trade when sellers asked i c more

Later timidity Of buyers over the
Capper-Tiucher law was overcome
and there was considerable buying
OF small lots. Then the pit element
noted the advance in cotton, due TO
the rural credits law. and sought TO
buy, but IN surplus had been taken

POLICE GET new
CLUES IN PROBING
DEATH OF WOZNER
Seek Horsetraders Who Called
AT Shanty-Rope Also
Factor in Inquiry.

Police Investigation into the rnys-
FERROUS death OF Andrew jackson
Wozner. aged hermit, who was
bound and gagged in his little two
loom shanty sometime Saturday
night. and who. In his efforts 70 free
himself. succumbed 20 an attack OF
heart failure. has narrowed down 10
two suspects who, 1t is believed. If
apprehendcd, will be able 10 clear
up the battling mystery.
Information obtainable today gives
the detectives who arc working on
the case the belief that the first
theory Of robbery will be substanu-
1ted and that the old man was the
victim OF two men who together
broke into his house for the purpose
Of robbery
The Information which - in the
hands OF the ,olice was corrobor-
ated by a News-Times reporter who
for the second time visited the vicin-
.ty OF the hermits home in Morn
ingside addition.
Horsetraders are known to have
abounded the vicinity recently. some
OF whom were strangers to the dead
mans neiShbors. Some suspicion
has fallen upon two of these men
who were IN the neighborhoCd sat
urday. In this connection, the man
ncr in which Wozner met his death
is again brought up and the rope.
binding Irvine and handkerchief used
by the robbers 70 bind and gag the
aged hermit are again foremost az
clues which are expected to lead
eventually to identifying the real
criminals.
Mrs. Permillia Jacomet, 122 E.
Keasey St, who has made bid for
her deceased fathers estate, was
able TO state her story satisfactorily
10 the police but did not assist the
police IN clearing up the mystery
surrounding the old mans death.
She stated the old mans mode of
living had driven his children away
from him many years ago.
Further questioning Of Wozner's
neighbors brought out a coincidence
concerning the rope which bound
the dead mans feet when the body
was found by neighbors Sunday
afternoon. The rope, a piece of
clothesline, was similar TO one used
by a horsetrader late Saturday after
noon, which he had hitched to the
brides Of two horses he drove with
him. Neighbors did not know of
such n rope in Wozner's house be-
fore Sunday afternoon. Neither do
thev know anything about the bind
ing twine the robbers used TO tie
the old mans wrists, whose hands
had swollen and his wrists cut, evil
IDENTIFY by the struggling Efforts to
free himself.
The handkerchief IS a clue not
forgotten by the police. The old
man was known TO pick up handker-
chiefs as we'll as other su1dry ar
ticles from the wayside and city
dumps, but all Of these articles
among the old mans belongings
were red or blue bandanas. The
kerchief which tied the gag to pre-
vents the old mans outcries for as
sistance was q dirty white one and
is believed TO have belonged to one
Of the hermit's assailants.

GOTHAM STOCKS IN
REACTIONARY DAY
Liquidation and ShOrt-Selling
Causes Many New Low Rec
Ords on Market.

NEW YORK, Aug. 25.-The stock
market Thursday consistently follow
ed Its reactionary course. Liquida-
ton and short-selling caused many
new low records, involving leaders
as we'll as vulnerable issues.
Easier money rates, the further
strength of foreign exchange and
adoption o. the farm credit bill by
the senate evidently played no part
in the calculations of traders, being
neutralized by the keener competi-
ton in the steel industry and other
unfavorable factors.
Gross declines OF 1 to 6 points
were sustained by oils. steels, equip
ments, copDers, rubbers, textiles, to-
baccos, chemicals and array Of mis-
cellaneous Issues which figured con-
spicuously during the war boom.
Prices Lower.
Investment rails and standard in
dustrials OF the type mainly repre-
scented by u. S. Steel most often were
proof against pressure. although
giving way moderately when the re-
mainder o. the list was under at
tack. Prices were lower at the start
but strengthened before noon, only
to react again in the last half Of the
session. Mexican Petroleum featur-
ed the setaback, dropping from 81 y

up virtually all Of its loss. Mexican

Junior oils, also shippings, motors
and tobaccos developed greater
weakness IN the final dealings. Heavy

then offset rallies elsewhere. Sales
amounted to 600, 900 shares.

INITIAL WOOLSALE
DECLARED SUCCESS
Farmers Deliver $4,000 Lbs.
TO New Warehouse Estab-
lished Here.

The initial sale OF wool BY ST. Jo-
seph county farmers through the CO.
operative marketing plan offered By
the Michigan state farm bureau was
a signal success, farmers declared
yesterday. approximately $1,000
pounds were graded BY experts from
the Michigan organization, and sold
at an estimated value that was high

clared.
The grade rated as quarter-blood
combings was good enough TO bring
an advance Of Is cents per pound;
ured the same; quarter blood. 10
cents a pound, while discounts-the
most inferior grade-was priced at
s cents. From these figures the best
grades under existing market cOndi-
tions were rated at 90 cents the
pound. Only recently buyers and
spectators were Offering in the
county 10 cents as the top price.
Farmers said the benefit OF the plan
was at once obvious. Fifty per cent
OF the estimated value was paid to
each grower. Final settlement will
be made when the product is closed
out TO the best advantage.
The yield of the county this year,
it was said, will be considerably larg-
er over that of last season and an
improvement was also noted in quail
ity. Farmers were unanimous in
voicing the opinion that the first
