urday, when Mr.. Dooling was the
inquisitor.
On redirect examination Means tes-
titled that at the time Of her death,
Mrs. Kings assets amounted to more
than $6so,0O0, including a trust fund
in the Northern Trust company of
Chicago from which she received an
income of $4,000 a year. Among her
assets he said were $4,000 worth of
jewefry, note for $31, 900 from W.
r. Patterson, Means father-in-law,
$4,000 in gold certificates, and note
for $1,000 signed by Mrs. J. B. For
aker. Jr.
The amount of Mrs. Kings assets
was considerably lower when she was
killed than they were when he first
became connected with her business
affairs, in 1915, Means testified.
Several witnesses were called by
the defense late yesterday to testify
about experiments they had made in
placing a pistol in the fork of the
sycamore tree. at the spring into
which Means said he laid the pistol
just before Mrs King was shot. They
all said the pistol would remain in
the tree fork unless disturbed.
Indications were that the trial
would continue several more days, as
the defense has some witnesses yet to
be called and the state was expected
to put on evidence in rebuttal.

Means and Mrs Joseph Goodman, the
two sisters, were called to the stand
by the defense late in the day when
Means was excused after being in
the witness chair practically four
days. Miss Means testified that when
she came upon her brother he cried.
IF there is God in heaven how
could He Let such a thing happen ?''
This testimony was ruled TOUT by
Judge Cline over the vigorous pro-
, test OF counsel for defense.
The Cross examination of Means
was resumed yesterday, but the spec

who had vigorously questioned Means
on Friday and Saturday, announced
that he would no longer actively par

assigned. Solicitor Hayden Clement
@completed the questioning of the wit

Judge Cline also referred to the
tenseness Of feeling, and declared that
he knew no distinction between resi-

According TO a Budapest telegram

The democratic principle has become

the ocean separates President Wilson
from the horrors of war, but also
from knowledge of European condi-
tions, ne nevertheless 'ignorantly and
intervenes in the de-
cision of the fate of Europe and
hounds on his allies to further blood

( said further that the league intended TO
get political control of the state so that
il could force the legislature to pass
favorably upon such questions as state

cold storage plants. In North Dako-

Partisan league has eighty-one of 113
members in the house and also have

WHEAT PRICE Is TO
REMAIN UNCHANGED
Protests From Farming Districts Do
Not Move Food Administrator.

The price of $2.20 a bushel for wheat
fixed by President Wilson will be
maintained. it was made clear Satur-
day ait the food administration bureau,
despite isolated protests from farming
interests that the figure is too low.
Virtually the only objection of any
consequence, it was said, has arisen IN
North Dakota, where the crop was un-
usually poor.
North Dakota farmers are demand
ing SO a bushel for their wheat, and
are asking for the removal of the food
administration regulations, designed
to prevent speculation. They particu-
larly object to restrictions against ele-
vators storing grain more than thirty
days.
Dr. r. A. Pearson. assistant to the
secretary of agriculture, is just back
/ from a trip throughout the vests, with
a report that he found the wheat price
generally acceptable except in com
munities where crops we're far below
normal.
Herbert Hoover, the food admins
traitor. forsees some actual suffering
among farmers in North Dakota anC
localities in other states, whatever
the price. The wheat failure in some
districts. he said, means that some
