DECEMBER WHEAT CLOSES AT
$2.47 TODAY; LIVERPOOL is UP
THOUGH STOCKS ARE LARGE

though the market had narrow
range and buying and selling orders
were we'll balanced, the tone was
strong with good part of the pur-
chases having the appearance of be-
ing against export sales. Cash prem
iums were slightly easier with sales
of hard and red at IL to IL cents over
December.
The strength in the Winnipeg mar
ket, which was clearly a reflection of
an active export demand in that coun-
try, attracted considerable attention
here. The tremendous amount of
wheat that has been cleared from the
sea aboard since July 1st combined with
the quantity already bought and to be
shipped out. has resulted in a defi-
cheney possibility that must be reck-
oned with if fresh buying develops.
Indications are not lacking that ad-
ditional sales of Importance will be
made next week. Under present con-
ditions it is not likely that declines
will be permanent or far extended.

HART WILL RECEIVE
HIS SENTENCE ON
WEDNESDAY AT TWO
Change of Venue Appeal for
Other Men Not Yet Argued
Because of Delay in Arrival
of Spokane Attorney.

Arguments by attorneys for the state
and for tho defense on the motion fol
a change of venue in the trial of ElviS
l.. Stoop and Floyd Henderson. will
take place i'm the circuit court room
Monday morning at $50. Both sides
have presented affidavits supporting
their respective contentious for OF
against the change of venue and. aft
or hearing the arguments, Judge G.
w. Phelps will make his decision.
The arguments were to have been
taken up this morning but late last
night Attorney Joseph j. LAWN, of
Spokane. counsel for Stoop and Hen
derson wired that he would not be
BILE to reach here before Monday
morning. The Judge fixed the time
to be convenient for his appearance.
AS soon as the decision is made,
preparation for the trials either here
or elsewhere. probably will be pos
sible. If the men charged with the
murder or Sheriff Til Taylor are TO
be tried here. they doubtless will
come before the jury shortly after
Roundup, If there is separation
granted and a change Of venue given,
the local circuit court viii be through
with tho case.
Sentence on Emmett Bancroft. alias
Neil Hart, who pleaded guilty to the
charge OF murder in the first degree,
Is to be pronounced by Judge Phelps
at o'clock next Wednesday. Hart
was brought before the judge yester-
day afternoon and asked whether he
understands the law governing his
case and that his plea of guilty auto
matically forfeited his right of trial
by jury.
AS emotionlcss as ever, the man
who fired the fatal bullet said that
he understood the law and had no
questions to ask. He answered af-
firmatively the various questions put
to him such as do you know that by
your plea you have made yourself Ii
able to the penalty of death?''
After Judge Phelps had ascertained
that Hart made his plea without any
undue influence and that he under
stood tho points at issue, the prisoner
was notified that evidence would be
heard and sentence pronounced next
Wednesday. Hart was not stirred by
the prospect.
Owing to the fact that this is the
first case in oregon to come up under
the amendment restoring capital pun
ishment, Judge Phelps has been ex-
tremely careful to get all the points
at law correct and to follow the cor
rect procedure in dealing with Harris
case. 1t is believed that the way is
now cleared for the pronouncement OF
sentence and that no loophole will be
left.

Tho suggestion that America has been

tho French and English text of articles

made by Harding. These discrcpan-

on the treaty issue was sprung in a
double -barreled broadside on the
