a matter of fact, receipts yesterday
were smaller than last week and ma
terlally under those of year ago. Ad-
vices from Canada said that fall
ploughing showed gains of about so
per cent over last year, and summer
ploughing had also been more than
usually active, all of which pointed to
a favorable seed bed in the spring.
bradstreet's visible showed decrease
IN the United States and Canada for
the week of 1,736,O0O bushels.
Corn.-Receipts at interior points
continue to increase. The total move
ment yesterday was 1855 900 bushels,
compared with $4,000 last week and
$4,000 year ago. The demand, how
ever, continues to increase fully as
rapidly as the movement and receipts
are being eagerly taken by consumers
VINO have been waiting for months

result, the cash market Yesterday was
again strong and prices in some cases

expect a continuation of the present
actlve demand for some time to come.

GRAVE CHARGES ON
AIRCRAFT DIRECTION

WASHINGTON, May "a report
on the aircraft situation, compiled
by the investigating committee Of
the Aeronautical Society of America
was filed In the senate yesterday by
Senator Wadsworth of New York. It
reviews statements on the progress
of the building program attributed
to Secretary Baker and brands them
as false and misleading. The report
does not attempt to fix responsibility
for delays and failures but In gen.
eral way supports the published
charges made by Gutzon Borglum.
Il charges that not more than S
per cent OF the facilities for building
aircraft have been utilized and that
recruiting and training OF men for
fliers has slowed down.
Practically all statements by Of.
Ilcers of the government regarding
the execution of the aircraft pro.
gram must be absolutely neglected
as untrustworthy." said the report.
"Inventlve genius was left unutilized
so that the 1917 program is nullifled
unless steps are taken to combat this
evil"
The report concluded that the cen
sorshlp was without military value,
that recruiting had been such as to
create uncertainty and cause loss
Of men: that production OF fighting
planes is tagging through lack OF
cooperation Of departments" and that
delays will increase with the rate
OF production.
The Liberty motor basically C.
good design. said the report, was dis
} credited by exaggeratlon of high Of
} ficials and its production has beef
uselessly aud undesirably delayed, th'
high altitude type still being in IL
infancy

ONE Of SEVERAL
SCHMIDT WIVES
BODY IS FOUND
ny AssOriated rress.D

DETROIT, May 3.--Wrapped in
canvas the body 0f Irma Pallatinus
was found yesterday under the ce
ment floor in the basement of the
nome here formerly occupied by Hell.
muth Schmidt, whose suicide in the
Hyland Park jail ten days ago has
resulted in an investigation to de-
termine the fate of at least three
women who lived with Schmidt as
his wife.
Mrs. Edward Rederer, a sister If
lrma Pallatinus, identified a strand
of hair as that of her sisters and
examination revealed the fact that
the woman had been strangled to
death with a clothes line.
Miss Pallatlnus had accompanied
Schmidt here from Lakewood, N j.,
and relatives states that the couple
were married in New York, this be.
ing disputed, however by Schmidt's
daughter and widow, Mrs Tietz
Schmidt. The woman disappeared
suddenly two years ago
The discovery was made after the
