BLIND VETERAN'S DOG ‘WITNESS' IN COURT FIGHT Perfectly Trained Animal Is Defense Evidence in Nuisance Trial. Bv United Press OLATHE, Kan., June 11.—Erich, a shepherd dog, guided his blinded World •war veteran-master into court today to vindicate his profession. By Erich's presence and his masters testimony, attorneys for R. L. Gray, vice-president of the Sheffield Steel Corporation, hope to prove that the steel man’s hobby of training dogs to act as "eyes” for blind veterans is not a nuisance, as charged by suburban residents of Kansas City, Kan. Erich’s almost human intelligence has delivered P. R. Fitzpatrick, Salina (Kan.) real estate man, from a state of dependence by guiding him safely through days of business and lines of traffic. And to repay Gray, Fitzpatrick came into court to tell how much Erich meant to him. Erich is the first dog Gray’s trainer, Albert Henze, has brought to perfection, but several others are learning rapidly, and Erich probably will be the last to come from the school if the court action to abolish or remove the kennels is successful, Gray said.

GRAIN FUTURES DOWN SHARPLY AT THECLOSE Market Easily Influenced All Through Session; Trading Light. Bv United Prr*t CHICAGO, June 11. —Wheat worked sharply lower on the Board of Trade today under persistent selling by locals and commission houses with support lacking. The market was easily influenced and weak from the very start, showing little signs of a rally. Buying against bids checked the decline and brought about a moderate recovery near the close. All other North American markets were easy, but failed to show as much weakness as Chicago. Com was firm early, but broke badly with wheat. Oats started easy and move but little during the day. At the close wheat was IVi to IT k cents lower, corn was T 4 to 1% cent lower. Provisions were steady to lower. Weakening at the close on the. Winnipeg break, Liverpool was % to % cents lower. Although the reports on spring wheat conditions as of June 1 by the United States and Canadian governments were slightly bullish, they had no effect. Trading was light and mostly of a local character early. Cash prices were unchanged. Receipts were fifteen cars. Corn advanced fractionally at the start, but eased when wheat prices slumped and was off at midsession. Country offerings were not large and were mostly too high for acceptance here. Trade was rather slow and dull. Cash prices were unchanged. Receipts were 181 cars. Oats eased a minor fraction at the start on the favorable weather and the lack of demand, but held steady at the decline at the midmorning. Cash prices were unchanged. Receipts were twent/*. seven cars. Chicago Grain Table —June 11— WHEAT— Prev. Open. High Low. Close, close.

In the Stock Market
tßv Thomson & McKinnon I NEW YORK, June 11.—'The tariff issue promises definitely to be brought to a head before the close of the week. Adding further weight to the protests already voiced, we have the sharp denunciation of the tariff bill by the President of the American Bankers Association. Washington is beginning to realize that perhaps much of the stagnancy of business may be directly attributed to the uncertainty surrounding the tariff. Eagerness to remove that uncertainty is apparent. Defeat of the proposed measure may yet be the answer to the earnest efforts of our leading bankers and industrialists. Decreased steel tonnage figures and further falling off in car loadings continue to paint an unsatisfactory picture of present business. The stock market, however, is prepared for this sort of news. Poor earnings statements and perhaps dividend omissions, which are yet to come, should occasion no surprise. One encouraging development noted is the character cf buying which appeared yesterday, it was the best in a month and was such to inspire confidence on the part of the investor. With the elimination of the tariff bill, business confidence should revive materially. Trade barometers will take on a different hue. Therefore, we believe stocks are a purchase on any reaction.

GRAPHIC ‘INSIDE’ OF STOCK PANIC IS MADEPUBLIG Tense Story Is Told by Whitney, President of Exchange. BOSTON, June 11.—The inride story of the stock market panic of October, 1929. was told here ov Richard Whitney, president of the New York Stock Exchange, in a speech before the Boston Association of Stock Exchange firms. He pictured graphically the “cellar meeting" of the governors of the exchange in a stuffy room under their palatial quarters in order that the financial community might not be alarmed. Two Morgan partners, attempting to avoid attention by entering without identifying themselves, were held up by guards until a governor rescued them. He described the dramatic announcement of the shortening of the trading session which he made from the rostrum. When the secret meeting decided to curtail the sessions, it fell to whitney as acting president to make the announcement. Traders Broke Into Cheers The brokers, expecting an announcement of a failure or suspension, waited anxiously, and broke into cheers when he had finished. Whitney expressed the belief that the exchange followed the best course possible in the panic, that of letting it burn itself out. Whitney, referring throughout his speech to the “panic,” a term once in ill-favor among Stock Exchange officials, related numerous events hitherto kept secret. He announced for the first time, for example, the result of the questionnaires on the bear position after the major break when professional traders were hammering prices still further. , Served to Quiet "These questionnaires,” he said, “were quickly analyzed and it was found that the aggregate amount of borrowed stock was so small as to be almost inconsequential; being, in fact, only about one-eighth of 1 per cent of the value of all stocks listed on the exchange. Incidentally, the questionnaires served to quiet traders and end panicky liquidation, coming as they did when a reported bid of SSO each for a million shares of Standard Oil of New Jersey was made. Whitney stressed the fact that the market break was unique in that not a single stock exchange went into bankruptcy. Crash Net Without Value The collapse was net without value. Whitney indicated, because of the lessons it taught. First of all, he explained, the need of a speedier ticker was driven home. The exchange soon will have installed a high speed mechanism capable of handling 10,000,000-share markets. A second lesson learned was the safety of brokers’ loans. Whitney pointed out that the loan total was deflated from $8,503,000.0000 to barely more than $'1,003,003,003 “without the loss of a penny to a single lender.” A third item, he went on, was the “necessity of maintaining flexible requirements concerning margins, not only upon security collateral loans, but also upon brokers’ customers’ accounts.”
