JAPAN LOOMS AS
SOURCE OF WORRY
By BROsDAN WALL.

New York, April 20.--Stocks closed
heavy today after a session of great ir-
regularity in which some material net
losses were recorded There seemed to
be no special reason for the selling ex-
cept general unasiness on the part
of the public over the money and for
eign situations-for Japan has now be-
come something to worry about
Money was renewed at per cent,
but was offered by leading Broadway
bank at six in the afternoon in the

The West, which has been bullish.
has turned against the market perhaps
because the federal reserve board Is go
ing to make the western reduce their
credits. Credit is frozen in comm odN-
ties In the West not only those stored
in warehouses. but now in those that
have been sold and are on the railroad
tracks.
Hope for the automobile business was
expressed by Colonel Colt, head of the
United States rubber business. who
estimated the 1920 tire business at
81, 200. 100000. IT was $500. 900 900 in
1914. Notwithstanding this phenomenal
increase Colonel Colt looks for even
more startling growth in the future,

Motors.
Wall street blamed the stock ex-
change for tho bill introduced In CON
gress against speculation and short
selling. 1t is the natural result of the
| Stutz affair. 1t caused much selling.

be no extra dividend and he said moth

anything Is done II will be in stock.

little life there is in the market. The

The short interest in the market Is

there Will he no more corners and ar
que that even If there should be the

PROFITEERING IN SUGAR
AN Investigation by U. S. Depart
ment of Commerce Shows
Huge Profits

Washington, Jan. 3o.-Evidence
that jobbers, wholesalers and retail
dealers are dividing a profit OF more
than 100 per cent on sugar at 20 cents
a pound was found today i'll reports
to the U,utcd States Department ol
commerce.
The reports showed that in De-
cember l-4c pound was the price
at which American rellners sold
sugar for export from the United
States.
Inc same month the price charged
by retail dealers III 50 cities av trased

was added &c each pound. Ihc aver
age rrit.: quoted was comp / ~

Statistics from reports OF hundreds OF
price reporters. In many cities the
retail price was far more than II &c.
In Atlanta 22.oc a pound was
charged, in Little Rock, the price was
22.4c, in Memphis BLOC, and Biimins
ham 2I.4c.
In some cities, however, the retail
price was De'uw the average. Thu,
H. Eoston retailers charged TIC, Ill
Chicago I7.hc, iii Cleveland !4.ic, and
| in New York II.oc. In the sam :
month the average wholesale price of
sugar was IO.85c.
Although these prices arc for De
cember, the price at which rcliners
now can import cane sugar from
Cuba and sell it for export has not
advanced much beyond 5 il cents,
officials say. In act, much OF the
graduated sugar being sold at 20
cents and more a pound was import
ed and refined in December.

Conscientious Directors Not to Get
Service Medals.

Jefferson City, Mo, JANUARY 20
Adt. Gen Clark announced today
that none OF the CONSCIENTIOUS DID,
iectors' to military service during
the war will receive any OF the med
ais the state is distributing to service
men. Only men who were in the
actual service OF their government
will receive these marks of distinc-
ton. Speaking on this subject the
Adjutant General said:
This medal will be priced by Mis-
sourians because it is awarded only
to a Missouri soldier, sailor or marine
who has serv ii his state and COUNTY y
faithfully and we'll. and whose record
has been examined and found honor-
able. The record OF the so-caiieG
conscientious ob;ector is dishonor
able one. regardless of the fact that
they were given honorable discharges
by the Secretary OF War and none OF
these men shall wear the badge the
State of Missouri has awarded It's
faithful sons. do not know that i
single citizen of this state was amol!

IIoWAT TO MOVE
Howatt May Move the Headquarters
of the Miners From Pittsburg,
Kans., to Missouri.

Pittsburg, Kas., Jan. 3o.-A decis-
ion as to the removal of the district
headquarters OF the United Workers
of America, district I'd, from Pitts
burg to some town across the state
line in Missouri will be considered at
a meeting of the district board soon'
it was said today. Alexander Howat,
district president, last night con-
firmed report that the removal was
under consideration.
While the removal would be caused
partly by the enactment of the Kan
sas industrial court law, Howat said
the main reason for the removal, it
it is decided upon, will be the atti-
tude of the business men OF Pitts
burg in the recent strike.
The Pittsburg business men ana
chamber OF commerce, he asserted
today, showed their "unfriendly atti-
tude' toward the miners by indoors
ing Governor Aliens action in send
ing volunteer coal diggers and troops
into the district.
I'VE don't want to embarrass the
business men by keeping our offices
here when they are so unwelcome,
Howat said.
The Barton County, Missouri, coal
fields are in district IA. Under the
laws of the union the district board
can maintain it's headquarters wher-
ever it desires. Agents Of the board
have been seeking office rooms and
homes for the officers in Liberal
Mo-, and other towns. Burgess, Min
den and Oskaloosa are prospective
locations for the headquarters. About
one thousand of the twelve thousand
miners of the district are i'll Mis-
souri,.
The removal of the officials, so a.
to be without the jurisdiction of the
Kansas law in their work, is being
discussed in mining cirles today.
