ties are working today in an effort to
solve the mysterious murder of Will

comatose state early today, it is
thought she may recover.
Slain in Their Sleep.
1t is believed the three members
of the Monroe family were murdered
Saturday night and that the girl,
Ardith, lay for two days in the same
bed with her sisters body and in the
same room with her dead parents.
Ardith's face was crushed by blow
from the slayer's club.
The heads of all three victims were
beaten almost beyond recognition.
There were no signs of a struggle.
The slayer presumably gained. en-

victims one by one. They apparently

however, he did not believe either of
them would commit murder.
Edith Monroe regained conscious
ness this morning, but could not give
clew as to how the Sayings had been
accomplished. Police made every
possible effort to obtain a statement
from her. but it was evident that the
attack occurred in the dark and that
tn child was struck down before she
knew what was occurring. The girl

quest was set for II o'clock this after
noon.
Found by Accident.
The murder was discovered when

Chicago, Sept 21.-WHEAT-Bears had
an advantage in the wheat market today
owing more or less to an official report, in
dicatinG that France has a surplus of 2S,-
000,o bushels over and above bread and
seed requirements, selling came chiefly
from commission houses, aggressive sup
port was lacking. Initidl quotations,
which ranged from Ac to C lower. with
to S1.315S, were followed by a decided set
back all around.
Export demand appeared to be lacking
and talk Of improved demand for flour
failed to bring about any important up
turn. The close was heavy. SIC to 3Mc
net lower with December SL241s to S124E
and AMY at $12s14 to S12S15.
CORN-New low record prices for the
season were reached in the corn market.
Predictions were current that the govern
ment crop report October 1 would be bear
ish. After opening unchanged to Il lower.
including December at 5215c to 52%c, prices
continued to sag.
Only transient rallies took place - The
market closed weak. 5kcsto Ike net lower
with December SIC to 521sc.
OATS-Oats were weak with other grain
starting unchanged to &c down and then
scoring further losses.
PROTISIONS-Strengt in the hog and
cotton markets gave little nrmness to pro-
visions.

Greeted by picked American troops,

General Pershing arrived from the
French liner Paris at 1O:45 o'clock and
after two hours packed with cere-

General Pershing was in fine health
and spirits. He said he had a fine
voyage. He was deeply impressed by
the warmth of the greeting. He gazed
with critical eye at the American
guard of honor, selected from the best
American troops in France. Then he
smiled and waved to the civilians who
were cheering themselves hoarse. 1t
seemed the whole city had turned out
to honor the famous American veteran.
