Travelled WITH HIM
Miss Lusk Makes Admission of Reia-
lions With DIR. Roberts.

Waukesha, Wis, June 27.-Miss
Grace Lusk, who took the life of Mrs.
David Roberts and then shot herself,
has admitted taking trips to Chicago
with Dr. Roberts and having met
him in Peoria, ILL.,, on one occasion,
county authorities today stated.
The coroner's inquisition into. the
death of Mrs. Roberts will be con-
Quoted this afternoon. 1t is expect
ed that only sufficient evidence to
determine the cause of her death will
be presented and that details of the
case will not be delved into.
Miss Lusk has rallied sufficiently
to be questioned by District Attorney
Tullar and Chief of Police Mckay. She
reiterated statements in a letter to
Mrs. Roberts in which she told of
having travelled about with DR.. Rob
ertS.
A special agent of the department
of justice attended the conference
when Miss Lusk was questioned, ac-
cording to the girls attorney, Henry
Lockney.
After the inquest at $3.50 this after
noon the case is expected to rest until
December, when Miss Lusk will prob
ably be tried on the first degree muir
der charge.
Miss Lusk is still too weak from
self-inf1icted bullet wounds to attend
the inquest set for this afternoon. The
proceedings will be conducted by the
coroner, whose purpose is to adduce
just enough testimony to establish
that crime was committed and that
it was committed by Miss Lusk.

Washington, June 27.-Assurances

interests, who again today conferred
with the national defense councils

This is the coal operators answer

TODAY'S MARKET REPORTS

Chicago, June 27-wHEAT-wheat
prices showed a decided downgrade ten
dency. today as a result of assertions that
immediate embargo restrictions on wheat
shipments from the United States were
likely and that the Canadian surplus

wheat belts counted subsequently as q
further depressing factor. Besides, be-
lief spread that the government would fix
a price for the whole 1917 crop. The close
was steady, 1c to 4c net lower with July
at $205 and September at 81 SO.

Coppers, shippings and petroleums devel-

bond market.
Probability of easier money conditions as
a result of the decision OF the treasury
department to distribute a large part of
the liberty loan fund among local banks
impaired general strength to the stock
market at today's opening. War shares
asserted their recent prominence, many of
the more popular equipments rising a point
or more with United States steel. Motors
and oils also rallied from their depression
of the previous session and coppers and
shippings were steadier. Later railway
shares, especially coalers became increas-
fngly active at higher levels Reading

Chicago, June 27-The Chicago Herald
says: 1t is generally understood among
the grain men that the government acting
thru the food conservation committee is to
fix a price for wheat for the entire crop.
1t is to vary in different markets, depend
ing upon the rates of freight. Country and
terminal elevators are to be used on a stor-
age basis. The buying of wheat, 1t is said.
will be thru wheat export company. corn
thru Parker and Graft, the New York ex-
porters. Oats by the Grain Growers Com
pany, VINO has handles the bulk of that
business for more than a year. and provi-
sions thru Ben Hamm, the buyer for the
Belgian Relief commission. Some of the
people In the trade think the plans will not
work successfully in wheat and that the
workings of the future market can be used
to better advantage in the long run. The
new plan, however, is to be given a trial.
The grain trade is puzzled over the i'm
mediate future of the export situation in
all cereals. The new embargo law gives
the president and the exports council con-
troll of the entire export situation. 1t was
said late yesterday that all the big ex-
porters Of corn were out of the market and
might stay until more is known as to
how they will be allowed to operate. This
was used as bear factor in the market
for future delivery. What is to be done
with, the corn bought of late is also a
puzzle. Corn bulls said last night that
they were not disturbed by the setback
in prices. as September closed yesterday
at the low point of Monday.

they presented their cards, the alert
Chinaman hastily compared them with
Mrs. Smiths card, and remarked as
her closed the door: Tickets no good;
You can't come in."-Los Angeles
