Describing the market the Wall Street Journal's financial review today said: Wall Street has recognized for some time that a factor for the current buoyancy is the growing belief that Coolidge may be drafted for re-election. Transactions Huge Trading proceeded at a violent pace throughout the morning. Transactions were huge in volume, taxing the stock exchange machinery to the utmost. Owing to the wide variety of activities stocks on the tape ran about twentyfive minutes behind and quotations from the floor were extremely'difficult to obtain. Coisiderable nervousness was aroused in speculative quarters by the rapidity of the advance and profit taking developed in large volume around noon. At the same time professionals were active on the short side in the belief that a substantial increase in the weekly brokers' loan statement might afford the basis for reaction. General Motors broke more than 3 points from its early high and other leaders sold off in proportion. Radio broke sharply. Trading at Furious Pace r," I nihil Press NEW YORK.

In the Stock Market <By Thomson & McKinnon t NEW YORK. March 22.—The steel industry, one of America's backbones, is operating on highly satisfactory basis—operating not to stock up tonnage for future business that might come, but to fill orders for immediate delivery, and, lest we forget, at price levels which permit a satisfactory profit. This production schedule could not be maintained it other basic industries, such as building and automotive business, were not making the demand and where is the pulse of the public’s buying power better understood than in the motor industry? A reflection of all this is very obvious in the stock market, not only by ruggedness, but by the character of securities bought by investors and traders alike. Quality is the watchword. Quality is the demand. Companies enjoying the highest type of executive ability, long and satisfactory earning power, representative leaders in their particular line of endeavor. These spell soundness—soundness in principal—soundness in judgment and above all, stability for the stock market. In the Colton Market (Bv Thomson & McKinnon i NEW YORK. March 22.—At 19 cents for the new cron, the trade is disposed to think it over before buying much more than their current, requirements. This is rot to sav that the market is going down, however. We take the position that we are temporarily in a trading zone. We would not recommend a short position, even on the bulges, bin 1 , would take profits on advance*, and repurchase on declines.

STATE TO FIGHT RELEASE WRITS Prisoners Seek Freedom on Technicalities. Unusual legal questions arose to- $ clay at La Porte in connection with three habeas corpus writs sought for ; prisoners at the Indiana State Prison at Michigan City. The first case which will be argued for the State by Bernard Keltnor. deputy attorney general, is that of Thomas H. Dranglnis, who was sentenced Dec. 23, 1923, by Judge James A. Collins of the Marion Criminal Court to not less than ten years and 'not more than twentyfive years in the State Prison on a charge of auto banditry. Attorneys for Dranginis argue that such a sentence is void because the law provides that auto banditry must be punished by a determinate not indeterminate, sentence. Keltner also will oppose the release of Archie Wells and Albert Banks, sentenced in the Floyd Circuit Court. Jan. 22. 1923. to five to fourteen years at the State Reformatory for robbery. After ad- 1 mission to the reformatory Judge John M. Paris changed tlie sentence to from ten to twenty years in the Stat? penitentiary. Attorneys for the two prisoners argue that the Judge lost his jurisdiction after the term of court in which the original sentence was passed, and that by changing his sentence in another term lie voided the entire case. Keltner will base his argument on the point that when a prisoner is held by warrants issued by courts of competent jurisdiction legality of restraint can not be investigated.

INDIANA WOMEN BOOST HOOVER’S CANDIDACY Organize State-Wide Campaign to Elcrt “Best" Man. “Indiana women are not so much interested in political machinery as they are in political qualifications, and Herbert Hoover has the qualifications." said Dr. Amelia R. Keller, woman's State manager for the Hoover campaign in Indiana, today after responses were received from Republican women throughout the State. Dr. Keller had sharp words for the "favorite son bugaboo." which she said, “intrigues, but, loses all its appeal when we know that the 'favorite son’ wants only to obtain our support on a loyalty plea and then through subterfuge trade it at a party convention to a dark-horse candidate. "If Hoover is the best man. and lir is; if he is the most, popular candidate throughout the United States, and he is: then, why should the voters of Indiana be prevented by a ‘favorite son’s* desire to trade votes from helping to select, him. Why be tooled into picking the wrong man second, when we can pick the right man first?” Dr. Keller's goal is to parallel the State-wide Hoover organization among men, with a similar organization enlisting women workers. PLAN JUNIOR BASEBALL Legion so Promote Amateur World Series for Citizenship. Activities of the national Americanism commission of the National Legion to awaken slacker voters to their duties and to promote nationwide interest in junior baseball by holding a junior world series were outlined by Dan Sowers, director of the commission, at the Real Estate Board luncheon at the Chamber of Commerce today. “In its junior baseball program, which will bring between 100.000 and 150,000 boys into the game this season, the Legion is not interested in baseball as such, but in the practical lessons in good citizenship which a boy can learn on a baseball diamond.” he said. DRUG STUDENTS FIGHT Pharmacy College Classes in Hattie Over Class Colors.

GRAIN FUTURES REACT; LOWER IN PIT OPENING Prices Fractionally Off on Chicago Board; Liverpool Weak. Hi! United Press CHICAGO, March 22—Grain futures reacted irom Wednesday’s general upturn, and opened fractionally lower on the Board of Trade today. Opening figures were: Wheat, M<n 'ic lower; corn, off; and oats unchanged to '4 c lower. Provisions were practically unchanged. Weakness in Liverpool was the depressing factor in wheat. Continued fine weather over the winter wheat belt aided the dip, but there was no special news. The failure of export business to materialize after rumors of large sales had boosted prices Wednesday, caused the reaction in corn this morning. Apart from this development there was nothing of importance in early n>.vs. There was talk of small overnight export business in oats, but figures were small. Prices dipped with wheat and corn.

SCRIPPS’ SUIT BARES PAPERS' PROFITS, VALUE Widow of Publisher's Son Claims $6,000,000 Due His Estate. Bit I'nitcd Press CINCINNATI. March 22.—Tlie increase in receipts, profits and value of tiie Scripps newspapers between the years 1908 and 1920 inclusive, were brought out in Federal court here today by witnesses for Mrs. Josephine S. Scripps in her suit for an accounting against Robert P. Scripps, executor ol' the estate of his father, the late E. W. Scripps. Just before the midday recess, the plaintiff rested her case. Testimony, designed to establish the amount of money and increment she alleges is due her through what she claims was a partnership agreement between her husband, the late James G. Scripps and his father, was offered by Jay W. Curtis of Oakland, Cal. He was formerly general counsel for the Scripps interests and is now counsel for the newspaper interests of Mrs. Scripps. Sues for $6,000,000 He testified that the properties, which James Scripps was managing under agreement with his father, between 1908 and 1920 increased their circulation and advertising receipts from $3,400,000 to $16,700.000; their cash operating profit from $351,000 to $1,269,000 and the increment on the value cf the property over $13,000,000. It is on the basis of these figures that Mrs. Scripps contends there is due the estate of her husband “in excess of $6,000,000.’’ J. C. Harpr % who was personal counsel for E. W. Scripps, was closely examined by the defense in the effort to develop that the elder Scripps. even when he had his working arrangement with his son. James, did not “abdicate” from the management of his properties. Harper said there was no difference in the father’s activities after his son came into the business. Did'nt Want Contract “He would drop out for a considerable time and come back,” Harper testified. “He had dropped out at times even before his son came in, but always returned. None of us ever knew when lie would reappear.” Os the contractual agreement, the elder Scripps had proposed to his son, Harper said: “Jim said he did not like the plan and was not willing to sign it. He thought it was a bad proposition. He thought it would be better to go to his father from time to time and ask for a distribution he did not desire a contract.” The breacli between the elder Scripps and son James appeared from evidence introduced in the trial to have started noticeably in 1917, and by 1920 had become sharply defined. In the latter year in fact, E. W. Scripps drafted what he described as a statement and sent it to James. He told his son he would give him a salary of $36,000 a year, but added that “there is no occasion for my making any further distribution along the line I have practiced for seme time; namely, an increment division.” Howard Named Chairman The father then advised that the latter no longer would continue as his attorney and agent in fact, a prime reason being, according to the elder Scripps, that his son had developed into a man of such ■force and independence of character that he finds it extremely difficult to subordinate himself to any superior authority.” James promptly wrote his father in reply asking that the statement be withdrawn, "as I consider it unjustified.” But it was not withdrawn.
