Echo OF Newburgh
Bank Failure is Suit

BOONyILLE, Ind. March o3.-An echo
Of the failure Of the Newburgh Bank at
Newburg. was heard in the Warrick Cir
cult Court today, when a case was being
heard before Alvin J. Heuring, special
judge, Of Rockport. The case was that
Of Sherman Purdue. administrator Of the
estate Of Isham Taylor. vs.. Lewis Taylor
and Nancy Taylor. The charge against
the defendants was intermeddlinS, tn.
defendants being charged with taking
charge Of property which belonged to
the estate. The defendants claimed own
ership of the property.
IShIm Taylor was president OF the
Newburgh Bank, and when he saw that
his estate would be wiped out through
losses. on account Of the banks failure,
he married Marie Merrill, a sixteen year
old girl. and the same night committed
suicide. Isham Taylor and his brother,
Lewis TAYLOR. the defendant, operated
their farm land in partnership, and the
present suit is to determine ownership Of
certain Of the property. Lewis Taylor
was formerly secretary Of Indiana Farm
ers' Federation with offices in Indian
apolis.

PROVE PUZZLE
Trading Reaches Fair Volume,

Lacking.

By MONITOR.
NEW YORK, March 23.-Irregularity
with puzzling price movements furnished
the feature of a fairly active session in
the stock market. Trading was in fair
volume, but appeared somewhat lacking
in animation, particularly in the fore
noon. Toward the middle of the after
noon, however, industrials and rails de-
vel0ped increasing activity. New Haven
was the feature of the low priced issues,
and its advance was not checked until it
crossed twenty. The close, which repre-
scented a small net loss, came as a re-
suit of profit taking. The oils were mod
erately reactionary. Mexican Petroleum
was offered down freely after early
strength.
There was a good deal of activity in
the specialties. Dome Mines made an
other new high level, crossing twenty
eight. The stock of the Marlin Rockwell
Corporation was heavily traded in. This
issue has more than trebled in value over
the level prevailing q few weeks ago.
Uncertainty regaring the dividend on
Northern Pacific was reflected in the
movements of the rails. The placing of
this stock on a 3 per cent basis occa-
sions little surprise, as most of the
gueSses regarding the probable action
were framed on this basis.
There is more or less confusion OF
opinion at present, owing to the disquiet-
ing political news from Europe, the prob
ability of a British general election and
the effect on German financial settlement
of the newly framed reparation demands.
The proba biiity of a coal strike also is
taken into consideration.
The weekly review OF the Iron Age
records further improvement, both in re-
spect to demand for steel products and
the scale of operations. The price POSI-
ton also is tronger.-CopyriSht 1922, by
Public Ledger Company.

Wheat-EngliSh markets made rather

Mount Clemens, Mich. Oct. 3.-Cap-

ron of the army aero first pursuit
group was recovering Tuesday from
injuries sustained Monday, when he
landed without a landing gear on Bel
fridge field in an airplane he had driven
in a test flight preparatory TO the
Pulitzer air race, October IA.
AS he rose for his trial spin, the
wheels of his landing gear fell from
the machine. Unaware of the accident
although other filters made frantic Of
forts to warn him of his danger, Cap
tain Skeep circled over Lake st. Clair
for half an hour, then returned to the
field and crashed in landing.
Hundreds of army and navy aviators
who saw the flier's danger, vainly at
tempted to signal him. A dozen bird
men tool the air and Circled about
Skeel. The latter, however, believed
