CHICAGO.-New upturns in the
price of wheat took place today owing
chiefly TO lack of selling pressure.
Frmness in foreign grain quotations
tended also to values here. Some at

in congress this morning to fix the
minimum price Of wheat at Sl.5O n

agreeable question or two, do we not
know of mortgages on stock though
no disclosure is made of the number

the assessor? BY the same token, is
not this deception practiced at times

age estimated at $750,000. The fire
burned nearly two hours before it
was finally placed under control.
Guards were placed around the
burned area by the military. Local
police and civilians were assisting

The largest loss was by the Ross
and Green and the Pendergast and
Smith companies, the latter a bank

concern. The structure was dyna-
mited in an effort to save other
buildings.
Other business houses and con-
Germs burned were restaurants and
news stands.
Most of the business buildings here
are of frame or brick. Few are more
than two stories. The Ross and
Green buildings, and the structure
across the street in which the tele-
phone offices were located are near
the railroad depot.

Burch Jury Fails
To Reach Verdict;
Retires For Night
TRepubIlcan A. p. Leased Wire

LOS ANGELES, Jan. 14.-Thirty
hours OF deliberation failed to bring
a verdict from ten women and two
men Jurors in the trial of Arthur G,
Burch Of Evanston, ILL.,, charged with
the murder of J. Bolton Kennedy,
broker, here Aug. 5, and the jury was
locked up for the night shortly after
10 o'clock.
The jury, unable to reach verdict
after "a hours deliberation, communi-
Gated with the judge today and he
then left for his home saying that he
would not return to court until $3.50
o'clock Monday morning unless the
jury sent for him.
The communication sent out at A
o'clock was the first to come from
the Jury in "a hours OF elaboration.
When it was announced that the jury
had a communication for the court 1t
was believed in many quarters that
verdict had been reached.
Judge Sidney N. Reeve and attor-
news in the case were summoned.
Judge Reeve read q communication
the foreman of the jury sent out. He
wrote a reply, put on his hat and
oyercoat, and told newspapermen that
he was going home and would not
come back to the courtroom until
$3.50 o'clock Monday morning unless
the jurors sent for him.
This was taken by attorneys to IN
dicate the jury had communicated TO
him an inability to agree, but that ne
refused to accept it.
At 5:45 d. m. the jury was taken
to dinner, and returned at Z: 80 p. m. =.

rRepublIcan a. p. Leased WIre1

WASHINGTON, Jan. 14--Facts and
figures together with IAN even dozen
unquestioned points in proof that the
eighteenth amendment is being en-
forced were made public tonight by
Prohibition Commissioner Haynes in
a statement on the eve Of the second
anniversary of the National prohibit
tion act, which became effective jan
uary 16. 1920.
The IL points cited as so out
standing that no attempt can be made
in denial" follow:
"Disappearance of the open sale.
abatement Of the open drinking in
public dining rooms.
Passing of the treating evil, which
was recognized as the greatest con-
tributing agency in the development
OF a liquor appetite.
CLOSING Of whiskey cure and simi-
lar institutions.
Increased savings accounts.
Record breaking Christmas busi-
ness.
Decreased drunkenness.
"Prohibitive prices of bonded
liquor for beverage use.
Dangerous character OF Illicit
whiskey.
"Surrepetitiousness Of present day
drinking.
wall Of bowling minority who
would go to the length of undermining
the constitution to nullify an amend
ment which their action demonstrates
is in actual effect.
Changed attitude Of former hos
tile statesmen, political leaders and
the press"
Mr.. Haynes declared that the pro-
hibition amendment was being en-
forced to an even greater extent than
had been anticipated and predictions
| of opponents had not been borne out
by actualities.
The chief cause OF non enforce
ment," he said, was the appointment
or wet officials and smuggling. This
is being corrected by the appointment
of officials who are in sympathy with
the law and by serving notice on our
neighboring countries that their flags
are being used to protect smugglers."
He declared enforcement would
henceforth be a much easier under
taking for various reasons, including
the attitude of the public, curtailing
OF sources of supply, closer co-opera-
ton of all enforcement agencies and
the poisonous death dealing char
acter OF practically all Illicit liquor
on the market"
Arrests for drunkenness, he de-
clared, have decreased 60 per cent;
liquor Withdrawals have been reduced
90 per cent while last years impor-
tation or liquor was one-half of one
per cent OF the total consumption of
lquor In America the year before
prohibition.
Seizures Of liquor he estimated at
95O,OOO gallons of distilled spirits and
wines, while the estimated value of
property seized during the past year
was $12,9O7. 900. The miscellaneous
property seized consisted of 900 auto
mobiles, 40 boats, 26 wagons and
carriages, 45 horses and mules, one
airplane, five motorcycles, $500 in
cash. ten tracts of land and seven
stocks of merchandise.
Under court proceedings, Mr.
Haynes said, there were 10000 fed
eral indictments, 1900 pleas of gull
ty, 21,000 convictions and $50 ac-
quittals. approximately S3,000,000
was collected by the prohibition bu-
reau, he added, while the total of
assessments was estimated at S57,-
500 900.
Expenses were placed at approx
mately $6,274,523.
Upwards of 800 brewers have been
investigated and charged with viola
ton. he declared, while some public
officials have been indicted and
some have gone to jap
