SWEDEN PROBES
tran SMISS|0N
OF DISPATCHES
Foreign Minister Lindman, in
Interview, Insists Matter Is
Regarded as Serious;
Practice Stopped.

Stockholm, Sept. 16.-Sweden real.
ICES the seriousness of the situation
created by the recent disclosures al
Washington regarding transmission of
German dispatches and expects to
take all steps possible to put matters
right, Foreign Minister Lindman said
today during an informal talk. All
transmission of German dispatches
had been stopped, he said, and Ger
many had been asked for an explana-
ftion of the abuse of the privilege for
merly extended.
In the course of his discussion oi
the affair with the correspondent Ad-
miral Lindman brought out the fol-
lowing points:
First-That the Swedish govern
ment was not, as alleged in certain
quarters, taking the affair lightly, but
on the contrary, realized fully the Sc
rious aspect of the situation and in
tended to do everything possible to
settle the problem.
Transmission Now Stopped.
Second--That transmission of dis
patches on behalf of Germany had
been stopped absolutely from the mo-
ment when the disclosures were
brought to the foreign minister's at
tention and would under no circum-
stances be resumed.
Third-That had the Swedish gov
ernment had the slightest idea of the
nature of the dispatches which the
German government was transmitting
the messages never would have been
transmitted. -
Fourth-That strong representa-
tions had been addressed to the Ger
man government on the abuse made
of this practice, accompanied by re-
quest for explanation, to which, how
ever, no reply had yet been received.
Admiral Lindman, during the entire
conversation, seemed inlbued with the
desire to see the situation cleared up
fully and completely on basis salts
factory to the United States and
Sweden and in way to permit the
continuance of the most friendly, cor
Nal relations with the American gov
eminent and people.
Deplore 7ituation.
The foreign minister said in the
course of the conversation, II want
to emphasize the fact that we are not
taking this matter easily. We deplore
most sincerely that practice which
was exei sised in absolutely good faith
has been sravely abused, and we are
determined that the condition which
led to this result shall be remedied."

TOO MUCH FLOUR
IN GOTHAM now:
BREAD PRICE CUT
Julius H. Barnes, President of
Food Administration Grain
Corporation, Says Condi-
tions Being Adjusted.
tBy Associated Press,

New York, Sept. l6.-New York no,
only is assured of an abundant -four
supply, but soon will face the prob
lem of how to take care of the sur.
plus which is being shipped from
western mills. according to a state
ment issued here tonight by julius III.
Barnes, president of the food admin
istration grain corporation.
Flour price is asserting itself rap
idly from the wheat price," the state
ment said, Showing reduction of -four
price generally throughout the coun-
try, and even in New York the bakery
trade is beginning, to adjust itself.
There are stores already selling a
twenty-ounce' loaf of bread for 10
cents, which is at the rate of 7 cents
for the ordinary loaf. ~
"The facts are that the primary
marketing of wheat is increasing
steadily; that mills are producing
greatly in excess of flour consump-
ton; that more flour is arriving every
day in New York than New York can
possibly consume; that such railroads
as the Frisco are beginning to report
scarcity of cars because of heavy
country movement of wheat and
-four; that the whole marketing move
rnent is now under way about three
weeks later than usual, partly because
of uncertainty as to what action con-
gress would finally take, which threw
the winter wheat machinery out of
gear, and partly because northwestern
farmers are preparing the ground for
next years crop instead of,rushing
wheat to market, being assured Of
steady price"

DURING THE week
States Attorneys in Villisca Ak
Murder Case to Try to Show
Statement Not Obtained
by Duress.
a BY EDWARD BLACK,
IStaff Correspondent for The Bee.)
Staff Correspondent for The Bee.

Red Oak, Ia. Sept. 16.-(Speciai
Telegram 1.-The Villisca ak murder
case will be resumed in district court
at 9 o'clock Monday morning, when
the prosecution will continue its evil
dence against Rev. Lyn G. J. Kelly.
Much interest has been aroused
over the confession which Attorney
General Havner announced he holds.
This confession, the state contends,
was obtained from the prisoner with
out duress and after the defendant
had been repeatedly warned that any
thing he might say would be held
against him. The state expects to
show by witnesses from Logan that
Kelly made the confession by his own
free will and that no third-degree
methods were used.
To Offer Confession.
The original confession will be Of
fered in evidence during the week and
its text will not differ materially from
the outline as printed in The Bee
two weeks ago. In this alleged con-
fession the minister is said to have
stated that a sermon on "Slay Ut
terly," by Gypsy Smith. evangelist,
worked upon his mind. He was writ
ing a sermon on that text and on the
night of June 9, 1912, when he was
a guest at the home of Rev. w. ].
Ewing at Villisca he heard a voice
and saw a shadow. He needed the
voice and followed the shadow to the
home of Joe Moore, according to the
confession.
Wife Claims Third Degree.
Mrs. Kelly has stated that her hus-
band was subjected to third-degree
methods before the confession was
signed. Attorney Mitchell of counsel
for defense in court charged that two
men were garbed as desperate high
waymen, handcuffed and placed in
cell with Kelly for psychological eff
feet before the confession was given.
The confession feature of the trial
will be an interesting chapter and will
be contested bitterly by opposing
counsel. The state claims to have
evidence that Kelly made series of
confessions, including two while held
by. federal authorities at Sioux Falls.

BOARD rs, ovERRULED.
But the board has been overruled
and the members now are calling up
on the patriotic citizens of Omaha
and the state to wire to Food Commis-
sioner Hoover or even to President
Wilson, to see if something cannot
be done before Tuesday to give the
farmers time to harvest the crop.
Frank A. Kennedy, amember of the
board, told Of several instances where
farmers had called on them within
the last few days, renters who have
corn crops in the field, with no one
to leave at home to husk the corn.
He said thatNthe hands of the board
were tied and that they must certify
the men to 60, even>t though 5000 of
them were to be torn away from the
farms of Nebraska, at a time when
they were most needed to gather the
bumper corn crop, of which the world
is in need.
Some time ago a ruling was made
that farmers, who had no one to
leave behind to look after their crops,
might be exempted until December
81. Now this has been changed and
Nebraska will lose thousands of its
young farmers at most critical time.
Farmers are already short of help
and with record crop soon ready for
the bins, there will be no one to
handle it.
Corn Badly Needed.
ACorn is one of the great food sup
plies Of the nation" said M. G. Peters,
member of the board.
1T must take the place in a way
of the winter wheat crop, which was
winter killed in Nebraska. 1t is a
food which will spoil if it is allowed
to remain in the fields all winter. 1t
should be husked and cribbed as soon
as it is ripe and with these men called
to the colors at this time there will
be many fields left to ruin"
