BULLISH TONE
GIVEN MARKET
BY CROP REPORT

chicago, Nov. 28.-Reports that
sha condition of the Kansas winter
rrnp is the lowest ever known for
November had a bullish effect on
the wheat market today in the early
dealings. Prospects of a liberal
reduction of the visible supply to-
tai tended also to lift values. Be-
sides. notice continued to be taken
~ the smalIness of the Japanese
rice crop. Initial quotations, which
ranged from &c to 1c higher, with
neceuber 112Z to lib and May
1is to 1.16M, were followed by a
moderate reaction and then by up
turns higher than before.
subsequently a cut of 10000, 900
hnshels in the estimated Australian
aurplus led to much more active
buying and to a further advance in
nrices. The close was unsettled,
2IA to 21zc net higher, with Deem
Der 1.141a to 1.149s, and May 1.17A
10 1171s.
Assertions that the close of nayi-
cation would bring about stoppage
of export business in corn gave
some advantage to bears in the
corn market
Later, the market rallied owing
TO wheat strength. The close was
steady at the same as Saturdays
finish to 1sc higher, with May at
54& G54Bc.
After opening II C lower to like
advance with May at 549sc to 55c,
prices underwent a general sag.
Oats were easy with corn, start
ing unchanged to &c off, May 3S15c
to $3.50, and the declining all
around.
Provisions developed strength as
a result of absence of offerings.

to succeed the late Senator Matthew Stanley Quay. He was reelected in 1905, but resigned four years later to become secretary of state
 Although political power in Penn sylvania and in the high national councils of his party, he was said by friends not to be a politician. He was not active in the management of the Republican party in the nation, and his election as senator, following his cabinet service, was said by close friends to be more in recognition of his statesmanship than a matter of state politics.
 In the senate he spoke infrequent- usually carefully prepared, were at tended closely by members. He was one of the most prominent of the fir reconcilables" in the Republican fight against the treaty of Versailles and was reputed to have been the author of some of the so- called Lodge reservations.
 Senator Knox was close in the con- fidence of President Harding, with whom he served in the senate. The president had frequently sought his advice, especially as to means of re- storing peace with the central pow CTS. The senator's influence and ad- vice was said to have been largely responsible for the selection by Pres ident Harding of Andrew w. Mellon

 Small Chance for
 Strike Call Now
TRepubiican A. p. Leased Wire1

CHICAGO, Oct 12.-Little likeli- hood of a decision to call a strike of railroad workers of the big four brotherhoods was forecast tonight by L. F. Sheppard, president of the Order of Railway Conductors. After three days and nights of meetings, sepa- rately and jointly, the executives and general chairmen of the conductors, engineers and firemen are still far forn agreement on their course of ac- tion.
 Tt is likely no announcement will be made when these conferences ad- journ,' MT. Sheppard said Thus far we can say nothing. And it now seems probable there will be nothing to say"
 Warren $. Stone, grand chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engin eers, and w s. Carter, head of the Brotherhoo dof Bremen and Engine men, refused to discuss the situation and declared they, too, would prob ably have nothing to say even after the conferences end.
 Today was the busiest of the week thus far. Following long sessions of the general chairmen of each of tho three organizations yesterday and Monday, the executive committees of the three brotherhoods interspersed the chairmen's meetings today with lengthy secret conferences.
 No intimation was given out as to what was being discussed.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12-Sweeping denial that the Ku KluX klan con tained within it's ranks lawless band of hooded hoodlums was made before the house committee today by Will liam J. Simmons of Atlanta its founder and imperial wizard.
 Turning squarely upon members who had listened intently for nearly two h011rs to a dramatic defense of the organizatiOn, MT. Simmons de- clared that standing here in the nreeence of God" he wanted the world to know that if one thousand eth mart of tht charges were true, he would forthwith call together the grand concilium of the Klan for the purpose of forever disbanding 1t Tn every section of the United states.
 Says Probe Welcome
 Called after negro witnesses from Boston and Chicago had urged con- arressionaI inquiry of the Klan, the ir7DeriaI wizard, first asking to be sworn. told the committee that the Klan welcomed investigation, but nrotested against attacks in some of the pending house resolutions.
 He was permitted to read his state ment without interruption. allnouSh at the session tomorrow he VIII De questioned by committeeman. espe- ciai;zy with reference to published re- ports of various acts of vandalism charged to the Klan.
 There is no room in our orsanlza tion for those who take the law into their own hands" he declared. We have been charged with everything from the wave of high prices to the sweeping march of the boil weevil If has heen charged that our primary aim was intimidation of the negro in ri7e south. But it might surprise this committee to know that the growth of the Ku Klux Klan has been greater in the north and east than in the south.."

 Before God. I have never signed any instructions that could be con strued as a violation of law. The Klan does not tolerate or teach law Iessness: instead we preach respect for the law"

SENATE ADOPTS
 PROMISE: IN. REPEAL IF ALL. CARRIER TAXES.
Not a Dissenting Vote Cast Against Amendment Re- moving Levy on Parcel Post Packages
Republican A. p. Leased Wlre1

WASHINGTON, Oct. 12.-Adoption by the senate of the Republican com promise plan for repeal of all of the transportation taxes on next Janu- ary l was completed today with the acceptance without a dissenting vote of an amendment removing the tax on parceI post packages. Senator Reed, Democrat of Missouri, sought to extend the repeal of levies on mes sages by telegraph, telephone. cable and radio, but his motion was voted down, 32 to 26.
 Committee amendments to the bill accepted those imposing license tax es on brokers and others and manu- lecturers taxes of two cents a gallon on cereal beverages, still drinks and unfermented fruit juices; seven and one-half cents a gallon on finished fountain syrups and five cents a pound on carbonic acid gas.
 Until the chewing gum tax was reached the senate made fairly rapid progress on the bill. But there it stuck for nearly two hours with a discussion of chewing gum, tariff and other subjects. A Republican pro ooosal to repeal the two per cent tax on this gum was opposed by Sen ator Reed, who said the senate had voted to ret+in S2S,500, 900 in taxes upon senders and receivers of mes sages by wire and radio while it was proposed Ito refund one twenty eighth of that amount to Wrigley." Who made this bargain ?" asked Senator Reed with reference to the compromise plan to knock out the chewing gum tax f'Who overturned the action of the committee? When was 1t agreed to? It demands an ex- planation when a gentleman can es- cape $1,000000 in taxes on some thing that is useless and worthless. What was the influence that reached behind the doors and took the tax off MT. Wrigley?"
 Senator Watson, Republican, In diana. said the information before the finance committee was that factories of the American Chicle company were closed down and that the removal of the tax had been suggested to get those plants started up again. He declared that so far as the committee knew, "Mr. Wrigley" did not care about the tax; that he never had asked that it be removed.
 During Senator Reeds address there was reference to the agricul-

PREDICTS PASSAGE IF TARIFF MEASURE
 BY NEXT FEBRUARY
[RepubIican A. p. Leased Wire1

iRepuDliCdn A. r. IcdSSo SsHC
 WASHINGTON, Oct. 12-Passage of the permanent tariff bill by next February l, is the hope of Chairman Penrose of the senate finance com mittee and Chairman Fordney, of the house ways and means committee. Senator Penrose said today he had conferred with Mir. Fordney and they had agreed to extension of the emer- gency tariff law until that date.
 Notices that hearings on the tar if Dill will be resumed November l, were sent out today to agricultural interests. The livestock schedule will be taken up first, MT. Penrose said.
 The tariff also got into senate dis cussions, Senator Ashurst, Democrat of Arizona, warning that ''ten bold Democrats and ten bold Republicans" were determined that 'the minions of Wall street should no longer dominate in the framing of tariff legislation; that protection would be given the farmers.
 If it is not" he said, there will be no tariff bill"
 Referring to unemployment, MT. .Ashurst said the nation was Ion a volcano that may erupt at any time, '" and he pleaded that the two political parties lay aside partisanship and get to work.
 T appeal to my Republican coll leagues" he said, ito stay in session. hold night sessions, pass the tax bill and also the tariff bill if it is going to aid the farmers"
 Declaring cheap labor in Africa and tee Far East was being employed in large numbers to produce cotton, he said the time would come when the South would take the lead in de- manding protective tariff on cotton.
 Senator Hitchcock, Democrat of Nebraska, said he regretted an appeal for the protective tariff had come from Senator AshuTst and declared the farmers had had enough exper- fence with the emergency tariff law to know that protection would aid them very little. The prices of prac- tically all commodities named in the bill, he added, had gone down steadily since the emergency law went into effect

 While at the senate today, Senator Knox apparently was in the best of health, although he had been some what over taxed lately in connection with senate work with reference to restoring the technical state of peace with Germany, Austria and Hungary. He was the author of the peace reso- lution bearing his name and one of the senate conferees in adjusting it with the Porter resolution. The reso- lution was passed at this session of congress and it was under it that President Harding negotiated the pending treaties of peace with Ger many, Austria and Hungary.
 When congress took a recess late in August, Senator Knox left for Europe with Mrs. Knox for a vacation and was absent about three weeks. He sought to reach Washington in time to vote on the Panama canal tolls re- peal bill but arrived some hours after the vote had been taken. He told his associates that while he had benefited by his vacation he felt somewhat tired.

Price Of Cement
 Is Reduced 30
 Cents q Barrel

According to an announcement received in Phoenix yesterday and which has been verified by dealers in building material in this city, a mill reduction of 30 cents a bar rel has been made on cement throughout the Arizona field. While all the dealers in building material in this city had not re- ceived notice of the cut in cement price yesterday, it was confidently expected that they would today.
 This is the first reduction in the price of cement from the high price peak of two years ago, and is healthy sign, for, through it's stimulating effect on building op- erations, it will be beneficial to every person. Cement is a large factor in building, and a reduction in its price will be the means of materially lowering the cost of building and will tend to open up still further the construction work which is going on in this city and vicinity.
