66 points and showed net advances
of 67 to 77 points during the early

29.35 or within 35 points of the high
record for the season. There was
heavy realizing but it was absorbed
by a broadening general demand and
the market held within a few points
of the best during the early trading.
There were numerous reports of
damage to the crop in Texas and
Oklahoma accompanied by 7 claims
that shippers short of cotton for Oc
tober shipment -were finding increas
ed difficulty in securing their re
quirements.
Brokers with Liverpool and con
tinental trade connections were
among the active buyers on the ad
vance which carried December con
tracts up to 29.48 before noon or 90
points net higher. Other months
showed net advances of 73 to 80
points and while there was a good
deal of realizing it was absorbed
on comparatively slight reactions
Business was very active during the
entire morning but the market was
a little quieter after mid-day.
Trading was quieter during the
afternoon, but ther ewas no im
provement in the crop or weather
news from the southwest and prices
held steady within 10 to 15 points
of the best. December ruled around
29.30 at 2 o’clock or 72 points net

THE ATLANTA TRI-WEEKLY JOURNAL
GRAIN
BY GEORGE C. SCHNACKEL
(Leased Wire Service to Tile Journal.)
(Copyright, 1923.)
CHICAGO, Oct. 15. The wheat
market totjay was uninteresting, and
price changes were of little im
portance. A little selling by houses
known to be committed to long
side encourage pit traders to sell
short at* the start. The offerings
were absorbed by eastern houses on
the dip, and this scared early sellers
into covering. On the rally which
followed offerings increased, and the
market moved up and down within
a small fractional range during the
remainder of the season. The news
was mixed. President Hibben’s dec
laration that Germany was solvent
and able to pay reparations affected
the market, but this was nullified by
a cable to the effect that German
children would starve this winter un
less financial aid is extended with
which to buy food from the outside.
Export business overnight was re
ported at only 100,000 bushels. Mill
ing demand was quiet. Primary re
ceipts were heavy and in excess of
last year. Visible supply increased
1,504,000 bushels last week. Minne
apolis reported the arrival of five
cars of Canadian wheat there today.
Wheat closed ’4 cent lower: December,
$1.08% 61 1.08; May, $1.12%6iL12%@1.12;
July. $1.09%.
Corn was weak at the start, and
then rallied. There was pressure at
the start partly from longs. The
dip developed buying for eastern ac
count, and locals also took hold be
cause of the strength in cash corn,
which was up 2 to 3 cents. A car
of new No. 5 white corn testing 21.40
moisture sold at 96 cents. Receipts
were of good volume, but offerings
to arrive from the country were nil.
Shipping demand was quiet. Visible
supply decreased 502,000 bushels.
Corn closed unchanged to % cent higher;
Docember. 76’4@76%; Mar, 74’/>@74%:
July. 75% @ 75%. ”
Oats,were easy in tone under hedg
ing pressure. Shippers bought on
the break. Visible supply increased
1,517,000 bushels.
Oats were unchanged to % lower. De
cember. 43; May. 45%(</45’4 : July. 44%.
Provisions were firm on buying,
credited to eastern account based on
the strength in cotton seed/oil.
Lard dosed 10 to 12% cents liigher and
ribs unchanged to 2% cents higher.

NEWS BUREAU ON STOCKS
NEW YORK, Oct. 15.—A- great mass of
traders after Saturday's close continued
almost universally committed to the bear
side and advanced various reasons why
stocks should be sold short, predicting
further declines in (he general list. Many
' others, however, were positive that state
ments in regard to industrial recessions
have been exaggerated and that at the same
time an oversold condition has been created
in the stock market.
Much guessing about showing that will
be made for third quarter by United States

’Cotton Market Opinions
Munds & Winslow: We believe that cotton

ing at this level on long cotton, with the
idea of replacing at a lower level.
,1. S. Bache & Co.: We continue to think
that cotton bought on substantial declines
will yield very comfortable profits.
Stephen M. Weld & Co.: It may well be
that for some time .we shall remain in a
scalping range, with purchases on good
breaks preferable to sales on bulges.
Hubbard Bros.: If frosts should occur over
the week-end. a higher market can be ex
pected next week.

1 TO 1 TIE GAME
Georgia Tech and Florida met Sat
urday in the feature game of south
ern football and battled to a 7 to 7
tie. The ’Gators outplayed the Yel
low Jackets by a wide margin in the
first half, but the tables were turned
in the second part. With the Flor
idians slowed down by the gruelling
battle, Coach Alexander sent in his
fresh pony backfield and they proved
too fast for the visitors. Both teams
battled with great determination anil
the score represents truly the merit
of the play.
Yale annihilated the University of
Georgia at New Haven; score 40 to 0.
Th e southerners were suffering
from stage fright and allowed Yale
to run up 23 points in the first pe
riod. After this they steadied and
actually outplayed their more fa
mous opponent in the second period.
Finally they tired and Yale added 17
points more. Georgia’s backs rushed
the ball nearly as/far as Yale’s, but
fumbles and poor covering of kicks
proved fatal. Joe Bennett, Georgia
leader, played th e best game on the
field.
Vanderbilt lost to Michigan at Ann
Arbor by 3 to 0, and had the big
western team, worried all through
the game.
The Colonels from Centre struck
their stdie after two poor games and
defeated Clemson impressively by ; a
28 to 7 score.

By Out-Talking Negro
Bent on Robbing It
! SHREVEPORT, La., Oct. 15.
i Tames F. Walters, cashier of the
First State Bank of Belcher, seven
teen miles north of Shreveport, pre
vented the robbery of the bank ear
ly today because of his quick wit.
> Walters was awakened in his home
and discovered a negro “covering”
him with a pistol. The negro order
ed him to get up and go open the
bank. y
“There’s a time clock on it and
it can’t be opened before 9 o'clock
in the morning,” Walters replied.
“Well, you’d better try, anyway,”
the would-be robber said. After fur
ther parley the negro gave it up as
t a bad job and departed.
Ed Smith, former convict, is un
der axrest as a suspect.
stociFmarket opinions'
Houseman & Co.: The tobacco issues may
respond a bit to the split up in Liggett-
Myers. We are Inclined to think that the
liquidation in Southern Railway has about
spent itself.
Pynchon & Co.: We would buy no more
stocks except for day-to-day trading pur
poses.
Payne & Webber: It should be prfoitable
to take constructive position, as the next
important change promises to be in the
direction of higher prices.
J. S. Bache & Co.: We believe that we
see strong indications of an advance in
storks which could get under way before
Monday's dose and continue the better part
,of toext week. _
GREENVILLE POLICE CHIEF, ’
LARGEST IN THE NATION,
RETIRES FROM SERVICE
Chief Noe, Weighing 335
Pounds, Has Thrilling Ex
periences While Police
Head for Nineteen Years
GREENVILLE. S. C., Oct. 13.
Following nineteen years of service
Janies D. Noe, famed as the largest
chief of police in the world, has be
come a private citizen.
From jailer to private on the po
lice department and on to the rank
of chief and back again to that of
sergeant, this native of upper Green
ville county has served “The Textile
Center of the South.” Nineteen
years years ago a young man then
thirty-two years of age left his cot
ton picking basket in the field neai
O’Neal’s to become county jailer oi
Greenville. Today he left the city
hall as a private citizen, not to take
up thd cotton, lap and basket but, as
he expressed it “looking for any work
that is honorable.”
Problably no public official in
South Carolina has been as well
known because of his unique appear
ance as was Sergeant Noe. Towering
far above the ordinary men and
women encountered in life, he weigh
ed 335 pounds and at times tipped
the scales as high as 340. His appear
ance, to say nothing of his person
ality, made him a figure easily rec
ognized and seldom if ever forgotten
by those who came to Greenville.
Men and women from Glassy
Mountain to ’Possum Kingdom who
have- stopped in Greenville from days
of the horse and buggy to that of
the automobile have known him.
Tradition has it on one occasion a
woman asked him to watch her horse
and hold the baby for a minute or
so while she stepped into a store.
And tradition does not say that Ser
geant Noe refused her.
The hair of the retiring officer
has grown gray and much of the
elasticity of step possessed when ne
invaded Greenville nineteen years
ago has gone. The smile which it
is said niost large persons possess,
and certainly true in his case, still
hovers on his face. Nineteen year*
of city life, battling with friend and
foe, have not eradicated that smile.
Has Unusual Career
Thrilling and spectacular incidents
have been as numerous in Sergeant
Noe’s life almost as the sands on the
beach. His closest escape from death
whs when his throat was cut by a
negro, the instrument lacking but
a fraction of an inch of severing the
jugular vein.
That wound, the scar of which he
still bears and will carry with him
until death, was received in plead
ing for another. Begging for an
other and forgetting self, he was an
easy victim for one who sought to
do hiin harm.
Sergeant Noe and a number of
companions attempted to arrest a
negro woman on a charge of selling
whisky. The woman, said to have
been frantic from drink and possibly
from some form of "dope,” bit one
of the officers who struck her. Ser
geant Noe interposed in the wom
an’s behalf.
“Don’t hit her any more,” he said.
"There are three of us here and she
can be carried down without being
beaten up.”
So saying he stooped down over
the woman when her husband,' ran
up and made a wicked cut across the
throat. Seven years of imprison
ment imposed on Herd did not heal
the wound or eradicate the scar
which the knife had made.
Stopped Wild Horse
Another incident when his thought
was for others rather than of him
self was recalled Tuesday' by oldei
residents of Greenville. A run-away
horse, plunging wildly, down Main
street, headed towards a woman and
small girl. They appeared certain
lining knocked down as they were
in the path of the approaching horse
and wagon. Spectators shuddered as
they helplessly watched.
But they Shuddered too soon. Ser
geant Noe, with a speed surprising
for one of his size, grasped the horse
and dragged it down. The woman
and girl, but a few feet away, were
frightened, but unharmed.
Sergeant Noe clung to the' horse
until the wagon was unloosed and
the frightened animal was led away
with no damage being done to anv
one.
Prevented Escapes
The retiring officer first came into
prominence when he, single-handed,
stopped an attempted jail delivery
and held four prisoners. Fastening
these inside the place he pursued
another. Although one made his es
cape and has, it is said,/never been
apprehended.
Sergeant Noe has gotten his last
shoeshine, in all probability, at the
place provided for the officers in the
police station. He humorously asked
of the “boys.” his recent comrades,
how.much time was allowed a man
to S’ o to v’ork. He doesn’t know just
what line he will engage in but savs
he expects to remain in Greenville
where some of the best years of his
life have been spent in serving the
public.

YANKEES’ HEAVY HITTING
WINS GAME ON SUNDAY
NEW YORK. Oct. 14.—Sweeping
forward with irresistible power on
the high tide of triumph, the New
Y’ork Yankees battered the world’s
champion Giants into subjection to
day for the second successive time
and took a formidable lead of three
games to two in the 1923 struggle
for diamond supremacy.
Baffled at every turn by the mar
velous, almost flawless mound work
of “Bullet Joe” Bush, reeling under
the terrific force of the Yankee bom
bardment, the Giants were sub-,
merged by a score of 8 to 1, put to
a rout as complete as it was devas
tating.
CASEY STENGEL AGAIN HERO

NEW YORK, Oct. 12.—Casey Sten- j

the third game.

yielding seven hits, the latter only
four. But one of the four proved
fatal.

TIES I P THE SERIES
NEW YORK’, Oct. 13.—The Yan
kees had on their batting clothes to
day and made life miserable for four
pitchers, winning by the score of
8 to 4. The Yankees fell on old John
Scott in the second inning and drove
him. out of the box. Ryan, who took
his- place, was unable to stem the
tide till a total of six runs had been
scored.
Shawkey, who had pitched airtight
ball, became careless in the eighth
inning and filled the bases with two
out. Pennock then was sent in cold
and retired the side.

your soul peeps out of your 'eyes,
there’s a chance Herr Ernest Lin

The Viennese artist has come to
the United States seeking the fif
teen most beautiful American wom
en.
■'They are undoubtedly the best
dressed in the world,” he said, ‘‘but ;
I must say frankly—l hope without j
offense —that the majority are beau
fulful painted dolls. I believe I shall
have trouble finding fifteen women
whose souls peep out of their eyes
and whose faces are eloquent of ■
their temperament.”

California Forest
Fires Under Control
Os Volunteer Squads,
PASADENA, Cal., Oct. 14.—A
forest and brush fire which for a
time today threatened four or five
communities in this section, was
brought under control in the gorge
of Sycamore canyon early tonight.
Earlier reports of damage were
found to be exaggerated. Only one
large partially completed home on
Verduge Knoll and half a dozen
j small houses were destroyed, al
though the flames, fanned by a high
wind swept over several thousand
acres in a few hours.
The fire started on the outskirts
of Montrose and for a time threaten
ed to wipe out that town, as well as
! La Crescenta and La Canada.
, Hundreds of men, many conscript
ed, were thrown into the line estab
lished in Sycamore canyon to battle
the blaze and late in the afternoon
as the breeze died down a number
of* trees in the fire’s path were
dynamited.
