Curb Market BT WILXXAV O. HE1TK&NAM. tCooyrisM. lent BY WILLIAM F. HEFFEBNAN. Wall Street, New York, Dec. 11. Stocks on the curb exchange hesi tated in their upward movement to day and the market started the week with prices inclined towards slightly lower elevels. Business was active for the first half session, but in the afternoon trading quieted down with price changes confined to narrow limits. Dealings for the most part were of a professional character and it was evident that the market lacked out side support. The 7 per cent accumulative pre ferred stock of Johns &'Laughlin Steel corporation was admitted to trading with sales between 107 n and 108. The present $14,000,000 stock of $100 par value is a part of ft $60,000,000 issue. It was offered for public subscription at 107 to yield about 6 per cent. The books were closed shortly after the be ginning of business and it was re ported that the offerings had been three times over subscribed. It was announced that a special meeting of stockholders oft the Humble Oil company bad been call ed for Dec 18 to vote upon ft divi dend of 60 fo 80 per cent In stock and to reduce the par value of the shares from $100 to $25, but this had no effect upon the stock, v The price movement of Standard Oils was of little importance. New England Fuel Oil was driv en down close to 60 while Cities Service .common continued to be actively sold. - Simrns Petroleum remained the active leader of the independent owe, reaching a new high for the year. in the. early. trad ing, but subsequently reacting. , Chicago Potatoes.

DEMOCRATIC RANKS FACE PARTY SPLIT (Continued from First Page.) namely a combination ot Palmer and- McAdoo men were ' sufficient to control the last Democratic con vention when the platform was under discussion. And the Demo cratic nominee, James M. Cox, promptly went to see Mr. Wilson and won his endorsement So that that Wilson view may still b(j said to be predominant in the Democrat ic party. Prohibition Plays Part. Now here, comes the most import ant question of all prohibition. The former president knows what a part It plays in American .poli tics and probably agrees with Pres ident Harding's receat statement , in his address to congress that the ; matter has by no means been cast V out of politics but is playing a vital part in local elections. Mr. W tlson, it will be recalled, vetoed the bill which would have extended war time prohibition after the armis tice but the drys were able to pass it in congress over his veto. He was bitterly assailed for this by the "dry" organizations. His record on the prohibition question has not been what the "drys" would like. He started out in New Jer- sey by insisting that it was a moral . and not a political 1 question and declared for,lo:al option. He agreed to war-time i prohibition or rather the making of 2.75 beer chiefly be cause of the need for conserving the ingredients which were used in the manufacture t beer. And when the San Francisco convention of the Democratic party session, there is a well-defined story that Mr.Wils. On sent a beer plank to tHat city despite - Mr. Bryan's known attitude on prohibition and despite the feeling of so many Dem ocrats that the issue had better be ignored in the platform altogether. The plank was never offered - on Mr. Wilson's behalf. Wilson Believed "Wet," Since those days, Mr. Wilson has been silent ' because of his illness and such letters as he has written to friends have touched generally! on international affairs. But it will be recalled that Mr. Wilson was one ot the first to send a message of congratulations to Governor Edwards of New Jersey on his elec tion as United States senator on a wet platform. Mr. Wilson also con gratulated Governor Al Smith of New York. Although there is nothing tangi ble to indicate that Mr. Wilson would commend a platform of light wine and beer to his colleagues in the Democratic party. It is much more likely that he will lean to ward tfcat side than toward the dry end ot the controversy. Mr. Hard ing has committed himself and his party to the maintenance of thel Volstead act. Mr. Wilson never I favored that act and is free to ad- vocate its repeal or modification. Programs Merely Tentative.

Part of the con tents was saved for evidence. Oth er bottles and flasks, with slight amounts of liquor in them were located about the bar and in the rear of ' the property. Baker, It waa said, was to be arrested today. Joseph Aerts' place at 1101 Thir teenth street proved to be a com bination saloon and disorderly house. Two women were arrested there, and it is expected that Aerts may be held fof operating a house of ill-fame In addition to the charge of selling liquor. He also tried to dump the bottle of liquor which waa back of the bar. but a littlo was left in the bottle. His wife, upstairs eer the barroom, appar ently obeyed his shouted directions to get rid of the "stuff," for no li quors, but a strong liquor odor, were found in the search, of the second floor. ' Aerts was -entertaining a member of the East Moline police force at the' bar when the raiders walked in. Though somewhat nonplussed when the sheriff started, to ' read the search warrant, the officer watcn-) ed the ransacking of the place and the leading away of Aerts without j comment I Two Get Rid of Hooch. Two other places were . entered. They were those of Joseph Wheel ock, 1122 Thirteenth street, and 'he Morgan hotel, conducted by Charles Larkin, 906 Fifteenth avesue. Though the prohibition agent had received good tips that these places had been retailing prohibition in toxicants, none was found. At the Morgan hotel there was every evi dence of a hurried dumping party, as wet whisky glasses and empty but moist jugs were much in evi dence. Wheelock had disposed ol his booze more efficiently and not even any strong traces were found, were found. Search warrants signed by Judge G. O. Dietz, county court, were read to those in charge of the var ious places. That these raids, encouraged by the new sheriff and worked up by Joseph Prendergast, federal prohi bition agent, are getting under the skin of the moonshine merchants of East Moline is attested by a well founded report yesterday. It relat ed that a committee pf Belgians of East Moline had recently called upon Mayor Johnson and informed him that the frequent raiding must stop "or there will be trouble." When told about this last night Prenderga"st remarked to Deputy Sheriff Louis Kolls. "That will make us. work all the harder on them, won't it, Kolls?" Mrs. Timmermann Fined. Mrs. Meacbie Timmermann. 13?..': Eighth avenue, East Moline, will be j compelled to serve 60 days in the county jail and to pay a fine of $300 because she did not learn well enough her first lesson at the hands of officers who caught her man a- facturing liquor, Less than a year ago Mrs. Tim mermann's residence on a farm was raided by officers and there sae was found to hae a large distilling capacity and a great quantity of intoxicating liquor on hand. She wept as she pleaded for her chil dren, whom she said she was try ing to support. She appeared more hardened to the game this morning when she was arraigned before Judge George D. Long in county court, but she indicated that she hated to go to jail. Arraigned with her was her son, Adrian Timmermann. This was his first offense, and Assistant State's Attorney B. L. Eagle and Joe Pren dergast, prohibition agent, recom mended that he be admitted to pro- bation. The order probably will be made by Judge Long this afternoon. The Timmermann residence was raided in East Moline Thursday night. AU Plead Sot Guilty.
