at $194 IL to 1885 were followed by
a moderate further setback all around.
Advices telling of Improvement in
Oklahoma and Kansas crops prevented
any important rally until the last hale
hour when the increased strength Of
corn was factor. The close was un.
settled, at the same as yesterdays finish

Corn traders appeared to have re-
turned to a normal basis again after
several days of excitement in regard
to the fixing of maximum price limit.
Favorable weather over the greater par;
of the corn belt today did a good deal
to ease the market. After opening quar-.
ter cent to &c lower, quotations sagged
trihe more, and then made something
of a rally.
Word Of export sales led subsequently
to a material upturn in prices. The

ROW WITH HOLPUCH
Jake Loeb and Joe Holpuch faced
accusations yesterday from a stormy
delegation of men and women from
the McAIlister school on the edge Of
the stOckyaTds district.
The school board is running things
all for the ArmOUTs and Swifts, and
for manufacturing interests, while
the working class folks are getting
only smoke, ashes and taxes, was
the gist of speeches by Mrs. George
F. Tierney of 1929 S. Morgan st. and
A. w. Gerber of 1851 S. Halsted st.
Gerber said four classrOOms Of chill
dren have been sent to other school
districts, and that, while S1,5OO,OOO
high school is going up in fashion
able north shore district, the McAllis-
ter school next to the yards" must
get along with Tickety wooden stairs
and fire-trap dangers. What with
stories of factories wanting to locate
about where the McAllister school
stands, Gerber said the school
boards neglect of the school looked
to him like a conspiracy to sell out"
to packing or manufacturing inter
ests.
Joe HOlpUch, contractor, banker
and real estate dealer, got hot under
the collar. He lives on the edge of
the district involved and figures in
discussions Of the situation.
HoIpUch rOared at the people from
the stOckyards district. He roared
his rOaringest TOars. But the people
from S. HaIsted are used to hearing
the believing of steers, the cries of
deep-chested, hairy animals voicing
anger and grief. So nobody got
scared at all when Holpuch threat
ened to have Gerber thrown out of
the board rooms. Vice Pres. Eckhart
came on to help HOlpuch. They were
about ready to officially and sancui-

Hogan to get out of the courtroom

neither.
