Big Growth Seen
in Rail Report
During Past Year $50 Industries Ar
ranged for Transportation With
the C. & N. w. Rail System.

An indication of the industrial
growth of the nine central states
served by the Northwestern railroad
lines, including wisconsin, is seen in
the annual report for 1923. During
the past year 500 new industries were
started in this territory. The con-
struction of private tracks was rsquir-
ed by 268 of these new industries.
From reports which have already
been made for the present year, it APP
pears that the expansion for 1924 will
be even greater, it was announced.
These new industries, it is pointed
out, cover variety of production and
tap the iron ore, the timber lands,
water power facilities, coal fields and
agricultural districts. A survey has
shown that there is also a rapidly
growing market and distributing ter
ritory which has encouraged new
jobbing and wholesaling concerns to
start operations.

KEN0SHA KLANSMEN
REPORTED PRESENT
KIux from Kenosha are Reported to
Have Attended KlanA Jamboree
at Waukesha Sunday.

Waukesha, Wis. Sevefal hundred
klansmen from Milwaukee, Racine, Ke-
nosha and surrounding territory were
present here yesterday at a meeting of
the Ku Klux Khan, held on aAfarm just
southwest of the city. Theke was no
sign Of disturbance and despite the fact
that khan meeting was broken up
following near riot at a Aotel here
recently, the meeting was held without
interruption. Announcements of the
meetings were sent broadcast about the
city and it was apparent the klansmen
were prepared to cope with any out
break No attempt, however, was made
to stage any kind of demonstration
in khan regalia and hoods and masks
were not in evidence.

Gus not to have their brotherhood con-
fused in any way with that Of the
so-called Independent Catholic church.
Because there has been a certain ac-
tivity apparent in the Grand avenue
church, clergymen in general in Ke-
nosha have been not willing to be
identified with the leader of Independ-
ent organization.
The news that an uprising was at
work in the congregation, was received
without much surprise, as it has been
known that there has been friction
between the uncouth church leader
and the members of the parish.
Officer. Go To Church.!
Police officer Ohmstead and Joe
Bauschelt were detailed to ego to
church" Sunday morning. It was
rather an unusual command to issue
ficer obeys. The two officers went to
church therefor, but they went attired
rather differently than they do when
attending services voluntarily. Each
carried his gun strapped stoutly about
his waist and loaded with bullets.
They had their clubs with them also
instead of prayer books.
If the officers said their prayers as
they stood on duty, they were doubt
less to the point that everything
would be quiet and stay quiet, and
their prayers on this occasion, if such
they were, were answered. Peace
reigned, and the April sun smiled on
the fairest day that Kenosha has
known so far. The members of the
church filed past the doors to service
and filed out again, without any pas
sage of the hot word or swift weapon.
The church is gathering place of
Russian Poles, but in this case it is
said to have become a gathering which
has become dissatisfied with the shep-
herd to the extent of occasioning fear
within his own breast.
1t is said that the congregation has
asked the Rev. j. Nurkiewicz to re-
sign his post amongst them and that
he has refused. His refusal again, the
claim Is, Isl based upon his alleged
demand that certain sums be paid
him which he says are due from back
salary. On the other hand the parish
oners, it is said, claim that he has had
charge of certain church funds and
not rendered suitable accounting and
that he still has part of there funds
in his possession.
There is believed to be still another
reason for the breach in confidence
between the priest and the people, but
whether or not there was any basis
in fact for the reasons advanced for
the lack of faith in the leader could
not be- ascertained today.

Charge Husband
With Non-Support
Clarence Adams is Brought Into Mu-
nicipal Court This Morning for
Failing to Support Family.

Charged with failure to support his
wife and two children, Clarence Adams,
663 Garden street, was brought into
the municipal court this morning. Adj
ans said that the reason he had not
taken care of his family was due to
poor health. He said he had been OPP
Grated upon in January, and had not
been able to work.
According to officials who have had
charge of the case, Adams had not
been working for year prior to Janu-
airy, giving as an excuse his state of
health. An operation was arranged at
the expense Of the county, and Adams
was given four weeks in which to con-
valesce and then provided with job.
This he held for four days and then
quit, it was said.
This morning Adams went to Jail
in default of bail, as sentence was not
upon him at this time.

Trouble Arises at Church of Immaculate Conception
Over Funds - Church is One Not Recog-

Services were conducted under the
watchful eye Of the law Sunday at the
Independent church of the Immaculate
conception, at 40 Grand avenue.
Police protection had been requested
prior to the opening of the church on
Sunday by Rev. j. Nurkiewicz, priest
Of the church, who apparently antici-

to- be on guard, armed as usual and
ready for any emergency.
The morning, afternoon and even

Grand avenue was as peaceful as the

BONDS ADVANCE
 ON PROFIT SALES
Higher Money Discour- ages Speculative Ope-
 ratiOns In Rails

NEW YORK, Dec 23.-Bond prices advanced today under a wave of pre- holiday liquidation and profit taking. stiffening of the prime money rate was in response to the rise in the call fund rate to per cent coupled with the general tendency of investors to unload holdings during the holidays, dulled the edge Of trading and brought about frac- tlonal recessfons in all classes of bonds.
 Speculative operations in railroad bonds were discouraged by the higher money rates, and many of the issues which have led in recent activity yielded portions of their gains. Among those which declined a point or more were Seaboard adjustment lives, Norfolk and Western convertible sizes, Intern national Great Northern adjustment sizes, New Haven sevens and convertible sizes, and Chesapeake and Ohio convertible lives, New York Central Consolidated fours showed independent strength, advancing a point.
 Interest in new financing also Jagged today in view of the forthcoming holi- day but bond offerings are expected to increase in number and volume after Christmas. Banking interests which re- gently completed arrangements for a $10,000,0 900 loan to the Krupp Works were reported to be negotiating a credit of between $15,000.0o0 and $20,0OO, 900 for the Thyssen Iron Works of Germany which may involve a public offering.
 The firner tone of the money market was reflected in further ease of Liberty bonds. Most of the foreign obligations, notably the French issues, also worked lower.

WHEAT SCORES
 BRISK UPTURN
Advance Results From Better Buying Support
 Accorded Market

CHICAGO. Dec. 23.-Wheat scored some brisk upturns in price today, chiefly as a result of better buying sup port and owing to decrease of selling pressure. Much of the buying was from houses that were conspicuous yesterday as sellers. Closing quotations on wheat were firm, N to 1ac higher; May $1.73A @1.73% and July $1.4sh. Corn finished 1A to 24c up; oats at 4 to 7s c gain and provisions unchanged to 12c down.
 Unexpected relative steadiness Of wheat quotations at Liverpool had a stimulating effect on the market here, and with strong interests absorbing the surplus offerings an upward trend was quickly in evidence. Meanwhile, the general trade, largely of a pre-holiday character seemed responsible 10 taik' which was current that hperal European buying would soon develop again with the new year and was likely to increase to a notable extent during the early spring. Besides, snowfalls over the domestic winter wheat belt were oftset by assertions that benefits had been precluded by Arctic weather of late.
 Reports that only 16 to 20 per cent of the domestic wheat crop in the north west remains to be marketed were Something of a factor encouraging to buyers. Partly in this connection, de- mand from speculative short sellers In creased as the day drew to an end. Notice also was taken that primary re- ceipts as a whole were smaller and that some western points had extremely scant arrivals.
 Reinstatement of recently sold out holdings gave independent strength to the corn market. In addition, weather conditions that would tend to enlarge feeding demand were prevalent. Oats followed corn. Packers selling weak ened the provision market.

COTTON BEARISH
 ON SALES MOVE
Market Opens Steady But Closes 21 To g Points
 Lower

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.--Persistent sell ing from the west. the south and Wall Street, although in small volume, ex- ert ed d bearish effect on the cotton mar ket today. Jenuary sold as low as 23o2c and March 23.74c with the close only a little above this level and 21 to 32 points under the previous night.
 The market started out steady with prices unchanged to Il points higher, influenced by steadier cables and sup port from the trade, Liverpool and local shorts. This demand was soon supplied, however, and in absence of any general outside interest and the unsettled con dftion of the stock market, local selling pressure made Itself felt more strongly than usual.
 Although adyices from the goods market and spot news from the south continued rather favorable to the bull fish element, the exports were smaller for the day There also was some south Atlantic selling in the afternoon while cables were received here i1.imatfng that continental merchants were over stocked with cotton which they were f,nc,ne 1t difficult to move. In view of the tendency toward pre-holiday hqui- dation, the market appeared to require steady demand to keep 1t from sagging, and was less responsive to bullish news than 1t had been earlier in the week. Many local traders appeared wiling to remoin out of the market until after the new year when, according to general belief. an expansion Of business ln COL ton goods is expected.
 Exports for the day were only 10000 bales but 1t is believed considerable cot ton is on shipboard at gulf ports await ing shipment this month, while several thousand bales of the new stocks are also understood to be marked for ex- port shipment.
 Exports so far this season 4,064, ,093 Port receipts 44,927. United States port stocks 160S,509.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON

NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 23.-The cotton market was only moderately active to- day, the session being characterized by | alternating periods of dullness ana com parative activity. The trend of prices was downward almost from the start, although there were slight gains at the opening owing to the fact that cables were better than due. Liquidation promptly set in, however, and although there were brief rallies during the day they were short lived and the selling gradually increased. The liquidation was principally in the January position ow- | ing to the expectation of heavy tenders | on January contracts on Friday the first notice day for that month. Pre- holiday evening up and the rather gen eral rains helped the selling and the easier tone was also influenced by fears | of marked reaction in the stock mar ket after the turn of the year.
 At the start first grades showed gains of four to eight points and these gains est tablished the high points of the day with January at 23.91c, March at 24.00c and May at 24.90c. The decline was started promptly but was gradual, the rallies being exceedingly small and short lived The lowest levels of the day were reached in the late afternoon when January traded down to 23.55c, March to 236Sc and May to 24.00c, or | 30 to 35 points down from the highs. There was slight rally at the end and the close showed net losses for the day of 21 to 27 points near months show ing the greatest losses.
 | The certificated stock here Is now about 94,000 bales and Is expected to increase to fully 100000 Tomorrow will | be the last notice day for December contracts and considerable notices are expected. Friday will be the first mo- tice day for January and 1t is believed that all the cotton delivered on Decem- Der contracts will be retendered on Jan uary contracts. Exports for the day were moderate totaling only 20.095 bales l The local exchange will be closed
