BY Associated Prass.
Chicago, May 26.-Altho prices for
May delivery Of corn showed down
ward trend today, strength continued
to develop in tho more active options,
July and September. Weakness Of
May was due to a trade ruling that
because Of the breakdown Of railroad
transportation no penalty would be
exacted from defaulters on May con-
tracts. I
Persistent meagerncss Of receipts
formed the chief bullish factor as to
the market otherwise. Initial quota
lions. which ranged from u cent de-
cline to IN cents advance, with July
at $1.e5 to 1851 and September ut
$1.54A to $155, were followed by a
moderate setback for May and de-
cided gain for later months.
Scarcity OF offerings later and
statements by Herbert Hoover re-
garding the prospective food situa-
ton. led to uneasiness on the part
Of shorts. July. in particular. bulged,
and May also advanced. The close
was strong to 2k to AZ cents net
higher. with July at I1.69A to
$1:69% and September at s1.57h to
s1.57A.
Commission house buying made
oats firm. After opening unchanged
to q cent to " cent lower, the mar
ket scored a general upturn.
Provisions.
Provisions were inclined to harden
with grain and hogs. Demand, tho,
was not urgent.

IOWA HOGS ICED.
Ames College Shipment Shows Value
of Care.

Chicago, May 26. - Precautions
taken In the shipment of two cars
OF heavy packing hogs to Chicago
by the Iowa Experiment Station over
last week end show what can be
done to avoid loss. There were lot
hogs in the shipment. They were
loaded at the experiment station
farm at supper time Saturday and
left Ames shortly before midnight.
Saturday was about the hottest day
this season.
The shipment arrived in Chicago
Monday morning and came thru in
fine shap. c. c. Culberton. station
superintendent, and r. b. Human
accompanied the hogs. They said
the cars were bedded with sand, and
800 pounds Of ice was hung in six
sacks in each car just above the
hogs. There was some ice left on
arriving at the yards. In very hot
weather the station men have hung
1000 pounds of ice in each car, and
usually get to market without the
loss Of an animal.
ho SiiplAieiI Was SOtu TO SWl1L q
Co. and will be dressed and hung
up today, and then checked by their
experts. They will examine the car
cases for color, quality. etc.. taking
warm and cold weights and noting
whether the meat is soft or hard.
Packers have much trouble with soft
pork. The hogs averaged $40 pounds,
and a full account of the test will be
issued soon.
Part of the bunch was fed to de-
termine what grains can be profita-
bly, used as a substitute for corn. All
the common farm grains were used,
besides milo and kafir. Some Of the
hogs were fed to find what feeds can
be used to supply protein best. Soy
bean meal was fed in this test, and
several other feeds, but none showed
up with tankage. The only way the
station has been able to beat tank
age is to feed corn germ meal with
it.
Mr.. Human has been specializing
on sheep at Iowa State College, and
goes to New York state upon gradu-
alton, to carry on sheep Investiga-
tons.

Rochester. N. Y. May 26.-Pearl
Odell.. wife of James Odell who was
recently convicted here for the part
he played in the murder OF Edward
]. Kneip on the night OF January
last. was placed on trial here today
charged with Kneip's murder. The
case is being watched with great in
terest and is sure to be sensational.
VIII Mrs. Odell. whose husband
Is now awaiting execution at Sing
Sing. corroborate his story on the
witness stand that his wife killed
Kneip In his presence and with his
consent because Kneip had previous
ly wronEed her?
The story of the killing as told by
Odell and substantiated by his wife
Is as follows:
an 1918 met Pearl Beaver at the
home of friend in Rochester and tho
did not see much Of her during the
following months In the autumn of
1919 our friendship ripened into love
and on the 18th Of last December we
were married. Before the wedding

her acquaintance with Kneip and
said that he had ruined her while
she was under the influence Of some
doped chocolate candy. After our
marriage Pearl was accosted on the
street by Kneip and he spoke slight
ingly Of her character to her friends.
DECIDED TO PUNISH
kNEiP HIMSELF
IT made up my mind that he should
be punished for bounding her the
way he did. and with this end in
view I went to the factory where he
was employed on the 7th of January
and told the night superintendent
that l was a detective and that ]
had come to arrest Kneip on a SER
ious charge. Kneip was sent for and
I led him out to my step fathers au-
tomobile where Pearl was sitting. He
did not know me and made no pro-
test whatever at being taken. From
the factory drove to my step faith
er's home, where Pearl and I were
then living. and had a conference
with the family about what should
be done. We decided to take Kneip
to police headquarters. as he ad-
mitted before witnesses. members o!
the family. that he had wronged
