PORK MARKET UNDERGOES CUT

SEVERAL SPECIAL - ISSUES CLIMB TO NEW HIGH LEVELS Pressure on Few Groups— Firm Tone in Reprentative Shares.

Average Stock Prices

Average of tnenty industrials Monday was 171.67. off .39. Average of twenty rails was 133.91, up .31. Average of forty bonds was 97.55. off .01. Bu United Press NEW YORK, May 24.—While a few groups were under pressure on the New York Stock Exchange several special issues soared into new high ground and a firm tone was displayed by representative shares. Baldwin ran up more than 7 points to anew high, while Pittsburgh Coal and Pullman shot ahead in excellent demand. Houston Oil moved higher, as did Case Thrashing Machine, American Smelting and International Harvester. Rails were mixed, with Erie rising sharply. Smaller Rails Active While most of the standard Investment issues did little more than mark time, traders took in hand a number of specialties and moved up. Stocks of some of the Ppmaller railroads which may or may not be brought into mergers now' planning were also active and strong, notably Rutland preferred and Chicago Great Western. Several new highs were recorded. Pittsburgh Coal made anew top for the year at 45, up over 7 points, W'hile Baldwin advapced through 219, anew record figure. Equipments generally were firm, reflecting the improving outlook for railroads buying of new cars and engines. U. S. Pipe Strong Development of the natural gas business in the Southwest with attendant necessary new' lines involving large amounts of pipe was reflected in strength displayed by United States Cast Iron Pipe which sold above 245. This company will undoubtedly share in a good portion of the business. Several lines are being developed in Texas and Oklahoma districts, including major units running from Amarillo, Texas, to Kansas City.

A speedy, snappy-looking roadster bearing the name of Cliff Durant, millionaire race driver, was brought without .ceremony from the Speedway and is housed today in Huff's' Garage on 10-. Market St., with Sheriff Hawkins holding the claim check. The car was attached by the RherifT after suit was filed in Superior Court Two in which William P. Herod, attorney, seeks fees amounting to $1,114.22 from the driver* * According to Herod, he defended Durant in two law suits brought against the racer after his cari left the track here in 1923, injuring two persons and fatally injuring a.third. ■The attorney alleges his bill against Durant for services stands unpaid. Durant was at the track, tuning up for Monday's annual 500-mile race. An intelligent workingman has a vocabulary of 5,000 words, while an educated man should know 8,000 to 10,000 words.

In the Cotton Market

T feel that some of the responsibility is off m.v shoulders. You are as good a judse. or perhaps a better one. than lof what to do with it. W'hen I sneak of taking profits.' I have in mind nothin* more than the day, or at most a forty-ei*ht-hour period.

7 In the Sugar Market

(By Thomson It McKinnon) V NEW YORK. May 24.—Transactions in sugar futures Monday were confined chiefly to small lots. The changes from an active to a dull market within a short space of ,ime has been comparative to conditions in the trade, where prices are holding up. but new business is on a small scale. Until the demand for granulated improves sufficiently to make itself felt in the prices for refined and raws the futures market is apt to be a series of small alternate rallies and declines. But the outlook Is encouraging and I believe futures should be bought whenever they sell off.

Saturday morning he plans to crawl into his plane, circle Paris a few times to let the people look at their idol, and then wing north to Brussels. Monday he will cross the channel to London. Despite the offers of steamship lines to give free passage to Lindbergh’s mother if she cares to join him in Paris, ho does not expect her to come here. “We haven't another seat in the plane,” he explained, evidently having in mind the possibility of his mother making an airplane tour of Europe with him. ' She probably couldn't arrive before I start.” Bushels of Mail Lindbergh made an effort to read his mail but it now’ fills four bushel baskets and overflows on the floor of '’Ambassador Herrick's study. So after noting there were countless Invitations, messages of congratulation and many freak notes of most every sort, Lindbergh joined the ranks of those who let a professional secretary read their mail and accepted the services of such a helper. The secretary, with a staff of assistants will answer all letters before the flier leaves Europe. Guarded by Police Lindbergh lunched at noon at the American Club at the Hotel Ambassador. Police reserves were required to keep the crowds of curious in order. He will visit today the ministry of marine and then go to Le Bouiget' Flying Field, where he will meet all of the flying officers in the region of Paris who will gather there to receive his special thanks for the way they saved him from the crowd the night he arrived. This evenlrffc he will go to the American embassy again where Ambassador Herrick will be the host at an elaborate dinner with many prominent Americans as guests. Wants to See Paris Lindbergh today wanted to see Paris and to fly over the city, preferably in his own* Ryan monoplane which carried him from New York to Paris. He hadn’t been up since he arrived The broken tailskid and the wings, from which strips of fabric were torn by souvenir hunters, have been repaired, but it was found the pressure of the crowd had bent the fuselage framework. It was doubtful whether the framework could be repaired today. It was understood Lindbergh would fly to Brussels Saturday and thence to London Monday, and might. visit one or two other capitals. If he accepted all the invitations extended on behalf of the nations, he would have to make a W'orld tour. Tentative plans called for the flier’s return to the United States on the U. S. S.

MANAGER FORCES BEING ORGANIZED (Continued From Page I) a meeting sponsored by the Boosters Club of Bethany Christian Church, Minnesota and Quill Sts., tonight. Indianapolis citizens have never been called upon to vote on a more important issue than the proposal to adopt the city manager form of government. Gates declared before the South Side Boosters Club at Garfield Park Baptist Church Monday night. "Tlie best interests of tlie city should be the only consideration when Indianapolis residents go to the polls June 21 to decide whether we abolish the old Federal system of political control and substitute the city manager form,” Gates said. Gates, former president of tlie Indianapolis Real Estate Board, is a member of the city manager executive committee urging the new .form of government for Indianapolis. “Never to my knowledge have the citizens of Indianapolis been called upon to correctly solve a problem having so much to do with their happiness, prosperity, health and protection of their lives and property as Is involved in tlie proposed change of our form of city government,’ Gates said. Gatds urged voters to express their desires at tlie polls, “intelligently, honestly and without prejudice." The speaker pointed out "there is no political way of building a street or sewer.” “No matter what party wins, it is handicapped at tlie start by the loss of confidence of the losing party. We talk of boosting Indianapolis, bringing new industries, protecting present industries, providing more and continuous v/ork for labor, all of which are desirous .and necessary if we arc to keep in advance of other cities,” Gates continued. “However, we must not lose sight of the fact that to sustain and attain these objects the best asset is good, honest, impartial and efficient government, a government in which we all have implicit confidence“Do you recall i\ny administration in recent years that has enjoyed such confidences?” Gates asked. Cites Legality of Plan Gates cited opinions of prominent attorneys that tlie Indiana statute is sufficient to permit operation of the manager form. The speaker declared the best advertisement for the city manager form is the fact that cities which once adopted it have not returned to the political system, declaring the new form superior. "It is encouraging to note,” Mr. Sates said, "that throughout this campaign no one has questioned the sincerity, honesty of purpose and earnestness of the sponsors of this movement. Never before in the history of Indianapolis has a more representative group of citizens united themselves to help our city.” Franklin Vonnegut, finance chairman, announced the finVtnce committee would be enlarged and a plea made for funds to aid the movement. Meredith Nicholson, author, made a plea for the citizens to “remove the suspense of uncertainty surrounding the political activities in the State for three years,” before the Service Club Monday, at the Lincoln. “The city manager form is the coming municipal government and as such should receive the assistance it deserves. I have studied the new type thoroughly and am convinced it is everything Us backers claim.” said Nicholson. Time to Change “Indianapolis and Indiana politics have been the talk of the world for three years. It is time to get back to Americanism and fundamentals of government.
