CHICAGO, Feb. THE central
portion of the United States was
threatened today by a new cold
wave, sweeping eastward from the
Rocky Mountain regions.
Government weather bureaus pre-
dicted the brief respite from zero
temperatures which the middle west
has enjoyed for several days would

cold wave would overspread most
of the middle west, with extreme
cold extending southwark into Kan
sas and eastward across Iowa and
Wisconsin.
Heavy SHOWS, approaching biz
zard proportions, were forecast for
the northwest.
Montana, Idaho and Colorado,
North Dakota and Kansas already
were in the grip of the cold wave
which was carried over the Rockies
on high winds. The temperature
dropped to % degrees below zero
at Hayre, Mont, while Miles City,
Mont, reported IA below and Bill

The extreme cold in Colorado was
responsible, weather officials said,
for the appearance of "sun dogs IN
the eastern sky. Denver residents
reported seeing two mock suns, one
purple and the other red.
Utah was swept by an icy gale
and all trunk highways were blocked
by snow. An eastbound airmail

NEW YORK, Feb. 7.-Control OF
81 per cent of the proxies of stock
of the Standard Oil Company of In
diana to be voted in the fight
against Colonel Robert w Stewart
for domination of that company
was claimed today by the Rookie
feller interests here.
Winthrop w. Aldrich, member
with John D. Rockefeller Jr. and
William Roberts of the committee
to secure proxies for the Rookie

ment.
This was the first positive victory
claim from either camps in the fight
raging over Stewards efforts to re-
tain Craftsmanship of the Standard
Oil Company of Indiana.
1t came while Stewart was busy
here with a. series of secret confer
ences with his attorneys.
The Rockefeller interests and the
Stewart group have been rounding
up proxies for several weeks. anc

The Rockefeller camp statement
was answered later by George K

that Aldrich can not be- sure oi
what they have" since there is nc
way of determining yet how many
proxies have been revoked.

No Peril to Gambling

By DHtCd Press
WASHINGTON. Feb. 7.-Exces-
sive speculation on the stock market
can not be curbed by action of the
federal reserve board alone and its
bearish statement is unlikely to
cause any marked recession, high
treasury official said today.
Large quantities Of the specula-
tive money now in the stock market
come from private lenders and,
therefore, are entirely outside the
control of the federal reserve system,
this official pointed out. For this
reason, he said, the reserve system
is powerless to check the speculative
wave which it condemned in its
statement.
From another source in the treas
ury department it was learned au-
thoritatively the reserve board
statement was issued without con-
sulting Secretary Mellon. Mellon,
it is said, was not advised Of the
boards action until shortly before
it was prepared for publication.
When the time is ripe the pres
ent speculation will recede Of its
own accord, but the market must
run its course" the high official said.
THE banks are not the chief in
1Iuence on the situation, and they
have no control over the extreme
large amounts of private money
which is in the market.
There is no cause now for slump
III the market and l do not look
for one he continued.

Mrs. Hammonds has been aG-
cused by Johnston leaders
of controlling the Governors Of
flee through political influence
and bribery, and it was against
her that the greater part of the
attack of the general legislative
investigating committee has been
directed. Therefore, it was be-
1ieved, public sentiment would
revert to the suspended executive
and influence the senate trial
court to sustain Johnston and re-
instate him as Governor.
Johnston will go on trial Mon
day on charges ranging from al
legged unlawful issuance of de-
ficiency certificates to general in
competency. He has little political
support in either house of the

Pour Millions of DoIlal : Into
Wall Street to Stem
Slump.
SALES AT ANY COST
Collapse Comes on Rise in
England Rate and Re-
serve Clamp.
BY ELMER C. WALLER
United Press Financial Editor

United Press financial Editor
NEW YORK, Feb. millions OF
dollars were poured into Wall
Street today to support a stock
market that crumpled under the
weight of a rise in the Bank Of
England rediscount rate and a
warning by the federal reserve board
on excessive loans.
On news of the federal reserve an
nouncement, prices collapsed. Sell
ing was aggravated by the Bank of
England'S new rediscount rate of 51ts
per cent.
The opening on the local Stock
Exchange saw one Of the worst de-
clineS in years.
Small holders of stocks literally
threw them into sale at any price.
Leaders like General Motors and
United States Steel opened on blocks
of 10000 shares and a long list
turned over at 10000 shares or more.
Later dealings quieted down.
Tickers Far Behind
Support was forthcoming in the
first fifteen minutes or so, but
tickers were so far behind that the
outsider could not discern this
change in trend on the tape.
Sales for the first two hours OF
trading totalled 2,594,30 shares,
against 1920 900 shares in the same
period Wednesday.
Today's trading in the first two
hours is at the rate of 6,485, ,750
shares for the full session.
Call money renewed at 6 per cent
and in early dealings the tone was
easier. That also helped restore
sentiment. Offsetting this, however.
was the federal reserve meeting due
after tlIaFclese today.
At that time the brokerage loan
account for the week ended Feb. 6
will be announced.
Some action is expected also on
the New York bank rate.
Unsettlement continued despite
the rising prices in some leading
issues, and pressure was felt in
many sections Of the list.
Word came from Washington that
there was little the federal reserve
could do to curb speculation.
THE reserve" it was said in we'll
informed quarters, can not refuse
to make loans so long as the secur-
ity offered is satisfactory"
Market Hesitant
The market, however, was l1esi-
tant. Public confidence had been
shaken and not few saw visions of
high call money due to the reserve
statement.
The extent of the price swings was
large. General Electric swept
through an arc of 13 points; United
States Steel, points; Radio, 6: AL
lied Chemical, 5; Warner Brothers,
Z; Victor, 5, holster, 4; Johns-NTan-
vile, 4; Westinghouse Electric. z;
Advance Ru1nely, 7; Canadian Pa
cif1c, 5. and Curtiss Aero, s.
It was considered encouraging
that the initial prices were in most
cases the lowest of the day. The
recovery carried many issues to
within touching distance of the pre-
vious close, although there appeared
no disposition to carry them further,
There were no net gains Of any i'm
portance.
