Wall Street Displays More
Cheerful Outlook Despite
IL Per Cent Money.
By GEORGE 7. HUGHES.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, April 2.--In the lightest
trading in three weeks, today's stock
market registered moderate and irregu-
lar improvement. At times the oils, the
most active group, were strong, but
most of the list made little progress.
The one thing that stood out was that
the urgent liquidation of yesterday was
over, for the present at least. Although
call money held at IL per cent all day,
the Street was in more cheerful MOOD.
Commercial Solvents was last-hour
feature, up Is points.
Net changes at the opening were
mixed. The losses, however, were small
and not on especially large blocks. Be-
fore trading had proceeded half hour
1t was evident that pressure on the list
had been lifted, temporarily at least.
This made plain, traders began tenta-
lively to buy stocks for both accounts.
Oils Are Leaders.
The oils were made the leaders for
two reasons. One was that they har-
bored no weak long account and the
other was genuine confidence in the
outlook for the industry, especially the
efforts to limit production, which 1t was

/. Money I'm Good Supply.
Call money renewed at IL per cent
and was in good supply at that price.
Some easing in the situation was pre-
dicted later in the week, but 1t was
hardly on this account that sentiment
was somewhat improved. The demon
stration the market had given in the
last hour Of trading yesterday was con-
sidered evidence of stronger technical
position and lacking any fresh state
ments, by political or by financial lead
ers, as to the necessity of credit contrac-
ton, the Street took heart.

OBLIGATION TO Dying.
NAN QUESTIONED IN
indian MURDER CASE
William LANCER, Bismarck At
torney, Will Defend Four
Fort Yates Indians
ARE HELD WITHOUT BONDS
Snow-Drifted Roads to Fort
Yates Makes Postponemsnt
Of Action Necessary

Whether one is or Is not obligated
by law to aid another who might be
in q dying condition Is question
which is certain to figure IN the case
of four Fort Yates Indians. charged
with first degree murder in connec-
ton with the death early In Febru-
ary Of Eugene Yellow Lodge, Porcu-
pine Greek Indian.
This statement was made today by
william LANCER, Bismarck attorney,
who has been retained as defense
counsel In the case.
Another question propounded by
the local attorney Is, who dragged
Yellow Lodge to the water hole?"
In Separate Cells
The four Indians will remain In
separate cells Of the Sioux county jail
without bail for about three weeks
before any court action Is taken In
their case.
George H. Drowley, Sioux county
states attorney who Is prosecuting
the defendants, is expected to appeal
to Attorney General Jim Norris tor
aid in the case, Langer said.
Morris, who Is Ill today, had no
statement to make as to hts plans.
Roads drifted with snow make 1t
almost impossible for attorneys to get
to Fort Yates, Sioux county seat. from
Bismarck. The roads between Can
non Ball and Fort Yates have four
or five feet Of snow on them, LANCER
said.
A preliminary hearing before David
Miller, Of the Sioux County State
Bank at Fort Yates, justice Of the
peace, will be held as soon as roads
permit traffic to the southern COM
munity, LANCER said.
A preliminary hearing, scheduled
for last Saturday. was postponed
when LANCER filed an affidavit Of
prejudice against Thomas A. Short,
Sr.. justice Of the peace, who was to
preside. Short was . member Of the
coroner's jury which implicated the
four men In the death Of the Indian
The arrested men are william
White Cloud, IS. John Loans Arrow
%, Henry Twin, 81. and Joe Running
Bear, %.
Men Admit Drinking
They admit they were drinking
with Yellow Lodge shortly before his
death. Yellow Lodge was found dead
Feb. 6 with his head frozen In q wa
ter hole in Porcupine Creek, Sioux
county. A coroner's inquest showed
that he had BEEN knocked down in
fight with companions and had beer
left lying on the Ice. Tracks In the
snow indicated that he had been
dragged about 40 feet to the water
hole, but the four Indians deny that
they dragged him there. They say
that Yellow 4 lodge was about 20 feet
from the water hole. when they left
him.

London, Feb. 1o.-(P-Flood terrors
replaced rigors Of bitter cold over .
large part Of Europe today. It was
feared that when the toll Of the In
undations, rail and prospective, was
complete, 1t would equal or surpass
that of the cold. For the Danube and
tributaries swelled over their banks
and forced many from their homes.
Melting snow and Ice caused disas-
trous floods In Macedonia and
Thracc. Bavarian rivers overflowed,
while rising temperatures in northern
Italy foreshadowed rapid swelling OF
rivers there.
Temperatures were less extreme
than they have been, but In many To-
calities, the thermometer had not
risen to above zero, or freezing, cent?
grade.
Advices from the Danube district,
where ice and snow have been piled
six feet thick over the surface Of the
river, indicated a worse situation, pos
sibly, there than elsewhere.
Havoc In Macedonia
Widespread havoc was reported
from Thrace and Macedonia where
the struma and other rivers over
flowed, sweeping away bridges and
hundreds Of cattle and flooding
homes. A number Of peasants we're
drowned. Part Of the city Of Cavalla
site Of an American tobacco depot
was submerged, while Heraclia was
transformed into q vast lake with in
habitants being fed by merchants
who piled their trade In boats. Jugo-
