First Hour

Stocks maintained a strong tone
throughout the first hour, several rep
resentative issues advancing to new
highs for the in the face Of further
heaviness in the motor group, in
which Studebal1er and Chandler broke
10 new lows. General Electric con-
tinued the sensational feature of the
industrial group. rising to a new high
on the movement at Psi, against Tues
DAYS low Of 22O. B. NJ. T. preferred
also achieved a record 1924 high at
5s1k, up more than 4 points from
Tuesdays low.
Second Hour
Professional attempts to spread the
weakness in the motor group to other
sections of the industrial group proved
unsuccessful and the whole market
experienced a further recovery in the
late morning under the stimulation of
pronounced strength in special stocks.
American Can assumed leadership Of
the industrials, selling at 1861 against
Tuesdays low of 1928. discounting
important dividend action at next
Tuesdays meeting. Norfolk & West
ern was another issue which moved
ahead on the conviction that it was
considerably under-valued.
Noon Hour
Otis Elevator went into new high
ground on the movement at 157A
curing noon dealings on reports of
special distribution to be made at the
rext dividend meeting. Crucible's four.
point break to 56, which appeared to
be due TO a raid which caught stop
loss orders, failed to disturb the gen
eraI steel group. Mexican Seaboard
rallied to 1s against Tuesdays low Of
17h, responding to a dispatch from
Tampico showing that for the week
ended March Is. the company pro-
duced 32s, 900 barrels Of heavy oil.
Fourth Hour
Steadiness in the main body OF
stocks favored further operations for
the rise IN special issues in the early
afternoon. American Cans five-point
recovery to 117% and Norfolk's rise
to it's highest price since 1917 at 1851
were the outstanding features but
ether sections of the market were not
without strong spots. National Lead
rebounded six points to LAT on the
Streets refusal to accept statements
that there would be no increase in
the IS dividend rate.
Twenty. active industrial stocks on
Tuesday averaged $3.50. up .09 per
cent. Twenty active rails averaged
S1.0O. off .05 per cent.

Two Talesmen Excused

Alvey Jay of Bridgeport and vii
liam J. Ryan, 410S Carrollton Ave,
were challenged for cause by Inman,
and excused. Both said they had
formed opinions. Ryan has been a
lifelong friend of McCray and his
family, he said.
Alexander Johnson, r. r. B-1, Box
SO, and Lawrence Dinkel, r. r. b,
took the places Of Jay and Ryan in the
jury box.
Prospective jurors were asked con-
corning acquaintanceship with State
offices with persons connected with
the State in any capacity. or with per
sonal friends of McCray.
Friendship Questioned
Inman delved deeply into the tales
mems friendship with officers or en-
ployes of g. number of public utilities
and in several instances he asked
point blank If the talesman had been
approached with any offer of a favor
at the hands of the Governor or the
State in the event he became a mem
Der of the jury and voted for the Gov
ernor's acquittal.
Two Challenges Sustained
At the afternoon session Tuesday
two challenges for cause by Inman
were sustained by Judge Chamber
lain. Richard Habbe, life insurance
agent. who knew a great number Of
State officials, and Henry Reinitz. res
taurant owner, who had known the
Governor for three, years. both said
they had formed opinions in the case
and were excused on challenge by
Inman.
Members Of the bar who have been
watching the case predicted that a
jury may not be obtained for several
days. The defense has used one Of
its ten peremptory challenges while
the State has used none.

was fishing. He went to the lake and
found him there, out in a boat. He
called to him, giving his name. The
postmaster pulled bundle of letters
out of his pocket, looked them over,
and told the inspector: "No mail for
you," and resumed fishing.
An Indiana postmaster was in the
habit of carrying letters for his pa
irons in his pockets until they wore
out. He liked to deliver them in per-
son, so he could talk politics with
those to whom they were directed.
In Maine, the inspector learned a
postmaster was not sending out mail
every day. He called and saw a sack
half full of mail which he asked the
postmaster to close and send at once.
The latter refused, because the sack
wasn't full.
Down in Arkansas the inspector
called at a postoffice and a girl be-
hind the window told him the post
master wasn't in. The inspector left
word for him to be in at II o'clock.
When he went back, no postmaster.
He directed the girl to have him there
sure at o'clock. Again he found
him out. When the inspector in
sisted on seeing the postmaster
he was told to go to the hotel and
look for him. He did, and was di-
rected to a room. There he found
the object of his search in a game OF
poker with several other local men.
The inspector stated his business and
was told to go back to the postoffice
and wait there. He had been getting
sore, and this made him more so, and
he told the postmaster he didn't pro-
pose to fool around any more with
him; whereupon the postmaster, the
colonel, the judge and the other poker
players all arose and started for the
inspector. The inspector pulled a
gun. He was arrested and stuck in
Jail. The case was bitterly fought.
The government finally got the in
spector out, and then he was trans
ferred from Arkansas to Colorado af-

SKULL NOT OF MISSING
LINK SAYS AUTHORITY

The interesting news item in the
last issue of The Sun in regard to
the discovery of an ancient skull of
cliff dweller is at hand.
The extravagant claim was made
that the eye sockets of this skull
point downward, which evidently
would place them in the top of the
head.
1t IS also claimed that this skull
has no forehead, which indicates that
it is being tipped backward too far.
The skull of horse even, if tipped
backward too far, would show no
forehead-but very prominent nose.
Such are some of the results of
juggling with skulls.
This small part of a human skull
was found by Mr.. Pierce several years
ago, and IS now in the possession of
Mr.. Neil Erickson, who disclaims hav-
ing had anything to do with the
false revelation, SO misleading to the
public.
This skull appears to be quite nor
NAL when held in the right position,
with a higher forehead than some
persons seen on the streets every day.
The missing link has not been
found, nor can we forge one success
fully. Indeed, the popular theory of
the evolution of man has little or no
evidence to support it in this New
World. The Charley Chaplin mus
tache seems to come nearer indicating
the missing link than anything else
we meet with
DR.. W. Fl. Holmes, curator of the
Smithsonian institution, himself an
evolutionist, briefly states our present
status in the following words:
"The earliest skeletal remains in
the New World are of men represent
ing the perfected stage of physical
development, the crania correspond
ing closely with those of civilized
man; whereas, in the Old World the
earliest finds are of form hardly diff
ferentiated from the status of the
higher apes.
