PRICE MOVES MIXED;STOCK TREND VAGUE Market Featured by Continuance of Bull Attack on Colorado Fuel.

Average Stock Prices

Average of twenty industrials Saturday •was 168.04, unchanged. Average of twenty rails was 135.04, up .03. Average of forty bonds was 86.86, off .03. Bu United Press NEW YORK, June 27.—The new ..week in the stock market started oH today with price movements too mixed to define a definite trend in any individual group. The feature of early trading was the continuance of bull operations against Colorado Fuel, which opened at 90, up VA. Pivotal issues such as Steel and General Motors were not in very heavy demand at the start, the former not appearing on ,the tape until more than ten minutes after the opening gong. Steel gained Vs on its opening quotation of 121, while General Motors slipped off % to 198%. Later, however, a little support appeared for motors and a slight recovery was made to 199%. List Uneven Stocks started the new week in irregular fashion, reflecting the bewilderment existing in the speculative mind regarding the immediate course of prices. Rails showed a slightly better tone, reflecting publication over Sunday of favorable earning statements. Prices broke badly around noon when selling swept over the entire market. Steel cqmmon broke to new low ground on the movement at 120, off %, while General Motors dropped 3% to 196; Baldwin 3% to 226%; American Smelting 3% to 151%; Hudson 1% to 80, and Mack Truck 2% to 99%. Rumors Heard Reports were widespread that the brokerage loan statement due at the close would set forth another increase. These rumors encouraged bear forces to push selling operations with great aggressiveness. With' speculators in a nervous state, a large number of stop loss orders had been placed under the market and when these were caught the decline picked up volume substantially.

URGES ATTACK ON PROSECUTOR Accused Vigo Commissioner Would Hit Back. Bu J’uihft prr** TERRE HAUTE. Ind., June 27. On the heels of grand jury indictment of Vigo County’s road superintendent and his assistant and articles of impeachment returned against the entire board of county commissioners. County Commissioner Frank T. Drake today urged the board to bring impeachment proceedings against Prosecutor Will A. Church. Drake declares the prosecutor evoked an obsolete law against the board and that the board should use the same law in asking his impeachment. The law, Drake says, makes the county commissioners responsible for rigid enforcement of the law and declares the prosecutor should be called to account for enforcement here. He mentioned particularly the liquor law. The old law, which Drake says is obsolete, made it necessary for county commissioners to have personal knowledge of each claim they approved. This is literally impossible Drake said, asserting commissioners have in recept years approved bills where a fl. davits testified to their correctness. The commissioners, Jacob Jones, chairman; Drake and William T. Holmes, are accused of aiding Road Superintendent Charles Long in allowing alleged false claims. Long Is indicted in thirty-two counts, charges including misappropriation of funds, payment of false claims and failure to properly care for his Office. There are three counts against Ira Wellman, assistant road superintendent, along the lines of those accusing his chief. DRY LAWMAKER FLAYSGILLIOM Wright Says Rum. Foe Speakers Work for Love.

Wright declared. “No speaker for the Anti-Saloon League gets anything like the sum mentioned in this statement, which appears to have been made to deceive the church people of this State. ’’The men speaking for the league are doing so for their love of and belief in the cause of prohibition and its enforcement.” Wright works for the league making speeches each Sunday.

GENEVA SPLIT MAY RESULT IN NAVAL PARLEY Separate Conference Ships Hinted at as Solution of Arms Row. Ry Ijiitcd Press GENEVA, June 27.—A spearat# naval limitation conference, to be held after the present one and with France and Italy represented, may be the solution of the present disagreement over Great Britain's insistence on discusing capital ships, not on the tri-partite conference program. There was as yet/ no official indication today that such a course was to be adopted, but the idea was forming. Officially the situation was as murky as when the conferees adjourned Saturday. But indication that a separate conference might be called was contained in statements, made today by High S. Gibson, head of the American delegation, and Admiral Saito, chief Japanese delegate. Japan Might Agree A dispatch from Tokio said Japan desired to defer discussion of battleships until the status of auxiliary ships—cruisers, destroyers and submarines—to discuss which the conference was called, had been setlcd. Japanese circles today amplified and somewhat corrected the dispatch by intimating that they wera willing to discuss battleships because, as the British had arguedJ it would result in decreasing taxa-™ tion. They believed the question could be brought within the conference's scope. Gibson Speaks The suggestion for later discussion of battleship.-, furnished the first half of the idea for solution. The second half was Implied in a statement by Gibson himself. "I have received no new instructions from the State Department,'* he said. “We still maintain our original principle—that the Washington agreement, settling the battleship question, can be reopened only when all five signatories to it are present.” STATE GRAIN DEALERS TO CONVENE THURSDAY Midsummer Meeting Will Be Held p.t Lake Wawasee.
