der Farm" is Defiant
at Examinations.

ESKRIDGE, Kans.. Aug a.
Disjointed bones of three men today
was the mute testimony intended 10
accuse Rufus King, Maple Hill
liveryman, Of triple murder.
He was formally charged yester-
day following a preliminary exam
ination held in a dimly lighted thea
ter here, where bones identified as
those Of Reuben Gutshall. who dis
in 1919, were drawn. one
by one. from a burlap sack and ar
ranged in skeleton form on the stage
before King. the boys parents and
a crowded house OF curious specta-
tors
Handcuffed King was for the
most part defiant. Only once during
the gruesome procedure-when he
saw skull with a jagged hole
through it-did ne show emotion.
Then his eyes shifted and his head
fell forward
GutshalFs bones were found a few
days before those OF John Woody
and an unidentified peddler were
discovered buried IN a shallow grave
on Kings farm All three had been
missing several years.

LONDON WATCHES

BY United Press:
LONDON. Aug. 22.-Revived in
terest in the League Of Nations and
in the proceedings at the peace con-
ference has resulted here from Pres
Wilson's testimony before the sen
ate foreign relations committee.
The allies conceaImeht of secret
treaties strengthened Wilson's moral
position, says the Manchester Guard
ian. which wonders why the presi-
dent did not use his position more
fully. The paper supposes he was
forced TO make a difficult choice be-
tween the acceptance Of some very
unfavorable point or the possible
breaking up of the peace conference
1t hopes the price Of all the con
cessions, paid in return for the
League of Nations. will not be lost
The Daily Graphic, commenting
on Wilson's conference with the SEN
ators, declares there is one aspec.
with regard to the difficulty over Ar
ticle y which should weigh heavily
on America. Had il not been for the
endurance and sacrifices of the all
lies. the editor declares, the Mon
roe doctrine would not be much to-
day besides a sweet memory con-
trolled by Germany"
THAT being the case the paper
asks. why shouldn't America make
some sacrifice in return for the al
lies services

SPLIT OVER
HEARINGS ON
LEAGUE PACT
Majority of Committee Would
Give Ear to Smaller
Peoples.
BY l.. G. MARTIN.

BY United Press:
WASHINGTON. Aug. 22.-Deci-
sion Of the senate foreign relations
committee to lengthen hearings on
the treaty still further by granting
a hearing TO Greek, Irish and Egyp-
tian and European representa-
tives threatened today TO renew the
agitation for taking the treaty out of
the committees hahds.
A majority of the committee took
the position that the subject peo-
pies who did not get satisfaction at
Paris should be allowed to air their
grievances.
Democratic committee members
objected on the ground that addi-
tional hearings would needlessly de-
lay the reporting of the treaty; that
all those asking for hearings, except
the Egyptians, got some sort of a
hearing in Paris and that they have
ALL without exception, made clear
the nature of their grievances 10 the
senate and the country through ad-
vertisements and other forms of
publicity. The Egyptians, it was con-
ceded, got practically nc hearing in
Paris. They are to be represented
before the committee by former
Gov. Folk OF Missouri.
Democratic senators today pointed
out that the senate is powerless TO
help the nations or subject peoples
who feel they were unjustly dealt
with.
Indications are that if the COM
mittee keeps the treaty much after
Sept an effort will be made to
force it's hand.

BY United Press:
NEW YORK, Aug. 22.-America's s
war against the profiteer has not yet
reached a stage where any consistent
reduction in the cost OF living is per-
ceptible. Food prices in some cities
have taken a drop in the past month,
but in others they have advanced
and in a great many instances they
have remained stationary
Nine Cities Report.
These are the conclusions, based
On reports received today by the
United Press from nine cities, rep
resentative of the nation. The re-
ports deal with five commodities
butter, eggs, bacon, bread and po-
tatoes. All the prices quoted were
obtained from the cash and carry
stores, where additional charges for
credit accounts and delivery are
eliminated and where prices are con-
sidered 10 be lowest and more uni
form
New York still maintains its repu-
tation as the highest priced city. al
though the figures show that the
downward tendency has been more
general in that city. St Paul is the
cheapest city in which TO live, the
reports indicate.
The prices are comparative for a
months time, those Of July p be-
ing matched against those Of Aug.
p.
Butter Decreases
New York during that time saw
decreases in three products The
best bulk butter dropped from 81
TO So cents a pound: the prices OF
eggs fell from so 10 rs cents a dozen
and standard bacon decreased from
81 to Go cents a pound Bread re-
mained stationary at 10 cents a loaf
and potatoes. priced in 1O-pound
lots were the same at so cents.
Only three cities. New York. San
Francisco and St Louis were spared
increases in price. In Washington
only one product was lowered in
price Tho lone item was potatoes
which sold at 43 cents for 10 pounds
yesterday, compared with IS. cents
month ago. Eggs in washington
rose from so TO SO cents. OthN
prices remained the same. as fol
lows; Butter 81 cents; bacon Sc
cents: bread 10 2-3 cents.
