CORN MAKES BIG DROP IN CHICAGO ON
 REPORTED FAILURES
Oats Also Finish at Loss, With Provisions List Lagging at Drop
 of Thirty-five Gents
By Associated Press

Chicago, May 1S.-Prices crashed down in the corn market today as much as 7Nc bushel. Failure of two Kan sas banks, embarrassed by unwieldly loans on grain, did a good deal to bring about the selling stampede, which took place and which attained almost whirl- wind force at the last. The ciose was demoralized 3Bc to 6Ac, net. lower' with July s1.69a to $1.70, and Sep tember $1.6oA to $1.soas. Oats in. ished $ c to 1Bc down. Provisions OH 35c.
 , Weakness in the corn market began to develop as soon as trading started New low records for Liberty Bonds increased the uneasiness due to the Kansas bank failures and anxiety on the part of holders of grain was fur- ther deepened by word of extensive price -slashing at department stores, and of industrial establishments lay ing off employees Besides, reports were circulated that radical measures were about to be quickly taken by the interstate commerce commission with a view to breaking the railway traf- flee jam that has been consistently blocking the movement of grain. The consequent downward plunge Of the corn market became especially wild just before the close.
 Lower quotations on grain depressed provisions, but the effect was partly counter balanced by an advance by commission houses.

I have been telling you in general way about the great profits to be derived from investments in oil. Without my telling you, you appreciate the fact that in all of these companies there have been thousands and thousands of investors. In fact, the average investment is about $200 or less per person. So you see this great wealth has been greatly dis tributed.
 l will for the next few days give you sev-- eral specific instances with the names and addresses of different people in various walkseof life.
 I will do this to call your attention to the fact that the making of money in oil does not depend upon ones former occupation, nor upon his experience, neither does it depend upon his superior judgment, nor his ability as a money maker in times past
 If a wealthy man makes great profit from an investment it is said that he is q man of rare judgment and business ability If salaried man, or of moderate means makes great deal of money from a small investment, they say it is luck"
 An investment in oil is not luck, but it is matter of exercising your own judg- ment and taking hold of the opportunity when it presents itself.
 Men from New York to the Gulf of Mexico have made thousands of dollars in Texas Oil" Have you? Farmers, car penters, clerks, lawyers, doctors, bankers. bookkeepers, stenographers, salesmen, fac school teachers, cooks, restaurant men; in fact people of every profession or walk of Lfe have invested and made big profits in Texas Oil"

EVENTS OF THE DAY
 FROM STATE CAPITAL

More than 5000 freight cars are in the yards and on sidings of two railroads in Alabama and cannot move to the northern and eastern points because of the congested conditions in the gate ways to the north, east and west, ac- cording to reports received by the pub lie service commission Tuesday short ly after it began investigations as re- quested by the interstate commerce commission.
 These reports from only. two points caused the commission to believe that not less than 5000 ears are being held in Alabama now, presenting a serious problem which must be solved at once If there is not to be a general tie-up in transportation.
 Further investigations will be made and the commission has called upon the traffic men of Birmingham, Mont gomery, Mobile, Dothan, Selma and other points for information. As soon as thorough inquiry has been made the commission will make a recom- mendation to the interstate commerce commission as to best methods for ob- taining relief for this state.
 Another development is that there is a serious shortage of coal cars, not enough being available now to keep the mines running. This is due to the congestion and the failure to move coal cars for prompt unloading and return. B. H. Cooper, associate commissioner Tuesday declared the situation is serious in Alabama. Pa tience and cooperation are necessary until the present congestion is bro ken,' he said. "Then we must turn to method of securing new equip ment in the way of cars and motive power for the carriers"

Montgomery. May Specially Jefferson and Montgomery counties lost a good amount of money Ito the state as a result of decision of the court of appeals Tuesday afternoon holding that the probate judge, in making payments to the state, coun- ties and cities for their portion of I- cense and other taxes, should require each to bear its proportionate share of the cost of collection. In a case brought from Jefferson county tho contention was made that as the law said gross collection" the state should be required to meet all costs of collection.
 The appellate court ruled that the state would receive 60 per cent and the counties or cities 40 per cent of gross collections. but that each would be required to bear it's proportionate share of the fees for collection. Jeff ferson and Montgomery counties were interested because their probate judges are on salaries and fees go into the county treasuries.
