BERLIN LEADERS
 WANT HEAVY VOTE Both Parties Unite in Ap-
 peal to Town Electors GABB HAS GOOD SUPPORT
Man Sued By Victim of Auto Acci- dent For SS,000, Fined S25 and Costs At Town Court - Church News-Other Items,

Leaders of the democratic and re- publican parties have united in a call for complete vote at the polls on Tuesday. Politicians in this place have long bemoaned the results of Incomplete turnouts on election days and are particularly anxious to get at least an so per cent vote on November 2.
 Politics have quieted down pre- paratory to the final burst of en- thusiasm on Tuesday. Both parties have explained their platforms at rallies and through personal con- tact of the candidates from this district and are resting on their merits and viewing the results with optimism. Both candidates for representative to the legislature are well known and well liked, the re- publican candidate, Claude w. Stevens having served in the Hart ford house for three terms, twice as representative and once as sena- tor. while the democratic choice for the position, Mrs Mary M. Lardner, has been prominent in town affairs both social and political and is wide ly known.
 Republican leaders state that their party presents list Of men who have all served in the office to which they are seeking reelection with the exception of Judge Benja- min w. filling who is candidate for attorney general. As Judge filling was born and spent his boyhood in Berlin, local republican supporters are asking that the town give him its support at the polls on Tuesday, They further point to the record Of Stevens and hold that as tnelr heaviest argument In favor Of re- publican majority.
 The democratic interests are seek ing to disrupt the old republican majority by carrying kensingtoh. The town elections. they state, point ed out that Kensington was ready for a departure from old party lines. East Berlin, they further add, did not give it's usual support to the re- publicans and democrats in this place are hopeful that they too will invade the republican ranks ana strengthen the democratic attack.
 Gabb is reported to be the faV- orite for the position of sheriff from this town, almost everyone except the old guard G. o. P. members stating that they will cut at least one member of the ticket.
 First Selectman Carter joined the politicians today in urging a com- plete turnout Tuesday and mention ed that sample ballots may be ob- tained at the town hall for inspec- tjon before election day. He remind- ed the voters of the oath they took when being sworn in that they would vote conscientiously ana stated that only q complete turnout would comply with that oath.

HIGHEST LEVEL
IN 70 YEARS OF
R. R. SHARES
(By Dispatch A. I Wire)
Stock market averai

NEW YORK, June 24.-Establish-
ment of the highest level in several
years by the average of 20 leading
railroad shares featured the resump-
ton of the upward movement of
prices in todays stock market. The
advance was not uniform because of
a continuation of heavy profit-taking,
which unsettled the market somewhat
at the opening, but net gains of 1 to
5 points were scattered over broad
list at the close. Trading showed an
other marked falling off in volume,
the days sales aggregating only L.
342,100 shares, compared with 1885,
200 yesterday and 2,426, 100 last Thurs
day.
The days business news, which con-
sisted largely of earnings and sales
reports, was constructive in character.
Freight traffic in the week ended
June IL again exceeded the million
mark and an increase of 50 ton in
steel beams was reported from the
Pittsburgh district. The New York
federal reserve bank rate was UNI
changed, setting at rest rumors that
another cut would be made this week.
Revival of speculative interest in
selected group of oil shares, based on
favorable merger earnings reports,
was another outstanding development
of the days trading. Amerada cor
poration and General Petroleum, which
have not participated extensively in
recent bullish demonstrations, each
advanced over points to new high
records for the year at 313s and 681b,
respectively. Other outstanding in
dustrial strong spots included Dupont,
Case Threshing Machine, General Re-
fractories, Kinney & Co., Standard
Milling, United Cigar Stores, U. S.
Cast Iron Pipe and United Drug.
Texas and Pacific Land Trust scared
80 points to $1,000 a share on a few
odd lot sales.
Further irregularity developed in
the commodity markets. Cotton fu-
lures showed net advances of 16 to
27 points after an early pediod of
heaviness. Wheat futures closed

slightly higher in sympathy with
stronger foreign markets. Raw sugar
was unchanged, but futures were
slightly easier. Coffee prices were
practically unchanged.
Call money renewed at Az per cent
and remained at that rate all day.
Time money and commercial paper
rates were unchanged.
Foreign exchanges displayed a
strong undertone. Demand sterling
was firm around $4.S6 3-16 and French
francs jumped nearly 10 points to
above $50 cents, in reflection of the
completion of Premier Brands tenth
cabinet. Norwegian kroner dropped IL
points to 21.93, but the other con-
tinental rates showed moderate gains.

GRAIN MARKET.
by Dispatch A. 2. wirel

CHICAGO, June 24.-The grain mar
ket took to an upgrade today and the
closing was generally firm, although
all pits reported interest dull and
trade light. Reports of heavy rain
and hail in parts of the southwest,
with a forecast of unsettled weather,
had considerable influence on wheat
values and the market closed strong
at an advance of Il cent to ss cent,
corn finished q cent lower to Il cent
higher, oats 4 cent down to Is cent
up and provisions at to Is cents de-
cline.
Wheat traders were unable to make
much Roadway up or down in the
forenoon. The market was somewhat
easier early on local selling, but as
offerings were quickly absorbed at
around $1.37 for July, a bulge of 1as
from the low figures followed.
Sentiment was mixed, bears hoping
for lower levels on reports of an in
creased movement of the new crop in
the southwest, while friends of high
er prices looked with favor on the
unsettled weather there and a fore
cast of more rain for Kansas which
harvest fields Towards the close
the wet weather men prevailed. AS
buying developed shorts began to
cover and the forenoon depressions
were smoothed out.
Corn and oats were affected some
what by the action of wheat early in
the session, but later developed
heavy undertone of their own. What
little trading there was appeared to
be in the nature of changing, one
house buying July and selling Decem-
Der, while northwest houses sold Sep
TENDER and bought December. Hedg
ing and liquidation was on in oats,
the market remaining sluggish most
of the day.
Selling by packers and commission
houses eased provisions

REED AGAIN
PUTS WHEELER
ON The STAND
(By Dispatch A. P. wire)

WASHINGTON, June "a. With
Wayne B. Wheeler again facing him
across the senate campaign funds
committee table, Senator Reed of
Missouri today began turning the
spotlight on Anti-Saloon league fl
nances.
From the general council and leg
islative agent of the league, the COM
mittee learned that the campaign to
bring about national prohibition had
cost the dry organizations of the
country $S5,OO0,OOO, and that expenses
during the intensive years of the
fight Immediately preceding enact
ment of the eighteenth amendment
mounted to $2,5OO,OOO annually.
Wheeler, who took the stand after
a long private conference with the
committee, had no detailed figures
for those years, but produced reports
on receipts and disbursements during
the six years following enactment of
the prohibition law
Income of the national organiza-
ton amounted to nearly $1,O00,OO0 in
192O-$848,174.SS was the exact fig
ure-but- after that it decreased grad
ually until in 1925 it totalled only
$370,22O. Disbursements each year al
most reached the total income, the
money going for salaries, speakers,
publicity, organization and law en-
forcement work in the states.
Wheeler told Reed that the income
of the national organization did not
In nf MI
state organizations; that he had asked
officials of the league to send in re-
ports for the state bodies.
The dry leader also explained that
the funds accounted for did not in
clude money spent directly in polite
cal campaigns; that there was a sep.
arate campaign committee of which
Andrew Wilson of Washington is
their chairman, and it makes reports
directly to the clerk of the house as
required under the law.
The meeting today between Wheeler,
and Reed lacked many of the dramatic
incidents of their clashes last Thurs
day. Once or twice Reed admonished
the witness to answer questions di-
rectly and also informed him that
gagged in investigation of Pennsylvan-
las $9,00O,0OO republican primary, it
was not combining it's activities to
that state alone. That the commit
tee is determined to look deeper into
the Pennsylvania situation was 'madei
evident today by the issuing of sub
poenas for six more persons from that
state. Among them are supporters Of
both the Ware Beidlemann and the
Pepper Fisher tickets.
Wheeler occupied the stand today
less than an hour, the committee
cutting short the hearing for the day
because of important legislation pend
ing in the senate. Scarcely had they
reached the senate chamber before
Senator Nicely of West Virginia, a
democrat on the elections committee.
offered a resolution limiting eXpendi-
lures by or on behalf of senatorial
candidates to $4,000 for both the
primary and general election.
