BREAKS IN SUGAR
BY STUART p. WEST
tCoypriGht. 1922-l

The sudden break In the sugar
stocks at the outset OF the mar
ket today was set down mainly TO
a carefully planned bear raid based
upon the weak technical position
into which these shares had work.
ed after their recent extensive ad-
vance. This Of 10 to Is points had
completely eliminated the short in
terest and had attracted 9 large
following of small outside specu-
lators of the sort that are readily
shaken out. The very first sale Of
Cuba Cane Sugar preferred was "a
as agaisnt 81 AS at yesterdays
close, and a recent high of 40A
The drop In the common stock was
proportionately as severe. Punta
Alegra and American Sugar yield
ed almost sharply. When this liqui-
dation on stop orders was over, the
sugar group rallied.
Low PRICED RAILS.
New Haven and related seeuri-
ties were the leaders among the
low priced rails and with New
Haven above 20 and Ontario and
Western across "a, speculation was
set going again in others of the
junior railway issues. The Wa
bash were eomspicuously active
and strong and SO were the Wheel
ing and Lake Erie. 1t is estimated
ON the basis of the latest report
that New Haven is covering all
fixed charges and earning at the
rate of SIS share on the stock The
Erie stocks were favorably infiu-
enced by the sale of the $5, ,000, ,0e0
Z per cent bonds to banking syn

Mowry and Miss Helen Bettigrew.
women candidates for the Republican
gubernatorial nomination in the pri
mary election yesterday polled less
votes than expected according to In
complete returns early today. Miss
Pettigrew was running on light
wine and beer" platform. Both were

The race, for the nomination seemed
to be between w. r. Stubs, former
governor, and W. I. Morgan, former

son newspaper man, with the latter
slightly ahead on incomplete returns.
The Democrats had an interesting
contest for the gubernatorial nomina'
tion. Returns were meager bus
Johnathan Davis was leading Hender-
son Martin, former vice president of
the Philippines and Leigh Hunt.
No figures were available on any
of the contests for the Democratic
congressional nominations in six OF
the eight districts. All the Repub-
lican congressman were leading for

SIX AUTOS ARE
RECOVERED IN
HUNT FOR GANG :.
Sargent County Sheriff Gets
Back Six Cars Stolen
from Many Points
A SMOOTH MACHINE
Gang Operated with Regular
Headquarters and Well
|, Creased Trail
SMOOTH MACHINE

A trail which led from Sargent
county has resulted in the recovery
of six stolen automobiles. and the
probable breaking up of well-organ-
lied band of automobile thieves,
Sheriff o. II. Flades' and Deputy O.
Enger, said in Bismarck today.
The trail was picked up after the
recovery of a car stolen at Coggs-
well, by Sheriff Flados. r. E. Perry,
charged with the theft Of car
sometime ago in Sargent county, went
into the ditch. Nearby, according to
the sheriff, automobile license plates
were discovered 1t was found they
belong to Tom O'Connell of near
Brinsmade. a.
Going to Benson county, whel.
Sheriff Flados received cooperation
of authorities there, he found six au-
tomobiles in that ana adjoining coun-
ties. One was found at Leeds, three
at ,Brinsmade, one at New Rockford
and one at Hurdsfeld.
Had Headquarters.
The automobile found at Hurds-
field was a seven-passenger Buick
stolen on July Z in Moorhead, the
sheriff said. One car found at Brins-
made was stolen AZ Aberdeen; S. D.,
and another at Amherts. A Nash car
found at Leeds had been insured and
the insurance company had paid the
loss. The sheriff does not know from
who it was stolen. .-..as,. 80
The auto band, Sheriff Flados be-
lievcs, operated with headquarters
and runners who would steal ears
and take them $50 to 200 miles away
and sell them. They change the mo-
tor and frame numbers on the cars
and tear Off the body numbers, he
said. =
In places the cars fell into the
hands of innocent purchasers. Sheriff
Flados said that one car had been
sold to sons of a Benson county far
mer for $3.50, $3.50 cash and the bal
ance to be paid thu fall. The scheme
to get low, cash price is used by
the motor bandits, the sheriff said,
the fact that he is willing to take a
note for part of the money convinc-
ing the innocent purchaser that he
is selling in good faith.
Goes to Valley City.
Sheriff Flados will leave here for
Valley City, where a car stolen in
Hankinson by the same gang, he be-
lieves, was recovered, making seven
in all. Ills
Recently sheriffs in the southwest
ern part of the state held meeting
and have planned an elaborate system
of cooperation to break up automo-
bile bandit gangs of which there are
several, according to Sheriff Flados.

CONFERENCES
ON COAL WAGE
WILL BE HELD
Resumption Is Believed Ger.
tain as Result of De-
vel0pments

Philadelphia, Aug. 2.-Resumption
of the wage conferences of anthra-
cite coal operators and representa-
tives of the miners was considered
almost certain today by persons in
close touch with the situation and
the hope was expressed that they
would result in an early settlement
of the controversy ::at has kept ap-
proximately 100000 hard coal dig
gers idle since April l.
A date for the meeting probably
will be fixed in few days. 1t will
be separate and have nothing to do
with the interstate joint bituminous
conference called by Mr.. Lewis to
meet in Cleveland on August Z.
S. D. Warriner, head of the opera
tors committee said the mine owners
were "ready and willing" to reopen
the meetings with representatives of
the miners "either to continue no.
gotiations for a new wage scale by
direct conference or to refer the mat
ter to unrestricted arbitration" Ac-
ceptance of the conference suggestion
in behalf of the anthracite miners
was announced by John L. Lewis,
president of the United Mine Work
ers.

ANTI KU KLUX
Man | IS VICTOR
Mayor Watson of Oklahoma
City Leading Opponent for
Democratic Nomination
HOT PRIMARY FIGHT
(Ry the Associated Press)

Oklahoma City, Okla, Aug. g
Mayor J. G. Walton of Oklahoma City,
anti-Ku Klux Klan candidate and
supported by the farmer-labor ele-
ment of Oklahoma was leading his
nearest opponent for the Democratic
nomination for governor by almost
5000 votes early today with unofficial
returns from yesterdays statewide
primary about one-third complete.
R. H. Wilson, superintendent of the
state board of c~acation claimed to
have had the endorsement of the KL
Klux Klan, was running second.
Walton made his campaign on
pledges to put the state government
in the hands of che farmer-labor
"where it belongs" He had the in
dorsement of the rarmer-labor recon-
struction league with platform call
ing for state aid to FARMERS, state
ownership of public utilities and the
Plumb plan of government admins
tration of the railroads. 1t is said
he told Ku Klux Klan delegation
during the campaign he intended t."
run the Klansmen "into the Arkan-
sas river" if he became governor.
Editor Nominated.
John Fields, farm paper editor OF
Oklahoma City, rho will face the
Oklahoma 'gubernatorial nominee in
November, had virtually no oppos'
ton from his Republican opponent,
George Healy. Fields was leading
more than seven to one on the re-
turns brought in.
Miss Alice Robertson Of Muskogee
Republican. representative in con-
'gress from the Second. district was
ahead in her race for denomination
on the face of returns. Manuel Her
rick of Perry, Republican, who pr.
claims himself congress "aerial dare
devil" was running poor third IN
the Eighth district with less than half
of the precinct heard from. Besides
Herrick, Representative T. A. Chana-
ler, Republican from the First dis
trict was the only one of the eight
incumbents in congress, who fell be.
hind in the contest for denomination.
Prohibition Not In.
National issues played little part In.
the primary. Prohibition did not en-
ter. The campaign centcred on
charges made by Walton's opponents
that he represented the Nonpartisan
League interests in Oklahoma.
The issue raised caused the cam
paign to be one of sae hardest fough:
ever seen in Oklahoma and polltlca'
observers were frank to admit today
that Walton's apparent victory he'd
the possibility of large detection
from the Democratic ran:s in sa'
general election in November.

100 IN SESSION

~ (By the Associated Press)
Chiacgo, Aug. 2.-More than lOO
union chiefs, headed by B. M. Jewell,
leader of the striking railroad shop
crafts workers met here again today
to act on President Harding's plan
for settlement of the shopHe3s
strike. Following yesterdays SEES
sion it was intimated that formal
acceptance of the plan would be
voted. ... H
While this action was thought
probable, here, new moves for peace
were expected to come from the rail-
road executivs and. from Washing
ton. 1t was pointed out that def
mite rejection of the presidents pro-
posal concerning restoration Of sem
iority rights to the men who went
on strike would leave the next move
to Mr.. Harding. Well Informed rail-
road men here believed the president
might address an open letter to the
rail executives urging them to stop
disputing over seniority when the
national welfare is menaced. Such
a letter would serve at the same
time as an address to the country at
large.
Although chiefs Of 148 railroads
at their meeting yesterday in Ne"
York voted to reject tne seniority
proposal, the belief was current here
that this did not constitute the ex-
ecutiyes' final word in the matter.

Macon, Ca, Aug. 2.-An extra
heavy guard was ready here today
to be thrown around the Bibb coun-
ty Jail to protect three negroes held
in connection with the murder sew
eral months ago of A. L. Aligood a
street conductor. The guard was as
sembled early today when the police
received word that several hundred
persons had assembled at Central
City Park and were planning an at
tack on the county Jail.
Later reports said that the crowd
had dispersed. .,
The precautionary steps followed
a day of excitement at Macon yes

the authorities who expressed fear
Of serious race clash growing out
of the lynching at Holton, near here
of John Glover, a negro, charged
with the murder here" Saturday night
Of Deputy Sheriff Walter G. Byard.
Glover was. taken from an Atlanta
train at Grimm yesterday ana sh0t TO
death.
Scnes of disorder and the display
of uncertain temperaments were
witnessed when the negro's body was
brought back to Macon and dumped
into the streetin front of q negro
theater, where it remained in q half
upright position for some time. Men
of all ages jammed the street and
fought their way to the body seeking
souvenirs.
Officers believe that the prompt
closing of tho negro business Sec

disorders in which deputy Byard was
killed, prevented a race clash.

when after 81 hours of deliberation
it reported still unable to reach an

NJ. O. Paddock, foreman, told the

acquittal.
The district attorneys Office an
nounced the state would try Mrs.
Obenchain again and Judge John W..
Shenk put the case upon his calen-
dar for next Friday for re-setting.
Intimations came from the prose-
cution that charges might be filed
against certain jurors on the ground

conceived ideas of the defendants in
nocence. These we're answered by
others from the defense that it might
charge certain attaches of the dis

fRv the Assoclated Press)

St. Louis, Aug. with United
States Senator James A. Reed lead
ing Breckenridge Long by 1920 for
the Democratic senatorial nomination,
on the face of incomplete unofficial
returns from 2,342 precincts out of
3,84s in the state, Ed Glenn, Reeds
campaign manager told the Associat.
ed Press today the senator would win
by $4,000 votes.
The Reed-Long race overshadowed
all other issues in the primary cam
paign. The senator, grizzled veteran
of many campaigns was bitterly as
sailed by followers Of Woodrow Will
son, by those who objected to his war
stand, by friends " the League OF
Nations, prohibition, suffrage and
federal maternity bill, by women's
organizations and by those Democrats
of Missouri who assisted in reading
him out of the party in 1920, when
the action of his home district in
electing him delegate to the ma
tional convention at San Francisco
was twice overruled.
"Old Guard" Man Wins.
On the Republican side. the sena-
torial nomination apparently has gone
to R. R. Brewster of Kansa City who
carried the endorsement of the "oid
guard Republicans as we'll as that
of Governor Hyde's administration.
Running in a six-cornered race,
Brewster piled up = comfortable lead
on early returns, while three avowed
progressivcs and two advocates OF
the return of light wine az and beer 81
yided the rest Of the vote William
Sacks, wealthy oil man and one time
sGO a month postal clerk. is runninf
second to Brewster and far ahead OF
the three progressives as result OF
strong support in St. Louis for his
light wines and beer platform.
All four of the women candidates
for congress apparently have been de-
feated, although returns from the
Eleventh district, where two wome"
were in the Republican race and the
Twelfth, where one woman was a.
Democratic candidate, are as yet to-
maapre to make a decisive statement.
