der guard. He paid not only the
expenses OF the hospital service.
but for the guard, too. Billburg

c. E. Dietz, his attorney, informed
Judge n. A. Larson that the ex-

In the local market yesterday caus-
ed good commission house buying.
Locals opposed the advance for q
time but the buying was broad
enough to force these sellers to
cover.
December was bid up sharply by
shorts but at $1.27 offerings were
free enough for all purposes and
above $1.2s for May the leading
long was q good seller. Red wheat
premiums were on &c today and
hard wheat was easier Minneap-

Of some of the continental Euro
pean countries will be complete
chaos. This would reflect back on
this country as those countries are
expected to absorb our surplus
grains for the next six months.
The action of corn was much the
same as wheat. Locals bought
early and the big longs sold the
corn on the bulge but the market
was able to digest the offerings.
Philadelphia advised that exporters
had cleaned up the com held there
and they would now have to go
west for more. Receipts were

bushels of contract corn were

Oats followed other grains. Com

agreement go up and down. the Brit

Proves Dilemma.
The dilemma Is one of the most
perplexing that has ever faced the
American government. The execu-
tive has the power to negotiate
agreements with foreign govern
ments which do not commit the
United States to certain obliga-
ti0ns. II 1t had not been for the
law passed by congress which spe-
officially requires submission to
both houses there would not be any
difficulty. 1t Is broad question
rally whether the executive could
MT make an agreement anyhow
covering the funding of the debt
hut In the face of what congress
has specified, MIR. Harding will not
try il. He will either ask for an
amendment To the existing law
when It is apparent the negotia-
lions have reached a vital point or
he will ask for broad powers be-
fore the negotiations begin. In
that case he viii have to keep the
british delegation waiting while
plenary powers are obtained from
eengress.
The negotiations arise from the
fact that when the i've billions were
borrowed by Great Britain. only a
promissory note was given in re-
rurn. That note has now to be
converted into bonds with definite
maturity date and a fixed rate Of
interest. Otto kahn's proposal
that the interest for few years be
deferred altogether or that the rate
be made very low &: the start and
gradually :c-.sSsed meets with q
eroo deal OF favor here.
While very little progress has
been made in the negotiations with
the French government. on the
debt question. the feeling prevails
that the agreement with the British
will stand as . sort of precedent or
exAmple and that when once Eng
land and the United States have
arranged their debt difficulties
satisfactorily the negotiations with
the other governments will be sim
pllfed.
Incidentally there is already q
good deal OF discussion here as to
what shall be done with the Ave
btllion, dollars OF bonds to be given
To the United States government, by
the British government. There are
0Ose who advocate refandins
campaign whereby the bonds are
sold to the public at large, the
American government thus turning
into the treasury i've billions o!
dollars with Which to redeem some
Of the Liberty loan bonds which
now carry y higher interest rate
than the British bonds would carry
when offered to the public On such
an operation. the American govern
ment might save y good deal Of
money but the opponents Of the
plan point out that the British
beads wouldn't be purchased Eener-
ally unless they were guaranteed CT

GRANEY MARKS PASSING
OF VETERAN FROM GAME


CLEVELAND. July 1.-THE un-
conditional release Of Jack Graney.
Cleveland Indians o~utfieider. marks
the passing nj of the American
league OF M of its veteran players
as far as service is concerned as
well as the dean of the Cleveland
club. Graney's release was given
him by the club management to en-
able him to become manage OF the
De Moines club OF the Western
league. An clubs In the league
waived on Graney as an act Of
courtesy. in view of his long serv-
ice IN tho league.
Grancy had been a member Of the
Cleveland club continuously since
1910. He first joined the team in
1907 as a pitcher. but being unable
to control the ball was farned out
TO Columbus. StiiI bong unable to
acquire control he was sent to
Portland where he became an tut
fielder II was In this capacity that
he returned to Cleveland.
For a number OF years he was the
leadoff man for the Indians and
was considered one of the best in
the game because OF his ability to
wait out the pitcher or othe-~ise
get on base He also was consid-
cred a great outfieider. most OF the
time playing the "sun field" Twice
he led the league in getting bases on
balls.
Graney became q substitute in
1919. During the latter part of that
