MAYOR CALLED UNFAIR JUDGE Wabash Executive Declared Biased in Liquor Cases. Times Special WABASH, Ind., Aug. 19.—Mayor Showalter and Attorney H. N. Hipskind are continuing their controversy over trial of cases in which liquor is involved. The attorney maintains his stand that the mayor, in presiding over city court in such cases, assumes the role of a law enforcement officer instead of a jurist and has been taking a change of venue to other courts. In the latest case, Hipskind asked a change of venue for trial of C. C. Hiner, charged with being drunk. The mayor protested, declaring he belieevs himself fair minded. In each case changed, the city pays a fee of $lO to a special judge. The atorney says that because Q. E. Millner, sitting as a special judge, acquitted a liquor case defendant recently, the mayor no longer puts his name on lists from which such judges are selected.

In the Stock Market
(Bv Thomson & McKinnon) NEW YORK, Aug. 19.—The intimation from London that England and India are close to a peace settlement is highly encouraging. This possibility seems also to have been reflected in the improved silver situation. Englands industries, we know, have suffered severely from the Indian unrest. Nor have we escaped it as reflected in the curtailed British demand for our raw products, such as cotton, copper, etc. In the last stages of a business depression it is always difficult to sense improvement. Trade statistics usually reflect activity after it has begun. A friend of ours wires from St. Louis that the wholesale dry goods and shoe houses report to him they enjoyed Monday the best for a long time. This coincides with the New York wholesale trade advices pointed out Monday. Reports of this character, we believe, give us the best inkling at this time of any quickening of business. Nor should the gain in commercial acceptances, as well as the federal reserves preparations for increased commercial credit demand, be overlooked. These factors, which must necessarily precede the customary business barometers, all strengthen our belief in better conditions. A friendly attitude toward the stock market seems justified.
WHEAT PRICES HOLD FIRM ON FOREIGN NEWS Corn Futures Sell Lower in Early Trading: Oats Move Higher. Bu United Press CHICAGO, Aug. 19.—An unsettled wheat market that chahged so fast in the latter part of the session that the tickers could not keep pace with the actual sales, closed unevenly on the Board of Trade today. Selling by commission houses and locals shortly after noon found no support and prices broke from the early highs to within a small fraction of the season's lows before recovering. Com was easy from the start with sentiment decidedly mixed, but regained some of the lost ground on the late strength in wheat. Oats went to anew low for the crop in the May delivery, but, like corn, rallied fractionally with wheat. At the close wheat was !s to % cent higher; corn was % to 1 cent lower, and oats was % to 7 s cent lower. Provisions were firm. Liverpool showed more strength and continued its advance, closing % to 1V cents higher. Foreign buying of Manitobas and American hard winters was reported during the morning, but not confirmed. Cash prices were Vz cent low’er. Receipts were 65 cars early. Starting unevenly lower on reports of further rains and moderate temperatures over most of the corn belt, corn broke sharply on general selling. The break brought in good buying, encouraged by the rally in wheat, and prices regained the former close to stand about steady at mid-session. The market was quieter than Monday. Lecounte issued a bullish corn report which had a small effect. Cash prices were unchanged to 14 cent higher. Receipts were 128 cars. Oats eased and recovered with the other grains, but moved more slowly and in a narrower range. At mid-morning the market was steady. Trade was slow and dull. Cash prices were unchanged. Receipts were 69 cars. Chicago Grain Table —Aug. 19WHEAT Prcv. Open. High. Low. Close, close, 3 4 .87Va .87Va Dec .92 ! 4 93V2 .90 3 /4 .91 7 8 .92 Mar . .96 3 4 98 .95 3 96,2 .96^8 May..
