Chicago, May 23.-Despite persistent
selling today the corn market rallied at
the last, owing to a renewal Of wet wealth
err. Prices closed unsettled. sc net lower
to Nc advance, with July $1.65 to $1.65A
and September $1.57N to $15S. Oats fin
shed Nc to Nc down, and provisions I'M
changed to a decline Of &c.
Assertions that corn planting would be
held back several days in important Sec
lions where rains had again started put
the bears at sudden disadvantage just
before the session ended. Previously the
market had shown weakness, influenced by
the fact that country offerings were more
liberal than has recently been the case
The destruction Of big starch works at
Cedar Rapids Ia, which had been grind
ing 10000 bushels of corn a day, counted
also as depressing factor. and so, too,
did Argentine competition in the east
Neverth eless, shorts covered freely when
planting delays were again in sight, not
to mention increased likelihood Of need
for much replanting.
Oats reflected a sharp break in the
value Of barley. Polls indicating that con-
gress might not remove wartime prohibi-
ton were chiefly responsible.
Slowness Of cash demand. together with
downturns in the hog market, and with
a falling off In clearances from New York
operated as q weight on provisions.

Brudstreet's Review.

New York May 23,--Bradstreet's tomor
row will say:
Something like shifting Of activit,
Is revealed In the trade and gindustris
reports this week. Cool. rainy weather
and the lateness of some of the sprins
planted crops, especially corn and cotton
seem to be more stressed at the smaller
markets. but increased activity. strength
and confidence Is revealed at the larger
centers, while In instances where weather
conditions have been favorable and seq.
sonable temperatures have prevailed. the
trend has been a very cheerful one Or
balance, jobbing and retail trade reports
show slight ebbing of activity and col
lections are a shade slower than last
week. ~

IO-Year Minimum Term
For Robbery Is Urged

A ten-year minimum sentence for
persons convicted of robbery in the
first degree, so ''the seriousness of the
offence would be more impressed upon
criminals" is embodied in a present.
ment of the regular March grand jury,
which was discharged yesterday by
Judge Otto A. Rosalsky
The additional March grand jury,
also discharged by Judge Rosalsky,
recommends in a presentment that
surety companies should look into the
character of persons for whom they
offer bonds.
The regular grand jury points out
that under Section 2125 of the penal
law robbery in the first degree is pun
ishable by Imprisonment for term
not exceeding twenty years" No mini
mum term is provided, and if ten years
were set, the grand jury believes the
community would be benefited
The additional March grand jury
recognizes that the right to obtain bail
is constitutional one, but it says
that "the facility with which profess
sional criminals are able TO obtain bail
in any amount is a crying evil and an
incentive to the commission of crime"
In discharging both bodies, Judge
Rosalsky commended them for pre-
serving the rights of the community
and declared that it was men of their
character and idea of civic duty who
would check the spread of Bolshevism
in this country.

New Dominican Church
to Take Part in
Service Sunday in St. Vim
cent Ferrer EGitice

Archbishop Patrick j. Hayes will
pontifcate Sunday at the new Domini-
can Church of st. Vincent Ferrer at
Sixty-sixth Street and Lexington Ave-
nue.. This church which the archbishop
has selected for his first pontifcal ap-
pearance outside of his own cathedral,
is notable addition to the ecclesiasti-
cal architecture Of New York City.
The Gothic interior gives an i'm
preston of roominess and soliditv in
which futed columns and great vistas
make for artistic grace. The church
inside and out is replete with imagery
and symbolism relating to the Domini-
can Order. The great rood, boldly
chiselled, is the first to appear on
the exterior of any Catholic Church in
New York City.
The arms of the regning Pope and
the late Cardinal Archbishop of New
York are to be carved at the west
door.
The church has 1000 seating ca

Policemen Play Movie
Roles to Make Arrests
Crowds Watch Fight on Roof
and Rescue of Intoxicated
Man on High

New York policemen in two instances
yesterday played the role of movie
heroes in escapadcs on high. In both
cases the men came down unscathed
and with their quarry safely landed
In one adventure the quarry was a
young man named Joseph Silverberg,
of 119 Cannon Street, who, accused
of breaking into a chicken coop, nearly
toppled Sergeant John Cassidy, of the
Bedford Avenue police station, Brook
lyn. from a siX-story roof before he
was overcome. The quarry in the other
instance was-well. the formal charge
against him last night was intoxica-
ton.
His name is Joseph O'Connor, and
he first attracted attention yesterday
when passerby at the Hebrew Orphan
Asylum spotted him on the 18-inch
fifth story window ledge of the asylum
peacefully slumbering. The asylum
superintendent summoned Police Ser
'geant kelleher and a patrolman. They
found the window outside which O'Con-
nor was sleeping heavily barred
Climbing out a window on the floor
O'Connor by the legs and held him
while the superintendent and the pa
trolman removed the bars. Through it
all O'Connor still slept. When he was
finally dragged back to safety it took
fifteen minutes shaking to rouse him.
Then he was able to throw no light
upon how he might have found his way
to the seemingly impossible perch
Sergeant Cassidy's experience fol-
lowed roof-top chase and the firing
of two bullets. Finally young Sill
verberg closed with him, and the two
appeared to be on the verge of falling
to the street when the officer got con-
troll of his prisoner
