RUSSIAN TRADE HAY
Business Experts See No Early Re-

Chicago, April 29.-Foreign trade
students here today were doubtful of
early resumption of business relations
between America and Russia-espe-
cially during the soviet regime or be-
fore-the money market becomes more
stable.
This became known following a
statement issued here by representa-
tives of the Russian soviet govern
ment in an effort to interest American
manufacturers that recognition by
America would come soon.
Il have no reason to believe trade
may be resumed between the two
countries in the near future" said

The big Elks initiation which was
to have been held tomorrow evening
has been postponed at least week
on account of the parade to be held
in Topeka tomorrow evening. Re-
turning heroes do not arrive in To-
peka, in sufficient numbers very often
to make possible parade, and Ex-
allied Ruler Peppmeyer asserts that
such an occasion is of sufficient i'm
portance to cause a postponement of

niless by Huns Who
Captured Warsaw.

Mrs. Ike Bork, of Keokuk, had not
heard from her relatives in Warsaw

country.
An uncle Of Mrs Bork was pro-

worth at least $4,000. The Huns took
it all away from him and now he is

Quickly Cured by
WAkEFIELD'S
Blackberry Balsam

Wakefeld's Blackberry Balsam has
been the surest and safest remedy for
Diarrhoea, Dysentery, Cholera Infan-s
tum and Cholera Morbus for 72 years..
While it is quick and positive in its

and puts the stomach and bowels in
their natural, regular condition. OF
the millions Of bottles that have been
sold, never has case been reported
to the manufacturer where q cure
was not effected when directions were
followed, even after other remedies
had failed. Every home should have q

den attacks. Full size bottle, 35c or
for $l.00 everywhere.

Hudson Seven Passenger Car Was
stolen from Detroit Man In June
and Discovered by keo-
kuk Police.
GOOD DETECTIVE WORK
Starting with a Cold Chisel Mark,
keokuk Officers Patiently Trace
Trail and Pick Up Two
People with It.

] By some very clever police work,
Chief Henneman and Detective VIII
son captured stolen seven-passen-
ger Hudson automobile and the two
lpeople with it. and notified the police
OF Detroit where the car was stoeln
on June "a.
The other day Detective Wilson
happened into a Keokuk garage.
There he was sauntering around
when he noticed that the engine
number of an automobile being re-
paired showed cold chisel marks.
Starting with this slight clue. he
and Chief Henneman worked like a
short story sleuth until they had the
case closed at the Keokuk end and
the Detroit police notified. The marks
on the engine number suggested an
attempt to obliterate 1t, or make one
figure look like another.
| Some Good Police Work.
The automobile bore Michigan
license plate, and had been left for
repairs by stranger. 1t had to be
fixed before it could be driven
| farther.
F., First, Chief Henneman telegraphed
the Michigan secretary of state for
the name of the owner of the car
with that license number, and re-
ceived reply that the number does
not belong to any Hudson. That
showed a switch of license plates
and corroborated the suspicion of the
Keokuk police.
Then Chief Henneman wired the
Hudson factory for the history Of
the automobile with the identifying

Heneman then telegraphed that he
had the car and two people with it.
For in the meantime, man and
a woman who had gone to Chicago
from here returned and went to get
the car from the garage, where they
were arrested by Wilson and Henne-
man at once.
Soon after the pair were taken to
headquarters. telegram from the
Detroit police department ordered
their detention and asked whether
they would return to Detroit with
out requisition.
The pair gave their names as C. |
w. Murphy and wife and said they
would go back to Detroit without a
requisition. They displayed perfect
familiarity with the requisition pro-
ceedings and bail, and were most !
concerned in keeping out of jail on
a cash bond.
Got Liberty on Cash Bond.
They were arraigned in the |
superior court last evening as fugi- .
tives from justice, and Judge Nc
Namara fixed their bond at $500 /
which they put up at once in cur
rency. They spent the night at the
Grand hotel. i
They told story of having obtain
ed the, car from another man, but ad-
mitted that the three had tried to
sell it in Galesburg, Quincy, Kinks
vile and elsewhere in roundabout
trip through this part Of the country.
The man had little to say and the
dressed in black satin, was
evidently the spieler of the party
and was bright as could be. She
alternated between familiarity with
some things and protested ignorance
with other things, and stored the
pair into liberty on a small bond.

NEW JAIL is NEEDED
Crumbine Says Shawnee County Bas-
tile Cannot Be Improved.

Shawnee county needs a new jail.
So long as she is satisfied with the
present bastile, conditions for prison.
ers cannot be improved, according to
report to Governor Allen by DR.. S.
]. Crumbine. secretary of the state
board OF health.
Doctor Crumbine was this week
asked by Governor Allen to conduct
an investigation of the Kansas jails
The Shawnee county jail was the first
on the list. In his investigation the
state health department head found
that conditions were as good as pos
sible in view of the opportunities for
sanitation and cleanliness. There is
little vermin and disinfectants are
freely used at the Jail.
The need of the county, Doctor
Crumbine points out. is new jail.
There can be no improvement in con-
ditions so long as the present building
is used. The jail surroundings at this
time could be improved only by aid of
the prisoners. In a number of in
stances-notably cases of l. W. w.
agents and agitators-cells and corri-
doris were made filthy by the deliber-
ate action of inmates who sought to
prey on public sentiment and sympa-
thy. The report indicates that much
of the existing trouble is due to the
action of Jail inmates. The report
says the Jail basement is "inexcusably
unsanitary and the plumbing bad"
other surroundings, tho, are as good
as might reasonably be expected in
view of conditions.
