In the Stock Market
fRv Thomson & McKinnon)


NEW YORK, June 9.-We are
gratif1ed to know that with the ex-
ception of few highly speculative
issues the rest of the market has
declined in very orderly fash
ion, which has permitted traders to
select levels at which they wish to
dispose of their holdings. At the
same time we would like to i'm
press upon those who labor under
the impression that orderlineSs of
decline is an indication of improved
market position that the truth OF
the matter is the market is in more
vulnerable position than ever for
whatever liquidation has appeared
during the week was of voluntary
character only. The point we wish
to bring out is that as liquidation
continues and prices recede, many
who are still watching their profits
disappear will be convinced that
they are on the wrong side and be-
gin selling. This will add momen-
itum to the decline so in view OF
these obvious conditions we are
firmly convinced that those who IL
quidate at current levels will be
thoroughly satisfied with their good
judgment.

ACCEPT DEMOTIONS
School Heads Expected to
Take Teacher Jobs.

Three indianapolis assistant school
superintendents, whose positions
were abolished recently by the
school board. probably will accept
teaching positions to be offered
them, it was learned today.
Two Of the assistants, Miss Flora
Drake and D. T. Weir, said they
probably would accept positions as
signed them for the sake of
harmony. Joseph F. Thornton said
he probably would accept, but
wanted to know something more
definite about his probable assign
ment before committing himself.
The board is expected to approve
recommendation of Superintendent
Charles F. Miller that Miss Drake
be assigned as a primary teacher
and that Weir and Thornton be as
signed as instructors at Arsenal
Technical and Shortridge High
Schools respectively.
Murray A. Dalman, director of
research, who it is reported will be
reduced to a position as a high
school instructor, refused to COM
ment on the change until he obtains
more definite information.

Hope for Life
Ray Of Optimism Lights
Way for Radium
Poison Victims.

BIZ United Press
ORANGE, N. j., June 9.-Dr.
~ S. A. Vonsochocky, physician
and chemist, who is victim of
radium poisoning, held hope today
to the five women whom ply
sicians have said would be dead
within two years of a malady con-
tracted in the plant of the United
States Radium corporation.
Their systems gradually are
eliminating the poison he said,
"and since they have survived the
attacks of much larger amounts
of the radioactive substance, it
is reasonable to suppose they will
live for several years"
Vonsochocky, who has lost
several teeth because of the
poisoning, was infected through
the pores of his skin while ex-
perimenting with paint in the
radium corporations plant.

OPINION WAS PERSONAL

An inquiry into whether talesmeg.
for the Earl Klinck trial jury were
unduly prejudiced against the de-
fendant was terminated in Criminal
Court today almost. as suddenly as
1t was ordered Friday evening.
Efforts to get IIry to try Klincl1
on a charge of being an accessory 10
the illegal use of a notary's seal
we're resumed after Special Judge
Thomas E. Garvin and attorneys
for State and defense had queS-
toned E. j. Schneiders, combustion
engineer, 1886 N. Illinois ST., who
had been excused from the jury list
late Friday.
His "Own Opinion"
Just before Schneiders finally was
dismissed Friday he remarked that
he wasI prejudiced against Klinck
because of his record and that he
believed every prospective juror felt
about the same way. He remarked
that it looked like "Klinck is in for
trimming"
Defense attorneys at once re-
quested an inquiry and Judge Gar
vim subpoenaed Schneiders to ap-
pear this morning. Teh court has
instructed the talesmen not to talk
about the case to outsiders or
among themselves.
On the witness stand this morn
ing Schneiders explained that his
statements Of Friday were purely his
own honest opinion based upon OBJ
servation, that he had not talked
with the talesmen about the case
and had not heard any of them
talking with others.
Forgery Charged
The court excused him without
prejudice.
The State charges that Klinck
figured in the procuring of forged
affidavit to. the effect that William
Rogers, former Klan organizer, was
paid by Editors Boyd Gurley of The
Indianapolis Times and Thomas H.
Adams of the Vincent Commercial
to testify before the Senate cam
paign investigation committee that
he had seen the imperial council
Klan membership card of United
States Senator James E. Watson.
The case has been under way
since Thursday morning.
One Challenge Left
Defense started the day with only
one of their ten peremptory chal-
lenges uneXhausted. The State had
not yet used any of their allotted
ten. A total of twenty-eight jury
men had. been examined and dis
missed since the trial started Thurs
day.

MAYOR TANGLE
LEFT TIED UP
BY HIGH COURT
Adjourns for Week With
No Action on SIaCk's
Right to Office.
OTHER APPEALS WAITING
Shumaker and Steve Gases
Still Are Hanging Fire
Before Tribunal.

Whether L. Ert Slack is legally
mayor must. continue uncertain at
least until a week from next Tues
day. perhaps longer.
The State Supreme Court ad-
journed Friday without having
acted upon j. L. Hogue's appeal.
Hogue seeks to unseat Slack and
seat himself.
The court will hold no sessions
next week. 1t will begin its last
two-week session of this term a
week from Tuesday. After that, the
court, according to custom, will ad-
journ until Oct. !.
is taken during the last session, the
court can call vacation session as
it did last August when E. S. Shu-
maker, superintendent of the Anti
Saloon League, was sentanced for
contempt.
Steve, Shumaker Up
The Shumaker case and the D. c.
Stephenson murder case appeal also
might be decided in the closing days
of the term.
Although under sentence, Shu-
maker has been free for almost
year.
Even should the Supreme Court
decide the Hogue suit in the next
three weeks, the matter would not
necessarily be settled there.
If the court found for Hogue, the
case would be remanded to Circuit
Court for trial. Either party might
find error in the new trial and ap-
peal to Supeme Court again.
Contest SIack'S Seat
Slack became mayor Nov. 8, 1927.
Hogue and Ira M. Holmes, heir Of
the mantle Of John M. Duvall, de-
posed mayor, Immediately contested

Shumaker's case first got to Su-
preme Court, March 10, 1925, wheit
Attorney General Arthur L. Gil
liom charged Shumaker's 1925 an
nual report was in contempt. Last
August the court found Shumaker
guilty and fined him $3.50 and sem
fenced him to sixty days on Indiana
State Farm.
No Move ON Dry Chief
While he was preparing to take
this to a higher court it was dis
closed that Shumaker had had con-
versations with United States Sen
ators James e. Watson and Arthur
r. Robinson, which were interpreted
by the attorney general as being
efforts to get them to try to influ-
ence the Supreme Court and there-
fore in further contempt. Gl11iom
asked that Shumaker's sentence be
increased.
A hearing was held last fall and
the case was fully briefed Dec. IA
1927. There has been no move in
the case since then.
