TONE SHOWN
IN STOCK MARKET
BY STUART p. WEST.

NEW YORK. September 13-The
various markets were engaged in par
TALLY undoing the losses of yester-
day throughout the greater part of
the sessionfoday.
A further test of the underlying
position. both in the stock and cotton
markets. came in the early dealings.
1t was a question whether or not the
reaction of the previous day would
run into a more extended downward
movement.
The last hope of any relief this
year from the burdensome taxes was
apparently removed by word from
Washington that the Senate commit
tee was against omitting the. excess
profits tax and against lowering the
surtax on the higher incomes until
1922. This was a bit Of unfavorable
news which might easily have had
some effect had the Wall street posi-
tion been at all weak.
AS it turned out, the decline, such
as 1t was. was checked shortly after
the opening. Buying orders reap
peared in a number of favored indus
trial shares, among the stocks
which came in for special attention
being Baldwin Locomotive, Endicott-
johnson, Studebaker. American Wool,
Tobacco Products and the Mexican
Oils.
The impulse to adjust prices to the
better sentiment and more favorable
indications in the business and finan.
cial communities were also disclosed
in the bidding up of specialties like
National Biscuit, Loose-Wtles and
American Ice.
Markets Are Better.
BY noon prices had regained all
their early loss. and in the afternoon
went higher. The grain market fol-
lowed practically the same course.
In wheat. however, the more imme-
diate factor was not the foreign de-
mand, which has been running so
uncommonly large for the last month
and a half. but crop damage reports
from Argentina.
The most Interesting point about
the August foreign trade figures will
not be cleared up until the details are
issued regarding agricultural and for
eign agricultural shipments. The in
crease of $54,000.000 in last months
exports, as compared with their low
most entirely to the heavy outward
movement of grain and cotton.
But what the country would like
to know is whether exports of manu-
facturers turned the corner in Au-
gust, as did those of farm staples.
good fortune.
Effect ON Tires.
The advance in the price of cotton
will, it is believed, materially affect
the financial statements to be made
by the tire manufacturing companies
at the end of the year.
AS the price of tire fabric increases
in the open market, as was the case
with crude rubber some time ago,
stocks which remain in the ware
houses of rubber companies and COM
mitments with mills automatically
go up.
A large part of the losses of the
rubber and tire companies last year
were sustained on inventory, and the
write-offs in most instances went to
rock bottom. The increase in tire
fabrics should make it unnecessary
to register any further losses.
At the Close.
Gains of 21z to 3 points were made
in Mexican Petroleum, American and
Baldwin Locomotive, Studebaker and
Crucible. Shippings and food shares
fsrmer.

MAYOR OF CORK GIVEN
 50 DAYS TO LEAVE U. S.

Washington, April 12.-Under or ders issued today by Secretary Davis, Donal J. O'Callaghan, lord mayor of Cork, who arrived in this country as q stowaway last January 4, may be de- ported by immigration officials any time after June 5, should he not leave the country before that time.
 The Irish official, who came to the United States to testify before the commission of the committee of one hundred Investigating conditions in Ireland, is given 50 days to leave the country from the date of the decision of the state department holding that he was not entitled to asylum as po- litical refugee. This decision, 1t was disclosed today, was handed down April 6.
 In formal statement dealing with O'CaIlaghan's case, Secretary Davis said he accepted the ruling of his pre- decessor that Buckingham was a sea- man and as such entitled to a reason able time in which to reship for for eign port.
 "f have no doubt" said Mir. Davis, that O'Callaghan will comply with the logic Of the situation and se-ship as an alien seaman within the rule.'

DUTCH REFUSE FORMER
 KAISER FRONTIER PASS

Doorn, Holland, April 12.-Former Emperor William desires to accom- pany the body of ex-Empress Augusta Victoria to the Dutch frontier. but the government is said to have refused him permission. Should this prove true, he will follow the body to Maarn, eleven miles of Utrecht, to which place it will be taken, in an automobile hearse. From Maarn, the body will be transported to Potsdam in a special train for burial.
 Since the death of his wife early yesterday, the former emperor has been overcome with grief and at times almost unable to speak. Frequently he cannot bear any company and strides away into the park about Doorn castle, where he paces to and fro alone.
 Princess Victoria Louise, only daughter of the ex-ruIers, and Prince Oscar. their fifth son, arrived here today.

PUT BAN ON SOME MEDICINES.
Federal Officer Tisdale Put in Busy
 Morning in Mena,

Federal Prohibition Enforcement Officer John T. Tisdale came down from Fort Smith Wednesday morn ing and put in . busy day investigat- ing reports of local violations of the laws regarding intoxicants. He wis., ited different places where medicines are sold and advised different propri- etors regarding the federal laws reg ulating them. At the Farmers & Merchants Drug Store he found a barrel and several boxes containing medicines which he declared came un- der the ban of the statutes. When in- formed of the law, Dr. w. c. Vandiver, one of the owners of the store, sur rendered the medicines in question to the federal official and declared his unwillingness to knowingly violate the governments rulings. The medicines in question were removed to the county jail and turned over to Sher- if J. A. Thornton for safekeeping, pending the final disposal of the same.
 Officer Tisdale also visited the old Dickson Wagon Yard on South Mena street, now owned by s. w Hall, and investigated reports that moonshine had been distributed there. He de- clared a willingness to close up the wa"or1 yard if the charge was proven.

FEDERAL FUNDS SOON AVAILABLE
Fi.al 0. K. on Jefferson Highway nr;ags Promise of Approximately a2eO. 900 Aid for Projeet-Com-
 wissioners and Engineer Pleased.

First of the actual cash to come the building of the Jefferson highway Ifroz the federal government as aid in l;n Polk county is expected to be avail ab,e for use the last part of the pres ant month. This is one of the results expected from the report received earher in the week by Engineer J. F. Haley stating that the state depart mest of good roads had put the final |0. K. on the plans and specifications and had forwarded them to Washing ton.
 This o. K. is considered by Engin- ger Haley and those who are direct ing the big improvement project as the richest sort of praise for their wo5k and makes them feel more con- 6dant than ever that their efforts have been on the right side. The plass and specifications are not ex- ausined by only one set of road build CTS, but by different experts in each particular division of work. The work must be approved step by step by different departments as sort of cheek upon each other, and when the highest department slaps on final q. K. there is real reason to feel rather pleased. That Polk county's project was able to get by the federal experts with so high rating is com pliment, for many of the states most ambitious highway plans fell down under the scrutiny of the government engineers.
 The approval of the plans make il certain that the Jefferson highway project will be assured of government aid and according to present hopes il is likely that at least $200,000, or one third the cost of building the 50 miles of road, will be secured. At least that is what Engineer Haley, the commissioners and others, are fighting for and their chances for success are said to be unusually bright.

EXCESS PROFITS TAX
 DOOMED. SAYS MELLON
New Methods Will Be Devised for Raising of Four Billions to
 Operate Government.

Washington, April 7.-Suggestions as to the means of raising the four billion dollars of revenue necessary for the conduct of the national gov ernment during the next fiscal year will be sent to Congress early next week, Secretary Mellon said today Discussion of sources which may be tapped by the new tax program will be concluded probably Saturday by the treasury secretary and his staff of advisers.
 Thus far, is was stated, definite de- cision has been reached on only one question, repeal of the excess profits tax. Mir. Mellon has not decided what form of levy will supplant it.
 It appeared that no determination has been reached regarding redemp- tion of the so-called floating debt or short term treasury certificates of in- debtedness totalling around $2,770,- 100000 in other than the present fash ion of reissuing certificates. This phase of federal financing as we'll as the retirement of $4,100,000,0 ,000 ir Victory notes, due in two years, is regarded as being inseparably liked with the tax program.

DYNAMITER WILL BE
 RELEASED IN MAY
John ]. McNamara to Complete Sen. tenee With Full Allowance for
 Good Behavior.

San Quentin, Calf, April 12.--John J. McNamara, serving 15-year sen tence for murder in connection with the dynamiting of the Los Angeles Times building, in October, 1910 will complete his sentence, and leave the penitentiary May 10, prison officials said today.
 McNamara has been a model pris- oner, and earned all the credit allow ance of his sentence. Advices from Los Angeles said other charges that had been preferred against McNa. mara at the time he was sentenced have been outlawed. Officials ex. pressed the opinion, however, that Me Namara faced federal charges in h. dianapolis in connection with the al legged illegal transportation of dyna- mite.
 His brother, James B. McNamara is serving life sentence in the peni- tentiary here in connection with the murder charges.

S9 MEN ACCUSED OF NIGHT RIDING
Nine Are Arrested Near Jonesboro, Warrants Out for 0thers-D Depre- dations in Craighead County
 for Several Months.
From the Arkansas Gazette.

Jonesboro, April 12-A wholesale roundup of men charged with arson and night riding in this country be- gan this afternon when Sheriff w. T. Johnson and force of deputies swooped down on the community of Day, 10 miles east of Jonesboro, and arrested nine men. Warrants have been issued for 30 others, who will be arrested tomorrow.
 The arrests follow series of mys- terious fires in this county, beginning early last fall when there was objec- tion to selling cotton at the low price then prevailing. Since then two or three gins, several barns and resi- dences have been burned and it was believed that an organized gang was responsible.
 The nine men arrested today are. Clarence Craig, Everitt Kintrey, Henry Evans, L. c. Bird, J. c. Castle man, Noah Hasley, Dewitt Garrett, Harrison Duty and K. Bowman. The arrests are the direct result of threats made against Bowman, it is said. Bowman made a trip to Jones' boro Saturday, it is said, and the oth- CTS believed he came here to give in- formation to the officers. When he re- turned to Day, he was seized by sew eral men who kept him a prisoner all night, according to story he told next day, and threatened to kill him if he gave out any information.
 Bowman told of his experiences next day and some of the residents of that community came to Jonesboro and laid the matter before the deputy prosecuting attorney who issued war rants for the 39 men and gave them to the sheriff to serve The wife of Clarence King offered resistance when the officers arrested her husband and threatened them with a revolver ! they said, but she was disarmed. Following the fires in the commun- | ity about two months ago the deputy state fire warden came here and made an investigation, but nothing came of it. The deputy prosecuting attorney believes the investigation will result in conviction of those responsible for the fires. Farmers last fall were warned that they might expect trouble if they sold their cotton at the low price then prevailing.

WILL NOT LOSE FEDERAL AID.
After Conference Herbert R. Wilson
 Makes Encouraging Statement.

Little Rock, May 10.-After a series of conferences with E. W. James, as- sistant chief of the Bureau of Public Roads in Washington who has been in the city for ten days, Herbert R. VII son, Commissioner of State Lands, Highways and Improvements, today made the statement that he in no wise alarmed over the prospects for the continuation of Federal aid. He says that the conferences with Mir. James have been eminently satisfactory, and while details cannot yet be made pub- lie, the conditions are very gratifying. H. L. Bowldy, who is in charge of the Department of Surplus War Material of the good roads bureau arrived to- day for the purpose of taking up an- other phase of the highway investiga- tion.

Attack Comes After Editor Says Ex- Soldiers are Responsible for

Shreveport, La., April S.-Resolu- tions declaring statements attributed to Mrs. Kate Richards O'Hare, editor of socialist publication at Girard, Kan, in an address at city hall here Wednesday night to be unfounded and an an insult to the American flag, the nation and former service men, were adopted by Shreveport post No. 15, American Legion, at meeting last night.

LET THE G. o. P. DO IT."
Democrats Hope Republicans Will
 Hang Themselves" Before 1924.

Hang Themselves" Before 1924.
 Washington, April 10.-A full anc free hand will be given the great Re. publican majorities in both branches of Congress by the Democratic minor ities for the development of the Hard ing domestic and international pro- grams. This course has been decided upon by the Democratic leaders both within and without Congress for two reasons:
 I. The Republican majorities are so topheavy that only most unique sit uation could develop in which minor ity opposition couuld be made ef- fective
 2. It is the belief and the hope of the Democratic leaders that the Re publican majorities will 'hang them selves because of the length of their own rope"
 The program of "non-resistance" by the Democrats has gone so far as to bring serious discussion of the ad- visibility of their making no serious effort to regain senate and house seats in the congressional elections next year. Those favoring prolongation of Democratic quiet until the presiden. tial elections of 1924 argue that if the Democrats succeeded in materially closing the present gaps next year between their numbers and the Repub. licans' representation in Congress responsibility for any failures would be more equally divided between the two parties and might iniure the Dem. ocrats in 1924.
 If the Republicans are permitted g | full hand in their administration al credit or blame would be exclusively theirs-and the Democrats are looking for long and loud complaints in the next two years.
