JAILED ON BIGAMY CHARGE
Troubles of Doctor, Who Was Kid
naped Following Wedding, Multiply.

Chicago, Dec. 15.-Captain Charles
Pike, a physician attached to the
United States marine hospital here, to-
day was held in the Lake county Jail
at Crown Point. Ind, awaiting a hear
ing on charge of bigamy after hav-
ing been taken from his bride of six
weeks last night
Pike charged that the Indiana Off
GERS used force in arresting him in
front of his home and that one of
them struck his bride when she at
tempted to assist him. The couple
were married at Crown Point recently
following an elopement. The mar
riage was the result of a romance be-
gun when Miss Frances Heile was
serving as a Red Cross nurse in the
same hospital with the army officer.
Attorney Louis Heile OF Chicago. the
brides father is said to have objected
to the match after he had been told
by Pike of his common law wife in
Philadelphia. The bigamy charge was
preferred by a woman who said she
was Mrs. Marjorie Pike, of Colorado

NEW YORK STOCK MARKET.

Wall St, New York. Dec 16.-STOcKS-
Speculative operations for the advance fea-
tured today's active dealings in stocks
Another series of favorable dividend an
nouncements, higher foreign exchange rates
and the optimistic tone of the weekly
mercantile reviews were largely responsible
for the development of bullish sentiment
Trading in Pan American stocks was the
individual feature, the 4 making an extreme
eah of 515 points and the SIS, buying of
these issues being stimulated by overnight
announcement of another stock dividend of
20 per cent. These gains were reduced later
on profit taking, good demand also was
noted in the motor accessory, equipment
and steel groups Westinghouse Afrbrake
extended its early gain to points on an
nouncement of an increase in the regular
dividend rate and a proposed 50 per cent
stock dividend
The closing was firm Sales approxi<
mated 45o,0 shares.
Further irregularity took place at the open
ing Of today's stock market, with a cOntin-
uation of yesterdays late demand for the
steel shares
Westinghouse Airbrake was pushed up
three points TO a new high record and
Strombsrg Carburetor established new
peak price on a net gain of one point.

MOONSHINE War HAS ENDED
Federal Agents Victors, But -Four Per-
sons Are Killed.

Lexington, Ky, Dec. 16.-Menifee
county's "moonshine war; has ended
today after a week of campaigning in
the hill country. Federal prohibition
enforcement forces emerged victori-
Gus, but not until three agents had
been slain in clashes with the outlaws.
To balance their losses, the federal
men today counted Robert Ballard,
reputed leader of the moonshiners,
dead; his brother. Charles wounded
and a fugitive in the hills, and Jeff
Ballard, father, and Albert Ballard,
brother of the slain leader, together
with Joseph Glenn, William Ferguson
and Henry Rofit, prisoners in jail
here.
The Menifee county outbreak ended
in the sa ; fashion it started a week
ago-a spectacular gun battle.
The game between the agents and
members of the Ballard gahg was in
itiated last Saturday, when Agent r
z. Duff was shot down while leading
a raiding party of half a dozen men
in an advance on a cave used by the
outlaws as a still site.

week, high price records for the season
have been surpassed by wheat, corn and
oats Expectance of legislation at Wash
fngton to furnish financial aid in the mar
keting of farm products appeared to be
the chief stimulus. Compared with week
ago, wheat this morning was up 81 G5ssc
sac and 37sc. and oats IL 033se.
Net changes in provisions varied from
sc decline to a rise of Tie.
President Harding's message to congress
and speech by Julius II. Barnes, former
national wheat director, both dealing with
proposed extensions of government credit
were promptly followed by substantial
upturn in the value OF wheat.
Profit taking sales of great volume
finally cooled somewhat the enthusiasm on
the buying side of the wheat market and
the long continued advance of prices was
succeeded by a moderate reaction in which
German financial troubles had considerable
bearish influence.
Provisions for the most part were higher
in line with grain, despite weakness of the
hog market.

Chicago, Dec. 6.-WHEAT-Wheat took
a downward swing in price today during
the early dealings, a bearish construction
having been placed on the government re-
port issued after the close of the market
yesterday. Strength in Liverpool wheat
and unfavorable reports from Argentina
tended to decrease pressure on wheat to
some extent, but during the initial trading
the market showed relative rallying power.
Strong commission houses were free buyers
of May wheat at the start and large
amount of wheat was taken out of the pit
on resting orders, which checked the de-
cline. The opening, which varied from 15c
to 11sc, was followed by further decline
and then Slight recovery.
The close was strong at net gain OF "a c
to 11sc with May $123M to $1.23h and
July 81. 149s to $1.14A.
CORN-Corn and oats followed the course
of wheat After opening, sc TO 1c off
with May 73e to 13hc, the corn market
eased off trifle' more.
The close was unsettled with values
raIlying from 1sc decline to Sc advance
with May 74c.
May 45hc to 461se and later showed a
slight recovery;
exceptionally dull.

hands during the riots, but all have
united in the declaration that they
were unable to identify any of these
as participants in the shooting The
defense has not made e-ear its case

LAMBS HIGHER; HOGS DECLINE.
FAT STEERS LOWER.
Trade in livestock this week developed no
new factor. except as the lower tempera-
lures and rough weather became condi-
tion in the movement. Short fed steers were
offered freely and sold 20 cents lower In
the average. Stockers and feeders were
slightly lower, and the cheaper classes of
stockers and feeders were down % to 50
CENTS Hog receipts were the largest of

able weakness due to the fact that more

STOCKERS AND FEEDERS
Receipts of stockers and feeders contin-
ued in liberal supply for the season Of the
year, and while prices were lower, demand
showed more than the usual volume for
