ASK FOR AID IN
HAITI ELECTION
Borno Opposition Leaders
Recall u. S. Promise.

BIZ UHitod Press
PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti, Dec.
16-Seven leaders of the opposition
to the administration of President
Louis Borno have forwarded to
President Hoover a direct appeal Tor
authorization by the American high
commissioner of popular election
in Haiti next April
E The seven signers of the petition
claim to have the support of 100000
residents of the island, including
many of the educated class.
The letter reminded President
Hoover of the United States obi
cations under the 1916 treaty of oc-
eupation and expressed confidence
in the good will of the American
government. Fear that President
Borno'S retirement will mean moth
ing more than the appointment of
a 8orno follower by the council of
state is the basis of the plea for the
election.
The word supervised" was not
mentioned in the appeal because of
the indecision ON the part of one or
two of the signatories as to the
wishes of their varius constituent
cies, although all agreed they would
welcome any general election.
Senator Hendrix Shipstead of
Minnesota spent several hours here
Sunday, landing and leaving on the
steamer Cristobal. His presence
caused considerable excitement
among opponents of President Borno
until it was explained Shipstead
merely was making a trip for his
health.

GRAIN FUTURES
OPEN HIGHER IN
CHICAGO MART
Foreign Demand Expected
to Improve, First of
Next Year.
BIZ United Press

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, Dec. Is. - Wheat
opened sharply higher on the Board
of Trade today under the stimulus
of a strong Liverpool market and a
firm Buenos Aires opening Liver
pool cables that the strength there
is due to disappointing Argentine
cables on the crop and a better in
quiry from the continent for hard
winters, which caused short cover
ing. Corn and oats leaped upward
with wheat.
AT the opening wheat was q to
IL cents higher, corn was i to *
cents higher, and oats was up 4 TO
rs cents. Provisions opened Slight
ly weaker.
Liverpool was Slightly higher than
expected at its opening and gained
almost cents to stand at g to *
cent higher around noon. Buenos
Aires was unchanged to II cent
higher at the opening. Sentiment
continues bearish owing to the dis
appointing action Of wheat last
WCSh dLlO Gl1G 11lO1AlSIS llCS VI 4O1 SSAl
buyers.
Traders now do not expect the
foreign demand to improve until
after the first of the year, and by
Feb. Is, the new Argentine wheat
will be upon the market.
The corn movement has not been
as large as expected, but arrivals
will probably increase from now on
as the good weather and the ac-
ton in wheat makes it iuadvisable
to continue to hold. The east has
been a good buyer of cash corn and
the open interest in the nearby
month is large.
Scattered liquidation in oats is
due to the disappointed long hold
ers who have tired of waiting. in
the face of a depressed wheat out
look. Cash interests are taking De-
cember and selling the deferred de-
livery.

Former Policy Holders in
Federal Auto Company
Bring Action.

Litigation to remove Carrot w.
Olds, attorney, as receiver of the de-
funct Federal Automobile Insurance
Association, designed to affect more
than 100000 former polcyholders in
the company, has been started in
superior court four, it was learned
today.
In form of an intervening petit
ton, the suit was brought by a
group of former policyholders and
Charles E. Smith, former agent of
the bankrupt company, and would
halt collection of assessments of an
additional premium, and would re-
quire an accounting by the receiver
of all assets taken over by him.
Olds was appointed receiver of
the company by former Superior
Judge Byron K. Elliott, Feb. 2, 1928,
after receivership action was
brought by Fac w. Patrick in behalf
of the former treasurer of the Fed
eral association.
Later, Judge Elliott authorized
Olds to collect assessments from
policyholders, and to date. hundreds
of the subscribers have settled with
Olds in amount of their assess
ment.
Charles E. Smith, a plaintiff in
the intervening petition, last spring
was cited to appear before Judge
Elliott to show cause why he, Roy
E. and William Smith, also plain
tiffs. and members of the Smith
Brothers Insurance Agency, should
not be cited for contempt of court.
They admitted sending letters to
$500 Marion county policy holder
advising them TO ignore Judge Ell

NEW YORK, Dec. 16-Stocks de-
veloped substantial rallying power
at the start of the new week under
the leadership of the railroad and
motor shares after the list went
through another period of correction
in the first hour of trading.
Bearish professionals, who had
succeeded in hammering leaders
down from one to two points in the
early trading, became discouraged
around noon and covered short con-
tracts in fairly heavy volume.
This short covering movement
stimulated strong buying and early
losses we're generally recovered be-
fore noon. Price movements, how
ever were somewhat cratic and
de- were quiet, tickers keep
ing ayreast of the market during
the inst two hours.
.Cyi activity was resumed in the
Chicago Great Western issues,
which moved up substantially;
Radio, Columbia Graphophone and
other issues which have recently
led The advance in the general list.
Radio. which was forced down 9
points in the carly trading, quickly
recovered its loss and was turned
over in large blocks around its pre-
vious closing level United States
Steel. however, continued under
press urc, holding more than a point
unGer its previous closing level.
General Electric and Westinghouse
were also cratic and failed TO make
heaGWGy on the upside.
Important buying came into both
the CopperS and Motors Anaconda
and KennecOtt was Whirled forward
on a heavy turnover. while General
Motors. Hudson, Studebaker and

ments.
Shortly afterward, Elliott retired
from the bench and was succeeded
by William S. McMasters, who dis
missed the action against the
Smiths, acting on motion of their
attorneys.
