THE BEE: OMAHA, FRIDAY, DECEMBER 20, 1918. STECHER QUITS NAVY; RETURNS TO DODGE FARM Former Wrestling Champ is Bigger and Stronger Than Ever; Will Return to Mat Game. Joe Stecher, former world's wrest ling champion, who has not set foot on Cornhusker soil for the last five months, arrived Thursday morning en robte to his home in Dodge. Neb. Stecher enlisted in the navy five months ago and was immediately assigned to the Great Lakes naval training station, where he was as signed as instructor in wrestling. Here it was his duty to help keep up the physical condition of the thousands of western men who were assigned to that camp. "I never felt better in my life than I do right now." said Stecher. "There was plenty of work to do and we were kept busy all the time. Work agrees with men and I feel as fit as a riddle." Stecher has received his discharge from the navy and will return to his former occupation of farmer and wrestler. He looks bigger and stronger than ever before and says he weighs over 210 stripped.

SKI INNER PACKING JPMPANY POULTRY , . , I si SI lis 1116-1118 Doudlos St. i Tel -Douglas 1521 COAL INDUSTRY WILL REMAIN ON PRESENT BASIS Stanley Houck of Minneapolis Addresses Nebraska Deal ers; Says Closer Organ ization Necessary. Nebraska retail coal dealers will continue to work under the zone system which has regulated the coal trade in Nebraska and other sectors of the United States during the war. The state association yesterday while in session here learned there would be no change in the regula tions which have been in operation until some time next spring or sum mer. This means that the restriction barring anthracite coal from Ne braska will still remain in force and that present prices and quali ties of bituminous coal will con tinue to prevail during the season. Other topics taken up for dis cussion were of interest only to the coal dealers, and had to do mainly with such subjects as car seivice,i demurrage, operating ex penses, etc. Stanley B. Houck of Minneapolis, iuterstatr council for the north traffic and service bureau, in his addresses, pointed out the necessity for a closer organization of the re tail coal dealers in order that they may be able to co-operate effectively with whatever body may assume jurisdiction of the future coal rade. He said that the coal indus try will in al! probability never go back to the old basis of operation, but will, without doubt, in the fu ture be subject to some form of fed en! administration. Among other things discussed by Mr. Houck were raliroad claims and the railroads' position at the pres ent time covering payment thereof.

Chicago Grain and Provisions. Chicago, Dec. 19. Prospects that a squeeze night be -(countered in filling contracts for nearby deliveries had a strongthenening effect today on December and January corn, but later months were inclined to sag. The close was unsettled, January $1.36 to $1.36, and May $1.34 to $1.35. with the market as a whole c off to c up compared with yesterday's finish. Oats lost c to c. The outcome in provisions was unchanged to 35c lower. Bulls In corn put emphasis on the fact that stocks of corn here amounted to vir tually nothing. In this connection it was pointed out that country roads In many sections were In bad shape as a result of bad weather, and that farmers' deliveries were restricted. Besides, temperatures were unseasonably high, a circumstance which counted against any heavy move ment of the crop during the near future. On the other hand predicted rains were not in evidence, and bears took due no tice that it had again became permissible to carry grain in store for an unlimited period. Slowness of export call and of domestic shipping sales tended to depress oats. Continued excessive marketing of hogs had a weakening influence on provisions. Despite big shipments of lard and meats, buyers were extra cautious. Cash quotations: Corn No. 2 yellow, $1.65; No. 3 yellow, nominal; No. 4 yel low. $1.4301.44.

Trading In securi ties during the greater part of today's session was dull to the point of stagna tion, the stock market Itself most often overshadowed by persistent liquidation of Liberty bonds. This condition experienced a sudden transformation In the final hour, when heavy selling of high shares, notably rails, swept over the stock market, effecting extreme reversals of 2 to 4 points. The outpouring of transportation Issues was unaccompanied by any explanation other than a statement Issued by Director General McAdoo which again emphasized the possibility of extending federal control over the railroads to five years. Transactions In Liberty bonds attained snoromus proportions, the fourth 4 4a con tributing more than their usual quota at the new low record 14.72. This represents a depreciation of about 3 per cent from their Initial quotation on the stock ex change. Various theories were advance in explanation of the further break In the government's latest war flotation, these bearing mainly on the cash requirements of corporations and Institutions early In the coming year. This theory lacked plausibility, however, ss call loans were plentiful at 4 to 4 4 per cent and long time funds were freely offered at 6 per cent, a slight reduction from the ruling rate of the past month. Among leading stocks United States Steel made a better showing than other Industrials and equipments, forfeiting only a largo fraction. Traction bond Issues were heavy with Liberty bonds, but the International group held steady. Total sales (par value) ag gregated, $20,500,000. Old United States bonds unchanged on call.

The cost ot the great shipbuilding plant at Hog Island was esiiinated today at $63, 300,000 by Charles Piez, general manager of the shipbuilding board's Emergency Fleet corporation. He said, at the senate inquiry, that th yard, which has delivered one ship and has 50 keels laid, should be com pleted in 60 days. The minimum fees to be paid tha American International corporation for construction of 180 ships, costing $256,000,000, Mr. Piez testified, will amount to about $8,910,000. In view of increased expenses, he said, tha fees will amount to only slightly more than 2 per cent on the cost ol production. "Does the Emergency Fleet cor, poration propose to go on building ships at the present cost?" asked Senator Harding. "We have not been instructed otherwise. It would be an expensive operation to quit now." Would you go on if it was your private enterprise," Senator Harding asked. "I believe I would," When the witness said the approx-, iniate cost of these ships would bb about $225 per ton, Senator Harding declared this was two or three times what other countries are paying. Mr. Piez said England now pays artmifr $1dft n ini mnA th- Emergency Fleet corporation had been contracting for cargo ships at about $190 a ton, the cost depending on the type of ship.
