Writes to Grand Jury.
Shonts was under fire today for
recommendations which he made in
a circular addressed to the district at
torney and to individual members OF
the grand jury, urging that the grand
jury, which is understood 10 nave re-
turned five or six secret indictments
for violence in the strike, indtct labor
leaders for conspiracy District Az
torney Swan announced that Shonts
action invalidated any action that the
present grand jury might take, and
that he would have to call another II
probe into the strike is continued.
s'If any law has been violated" AS
sistant District Attorney Dooling said,
''the district attorney will proceed
against the offender just as vigorously
as he would against the humblest
stone-thrower who has offended our
ing the strike"
While the general walkout is some
DAYS off and many believe the investi-
CATION of the transit strike to be open
ed Tuesday by the state board Of con-
Citation and arbitration will prevent
it, New York was facing more serious
transportation difficulties today in

fore night if demands they have pre-
sented to the company, which operates

attempt to tie UP the lines there. The
rumor that such an attempt was to be
made was current for several days.
Police Commissioner Woods today is
sued an order to captains to enroll

willing to do strike duty.

secured by postmasters under the new
national defense act, the war depart.
ment announced today, have been
paid to Postmasters William J. O'Don-
ley. Utica. Okla, and Joseph NJ Sit
man, Greensburg. La.
War department officials frankly
described the new recruiting system
as the last gasp of volunteer enlist
ments.' They pointed out that in Civ
ing a SIS premium to postmasters for
each recruit the government made
supreme effort to obtain its soldiers
without resorting to compulsory train
ing. They predicted should the plan
fail and a sufficient number of re-
cruits to fill the enlarged regular
army not be obtained it will become
necessary to adopt universal training
or some system of cntnnnlsorv service

GRAIN TREND UP
Various Influences Give Market
Prices a Boost.
Dry Weather Threatens Argen-
tine Wheat Crop.

Chicago. Sept. 23-Need of rain in
Argentina has made itself acutely felt
as bullish influence in the wheat
market during the last week. Largely
in consequence, the grain showed
gains of ~ cents to 8 Is cents net.
Attention of wheat traders, which a
week ago had centered to consider
able degree on the question as to
whether Rumania would not bring
about a speedy opening of the OAR
danelles was gradually turned away
from that subject as the military
situation in the Balkans became more
and more complex and as the opinion
grew prevalent that even If the straits
at Constantinople were cleared such a
result would be attained 100 late to
allow any heavy shipments from Rus
STA this season.
Interest suddenly developed in the
Argentina crop outlook when likeli-
hood of active competition from Ar
gentina took concrete form in an
nouncements that cargoes from that
country had been purchased at New
York and that other cargoes were Of
fered cheap, with vessel rates on the
down grade. Reports from Argentina,
however, acted as a handicap on the
wheat bears until non Thursday, it
seemed that rains had fallen just in
the nick of time,
Rain Insufficient.
Advices yesterday, nevertheless,
changed the outlook completely. The
truth appeared to be that altho Some
copious rains had fallen in Argentina
they were confined to the south and
west provinces, whereas the serious
lack of moisture was in the north
Aggressive buying on the part of lead
ing spectators here followed and for
eigners seemed also to have become
more anxious about supplies, as yes
terdayS exports transactions aggre-
gated a notably liberal amount, 1900
600 bushels. Frost damage reports
hardened the status of corn to a mod
crate extent and also tended to lift
oats. Provisions this morning were
almost precisely at the same level as a
week ago.
