ed Saturday in the Circuit
Court of Baltimore County by
Bernard AIDES.
AIDES with David Levinson
and Enrol White, volunteer
counsel for the Labor Defense

petit jury was in part drawn
was not properly drawn.

of the States Attorney in his
opening arguments to the jury
were prejudicial.

tion of the laws.
No date has as yet been set

Former Justice Noted for
Liberal Stand, Keeping
Docket Clear.

Keeping the supreme court docket
clear and deciding cases in a liberal
manner with relation to the times
as we'll as traditions of the bench
are the outstanding features of the
career of Charles E. Cox on the high
bench, his hackers asserted today in
a statement to the press.
Former Judge Cox now is a can
didate for the supreme court Justice
ship nomination on The Democratic
ticket.
With the late Judge Douglas
Morris he was elected to the SUI
preme bench when the court was
far behind in its decisions and
widespread complaint was heard of
the reactioniSm of the court in cases
which were decided. This applied
particularly to such decisions as the
Factory Act and other such RENE
dial legislation.
Through the influences of these
two justices the opinions thereafter
took on, instead of static, a pro-
gressive tone, it is pointed out.
During his term he wrote many
of the most important opinions in
volving public policy and the well
fare of the state, it is said.
Among them were the Sunday
baseball case, Marshall Constitution
case, and the Technical institute
case. The latter gave the school
city of Indianapolis, as trustee in
perpetuity for technical school pur-
poses, the seventy-Six acres now oc-
cupied by the Arsenal Technical
high school.

WHEAT AND RYE

Lack of Export Demand Is

BY HAROLD E. RAINYILLE
United Press STAFF Correspondent

CHICAGO, June 1S.-All deliv-
cries of wheat and rye set new low
levels for the season on the Board
of Trade today, but the decline was
not extended, due to weekend
evening up and short covering.
There was no rallying power in
evidence and news had little effect.
sentiment is decidedly mixed.
Weakness at Liverpool, where IL
quotation was on, was a depressing
factor. Lack of an export demand
and the small difference between
Chicago and the English market are
diScouraging.
Corn was active and higher on
reports of a better shipping de-
mand. with sales of 10000 bushels
and lack of pressure. Oats was
supported by the firmness in corn.
At the close wheat was l. TO TX

Mrs. Scranton then led the jack

ming the second spade in her own

This picked up all the opponents
trumps. Mrs. Scranton then took
three rounds of hearts, winning the
last heart in the dummy.
East showed out on the second
heart and Mrs. Scranton now made
use of a very nice safety play-she
led the jack of diamonds from dunn
my.
She could have ruffed this card
in her own hand if she had wished,
but instead she discarded her losing
four of clubs. East was forced to
win the trick with the queen.
If he led diamond, Mrs. Scran-
ton would trump in dummy with
the queen of spades and discard the
queen of clubs, while if he led a
club, it would be right into Mrs.
Scranton's ace-queen.
Discarding a loser on loser so
as to throw the right hand into the
lead, allowed Mrs. Scranton to make
her small slam contract.

NEW YORK, June 18.-Aside
from s-Roebuck and Auburn
Automobile, the stock market today
was dull and undressing, with
price movements mixed.
Sears-Roebuck, however, dropped
to new low for the present shares
at 10A, off 81, on omission of the
dividend, a surprise to the Street.
Auburn Auto, after touching g.,
broke to 551a, where it was off 81
points net. 1t rallied some from
the low. In the previous session
the issue was forced down Ga
points from its recent high of IT'S
reached at the expense of a short
interest forced to cover by tactics
which appeared similar to bull ma
nipulation.
Oils Hold Well
Steel common, American Can and
Woolworth moved within an arc of
z point. Such issues as American
Telephone, American Tobacco B,
Case, Westinghouse Electric and
Consolidated Gas did not swing far
outside of a point range.
Changes in price of the railroad
and utility shares were of little sig
nificance. Oils held fairly we'll on
gasoline price increases. Tobac-
cos showed some signs of resistance
in the face of a wide drop in
cigaret production for May report
ed Friday.
Principal among the items Of
market Importance was the decisive
defeat of the bonus measure by the
senate late Friday night. The bill
now is dead SO far as this congress
is concerned.
No aid was forthcoming from
commodity markets for the stock
list, and the American dollar slipped
back on a technical recovery of for
eign currencies. Bonds were mixed
and dull, while wheat eased to new
lows for the season and cotton flu
lures gave up a few points.
Values Advance
Charles G. Dawes, retiring as
president of the Reconstruction
Finance Corporation, reiterated his
recent statement the country has
reached the turning point" in the
depression. Dawes based his pre-
diction on the general improvement
in small business enterprises of the
country.
According to preliminary calcula-
ton, the Dow, Jones 81 Co. indus
trial average stood at Ass, I'M
changed; rail average at 1892, I'M
changed, and the utility average at
1925, up IA point.

pared with 500, $3.50 shares last Sat-
