GREATEST CORN CROP Is
FORECAST BY GOVERNMENT
Ninety Million Bushels More Will Be
Harvested Than Former Record
Yield of This Grain

Washington, Oct. S.-The 1920 corn
crop promised to be the largest in the
history of the country by more than
00,000,000 bushels.
A yield of 3,216,192, 900 bushels, COM
pared with the record production of
1924, 100000 bushels in 1912, was fore
cast yesterday by the department of
agriculture from Il condition of S9.1 on
October /. The yield would exceed
that of last year by practically 3OO,-
100000 bushels. Kansas, Nebraska and
Missouri will contribute practically ali
Of the increase.
Warm and dry weather, far from
frosts, aided the maturing of the late
crop and during the month the pros
poets for this year were increased by
100000 bushels. The frosts near the
end of the month did little damage and
the great bulk of the crop is now safe
on that score, government experts
said.
Spring wheat is threshing out poor
er than had been forecast because
e"A""sS plhhNlpdlly from rust nau
proved greater than anticipated. The
yield was estimated yesterday at, 49,
100000 bushels less than was forecast
a month ago. This loss reduced the
combined winter and spring wheat
yield to 750,64S,0O0 bushels, about $780,
100000 bushels below the big crop last
year. Threshings of oats confirm the
earlier forecast, the indicated yield
being 1,444362,OOO bushels, almost
2OO,OOO,0OO bushels more than last
years yield.
A bountiful crop of potatoes also
was forecast; the yield being estimat-
ed at 414,9S6,000 bushels, an increase
of 2,053,000 bushels since September /.

INVESTIGATION is STARTED
Plumbers, Stone Cutters, Steam Fit
ters and Ventilating Engineers
Alleged to Have Central Clear
ing House for Bids

New York, Oct. a. - Attempt to
show that master plumbers stone cut
ters and steam fitting and ventilating
contractors in greater New York have
an unlawful scheme to throttle COM
petition. was made here yesterday by
Samuel Untermeyer at the opening of
the legislative investigation of the al
legged building materials trust.
Mr.. .Untermeyer said he expected to
develop evidence that would show that
these contractors had associations"
and operated under a "code of prac-
tees" by which bids We're put through
central clearing house."
John P. Hettrick. attorney for the
greater New York, was subjected to
severe cross examination regarding
this alleged code. Hettrick also is
counsel for groups of stone cutters and
steam heating and ventilating contrac
tors. The witness testified that he
had realized from one to three per
cent on millions of dollars of contracts
that had passed through his office.
This money was paid him for furnish
ing insurance against mistakes and
the hundred evils surrounding the
business of his clients, he said.
The witness admitted that a system
of colOred cards was used to notify
contractors regarding the status of
various bids and the insurance risk"
involved
When Mr.. Untermeyer produced
stack of index cards, the witness rec
ognized them and exclaimed:
my mail has been robbed down at
my office. If you are using any of
my cards it is my duty to warn you.
hope nobody that robbed the United
States mail has turned anything over
to you"
81 don't know how they got here"
Mr.. Untermeyer said, "but you will
agree with me that they are sgnifi-
can't"
The witness then asked Mr.. Inter
meyer if the cards were "all blanks"
mot one" replied Mr.. Untermeyer,
smilingly, holding up card, adding:
"What is the item marked? Insur-
ance, isn't it? That is the way they
pay In their money These cards are
membership cards, aren't they?"
Eyes, that represents their legal fees
10 me-" the witness replied.
The index cards held up by the coun-
sci showed that Mr.. Hettrick number
ed his clients instead Of giving names.
which he said he was unable to d.
vulge.
When Mr.. Untermeyer announced
that he could furnish the names Of
some of the contractors represented
by the numbers, the witness volun-
teered to bring before the committee
the "key sheet" to the index number
system. Mr.. Untermeyer said that an
had been made ito create the
that some of the questions
asked one of the witnesses involved
a proposed attack on organized labor"
"This is not true" the statement
added. Nothing is further from our
thought, although it may become nee
essary in the course of the inquiry TO
expose labor just as it will be neces-
sary to expose unlawful combinations
and like abuses that infest the build
ng materials trade. all of which are
discouraging and adding TO
he costs of new construction"

Suffering from a hallucination that
a prominent Topeka business man is
throwing radium rays at her and
causing her untold suffering and
anguish. a well known Topeka wo-
man, divorced a year ago today, is
creating no end of concern to county
officers and attorneys whom she has
employed.
Mental experts have been employed
to effect a cure for the obsession un-
der which she is laboring. The wo-
man has gone to California on advice
of friends and attorneys in an effort
to escape the radium rays" and she
continues to complain that he ''is con-
stantly shooting those rays at her,
striking her in the eyes and throat
and causing eruptions on her body"
according to statements today by
county officers.
The strange feature of the affair is
that the woman never saw the Topeka
business man at any particular place,
so far as officials have been able to
learn, and her only acquaintance with
him was thru pictures in the news
papers and articles written concerning
him. The business man has been in
and imploring him to cease throwing
these rays, so officers say.
For months, her attorney reports,
she has suffered the greatest anguish
and worry possible in her belief that
she is constantly being prosecuted by
these "radium rays" On Tuesday af-
ternoon Sheriff Hugh Larimer called
at her home on the west side.
First he talked about business af-
fairs and reported the woman to be

reporting that reinforcements from the

The Japanese are in full military

the Japanese forces now in the ST.

Defeated Once.

Salina, Kan. April by a big ma

bonds for the erection of a memorial
community hall. The proposition had
been defeated at a previous special
county election by heavy rural opposi-
ton. Salina town boosters called a
special city election to be held the
date of the regular city spring cleo
ton. This eliminated the rural vote
and made the proposition strictly a
city one.
The city also voted 5000 bonds for
the purchase of a small park and
playground and voted to take over
control of Gypsum hill cemetery,
which has been under private control.

She was reported to describe the
terrible suffering she was enduring at
on her throat that day.
HE has a pipe in his pocket with
which he throws those rays" she in
formed Larimer. He threw them al
me clear to California
'sWel, let's go down and take that
pipe away" he said
Larimer went after the ''radium

vised the use of will power in throw
ing off the hallucination.
II have tried that and failed" she
said.
Finally a few months ago the attor-
ney took the woman to the business
mans office. The Topeka man hao
never seen the woman before in his
life. Both he and her attorney die
their very best to get the idea out OF
her mind but this attempt at a cure
has failed the same as all others.
Larimer and her attorney spent ar
hour in consultation as to what means
should be employed to dispose of the
unfortunate affair. The woman is cul-
tured, was former school teacher
and is worth several thousands of dol
lars received in alimony from her for
mer husband, a wealthy Silver Lake
farmer. She has excellent bushes:
ability and excepting for this halluci-
nation which has caused her to be
victim of fear and agony in re-
cent months she is one of the bright
