New York, Sept. l7.-John c. Knox,
special assistant to the United States
attorney general, who has been in
charge of the case against the alleged
backmail gang arrested today in Chi
cago, said tonight:
THAT is fine haul. had been
expecting some arrests, but was not
hopeful that such bag would be
gathered. The gang operated all over
the country, from Palm Beach to Bos-
ton, and especially in New York and
Philadelphia.
Erwin and Butler are the real lead
ers of the gang, which generally oper-
ated as a unit Sometimes, however,
one or two would break away and
work on their own account. Their
success was very great and it was
difficult to get the victims to come
forward and make complaints.
Erwin comes originally from Wor-
cester, Mass, and Butler from Phila-
delphia,"

Nature Blamed by
Trade Board Men
For Raise in Bread

Chicago, Sept l7.--Cr,rges by
Commissioner Hatigan OF the New
York Bureau OF Weights and Measures
that price manipulation by Chicago
traders is responsible for soaring
wheat prices were characterized as
absurd today by prominent members
of the Chicago board of Trade.
The United States wheat crop is
400000,000 bushels short" said ]. P.
Griffin, president Of the board The
Canadian crop is 150,000000 short, and
the European crops are below the
average. The advance in wheat prices
is due to the law Of supply and de-
mand. and that only. 1t is absurd to
suggest that group of men could
even momentarily control so vast
commodity as wheat"

Early Agreement
On Mexican Problem
Not Thought Likely

New London, Conn, Sept. H.
Both American and Mexican mem
bers of the joint commission studying
international questions growing out
OF Mexico's revolution, we're confident
tonight that material progress to-
wards mutual understanding would
be made this week, but an early agree
ment upon a program for the main
tenance of order along the border was
considered improba Bile.
An effort probably will be made by
the Americans when the sessions re-
sumo tomorrow to confine the imme-
date discussions to subjects related
to Mexico's internal affairs. To ad-
wise on this subject and others touch
ing upon the status Of Americans in
Mexico, the American commissioners
have requested the presence of Con-
sellor Polk Of the State department.
