Grain Market

CHICAGO, Dec. 30.--Although wheat
showed some weakness at the outset
today, prices afterward seemed in
clined to harden Unfavorable harvest
reports from Argentine acted as an
offset for improved conditions in Aus
tralia. Besides, the European visible
supply exhibited a substantial de-
crease Opening prices ranged from
1s@A lower to Il advance. December
continued easy, but the more active
options made n moderate gain.
A setback In final quotations at
Liverpool brought about a subse-
quent downturn here. Reports OF
Canadian freight rate reductions
were denied, and the probable re-
moval of the wheat duty was reit-
Grated. The market closed easy, y
to M@A under last night.
Tightness In the December delivery
gave firmness to the rest of the corn
market. Offerings were scarce. Prices
started 1s@1z off to lie up, and steadied
not far below the top level of the
opening figures.
A decided reaction followed, the
result of free selling based on fine
weather. The close was weak, lsqsb
to lie net lower.
Shorts in the oats trade covered on
account of the corn bulge. When their
wants were satisfied. however, the
market relaxed.
Provisions eased off little in con-
sequence of the downward slant of
values at the yards. First sales varied
from the same as last to a decline
of 2Is.

Federal Commissions Should
Govern Safety Laws, He Says

WASHINGTON, Dec. 30.-Legisla-
lures should enact broad and compre-
hensive industrial safety laws, but APP
plication OF the general rule to con-
ditions should be left to administra-
tive commissions, was the opinion ex-
pressed by Charles II. Crownhart,
chairman of the Wisconsin Industrial
Commission. at the opening session
here today of the American Associa-
ton for LABOR Legislation and the
American Political Science Associa-
ton.
Frank F. Walsh, chairman, and
Mrs. ]. Borden Hartman, member
of the Federal Industrial Relations
Commission; Professor John r. Com
mons. of the University of Wiscon-
sin; James A. Lowell, chairman of
the Massachusetts Board of Labor
and Industries; Thomas /. Parkinson
and Edward I. Devine, were among
those on the program speaking on
the general question of "administra-
ton and industrial relations Sec
rotary of Labor Wilson presided.
After describing the good results of
public utility commissions whose or
ders have been sustained by the
courts, Mr. Crownhart declared that
the same principle was working well
now in the field of labor legislation.

TRUST
GETS INTO LINE
Follows Suit of Wire Lines by
Voluntarily Complying With
Antitrust Law.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 30.-The jew
elers' Trust. against which a bill in
equity was filed by the Department
terms laid down in the governments
brief and will escape prosecution.
The demand of the attorney-gen-
eral that the combination, consisting
of the National Wholesale Jewelers.
Association and the National Asso-
citation of Manufacturing jewelers.
should refrain from making agree
ments within the association prohib-
iting the manufacturers of jewelry
from selling direct to the retailers
instead of the wholesalers and job
bers is TO be complied with by the
trust.
It was pointed out in the govern
ment's brief, which was filed in the
United States District Court for the
Southern District Of New York, that
by secret arrangements the trust was
able to eliminate all competition In
the jewelry trade except between
wholesalers and iobbers.
Since the filing of the government
suit, officials of the jewelers. Trust
have conferred with Attorney-G
eral McReynolds and Assistant Attor-
ney- General Todd. The trusts repre-
sentatives have assured the depart
ment that they will agree to abide by
the demands of the government in
the future and will accept decree
which will be issued by the United
States District Court at New York
setting aside future agreements be-
tween the trust and the wholesalers
and jobbers and permitting the re-
tailers to purchase their goods direct
from the manufacturers. The case is
to come before the court about the
middle OF January
The jewelers. Trust is the second
large corporation to reach an agree
ment with the Department of Justice
without recourse to judicial proceed,
ings. The American Telephone and
Telegraph Company recently agreed
to the demands of the government to
divorce itself from its holdings in the
Western Union Telegraph Company
and make other concessions. 1t Is
expected that other combinations, OPP
Grating In violation of the Sherman
Antitrust law. will soon follow suit
and by their own initiative avoid
prosecution.

COnfesses to Poison Pen
Letters: Had Written 500

OAKLAND, Cal, Dec. 30.-A FIVE
year search for a woman who Is al
legged to have written hundreds of
letters to professional people of this
city defaming the characters of promi-
nent women and sending letters to
others demanding various sums of
money on pain of death in the event
of refusal has been ended by the ar
rest of Mrs. Mary L. Christman, wife
of plumber. She is said to have
made a complete confession.
1t was Mrs. Christman's method,
according to the alleged confession,
to copy the names of society women
from the newspapers. She would sign
these names to letters when writing
slanderous attacks on the objects of
her envy or hatred. She is said to
have confessed the authorship of 500
slanderous letters. Many of them
were turned over to the police for in
vestigatlon from time to time. The
letters attempting blackmail were
signed "black- hand"

London Stock Market

LONDON, Dec. 30.-Money was in
strong demand and discount rates
were easy today.
The stock market was depressed
most of the day, especially Brazilian
and Mexican rails and Grand Trunk
shares on fears of dividend reductions.
Forced liquidation weakened South
American traction stocks, but small
general recovery occurred in the
afternoon on repurchases. Mexican
rails improved following the an
nouncement that arrangements are
proceeding for the payment of the
January interest. The settlement was
concluded satisfactorily.
American securities were quiet and
steady during the forenoon. Canadian
Pacific advanced 134 points. but the
rest of the list hardly moved until late
in the session, when New York buy
ing improved prices a fraction. The
closing was steady.

CITY ADVERTISEMENTS
Judge Puts Roosevelt in
the Ranks of DemagOgueS

OKLAHOMA CITY, Dec. 30.-That
the recall idea is not popular in Ok
lahoma, with the lawyers at any rate,
in spite of its adoption by this State,
was evidenced by the applause given
last night to Judge Rome r. Brown
Sd, of Minneapolis. who was selected
at the last meeting of the American
Bar Association to lecture against the
recall.
Judge Brown delivered the annual
address before the Oklahoma State
Bar Association on 1.-THE Recall of
Constitutional Safeguards" After
quoting Aristotle's description of
demagogue, Judge Brown said in
part This description never applied
to any man better than to that ex-
President who Illuminated his attacks
upon our constitution, at one time be-
fore the public at home, then from the
jungles of Africa, and now is telling
the citizens of the South American re-
publics, whose governments are mod
eled upon our own, that our constitu-
tional system is wrong and that the
prime function of our courts is per-
formed only through the usurpation OF
judicial powers"
