Times Stan Correspondent

SOUTH BEND, Ind, Sept. 2S.--
While department of justice agents
today guarded important govern
ment witnesses in the federal grand
Jury probe of Lake county vice and
political corruption against bodily
injury and further intimidation, a
number of developments were re-
ported. Among them:
1. There Is no likelihood that
Senator James E. Watson, M. Burt
Thurman, Republican national
committeeman, and Federal Judge
Thomas w. Slick will be called be-
fore the grand jury relative to an
alleged conversation in Chicago
hotel last July concerning the in
vestigation.
2. Rumors of a senatorial investi-
cation into what occurred at that
conference we're stronger.
8. Judge Slick may disqualify him
self from hearing trials of those in
dicted.
4. Between $50 and 100 Lake
county persons probably will be
named in indictments returned by
the grand jury Oct. 5, charging con-
/ spiracy to violate the national pro-
hibition laws, the Harrison narcotic
act, and the Mann white slave act.
May Indict Mayor
5. Mayor Raleigh P. Hale and
Police Chief James Reagan of East
Chicago, now under arrest with 100
townsrnen for alleged conspiracy
against the prohibition statutes.
probably will be among those In
dicted.
s. The grand jury has the affida-
Wit of Nick Marovich, Lake county
racketeer, now in Ft. Leavenworth
prison for white slave law violations.
naming prohibition agents said to
have accepted bribes for protection.
Z. The grand jury probably has
been told that the county supported
the Republican ticket in the 1926
and 1928 elections in return for pro-
lection
8. That key witnesses in the pres
ent quiz have been intimidated.
g. That when the grand jury ad-
journs Oct 5, another will be
called to continue the investigation.

In Toledo, O., today, John g..
Pratt, assistant general,
and trouble shooter of the federal
legal forces, is studying a summary
of evidence heretofore presented to

pected to tell United States District

ADVANCE IN STOCK
MARKET CONTINUES
Steel Again Assumes Leader.
ship-Coppers and UtiI-
tiles in Demand.
BY GEORGE T. HUGHES.

Special DISpdtCN 10 Inc Otdr.
NEW YORK, February 25.-Despite
run-up in call money to per cent
the highest since February 15-today's
stock market, under the leadership of
U. S. Steel, gave good account of it
self. Steel was bought aggressively all
day and the rest OF the list was strong
most of the time.
When money was first advanced from
the renewal rate of 6l2 per cent to Z
and then to there was a pause in
operations for the rise, but no SubStan-
tial reaction.
The turnover, while larger than on
any day last week, was still of moder-
ate proportions Steel made its best
price in the last hour. Advance Rune
ly was strong toward the end. The
market left off around its best. The
opening was higher all around.
U. S. Steel was the leader, as it had
been on Thursday. The opening sale
was 10000 shares at 1876. up 3
points from the preceding close. From
this point it advanced without inter
mediate reaction above 1873, where it
was less than 5 points from its record
high. Then profit taking appeared
and the stock reacted some 3 points,
but was still we'll supported.
Other Stocks Advance.
The story about steel was that the
corporation planned to retire part of
its funded Indebtedness, thereby in
creasing profits available for dividends.
Bethlehem Steel went along with the
leader but much more modestly.
Speculative interest centered about
| Anaconda and various favorite in
dustrials. Anaconda at 1877 was higher
than the stock ever sold before. Allied
Chemical and General Electric were
outstandingly strong. Lambert made a
new high and so did Crosley Radio.
Other stocks in demand included
American Bosch Magnetic and Kreuger
and Toll.
An exception to the general trend
was American e. Foreign Power. Open
ing lower it developed acute weakness.
Below lis it was off more than 10
points and had erased all of the adj
vance of last week. The selling prob
ably was nothing more than the nor
NAL realizing after the long upward
movement and the announcement of
the terms of the new financing.
Railroad stocks were quietly firm in
the earlier trading but came off some
what later when the industrials re-
acted. For the most part traders in
rails were waiting the decision of the
Supreme Court in the O'Fallon case
Baltimore & Ohio was we'll bought
above 125, up almost 5 points from the
low of last week.
