Average of forty By United Press NEW YORK, June 15.—Stocks were highly irregular today despite .easier tone in call money. Intermittent rallies marked the session which was considerably quieter than other markets of the week, but these ‘attempted recoveries were short lived and at the close the majority of issues were lower.

’ Wide breaks were made by such Os the volatile shares as Wright Aero, Radio Corporation, General Electric, General Motors, Allied Chemical, Curtiss Aero, and Case Threshing Machine. Rails, oils, utilities and special Issues joined the downward movement in the forenoon. A sharp upturn came in the early afternoon with call money easier in tone and a shade under the official rate in the outside market. This easier tone in money brought a fair-sized amount of buying, i but on the bulge, traders were quick to take profits and as a result the rise was of little consequence, being followed by further selling in quiet dealings. Describing the market, the Wall Street Journal’s financial review today said: “Not for many months has there been such a conflict of opinion in Wall Street as existed today. Bullish forces were hoping for a rally n the basis of high industrial production and easier conditions in the call loan market. “Funds were in large supply due to accumulation of money at this center in anticipation of June 15 Government financing and tax payments. Renewals of call loans were arranged at 5% per cent, against 6 per cent the previous day. While the official rate held at 5% per cent throughout the session, accommodations were available outside at 514 per cent. “However, this situation was recognized as temporary and was expected to be followed by a firmer tone next week when funds en deposit are drawn upon. Sentiment ,in banking quarters regarding credit conditions continued apprehensive.

In the Stock Market

(By Thomson A: McKinnon.) NEW YORK, June 15.—Judging by the action of today's market the public was disappointed in the report bv the Reserve Board in the amount of reduction of brokers loans. It was evident even at the opening .that stocks were in plentiful supply and The price trend downward. The exception to this rule, however, was in the oil group in which a moderate buying movement made its appearance. Trading was in the smallest volume In manv weeks and what there was of it was mostly of professional character. In the afternoon buying in limited amount appeared in the market leaders, this probably prompted by a good supply of call funds which were being offered in the outside market below the 5% per cent renewal rate. Time money showed no indication of easing. The slowness of trading and the general weakness of prices was undoubtedly due to the opinion that no steps would be taken by those of authority in the money market to relieve the situation, but on the other hand additional pressure might be Disced against the stock market to bring about an improved credit situation.

In the Sugar Market

(Bv Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK. June 15.—The sugar market remains higher with a fairly strong undertone. Refiners are not going to meet the asked prices for nearby tonnage and this, in my opinion, foreshadows a reduction in the refined product which should affect prices adversely unless a large short interest now prevails.

In the Cotton Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK. June 15.—Th* general tore of the cotton market waa better this morning. Occasional selling induced bv the reaction in the stock market was well taken. Private advices of the presence of boll weevils are increasing, as we expected owing to the continuation of showers over the belt. Grassy fields are reported from almost all sections. It was understood that the government would Issue another bulletin on the weevil after the close of the market. Asa rule the crop makes its best showing during the month of June but it will require perfect conditions during the next two weeks for such to be the case this year.

By United Press KANSAS CITY, Mo., June 15. Secretary of Treasury Mellon finds playing the game of practical politics of the convention is seriously interfering with his customary exercise. When in Washington the millionaire cabinet member often walks from his offices to his palatial apartment. The urge for exercise and a little air sent him wandering at 3 o’clock this morning in the almost deserted Kansas City streets. He previously had been conferring with leaders for many hours in his hotel room in an obscure comer of the Muehlebach hotel.

BEARISH NEWS LOWERS WHEAT IN PITSTODAY Qorn Closes Irregular and Oats Slightly Higher at Chicago. By United Pres* CHICAGO, June 15.—Pressure appearing on the bulges, with generally favorable crop reports sent wheat lower on the Board of Trane today. Corn was irregular, while oats was fractionally higher. Wheat closed %©l%c down; corn ranged from tic lower to l%c advance. and oats wes unchanged to tic higher. Provisions were higher. Wheat was nervous and unsettled much of the day. There was an opening upturn, followed by pressure frhich appeared on all bulges. Crop prospects in the Northwest continued favorable, and though generally fair weather was reported from the Southwest, some section! received hail and rain overnight. In places wheat was flattened by the storm in Kansas and Oklahoma. Early liquidation of July corn sent that future up. Crop reports continued favorable, but this bearish news was offset by the strong tone of the cash market. The tone in oats was heavy and trading was light.

BY RAYMOND CLAPPER United Press Staff Correspondent CONVENTION HALL, Kansas City, June 15.—Herbert Hoover of California for President. Charles Curtis of Kansas for Vice President. That is the Republican ticket for 1928—two men who started as orphans at the bottom of life's ladder—one the child of an lowa blacksmith, the other a little Indian jockey boy on the plains of Kansas. Curtis was one of the anti-Hoover presidential candidates and his selection for Vice President therefore tends to restore harmony between the factions. This ticket is itleal to meet the expected Democratic nomination of Alfred Smith, graduate of Fulton Fish Market. Curtis is an Administration regular, but voted for the McNaryHaugen bill, although refusing to vote to override the President’s veto. He is popular in the farm belt and is expected to strengthen the ticket in the Middle West.

FEARS ‘SPIRITS’; SLAYS SISTER Carving Knife, Gas Pipe Used in Killing, By United Press NEW YORK, June 15.—Thomas A. Leach, 45, confessed today that lie beat his sister. Emma, to death with a gas pipe “to save her from the rpirits which have been hanging around our house.” Leach, who recently was discharged from a sanitarium, welcomed police when they arrived at the Brooklyn house and asked them to “help me wake up my sister, asleep for a long time.” Miss Leach’s body was found in one of the bedrooms. A bloodstained carving knife and the gas pipe were on the floor. “She came home Wednesday night,’* Leach said, “and read for a while. I went to bed, but the spirits would not let me sleep. They kept running around the room, so I got up to keep them from bothering Emma. The only way I could save her was to hit her with the gas pipe and stab her.” Leach was held on a homicide charge and probably will be sent to an asylum immediately.

CURTIS RISES FROM JOCKEY TO HIGH HONOR Descendant of Indian Chief Second Choice of G. 0. P. By United Press From jockey boy to the Repub-, lican candidate for Vice-President is the thumb-nail story of Charles Curtis, the descendant of Chief White Plume of the Kansas tribe of Indians. And to make his romance all the more striking, this final honor came to him here on the banks of the Kaw, from the hills overlooking the Kansas plains where his great-great-grandfathers rode and fought. A short, stocky man with straight black hair, “Charlie” Curtis shows his Indian blood, except that in temperament he is rather more jovial and easy going than ordinary red men. He was born near North Topeka, Kans., but when orphaned at the age of 5, he was sent to live with relatives on an Indiana reservation in Kansas. At 10, he was working in a livery stable in Topeka after school hours. At 16, he signed up as a jockey on the Kansas tracks but he soon realized that he had better get an education so he worked as a newspaper reporter in town and studied law at night. At 24, he was made prosecutor of Shawnee County, Kansas, and as he told Senator Borah in answering the recent prohibition questionnaire, “When I took office the saloons were running wide open in Topeka, and every saloon was closed within thirty days.” His record in closing up the saloons which in the 80’s were defying the early Kansas prohibition law, resulted in his election to Congress, in 1892. In 1903, he tried for the Senate, but,was defeated, making it on the second attempt, however, in 1907. He was a victim of the Bull Moose split in 1912 and was defeated, but came back two years later. Curtis has been majority leader of the Senate since the death of Henry Cabot Lodge. For years before that he was the party whip and it has been his duty to round up the votes, to keep a majority of Republicans within call at all times, to arrange the legislative program. To mollify his party colleague and hold them down to reasonable demands, to iron out legislative differences with the House, and in short to act as a general "trouble man” around the Senate. This has given him a tremendous number of contacts with persons in political life and it has been his nature to .make most of them his friends.
