 would consent to such change said: Submit terms which we consider essential to the preservation of our nationality. This is not an act of discourtesy and it is the only fair. square and honorable thing a great self-respecting nation can do.'
 The President said the crux of these conditions was making a World Court precisely what the name implies"
 Questions Asked.
 He asked: Gan it be possible that despite the protestations to the con- trary this is not what some of our sister states at heart desire? Must there be test of sincerity abroad as well as at home? There is noth ing to be accomplished in ambigu fly We want to know and the only way to find out is to inquire
 Praises Administration.
 The President devoted practically all of his address to the World Court but briefly reviewed what had been done by the Administration in getting tho country back on the right track in domestic affairs. He disclsimed wishing to make a parti- san report but said he took pride in pointing out that unemployment had 'sbeen banished," financial stability restored, taxes frightened and great economies effected Harding de clored that the World Court squared with the principles enunciated by Washington in his farewell address, saying Washington recognized the value of international arbitration and declared it was with the same purpose in mind that I now do advo- cate participation of the United States in a permanent Court of In ternational Justice
 Court Requirements. # President Harding said the two Indispensable requirements were, one. that the tribunal be beyond the shadow of doubt a World Court and not League count; two, that the United States be on a plane of perfect equality with all of the other powers. He recalled that the country had an opportunity in 1920 indicating a desire to join the League of Nations and most emphatically refused and would re- fuse again no less decisively today"
 1920 Election Reviewed.
 The President reviewed the elec- tioh of 1920 and said;
 The paramount issue was boldly and defiantIy advanced in an un- mistakable term by the Democratic Party and espoused by the Demo- cratic candidate for President.
 The speaker declared that what ever other consideration than the League may have infuencd 16,000,- 600 voters were purely incidental.
 Cheers greeted the first reference to the World Court the applause followed the statement that the country would refuse again as de- cislvely as before to enter the League.
 League Dead Issue.
 The President said: Tn face of the overwhelming verdict in 1920 tho issue of the League of Nations is as dead as slavery
 President Harding voiced the "en- hnnced regard for this country for Great Britain because of sturdy as- sumption" of the financial obligation to the United States.
 The President spoke of the good will for Mexico and expressed hope of early resumption of relations with that country.
 President Harding expressed hope that Germany. Turkey. and Mexico would accompany the United States into the World Court.

Attracted to the spot by the faith full shepherd dog which had probably remained beside the body of his mas ter throughout the night after he was shot within 200 yards of his home, children found the body of Buckalew Wright, an iron molder. on the edge of the government reserva- tion near the remount station Tues day. A load from a shotgun had en- tered his head through the right ear.
 Mrs. Wright told Sheriff Knight on Tuesday morning that her husband left home the afternoon before in company with Arthur Anderson and that the latter carried a single barrel shotgun, which he tried before they left the house together. One of the dead mans little boys picking berries near where the body was found re- ported that he saw Anderson going through the woods, and asked him if he had shot his gun. Anderson said that he had fired at a rabbit. Becoming alarmed at the prolonged absence of her husband, Mrs. Wright started a search Tuesday morning, the barking of tho dog attracted by
 the children went to the point on

FUTURE COURSE IF STOCK MARKET |S HARD TO D|SCOVE R
Usual Pre- Holiday DuIIness Is Noted Upon New York
 Exchange
By WALTER B. BROWN Editor New York Commercial

tSy Leased Wire to The Age-HeraId)
 NEW YORK, July 3-Today's stock market was neither weak nor strong. It was merely a trading market of the usual pre-holiday character. Ad- yances and declines were due to the technical conditions of the moment and had no special significance. Lead CTS on either side were lacking. Any one who attempts to predict the course of the market in the next few weeks is exceedingly rash. In the past few weeks it has defied all efforts to forecast 1t by any of the logical methods of reasoning. It has had bad case of blind staggers. Not even the business experts" are able to form conclusion. For example, Babson, who has been consistently bullish, concludes that stocks, com modities and labor have been boost ed too high and an inevitable reac- ton has taken place."
 Forecast Rising Prices.
 The Harvard economic service says: We forecast firm or rising wholesale commodity prices and firm or rising interest rates for the re- mainder of 1923. The general decline in money rates furnishes valuable evidence that business prosperity will continue"
 One very plausible explanation of some of the unexpected selling of the last few days Is that some of the big German houses have been ex- periencing quiet run and have had to open their strong boxes and bring out some of their seasoned securi- ties. This would account for exam pie for United States Steel selling below 20 and for a number of other splendid dividend-paying stocks sell ing on a 10 per cent basis. It is understood now, however, that this crisis is past.
 o o o
 Runors Spare None.
 The rumors spared none of these, not even the greatest of them. The failure of the two German houses short time ago have the impression that they were all in the same boat. It is, however. common gossip that Zimmerman and Forshay could have been saved by few thousand dol lars, which they were unable to raise at critical period. If the run could have been stayed off for few hours they might have come clear.
 The bucket shop proposition Is & serious one in the sense that so far there have been few convictions and but little recovery. There seems to to some influence at work to block all efforts in this direction. It will evidently require an aroused public opinion to accomplish results.

Sunday was a day of mad dogs in Tuskegee. One was killed at the Normal school early in the morning. and one was killed in front of the Methodist parsonage at night. During the time when the congregation was gathering for service at the Method ist church a dog ran up and bit a very fine dog that was in front of of the steps. It Is rumored on the streets that three mad dogs entered negro church in the outskirts of town Sunday night and completely scattered the congregation.

BLACK RUST WITH BULLISH NEWS ISI CAUSE OF UPTURN

CHICAGO, July 3-Black rust fears with bullish estimate of corn aV- craze led to an upturn in grain values today, despite the fact that prices at first were lower Wheat closed unsettled at 1s to % cent net advance with September s1.o3as to $1.031R and December $1.06A to S1.06ss. Corn finished + to l cent up; oats at a shade to l4 e 3s cent gain, and provisions at a rise vary ing from cents to IS cents.
 With reports indicating favorable weather both for the harvesting and the growth of the domestic crop, wheat opened easy in response to lower quotations at Liverpool. Later, however, rains in the southwest and talk of black rust danger in the northwest helped to swing the mar ket upward. One expert wired from Bradley s. D., that conditions were right for the spread of black rust and another expert wired from Far go, N. D., that traces of black rust had developed in many fields during the last few days. Under such cir cumstances, a sudden jump in the corn market gave wheat bulls a de- cisive advantage throughout the re- mainder of the day.
 According to figures issued by recognized authority, the amount of land seeded to corn this year as com pared with 1922 shows a reduction of more than 100000 acres. It was this estimate which stimulated the ascent of the corn market and thus indirectly affected wheat.
 Previous sellers of wheat made haste to buy, and with the usual preh oliday evening up of accounts the market at the last held most of the days gain. July was in special demand for a big elevator interest.
 Before the bulge in the corn mar ket, December corn touched a new price record for the season, favor able weather for the new crop was chiefly responsible. Oats followed corn.
 Provisions were higher, in line with the hog market.
