CHICAGO.
A AND pRov1s1oys.

Chicago. Sept 22.-Rallies took
place In the wheat market today after
initial decline. Signs OF some i'm
provement OF export demand wAs
largely responsible for the renewal OF
strength. It was said 100000 bushels
or more hadsbeen taken for Europe.
BeArtsh sentiment earlier was based
on evidence that there wal not pres
emit stringency as to supplies. Open
ing quotations which varied from un-
changed figures to lie lower, with De-
cember $1.24 Ia to 1.24 10 and Nav
$1.27 l-2 to $1.zS, were followed ~
slight further declines. and then an
upturn all around to above yester-
days finish.
Corn and : oats hardened with
wheat Corn after opening unchang-
Cd to f1-2 lower, including December
% to So 1-S, scored moderate general
gains.
Oats started is to 3-s up, Decena-
Der 81 SIS to a. "a, and continued to
ascend.
Lower quotations on hogs weaken
ed provisions.
Crop damage reports from the
northwest counted subsequently as q
bullish factor. The, close was firm i
to 1-2 higher, with December $1.25
"a to s1.zs and May 1923 1-2 to
$1.2S 3-4.
Corn: Iowa crop damages advises
attracted some attention later. the

Concerning reports on livestock

the following:

be the most convincing was Ship

as canner cows that were sent to- the
Fort Worth market. This class Of !
stock sells for the lowest price and
there was long freight haul = the
cattle actually netted to the owner
18 cents head, making for the 800
head $54
Senator Kendrick also stated that
it cost 1881 to ship carload Of wool
from Boise, Idaho, to Boston as.
against s417 in 1917, and that it is
cheaper for the Idaho wool producer

With agriculture prostrate and the
producer unable to ship his products
at a profit, the railroads enjoy meas
ure of protection under the present
transportation act, so highly praised
by President Hard ding, which guaran-
tees them a fled income Of from five
and one-haf to six per cent on the ag-
gregate value Of the property. S
Senator Kendrick (Dem., Wyo. in
troduced an mendment to the Rail
road Funding Bill, which would repeal
this provision, saying that to guaran-
tee incomes to the railroads and not
to the producers is to assume that
transportation IS more essential than
production.
He cited many cases to show that
the rates are practically prohibitive
under this guarantee. among them the
following:
Only 50 Cents per Ton.
Nine shipments Of hay from diff
ferent points in Nebraska to Omaha
during the first part Of the present
year showed the following results:
The selling price was $12.11; the aver

Reactionaries in Control Wreck
Happiness OF Republican Party

For the Republican party there was
no Merry Christmas and will be no
Happy New Year this season.
AS that stalwart Republican Con-
gresham, William r. Wood Of In
diana, said on the floor of the House:
Everybody is giving Congress he'll" "
while the executive branch Of the ad-
n,inistration is using a party club on
the Progressive Republicans to beat
them backinto line. g. .s
In Congressional circles, confusion
and inaction as to some legislation,
abandonment of the Railroad Fund
ing Bill, the shameless defense Of
Senator Newberry and the passage OF
a huge deficiency bill for the fiscal
year 1922 before the calendar year
1922 begins, mark the course Of the
reactionary Republicans. #
Berating Progressive Element.
In administration circles, the ex-
ecutive and Secretary Weeks are be-
rating the progressive element Of the
party, while Secretary Mellon, in an
official report, recommends further re-
duction Of the higher surtax, and Post
master General Hays continues his
discrimination, against ex-service men

in appointments to postmasterships.
On the day following the Presidents
message, Senator Pat Harrison (Dem.,
Miss.) innocently asked if there was
anything before the Senate, and, learn
ing there was not, said: II wanted to
inquire about the Railroad Funding
Bill. ). The President some time
ago submitted to the Congress very
urgent request to pass the Railroad
Funding Bill. The bill passed the
House and was reported out Of the
Senate Committee on Interstate Com
1nerce. !. Just before we adjourned
the Senator from Iowa stated that at
the very first opportunity, when Con-
gress reconvened in December, he
would call up the Railroad Funding
Bill and press it for consideration. We
have been in session three days, and
while I have seen the Senator from
Iowa on the floor, and nothing ap-
parently Of Importance before the
Senate, have not heard anything Of
the Railroad Funding bill. sa
Senator Curtis explained that he
understood the bill had been laid
aside because of the fact that it is

that they had agreed upon a verdict
finding the defendant guilty as charged
in the Indictment. The jury stood 8
to for conviction for long time, and
not until morning did the others come
over for conviction. English was
charged in the Indictment with having
committed rape on Alice Allen, %
years old, with the intellect of an infant
of 10 years, who is an inmate of the
feeble minded school at Faribault.
The crime for which English was in
dicted and convicted was committed
at Sleepy Eye, December 26, 1920
when Alice was at home visiting with
her father. The case went to the jury
Thursday afternoon at 4 o'clock.
Frank Prokosch, who was also in
dicted for the same offense committed
upon the person of Alice Allen in New
Ulm in January, 1921, was the first to
be tried and the jury, after deliberating
for less than two hours, brought in a
verdict of guilty, Wednesday afternoon
at 4:30.
Both defendants asked for stay
of execution, which was granted until
January IA, when a motion will be
ma de for new trial, which, if denied,
may mean that an appeal will be taken
to the State Supreme Court.
Court Pronounces Sentence.
Both defendants were sentenced by
Judge Olsen Friday afternoon. Pro-
kosch was given an indeterfninate
sentence to the St. Cloud reformatory
and English to the state prison at
Saltwater. The minimum penalty for
rape is seven years and the maximum is
80 years.
Girls Father Arrested.
In the course Of the trial it developed
that Henry Allen, the father, had also
carnally abused his own daughter and
he has since been arrested and he will
have his preliminary hearing at Sleepy
Eye today Wednesday,.
Since the commission Of the crime,
English has married a sister of the
abused girl and Prokosch has married
a daughter of William Haenze. Mrs.
Haenze is a step-daughter Of Henry
Allen.
Brown Pleads Guilty.
William Brown plead guilty to grand
larceny in the first degree and was
sentenced to two and a half years in
the st. Cloud reformatory. Brown
was charged with having, in the night
time, robbed the cash register in the
Bjorneberg garage in the village of
iHanska. The burglary charge against
him was dismissed.
The case of the State Of Minnesota
VS.. Theo. Kroening was continued un-
til the next term Of court.

on the Henry A. Netzke farm in
CRANKY township, about six miles
north Of Nicollet village, exploded,
Wednesday evening. The explosion
was heard for miles around. The
house was not set afre by the blast.
Three Persons Killed.
Mr.. and Mrs. Netzke and their only
son, Wilbert, aged IA, lost their lives
as result of the terrific explosion. The
former lived about two hours after the
accident, although not regaining con
sciousness before the end came. His
corpse was removed from the pit in
which the carbide apparatus was
housed. totally devoid Of clothing,
which had been blown from his body
by the force Of the explosion. Mr..
Netzke's face was terribly burned and
he was blinded by the blast. There
were not many bruises about his body,
probably due to the fact that he was
crouched down when the explosion oc-
cured.
Terribly Mutilated.
Wllbert was hurled a distance of four
rods from where he stood when the
blast occurred, striking tree in the
yard, while Mrs. Netzke's body lay
some 25 feet from the scene of the ex-
plosion, partially covered by cement
blocks from the foundation and other
debris from the wrecked house. Both
bodies were terribly mutilated. Mrs.
Netzke's skull and face were crushed
and shattered, her right leg was almost
totally shattered and she sustained an
ugly cash in the right side Of her
abdomen. The boys face was literally
slashed crossWise, a large piece of flesh
was torn away at the left knee and the
fingers Of both hands were partially
blown away. His chest was covered
with small wounds, evidently caused
by bits of concrete and gravel forced
against his body by the blast.
Smell Escaping Gas.
According to the story told by the
only surviving members of the family
the two daughters, Luella. and Olga,
both Of whom mira aculously escaped
serious injuries, although they were in
the kitchen at the time Of the explosion
the family was Just a bout to sit down to
the supper ia Bile shortly after s o'clock.
Wednesday afternoon, when they per-.
tceived the odor Of escaping gas. Mr.
Netzke Immediately went out to IN
svestigate, the pit containing the car
bide plant being located under the
porch on the east side Of the house.
1t is constructed Of concrete and the
porch floor served as roof. A trap
door in the porch floor gave access to
the pit.

TWO CHILDREN
ESCAPE DEATH ! |.
DAUGHTERS OF MR.. AND MRS
WALTER ScHLEUDER IN
BAD ACCIDENT.
AUTO RUNS OVER THEM, BUT
NO SERIOUS INJURIES
ARE INFLICTED.

An accident, which might easily,
have proven fatal for two little girls,
occurred on Minnesota street, just in
front Of the Revieq0 Office, Saturday
night at about 1920 o'clock, when a
REQ auto, driven by Mike Schugel Of
Cottonwood township, ran over Grace
and Ladonna Schleuder, aged six and
four years, respectively, the daughters
Of Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Schleuder Of
this city.
Miraculous Escape.
Although the sleds, upon which the
little girls were sitting at the time CT
the accident, were totally demolished,
the kiddies escaped without serious in
juries. The front wheels Of the auto
struck the sleds and fattened them
out. Little Ladonna, who was sitting
on the rear sled, was struck in the back
by one of the wheels and rendered un-

relief when they awaken on New
Years Day to bid 1922" hearty
welcome, for this bright and promising
youngster will usher in a decided relief
for these working employees in
the form of an abolition of the vexing
war tax on express shipments.
Save 81, 500, 900 Monthly.
But not alone will the express com
pany's employees benefit by this re-
turn to normalcy as regards the excise
on express shipments, but the public
will save approximately $1,5O0,OO0 in
cold cash every month, as a result of
the elimination of the war tax, accord
ing to George C. Taylor, president of
the American Railway Express Com
pany. An announcement to this eff
fact was made yesterday by A. O.
Bautz, the local express agent.
Total Tax. $l7,5O2,918.
The Revenue Act of 1921 eliminates
the war tax Of one cent on every 20
cents and fractions thereof in transpor-
tation charges on all express ship
ments. This tax, during the year
1920, amounted to $l7,502,918. The
average transportation charge for each
express shipment was approximately
$1.50, and the average war tax for
each shipment was eight cents The
elimination Of the tax, therefore, Mr..
Bautz states, will virtually amount to
a decrease in rates of little over five
per cent, as the shipper was obliged to
pay the war tax direct in addition to
the transportation charges. This
should have a tendency to stimulate
business and thereby accelrate the
rapidly improving conditions through
out the entire country.
Million Shipments Daily.
The American Railway Express
Company handles approximately L.
100000 shipments a day, OF nearly
400,000,000 shipments q year. The
elimination of the war tax will relieve
the employees Of the American Railway
Express Company Of an immense
amount Of labor which has beenlin-
volved in calculating, entering on way
bills and collecting the war tax, not to
mention the time and expense of check
ing and accounting entailed.
Filing of Claims.
The Treasury Department has re-
quested express carriers to advise all
claimants, who have claims pending for
'overcharges, or who file claims after
December 81, 1921, that claims for re-
fund Of tax should be filed separately
on Treasury Department Form No. 46,
with the commissioner of internal
revenue within four years from the
time the tax was paid, as claims are
barred by the statue of limitation if re-
ceived after such time.
Effective January 1.
Mr.. Bautz pointed out that, as the
