W. II. CARTWRIGHT
CASE CONTINUED
ON STATES PLEA

W. H. Cartwright, who is alleged
to have been connected with the
SIS, 900 robbery Of the Commercial
Savings bank Of Moline last Au-
gust, will have his case taken d.
rectly to the grand jury this week.
Cartwright had asked that his
case be heard in police court be-
fore the grand jury met, and Satur-
day afternoon he appeared before
Magistrate Gustafson, but the
journey Saturday from Rock Island
to Moline had the same result As
all the others.
The alleged bank robber was
represented Saturday AFTERNOON by
T. P. Sinnett. After a consultation
with his attorney, Cartwright de-
manded a hearing, but neither side
had any witnesses.
A weeks continuance was asked
by NJ. J. McEniry, assistant states
attorney. According to the police,
this is the first time the state has
asked for a delay. Magistrate Gus
tafson granted the petition.
1t is probable that local authori-
ties will drop the matter for the
time being if the grand jury fails to
return an indictment. However, II
is not likely that Cartwright will be
released, for 1t is said that he is
wanted in several other cities.

sence Of deliveries ON May con-
tracts brought about a sharp up
turn IN wheat prices today. Il was
expected that the visible supply
total this afternoon would show a
fair decrease, and this fact served
further to make shorts anxious.
Most OF the trading, however. was
In small lots. Opening quotations,
which varied from UNCHANGED fig-
ues to INC higher, with May 49, to
1.32% and July 1.08 to 1.0SA, were
followed by decided gains all
around.
The bulge checked export bust
ness to some extent, but the fact
that foreigners continue to take
wheat from the country in the face
Of the unfavorAble exchange rate
was q bullish influence. The mar
ket closed unsettled. 1c to 3hc net

Corn advanced for much the same
reason as wheat, May deliveries
proving small. After opening sc
