Chicago, April G-Fresh upturns in
the price of corn resulted today from
low temperatures. Besides receipts
here showed something of a decrease.
On the advance, however, commission
houses became sellers and brought
about a reaction. The opening, which
was i to cents higher, with May
at s1.27ls and July at s1.451. to s1.45A
was followed by moderate setbacks,
chiefly in the active option, July.
The fact that arrivals for the week
in Chicago proved to be the largest at
this season in more than FIVE years had
an unsettlng influence. The close

July at $780, to SASS.

Council Bluffs, April 2O.-F. ]. Nc
Caweeny and John Price were arrested
here today as they appeared in the
Commercial National Bank with Henry
C. Thiessen, of Keystone, would-be
victim of race horse swindle. The
men were in the act OF cashing draft
for $4,000, which Thiessen was to
hand over to the two alleged swindlers.
The swindle was prevented and the
two men arrested by the local police
and State Agent George Gillispie, of
Des Moines, who had worked on the
case.
Tniessen is a retired farmer and
single. He met the two men at Ex-
celsior Springs, Mo. where, it is said,
a gang of swindlers has been operating
all winter.
They began betting small. sums on
horse races. the location of which was
never divulged to Thiessen. He
doubled his money every day until he
had won affair sized sum. Then came
the proposal for the big killing and
Thiessen was induced to bet $4,000
which he did and won. At least SO he
was told, and the trio came to Council
Bluffs to cash in. Thiessen sent TO
his home town for the $4,000, drawing
upon his account there thru the Coun-
Gil Bluffs bank. 4 tip from some out
side source reached the authorities and
Thiessen himself did not know he was
being robbed until after the arrest Of

DAMAGE SUIT FOR S60,000
 FILED TODAY
W. s. Harding, Former Police Chief, Asks That Sum Against Mayor
 Valentine.

Suit against Emery Valentine was filed this morning for $60,000 for personal damages by H. H. Folsom, acting as attorney for w. s. Harding, former chief of police of Juneau. The complaint is based on charges made at a mass meeting held at the Coli scum Theatre last April, during which Emery Valentine read certain affidavits to the public which snfrt ported to be charges against the char. acter of Harding The affidavits were later filed with the City Coun- cil and investigated, but they found no foundation of truth in the charges contained in them.
 The specific basis for the charges was the reading of two affidavits by Jack Ivey in which he charged that he was forced to order woman from the Gastineau Hotel and that both times when he went to the room he found Harding with the woman. Harding asks $10,000 damages for defamation of character for the read ing of each affidavit He also asks $20,0C0 damages for the reading of the charges before members of the City Council and $20,000 for the read. ing of charges before the Council and the public at a meeting of the City Council, making $60,000 in all.

Clara Kimball Young Give Car to Red Cross.

The generosity of player folk is proverbial, but seldom has it been so well demonstrated as in the gift by Clara Kimball Young, of per feetly good automobile to the Red Cross Society for conversion into an ambulance for use in the war.
 Miss Young recently won a new touring car in popularity contest in New York. About the same time she received a letter from an Eng fish cousin, Bayard Kimball, who had been wounded at Lens and who wrote pathetically of the diff culties faced by the Medical Corps in handling the wounded, owing to the lack of motor ambulances.
 The experiences of her cousin, who endured frightful agonies in being transported from the trenches to a Base Hospital, brought such a vivid picture of the war and it's horrors to Miss Young that she de- termined to do something substan- tial toward relieving the suffering at the front.
 The idea of giving her older car

"The Badge of
 Shame" Will Be | Seen Tomorrow.

On Sunday night at the Palace will be seen in a thoroughly enter taining pictureplay entitled "The Badge of Shame" This picture has been filmed from the stage play bearing the title of "The Yellow Passport" and it gives Miss Young one of the most scintillating roles of her career. She portrays the character of a beautiful young Rus sian girl who is forced to secure the yellow passport that is given to women of the streets in Russia to enable them to travel anywhere they wish in that country The girl has to bet this passport in order to get out of the country and escape the persecution heaped upon her and her family. But the stigma of the badge of shame follows her to Amer ica and when she is about to be happily married to a young Ameri- can, it becomes known that she had this passport and for a time it ap- pears that the marriage will never take place. But the girls uncle comes to her aid at the crucial mo- ment and makes it possible for her to marry the young man after all. Miss Clara Kimball Young takes the part of the young girl and she plays it to perfection. Aiding her is a particularly capable cast including a number of very well known film players. The scenes shown in this production are notable for their beauty. Miss Young wears a num- Der of very beautiful gowns. The play is filled to the brim with ex- citing and tense situations and the interest is sustained and constant from the first flash of the first reel to the last flash of the last reel. It is a glowing, thrilling TO- nance that will charm and delight everyone who sees it.
