Special to Times Republican.
Dubuque. Oct 27-Paul Schutzer,
the man in the case" was the prin-
cipal witness yesterday in the myster-
ious Geary acid case, which is on trial
in district court here. The case is that
in which Miss Carrie Hagerty Is
charged with being the mysterious
woman in black who visited the home
of Miss Ella Geary, 21-year-old steno-
grapher. on the night of April 3. 1915,
and threw acid in the latter's face,
which burned her frightfully before
medical aid could be summoned.
Schutzer proved n good witness for
the state, disclosing the jealousy Of
Miss Haserty toward the victim of the
assault. Schutzer, who is Hungarian.
is about 81 years old and made a good
appearance on the stand. Efforts Of
counsel for the defense to confuse him
were fruitless during cross-eNamina-
ton, while the direct examination re-
vealed that he had kept company with
both girls at the same time, aithoush
favoring Miss Geary.
schutzer declared he met the de-
PENDANT in August, 1872. when she, IN
company of others Of a camping party
had asked him for the use OF his hre-
place to prepare a meal in the open.
The witness said he had lost his pipe
in the camp and that he offered box
Of candy as a reward for It's return.
Miss Hagerty, he said, found the pipe
and shortly after he returned to the
city he received a note from her re-
m!nding him Of his promise He gave
the candy, he testified, and called on
her several times later.
The witness also testified that Miss
Hagerty has asked him whether he
would be mad at a girl who had be-
come dishgured If he was in love with
her" This conversation is said to
have taken place while the two were
out buggy riding, and during the time
that Schutzer was keeping company
with Miss Gentry He then testified
that Miss Hagerty had talked about
Miss Geary declaring she (Miss Geary)
was too young for him and mot good
not the right kind Of girl" She
always insisted that + quit going with

In replying to a question. Schutzer
declared he quit going with Miss Hag-
erty shortly after the night of April.
9. when the attack occurred.
Schutzer was followed on the wit
ness stand by Miss Ella Geary, the
victim of the mysterious assault The
latter remained on the stand until
court adjourned for the day.
She testified that besides giving her
several presents, Schutzer was in the
habit of taking her to the theaters
several times week. A kodak and a
pair of KID gloves were among the
presents, she said.
She then told in detail regarding the
attack and the incidents preceding

Chicago, Oct. 27.-Corn-The range
in corn was narrow, the greater part
Of it being covered in a very irregular
opening A heavier tone, however,
was noticeable despite the fact that
weather conditions are not ideal for
maturing and hauling new corn. High
test corn that cannot possibly be kept,
and which can be sold at fabulous
prices as compared with any within
the knowledge Of the present day
farmers, will come to market as fast
as physically possible. It will take
constant buying support 10 hold the
market under present restricted con-
ditions and in the face of the well
known opposition OF the government
authorities.
Oats-A further increase in the
movement of oats and the absence Of
any urgent export or domestic demand
caused liquidation of long holdings in
both Of the active deliveries. The cash
market was easier and country offer
ings were on the increase. The trade
in generalNis gratified by the action Of
the food administration in handling
wheat and oats through the regular
channels and disseminating the CEN
tralization Of business in one company.
Larger receipts will check advancing
tendencies

ule; Hurley Confident.

Washington, Oct 27.-With q view
to speeding up the governments great
steel shipbuilding program, now adj
mittedly about twenty ships behind

poration, called upon every steel ship
builder on the Atlantic coast last night
to meet in Washington Monday with
representatives of the fleet corporation,
the department of labor, the American
Federation Of Labor, and the navy de-
partment.
The principal question to be dis
cussed is that Of labor and an effort
will be made to outline some plan to
attract men to the shipyards, which
need about 100000 more workmen to
carry thru the work undertaken and
projected.
Many other questions will be dis
cussed and Chairman Hurley of the
shipping board said he regarded the
conference as involving more impor-
tant possibilities than any other meet
ing Of builders held since the ship
ping board was created.
Chairman Hurley said every angle Of
the trade would be discussed and that
the conference would have very inn
portant bearing on the progress Of the
work to be done for the government.
W i,iir Ii the Building Building program now IL

way discouraged.
Discussing the reorganization Of the
administrative personnel of the Emer-
gency Fleet corporation. Chairman
Hurley said Rear Admiral Capps had
being doing mans job in protecting
the governments interests" ana In
addition handling me cunt OF

BEAR DRIVE PROVES
OF SHORT DURATION
Market Receivers Most Of Losses When
Reports of Rainy Weather Relieves
Selling Pressure-Oats Governed b.
Action in Corn - Provisions Higher
Because of Scanty Hog Receiptc.

Chicago, Oct. 27.-Heavy selling led
change caused a sharp break in corn
prices today, but the bearish drive was
not long continued and the market re-
covered most Of the losses. 4 renewal
of rainy weather did a good deal to
prevent selling pressure having last
ing effect. The December option show
ed much wider fluctuations than the
other months. Opening figures, which
ranged from 2I2 cents down TO y cent
advance with December at l.l61e to
11Sls al May at Lips to l.134. were
followed by a setback all around and
than a general rally that in some cases
went above yesterdays finish.
The undertone was not as strong as
Of late and commission selling led TO
another break, but weekend evening
up of trades acted subsequently as an
Offset in the main. Prices closed I'M
settled at the same as yesterdays fin
ish to :. cent lower with December at
lisa to I.1Sas and May at l.l27s.
Oats.
Oats We're governed by the action
OF corn. The same concerns that sold
corn took the bear side in oats.
Provisions.
Provisions averaged higher owing
to continued scantiness OF hog receipts.
At the outset, however, pork broke
severely, influenced by the transient
break in corn.
Realizing sales by holders wiped
out the gains and left the market in
the same at virtually the same level as
at the opening.

Chicago, Oct 27.-Hog prices hard
ened today owing to arrivals being less
numerous than had been expected.
Twenty of the talent" made guesses
for next Mondays hog run, which
ranged from $4,000 to $4,000 and the
average figured $4,000, against os'-
2S1 the actual run year ago that day.
For all OF next week the average or
the marks was $4,000 and a year ago
the official run totaled 2SS,264.
While Chicago had 200 less hogs
Friday than a week ago, Kansas City
with 1000 was only half as large as
week ago. and Omaha with $500 COM
pared the same way. Total at eleven
markets today was $4,000, or $4,000 less
than a week ago, $4,000 less than a
year ago, and 1000 less than two years
ago.
Five days this week these markets
have received $4,000, or $4,000 less
than a week ago. 2o9,000 less than
year ago and 10000 more than cores
ponding period two years ago.
Cattle.
Most of the cattle that came in were
consigned direct to killers.
Prices at the close this week were
50c@s1.00 higher, bulk showing loc9
100 advance and there were even
some instances where transactions
were quoted more than a dollar higher
than the low time late last week. The
advance this week was sharp and
general, lighter receipts giving the
market a chance to recover, While

The advance this week is expected
to cause a freer movement of cattle
for the market next Monday and the
week, and the trade believed that il
cars are available a good sized run
will be on offer at the start Of the
week.
Local receipts at 5000 Friday were
nearly twice as large as a week ago
and compared with only 1929 a year
ago, and 1896 two years ago. Re-
ceipts for the first five days Of the

Chicago, Oct. 27.-During the week
May corn advanced from $1.0SA to
s1.l44 on the ! cent upturn in Decem-
Der corn to s1.21 because Of wet wealth
er. which delays husking. No. corn
meanwhile climbed from s1.95 to s2.12.
Probably 100 TO lao cars Of new corn
have arrived al western markets this
week, but they have met a scarcity de-
mand. The winter car situation sus-
gests conditions that will hamper
free heavy corn movement. Northern
corn belt reports suggest frost damage
exceeds former estimates. Food price
control gossip shows an attempt to de-
wise some means Of controlling live
stock prices. Economy attitude Of the
United States IS the most formidable
factor in suggesting lengthy corn and
oats bulres will not be maintained and
two-eded conditions must be expected.
