Washington. Oct. 15.-Prestdenb,
Wilson has requested Governor Al
len, OF Kansas, to forward to the
federal trade commission any infor-
nation he has tending to indicate
that the recent decline In wheat
prices was due to unfair practices.
or competition or to other ARTIFICIAL
causes.
A letter to this effect, sent TO-DAY.
by Secretary Tumulty, was in an
swer to many appeals for govern
ment action looking to an embargo,
on Canadian wheat. These were re-
ferred some time ago to the COM.
mission and the Department Of agri-
culture. Mr.. Tumultys letter to,
Governor Allen said:
The president mas received your,
telegram OF Oct. s, with reference to,
the wheat situation. and has received!
a number of others OF similar tenor.
He fully recognizes the Importance
OF the questions you raise, and he I
has, therefore, requested the federal.
trade commission and the depart
ment of agriculture to look into the
matter at the earliest possible mo-
ment with view to determine what,
If anything, can be done. In the
meantime he will appreciate it il YOU
will be good enough to forward to
the general trade commission any
information in your possession which,
in your opinion, tends to Indicate
that the recent decline In wheat
prices is due to unfair practices or
competition or to other artificial
causes"
Wheat Prices Boosted.

Chicago. Oct. 15.--Wheat made a
big advance in price today after
Wilson had asked Governor Allen.
Of Kansas, for information which
might indicate that the recent big
fall in the value Of wheat was due to
any artificial causes. December de-
livery ran up 10 to 1874 cents to
1921, and closed unsettled at $2.17h
to $2.1S1a.
Announcement Of large British pur--
chases of wheat on the Pacific coast
counted also as a bullish factor, and
so, too, did word of an unusual export
demand for corn during the last few
days. Besides, big drop in ocean
freight rates was reported, and 1t was
said that seeding advices pointed to
a seriously decreased acreage 6f win
ter wheat planting turnout the United
States.
Most Of the hurried buying on
which today's advance took place was
attributed to shorts and commission
houses.

Chicago. Oct. illumination by
attorneys for Carl o. Wanderer that
a confession of the murder Of his wife
and a ragged stranger" had been
exacted from the former army officer
by third degree methods caused the
belief that Wanderer would abandon
a presupposed insanity plea and
would deny from the stand that he
shot to death his wife and the I'M
identified tramp during fake. holdup.
These unexpected tactics by Wan
derer's counsel came during cross ex-
animation of policemen, to whom
Wanderer is said to have confessed.
They denied that the ex-lieutenant
had been cursed and beaten and
threatened with the return of his
wife's spirit during the questioning
which terminated in his confession.
To rebuke rebuttal testimony that
both revolvers found after the shoot
ing had been in Wanderers possess
sion the accused mans lawyers
sought to show that he had refused
to identify thesweapon he used fear
ing his cousin, from whom he bor--
rowed it, would be arrested.

washington. Oct IA new and
powerful federation by which white
Ruthenia, ,the entire Ukraine. the
| Cessack territory between the Sea
of Azov and the volga,i and all the
territory now held by General Wran-
sci, will be organized into the United
States Of Russia. will shortly be an
nounced, it was learned officially to-
day.
The territory thus embraced in
cludes approximately three scvenths
OF all the population of European
Russia.
The first president of the new re-
public, it is expected here, will be
General Wrangel. who proposes i'm
mediately the military forces OF the
various states are combined to make
a general attack upon the soviets.
For this purpose he will have APP
proximately $4,000 troops to combat
Lenine and Trotzky. General Wran-
gel will also have the active CO.
operation of General Serninoff, now
In command of q large force in ST.
IBERIA.
So intense is the interest of the
United States in General Wrangel
that it sent Admiral Newton A. Nc
Gully and Col. w. A. Castle to in
spect his entire front. They have just
returned to Constantinople.
The political result of the propos-
ed new federation, it was explained
in official circles here today. will be
the practical restoration of the Ker-
ensky government under more
popular name. That government,
which Is still officially represented
by an ambassador, Bons Bakhmeteff,
in Washington. is the only one the
United States has recognized since
the days Of the czAr.
The United States and the allies
are convinced that the psychological
moment for the success of such a
federation has now arrived. The Lee

lieved at the state department to be
on the verge Of collapse.
information received by this gov
eminent today stated that the Rus
sian army recently defeated by the
Poles is refusing to fight against
General Wrangel. The entire soviet
forces are said to be rapidly disin-
tegrating and the next few weeks, it
was predicted, will witness the most
important developments in Moscow.
It was strongly Indicated in Off
cial circles that the United States
will morally support. If it does not
actually recognize, the United States

that the new government do It's ut

,nounced would not be permitted to
disintegrate.
That all the great powers are az
lively supporting the proposed nev
movement is made clear by the fact
that within the last few days the
entire allied diplomatic CORPS in
Picking has compelled China to re-
store Prince Kudacheff, the Keren-
Esky ambassador. to full power as the
official representative of Russia.

BY Associated Press.
Washington, Oct. 15.-Refined
chaulmoogra oil which experts of the
government public health service saw
has arrested the progress Of leprosy
is soon to be used by them in the
fight against tuberculosis. The ex-
periments with tubercular patients
will be conducted in Hawaii.
DR.. J. T. Mcdonald. experimenting
physician Of the leprosy investisa-
ton station at Kalihi In Honolulu,
with DR.. A. L. Dean, chemist and
president Of the University of
Hawaii, will start the fight against
tuberculosis, at the same time con-
tinuing their work against leprosy.
No concrete result Of the use of
the chaulmoogra oil in tuberculosis
cases has yet been reported to the
headquarters Of the public health
service here. but from their invest:-
cations with tubercular bacilli iso-
lated from a patient, Drs. Mcdonald
and Dean have hopes of successful
treatment Of patients themselves.
The bacill Of leprosy and tubercu-
1osis, according to government ~oi-
cntists. have been found to have SIM
far characteristics, and the fatty
acids of chaulmoogra oil seemingly
have proved poisonous to the 1epro-
sly bacillus. This is the basis for the
scientific hope that these acids like
wise will be deadly to the germ of
the white plague"
DR.. Mcdonald has not yet made
any formal report of his work with
the tubercular germs to officials
here, but unofficial reports from
Honolulu quote him as saying that
scientists at the University of Cali
fornia have discovered that the fatty
acids Of chaulmoogra oil are bacter-.
icida1 to an acid-fat bacillus. in
which class are the leprosy and tu-
berculosis bacilli. The Inference. ac-
cording to the doctor, is that what
has been done to end the dread Of
leprosy may possibly be repeated to
relieve the world Of tuberculosis.
