Middle West Wheat Belt Fears
Another Transportation Tieup.

Chicago. May S.-The freight car
supply may be measuring the price of
bread next summer. it was believed
today by grain trade experts of the
middlewest. They met here with
Julius H. Barnes, United States wheat
director. for consultation over the
grain situation. Their belief was
caused by the difficulties of railroads
which dropped wheat into a critical
plight almost on the eve of the eX-
piration of the wheat guaranty act,
June /.
The conference here took steps to
establish free and open market for
the handling of wheat and products
after federal control passes. plan
for the re-opening of exchanges to
future trading in wheat will be worked
out by a committee of sixteen men
from the grain exchanges of Chicago,

SUPREME COURT
Confined from Page one,

an employer is not entitled to credit
or deduction for the expense of a
minors board and support. That was
the decision of the supreme court to-
day in affirming the judgment of Ira
s. Slater and Sarah Slater against the
Ismert-Hincke Milling company. ap-
pealed from the Shawnee county dis
trict court.
Almon Slater, 16 year old son of
the plaintiffs, was killed in an acct
dent while in the employ of the mill
ing company. He earned s17.45. a
week, all of which was turned over to
his parents. who were partially de-
pendent upon these earnings. He paid
no board. Testimony showed his ex-
pense for support was IS per week.
The milling company claimed an Off
set for this board in computing COM
pensation. 1t was denied in the dis
trict court and the lower courts opin-
ion was affirmed by the supreme
court.
Amrine Needs a Horseshoe.
Milf r. Amrine. editor of the Coun-
ell Grove Guard, today lost his suit to
town TO recognize him as a member.
Amrine signed a resignation and
handed it to the president of the board
when he entered war service. No
action was taken by the board. but a
successor. chosen at the ensuing cleo
llOils was ISCO6HiLcU SdAhO
home and sought to regain his job.
In deciding the case today Justice
Mason held that, when Amrine signed
the resignation and rendered it to the
president of the board, his rights as q
member were extinguished without
the act of a formal acceptance. The
| opinion holds that the action was
| tantamount to acceptance of Amrine' S
resignation and he is no longer en-
titled to the office.
Amrine's fight was directed against
the board of which Emmett D.
George, private secretary to Governor
Allen and Amrine's business COM
petitor, is member. Richard J
| Hopkins, attorney general, brought
the suit for Amrine in the name OF
the state.
| Children Lose Estate.
Promises to divide an estate some
| times mean little when the owners OF
the estate die intestate. Brothers and
sisters of Dollie Z. Woods today
| learned that estates are divided il
accordance with the general statutes
when no other provision is defined.
Sarah E. wilkins. a childless widow
| adopted Dollie Woods. The widow
told the girls brothers and sisters she
would make a will giving them 6
share in her estate. When she dieo
there was no will. The adopted child
inherits under the law. but the cour'
refuses a share of the property to the
| girls brother and sister.
