planation was given by the train
crew for the change from the ca
boose. It was 7 a. m., and the ther

Several of the men are threatened

weak this morning, packers were bidding
15&'25c or more below the low time yes
terday. The market on butcher stock
was also weak, sales being made a big
6c or more below yesterday's close. In !
tplte of lower prices packers did not ab
sorb the offerings very freely giving as
vneir reason a snortage oi refrigerator
cars. Prices for feeders held up better
than for beef and butcher stock, but trade
was not at ail active, best hinds were
steady, while thin kinds and stockers
sold weak to 10 16c lower. Western
grass steers were not In any great amount
and the market was very slow and draggy, j
values looking all the way from steady
to lower than yesterday.

Chicago Grain and Provisions.
Chicago, Dec. 16. Unusual strength In
the corn market today resulted largely
from anticipation of the passage of the
Edge foreign finance bin. ''r.ces closed
buoyant, l?c to 8Hc net higher, with
January $1.38H to $1.38, and May
?1.S47 to $1.35. Oats gained le to 354c
and provisions 60 cents to $1.60.
Bullish sentiment as to corn began to
rlevelop as soon as trading opened: At
first, the chief factor was the mcager
r.ess of receipts together with the prospect
that owing to preference given to coal on
the railroads, no increase 01 supplies
would be looked for in the immediate fu
ture. Higher quotations on hogs tended
further to lift prices, and so likewise did
an advance in sterling. Then came gos
sip that the enactment of the Edge bill
was assured. At once demand broadened
out, especially as it was announced that
the president would sign the bill without
delay and that export sales of wheat and
cats to France had already commenced.
Heavy buying on the part of houses
with seaboard connections made oats even
stronger than corn. Cash lots command
ed the best figures yet this season.
Provisions scored the steepest ascent
in some time. The causes wets the same
that gave impetus to grain.

New York, Dec. 16. Relaxed money
tates. further pronounced Improvement in
foreign exchange and favorable technical
conditions were the principal factors whicn
guided today's moderately active stock
market to materially higher quotations.
Banking Interests expressed satisfaction
at the completion of yesterday's enormous
tax payments and other heavy cash trans
ections without disturbance to the local
monetary situation. This was evident in
the lower rates for call loans, which
ruled at 7 per cent, with a fmal rate of 6.
Sterling or British remittances rose
about 12 cents to the pound over the re
ci.nt low records and discounts on France
and Italy also eased, dealers reporting a
marked reduction In o&erings of bills on
London and other foreifn centers.
Much of the day's advance was made
at the expense of the shorts, especially
in motors, oils, steels and equipments,
where extreme gains of 2 to 12 points
were recorded. There were indications in
quarters of the market of an oversold
condition.
Rails were the only Important stocks to
lag during the day. but that division came
forward in spirited fashion Just before the
close. Their strength was bssed on reports
that efforts to reconcile the differences
between the house and the senate re
garding transportation legislation were
likely to succeed. Sales amounted to
1,000,000 shares.
Gossip on the. exchange dealt with pros
pective dividend developments in several
active issues, particularly Mercantile Ma
rine and American Can, while the renewal
cf heavy exports of copper Infused mod
erate strength to metal issues.
Convertible or speculative railway bonds
were lower, with several of the high
grade industrials. Including United States
Steel 6s.
Several of the Liberty Issues also yielded
to further pressure, with nominal changes
in internationals. Total sales, par value,
aggregated $25,250,000. Old United States
tends were unchanged on call.

Need Another Juror
Before New May Be
Tried for Murder
Los Angeles, Dec. 16. Eleven
jtrors had been accepted tentatively
when adjournment was taken 'ate
today in the trial in the superior
court here of Harry New, alleged
son of Senator Harry S. New of In
diana, charged with the murder of
Miss rreda Lesser, lus sweetheart.
Two were women.
Judge Gavin JV. Craig indicated
he might order a night session to
morrow if greater speed was not
shown in examination of prospective
jurors,
Lecompte Davis, leading counsel
for New, made it clear the defense
offered would be insanity.
Thomas Lee Woolwine, district
attorney, who, with Deputy Asa
Kcyes, is prosecuting the case, an
nounced the state would not at
tempt to prove "New is an intel
lcctual giant,"but maintained he was
intelligent enough to be held re
sponsible for his acts. Many of his
questions were seemingly framed
with the idea of ascertaining whether
the talesman believed a man. of what
he termed "dull" mentality should
be punished if he committed a crime.
The name of Senator New was
mentioned early in tlje proceedings.
Mr. Woolwine asked talesmen if
they were acquainted with Senator
New or any of his relatives and said
he thought it possible testimony
might be introduced regarding al
leged circumstances of New's birth
and alleged relations of New's
mother, Mrs. Lillie M. Berger, with
Senator New, ,

"Herbert Spencer of the central
coal committee told Congressman
Jefferis that the jurisdiction of the
local coal committee extended only
to the use of coal and coke, because
those kinds of fuel only were men
tioned in the president's proclama
tion," declared Mr. Shanahan. Mr.
Spencer stated specifically that the
local coal committee did not have
authority to close theaters if coal
or coke were not used.
Other Cities Complied.
"In addition to that situation, a
positive order went to tKe Omaha
coal committee last Friday to allow
the theaters and picture shows to
reopen, and I Ainderstand that the
committee did not issue a general
opening order until Saturday after
noon. "After it was known that the Kan
sas City switchmen's strike had been
called off F, C. Wright, director of
freight traffic of the United States
railroad administration, authorized
reopening of all of the theaters in
the west, whereupon the amusement
places of Des Moines, Kansas City
and Minneapolis were immeditely
reopened, but Omaha remained
closed." v
Should Have Reopened Dec. 5.
A telegram received by The Bee

In this telegram Mr. Wright was

Omaha theaters and movies should
have been reopened not later than
Friday, December 5.

Vocational Training in -America
Under Fire
Washington, Dec, 16. Grievances'
of formtr service men against the
government's vocational training
methods were laid .before the Amer
ican Legion conference here today
by Cornelius Wickersham of New,
York, who demanded that "definite
and concrete action be taken to re
tieve the situation." ' ,
He submitted statements from men
now in training that thev were re

ularly, and in some cases not at al!.
as one of the reasons most of fie
men entitled to the training could
not take advantage of it.
Mr. Wickersham said the voca

service men, for in no other way
could the "evident iack. of ir-ierest
be overcome."
