GRAND JURY MAY GET
MORE GRAFT EVIDENCE
Rumors Persist That Men Higher
Up Are Likely to Be
Reached.

When the grand jury reassembles
Monday morning further testimony in
the police graft investigation may be
laid before it. No witnesses were heard
either today or yesterday, although S.
McComas Hawken, the assistant United
States attorney in charge of the case,
has been diligently examining wit
nesses in the hope Of finding several
connecting links.
In spite of Official denials that men
higher up are involved in the in
formation on which the United States
attorneys office is working. there is
persistent rumor that Mr.. Hawken is
working on corroboratiye evidence
which involves officers above the rank
of private.
Woman's Visits Start Rumors.
One Of the witnesses who has been a
visitor at the courthouse for two days
is the wife Of a man who is known to
have conducted a poolroom where
gambling was a regular thing. Her
husband was a close friend of former
Detective Kleindienst, which has given
rise to the impression that there will
be more evidence along the line OF
protection to gamblers.
Maj. Pullman is anxious to have the
investigation come to an end as quickly
as possible without overlooking any pos
sible testimony. The suspense and agita-
ton caused by the secret investigation in
the District attorneys Office is having
demoralizing influence upon the force.
Wants to Publish Facts.
Maj. Pullman wants to have the facts
before the public as soon as they properly
can be placed there, in order to relieve
the honest portion of the police force.
which, he says, is far the larger portion,
from suspicion.
Raymond o. Kleindienst, who was in
dicted Thursday on charges of extortion,
compromising felony and misprision of a
felony, will appear in court Monday and
furnish bond in Criminal Court. No. 1, be-
fore Justice Gould. This was arranged
today between United States Attorney
Laskey and Kleindienst's lawyers, former
Justice Wright and T. Morris Wampler.

the First Train on K. & D.

ing Gard Today.
GOOD SHOPPING TRAIN
keokuk Merchants Are Feeling Result
Of This New Time Table
In Increased
Business.

The first train on the Keokuk anil
Des Moines railroad, running under
new schedule, arrived In Keokuk this
morning at IL o'clock, on time. The
train carried an unusually large num-
Der of passengers and most of the
people were coming to Keokuk to
shop. One OF the men on the train
who came from Bentonsport, said
that the people in his community were
coming to Keokuk to shop, and that
where railroad fare was the same,
keokuk was going to get a good share
OF the trade because of the fine quail
ity OF goods offered at fair prices.
Others who came in on the train to
shop, said that the new schedule was
meeting with approval all over the
line between here and Ottumwa, and
especially among the people Of Farm
ington. Keosauqua, and Bonaparte,
because it would give nearly six hours
in Keokuk, which was ample time for
any shopping. Under the old schedule
only two hours was allowed. People
didn't feel that they could come to
Keokuk and remain all night, anothe
passenger said, but the new schedule
would give sufficient time to purchasa
goods here and to return home early.
When asked by one of the mer-
chants how the plan of only one train
a day to Des Moines would work out,
one of the passengers declared that
one train day to the capital was suf-
f1cient and he was sure that people
would support tt.e new schedule.

Wheat-Favorable weather and
large receipts gave the wheat market
an easy tone at the start. Cash
wheat was in good demand and q
smaller increase in the visible than
was expected, brought a sharp rally
and closed the market at an advance.
Strong cash wheat at Winnipeg and
Duluth had strong effect on our
market. Despite the large receipts
at Winnipeg, exporters were today
bidding the market up in order to OBJ
tain prompt shipment. Indications
are for a smaller movement in north
west and for an increase in the south
west. Millers are liberal buyers in
all markets. Exports at all seaboard
points aggregated more than any 9th
or week in the history Of the trade.
However a large portion Of this was
Manitoba wheat, market closing
strong at good advances.
Corn-Reports of liberal export de-
mands gave corn rally after open
ing slightly lower in sympathy with
wheat. The local trade was good.
Local receipts were only 95; clear
ances were light, cash prices being
unchanged to a higher. In today's
receipts were several cars of new
corn Of exceptionally good quality.
Exporters seem to be securing their
supplies from other markets than
Chicago. A good trading market is
expected such as has existed for sew
eral weeks past
Oats-Were supported by other

NEW YORk. Nov. 1.-The diversion
of speculative interest and activity
from the war industrials' to the
standard railroad shares, which began
when last weeks break in the indus
trials was at it's worst. assumed inter
esting shape today. The war shares
declined again, some Of them very
heavily: but at the same moment the
railway shares were advancing. under
active trading. The market, In fact,
was divided sharply into two sections,
which seemed to have nothing to do
with one another and to be subject to
wholly different influences.
The movement Of the railway shares
was under the stimulus Of some re-
markable earnings statements.
There has at no time since the
summer. been any reasonable doubt
that the transportation Of enormous
war material and of the quite unpre-
cedented grain crops would in due
course give the railways an overflow
ing business.
