The acquisition of shares valued at $3,144,750 during the past year, made his personal holdings, aw of Tuesday's New York Stock Exchange closing quotation at 149% total $21,313,500 and those of the Vanderbilt family $38,415,667. The Vanderbilt family, as of Dec. 30, 1926, controlled 236.532 shares compared with 236,189 for the year before. Harold S.

CHICAGO CEREAL OPENING MARKED BY IRREGULARITY Wheat Uneven, Corn Steady to Lower and Oats Slightly Higher. Bn United Press CHICAGO, May 11—Bullish sentlment in wheat was less iiv evidence at the opening of the Chict|go Board of as a result of Tuesday's weak close, and with cables much lower than expected, quotations opened higher to % lower than the previous close. The Canadian crop report received late yesterday, although regarded as bullish, is not expected to be a market factor here. A week or so ago there was promise of increasing outside support that probably would add to the big upturn already made. Since then, outside interest development has been given another setback by iK/litical interference: the foregn demand for cash wheat has fallen off sharply and there is a nrnndse for more favorable weather. Corn opened unchanged to % lower than Tuesday’s close. While corn was not as WVak as wheat yesterday, local traders are still bearish itnd are expected sell on every hard spot. Although weather conditions arc unfavorable, the large visible supply continues to give the market a bearish atmosphere. Oats seem to have more friends than any other grain, yet trading so light that market values are influenced by other grains. Opening prices were > to % higher than the previous close.

COLLINS REFUSES DUVALL DEMAND (Continued From Page 1)

gation of alleged charges of political corruption. With the consent and approval of the court, Arthur GilHorn, attorney general of Indiana, Ralph Kane and former Supreme Court Judge Cause were appointed to assist Mr. Remy in this investigation. “The grand jury adjourned at the close of the term in December, without returning into court any indictments but recommended that :he investigation be continued by the incoming grand jury. "The grand jurors for the present term of court, while pursuing file investigation of these alleged charges of political corruption, were interrupted in*their work by a disclosure made by a member of that body of an attempt to bribe him, by one James Armitage." This incident resulted in an infor- | mation being filed by the prosecuting attorney against James Armitage for contempt of the Criminal Court of Marion County and the grand Jury thereof and a finding of guilty as to Armitage and further in the ! discharge of the jury. “The court then appointed Hon. John W. Holtzman and JCmsley W. Johnson, members of this bar and citizens of high standing in this community, to assist William H. Remy in a further investigation of said charges. “Under the instructions of the rourt they will complete tlieir investigation and bring into this court such affidavits of violation of tile law as the evidence will warrant. “Asa citizen, you have had the right to go before the grand jury and present any evidence you may have as to violations of the law. Unless the matter you refer to would be barred by the statute of limitation you will have ample opportunity to present the matter referred to in your letter, when the grand jury for the July term is impanelled on the first Monday in July.” Conferred With Prosecutors Before making public his answer to the mayor. Collins conferred witli ijemy and Johnson personally and talked by phono with Holtzman. The prosecutors approved it. ".Directing your attention to the recent extensive investigation conducted by two grand juries, covering a period of about eight months, in which certain violations of the law have been mentioned connecting myself and others and by reason of this investigation I have been embarrassed by daily articles appearing in the press throughout the country. At the termination of these two grand juries no true bills were voted. Prosecutor Active “As you perhaps know, the prosecuting attorney of Marion County lias made himself very conspicuous in the investigations. Surrounding himself with aids who beyond any doubt had connections with interests that were and are now extremely unfriendly to my interest, I feel instead of him conducting a straightforward investigation, ns prescribed by law. he went into the matter of hunting and fishing for evidence. “1 have remained silent throughout the entire investigation, having never had the opportunity to appear before the grand jury and present evidence which has reached me, which I believe would seriously in- : volve several people who have In i the past bent every effort to perseI cute me. “If you will pass favorably upon my appeal to you to call a special grand jury and to appoint a fair and ; impartial prosecutor to conduct the investigation I will present to that body information which, in my belief, will prove conclusively that the present prosecuting attorney became a part of a gigantic conspiracy to bring about my ruin. He, In his overzealousness, became an agent of private interests Instead of being a representative of the peoplq and the State, neglecting other duties of his office by failing to conduct the routine business before him. “Gross Malfeasance” “Information has been brought to me which I am ready to present to said grand jury which tends to prove that the prosecuting attorney of Marion County is guilty of gross malfeasance in office. This evidence will further tend to prove that this conspiracy was participated in by Thomas H. Adams and a number of ids cohorts, of secret meetings in Chicago, Evansville and other cities, where instruments were forged and money paid for the testimony of witnesses to testify in this probe. “I also have evidence, both written and verbal, which tends to prove the prosecuting attorney of Marion county is guilty under the corrupt practices act. “Evidence lias been presented to me which shows that certain public officials during the city administration preceding mine appropriated 1 to their own use and to the use of others thousands of dollars worth of valuable property belonging to the city off Indianapolis. Other Candidates “It is also common talk on the street that certain candidates opposing me during the primary under investigation expended in excess of SIOO,OOO. Throughout all of this probe

She knows her reels and lines, does the Duchess of York. On her dominion tour witli the Duke, they stopped off long enough at Tokaanu, New Zealand, to do a little fishing and it was then tint site hooked and landed by herself the seven-pound salmon trout witli which she's pictured here.

no mention of this serious"matter has ever been made by the prosecuting attorney. “This evidence will show that the prosecuting atorney of Marlon County employed investigators lo obtain evidence against me, that they were sent to certain private interests in this city for tlieir salary. I will show that, evidence lias been submitted to the prosecuting attorney of Marlon County involving serious charges against certain public officials which have not been acted on by him. Special Jury “In view of these outstanding facts which I have briefly outlined. 1 respectfully request that you seriously consider the calling of a special grand jury and the appointing of an impartial prosecutor to conduct and investigate these charges.” Remy declared Duvall’s charges were ’V liculous beyond words.” "Someone found himself in hot water and is trying to get out from under,” he said. The prosecutor and his Bids, it is believed, do not intend to file the affidavits until an act of the last Legislature providing that affidavits may bo filed when a grand jury is In session becomes a law. Tills was planned in order that the affidavits mjglit not be attacked liecause they wore file.d during a grand jury term, although no Jury is in session. The new law will not go into effect until all counties acknowledge receipt of the acts. At the earliest the ninety-two counties will not receive them for another week. Even then, according to Secretary of State Frederick Schortemeier, one county might tie up the entire procedure by not sending acknowledgement. To I'rge Early action If this occurs said telegrams will be sent to county clerks urging them to respond immediately or an agent will bo sent ufter the receipts. Copies of the acts have been sent to seventy-eight counties and receipts have been received from fifty. Remy had planned to call more witnesses in the probe today, lie said, but did not know whom they might be. Tuesday he called several, including two mysterious strangers, whose names were not revealed. They spent two and one-half hours in the juryrooni. Their session was accompanied by much hammering on the desks in the room and loud talk. Ot her w\Vit nesses Other tvitnesses were Frank Cones, now member of the board of works and county council; Clyde H. Jones, former Democratic member of the public service commission; John Saulter, whom Duvall, after election, announced he would appoint to the park board but did not do so because the board then in office refused to bo ousted: Joseph R. Morgan, an attorney, and Herman Rikhoff, police chief under Shank. Since the jury was dismissed all witnesses called by the prosecutor are believed to have knowledge of affairs during the Armitage city hall reign and prior and up to Duvall’s present time in office. Duvall's lefter said:

FRENCH BinER I AT HOP FAILURE (Continued From Page 1)

it out a considernHle distance alonjf the prospective route of the fliers in their Paris-New York attempt. The destroyers on the full speed •search are the Erickson, Porter, Patterson. Shaw, Jouett. McDougalL Ammon and Davis. The cutters ore the Tuscorora, Ossipee, Modoc and Tampa. Clarence Chnmberlin and Lloyd Bertaud, American fliers, today planned to ignore warnings France would not wejeome an American flight across the ocean while the fate of Nungcsser and Coll was in doubt. To Depart Saturday The aviators who will attempt to pilot tlieir Bellanca monoplane, Columbia, from New York to Paris announced they would take off Saturday if the weather was good. Charles A. Levine, one of the sponsors pf the flight, said any antiAmerican sentiment abroad was so ill-founded that it could exist only with a few and would pass quickly. However, the United States Ambassador to Franco, Alyton T. Herrick, informed ‘Washington in a carefullyworded n6te that nn attempt by Americans to make the flight while the fate of Nungcsser and Coll was still in doubt might be “misunderstood and misinterpreted.” America Sympathetic * The plight of the flierp has brought a sympathetic response from which resulted the orders to coast guard cutters and airplanes to start the search and \he broadcast from the Navy Department and the Shipping Board to all vessels at sea to be on a lookout. An inquiry was made to the American naval attache at Paris to advise what steps the French government suggests for a search. Demands for the exposure of the liersons responsible for false reports circulated in Paris of the fliers’ arrival had reached the French government itself today. The reports had caused a wild, premature celebration ending in disappointment Demand Probe General Glrod, Chamber of Deputies army commission president, questioned the government in the chamber regarding the source of the reports and asked for an investigation. Deputy Vaillant Cou%irier, a communist, saw an opportunity to attack the government. He charged that tli© government officially had confirmed the news ot the fliers' arrival. ' Paul Painleve, minister of war, explained that he wrote a cable of congratulations for Nungesser and Coll when the Havas Agency reported word had been received from New York that the fliers arrived there, was imminent. The cable was not to be published until the arrival was continued, he said. Slim Hope Is Held Only slim hope was held out today for the safety of Nungesser and Coll. Cold and fog are lessening the chance of rescue. Many believe that unless they were already safely aboard a fishing smack or tramp steamer unequipped with wireless, they must be lost, possibly still in the floating cabin of their plane, possibly under the sea, or even ashore on some frigid island. Despite chances against the fliers, one remembers Harry Hawker and Commander MacKenzie-Grieve, who were prematurely gliven up for dead when they attempted a trans-Atlantic flight in 1919, and of the late Commander Rogers, U. S. N., who floated for days in mid-Pnclfic in a seaplane, ami was rescued with all his crew after his safety had been despaired of. Ships of tw’o nations, the United States Coast Guard and a dozen mcrchant vessels were on the lookbut for the missing plane, but the area to be searched seemed hopelessly enormous.
