"DEVIL WORSHIP"
STORY DENIED IN
OAKLAND MURDER

OAKLAND, Calf, March 26-Capt
r. V. McSorley of the Oakland po-
lice, who is in charge of the inves-
tigation into the so-called devil
worship" murder of Macario Timon,
goat raising recluse, Thursday de-
scribed as apple sauce" statements
that Timon may have been killed by
members of some order or sect.
Timon, who lived. in shack alone,
was found slain last week with his
throat cut. Reports to newspapers
said books and manuscripts of
cabalistic nature, Indicating member
ship in some weird secret order had
been found among the mans. effects.
Among these was a letter addressed
to 'Lucifer," signed by TEmon and
believed possibly to have been WRIT
ten in blood. Another book written
in a Latin language and believed by
some to be ritual, was also found.
Continued investigation today led
police to believe, they said, that
Timon was a bootlegger, deriving
most of his revenue from selling
geese, goats and wine. They scoffed
at the idea that he was a cult mem
Der murder victim and said that more
than likely he was killed by some
personal enemy or by a thief in a
fight.
Investigators also said that most of
the books and papers were in Spanish
and not of a recent date and that
they probably represent Timon's in
terest in occult things and were
probably purchased by him from some
dealer in old books.
1--WE have found no evidence what
soever of the existence here of an
order of 'dewil-worshippers, or any
such organization" Capt. McSorley
said.

GRAIN MARKET
(By Dispatch A. P. wireI

CHICAGO, March &c. Soaring
prices and big buying hoisted the
wheat market today to above SLIGO a
bushel for Chicago May delivery, in
dications of smaller world shipments
and of better demand from Europe
together with freezing temperatures
in Kansas were largely responsible.
Wheat closed buoyant, INC to 4Bc
net higher at the days tip-top fig
ures, May (new) SLIGO to $1.60A and
July $1.3S% TO $1.39, with corn 1c to
&c up, oats showing 1Ac to 1c gain
and provisions sc to tic advance.
Decided new upturns in quotations
at Liverpool did much to encourage
wheat buying here. Besides contin-
entail Europe was reported to be
taking Argentine and Australian
cargoes, and talk was current that
with supplies light both in Argentina
and Australia active buying of North
American wheat for Great Britain
appeared probable. There were also
signs that the United States visible
supply total on Monday would show
substantial decrease and advances
were at hand THAT entire depletion OF
stocks of wheat at ST. Louis was be-
ing looked fors
Uneasiness over field conditions for
the new crop of domestic winter
wheat became very evident, just as
the day drew to an end. In addition
to reports that three days of high
winds in Nebraska may have serious
ly injured wheat prospects, late word
from Kansas put emphasis on danger
that prevalent unreasonable cold
might impair the outlook for record
breaking Kansas wheat yield. Under
such circumstances, profit-taking sales
here, although heavy at times, acted
as only transient check on the rise
of values. Export purchasing of North
American wheat today was estimated
at 100000 bushels.
Corn and oats sympathized with
wheat strength Considerable notice
was also given to assertions that
for the present. and heavy country
marketing of corn is ended.
Provisions advanced with grain, de-
spite lower quotations on hogs.

Copper Outlook Bright,
Visiting Publisher Says

BISBEE, March 26:-Charles D.
Skillings, editor and publisher of
Skilling's Mining Review of Duluth
Mimi, a national publication devoted
to subjects of interest to men en-
gagged in the mining industry has
arrived here for a brief visit while
on a tour of the west gathering
material for his publication, which
enjoys a large circulation throughout
the United States. Skillings is in
specting the properties of the lead
ing mining companies in the west TO
gather first-hand information regard
ing the progress and development
made in mining in the west in the
past two years.
Skillings declares that mining con-
ditions in the west and in Arizona
in particular are much better than
when he last visited the state, two
years ago. "As far as copper is con-
cerned I am one of those who re-
CARDS the future outlook of the red
metal industry as hopeful and or-
timistic, to say the least" Skillings
averred. Citing the increase of Eu-
ropean consumption the past few
months the noted editor declared
that copper producers were assured
of a market for their product and
said that the newly organized Cop
per Exporters association would I'M
doubtedly do much toward stabiliz-
ing the foreign copper market aad
protecting the American producer
against unsound specializing prac
tees.
1.-The copper industry today is fund
amently sound and while there may
be no immediate rise in price, the
future outlook is anything but dark
and gloomy 1 believe we are in for
better times for every industry in
the United States, including the cop
per industry" he declared.

Stock prices headed upward in to-,
days market, but the rally was stub
bornly contested by bear traders who
hammered the public utility and food
shares, driving several of them to
new low levels for the year. Closing
quotations were Irregular, numerous
gains of 1 to nearly points in ac
tive issues being counteracted by a
smaller number of net declines rang
ing from 1 to 4 points.
Trading showed a market falling
off in volume, the days sales aggre.
eating 1877, 400 shares, as compared
with 2,SO1,7OO yesterday and 2,7O1,-
coo the day before.
THE recovery in the general list
was influenced by the widespread
speculative belief that the market
was entitled to a technical rally
after the recent sustained decline and
by the Improvement in credit condi-
lions. Call money dropped to Az per
cent after renewing at s; brokers'
loans dropped $81, 100000 in the week
ending March II, bringing the total
reduction since January to $751;
10000 and the reserve ratio of the
New York Federal Reserve bank in
creased from 77.8 to S1.4 per cent in
the last week.
The weekly mercantile reviews re-
ported several encouraging features.
Dun's states that lower prices for
both securities and commodities are
a prominent phase as the first quar-
ter of the year nears an ending" adj
ding that "the practice of buying
mainly for well-defined needs, which
has been rigidly adhered to, has kept
supplies of goods in a position where
quick turnovers are possible and
there is no evidence of a general de-
crease in the public purchasing pow
err"
Trading in today's market was of
a nervous character, particularly in
the motors and high priced indus
trials. Stocks purchased for a turn
on the up side were quickly sold on
the first sign of weakness, and short
sales in many instances were on in
dications of a rally.
The morning drive on the public
utilities was predicted on the theory
that current levels were OUT of line
with their yield and earning powers.
Such stocks as American Waterworks,
North American company, Public
Service of New Jersey and Columbia
Gas were hammered down 2 to nearly
points, but all made partial re-
covery from their low record Liz
uidation of the sugar shares appar-
emily reflected the recent weakness
in the raw sugar market, which,
however, improved today. American
Sugar Refining fell 81 points to 81,
a new low for the year, but recov~
cred half it's loss.
Commodity markets were mixed,
active wheat futures rallied to II to
SIZE a bushel, May wheat closing at
$3.50. Cotton was to points net

BRADSTREET'S REPORT
(By Dispatch A. P. wire)

(By Dispatch A. P. Wire)
NEW YORK, March 26.-Bradstreet's
tomorrow will say:
Warmer weather, some improve
ment in country roads and the nearer
approach of Easter have given a
slight impetus to wholesale and re-
tail buying. Purchasing at whole
sale, however, continues deliberate,
with hand mouth buying STRESSED,
and well-nigh universal complaint
among large producers of distributors
of small orders constituting the
greater part of the buying. Primary
and final distribution are alike
shade better than year ago at this
time, but the conviction seems to
grow that spring purchasing is likely
to show this year, as in the past
three, a period of cautious buying,
pending a clearer view of future
trade and crop developments

Philathea Class
Presents Fine Play
At Junior School

The Philathea Glass of the First
BAPTIST church gave it's play THE
Cool Collegians" last evening in the
auditorium of the Junior High school.
Inc snow was very cleverIy staged
and the humor of the play was very
we'll received.
Several of the features We're sur
prises to the audience, especially
when it was learned that Nellie
Durham" was none other than DR..
ii. w. Mitchell. one of the most
prominent members of his profession
in the city. DR.. Mitchell is a promin-
ent member of many of the clubs of
Waterville, among which are the
Elks' and Lions organizations, His
old time fiddling was very instrument
tai in gaining success for the show.
Another feature was the style
show under the direction of Ida Tay-
lor Hersom, who has just returned
from New York City with an i'm
posing array of the newest fashions.
Local girls We're the models and the
style show was very interesting to
the ladies present.
The comedy, 1.-The Cool Collegians''
kept the audience in fine humor all
evening. From start to finish the
collegianS were in some sort of typi-
cal college mix-up. George Halves
and Cecil Foote. students at Colby
college. played the parts of the coll
leg boys and their work was very
fine. Others who starred in the play

Colby World Court
Committee Sends
Word Maine Senators

The Colby world court committee
today sent a telegram as the repre-
sentative of the Colby student body
which recently voted overwhelming
ly in favor of the world court to the
Maine representatives in the senate
asking them to use every effort in
support Of the permanent court of
international justice.
This was suggested by telegram
from the New England world court
committee which stated that the
present crisis in the senate necessi-
tated immediate action and asking
the Colby committee to reflect the
demand of the student body to the
Maine senators.
kilograms were sent to Senators
Hale and Fernald and urging their
support of the court and requesting
them to do their utmost to secure the
passage of the prorqsal now before
the senate. The former commended
Senator Hale for his stand in favor
of the permanent court of interna
tional justice and the latter urged
Senator Fernald to reconsider his
attitude toward it. Senator Fernald
caused some furry in Maine political
circles last week when he made a
very strong speech in opposition TO
the plan before the upper house of
congress. There has been some criti-
cism of this position taken by Sena-
tor Fernald as sentiment in Maine
seems to be favorable to the court.
Further requests will be made this
evening by some of the members OF
the Colby faculty as well as by many
of the students when they wire indi-
viual requests to their senators ask
ing them to favor the world court
plan now before the senate and on
