loaded it in his car and was driving
thru the streets of Wichita when a
special assistant from Brewster's office
arrested him and seized the car.
Persons who have followed the case
assert that Hussey's lawyers secured
a continuance of the case on various
pretexts. Shortly after the August.
of Attorney General Hopkins, Hussey
is declared to have gone west "for
his health" and a doctors certificate
secured another continuance
How Et WAS Dismissed.
When Hopkins succeeded Brewster
in office the case was assigned for
trial at the April term of court. The
day following this assignment and
sixteen days before the date of trial,
Cliff Matson, as assistant attorney gen.
eral, went to Wichita and dismissed
the case. Approval of the attorney
general is carried on the journal en-
try, which shows that the case was
dropped by the state for want of
prosecution"
Now the attorney general is check
ing the matter up to the county at-
torney OF SedgWick county. II Con-
ley believes Hussey should be prose-
cuted, Hopkins directs him to pro-
coed. Conley. however, was appar-
emily not consulted when the action
against Hussey was filed.
In his letter Attorney General Hop
kins says:
81 am informed that the Hussey
case which was filed by my predeces-
sor nearly a year before his term ex-
nired was dismissed at the March
term of court largely because the
chief witness against Hussey was
guilty of some offense, had become a
fugitive from justice and could not be
secured. I desire, however, that you
make such investigation of the mat
ter as will fully satisfy you and II
you believe the defendant can be con.
victed. that you proceed with all pos
sible vigor and 1 will give you all the
assistance in my power"

PLANT. W. W. FIGHT
County Attorneys Are Meeting
in Hutchinson Today.
Jack Gave1l, 1. w. w. Leader, Is
Arrested There.

Hutchinson, Kan, June 14.-County
attorneys from some thirty counties
of Kansas will meet here today with
w. L. Holloway. of Kansas City, Kan,
assistant United States attorney for
Kansas, and with a representative
from the office of Attorney General
Richard ]. Hopkins to make plans
for concerted action in connection
with the threatened invasion of In
dustrial Workers of the World into
the Kansas wheat fields.
Reports from many parts of the
wheat belt, to the federal authorities,
indicate the gathering of persons well
supplied with 1. w. w. literature and
membership blanks. One so supplied,
upon his arrest here, gave the name
of Jack Gavell, and admitted he had
been indicted in Chicago in the Hay
wood group for conspiracy to defeat
the espionage act and the selective
draft law. Word from Chicago last
night indicated Gavell was one of the
editors of Solidarity, an 1. w. W. pub
LEGATION.
Indicative of the number of I. W.
w. coming is a report to the federal
authorities from Sheriff ]. H. Griffin,
of Belleville, Republic county, that
the county jail is filled with persons
held in connection with the visit of I.
w. w. to the wheat fields.
In connection with the plan for con-
certed action by the county attorneys,
Attorney General Hopkins a few days
ago sent a letter to all county and
city police officers calling their atten-
ton to the laws regarding vagrancy
and the making of threats. and ipdi-
Gated that these laws would cover
much of the Industrial Workers of the
World activities, and be available for
| curbing these activities if they inter-
fered in any way with the harvesting
of the wheat crop.

BARE BLACKMAIL PLOT
Big Conspiracy To Extort Money From
Leading Hutchinson Citizens.

Hutchinson, June IA conspiracy
to extort blackmail from thirty-two
leading citizens of Hutchinson was re-
ported to the authorities today by
Charles Coffey,' teamster, who says
he overheard two men relating de-
tails. The detectives are trying to To-
cate the men.
According to Coffey, threats of dy-
namiting and sabotage were to be
used to gain the ends desired. Those
in the plot had listed the names of
thirty-two leading Hutchinson men,
among them ]. r. Baker, Emerson
Carey, George Gano, president of the
Chamber of Commerce, and D. A
Moore. Hutchinson seems to be head
quarters for I. w. w. agitators in this
district, and the authorities are leav-
ing nothing undone to capture the
leaders in any such conspiracy.

Weekly Grain and Proyisions.

Chicago, June 14.-Crop scares and
diminishing receipts have made corn prices
this week run up to new top level for
the season. Compared with week ago
values in corn market this morning were
2Ac to 015c higher and oats showed 9 gain
of 1l5e TO 1ssc to 32le. At the same time
provisions had risen 42c to 81.
Bullish sentiment. which developed in the
corn market. was checked for while by
the re-establishment of the 100000 bushels
limit as the maximum of trading for any
single interest. Federal reserve banking
officials efforts TO restrain speculation
counted temporarily also, as a bearish in
quieting crop reports together with evil
dence of falling off in the arrival of sup
plies turned the market strongly up grade.
Uneasiness over the crop outlook stirred
as in corn.
High price records were broken again
ed swiftly. too, with cereals and hogs.
