Governor Small
Ready for Trial

If Governor Small of Illinois is sin
cere in his statement that he desires
an early trial of the charges of fraud
and embezzlement of public funds for
which he is under indictment, provid-
ed it is not in Sangamon county,
there Is good chance that his inno-
cence or guilt will soon be determined.
The states attorney of Sangamon
county has offered to agree to a change
of venue and has said the prosecution
is ready to go to trial at once. Mr..
Small avoided arrest in Springfield
for week or so by the simple ex-
pedident of staying away, and then
returned to the capital and accepted
service from the sheriff under protest
and gave bonds. Now his lawyers
seem to be spreading net of legal
technicalities while he issues state
ments scoring the political enemies
and newspapers which, he says, are
responsible for the charges against
hira.

BILL PASSED
TO REGULATE
GRAIN EXCHANGE,

After hearing Senator Capper de-
nounce the Chicago board OF trade
as "the biggest gambling hell in the
world" the senate passed the bill for
federal regulation of grain exchanges.
Some of the more drastic features of
the bin as adopted by the house were
eliminated and the differences must
be adjusted in conference. AS passed
by the senate the measure seeks to:
Abolish transactions known as "in-
IDENTITIES" or puts and calls" by
levying a prohibitive tax.
Admit cooperative associations Of
producers to membership III grain ex-
changes.
Permit dealing in futures, but only
ignated by the secretary of agricul-
ture.
Empower the secretary of agricul-
ture to compel grain exchanges to
make regulations preventing manipu-
lation of the markets.
Require exchanges to exercise dill
gence preventing dissemination of
false crop reports.
Require exchanges to keep records
of all transactions for inspection by
the secretary of agriculture or de-
partment Of justice.
President Griffin of the Chicago
board of trade says that institution
sss'..ii IL good faith attempt to function
under the provisions of this law.
Another thing which the senate did
last week was to pass the Campbell
Willis bill prohibiting physicians from
prescribing beer as medicine. But
while the senators thus yielded to
the extreme drys, they also adopted
some amendments which change the
Volstead act in ways that are dis
pleasing to the prohibitionists. One
of these especially made the dry
leaders howl. 1t provides fine Of
81 600 and Imprisonment for one year
for prohibition agent or any gov
ernment employee engaged in enforce
ment of prohibition or any other law
who searches or attempts to search
property or the premises of any per-
son without search warrant.

Greco Turkish
Question Discussed

While waiting for the report of the
council discussed the Greco-Turkish
question and, on motion Of Mr.. Lloyd
George, adopted resolution declaring
the strict neutrality Of the allies with
out interference with trade. In the
course of this discussion Ambassador
Harvey, representing the United
States as an observer, replied to
question from Lloyd George that
Americas traditional policy gave trad
ers the right to sell arms to either
belligerent in the Near East.
Mr.. Harvey was questioned also con-
corning Mr.. Hoover's plans for the
relief of the Russians, and said he
would cable to Washington for full
information. The allied premiers
agreed that the Russians must be
helped, and a committee was named
to decide on the best means. 1t was
admitted that the cooperation of the
soviet government was Indispensable.
Lloyd George is willing to deal with
the soviet government, for that pur-
pose only, and BRAND thinks it best
for the allies to associate themselves
with the American Relief administra-
ton and enter into relations with the
Russian people through the assistance
of the Czechoslovak government.
Lenin and his colleagues are not help
ing matters much, for their appeals
for aid are directed only to the 'yrork-
Ing class" and continually revile all
non-s0vfet- ssgovernments. They have
released sevep of the Americans who,
were held prisoners in Russia and
have offered {uafantees that all other
Americans " Russia will be permitted
to leays<<fe country at their own con-
iSsnsence.

For five innings, Jack Lear, pitch

Aquetong players with t tantalizing

a comfortable lead of nine runs (11-2)

drew close enough to threaten.
The Solebury team took the field

team play, they are rapidly rounding
into a real base ball team.
The game was more interesting
from a spectators point of view than

General Wood Willing
to Accept Post

1t is reasonably certain that the re-
port of the Wood-Forbes mission to
the Philippines will be adverse to
granting Immediate independence to
the islands, but the Filipinos will be
considerably Modified by the an
nouncement that General Wood has
been offered the governor general
ship of the islands and has expressed
his willingness to accept the post.
The general was familiar with CON
ditions there even before he went on
the present mission, and if there is
any man in whose capacity and
sympathy the natives have full con-
fidence, that man is Leonard Wood.
In accepting the appointment his sense
of public duty leads him to give up the
lucrative and honorable position of
head of the University of Pennsyl-
vania to which he had been elected.
