Jan. 17.—Indicative of improving business is the comment from bankers that considerably more funds are being borrowed through the medium of commercial paper than for some time past. Important market wise is the reflection in stock values of the high rate of operation in the steel industry and the outlpok for extra distribution. The Boston bank rate remains unchanged and little movement in either direction is looked for in brokers loans. The one drawback in the brilliant outlook is the cost of credit for stock market purposes. It must not be ignored.

QUIET TRADING HOLDS PRICES FIRMJN PIT Weather Is Unfavorable for Country Buying. Bu United Press CHICAGO, Jan. 17.—Trading was quiet on the Board of Trade here today but all grains showed firm tones. The weather over the central area promises to be very unfavorable for country movement. At the opening wheat was unchanged to % cent higher, com was unchanged to •%* cent higher and oats were unchanged to % cent higher. Provisions were steady. The large increase in North American flour business since the first of the year has become a bullish factor in the wheat market, but recent advances must be attributed to broader speculative interest in the grain rather than to any important change in the news. Liverpool failed to follow the upturn here Wednesday. Although corn showed great strength by advancing in the face of sharp declines at Buenos Aires, Wednesday, the rise has placed it in an unfavorable technical position and, with reports of further rains in Argentina last night, there has been a reawakening of bearish sentiment. Oats has been following the major grains, with the exception of July, which has met with considerable selling. Chicago Grain Table —Jan. 17— Prev. WHEAT— High. Low. 12:00. Close.

IEGGER ROUTED AS HOMEDURNS Stiil and Mash in Attic of House Revealed by Fire. A bootlegger fled in pajamas and overcoat at 4 a. m. today when a fire underneath his whisky still started flames which routed him from his headquarters at 22 North Grant street. He drove away in his automobile. Police are checking to determine the owner of the house in an effort to trace the bootlegger. As firemen arrived at the house, a story and a half frame structure, a pajama-clad man pulling on his overcoat, ran out. Neighbors were yelling, “Rescue the people. There’s people in that house.” The man ran to Captain George F. Simmons, told him there was no one else in the house, and vanished. A fifty-gallon still and six barrels of mash in the attic were found. The upper story of the dwelling was destroyed. Damage was estimated at $1,500.

Claycombe of Indianapolis presented a bill to amend action in civil cases. The amendment provides that instead of suing defendants in the county in which their homes are located, it is possible to file the suit in the county where the accident occurred; or in the county in which their homes are located, it is possible to file the suit in the county where the accident occurred; or in the county where the defendant resides at the time of the action, and that a suit may be begun against a common carrier without obtaining consent of the court which he has appointed the receiver. Following the Grotto accident the circuit court judge at Anderson declared that suit against the traction company must be filed in Madison county where the receiver was appointed and not in Marion county where the accident occurred and where the witnesses resided.

APPROPRIATION BILL IS PASSED Senate Amendment Goes Into Waste Basket. The senate amendment to the $150,000 appropriation bill to defray expenses of the -seventy-sixth general assembly found its way into the waste basket today after causing a two-day delay in the passage of the measure.

Farrell of Blackford, chairman of the ways and means committee.

SCORES FARM TAXES Revision Needed, Declares Settle. Indiana needs anew constitution to provide anew policy of taxation which will relieve farmers of their present unjust tax burden, William H. Settle, Indiana Farm Bureau Federation president, declared at the Indianapolis Real Estate Board luncheon at the Chamber of Commerce today. “It is just as unreasonable to suppose that a policy of taxation provided by our constitution sev-enty-one years ago would meet the present day needs as it would be to suppose that the educational needs of seventy-one years ago would meet our present-day requirements,” he said. “Farm lands still pay more than their full share of taxes,” he declared. “Pauper counties now are paying taxes of from $4 to $5 of each SIOO of assessed valuation, which is confiscation. Increases in public expenditures for any purpose will be opposed unless the proposed expenditure is taken Care of by other than increased taxes on farm lands.” Settle suggested an income tax and taxes on luxuries. , NEW YORK COFFEE RANGE —J&D. 16 — High.

Miss Daniels, whose engagement to Ben Lyon is expected to be announced next week, explained she is a “bachelor, accustomed to doing with my time as I please. “No real man would tolerate that,” she added. “And I wouldn’t have anything but a real man.” Six romances which preceded the affair with young Lyon were listed by Miss Daniels. They were Barry Beneto, schoolboy chum; Harold Lloyd, John Gilbert, Jack Pickford. Charlie Paddock, the sprinter; and Michael Arlen, writer. “Barry was my first love,” and I’ll never forget him,” she said. “He wouldn't even look at me, and I suffered only as a woman of eleven summers can suffer under such humiliation.” * * Harold Lloyd was the first boy Miss Daniels “ever went out with.”

was too poor,” she said, “and by the rich enough, we had ceased to care.”

“Next? Well, there was Charlie Paddock, the sprinter, a sweet lamb. Out of our friendship, grew a fine understanding which continues to this day.” "I then met Michael Arlen, the writer, in New York, and it was another case of love at first sight. It seemed to me he needed the loving care of a mother, not a wife.”
