VEHLING CALLED BULLDOZER BY STATE WITNESS Tactics of Coroner Are Assailed by Relative of Gas Victims. (Continued from Page 1) he was returning to Detroit as soon as the defense completed questioning him. "We’ll discharge you in a hurry,” Inman said. “Then I’ll be gone in a hurry too, Stickel declared. Marion Van Sickle, traffic officer, and former police emergency officer, first defense witness, related how he probed the gas death cases at the Stickel home, Feb. 26, 1931. Sent to Vehling’s Morgue He told the jury Vehling declared: “It looks like these old folks were just sitting here when the gas killed them.” Van Sickle said Vehling instructed the bodies be sent to “my place of business on the avenue.” He referred to Vehling’s undertaking establishment at 702 Virginia avenue. Mrs. Louise Hauensteine, 326 Caven street, friend of the Stickeis and Vehling, was the second witness for Vehling. With Fred C. Gause, special judge, holding court Friday, despite the courthouse holiday for Lincoln’s birthday, the jury probably will begin deliberation on evidence early next week. Vehling’s alleged assertion: “I'm the law in Marion county, what I say goes,” was reiterated several times by witnesses Wednesday. The alleged remark was addressed to Mrs. Margaret Arnold, 1014 South Gale street, by Vehling in his undertaking establishment, she testified. The murder trial of D. C. Stephenson, former Indiana Klan dragon, was injected into Vehling’s trial by Eph Inman, attorney for Vehling, who was counsel in the Stephenson case. Recalls Stephenson Remark Mrs. Gertrude Stuck, 2669 Boyd avenue, daughter of Mrs. Arnold, related she heard Vehling claim he was ‘t’he law” in the county. Inman asked her if she didn’t recall the remark from reading trial events in the Klan leader’s case. Stephenson often was quoted as asserting, “I’m the law in Indiana.” The woman denied this, declaring, as did other witnesses, that she heard the remark addressed to her mother. Building Permits T. A.

THEY TELL ME

BY BEN STERN FRANK DAILEY, 1928 Democratic nominee for Governor, whose silence regarding his ambitions has hung like a threat over the Governor outlook in his party, is expected to announce within a few days that he will not be a candidate for the nomination this year. A statement which he is preparing for early publication will set forth his views on the situation and is expected to resemble in several particulars that issued Monday by A1 Smith. There can be little doubt that Dailey was kept from making an announcement a long time ago, which would probably have been that of candidacy, by the fact that he did not desire to be used as a catspaw by Frank Mayr Jr., secretary of state and the anti-Peters-McNutt faction. When leaders of that group called upon the 1928 nominee on several occasions aim pleaded that he become a candidate, he maintained a strict silence. nun In looking back over the 1928 primary campaign, he recalled, that those now most loud in their protestations of support were among the most ardent in favoring the candidacy of John Fredrick, Kokomo manufactui'er. Dailey also knew that upon his

SWINE VALUES SHOW LOSS OF 85 PER CENT Retail Pork Price Declines Only 22 Per Cent for Year. By United Press WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.—The price of hogs today is 85 per cent less than a year ago, according to bureau of agricultural economics of the department of agriculture. The retail price of pork products, however, Is only 22 per cent less. The total number of hogs at the beginning of this year was 9.4 per cent above the number a year before, the increase representing about 5.000,000 head. About 3,000,000 of this increase was in the corn belt. Hogs showed the largest percentage of increase in numbers and suffered the most drastic price decline of any class of livestock. The average price dropped from $11.36 to $6.14 a head during 1931. Increase Follows Decline Last year’s increase in the number of hogs—which certainly had much to do with the drop in price—followed three years of decline, j However, the danger that the 1933 report will show a total number in excess of the 59,511,000 reported in January is indicated in the bureau’s report of the “breeding intentions” of the industry. When adjusted for the usual spear between the breeding intentions reported in September and the actual farrowing reported the following June, the survey indicates there will be about 2 per cent more pigs farrowed this spring than last. However, the consumption of pork products has increased about 6 per cent—probably as the result of the 22 per cent drop in prices. Many Factors Considered At the beginning of the present year, there were about 559,000,000 pounds of pork in warehouses, a 7 per cent increase over the year before. The bureau was very careful not to forecast the 1932 activities of the hog market, but it did sum up favorable and unfavorable factors that will affect it. “Unfavorable factors confronting corn belt producers in the marketing year 1932-33 are an expanding hog production in the south and west, increasing numbers of cattle on farms, and continued large slaughter of sheep and lambs,” the bureau reported. “Favorable factors are decreased hog production in the corn belt and decreased European hog production in 1932.”

taking the field to battle Paul V. McNutt for the nomination, he was paving the way for a move which the Mayr group was anticipating eagerly—and that is a deadlock. It was thsir desire that not only Dailey, but a half dozen others, representing various counties and districts, be brought into the field and then, when the convention found itself in what appeared to be an interminable fight, to throw in the name of Mayr for the nomination for Governor. But Dailey outsmarted them. He rerfained from issuing a statement clearing his stand until it is almost too late to go ahead with the plan. M M 8 A proof in point is this; Several weeks ago Mayr and E. Kirk McKinney, Democratic city chairman, called upon Frederick E. VanNuys and begged him to become a candidate for the nomination for Governor. VanNuys listened gravely to their pleas and promises of support and then announced for United States senator. This was as effective a boomerang as could be desired. With the announcement of noncandidacy on the part of Dailey within a few days, the opposition to McNutt will have to think up anew one if it expects to bl6clp the McNutt steam roller.

BULLISH NEWS SENDS FUTURE MARTUPWARD Strength in Securities and Cables Factor in Early Deals. BY HAROLD E. RAINVILLE United Press Staff Correspondent CHICAGO, Feb. 11. Great strength in stocks pnd unexpectedly higher cables gave wheat a sharp upturn as the Board of Trade opened today. There was a rush of buying orders at the start with some covering for over the holiday. Liverpool was higher on firmer offers and a better demand from millers. Selling against offers and scattered profit-taking checked the advance. Corn followed wheat upward with the heavy rains another stimulating factor. Oats was firm in dull trade. At the opening wheat was % to 2 cents higher, corn was % to 1% cents higher and oats % cent higher.: Provisions were slow but steady with a firm undertone. Liverpool was higher than expected and by mid-aftefnoon had gained % to % cent. Corn was offered in fairly large amounts by the country Wednesday. The cash demand was slightly improved and this with the strength in wheat gave the market a moderately strong tone. The weather is unsettled over the belt with some snows in lowa. For nine consecutive days oats has failed to get above the previous close, although the market shows no real weakness. Declines bring in buying, as in the other grains, holding the market to a narrow range.
