EXPORTS AND WEATHER AID CORN FUTURES New Crop Now Moving in Larger Volume; Wheat Acts Tired. By United Press CHICAGO, Oct. 23.—A1l futures ruled quiet on the Board of Trade today. Buying power in wheat was scared away by the accumulation of bearis hfactors. Corn pushed forward to better levels. Oats were little changed. Wheat opened unchanged to % cent off. corn was up % cent and oats were unchanged to Vs cent off. Provisions were steady. There has been some reduction in the wheat short interest by Chicago traders, but the outstanding amount still is large. The visible supply is close to 130,000,000 bushels, compared with 85,000,000 bushels at this time last year, and receipts in Canada and the northwest continue heavy, although the peak of the movement is past. Short covering, inclement weather, strong cash demand and export trade have all aided corn. The new crop is beginning to move in volume, but traders believe that farmers will hold back their supplies in order to maintain present prices. Small quantities of oats have been taken for export. Selling by northwestern houses has been absorbed by commission houses on resting orders. Chicago Grain Table : —Oct. 23 WHEAT— Prev. High. Low. Close, close.

HOOVER SPEAKS AT NEW YORK Attacks Al Smith’s Program as ‘Socialism.’ (Continued From Page 1) once we have an entire blight upon coordinated action within their ranks which destroys any possibility of effective administration. "Thus every time the federal government goes into a commercial business, 531 senators and congressmen become the actual board of directors of that business. Even if they were supermen and if there were not politics in the United States, nobody of such numbers could competently direct commercial activities, for that requires initiative, instant decision and action. It took congress six years of constant discussion to even decide what the method of administration of Muscle Shoals should be. "The effect upon our economic progress would tfe even worse. Business progressiveness is dependent on competition. "There is no better example of the practical incompetence of government to conduct business than the history of our railways. During the war the government found it necessary to operate the railways. That operation continued until after the war. Tn the year before being free from government operation they were not able to meet the demands for transportation. Eight years later we find them under private enterprise transporting 15 per cent more goods and meeting every demand for service,” he continued. Protect Nation’s Resources "The great body of government employes which would be created by the proposals of our opponents would either comprise a political machine at the disposal of the party in power, or alternatively, to prevent this, the government, by stringent civil-service rules, must debar its employes from the full political rights as free men. "I do not wish to be misunderstood. I do not mean that our government is to part with one iota of its national resources without complete protection to the public interest. I already have stated that where the government is engaged in public works for purposes of flood control, of navigation, of irrigation, of scientific research or national defense, or in pioneering a new art, it will at times necessarily produce power or commodities as a by-product. But they must be a by-product of the major purpose, not the major purpose itself. "Nor do I wish to be misinterpreted as believing that the United States is free-for-all and devil-take-the-hindmost. The very essence of equality of opportunity and of American individualism Ls that there shall be no domination by any group or combination in this republic. whether it be business or political. Home Industries Need Help "As to our great manufacturing and distributing industries, the Republican party insisted upon the enactment of laws that not only would maintain competition, but would destroy conspiracies to destroy the smaller units or dominate and limit the equality of opportunity amongst our people. "We still have great problems if we would achieve the full economic advancement of our country. In these past few years some groups in our country have lagged behind others in the march of progress. I refer more particularly to those engaged in textile, coal and in the agriculture industries. "We can assist in solving these problems by co-operation of our government. "To the agricultural industry we shall need to advance initial capital to assist them to stablizie their industry. But this proposal implies that they shall conduct it themselves, and not by the government. "It is in the interest of our cities that we shall bring agriculture and all industries into full stability and prosperity. FATHER TO KIEP~ SON Supreme Court Upholds Right to Custody.

STATE NEARS END IN RAIDER’S TRIAL

Cousin of Wounded British Girl Given Candy by by Dry Agents. By United Press ELYRIA, Ohio. Oct. 23.—Completion of the state’s case against Luis Cicco, former Lorain dry raider charged with “shooting with intent to wound” Miss Betty Heywood, 22, a British subject, was expected late today. Miss Heywood was shot the night of Sept. 29 when the driver of the automobile in which she was riding failed to stop for Cicco and two other agents. Mrs. Charles Edwards, Miss Heywood’s aunt, took the witness stand today to tell of visits Cicco and the other agents—Frank Klady and Walter Knitter—Made to her home following the shooting. Cicco told her that he was "sorry over the shooting,” she testified, she also told of the agents’ giving her 4-year-old daughter candy and telling her stories. Cicco examined the car and the bullet hole. Mrs. Edwards said. “I saw him put a pencil through a bullet hole,” she testified. “The pencil pointed directly at the driver's back, and I said to him, ‘You made a good shot for Mr. Edwards.’ ” Edwards was driving the car at time

Christian Scientist Gives Two Lectures in City

Appears at Keith Theater in Day Meeting, at Night in Church. Charles I. Ohrenstein, Syracuse, N. Y., member of the board of lectureship of the First Church of Christ, Scientist, Boston, lectured twice here Monday, at the Keith theater at noon, and in Second Church of Christ, Scientist, Twelfth and Delaware streets, at night. His subject was "Christian Science; the Science of Well-Being.” He said in part: “The Bible enjoins us to ‘pray without ceasing.’ The practice of Christian Science Ls such prayer. "When Jesus’ disciples asked him to teach them to pray, he cautioned them against public or audible prayer, against word-worship, and supplication, telling them not to be like the heathen who think that they shall be heard for their much speaking—adding, ‘for your Father knoweth what things ye have need of, before ye ask Him.” He then illustrated his meaning in a prayer which has since been cnled the Lord’s Prayer, and which, as Mrs. Eddy states in Science and Health, page 16, covers all human needs.’ According to a recent translation this prayer does not consist of supplications, but of declarations—the declarations that God’s name (that which shows forth God—His character or nature) ‘must be being hallowed;’ that God’s ‘will must be being done both in heaven and upon the earth.’ “A good many years ago the chancellor of one of our universities—a clergyman of many years’ experience—asked me how we pray in our churches. I told him that at every service we have silent prayer, followed by the audible repetition of the Lord’s Prayer, and that this is our only audible prayer. “After a few moments of silmt thought, this well-known clergyman and scholar said, ‘Mr. Ohrenste/n, I have been a minister of the Gospel for forty-five years, and were it possible for me to live my career over again, I should never make any audible prayer except the Lord's Prayer.’ "With your permission, one more word—a word about the woman who discovered this Science and gave it to the world. So meek, so modest, and so retiring was Mrs. Eddy that after she had proved her doctrine, taught t to others, published it, so that all could avail themselves of it and be benefited by it—after she had hedged it about so as to preserve it for all time in its purity—although continuing to direct the great movement she had founded—she withdrew herself from the world to meditate and to commune with God. "She never stooped except to lift some fallen brother, or some fallen sister. In her the humility, meekness, purity, and righteousness taught in the Beatitudes were exemplified, personified.”

REMOVAL POSTPONED Hearing for Alleged Auto Ring Defendants Nov. 23. Hearing on removal of Ted Baldwin and Miss Lloyd Harrison, arrested at Chicago in connection with the alleged Indianapolis motor car theft ring, has been postponed until Nov. 23, ten days after trials of the nineteen defendants, according to word received today by Albert Ward, United States district attorney. Ward was in Chicago today on another case. Effect of the delay in the removal hearing in federal court at Chicago, according to Alexander G. Cavins, assistant district attorney, will be to prevent their trial, Nov. 13. with other theft ring defendants. The federal grand jury will meet Thursday to resume investigation of the alleged ring. The grand jury is expected to complete its work within two days. It probably will make its final report Saturday, it was said. Veteran Chosen Chaplain By Times Syeeiat MARION, Ind., Oct. 23.—The Rev.

PAY PROPOSAL GIVEN MINERS Indiana Workers to Vote Saturday. By United Press TERRE HAUTE, Ind., Oct. 23. Officers and members of local unions of District No. 11, United Mine Workers of America today were formally advised that next Saturday is the date set for a referendum vote on the tentative wage scale agreement adopted by a committee here last Thursday. The basic wage scale in the agreement to be voted upon is $6.10 on a day wage basis and 91 cents per ton on a tonnage basis. A notice sent to miners today by the union said: "Knowing that Ohio has made a contract for a $5 basic scale and of also the situation in Pennsylvania and elsewhere throughout the bituminous coal fields, we feel that the agreement tentatively agreed to and subjected to your ratification, which we are submitting to you, should receive your thoughtful and favorable consideration. Believe adoption of this contract for Indiana will give us the best contract, within the jurisdiction of our organization, and that it is a splendid agreement. You understand that failure to adopt it will leave District No. 11. without an agreement and our idle membership should be taken into consideration by you as they hve by your scale committee.”

In the Stock Market

(By Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK, Oct. 23.—Every day a lew sensations, a few conspicious leae'ers, but the hi If dozen cr more issues that advance at time sensationally do not help the many hundreds of issues that are either inactive or actually being subjected to pressure from liquidating And all the while there is really nothing new in the fundamentals of the market. Business continues good and even the money market that was so disturbing for a while shows a tendency toward normal. The position of the trader is made difficult by reason of the fact that his thoughts and discussions turn on the words bullish and bearish. There really is no occasion for such discussion at this time. All that is required is the application of tho principles of ordinary business. One of those principles is don’t be over stocked and the other is when you have a good profit take it. This is particularly important at this time because you have a lot of company and the least little thing could at any moment upset things and make it very unpleasant for every one.
