Few Gains Shown
On Stock Market

NEW YORK, May ia. P)--
Selling of stocks for both accounts,
principally the short interest, was re-
sumed in moderate volume yesterday.
In the final hour a covering movement
cancelled many losses and effected a
few substantial gains.
Early recessions ran from one to
three points in the prominent motors
and their accessories, as well as steels,
equipments, shippings, metals and
food shares. Low priced oils were un-
der constant fire.
Miscellaneous issues, embracing the
mail oder, motion picture, leather and
less distinctive groups also gave way
variably to professional offerings, but
few utilities, rails, tobaccos were
inclined to strengthen.
The belated recovery was guided by
Mexican Petroleum, International
Paper, Sumatra Tobacco and some of
the other oils, as we'll as motors and
investment rails at gains of one to
fully five points. 1t occurred in the
face Of a rise of call money from 6 l-2
to per cent. Sales 100000 shares.
Dealings in bonds were relatively
more active, though the tone was un-
certain. Liberty issues rallied after
early irregularities. Total sales par
value, 81, 100000.

Growers Influence
On Market Shown

CHICAGO, May 17.-(A. PO-Con-
siderable strength developed in wheat
yesterday owning more or less to un-
seasOnahle cold weather and to a
sharp upturn in prices at Winnipeg.
The market closed unsettled at the
same as Saturdays average to higher
with May LAG to 1.46A and July l.l5
u to l.l5hs. Corn finished ga to l
lower. Oats off Ia @3-S to SIS and
provisions unchanged to 25 down.
Reports of heavy frost at various
places gave bulls an advantage in
wheat almost from the outset, an
advantage which was quickly supple
mented by word that May at Winnipeg
showed rise of 6 cents compared with
Saturday. II was said growers appear
ed to have command of the situation
there. Meanwhile country offerings
here and at other domestic markets
were light Another bullish factor was
the disposition which some influential
traders showed to take less bearish
view of pending legislation. On the
other hand rains in Texas and Okla
homa, together with better crop re-
ports from parts of Kansas tended TO
ease july somewhat.
Hedging pressure on corn weakened
the market for corn and oats.
Lower quotations on hogs had
bearish effect on provisions and so,
too, did belief that the semi-monthly
statement would show a fair increase
in supplies.

FACTORY OCCUPATION
FAILED IN UPRISING
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
BY CARL d. GROAT.

Omitted Press Staff Correspondent
BERLTN.-(By Mail l)-Communist
efforts to copy the Italian occupation
of factories proved a miserable failure
in the recent German red uprisings.
The most pesistent of all occupati-
ons was at Leuna. where the Badische
Soda and Aniline company operate a
plant for extracting nitrogen from the
air. Here the workers-that is about
one-fifth OF them-suCceeded in hold
ing on a week, increasing their mea-
ger supply of arms by raids against
outlying points of the green police"
But in the case of Leuna, as else
where, all the glory of proletariat ad-
ministration went up in bubble as
soon as the police took hand. They
hesitated nearly a week, apparently
needing to some extent the workers
threats to destroy important parts of
the plant if the police intervened.
But their task was simpl, They
quickly routed the workers, a,,u scat
tered the ragamuffin army, drilled
under the red Ludendorff"-a man
called Paul, belonging to the Bandit
Max HoelZ's gang.
The Leuna workers thought the
millennium had come when they occu-
pied the plant. They foresaw re-
gime of proletariat control of plants
throughout Germany But they wilt
ed like dew before the SUN when force
was used against them.
Stormings of Berlin plants were cas-
lily subdued. In some mid German
towns there were occupations but all
were, shortlived. This was due large
ly to the fact that the movement was
distinctly a small minority affair.

Ex-Convict, Suing Flagler
For $4,000, Testifies
Claims Promise of Liberal Pay
to Organize Justice Society;
Adrn;ts FOur Conv;cf;Ous

George B. Bender was on the stand
in the Supreme Court yesterday in his
suit to recover $4,000 from John FL.
Flagler for alleged breach of contract
under which Bender, an ex-convict was
to organize the Society Of Justice in
memory of the defendants wife, Mrs
Alice Mandelick Flagler.
Bender charges he was unjustly con-
victed. He met Mrs. Flaglar when she
visited the prison where he was CON
fined. Upon his release he interested
Mr.. Flagler in the plan to organize
the Society of Justice, the purpose of
which was to help men wrongly con-
victed. Bender said Mr. Flagler inti-
mated he would be literally compen-
sated.
Under examination by former Judge
William II. Wadhams, attorney for Mr.
Flagler, Bender admitted he was con-
v:cted in General Sessions in 1909 of
forgery in the second degree. He also
admitted that he was convicted in Syr-
ncuse on q charge of grand larceny.
Bender said he was innocent when con,
victed in Boston in 1912. On two other
occasions Bender was sentenced to the
workhouse, but he insisted he was
wrongly convicted
The trial will be continued to-day.

Reforrners Fail
ToAsk Dempsey

Trenton Chancellor Stays
in Office All Day, but

Stop Bout Is Unfulfilled
Minister Files Protest
Jersey City Prosecutor
Refuses to Interfere {;
Legal Action Not Feared
Minister Files p
Special Dispatch to The Tribune

TRENTON, N. j., June 27.-The In
ternational Reform League failed to-
day to take the threatened action to
prevent the Dempsey Carpenter fight
By injunction. Chancellor Walker was
in his office at the State House all day,
but received no application nor over
lures of any kind toward request for
an order to restrain Tex Rickard from
putting on the fight.
SO far as has been learned the only
action taken either by an organization
or an individual to that end is a re-
quest which the Rev. James Parker, of
the Second United Presbyterian Church
of Jersey City, made to Pierre P. Gar
ven, Hudson County Prosecutor, to
prohibit the fight on the ground that
i, would violate the crimes act.
Mr.. Garven said that in his opinion
the fight would not be a violation of
the law so long as no decision was
rendered. He had given no warning
against making decision, he said, be-
cause he thought il unnecessary, j..
Harry Ertle, the referee, being city
marshal of Jersey City and presuma-
bly, familiar with the law.
Attorneys in this city believe that if
the international Reform League seeks
to interfere with the fight it will be
on the same ground chosen by the Rev.
Mr.. Parker. They are confident that
any appeal on that ground will be
denied.
1t is thought that the. act creating
the boxing commission, especially with
the amendments passed last year, su-
tercedes or repcls the crimes act by
implication in 80 far as the latter's
provisions are in conflict with the
later legislation.
Moreover, the Court Of Chancery has
made it a rule not to exercise the
power of injunction to prevent the
commission of a crime unless it cen be
shown afirmatively that the civil rights
of the applicant are endangered. The
reform bureau would be required,
therefore, in applying for an injunc-
ton, to establish the fact of pro-
spective property loss if the fight took
place.
State officials assert that there is no
difference between this and other
fights that have taken place in this
state except that this fight is mere i'm
portant than the others. If an appli
cation should be made for an injunc-
tion the Attorney Generals Depart
ment will oppose it on behalf of the
State Boxing Commission and, prob
ably, the State Treasurer, in order to
prevent the loss of the states share
of the gross receipts, estimated at
about 100000.

Mrs. Margaret Reynolds, suing James

silence.
Mr.. Reynolds was arrested yesterday

who said she feared he was about to
leave the state. The defendant was
released on $4,000 bail. He was ar
