New York Curb Opening
WHEAT, CORN LOWER

BU United Press
CHICAGO, July 2.-Fundamental
conditions are now governing fac
tors in the price of wheat following
the removal Of legislative influence,
and the market will depend on new
crop news, movement of wheat to
market, and the cash market. The
grain today opened 1s to 9s lower
than Fridays close. Today's trend
is extremely uncertain in view of
the recent nervousness.
While news on corn is of bullish
nature with news of a late and
small crop as given in private crop
reports yesterday, the price has
dropped the last two days as a re-
suit of liquidation and the influence
of large July deliveries. Today's
opening prices we're X to 1ss lower
than the close yesterday. The rains
over the belt recently we're a ma
terial benefit.
The outlook in oats is bullish as
far as the private crop reports and
conditions of the crop are con-
cerned, but this market is following
the bearish tendencies of other
grains instead of following its own
trend. Today's opening was un-
changed TO " lower than the pre-
vious close.

DRAFTED
FOR TAX CUTS
Slash in Specific ImpoStS OF
Millions on Program.
BY PAUL r. MALLON,
United Press staff Correspondent

Intfe0 EfCNs Niuif IOIffobphNtHt
RAPID CITY, S. D., July 2.-Re-
publican leaders who have been
cominI; out to see President Cool
idge at his summer White House on
Squaw Greek have worked out an
administration tax reduction pro-
gram which will be offered to the
December session of Congress.
This plan calls for reduction in
specific taxes Of $500, 100000 and re-
tention of other rates as they are.
rather than a general reduction all
along the line.
1t developed today that an effort
will be made to retain present rates
on incomes of less than $4,000,
upon the theory that the small
taxpayer has reaped most benefits
from recent reductions an dthat his
rates now are at rock bottom nor
NAL level.
Changes suggested in this agreed
plan include:
Reduction in corporations taxes
from 1914 to 10 or II per cent.
Elimination of all taxes on the
ater and baseball admissions and
club dues.
Diminution of levies upon incomes
of more than $4,000, on the ground
that these incomes have reaped
smallest reduction since high war
time levies.
Slight reduction in automobile
taxes.

The break in. the three-day heaJ

according to j. H. Armington,

Opening Markets

NEW YORK, July 2.-The action
of the stock market in early deal
ings today easily reflected the fact
that large number of traders had
left for an extended Fourth OF July
vacation period.
Trading was on light scale with
prices fluctuating in a narrow
range. Although outwardly the
market presented an appearance Of
irregularity, the undertone seemed
to imply a firmer tendency.
General Motors, which opened at
197A, firmed up to 1917 while
United States Steel, international
Nickel, Crysler, Colorado Fuel and
other recent favorites, showed frac-
tional gains. Rails were steady to
firm and several specialties con-
tinued their forward movement.
Baldwin sold down 2 points, how
ever, on profit taking.
Speculative sentiment which had
been cheered by the vigorous
character of Fridays recovery re-
ceived further encouragement from
the weekly reviews. These reported
marked improvement in forward
buying with small stocks on hand.
Transactions on the stock ex-
change were extremely light in early
dealings. Attendance in commits
sion houses was small and many
traders took a three-day vacation.
However, the main body OF stocks
displayed a good tone and most ac-
tivity present converged largely on
the upside.
Steel, General Motors and other
leaders maintained best levels OF the
rally, while further gains were
scored by individual issues ike
General Railway Signal and
Houston Oil.

PARIS, July 2.-Commander
Richard E. Byrd and his crew of
threee triumphantly arrived at their
real destination today, acclaimed by
crowds that die not hold against
them the fact that they arrived by
train.
An enthusiastic crowd, massed be-
hind French and American official
reception committees, was waiting
at the Care st. Lazaire station when
the train that had brought them
from Caen, where they spent the
night, steamed in at 1920 p. m.
A plan to take the fliers to -
Tomb of the Unknown Warrior di-
rect from the station was aban-
donei because of the tremendous
crowd that had gathered, and it
was decided to take them there
after luncheon.
News that Cammonder Byrd and
his companions, Lieut.. George
Neville, Bert Acosta, and Bernt
Balchen, were expected at noon be-
came known to Paris generally only
at the last moment.
But before the train pulled into
the station twenty minutes late and
the aviators had time to leave the
station, the streets for a dozen
blocks around had become almost
impossible.
Traffic was suspended.
The scene. with a greatly con-
trasting setting. became in miniature
that of Lindbergh's arrival at lie
Bourget.
The aviators left the station in
automobiles, accompanied.by French
government officials. and by Capt.
Richard d. White, naval attache az
the American embassy.
Crowds Mob Autos
Crowds mobbed the automobiles.
Police were unable for fifteen min
utes to force passage for them.
1t took half an hour to cover the
mile to the Continental Hotel, where
the aviators entered through a
closely guarded side door.
After a few minutes of refuge in
their apartments, the aviators were
forced by the mad cheers Of the
crowds in the Due de Rivoli outside
to appear on the balcony, Herbert
Adams Gibbons, Rodman Wanna
makers personal representative,
waving French and American flags.
After their appearance, Byrd re-
ceived French newspaper men.
Tell France we. are delighted to
be here at last" he said. 1--WE thank
Paris for its splendid reception.
Learn Much on Flight
1--WE have been told that a lone
American flier. with a one-engined
plane, arrived here before us. We
arrived, four of us, with three en-
gineS.
THAT is represented as vast prog
ress / nthe science of aviation. But
the real interest of our flight is not
in that. 1t is what we learned dur
ing the difficult hours we expert
enced.
I'VE had enough gas to travel be-
yond the French frontiers, but we
decided we wanted to give France
another proof of Americas affec-
ton. Therefore we consider our
journey ended here-at least our
first Jump.

Created by Kent County Levy Court

Wilson A. Moore, son of Rev Will
son c. Moore, Of Dover, was elected
constable at large for the county at
a meeting of the Kent County Levy
Court last week It is understood that
the new constable will not interfere
with the work of the regular district
constables but will work only with
Federal prohibition agents. The cleo
ton of constable of this kind is
new feature for Kent county and has
not been done in former years. Some
surprise was expressed at the Levy
Courts action in creating such an of
flee when there is vacancies existing
in the Office Of constable for some of

first brought before the Levy Court it

vestigation revealed, however, that he
reached his twenty-frst birthday last

and Case expressed themselves as
favorable to the new office and eX-
planned that it is necessary for Fed
eral officer to have local officer with
him at the time any arrests are made.
1t was further explained that the Fed
eral men used to be accompanied by
State Highway policemen but recently
this service was denied them. The
newly elected general constable will
be required to give bond the same as
the regular constables before he can
enter upon his new duties. No length
for his term Of office was contained in
the motion that carried his election.
