In the Stock Market

<Bv Thomson Sc McKinnon) NEW YORK, Dec. 14.—With general news more or les aroutine and colorless, except for the expectation of the publication of the railroad consolidtaion plan later in the day the views of the administration are probably of more importance than the expression of opinion as to the state of trade contained in the weekly business reviews. The White House observation that the dark clouds which were looming have swept away tends to substatntiate the idea that sentiment has undergone a complete change and with confidence being rapidly restored we should soon see a revival in general business. The changed attitude upon the part of the interstate commerce commission for the railroads will probably be revealed in the merger plans and It would not be surprising If investorr devoted more attention to the excellent opportunities offered in the rail group. Revival of investment buying in the rails should benefit the general market, now that we have a much stronger technical position established.

FARMHAND IS MURDERER OF MUNCIE PAIR Confesses Club Killing of Couple After Capture in Kentucky. FEAR ASSIGNED MOTIVE Police to Question Slayer on Clews Indicating Accomplice. 77 1/ Vnitrd Press MUNCIE, Dec. 14.—The murderer of Mr. and Mrs. George F. Heath, aged farm couple of near Muncie, was to be returned to Indiana from Kentucky today, and placed in a jail more distant from the crime scene than Muncie to avoid possible mob violence. James Wood, 37-year-old shellshocked World war veteran, confessed to Indiana officers who captured him at his home near Albany, Ky., that he killed the old couple for whom he worked last summer as a farm hand. Wood confessed also that he had stolen the Heath's automobile and several lambs and chickens Nov. 20. Officers here believe that he killed the couple through fear that, they would cause his arrest for the thefts. Those who made the arrest did not indicate the motive given by the slayer. Sheriff McAuley said that although Wood was shell-shocked, he has no reason to believe that his mentality is still affected. Local officers believe Wood may have had an accomplice in the murder, as evidence at the Heath home indicated two men visited it. They will question the confessed slayer on this point. Bodies of Mr. and Mrs. Heath were discovered in their bedrooms Thursday morning. Each had been beaten with a club. 4 DROWN IN COLLISION Greek, Spanish Ships Crash in Fog; Sinking Is Rapid.

Silence! Not a Word to Be Spoken in $25,000 Balm Suit at Chicago.

Ru Vnitrd Press CHICAGO, Dec. 14.—Silence will reign in Judge Pam’s superior courtroom Feb. 3, when the $25,000 alienation of affections suit brought by Mrs. Lena Mickenham against Mrs. Louise Rutherford Mickenham comes up for trial. Both women are deaf mutes. The husband, whose affections are in question, also is deaf and dumb, as are all witnesses in the case. The first Mrs. Mickenham charges that her former husband Ashley Mickenham of Wichita, Kan., met Miss Rutherford at a party and began making love to her in sign language. Mickenham’s wooing was said to have been so ardent that after an evening spent in “conversations” with Miss Rutherford he was unable to talk to his wife “becuase of the weariness of his hands.” Because of the scandal aroused by the inaudible, but visible, lovemaking, Mrs. Lena Mickenham obtained a divorce. Tw r o weeks later her ex-husband married Miss Rutherford.

Donald DuShane, Columbus find.) school superintendent, named acting superintendent by the Indianapolis school board Friday, still is inclined to reject the offer, he said today. It was expected a definite decision would be announced Monday.

All in Confidence “Anything said W’as in confidence,” he said. DuShane said he had learned his first appointment was irregular and felt no answer to it was necessary, and that he had not had time to cbnsider the appointment as acting superintendent because he did not receive notification until Friday night, by special delivery letter. “I don’t know what is behind the action of the board and I must give it some consideration before making a definite statement to the board,” he stated. It was reported board members planned to call another special meeting Monday to name another acting superintendent if word from DuShane has not been received by that time.

NEW COALITION IN EFFORT TO PASS TAX CUT G. 0. P. "Regulars’ Combine With Democrats for Enactment. BY PAUL R. MALLON United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Dec. 14. A powerful new coalition was pushing the administration's $160,000,000 tax reduction bill through the senate today with such pressure it was expected to be enacted into law by night. The regular Republicans, W’ho have complained strongly against coalition since their tariff bill was revised by the senate, coalesced with the Democrats to effect the adoption of the tax measure. The farm bloc w r hich had a tariff coalition with Democrats found itself out in the cold with only fifteen votes or less to cast against the administration tax proposal. Associated with the regulars in the new' coalition w r as Joseph R. Grundy, new' Pennsylvania senator, and his colleague, David A. Reed of Pennsylvania, who denounced the farm bloc Democratic tariff coalition, terming the farm bloc members “worse than Communists” lor their action. Although- the weakened farm bloc was fighting to prevent a limitation of debate, the new coalition has such numerical strength that resistance seemed useless and a final vote is anticipated within a few hours. The group expects to protect the measure against any amendment, and it has more voting strength than the farm bloc-Demo-cratic coalition. Monday the senate will return to the tariff bill with prospects of its enactment by mid January. The senate privileges and elections committee has been called by Chairman Shortridge to meet Monday on the Grundy credentials and the resolution referred to it by the senate, proposing to deprive Grundy of his seat. The meeting is merely perfunctory and a speedy report in Grundy’s favor is expected. The house is working on the agricultural department supply bill, but will lay it aside Monday to take up the $135,000,000 public buildings bill, appropriating money for federal building projects throughout the country.

A woman, who promised “imporItant information concerning the guilty man” in return for keeping her identity secret, communicated I with authorities from Madison, Wis., they announced. Fear for her life had kept the unnamed woman silent thus far, investigators said, j Rockford officials interviewed her and revealed that an arrest was expected soon. Miss Gummersheimer, pretty 35-year-old language teacher in the Rockford high school, was clubbed to death in her apartment here last Sunday. A length of gas pipe beside the bed on which her body was found indicated how the murder had been committed and an open window indicated how the slayer entered. But countless suspects, many of them men admirers, have all proved alibis. . Another possibility holding the attention of the police was that a maniac, hatless and coatless, who attacked a young farmhand with a club, might have beaten Miss Gummersheimer to death. A search of the wooded section near the lonely road where the attack occurred had been fruitless. George Meredith, the farmhand appeared at police headquarters, blood running from a gash in his | forehead. He told how his assail - ant, “a light-haired, powerfully
