FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL
MARKET SHOWED STRENGTH
Dealings Were Less Diversified Than
 During the Previous Session.

New York, May IS. Time-worn peace rumors and adoption by the house of representatives of the meas ure providing for a retroactive tax on incomes caused sharp reversal in the stock market today after an early pe- riod of general strength. The short interest used these devel- opnents to renew it's attacks upon quoted values Their efforts were en- hanced by weakness in automobile shares and heaviness in shippings and inactive specialtfes. Lowest prices were made in the steady offerings of the last hour, when many early gains of one to three points were replaced by net losses of as much.
 Transactions were smaller in volume than the million share output of the previous session and dealings were less diversified. United States Steel and nitions, metals, shippings and few specialties of the class represented by Industrial Alcohol made up the great bulk of the days business.

 For want of a definite reason, the setback in motors was ascribed to IraOe cOnOlL1OnS, nOIdply the increased cost of operations. General Motors suffered an extreme loss of four points, Chandler lost five and Studebaker, Maxwell and Willys- s-Overland reacted two to three points.
 Shippings fell away steadily, the failure of the Mercantile Marine di- rectors to act on deferred preferred dividends being accounted as an hd- verse factor. Marine preferred drop ped 1-2 points and Atlantic, Gulf and West Indies made a similar de- cline. Pacific Mail, however, retained all it's 1 1-2 point gain.
 Metals and oils were among the other reactionary issues with low rails. chief among the latter being Denver and Rio Grande preferred, which fell five points on few sales High grade rails forfeited most of their forenoon advances of one to two points. Total sales amounted to 93o,Gc shares.
 Bonds were irregular on narrow trading. Total sales (par value) amounted to $2,960, 900.
 United States fours rose 1-4 per cent. on call. other issues losing from 1-2 to 1 per cent. on actual transac- tions.

The transfer of enough players from the minor leagues to the majors to fill up any vacancies caused by the draft ing of ball players for war purposes iR the proposition placed before thS magnates connected with organized baseball. In case conscription riddles the ranks of the National and Ameri- can leagues, the International league and American association, two of the three class A organizations, will be expected to furnish players to keep the two major league clubs going.

CHIEF DENIES POLICE
BANDED WITH THIEVES
Brands as False Story That
Officers Aid Auto Bandits
to Secure Reward.

Chief of Police f. l.. Lucas empnat-
ically denied last night that any OF
the Tulsa police officers now serving
were guilty of forming any clique
with thieves to deal in stolen automo-
biles with the purpose of receiving
benefit in the form of rewards
while 'Blackie' Heimar, the patrol
driver, who was discharged n week
ago, may have been crooked. there
has been no evidence found that can
connect Officers Pinkston or Foor
with any such practices" the chief
said.
In reference to Eugene Augustus,
the automobile garage owner who is
said to have made affidavit support
ing n story of his connection with the
officers, the chief said:
I'VE arrested Augustus wednesday
on investigation in regard to the steal
ing Of an automobile from Oklahoma
City. The car was recovered from
here and returned to the insurance
people. We did not know at the time
that he had been drafted and before
we could complete our work had to
lot him go so he .ould leave with
the troops yesterday.
ut has been my orders and the
custom of the police department to
never ask for rewards for the recov-
cry OF stolen automobiles. Officer3
Foor and Helmers have recovered
more stolen cars than any other men,
ters of the department, and while they
have been given rewards by somo
grateful car owners, there are hun
dreds Of cases where not dime Of
reward has been paid"
