STOCK LETTERS

NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-Force of habit
 was an important influence in the first few hours of trading today. So many were impressed with the idea that 1t Is advisable to sell on good news, the habit of doing so is so well established, | that the full significance of yesterdays election was passed over lightly and an enormous volume of stocks were sold in | the hope that a setback would imme- diately follow and every seller would have an opportunity to replace the stocks to advantage. We anticipate from now on expanding business in all fields and we continue to recommend the purchase of stocks at every favor able opportunity.-Jno.F F. Clark & Co. NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-The stock mar ket today, for the first time in many months, had a tremendous volume of business, total sales reported over 1,745.- 900 shares. Many issues made new high prices for the year, prominent among which were American Can, United States Cast Iron Pipe and Atlantic Coast Line and many of the non -divi- dend rails. We doubt if the election in itself has changed the essential char acter of the market. For many weeks it has been pointed out that the mar ket cannot be considered as a whole or as unit. It has ben a question of picking this stock and that one on &C., count of special considerations and we believe that this process will continue. Certainly, the results of the election are not bearish on the rails, which promise to have a wholly satisfactory last quarter. Right now we believe that the rails are surrounded with bull ish factors and that despite their rise of the past year, they are not as yet atop of market values. We learn that there is nothing immediate in Houston Oil unless the oil situation improves. Earnings for the first nine months are reported at $6 per share.-Steiner, Rouse 6 Stroock.
 NEW YORK, Nov. 5.-In addition to the anticipated grist of news and com ment on the election, there were num- Der of interesting developments affect ing the market as a whole. American Brass company announced an advance in the price of certain copper products in response to a general stiffening of copper prices in the world markets. Un- der the impetus of this announcement Cerro De Pasco, Kennecott, Anaconda and American Smelting and Refining registered sharp advances over the clos ing figures of Monday. Mack Truck, Foundation company and a number of other concerns published the results of operations TOT the SeptemDer quarter and in most cases these were of re- assuring nature. MT. Gary gave out an interview tinged with optimism so far as the trade future of the United States is concerned and the Iron Age reiter- ated his opinions to a certain extent in their weekly review of trade conditions in the iron and steel industry. The mar ket on whole was extremely active at advancing prices, total volume of sales being in the neighborhood of 1,750,000 shares. The advance in a number of quarters was met with heavy profit talk ing which in many instances converted

WALL STREET BRIEFS

The volume of new state and munich pal financing will be swelled from $2oo.- COG, ,ooo to $500, ,00o. .0o0 by approval of vari- ous bond issues which were passed upon by voters yesterday. Early returns in- dicate that most of the public improve ment school and highway propositions had been favored. The $15,0o0,000 issue in New York state apparently had been carried by large margin. Citizens Of San Francisco, Baltimore, Dayton, and Nashville authorized loans aggregating S75,000,000 for public improvements. Latest returns also indicated that the S100,O00,000 issue of Illinois road bonds had been approved.
 October traffic on the Illinois Central was the heaviest in it's history. Load ings totalled 216,796 against 199,o33 the month before and 212,452 in October, 1923. The Rock Island lines also made a new high monthly record of 16S,763 cars compared with 155, ,097 in Septem- Der and 156,1ss in October last year.

MASONRY MUST NOT
FIGHT KHAN SAYS
MASTER OF TEXAS

Waco, Tex. - Mike H. Thomas,
Grand Master Mason Of Texas, said
in his annual report to the eighty
eighth annual meeting of that organ
ization here:
"In all cases of this kind that have
come to me I have declined to be
influenced by personal leaning, but
have adopted the position always
that as one individual is entitled to
disagree with the Khan, so was an
other privileged to agree with it, and
vice versa; that discussions of the
subject had no place in Masonry;
that Masonry had no right to con-
denim it or accept it any more than
it would some other fraternal order,
religious sect or political party, I'M
til proven in the courts of the United
States that it was immoral; and that
it was equally un-Masonic to use Ma
sonry to tear this or any other or
der down, as it was to use Masonry
to build another order up"

"The impeachment of Governor J..
G. Walton of Oklahoma, is of more
than local interest. No man in any
English-speaking community, since
probably the time of James the
Second, ever defied the people, tram
pied upon the Constitution and at
tempted to rule in such an autocratic
fashion as did Governor Walton.
Someone was killed and Governor
Walton Immediately, without reason,
charge or trial, blamed the Ku Klux
Khan, and called out the militia to
fight that organization to the death.
He was at once hailed by the Ro-
manist and pro-Romanist press as
the man of the hour-just the kind
of a man needed to rid the Ameri-
can Republic of the hated X. K. K.
The Klan is still going strong and
Walton has lost the governorship.
He was deposed from Office because
he took advantage of weaknesses in
the United States Constitution, de-
clared war on an organization with
out justification, and violated his oath
of office. Even if the Ku Klux Khan
were half as bad as they are painted

Ku Klux Khan Had Nothing to Do
With Affair
The Ku Klux Khan, of course, had
nothing to do with the affair and it
was absurd for Negro Starks to in
ject the Khan into the matter at all.
It would seem to US that the Negro
injected the Ku Klux Khan into the
case, thinking that it might help him
personally somewhat by creating at
titude of minds which would favor
him. We don't think that the Court
paid any attention to the statements
of Starks' involving the Ku Klux
Khan. Negro Starks pleaded guilty
and was sentenced by the Court.
You have, already the decision of the
Court. Would suggest that you 60
back and re-read the part of the ar
ticle where we touched on this point.
According to Minnesota Statutes,
Section 5057, a BARRIERS certificate
may be revoked upon conviction for
any crime. It would seem it was in
order to call for a revocation of Tur-
ner Starks' certificate.
Section 1851, Minnesota Statutes,
states, under assault in the first de-
gree" every person who, with in
tent to kill a human being, or to COM
NIT felony upon the person or the
property of one assaulted, or Of an
other, shall assault another, with
loaded firearm, or any other deadly
weapon or by any force or means
likely to produce death, shall be
guilty of assault in the first degree
and punished by Imprisonment in
state penitentiary for not less than
five years nor more than ten years."
The question naturally arose in our
mind as to whether Starks had COM
mitted an assault and we find in
Bouvir's Law Dictionary, A to E,
"Any act causing well founded appre-
tension of immediate peril from
force already partially or fully put
in motion is an assault" Upon look
ing up case wherein a man had
struck a horse driven by another,
causing the horse to run away and
bringing about the injury of the driv-
er, the man who struck the animal
was found guilty of assault. In
Volume 5, Corpus Jurus, Page 615, it
gives the following definition of as
sault, "Any intentional, unlawful Of
fer of corporal injury to another by
force, or force unlawfully directed
toward the person of another, under
such circumstances as create well
founded fear of imminent peril,
coupled with the apparent present
ability to effectuate the attempt, if
not prevented, constitute an assault"

New York.-Although reports to
District Attorney Banton by his in
vestigators and by persons who pre-
viously had complained against i'm
moral plays on Broadway have indi-
Gated that there has been a general
cleansing of the plays. Harry L.
Bowlby, secretary of the Lords Day
Alliance, issued statement yester-
day in which he condemned condi-
lions in Jewish-managed theaters.
Mr.. Bowlby said that he obtained his
information by visiting the plays in
question. He says Jews and Cath
olics stand together to protect vicious
shows opposed by Professionals.
"On Sunday, October z, when sew
eral theaters in New. York gave the
proceeds of their Sunday night show
to the earthquake sufferers in Japan y
Mr.. Bowlby said, 81 personally at
tended one of the shows to see the
performance and to find out if that
performance and a number of re-
vues that were given were as bad as
they had been described to me,
found it, if possible, even worse than
described; one of the revues was
not only vile and vulgar, reeking with
profanity, but also misrepresenting
the evangelical Christian minister and
foreign missionary.
Hard to Comprehend Course

face of it's audience is hard to I'M

audience seemed to relish such a
misrepresentation. reported to a
representative of an outstanding mis-
sionary board and discovered that
mine was not the only severe criti-
cism made of the revue and the play
from which the revue was taken.
81 later visited the play from
which the revue was taken and found
it to be enc of the most disgusting
and damaging evidences against the
theater in the city, and the wonder
is that i. has been allowed to live in
this great metropolis"
1t is said that there has been
strong criticism of the play from
which the missionary scene in the
revue was taken, but police investi-
gators who visited it did not believe
prosecution was justified. This atti-
tude of officials is arousing indigna-
ton among Protestants.
Mr.. Bowlby said that if a Cath
Ollie priest or a Jewish rabbi were
caricatured on the stage as is a
Christian missionary in the play in
question, the manager would be COM
PEELED to remove it. He added:

case many thoughts arise in your
mind and you begin to wonder about
many things. Our purpose in telling
you the details is to arouse the

they will take a keener interest in
all matters pertaining to the welfare

because of the color of his skin.
Nothing could be farther from the

a square deal for all people and we
want laws enforced without fear and
without favor. One way to get bet
ter enforcement of laws is to pre-
sent various matters directly to the

their minds the details connected
Herewith and finally come to definite
conclusions based on facts and as a
result of considerable meditation.
Groveland Park Folks Within Rights
If Den E. Lane had not sold the lot
on St. Clair St. to Turner Starks, the
unpleasantness in the Groveland Park
district would have been avoided. It
is natural to expect that the people
of Groveland Park want to keep the
residential districts free from COM
mercial buildings, wherever such
buildings lower the property value of
their residential holdings and de-
crease the desirableness of any par
ticular block. Some people seem to
think that various real estate deal
ers have been seeking to make of St.
Clair st. another Rice St. and there
fore wished to force their way
through the opposition which comes
from individuals owning dwelling
houses on this street. Whether Den
E. Lane was seeking to turn St..
Clair st. into another Rice st. is not
known, yet it is beyond our under
standing why he should sell the lot
on st. Clair St., very nearly in the
middle of residential block, nearly
directly across the street from a
beautiful public school to, Turner
Starks. 1t would have made no diff
ference to the people of Groveland
Park whether Turner Starks were
white or black, they are opposed to
a barber shop directly in a residential
district and would have taken &C
tions similar to those which they
have taken, had Turner Starks been
a white man. Some contend that va
rious business men of the Groveland
Park district did not oppose the cree
ton of the barber shop, but the only
business man that we can find who

"In my judgment, the play should
receive a like fate from an aroused
and organized evangelical Christi
anity in Greater New York, and I be-
lieve the hour has come for a reck-
oning."
Charity organizations which are in
part supported by the churches, Mr..
Bowlby said, should be careful not
to accept aid from theater managers
who are Violating the law. He said
that a number of shows given on
Sunday are making money under the
subterfuge of charity.
Young Protests
The Rev.. S. Edward Young, pas
tor of the Bedford Presbyterian
church, Brooklyn, condemned two
shows today in a letter which he sent
to Mr.. Banton and also had pub
,ished in a newspaper.
Immoral and indecent German and
Austrian films are being furnished
to lower East Side theaters and stag
parties, according to information re-
ceived by the Office of the attorney
general. After the war, according to
Maurice H. Gotlieb, deputy attorney
general, German and Austrian pro-
ducers specialized in indecent films
to please jaded public. Now these
films are a drug on the market in
Europe and there is an attempt to
unload them here.
Six men have been prosecuted for
handling foreign films which were in
decent, encouraged crime, or had
bad influence on children, according
to Mr.. Gotlieb. Max Kleinman,
president of the Exhibitors Film Ex-
change of 100 West 46th street, was
arrested for selling two alleged in
decent Austrian films to Joe Bevala-
cuer, owner of the Novelty theater
at PA Bowery. Bevalacuer pleaded
guilty in Special Sessions. He said
he was not familiar with the law and
promised to turn states evidence
against Kleinman. He will testify at
Kleinman's trial on December II.
