locomotive. :. REACT 5
SHARPLY ON 'CHANGE

New York. April 3o.-omission OF the
| extra dividend on steel. common.
brought about a sharp reaction in the
stock market today. At the opening
prices we're not materially changed
from those OF yesterday. but steel I'M
! mediately began to weaken. Before
ten minutes had passed it was down
two points and It did not cease its re-
action until il had gone down about
four points from its previous close. Be-
fore steel reached it's low price new
high records had been made in about
dozen Of the issues now so popular
with the general public
American Can went to a new high
record. Manhattan Shirt went sailing
to the highest point at which 1t ever
was traded In
Marine, common. New England Fuel.
Keystone United States Rubber. Amer
lean Steel Foundries. Ajax Tire and
Beet Sugar were in the advancing coll
umn. On tho other hand steel was
Joined In its decline by United Cigar
Stores and Tobacco Products which
were the original leaders Of the bull
market weeks ago. Baldwin. southern
Pacific. Sinclair. Texas Oil. Royal
Dutch. Crucihle and the Railroad
Equipment shares declined in SYM
patty with steel.
Trading was on a very large scale,
more than . million shares having been
traded In by / o'clock. Total for the
day was more than 100000 shares.
The close showed losses in 1854 stocks
and gains In sixty-two.
II is well known in Wall street that
the leaders Of the Steel industry liqui-
dated their speculative lines OF steel
stocks sometime ago. They did this
particularly after Director General
Hines. Of the railroads. had made his
stand against fixed prices for ma
terials. Mr.. Hines IL blamed for most
of tho confusion in the Industrial
world Announcement today that fur
Their negotiations would be opened had
q cheering effect on the stock market.
The announcement came just when the
prices were lowest and perhaps had
more to do with checking the decline
that anything else.
But bankers insist that the market
as a whole was in a bad technical po-
sition. They welcomed the reaction
and think It ought to 70 still further.
They profess to be fundamentally opti-
mistic and bullish on the stock mar
ket Their fear ia that the uninstruct-
ed public will run away with the mar
ket and get involved to such nm ex-
tent that q severe break will discour-
age all trading In Wall street and
cause q depression lasting several
months. On the other hand. a reaction
Of ten or 20 points would correct the
technical situation and would not dis
courage general trading.
The disclosure tAat-the- government
il the owner OF about 5000 600 worth
Of rolling stock that the various rail-
roads refused to accept when assigned
to them, has tempered the enthusiasm
Of wall street in the railroad equip
mcnt companies.
American Locomotive and Baldwin

today largely for this reason.

Lincoln, Neb, July 11.-Nebras-
ka's wheat crop will not meet ex-
pectations on yield and quality, &C
cording to the July crop report
made public today by the Nebraska
Board OF Agriculture. Both winter
and spring wheat are adversely af-
fected. The average condition OF
spring wheat, the report states, is
reduced to 80 per cent, which fore
casts l2,l4l, 900 bushels.
Winter wheat few days before
harvest had the appearance of a
record-breaking crop, but the latest
returns indicate that there will be
Is per cent less wheat than expect
ed. The descrease is attributed to
premature ripening, caused by few
days of high temperatures during
the ripening period, weakened vital

in which wheat turned from green
to white suddenly instead of assum-
irg the golden yellow and ripening

State Agent Finds
Whisky Worm Hidden
on Nebraska Rranch

Lincoln, July 11.-Assistant Chief
Agent Melick has found a worm. 1t
is said that the early bird catches
the worm, and in this case Melick
was the early bird. The worm was
one which is a very indispensable
part of moonshine still and is so
named because it moves so noise
lessly that only the early bird can
hear it. -.
This week Mr.. Melick went, up to
Sargent and, in company with
Mayor Lundy of that city, visited
the home OF a ranchman in the town
named Freeman and found a-jug of
corn and potato whisky. According
to Mr.. Meliek, there had been sus-
picion that out at the ranchman's
farm, about 20 miles northwest of
the town, there might be found
something of value, SO, with the
mayor, he went there and discov-
cred real moonshine still, with
worm and everything, and barrel
of the manufactured product stand
ing in the building and one jug filled
ready for delivery. A dozen empty
jugs of the same make as the filled
jug and of the jug taken at the
Freeman home in town stood ready
to be filled from the barrel, which
contained about so gallons. The
farm was in charge of a man by the
name of Wright, and he was also
taken in charge.
On an analysis of the moonshine
it was found to have been made
from corn and potatoes and con-
tanned about 1880 per cent alcohol.
Freeman pleaded guilty to the
charge of having in his possession
Intoxicating liquor.

Three Injured in Accidents
at Nebraska CITY in Day

Nebraska City, July ll.-(Special
Telegram Miss Rose Haskin, a

the stairs at the DR.. S. P. Chesap
home and broke her right shoulder.

CHICAGO AUTO
SLEUTHS LIKE .
M'KELVIE plan
Peace Officers Meet in Lin
coin to Discuss Way to
Prevent Wholesale
Auto Stealing.

Lincoln, July ll.-(Special) -
"The biggest thing that has ever
been done and the talk OF people
all over the country" said E. L.
Richards of Chicago this morning in
speaking of the action Of Governor
Mekelvie in calling the meeting OF
sheriffs and peace officers OF Ne
braska and adjoining Jates to meet
here tomorrow.
Mr.. Richards is manager of the
automobile publicity and -informa-
ton bureau of Chicago and his
work is principally in investigating
automobile losses by theft and the
apprehension of the thieves. He is
accompanied to Lincoln by his as
sistant James P. Coen who has been
connected with the. police depart
ment of Chicago for more than 20
years and is now confning his work
entirely to the apprehension OF au-
tomcbile thieves.
The ease with which thieves, can
dispose of stolen cars especially in
the agricultural districts is the big
problem they say. Thieves go out
into the country and interview a
farmer and find out the kind of car
he prefers. He will then say that he
has a friend who is leaving |. the
country who wishes to dispose of
his car and will do so at a sacrifice.
Usually the victim falls for the story
ans. puts up about one-third ,ot
what the car is worth.
Generally the number OF the. en-
CINE has been defaced and the
license number changed, and thus
Identification of the car is difficult.
The second trouble which the
authorities have is the general soft
heartedness of the judges who con-
duct the trials. Most of the work
of automobile stealing is done by
organized forces, Burglars, porch
climbers, bank thieves and the
higher class of criminals have
found automobile stealing much
easier and safer than their usual
line, and so they are organized.
Each city of any size has its head
quarters. A car is spotted on the
street, headquarters" notified and
some kid is given a small sum to
steal the car and leave it on some
side street. If he is caught he gem
orally makes the plea that he took
the car just for a joy ride, and. the
Judge listens to the story and. with
the plea of the parents of the boy,
he is let off, or if he is sent up he
Is soon paroled.
The ease with which stolen car
can be sold is remarkable, according
to Mr. Richards. The average VIC
tim ought to, know when a
stranger comes around Sand offers

Soldier Loses His Trunk

reposes little green trunk. Some
soldier boy thought he would have
a good time has been compelled to
postpone the good time or have it
without the contents OF the trunk.
7N The trunk was confiscated at the
baggage room of the railway sta
ton here because an aroma of very
peculiar but popular odor prevailed
around the little receptical. The
trunk was opened and disclosed a

coat having. three service chevrons,
a hat new pair of army shoes, two
women's hats and other feminine

ever, there were three or four other
"Sunnybrooks" which still retain
