FINDS NO EVIDENCE OF
PLOT TO BOOST PRICES
NewYork trictAttorney Says
Facts Do Not Warrant
Criminal Action.

New York, Aug. 25--The federal i'll
quiry into the higher cost OF food since
the war began in Europe has not de-
veloped that the increases were I'M
warranted, according to Roger Il.
Wood, United States assistant district
attorney, in charge of the investiSa-
tjOn.
mo evidence of conspiracies to force
up the price Of food has been disclosed
which would warrant criminal action,
Mr.. Wood said today. Generally
speaking, there has been no unusual
rise in the price of foodstuffs.
Il will admit that the timeliness OF
our inquiry might have arrested a gen
eral upward movement OF prices due
to the greed of retailers and whole
salers.

tendent of the local bureau of investi-
cation of the department of justice,
expects to make his complete report

salers said prices fuctuated with sup
ply and demand and denied there was
an understanding among packers to
raise prices. Retailers placed the
blame on wholesalers.

Washington, Aug. 24.-The federal
treasury has collected total OF $685.
627,619.27 in revenues during the fiscal
year ended June 80, according to the
report of Commissioners OF Internal
Revenue Osborn. This figure is rec.
ord breaker and shows collections to
have increased $35, 1894 over the
same period of 1913.
( This increase is attributed to the In
come tax and it Is confidently predict
ed that the next report twelve months
hence will be more than double. The
income tax was not levied for the full
twelve months. Collections from cor
porations and individuals totaled ST..
31,274, the remainder Of the revenue
being derived from excise collections.
There was falling on in collections
on fermented liquors TO the amount Of

LARIMER IS HURT
Undersherif In Hospital with
Internal Injuries.
Machine Turned Turtle, Pin
ming Hin Underneath.

Undershetiff Hugh Larimer sus-
tanned serious internal injuries when
his automobile turned t4rtle 1t TWanv
ty-fourth street and Topeka avenue
near the Country club at 1O:3of1tclANlE
t1fts morning. E8rfmefs was placid ua
the Operating table at Stofmou& hos-
pital and an examination made by Dr8
~. r. Ernest and DR.. l. H. Num- Their
opinion is favorable to his recovery.
Larimer was pinned under his car.
While no Iones were broken he was
unconscious and the physicians state
his injuries include q rupture of the
liver. His chance for recovery is be-
lieved good.
Larfmer's car turned over as he was
attempting to avoid a collision with
two farm wagons on a sloping road
direction directly ahead of him. As he
attempted to pass 1t he came face to
face with another which it is believed
he had not seen.
The accident happened when he
tried to run between them. The ma
chine he was driving is an old Ford
car which the undersheriff purchased
about two weeks ago, and he was re-
turning to the city from a search for q
stolen horse.
A message telling Of Larimer's accf-
dent has been sent to Sheriff L. L.
Kiene. who has been absent on a vaca-
ton trip to Colorado. where his family
is spending the summer. He is expected
home at once to take charge Of the
office from which it is expected Lari-
mer will be absent for several weeks.

GROWING HOTTER?
Real July Heat Normal Is More
Mild Than This.
Last Few Years Have Been
Ones of Extreme Weather.

Is the weather in Kansas becoming
hotter? That's a question that may
well be asked in view of the records
for the last few seasons.
Really normal July weather in Kan
sassts almoSt the summer resort brand
OF atmospheric conditions. according to
Sunny" Flora. the local weather OBJ
server. But it has been so long since
there has been a normal July that the
people have begun to think that this
month is always one of intense heat
and greatly to be dreaded.
This makes the sixth consecutive
July at Topeka with temperature above
normal, the records show. The last
four Augusts as well have been alb
normally hot. Practically all the rec
ord breaking July temperatures since
the local records were first kept, twen-
ty-eight years ago, have been in the
last thirteen years. Most Of the ex-
tremes were in these years: 1901. when
there were eighteen consecutive days
on which the temperature was one
hundred degrees or more: 1910. 1911,
and 1913.
This month will rank as the third
hottest July on record unless there is
a marked drop in temperature in the
next twenty-fOur hours. July of 1901
and 1913 were hotter. There have been
few extremes in temperature this
month but the average has been high
nearly three degrees above normal.
The temperature Of every month
since last October has been above nor
NAL with the one exception Of Febru-
ary.

Samuel G.. Blythe Tells OF
Kansas Conditions.
Wheat, Corn, Oats and States
men, He Says.
POLITICAL OUTLOOK 4 PUZZLE
Senatorial and GubernatOrial
Contests Mixed.
Must Hodges Beat Capper or
Allen2

The political situation in Kansas is
puzzling and mystifying-even to
Samuel G. Blythe, political observer
for the Saturday Evening Post. In q
three-page story in the Post this week,
under the caption "A Humdinger in
Kansas" Blythe tells Of bumper crops
Of wheat. corn. oats and statesmen.
Discussing the output Of United
States senatorial candidates and the
political alignments in the state after
the 1912 split in the Republican par
ty, Blythe says in part:
after that ction the Progressives
made no attempt to continue as regu.
lar Republicans.
Thus far things were reasonably
clear. Curtis, standpat Republican,;
Bristow. Progressive Republican,; and
Murdock, Progressive without any Re-
publican qualification in his title
were out for the nomination.
Whereupon the Democrats took great
cheer, and six hopeful representatives
of that party jumped in-one after the
other, as the boys take headers into q
swimming hole. They figured that, with
Curtis. Bristow and Murdock dividing
the opposition. and two of the three
sure to run after the primaries-for
Murdock is unopposed in the Progress
sive party and either Curtis or Bristow
will be the Republican nominee-the
Democrat who won in the primaries,
because Of his split in the usual oppo-
sition. would have a fine chance to get
the election in November.
Ordinarily Kansas has looked on .
Democratic aspirant for the United
States senate as an amiable but mis-
guided person who was long on hope
but exceedingly short on judgment.
However, this same sort Of split and
the action Of the aggrieved standpat-
ters allowed Senator Thompson to slip
in two years ago; and the wonder IL,
after that occurrence. that there are
not sixty candidates for the Democratic
nomination instead Of the six who were
out for 1t at the time I was there.
The Political Alignments.
Also It makes it hard for Curtis. for,
II Curtis does win, many OF the men
who will stick to Bristow in the pri-
tQsE4cF Kill not vote for Curtis. and will

tow wins there are a lot Of standpaf-

gan excitedly hopping about.
All that was required to reach the
81 basis for cash wheat was the first
boom of q 1-ussian gun, itswas de-
clared by traders.
Wheat opened with September as
up, December 3 u up. Flax again was
the conspicuous feature. 1t began 1
cent up. but quickly sold on 1 cent,
and then BEGAN to rise again.
Chicago Market Collapses.
Chicago, July 30.-After sensa-
tional advance today on account of the
imminence of Russia and Germany
entering the --ustro-Servian war, the
wheat market here closed almost in a
state of collapse. Seemingly complete
paralysis of export demands was re-
sponsible for the weakness Of prices at
the close, when values were down 8
cents a bushel, from earlier high
figures.
The rise in war risks on the ocean
making shipment Improbable seemed
to be what put a stop to buying on
foreign account. Jumps in price at
one time today were fully 9 cents, and
almost as much as when Austria first
declared war.
Cotton Is Demoralized.
New York, July 3O.-The cotton
market was demoralized today. In
the heaviest selling movement that
has yet developed prices crashed from
81 to $3.50 a bale below previous
finals.
Wheat Climbs I'm St Louis.
st. Louis. July 3O.-Wheat jumped
slightly more than seven cents a bushel
over yesterdays closing, in a few min
utes after the opening Of the St. Louis
merchants exchange today. September
opened at 81 cents. which was six cents
