French Loans DuIl-kaffirs Firm

London, July 22.--There was little
feature to the stock exchange markets
today, operations being mainly profess
sional with changes In prices unimpor-
tant. The usual week end absenteeism
was noted In the house. Oil shares
lost ground and their undertone was not
NO good. Shell Transport and Trading
was 5b and Mexican Eagle 5A.
Although mixed, the feeling In the
industrial department was more cheer
full. Hudson's Bay was 8 b-16. Rub
Der shares dropped, owing to rccessions
In the staple. The gilt edged depart
ment was quiet and irregular. French
loans were soft but dull, following
Paris.
Home rails were stady, but lacked
leadership. Dollar descriptions were
neglected and unaltered. There was
light profit taking in Argentine rails.
Kaffirs were firm, but unchanged.

For Commercial Aviation
Upson Tells Engineers No Sub"

Bureau Is Desirable

Tho United States offers the best op-
portunitios for the development Of conl-
mcrcial aviation Of any nation In the
world, Ralph upson, airship designer
and international balloonist. told mem
bers of the metropolitan aeronautic
section, Society Of Automotive Engi-
necrs, and others at dinner In the
Autom obile Club OF America last night.
Aviation in this country docs not
need to be subsidized, but govern
ment bureau Of aeronautics for ma
tional coordination is most desirable,
Mr.. Upson said. The government he
said, should appropriate limited sum
as prizes for improvements in design
More real progress could be made thus
than by five times the same amount
spent for subsidies, he thought Com
mercial aviation in Europe had grown
fast hv government subsidies, lie ex.
planned, but "it is supported mainly fol
military reasons"
Official moving pictures taken at the
time OF the sinking of the ex-German
battleships by aircraft bombing were
shown publicly for the first time to
illustrate the effectiveness of such
operations. The meeting was one of a
series being held by the society
throughout the country for the pur-
pose of stimulating interest in COM

Van Lear Faction
to- Start Action
DEFEATED CANDIDATE BASES
CONTENTION ON sDIRTY RAG"
ACCUSATION BY MAYOR
LEACH.

Preparations were made last week
to file contest proceedings in behalf
Of Thomas Van Lear, seeking to nulli-
fly the election of George E. Leach as
mayor of Minneapolis by 13,907 mai
ority. Decision to bring the contest
was made ass meeting last night of
the executive committee of the Work
ing Peoples Nonpartisan Political
league, attended by Mr.. Van Lear. A
subcommittee was named with w. j.
Dwyer as chairman to conduct the
contest. This subcommittee was In
consultation with Mr.. Van Lear today.
Grounds for the contest will be the
speeches by Mr.. Leach, in which he
quoted the charge by j. P. Konkel,
former mayor of Superior, that Mr..
Van Lear on one occasion referred to
the American flag as "dirty rag
while speaking at Billings park, Sup
erior. Mr.. Van Lear denies having
made such remark, and the petition
ers in the contest will contend that
Mr.. Leach is disqualified from serving
as mayor under the corrupt practises
act of Minnesota. Section 573 makes
it a misdemeanor for any one to
Knowingly make or publish or cause
to be published any false statement
in relation to any candidate or pro-
position to be voted upon" and can
didate violating this provision may be
ousted by the district court on petition
Of 25 voters, provided the court is con-
vinced of the truth of the charge.
The Van Lear committee contends
that the case comes under the same
rules as the Kvale contest, in which
the court disqualified Rev. O. ]. Kvale
as republican nominee for congress in
the seventh district, for slanderous
statements about his opponent, And
rev j. Volstead.
Leach supporters have not taken the
contest talk seriously, and say the
Leach statements, being made in good
faith, on good authority, was not a
violation of the law.
The Van Lear committee has been
busy for several days raising funds to
finance the contest proceedings, and
it was claimed today that the neces-
sary amount has been subscribed.

Gilbert Seeks Pardon.

New Petitions for the pardon of
Joseph Gilbert are before the pardon
board today. They were filed late
Tuesday, carrying 5000 signatures,
Gilbert is serving sentence OF one
year in the Goodhue county Jail at
Red Wing. He was convicted May 10,
1918 on charge of interfering with
enlistments by means of seditious
speech, and after lengthy appeal pro-
ceedings resulting in affirmation OF
the lower court by the United States
supreme court, he began serving his
sentence Feb. s.. A previous pardon
petition was denied. The new petit
tion asserts Gilbert had no seditious
intent and he believed the law invoked
against him to be unconstitutional.
The petition will be considered at a
meeting of the pardon board this
week
