THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

WHEAT PRICES ARE UNEVEN IN NARROW RANGE Corn and Oats Are Firm on Scattered Buying and Early Pressure. By United Press CHICAGO, £eb. 26.—A better feeling was evident in grains on the Board of Trade at the start today though prices held close to the previous close. Deferred wheat deliveries were steady to a small fraction lower in sympathy with weakness at Liverpool, that market being dull and declining. Corn was steady to higher with scattered buying * and little pressure. Oats were uneven, March again being under pressure. Sentiment Bearish At the opening, old wheat was unchanged to %c higher, new wheat was unchanged to Vic lower, corn was unchanged to %c higher, and oats were V*c lower to %c higher. Provisions were firm and more active, generally higher. Liverpool was not as strong as expected today and lost its early advance to stand unchanged to Vs cent lower at mid-afternoon. Buenos Aires was unchanged at the start. The impression prevails that a statement is forthcoming from the farm board regarding its disposition of wheat holdings within a short time. This has a tendency to check operations. Sentiment is wholly bearish owing to the large stocks in exporting countries. The unusual weather prevails over the entire grain belt. Canada still is without moisture. Shortage Reported Corn is still arriving at Chicago from other terminals where the shortage of storage room is becoming acute. The only selling by the farmers is on the strong- spots. Warm weather has lessened the feeding and has given the producer more corn to sell. It is attractive because of the low price lewel on futures. Com remains the chief influence from the value of oats as a feed grain, which is gradually weakening the cash situation.

By United Press HOLLYWOOD. Feb. 26 Freddie Walters, blonde baby vamp from the New York shows, who came to Hollywood expecting to be greeted by a brass band and couldn’t even find her studio, finally has convinced someone that she had signed a contract and ought to be put to work. For two days after she stepped down from a train, Miss Walters roamed the Hollywood “jungles,” trying to tell somebody that the New York office of Warner Bros, had hired her to appear in pictures, No one met her at the train. From her hotel she started calling up every Warner Bros.’ number in the telephone book. Finally, she sent a telegram to New York and the Warner studio here received the following message; Contract Confirmed “Received wire from Teddie Walters, who is in Hollywood now, stating that no one knows anything regarding her contract. This contract is okay. No mention of her Hollywood address in her wire. Please locate her and advise.” Local newspapers carried her picture with a headline, “Teddie Walters, Where Are You?” and she appeared at the studios Wednesday. Among other things she discovered was that her name had been changed to Polly Walters so no one would think she is a leading man. Blondes All Around “I thought I was going to be a big shot in Hollywood,” said the 19-year-old and much-relieved 108pound girl. “At Chicago a whole pack of newspaper reporters greeted me. Was I thrilled? Well, you guess! “I had come out here determined to be a baby vamp of a distinctive type. Then I walked down Hollywood boulevard looking for the studio, and did I see blondes! They were looking in shop windows, waiting on tables and everything else. “Then I thought maybe the studio had decided what difference did one blonde more or less make.” Miss Walters is a native of Columbus, 0., and is a protege of Eddie Cantor, who found her in a New York dancing school and made her his vaudeville partner.

TWO DAYS PASS WITH NO MOVE ON INCOME TAX Speaker Myers Must Select Conferees as Next Step. Forty-eight hours had passed without any steps having been taken toward compromising senate and house differences on the personal income tax when the Indiana general assembly recessed at noon today. Twice house Republican leaders adroitly have indicated the blame rests upon Speaker Walter Myers for failing to appoint a conference committee authorized by the motion the house adopted Tuesday noon refusing concurrence in senate amendments to the bill. It was Representative James M. Knapp (Wayne), Republican floor leader, who Tuesday afternoon, inquiring ever so respectfully: “Has the Speaker named the conference committee on House Bill 383?” Speaker Blamed And to keep the delay blame pinned upon the Speaker, Representative Miles J. Furnas (Randolph), Republican house caucus chairman, late Wednesday repeated the question and received from Myers a curt “No,” which indicated the Speaker was becoming annoyed with the minority’s insistence. The senate has no excuse for further consideration of the bill or appointment of a conference committee until Myers first has named his conferees. The delay increased the belief ot many legislators that the personal income tax measure never will become a law, due to probable inability of house and senate to agree or. amendments each appended to the original bill. The conference committee will be charged with working out compromises suitable to both houses. Their rejection by either house will cause the bill to die without reaching the Governor. “Matter Mentioned” No such delay was entailed when Representative Delph L. McKesson (Dem., Marshall), majority floor leader, Wednesday moved the house refuse to concur in senate amendments to the house bill changing the open season for hunting rabbits and squirrels. In accordance with the motion, Speaker Myers immediately named a conference committee, although two days have seen no such action toward settlement of disagreement on the personal income tax bill chief revenue-raising measure of the current assembly. McKesson said he has “mentioned the matter of a conference committee on the income tax bill to the Speaker several times. HEARING IS POSTPONED Mrs. Daisy Crowe to Face Judge Next Month.

By Times Special COLUMBUS, Ind., Feb. 26.—James Carter, who was taken to the state penal farm to serve forty days, is back home after having spent but four days as a prisoner Carter was arrested Jan. 17, on an intoxication charge, to which he pleaded guilty in city court and was fined S4O. He was unable to pay the fine or have it stayed, which meant that he would be required to serve forty days at the state farm. He was released on his own recognizance to place is affairs so he could leave. According to law a sentence begins on the day it is imposed, and therefore Carter had served most of his term before he was finally taken to the farm.

Two other such cases have occurred here, that of John Hobson and Joe Griner, who were released on their own recognizance after they were fined $lO and costs amounting to S4O. Both left the city, and in case they remain away forty days they can not be rearrested, as their fines were not stayed and they were not placed under bond.
