In addition to the main report sub
mitted by the grand jury yesterday,
Foreman Clarke also presented TO
Judge Richardson a supplemental re-
mort. which was not read in court, for
obvious reasons.
After having examined all persons
known to have had opportunity OF
handling the Lenahan memorandum

had been tempered with, multi lated,
and altered. the Jury reached the con-
cfusion that the book had been taken
from the office of the clerk and had
been kept for several hours II rs De-
lieyed that in that period certain
pages were distracted, and other mat
ter written in the book and 1t was
concluded by the jury that the pook

today by Food Administrator Hoover
in explaining certain features OF the

tabooed all reports that an increase
in the price of wheat to $3.50 was
contemplated.
The primary purpose Of the presi-
dents proclamation. he said, was to
give the food administration author
ity to make the necessary changes in
wheat prices to conform to the new
freight schedules. The second pur-
pose, he added, was to increase the
capitalization OF the grain corporation

The price of wheat" Mr.. Hoover
said, will remain the same"
The same will be true regarding the
price of flour A maximum differ

wheat and -four. This amounts to
about twenty-five cents a bushel. &,
Because of the great production OF
wheat. miilers will be allowed to
choose their own markets this year,
Mr.. Hoover said. and this system is
expected to bring about freer move
