within the same year, Avhen the law plainly states that no one can serve Avitliin the same year, were cited by Davis. The grounds upon Avhicli Muncie citizens seek to impeach Dearth include the suppression of free speech ' through Dearth's seizure of the , neAvspapers and threatening of j thirty-eight newsboys in his court ; Feb. 19 because he did not like an article Avhich the paper, the Muncie Post-Democrat, printed about him. and the alleged irregularities in jury selection. Officials’ Wives Drawn Davis’ report to the committee also includes a number of instances of wives of A’arious county officials [ being drawn on grand and petit juries. The data which Prosecutor Davis sent showed that on the “Pete Barlow” grand jury were draAvn, among others: Mrs. Henry Peterman, wife of the night police sergeant. Mrs. Arthur Jones, Avife of the chief of police. Mrs. John Readle, wife of a detective sergeant. Mrs. Sheridan Barlow,’ Avife of Pete Barlow's uncle. All but Mrs. Peterman were excused. She served on the jury which did not return an indictment against Barlow.
