STRAINED CONDITIONS
HAVE BE,ARISH EFFECT


CHICAGO, March .11.--(A. P.)--
Strained industrial conditions had a
beArish effect today on wheat: Prices
closed heavy. ! ia to 2 1-2c. net low
er, with March s1.66 IL and May
s1.57 IL to 1.57 s3-4. Corn lost 1-2c
to 5-S@7-sc and oats s-S@ 1-2 to "a
OTIS. In provisions the outcome was
unchanged to 10 lower.
Despite temporary bulges due to re-
vival Of talk about crop damage by
green bugs and to word Of some new
export business. the market displayed
no sustained buying power. and there
was active selling pressure. Confi-
dence by bulls seemed to be impaired
by the evident prospect of wage diff
ferenees on large scale. In addition
to a threatened strike in the meat
packing industry, notice was taken of
walkout Of boatrnen at New York
and of possible labor trouble among
the flour mills at Minneapolis. Lower
prices, however, came only after an
nouncement that another OF the larg-
est railway system7 had taken steps
toward characterization Of wages
The market closed at practically the
days bottom hgures..
Corn and oats declined in sympathy
with wheat.
Packers selling more than counter
balanced in the provision market the
stimulus of higher quotations on hogs.

ST. PAUL INDICATED.

LONDON, March 11.-Men trans

remarks about women TO suit their

X. Raleigh to the Women's Freedom

The apostles remarks about wom-

translation and it could be proved BY
the removal of few dots and commas
that St Paul did NOT: Forbid wom-

their husbands; insist that for ever
and aye. whatever the fashion of the
country. they should wear hats in
church. say that they should never
wear jewelry and fine clothes.

so far failed. He maintains his in
nocence to the last, and denies all
knowledge of the murder with the
exception that he claims Miller told
him that he (Miller) had killed
Smith.
So far as is known the Smith case
is in no way related to the Long
necker case, and unless subsequent
events prove a relation, this case
still remains a mystery, but in the
Smith case it is evident that one Of
the two men under arrest commit

both will rest under the charge Of
murder in connection with that
case.

The mystery surrounding the murder OF
Henry B. Smith, young Beaver county, Okla
homa, farmer, is in a fair way to be solved.
With the arrest of Harry G. Ellis about s
O'Clock Monday evening, the first chapter of
the final solution was written and the officers
put in possession Of sufficient facts that the
case is practically unravelled.
Harry K. Ellis was brought to the Liberal
Hospital several days ago for an operation for
appendicitis Shortly previous to this time the
finger of suspicion in connection with the muir
ders had pointed toward him. Three men came
up from Hooker, two garage men and a barber,
and all three identified him as the man who left
Smiths car at the Hooker garage.
Frank W. Miller another farmer, was ar
rested in connection with the crime last Thurs
day at Hooker by Special Rock Island Officer
Brice Rezeau and Sheriff H. w. Bridgewater Of
Beaver county They picked him up just as he
was preparing to board the train for Old Mex
leo and they got hinlain the nick of time When
arrested he denied any guilt in the affair, but
implicated young Ellis. According to Miller
Ellis was at his house three times the night of
the murder and that he noticed blood on the car
but did not mention it to Ellis.
1t is reported that neighbors noticed blood
on the car-and questioned Ellis, who said that he
had been hunting rabbits and got the car bloody
in that manner.

Ellis, who is still confined to the
hospital as the result Of an opera.
tion, is under heavy guard, and this
guard will be maintained until such
time as his condition permits his
being taken to jail, which may be sew

throughout, according to the per
