STOCKS FALL ONE
TO THREE POINTS
Speculative Leaders Decline
Under Light Offerings on the
New York Exchange
POLITICS AFFECTING PRICES
London Market Shows Weak and
Irregular, Especially in
Copper and Rubber
AFFECTING PRICES
ASSOCIATED Press)

NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-Stocks
worked slowly and surely downward
today on a very large volume of busi-
ness, the closing being in most cases
the lowest of the day.
Weakness was again most conspicu-
Gus in the speculative leaders, the Har-
rimans, Reading, st. Paul, United
States Steel, Northern Pacific, Anal
gamated Copper and American Smelt-
ing all declining from 1 to 8 on very
light offerings.
The political situation, which has
been the foremost factor recently.
showed no change today. Wall street
believes that the present tension in
the Republican party of this state will
be satisfactorily settled before long,
but is less sanguine at the outcome in
the nation.
London markets moved today with
much of last weeks irregularity, with
weakness in the copper stocks and
further dstrust of conditions in the
raw rubber trade.
The days general news developments
were negative for the most part, aside
from the unusually large receipts of
foodstuffs at Chicago from western
points where traffic agents from the
leading lines were anticipating an in
crease of general business in the fall.
Eastern roads running from midwest
ern points reported falling off in ton
mage, shipments of flour and grain be-
ing considerably lower than in the
corresponding week last year.
Bonds We're heavy. Total sales, par
value $1.165,000. United States gov
ernments 3s advanced u per cent on
call.

ANSWERS QUESTIONS TO
WIN $4,000 ESTATE
Lost Son Replies Correctly to
Identification Queries

TECUMSEH, Neb, Aug. 22.-"Upon
the testimony of the witnesses here
this afternoon and the petitioner
answering almost correctly the ques-
tions left by his father, Scotch John
Wilson, I hereby grant the prayer of
the petitioner and give him the $4,000
estate of his father"
This was the decision read by James
Livingston, county judge of Johnson
county yesterday afternoon after
thirty minutes deliberation and COM
parison of questions and answers.
John Wilson Immediately began cry
ing.
Il would rather have seen my
mother" he said, than to take this
money"
The nephews We're satisfied with the
judges decision and there will not be
an appeal.
Wilson, who was driven from home
by his father thirty-siX years ago, per-
sonally conducted his case.
Thirty-six years ago John Wilson, jr.,
was kicked from the home of his
father, twelve miles northwest of here,
and told never to darken the door OF
the home again. This was after Will
son had been graduated from an Iowa
law school and wanted to practice law.
His father wanted him to stay on the
farm. He came to Tecumseh and rode
away with circus train. He was never
seen or heard of again by his parents.
His father in after years repented his
actions and tried to find his son.
Failing in this effort, he left ten ques-
tions to be answered by any claimant
who might appear and say he was the
missing boy If the claimant answered
the questions he got the money.
Before taking the stand to answer
the questions, Wilson introduced hf-
teen witnesses to identify him as the
long-lost boy. After these testified he
took the stand

Los Angeles
CHICAGO, Aug 22.-Whle statistical news
today was extremely depressing and foreign
markets weak, there nevertheless was a rea-
sonably firm tone in wheat, which a little
better than held its own Lighter fecelptS
in the southwest, q bulge in corn market
early, better reports from the southwestern
flour trade and a little strength at Winni-
peg made the best prices of the day. Con-
siderable wheat came on sale from lntlueh-
tial sources, largely elevator and cash gram
concerns who mainly sold December, put
bought more OF. less September Toledo clalmea
export sale of 10000 bushels to France, but
seaboard said bids not workable. There was
interests that would buy more up or down.
and while on the face Of it there seems
little to buy it on, we are inclined 10 thlhk
purchases on a scale down of May Will prove
profitable
Corn dipped at the outset and rallied on
and were influenced more or less by the Of
fcIal forecast of cooler weather Then sold
off again after shorts were satisfied. Ihefe
was selling by cash houses on the bulges
and also fair speculative selling, parity by
belated longs. Weather fine for the growing
crop. but shipping call was limited and cash
prices in sample market were one-fourth to
one-half cent lower. -
oats were under the pressure of the big
CROP cash offerings free and values tlhaliy
turned rather weak. Cash oats held their
own but receivers sold futures in the pit
Provisions opened sharply higher with shorts
and stock yards traders leading the buying
Considerable October property was on sale at
reasonable figures today, despite the strength
that developed in other months
