GYPSY TRIBAL FEUDS
WAR IN D. c. COURTS
District Attorneys Office Rendez-
vous for Two Tribes, Each of
Different Language.

Gypsy tribal feuds are furnishing diff
f1cult problems for local government at
torneys. The Office of Assistant District
Attorney Ralph Given, at the Police
Court, has been the rendezvous of a
couple of tribes of these nomads. each
having different language and each
having charges and counter charges to
make.
The result is that Louis Adams is be-
ing held for the grand jury on a charge
of stealing $500 from one of the oppos-
ing tribes. The big chief of the gypsies
has come to Washington from Philadel-
phia and it is probable that gypsy
tribal law will be applied to the case as
well as American law.

RED CROSS W ILL. END RELIEF WORK. IN NEAR EAST AREA
Hughes Makes Appeal for Sufferers To Allied
 Nations

WASHINGTON, April 2.-Secretary Hughes has informed the British, French, Italian and Greek ecvern- sments that the American Red Cross will terminate its emergency relief work in Greece, June 30, next. The note declared that solution of the re- lief problem In the Near East Gan hardly lie in measures of temporary relief alone" and suggested CO., operative agreemeU between the na- tions interested which would make it possible for the thousands of refu- gees "tt be absorbed as promptly as possible into the normal economic c life of the country where they find themselves"
 In the event the British, French and Italian governments are disposed to concur in a cooperative endeavor, MT. Hughes said, and the relief task apportioned, American reHet agencies will be ready to cooperate, even after the termination of the emergency relief work of the Amer ican Red Cross in June"
 The Near East relief was said to be prepared to continue child well fare work inlcuding the support Of 65,060 wholly dependent orphans now in it's charge in the Caucasus. Greece, Syria and elsewhere. Secretary Hughes said, however, that the Near East relief was anxious to termi- nate at the earliest possible moment the emergency relief to adult refu gees, of whom approximately 100000 now are receiving assistance from that organization.
 In summary of the note, made public today, Secretary Hughes said the problem presented by the evacua- ton to Greek territory of almost 1 ,000. 900 refugees has appealed to the humanitarian sentiment of all coun- tries and has severely taxed the re- sources of the relief organizations, supported in their work by the gene rosity and initiative of the govern ments and peoples Of many coun- tries

WHEAT IS SENT TO, NEW HIGH LEVELS
 BY POOR WEATHER

CHICAGO, April 2.-1nfluenced by changes in weather conditions. the wheat market today scored new high price records for the season. and then underwent sudden decline. The close was weak, h cents to % cents net lower. with May 12o1s to 120h and July 1T to 1171s. Corn fin ished 1s cents to l cents down, oats off ss cents to + cents, and provis- ions at Is cents to 32 cents advance.
 The wheat market had an upward tendency the greater part of the time until the last hour of trading. Both the new crop months, July and Sep tember, reached new highs for the season. Profit taking sales then be- came the rule.
 The late bearish reaction took place in the face of an estimate from & leading authority that the do- mestic winter wheat yield for 1923 would total 560.000.000 bushels as against 5s9, ,000,0 bushels harvested last year. decrease of 579,00O bushels in the United States visible supply total failed also to sustain prices and was evidently in favor of the bear side.
 Threatened heavy deliveries here on May contracts weakened prices of corn and oats. Cash demand in the west was good, but was slow here
 Provisions rose In line with hog values and as result of big exports.

UNION PACIF |C |S. TARGET IN STOCK EXCHANGE M l VIZ
Rumors of Cut in Dividends Responsible For This
 Condition
BY WALTER B. BROWN, Editor New York Commercial. snecial In u,I,n AUn-Herald

SpeCidi TO Ine AGC-hcTulus
 NEW YORK, Apri. H. After fairly good opening. the movement of prices on the stock exchange to- day became irregular and finally showed considerable depression, clos- ing at the low point of the day The rails were the principal object of attack with the greatest pressure directed against Union Pacific. This attack was precipitated by rumors that there was likely to be a reduc- tion in the dividend rate for that stock. These rumors were without dividend of 21s per cent was declared in February and no further action is due until May 10, while the net operating income for the first two months of this year is more than $S00,000 a head of the same period last year and with the company hav- ing recovered from the effects of the coal and shop strikes. there was no reason to suppose that the directors would cut the rate now if they had not done so before. There seems to be no doubt in the minds of market observers that the rails had been selected in an attempt to force the whole marked down in an endeavor to cover short commitments.
 Notwithstanding the fact that the meeting of the federal reserve gov ernors last week failed to give the slightest hint as to possible rSetric- tive action in reference to credit, there is still some nervousness pend ing the meeting of the federal re- serve banks on Wednesday to see if they ght take some action In accordance with suggestions coming from Washington. They are either trying to work themselves up into state of nervousness or else it is a renewed effort to upset confidence in values.
 A special investigation service points out that during the past 25 years an increase of | f per cent in interest rates on commercial paper occurring during periods of rising industrial stock prices has forecast periods of decline in these prices, adding that since intervals varying from two months to more than year have intervened between such rise and the beginning of a major downward movement. the present in- crease indicates that the upward movement has been eliminated al though the date of the decline cannot be foretold, all of which may or may not be so.
 There is no particularly profound reasoning in this for 1t all depends on how the upturn and the beginning of the downturn merely reflects the variation in individual circumstances and 1t is quite within the realm of possibility that new precedents may be established.
