pocket for possession Of the con-
tract after 1t had been rescinded.
When Maxwell refused to consider
this, Collins, according to Maxwell,
then offered to trade three smaller
contracts for the large one.
Collins Denies Offer
Collins told The Times he did not
make the offer, although 1t is under
stood he explained to Remy and his
aids that the purpose of presenting
the company's representatives with
the 5000 was to reimburse them for
their expenses in carrying out the
contract.
Maxwell told Remy the following
story:
The contract was received at the
Polk Company, Dec. 28, day after
the grand jury drawings. Late in
the afternoon Of the same day, Col
Inns phoned Maxwell and told him
there had been a "mixup' in the
milk deal and to come at once to the
city hall.
Not Passing Buck
When Maxwell and Pritchard ar
rived, Collins said he wasn't trying
to pass the buck" but the contract
had to go to j. & A. and the Polk
company would be taken care of
later.
Maxwell refused to return the con-
tract and asked City Controller Will
liam c. Buser what to do. Buser
advised him to see the mayor. While
they were awaiting the mayor, Col
Inns came In and became angry be-
cause Maxwell and Pritchard had
made an effort to go over my
head"
The next day, in conference with
j. Duane DUNCAN, Polk Company
manager, and Pritchard, Maxwell
was instructed that the contract was
legal and the company would fight
the limit"
That afternoon Maxwell and Pritch.

OF the contract. 1t was then that
Collins offered the 5000 reimburse
ment fund, Maxwell said.
Hospital officials made no definite
recommendations for the milk of
any certain company, it was said.
May Be Challenged
When Antrim reports for grand
jur y service in Criminal Court
thursday morning, it Is expected that
Prosecutor William II. Remy will
challenge him because of the city
milk deal. The new jury is to con-
tinue the political graft and corrup-
ton probe.
Five others who will report as
prospective jurors are: Richard Fair
banks, L. B. Martindale, Charles
Clark, Herman J. Barnard and John
L. Griffith. William Allen, one of
the jurors drawn, was found to have
been deceased five years.
Deputy Prosecutor William H.
Scatter stated he did not believe a
jury will obtained for several days.
Mayor Duvall declared that he did
not know anything about the milk
mix-up that John is in

was anything Of the kind was when

1.-THE reason Remy is taking this
up is because he probably wants to
talk to the papers. Anyway, Col

ATCH|SON EXTRA
DIVIDEND BRINGS
5-PO|NT DESCENT
MockIer Predicts Effect
of Coming Motor
Show.
BY T.. Walter MOckler

NEW YORK, Jan. 5.-AtchiSOn
directors met Tuesday and declared
the long hoped for extra dividend,
but not in quite the dimensions
hoped for in the Street. The an
bungled by the reporting tickers
through over-anxiety and the Street
had a minute Of uncertainty. The
extra dividend amounted to rs cents
per share in addition to the regular
dividend at the rate Of z per cent
annually. The first ticker flash re-
ported the dividend at per cent,
or SO per share.
If the 75-cent extra dividend is
continued quarterly it will place
Atchison on a SO annual extra basis.
However there was no indication
that the extra would be declared
again and the street took the view
that only a 75-cent extra could ac-
tually be counted on and gagged it's
market activity accordingly. After
a brief period of strength during the
minute that it required to correct
the erroneous report, Atchison weak
ened appreciably and dropped more
than points below its previous
closing basis.
Shifting Moves
In the balance of the market the
trend was firm and weak by turns
in quick shifting movements. On
the one hand there was plenty of
stock for sale. but the action of the
market Indicated that the pro-
fessional interests which were
endeavOring to unload were quick to
resent any short selling by other in
terests and were willing and able to
protect their markets against such
attacks.
Call money held at per cent all
day with sufficient funds to supply
all demands. 1t is probable that
funds will remain steady to easy for
the coming few weeks with the year
end turnover completed and the vast
volume OF currency withdrawn for
holiday purposes put back in the
banks again. 1t is the withdrawal
of currency such as This which does
the most to firm up money rates.
Even more so than the concentration
Of funds for window dressing pur-
poses at the end of the year.
Motor Show
With Nash holding exceptionally
we'll. the motor stocks received sub
stantial support today. This is not
unusual concerning the size of the
outstanding short interest and the
fact that the motor show is but a
few days away. 1t is usual to expect
good support Of the motor stocks
during this show, even If it is nee
essary to inspire the support. 1t is
realized that the coming motor show
will have more real significance than
most previous like exhibitions. Con-
ditions in the motor industry have
narrowed down to n point where
competition is pressing against the
smaller companies and is keeping
the major producers keenly on the
alert. Naturally the big compa1ies
can operate on a narrower margin
than can the small units and as a
rule are much better situated to
stand off a price-cutting war. IF
such n war comes, and 1t will not
surprise Wall Street to see it, the
small companies are going to have
hard Shedding Of it and no mistake.

They came by foot and in auto

Of gifts-mostly clothing and food
and the brown-eyed little mother of
the Hiatt children was fairly stunned
with the realization Of what all this
meant. "Oh, 1 didn't know people
could be like this-so wonderful"
she said, turning away and sobbing
as If her heart would break.
