.KANSASGOVERNOR
WILL INSIST ON.
WHEAT PIT PROBE

TOPEKA, Kans., Oct. 19.-Gov-
ernor Allen will press his demands
for a government investigation of
the Chicago Board Of Trade on his
charges that wheat prices have been
manipulated, he said here today,
upon his return from an eastern
campaign speaking tour.
"My request to President Wilson,"
he said was merely for an. investi-
cation as to operations on the board.
Il am now awaiting action on that
request and believe an investiga-
ton will show some startling facts
and conditions"
Referring to the recent slumps of
wheat and cotton, Governor Allen
said:
IF it is shown that these price
fluctuations were due to speculation,
cold, deliberate gambling, and not
will urge abolition Of the board. In
any even 1 will fight illegal gam
bling in necessities.
at is impossible to conceive how
various forms of gambling in the
state and nation should be made IL
legal and yet become perfectly legit-
innate when the spectators and
of the food we must eat and the
clothes we must wear.
Had the Kansas farmers sold
their wheat under the recent break
they would have ben forced to lose
500, 100000. l cannot see the merit
Of a legalized gamble in necessi-
ties by persons who. sell thousands
of bushels of grain they do not own
and who buy thousands Of bushels
of grain that Is never delivered"

Convict Escapes in
His Pajamas; Steals
Automobile Also

The fact that suit of paiamas
constituted his raiment was no hand
leap to j. P. Seagle, nineteen years
old, convict, when he escaped Mon
day noon from the hospital at Bell
wood convict camp. The young man
made his departure by stealing an
automobile belonging to DR.. Paul
Mcdonald, camp physician, and up
to the present time he has not been
recaptured. The machine was found
a short time after the escape, where
it had been abandoned at the Chat
tahoochee river. It is believed the
young man boarded train for Chat
tanooga.
Seagle was confined in the hos
pital as result of an attack of
rheumati sm. Monday morning when
DR.. Mcdonald called at the hospital
to make his rounds Seagle is said
to have left his bed and made his
way to the open where the camp
physician had left his automobile He
was soon speeding on the road to
freedom. Guards fired at the flee
ing machine, some of the bullets
striking the car, but the young man
got away.
Seagle drove the car out the Mari
eta road a distance of about six
miles and then turned into the Bolton
road. Just before reaching the
Mayson and Turner road bridge he
turned into the woods and Abandoned
the car near the river. Bloodhounos
were put on his track which led the
searchers into Cobb county, but in
formation was received at a flag
station which showed that young
man answering the description of
Seagle had tagged passenger train
bound for Chattanooga and had got
aboard the train

building is half mile or more from
the town and although the fire ap-
paratus was Immediately hurried to
the scene and a line of hose laid, the
fire had gained too much Roadway for
any approach to be made through the
stairway.
AS result the salvage was al
most entirely confined to the first
floor, from which all of the furniture,
office furnishings, desks, ETC.. were
safely removed. The building hous-
ed the offices Of the departments of

fury and which of course it is inn
possible to replace. Many manu-
scripts, as well as valuable bulle-
tins. already in print, were included
in the loss. .-.
The structure was, one of the
property, having been built ten
years ago during the. administration
of Governor Conner and named in
his honor. 1t was three stories
with basement, and built entirely of
brick, with stone trimmings. It's or
iginal cost was $4,000 exclusive of
the heating apparatus and plumbing,
total probably of nearly $4,000. 1t
could not be replaced for twice that
amount today. The insurance on the
the equipment $4,000 having been
wisely increased recently, because of
the largely increased expense of con-
struction. Practically the only sal
wage, will be in the brick of the four
outside walls, which still remain
standing.
Defective wiring seems to be the
only explanation of the origin of the
fire. as no one had been in the labor
.atory for twelve hours previous DR..
Gardner left, the building. at ~
o'clock Saturday with everything in
perfect condition at that time. DR..
Gardner suffered the personal loss of
valuable botanical collection which
he has been assembling for a long
period of years
DR.. Dowell and the faculty have
promptly taken matters in hand,
with the result that ample provision
has been made elsewhere for the
classes that have been reciting in the
Agricultural building. Examinations
started Monday and these will be
held just as usual, in other build
ings which have been provided. such
as the gymnasium, old Presbyterian
church, Methodist Sunday school and
Y, M. c. A. rooms. DR.. Dowell ad-
dressed the students Immediately
after roll call to assure them there
would be no interruption in study or
classes because of the fire. Though
the disaster will prove a decided
handicap, there is every determina-
ton that the work of the student
body shall not suffer even for one
day.

SHEPARD & GLUcK COTTON LETTER

NEW UKLEANS, Oct.- ZO.-Perslstent re-
ports from England that there good
chances for setting the coal strike this
week increased bullish sentiment in the cot
ton market today and, combined with good
cables. caused strong advances in the early
trading. The flea ture of the weekly crop
reports was the clarl that picking has been
completed over wide areas, which means
that the crop is smaller than most people
have been counting\o on. We believe in buy
ing cotton on all breaks.
