All Iowa Crops
Are Slow

Des Moines, Ia, May 22.-Farm
work was again stopped and has not
been generally resumed on account
of the heavy rains of the last week,
and not more than 80 per cent of the
corn of the state is planted, accord
ing to the weekly weather and crop
bulletin issued by Charles D. Reed
of the local station.
Some corn is rotting in the field.
Practically none is up yet and much
ground remains to be plowed in many
parts of the state.
Sunshine averaged about 35 per
cent or half the normal amount,
while the rainfall was two inches,
twice the normal fall. Frosts on the
mornings of the 18th and 14th did
no serious damage.
Fruits are in full bloom in the
southern district and buds are begin
ming to open in the northern district.
Grains of all kinds and gardens
are making slow progress. Potatoes
planted six weeks are just showing
the rows.

TTON-NEXT MEETING OF
GRAND LODGE AT
ABERDEEN

The grand lodge meeting of the

ing the largest delegation present at

upon large number of candidates
Twenty-Five members of that order

tion of honor fell to one of our citi-
zens. DR.. A. E. Clough was elected
on the board of trustees whose duty

Home. A grand ball concluded the
regular business of the lodge

Phillip, president; Mrs. Eta Martin,
of Sioux Falls, vice-president; Mrs
Hattie o. Brown, of Belle Fourche,

BRIDGE BREAKS;
THREE IN PERIL
NARROW ESCAPE FROM DEATH
WHILE CROSSING CHEYENEE
IN AUTO

Edgemont, May 22.-To have a
bridge collapse under them while
crossing it in an automobile, and es-
cape with their lives, was the thrill
ing experience of Mrs H. L. Gibboney
of Lead, and Mrs. F. V. Babcock, of
Deadwood, who were accompanied by
Harvey Meyers, as driver.
The car had just started to cross
the bridge, which spanned the Chey-
enne river, when with a report like
that of the largest cannon the bridge
broke in the center and dropped into
the river, 80 feet below. Fortunately
the bridge did not part at the point
where it broke, stringers and cables
holding it together.
To this fact the occupants of the
automobile owe their lives, for had
the collapsed center separated they
would have been precipitated to GER
tain death in the river and large
bed of quicksand which exists under
the bridge.
When the center of the bridge col
lightning speed into the pit of the "
shape in which the wrecked bridge
remained. When it stopped the swirl
ing waters of the river and the quiv-
ering quicksand was but a few feet
from the occupants of the catapulted
car.
Some railway employees who
chanced to be near witnessed the ac-
cident and went to the rescue Of the
morooned women and man. They
were rescued from their peculiar po-
Isition by means of block and tackle,
this being found to be the only means
of getting them safely upon dry land.
The two women and Meyers es-
capped with only slight bruises. The
car was badly crushed when it was
brought to stop after it speeded
down the declivity into the pit form
ed by the collapsed bridge.

SUGAR PRICES NOT
DUE To SHORTAGE
PRESIDENT OF NATIONAL PRE-.
SERVES ASSOCIATION SAYS
NO SUGAR SHORTAGE,

New York, May 22.-The Nation
al Preserves and Fruit Products asso-
citation announced mere that it's mem
bers will stay out of the sugar mar
ket until the price of sugar comes
down from its present high level. The
association claims to represent IS per
cent of the manufacturers of the
country who make jams, jellies and
preserves.
The so-called shortage of sugar
does not exist" read a statement by
Marcus Blakemore, president of the
available supplies with the help of
the department of justice and repre-
sentaives of the refining industry
Present prices represent pure in
flation, caused through boarding by
sugar spectators"
He said that with the sugar shat
has already been received in this
country and the amounts contracted
for and available on the Cuban mar
ket an excess of more than 100000
tons over last years total consump-
ton is in sight.
1t is the hope of the association,
Mr.. Blakmore said, to start nation
wide movement among manGfactur-
ers using sugar and also among the
housewives of the country aimed at
the present high prices.
''If the housewives want to help
they should begin by using up the
small supplies of 25 to 100 pounds
which most of them have stored
away" he said. LAS soon as the deal
ers see that buying has ceased, prices
will tumble and the enormous stocks
now stored in warehouses and freight
cars will become available at reason
able figures. Foreign countries which
never before shipped sugar to the
United States are now invading the
American market content to deprive
themselves of their normal supply in
order to profit by the high prices
this country is willing to pay"

Boston, May 22.-The price of
wool slumped today, break of froIn

WEATHER AND CROP
WEEKLY SUMMARY SHOWS OATS,
BARLEY AND SPRING WHEAT
COMING ON NICELY.

Huron, May 22.-The following is
summary of weather and crop con-
ditions in South Dakota for the week
ending May 1S:
Continued cool weather prevailed
during the past week and there was
deficiency of sunshine At the be-
ginning of the week there was heavy
rainfall in the central and southern
parts of the state and light rainfall
in the extreme northern part.
Later the weather was mostly fair
though light scattered rain fell on
the Is and II. Due to the heavy
rain the ground remained wet
throughout the week, greatly retard-
ing plowing and seeding.
Rye is generally reported to be
doing well, but winter wheat Is only
fair.
Oats, barley and spring wheat are
coming on nicely and are of good
color, but these crops have been
drowned out to some extent in low
places by standing water.
Corn planting made slow progress,
though in some northern counties
this work was less retarded.
Some potaties were planted and in
few localities this work was COM
pleted. In the southeastern part OF
the state potatoes are coming up.
Truck crops are growing slowly.
Meadows and pastures are growing
nicely, but they are still backward.
Stock is now feeding on pastures and
is now generally holding its own.

NEGRO POLICEMAN
IS PUT ON TRIAL
CHICAGO OFFICER ACCUSED OF
BETRAYING GIRL WHO DIED
IN HOSPITAL.

Chicago, May 22.-Dorsey Cham
bliss, negro policeman, and two other
negroes, went on trial in criminal
court today in connection with the
death of Bertha Weibeck, 16-year-old
white girl of Pawnee Rock, Kan. The
defendants are charged with abduc-
ton and seduction.
Bertha Weibeck, aged 16, came to
Chicago in the summer of 1919 from
her home in Pawnee Rock, Kan. to
earn her living
Five months later she died in a
Chicago hospital and in death bed
statement accused Dorsey Chambliss.
chicago negro policeman, of betray-
ing her into a negro dive where she
was visited by men of his race. Phy
slclans claim her death was due part
ly to the sufferings she underwent
during her five months imprison
ment, and partly to pneumonia.
On March 10, 1920, the grand jury
indicted Chambliss, Emma Ross. own
er of the place where the girl had
been held a prisoner, and James Muir
ply, one of the negroes who is al
legged to have been taken by Cham
bliss to visit the girl.
The indictments were brought
about as a result of an investigation
by Governor Allen, of Kansas. who
personally came to Chicago to de-
mand justice for the dead girl. Gov
ernor Allen charged that political in
fluences were at work to protect
Chambliss and preveHe his trial. and
he carried his appeal for action di-
rect to Gov. Frank O. Lowden of IL
linois, and Attorney General Brun-
dage.
Officials here said they were han
dicapped in their investigation by the
fact that the girl had died Just be-
fore the grand jury began its probe.

bed statement made to doctors in the
city hospital.
According to the girls story, she
and chum, Catherine Schauer, left
Pawnee Rock and came to Chicago
because her family was poor, her
brother was in the navy, and money
which she might earn was needed to
help support her invalid father.

railroad station here while she and
Miss Schauer found rooming house.
On her way back to the station for
the trunk she lost her way. Seeing
Chambliss, a policeman in uniform,
she asked her way. Chambliss, she
said Offered to take her to the sta
tion, but instead took her to a negro
dive, where she was held prisoner
Later she was transferred to the Ross
woman's home, she declared.
One day she succeeded in writing
a note to her chum and dropped it
out of window. Some one picked up
the note and mailed it. The Schauer
| girl notified the police and Bertha
Weibeck was rescued in a police raid
on the Ross woman's home.
She was sent to the city hospital,
suffering from disease as result of
her experience. Physicians state that
her condition for a time improved,
but then she contracted pneumonia,
and because of her weakened condi-
tion, died. Her mother summoned
from Pawnee Rock, Kan, arrived
four hours after the girls death.
The investigation of the case lag
ged for several weeks until Governor
Allen, SO Chicago women's clubs and
other organizations took a hand and
demanded speedy action.

department.

London, May 22.-Cabled reports
of slump in prices in the United
States are featured in newspapers
here and are being read with enor-
nous interest as they excite the hope
that conditions across the Atlantic
may be reflected in Great Britain.
Some writers of economics, however,
hold out little hope that this will be
the result. maintaining the new con-
ditions in America are more likely
to have a contrary effect here.
Unofficial statistics show the peo-
pie are spending less while British
banks are assuming a more careful
attitude. There has been a down.
ward trend in some food prices here
recently and, although these are for
the most part seasonable, the public
is building some hope on the circum-
stances. Managers of large stores in
London admit the sale of luxuries is
declining.

ResoIute Distances Challenger

Sandy Hook, July 21-The Ameri- can cup defender Resolute won the third race of the America Cup con- test by about two hundred yards af- ter overcoming considerable lead gained by the Shamrock during the earlier stages of the race.
 The vessels started at one o'clock. The Shamrock crossed the line two seconds ahead of the American vessel and maintained her lead nearly an hour. But by two o'clock the Reso- lute had overtaken and passed her and was two hundred yards ahead. At this juncture the wind increased 10 ten knots and sent the sloops dashing over the course at lively pace. For a time the lee rails of both vessels were awash as they sped along the second leg of the thirty mile course. At the fifteen mile post the Resolute led by two minutes and was good half mile ahead at the twenty mile stake. Then the Shamrock began gaining and continued to cut down her opponents lead slightly to the finish line.
