BEARS AIDED BY
WARM WEATHER
Lower Foreign Cables De-
presses Mart.
By CniteI Press


CHICAGO. April 21.-Grain prices
opened lower on the Chicago Board
Of Trade today. The warmest day of
spring had decidedly bearish eff
feet on the markets.
The trade here had expected the
lower wheat opening in view of the
fact Liverpool was weaker today and
news emanating from other points
was just as bearish.
There was no particular feature in
the local pit at the opening that
could be credited with the bearish
influence unless it was the tempera
ture reports from throughout the
grain belt. There were the highest
yet recorded for the year.
Corn followed wheat and opened
fractionally off in all deliveries
Oats opened fractionally lower all
along the line.
Provisions opened unchanged.

NEW YORK, April 21.-Tuesdays
slight Improvement in the list car
ried Dow-Jones industrial average up
yesterday for tho third successive
session.
Small rallies in their period
caused scarcely more than a ripple
among the financial community.
They gathered some encouragement
from the fact that it was the first
sustained rally from the standpoint
of duration which industrials had
experienced in several weeks.
This thought brought further
short covering and some fresh buy
ing into the early dealings, impart-
ing a generally stronger tone to the
initial trading.
Stocks continued strong through
the morning session and good gains
were scored by nearly the entire
list. Trading was on a broader
scale than for any day in the past
week.
The railroad shares rose in sub
stantial amounts. The equipments
were strong, American Locomotive
gained a full point to 97ss.

Search Warrants

The entire Indiana judiciary was
criticised for insistence OF judges
that search warrants be definite be
fore arrests are made.
Gilliom came into possession of
the Shumaker report accidentally,
several days before reaching a deci-
sion as TO just what action he would
take.
His first move was a letter TO each
of the fifty-three trustees OF the
league calling thei rattention to the
charges against himself and the
court and refuting them.
He not only threatened to bring
contempt-charges against Shumaker,
Miles and Martin, but he also in
timated that he would bring action
against Shumaker for violation Of
the corrupt practices act. The at
torney general declared Shumaker
had made no statement in his re-
port OF the political expenses of the
league.
Gilliom was present in the Of
flee of Zachariah r. DUNCAN, State
Supreme and Appellate Courts clerk.

In addition to a verbal assault
aaginst the State Supreme Court,
Gilliom's and his office force of
young attorneys were scored for
their attitude toward the prohibition
law and were charged with general
inefficiency. Marion County courts
and the old city court also were
criticised.
One OF the statements concerning
the Supreme Sourt. which excited
Gilliom and prompted him to file
the information, was:
"A majority OF the court is at
least liberal in It's sentiments. One
of its members, Mr.. Willoughby
benjamin +. Willoughby of Vim
cennes), is said to be bitterly hos
tile to prohibition, and. If he had it
in his power would wipe all prohibit
ton laws from the statutes. It is
this judge who was defeated for re-
election in 1924 by 935 plurality, but
who still holds to his office on the
bare technicality Of n mistake in the
original returns to the secretary of
States office which accorded him
the office by Just one vote. We
trust that the next election will
give us a Supreme Court that will

Up to Congress

Authorization Of the Canadian sys-
tenn, in the Congressman opinion,
can be accomplished by congress
sional legislation.
IF it is legal under the Eighteenth
Amendment to authorize drug stores
to sell liquors for medicinal pur-
poses," Stephens said, ut is just as
legal for Congress to authorize the
sale and distribution of liquors un.
der governmental supervision. Such
sale will still be in line with the
prohibition amendment in that there
still will be prohibition of the wide
spread sale and distribution Of in.
toxicants.
1.-THE prohibition amendment was
intended to regulate the sale and dis
tribution Of intoxicants and a system
modelled after the Canadian system
would provide effective regulation"
Congressman Stephens believes
that the United States would expert.
ence the same benefits from regula.
ton that Canadian provinces are oh.
tanning.
ASOA0oo AbOVNAC66OA
THE bootlegger, with his poison.
GUS stuff, would be driven out Of bust
ness" he said, because there would
be no incentive to buy from him.
Crime would decrease, likewise
insanity and other ailments caused
from rotten liquor, because the pub
lie would be getting genuine bottled
in-bond goods, approved by the Gov.
eminent.
Drinking parties would be dis
couraged because there would not be
the incentive to violate the law when
the stuff could be obtained easily.
THE tremendous sums the Gov
eminent and the States now are
spending on prohibition enforcement,
without satisfactory results, would
be cut to a minimum and instead the .
States and the nation would actually
be making a small profit-they would
be obtaining for general taxation
purposes some OF the profits now
made by the bootleggers.
Congressman Stephens expressed
the opinion that when the American
people realize what Government SUI
pervision and distribution has &C
complished In Canada, the voters will
be willing to give it G. trial.
