Fourteen bottles sitting in a sink was sufficient evidence to convince Judge Willard B. Gemmill of the supreme court that Bessie McGregor of Evansville should pay a SIOO fine for liquor possession and serve four months at the Indiana Woman’s prison. The Gemmill decision, handed down today, sustained the finding of the Vanderburg circuit court. Appeal w a s taken on the ground of illegal search and also that the liquor belonged to Bessie’s husband, who wasn’t home when the officers made the raid.

BULL REPORT SENDS WHEAT HIGHER TODAY Substantial /Reduction Seen in Canada’s Crop Estimate. By United Press CHICAGO, Nov. 14.—A substantial reduction in the Canadian government crop estimate issued after the close yesterday sent wheat sharply higher today onthe Board of Trade. Corn and oats advanced on moderate buying. Wheat opened 1T& to 1% cents up, corn was % to % cent higher and oats were up % to % cent. Provisions were about unchanged. The Canadian report estimated the dominion wheat crop at 501,000,000 bushels. The previous estimate was 550,000,000 bushels. Traders generally construed the report as bullish, although many believe that its effect has been discounted by prevailing levels. Commission houses are advising purchases of corn on the breaks. Arrivals have been increasing but consist mostly of low grade com. It is reported that exporters are bidding in downstate Illinois for corn to be taken out by way of New Orleans. Northwestern and eastern concerns have been active on the buying side of oats. The cash situation remains firm. Chicago Grain Table WHEAT— Prev. High. Low. 12:00 close.

The dramatic word duel between Robert W. Stewart, Indiana Standard Oil chairman, and Senator Thomas J. Walsh, Democrat, Montana, which led to Stewart’s indictment on a charge of perjury, was re-enacted in Stewart’s trial in District of Columbia supreme court today.

In the Stock Market
(By Thomson St McKinnon) The able president of the New York Stock Exchange usually has something interesting to say to the public. He is quoted in a speech made last night as saying there has been a revolution in the use of credit. There has been another revolution—a revolution in the method heretofore pursued by the public in its market operation. There used to be a sterotyped phrase thai always was appliable during very big markets—that stocks have passed from strong hands to the weak. We no longer have weak hahds in the sense that the phrase was formerly used. When people pay from a third to a half of the efist of a share of stock we would say that it is good buying and the stock in fairly strong hands. If this was not so you would not see what you witnessed yesterday—a tremendous amount of profit taking which the market quickly absorbed, and was quickly followed by an eager demand for more. This favorable condition could continue indefinitely if the public will observe one rule—don’t buy a sipgle share that you can’t take care of every hour of the day. 18 MOTORISTS FINED 326 in Court in 13 Days on Traffic Charges.

GUNS OF GHOST > FEUDIST PERIL' ENTIRE FAMILY Anoient German House in Danger of Extinction by Murder. By United Press NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 14.—The two surviving members of the ancient Von Herr family of Germany live in perpetual fear that they may be yictims of a one-sided feud being carried on by persons unknown for reason equally unknown. The story of the feud came to light here in an attempt to assassinate Baron Frederich Wilhelm Gustave von Herr, frustrated by several coins in a pocket book that deflected and stopped the bullet just over the heart. The score so far is—dead: The father of the present baron, killed on the streets of Metz in 1925; Eric von Herr, killed at the same time; still living, the present baron here and Hugo von Herr, 24, studying at Friedrichshaven, the starting point of the Graf Zeppelin on its recent flight to America. Wealth Is Gone The ancient prestige and wealth of the Von Herrs is gone—confiscated after the war. The present baron, 29, still showing the effects of undernourishment during the war and scarred from the explosion of a French bomb, dropped from the air over Metz, has been working in the office of a local dentist, a compatriot of the baron who knew the family in Germany. The assassin, accprding to tne baron, had warned him first that he was due to die that night. Then came the attempt which failed—a single shot fired point blank aimed at the heart. Shot by “Army Man” It was an “army man,” as the Germans know the type, who did the shooting. During the war tlie present baron’s father was a political leader in Alsace-Lorraine after the armistice. H e suggested that the province be made an independent republic, and led a movement toward that end. In the resultant turmoil, the baron says, his father made many enemies. Among them might be the ones who now are trying to exterminate the family. Live In Terror , For years after the war the von Herrs lived in teror. The present baron was sent to the United States for safety in 1921 after several attempts on the life of the old baron had failed. Then came the shooting on the streets of Metz in 1925. A gang opened Are on the old man and two sons. The old man was killed, and one son, Eric, died with him. The youngest, Hugo, escaped.
