ARSON GASES GAIN 16 Pleaded Guilty in Two Months, Hogston Says. Sixteen persons pleaded guilty to arson charges during the months of October and November, the twomonth report of State Fire Marshal Alfred E. Hogston disclosed today. “Arson has been on the increase during the last year, due to business conditions,” Hogston explained. “It is our belief that arson investigators probably reduce arson 60 per cent. The fact that the investigators are present throughout the state discourages would-be incendiarists.'’ Forty-four new cases were investigated by the department during the two-month period. There were 311 inspections made by the inspection division. . INJURED IN CRASH City Man Hurt as Truck Skids Into Car.

BANKERS BACK PROPOSED BILLS State Senator Drafts Measures for Legislature. Three bills designed to strengthen and improve banking conditions in Indiana, which will be introduced in the legislature by Senator Winfield Miller (Rep., Indianapolis), will be backed by the Indiana Bankers’ Association, it was announced today. A subcommittee of the association discussed the bills at a meeting at the Columbia Club AJpnday night and a meeting of the entire legislative committee of the association is scheduled for similar discussion next Monday, according to Walter S. Greenough, committee chairman. Miller’s bills have been drafted in co-operation with Luther F. Symons, state banking commissioner. Last week he conferred with Governor Harry G. Leslie regarding them and they are expected to have administration support. The bills deal with the deposit liability of banks, restricting loans, and liquidation. The latter matter would be handled through the state banking department and thus avoid excessive receiver fees, Miller said. Such legislation already is on the statute books of thirty-seven states, he declared.

SHORT COVERING MOVES FUTURES MARKETHIGHER All Grains Sell Higher on Strong Cables; Corn Holds Firm. By United Press CHICAGO, Dec. 23.—July wheat opened firm on the Chicago Board of Trade today after reaching the lowest levels since 1901 during late transactions Monday. Com, which was at the mercy of wheat Monday, was stronger and rallied a major fraction Oats were firm. The strength in wheat was attributed to short covering preceding the holidays and to higher Liverpool and Buenos Aires markets, whose weakness precipitated the decline Monday. v At the opening, wheat was unchanged to J sc higher with July unchanged to %c up: com was % to 3 ic higher, and oats were U to %c higher. Provisions were steady to weak; December lard dropped another 40 points. Liverpool Moves Up Liverpool was not as low as expected and reversed Itself to show a % to %c advance at mid-aftemoon. Buenos Aires started unchanged but was l'*c higher just before noon. It was announced by President Milnor that the prices of old crop wheat futures would j|e maintained by the stabilization corporation. He takes an optimistic view’ of the situation based on the feeding and normal disappearance between now and the end of the crop year, July 1. Asa result of the artificial situation, July, anew crop month, is I6 3 a cents under May, an old crop month. Corn Steady The trade is of the opinion that this will take a long time to work out, as Canada and the United States still have large surpluses and Argentina and Australia arc about to ship anew crop. Com is now at levels where the majority of traders believe that it is not wise to press short sales. The movement is fairly large, but according to the trade has not been large enough to so depress the market. Oats did not go into new ground Monday, but there was heavy selling by a house generally working for a leading local industry. Chicago Grain Table —DSC. 23WHEAT (old*-- Prev. Hiyii.
