year Merger rumors, involving prac-
ticaily every company of consequence,
accompanied the heavy buying of mo-
tor shares, although no authoritative
information was Forthcoming regard
ing prospective consultations.
General Motors responded to the
publication of favorable November
sales statement by moving up two
points to 154% and closing near the
top, but the advances in Hudson was
checked by unconfirmed reports of un-
satisfactory last quarter earnings, al
though the stock closed nearly point
higher at 515s. Nash touched another
new record top for the present stock
at 70B, and Continental Motors crossed
13 to new 1926 peak. On the other
hand, Hayes Wheel touched new low
at 17A.
A spirited demand developed towards
the close for Baldwin Locomotive,
which was marked up nearly five
points to 167, the highest price on rec
ord, later selling down to 165%. Among
the dozen or so other industrials to
break into new high ground were Col
Inns & Aikman common and preferred,
Jewel Tea, Chicago Pneumatic Tool,
Eastman Kodak and South Porto Rican
Tobacco
Texas & Pacific Land Trust achieved
the distinction of being the first stock
on the New York stock exchange to
sell above $4,000 share, setting new
| high record at 2O4O, an overnight gain
of 24O points. All transactions were
/, in lots of one to ten shares.
Speculative belief that Atchison di-
rectors will authorize a special dis
tribution after the turn of the year
was reflected in the brisk buying OF
that stock, which crossed 17O to the
, highest price on record.
/ Frisco preferred also attained new
peak. Reading broke from 100 TO 97A
/ following the announcement of an ex-
j ira dividend of 2 per cent, Wall street
having apparently expected larger
/ distribution. Western Pacific sank to
new low for the year.

WASHINGTON Dec. % tP).-In

low tide of Christian diplomacy,
senator King, democrat, Utah, today
s,mpliAed the assertions made in the

The resolution asks the foreign re

what part, if any, the state des

Chester oil concession for the ex-
ploitation of oil deposits in Mosui
and Armenia; what connection there
is between the Chester oil group and
Standard oil interests, and whether
the Chester interests were in any

GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO, Dec 23. = R - Persistent
deliveries on December wheat con-
tracts here, together with slowness of
shipping demand had a bearish effect
today on the wheat market as whole.
Last quotations on wheat were un-
steady at the same as yesterdays fin
ish to one cent lower, corn 12 to 9s
cent off, oats a to Is cent down, and
provisions unchanged to rise of 81
cents.
At first the wheat market showed
something of an upward trend owing
more or less to confirmation of re-
duced unofficial estimates of the
wheat yield in the prairie provinces OF
Canada. Besides, there were reports
of heavy rains in Argentina likely to
delay the movement of the Argentine
crop. Talk, too, was current that no
burdensome accumulation of wheat in
any domestic market appeared prob
able for at least some weeks, and that
with the exportable domestic surplus
much curtailed United States wheat
values would only reflect in part a
decling world level for wheat during
the spring. Selling pressure on De-
cember wheat nevertheless became OF
increased volume of the later dealings
and with December quotations going
to discount, the distant months were
also pulled down.
Offerings of December today We're
| considerably larger than has been the
rule of late. Meanwhile, cash demand
here for wheat was very limited and
export sales of North American wheat
today totaled but 100000 to 400,

Prieta and Nacozari during October and
November had miraculous escape
from death at Hermosillo Tuesday
when he was attacked by one of the
lions he uses in a lion-act and was
saved from death when another of the
lions counter-attacked the beast that
had struck down Fernando. Fernando
managed to make his escape from the
cage while the two lions fought.
Fernando has particularly daring
act, in which he enters a steel exhi-
bition cage with five lions and forces
them to go through a series of exhibit
tions. Tuesday night, one of the beasts
suddenly turned on the trainer and
struck him down. AS Fernando lay
beneath the animal, with the lions
claws ripping at his thigh and legs,
another of the lions leaped upon the
attacking beast and enabled Fernando
to escape from the cage.

NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-tR-The up
ward movement of stock prices was re-
sumed today in the face of the highest
call. money rate of the year. Operators
for the advance, apparently acting on
the theory that most of the weak hold
ings' had been eliminated in the reac-
ti6ns of the last few days, started to
bid UP stocks in all sections of the lost,
but the rails and motors gave the best
demonstrations of group strength
There was nothing in the days news
to explain the sudden upswing of
prices other than that the speculative
belief that the market had not yet
fully discounted the special dividend
and stock distributions already made
or in prospect. The latest report on
freight car loadings showed falling
off in comparison with the same week
last year for the first time since Janu-
airy, while some of the additional No
vember earnings statements making
their appearance, particularly South
ern Pacific also made unfavorable
comparison with the same month last

WASHINGTON COURT HOUSE, Ohio,
Dec. %. - az - A woman's agonized
cry of "Oh, Sam, don't was the main
clue upon which officials were working
tonight in their search for the thieves
who early today murdered Mr. and
Mrs. Charles Halterman at their farm
home in northern Fayette county
The cry came just before Mrs. Hal
terman was killed by blows from a
hatehet welded by one Of the men
who a moment before had murdered
her husband with his own shotgun.
1t resulted tonight in the arrest on
suspicion of Sam Satterfield, farm Ia
borer, who is held until charges that
he made threats against Halterman
are cleared up.
The HaItermans were awakened from
their sleep early this morning by a
disturbance in their chicken coop. Arm
ing himself with his shotgun and ac-
companied by his wife, Halterman went
to investigate. Apparently he was met
in the darkness by thieves, who wrest-
ed his weapon from his, turned it upon
hi mand later attacked the wife with a
hatchet.
Leo Halterman, brother of Charles
awakened by the gunshot, heard Mrs
HaIterman's screams. When he reach
ed the yard, his brother lay dead with
wounds in his head and back, and Mrs
Halterman, her head crushed. and
shoulders and body gashed, was dying
He heard an automobile speeding away
from the house, he declared. It was
alleged that Satterfield, who formerly
worked for Halterman, had made
threats against the dead man at Jeff

bushels, including some hard winter
wheat for shipment by way of the Gulf
of Mexico, some selling of wheat on
the part of country mills in the south
west was noted.
Corn and oats showed Independent
weakness.
The government survey of the pig
crop, indicating comparatively small
increase, was disappointment to
friends of higher prices for feed grain
A larger increase of the pig crop had
been looked for,
Provisions were strengthened by the
