MOST PRICES HIGHER; SOME ISSUESREACT Favor Shown to High Grade Rails and Oils in Quiet Session. Average Stock Prices | ■ l Average of twenty industrials Thursday was 198.35. up .92. Average of twenty rails was 138.75, off .05. Average of forty *jgnds was 99.46, up .04. Bill United Press NEW YORK, Jan. 13.—Buying operations became more pronounced In today’s stock market session, but turnover continued well under the pace set earlier in the year. Prices in the main were higher though quite a few issues reacted. More caution was shown with traders favoring the high grade railroad issues and some of the oils which appeared good for the long pull. Speculative favorites were still carried higher by pool manipulation, but there was a lessening in enthusiasm for some of them. Pivotal industrials like steel common, General Motors, General Electric, and Allied Chemical moved in a narrow range through the day. Greene Copper spurted several points as Collins & Aikman and Liquid Carbonic. Gains of a point or more were scored by Sterling Products, Kennescott, National Dairy Products, North American, Calumet and Arizona, Case Threshing and Commercial Solvents. Radio Corporation, Nash, Borden and Yellow Truck were among the issues which declined. In the oil, Philipps, Marland, Sinclair and Transcontinental were active. Describing the market, the Wall Street Journal’s financial review today said: “Trading today was characterized by quiet strength. Advice from Washington that Federal Reserve authorities might find it necessary to increase the rediscount rate if the speculative excesses were not curbed, seemed to exercise a salutory influence. “Transactions showed a substantial decrease in volume from the three million share rate recently maintained. While substantial gains were scored in many sections of the list, buying activities were conducted in healthy fashion. Some of the recent spectacular activities were in evidence, but the action of the main body of stocks indicated that greater conservatism existed in speculative quarters.” Banks and Exchange INDIANAPOLIS STATEMENT Txical bank clearing.? today were $4,634,000; debit? were $7,296,000.

In the Stock Market

(Bv Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK, Jan. 13.—Although today s stock market-registered most of its transactions on the upstde, there was not during the greater part of the day the snap nor vim to it that has been its chief characteristic. During the latter part of the session there was a sudden revival of interest in the industrials as well as the rails. 'The reinvestment demand seems to have been largely taken care of and there is an absence of other incentives to active operations. On the contrary', the problem of brokers’ loans is now, being studied more closely than ever oefore, nolhwtthstandlng the frequent assurances that the situation is sound. There is a great public/awakening to the fact that the total ls'so huge its volume is beyond the comprehension of the ordinary mind in terms of actual money, and while all or this can have no bearing on the actual facts, it can produce a pyschological efrect that will induce hesitancy. The market has evidently entered a phase of readjustment that Involves a progressive, corrective movement that will result in alternating strength and weakness, sometimes in. volvlng the market as a whole, and sometimes only noticeable in groups. But the general trend is likely to be irregularly downward. Chicago Stocks —Jan. 13Open. High. Low. Close.

As this reduction has been brought about by concerted action of the mills in order to keep their business within normal bounds, and in view of the further fact that such action had been featured In all trade Journals, we do not attach must importance to the matter. The trade took the cheap contracts as usual and the market remains strong with Its same underlying orders from the mills. We think the present range is one favoring the trader with moderate ideas of profits to be made and while sales on advances are likely to result in gains, purchases in the zone of trade buying are even-more attractive.

GRAIN FUTURES FIRM, HOLD TO UPWARDJREND Wheat Up Nearly Cent Despite Bearish Conditions. By United Press CHICAGO, Jan. 13.—The tone in all grains was strong, and large fractional advances were made at today’s session on the Chicago Board of Trade. Late in the day wheat was up nearly 1 cent, despite fundamentally bearish conditions; corn was continuing its steady upward trend, and oats was following the rise. Considerably higher foreign cables, combined with reflected strength from corn’s steady rise, sent wheat into an unexpected rally. Trading was light, despite the rise. Corn showed considerable activity, and gained steadily all day. Local professionals caused several temporary dips by profit-taking sales, but the trend was steadily upward. Oats showed considerable strength, aided by the rise in wheat and corn. Best prices did not hold at the close, but wheat showed large fractional gains. Corn was not so strong, but finished with a steady upward trend and good gains. Oats followed with a small fraction. Closing figures were: Wheat, % to %c higher; corn, Is to %c higher, and oats, unchanegd to Vic higher. Provisions closed higher. Chicago Grain Table —Jan. 13— WHEAT— Prev. Open. High. Low.

Girl Pays Her Life for Gems and Silks, Gangsters’ Gifts

Chicago. Jan. 14.— Betty Chambers, 25, played with gangsters to get silks and jewels and paid with her life, because she learned too much, police believed today as they sought two men in connection with her murder. She lay on a silken coverlet propped up amid silken cushions in an ornate bed, writing a letter threatening revenge, when her slayer interrupted her. The girl was clubbed and strangled with an electric light cord. Then to make death certain, the slayer had wound ten yards of ahdestive tape around her mouth and nose. The murder bore striking resemblance to the Dot King case and other “Butterfly slayings” in Hew York.

RIOT IS STAGED BY 300 OHIO MINERS

By United Press STEUBENVILLE. Ohio, Jan. 14. Three hundred union and nonunion miners rioted at the Y. & O. coal mine No. 2 at Rush Run, seven miles from here Friday, according to advices telephoned to State and county officials. First reports said six nonunion miners had been injured seriously and that the opposing factions were preparing for open conflict. The union miners have been out since last April, when the Jackson-

Kill ‘Saint’

Woman Tenement Idol Slain as ‘Sacrifice’ by Fanatic.

NEW YORK,. Jan. 14.—Sorrow visited the Italian tenements of Brooklyn today while thousands mourned for Mrs. Rose Licata, known to them as “the Saint,” who was shot to death as she knelt praying before the altar in her home here Thursday night. While Italians from all over the city who had prayed with their “saint” and felt the comfort of her blessing, tried to console her griefstricken husband and five children, police searcherd for Santo Nicastro, the assailant. Nicastro was believed a religious fanatic. He visited the tenement shrine of Mrs. Licata often, praying for hours in the room dimly lighted by tall tapers and adorned with statues and relics of the saints. But Mrs. Licata feared him. “He spoke of killing me as a sacrifice,” she told her husband one day. But the husband laughed her fears away, and Thursday afternoon Mrs. Licata welcomed Nicastro without alarm. # ANOTHER woman, Mrs. Rose Lombardi, had come a few minutes earlier to pray that the baby she was expecting might be a boy. With “The Saint” and Nicastro, she kneeled before the crude little altar. They prayed for three hours. Then suddenly Nicastro rose. Mrs. Lombardi saw the gleam of frenzy in his black eyes. Terror stricken, she watched him slowly draw a revolver from his pocket and without a word, fire two bullets into the kneeling form of Mrs. Licata. As she sank to the floor, he fled. A 9-year-old son found the visitor wringing her hands and wailing over the body when he entered the house two hours later. He screamed an alarm and neighbors filled the tenement, increasing the wailing. When police were notified and obtained a description of the slayer, Nicastro had had ample opportunity to escape and hide.

TWO men were sought by police—Gordon Chambers, who lived with Betty as her husband until they fought and separated recently, and a “lithe, dark man with a hooked nose” who had visited her often since. Thousands of dollars’ worth of gowns, riding habits and lingerie, as well as valuable jewels, were untouched in her expensive hotel suite. With robbery impossible as a motive, police were confident the girl had been killed because her desire for revenge had led her to threaten to reveal her knowledge of Chicago’s gangland. Chambers, police said, was a petty gangster. He was sought only as a materail witness, for police were confident the hooked-

ville wage scale agreement, guaranteeing them a minimum of $7.50 a day, expired. Efforts u> negotiate anew scale have failed. Today’s outbreak, it was said, occurred when 250 union miners armed with clubs and stones waylaid fifty-one nonunion miners who were marching to the Rush Run property.
