contained in report to the State De-

An extra session OF the Mexican
Congress has been called to name a
provisional executive, who, under the
terms of the published programme of

Adolfa de la Huerta. preliminary

TO arrive in the capital next week and
take charge of affairs until the pro.

TIE support given Villareal's candi

American officials because OF its pos

the proposed government.
Villareal, once governor of the state
OF Nueyo Leon and prominent in mill

years. living in Ell Paso, Texas. Rev
dictionary agents here declared that
during that period he had greatly
modified his previous extreme views
regarding labor and capital. 1t was
suggested, however, that his selection
as provisional president would pre-

TO UNITE BUYERS.
Regulation of Wheat Market by
Government Recommended.
Trade Board Declares Wheat
Decline Less Than Others.

Washington. Dec. 20.-A large vol
ume of future trading in wheat is
mere gambling" involving great eco
nomic waste and should be stopped by
congressional regulation. the federal
trade commission wrote President Will
son today.
The commissions communication
constituted its report in reply to the
Presidents request for a study of the
causes of falling wheat prices. The
communication advised the president
he has no power to prevent importa-
ton of foreign wheat as demanded by
farmers hit by falling prices.
It was recommended that govern
ment selling machinery be set up to
deal with centralized wheat buying
agencies now maintained in the United
States by foreign governments to pro-
tect the American farmer against pos
sible price manipulation by these
agencies.
Seven factors combined to reduce
wheat prices in the United States, the
commission reporSed. These factors
were given as:
Arc Seven Factors.
l. A world wheat crop bigger than In
2 Concentration of foreign government
buying IN one commission which bought
heaving IN the spring but later reduced It's
Unprecedented importations from
Canada this fall. coupled with a discount
(. The record breaking yield of corn
and oats which helped depress wheat prices.
9. Slackening Of the domestic demand
g. General decline of all commodity
prices. and,
Z Change in credit conditions with the
resulting disposition of distributors to re-
frain from accumulating or maintaining
usual stocks until conditions are stab
wheat has declined in price less
than many commodities" the commits
sion wrote, land less than most agri-
cultural products on the basis of
wholesale prices.
THE decline in prices would appear
TO. be in part due to countrywide and
worldwide conditions.
Need Hedging Feature.
while the commission believes
speculation in wheat futures is not an
indispensable part of the marketing
process and may sometimes be highly
injurious, the commission is not in
this respect passing upon the whole
subject of future trading.
Future contracts may have a legit-
innate use for hedging in this connec-
ton, il is claimed that future trad
ing performs an insurance function
where ordinary insurance methods
would not be practicable. and that I'M
due restriction of future trading such
as would deprive the grain trade of
this service might result in grain deal
ers requiring larger margins and con-
sequently result either in lower prices
to the farmer of higher prices to the
consumer.
There is a large volume of future
trading that is mere gambling, it ap-
pears, which involves great economic
waste. The remedy for this lies in
congressional action. TO prevent trad
ing which is essentially gambling."

Clarkson was travelling out of Gin

work, and return.
The railroads in Kansas were then

made its extent of rails as far west

Nearly starved, the two prisoners who
esca pied thru d sewer at the. peniten-

today by the railroad station agent at
Bonnotts Mill, Mo-, according to
prison officials = :
The men, Ray c. Cunningham, of
st Louis, and Ben NJ Hogan of Kan
sas City, crawled thru a 20-inch sewer
pipe 500 feet long in one of the most
daring attempts. to gain their freedom.
Tired and fanished, from exposure
and lack of foods, the pair entered
the town of Bonnotts Mill, about ~
miles east of here, early today, ac-
cording to the story told at the prison.
They were caught by the Missouri
Pacific station agent there and re-
turned to- Jefferson. City. t..
The escape thru the pipe which car
ried all of the Sewerage and waste of
the prison to the Missouri river, was
said by the officials to be one of the
most daring feats, as it means crawling
sitting. At one point befores enter
ing the river, the sewer desee4ds al
most perpendicularlys for several feet.
Two other convicts made am sf7
fective escape from the prison by the
same route on October rs, and are
still at large. Another pair that
started to accompany them turned
back after the first called back a warn.
ing about the passage. Cunningham
and Hogan entered the sewer Wednes-
day by breaking the lock on the trap
which covers the entrance in the floor
of the dining hall. Six inch pipe has
been substituted for the 20-inch pipe
to prevent further escapes by the sewer
route ..sas -
