NOVEL DEFENSE
 MAY FREE YOUTH

To solve the age of Ann would be a small matter in comparison to solving the age of one Cipriano Figueroa. Much is involved in the age of the young Mexican serving a hundred-day sen tence in the city jail for driving a car when he was in an intoxicated con dition.
 Habeas corpus proceedings were brought in Judge Lyman's court yes terday, the petitioners asking the re- lease of the lad on the ground that he was a juvenile. Claiming that he is confined in jail with adults. his free dom was asked by his mother Mrs. Refugio Figueroa.
 When Mrs. Figueroa first took the stand, she claimed that her son was born in September, 1900. Further quer- ies brought out the fact that she had married at fourteen and that her son was born two years later, her present age being 36 Unable to reconcile the two statements the birth record was demanded and the case continued until Wednesday when it is expected the record will arrive from Tucson.

 The progress of the war gave im- petus to the growth of a more hopeful feeling. The improvement in the Rus sian situation was regarded as espe- cially encouraging and the market for rubles held steady after the sharp re- covery from the recent acute decline.
 Stock market trading continued to ne centered in industrials and the oper- ations were largely professional Lib erty bonds sold at a premium for the first time in several weeks

CHICAGO GRAIN

CHICAGO, Sept. 22.-Only a tempo rary set back in the corn market re- suited today from peace news and fine weather. Bearish factors were offset by weekend evening up of trades and by revival of misgivings about danger rom frost. The close was unsettled at s1.17B December and S1.15 MayA3s off to b up as compared with yester- days finish. Oats declined h to F net The outcome in provisions was an advance from to 105.
 Freezing of corn took place at the outset, bat after the first hour the downward swing gave place to grad ual but nearly complete reaction.
 The fact that oats for immediate de- livery had lost their premium over fu- ture options had depressing effect on the oats market.
 Millers' acquisitions for wheat con- tinued far in excess of what the food administrator subordinates here could obtain. Receipts at western centers in general totalled for the week but little more than half of last years total for the cropping period.
 Scarcity of hogs carried provisions sharply upgrade. Close:
