THE DISTRICT ATTORNEY.

Los Angeles, Feb. 15.-Mack Sen
net, prominent motion picture pro-
ducer, was uestione dearly today by
District Attorney Woolwine's staff

and offered every assistance in help
ing to solve the mystery. Eight al

GETTING BACK TO
NORMAL BUSINESS
U. S. ECONOMIC SURVEY SHOWS
CONTINUED BETTERMENT
AND SPIRIT OF OPTIMISM.

Washington, ID. c., Feb. 15.-De-
spite further decline of business
activity during the months of De-
cember and January, there was a
continued improvement in ''funda-
mental condition and a spirit of OPP
timism prevails in practically every
industry, and that augurs well for
the future" according to a review of
the economic situation in the United
States contained in the survey of
current business, issued today by
the department of commerce.
Prices have remained relatively
stable for the past six months, the
review continues, and that is consid-
cred of fundamental importance for
business recovery" The buying pub
lie is gradually coming to realize, it
says, that the "big vertical drop in
prices is over" There probably will
be further gradual recessions as bus
mess is done on a more economical
basis and margins are reduced, 1t
adds. but on most commodities it is
believed that these movements, will
be spread over a relatively long per-
iod of time.
Under a preliminary summary for
January the iron and steel industry
is shown to be still without definite
trend" Textiles likewise have shown
little change.
The automobile industry showed
the usual seasonal dullness during
the month.
Grain and live stock showed some
depression during the first week In
January, but has since shown grad
ual improvement.

HOG FEEDING
|SPROF|TABLE
FARMER CAN THUS GET LARGER
RETURN FOR HIS CORN.

Sioux City, Feb. 15-The ques-
ton of whether corn at existing pri-
ces can be fed to swine with ade-
quate profit to the farmer seems co
have been determined in the affirma
tive by the authorities at the Iowa
experiment station at Ames, Ia In
vestigation is declared to have pro-
duced unquestioned results.
This question of the use of corn
has Zen discussed throughout Iowa.
The inquiry was conducted by G. G.
Culbertson, chief Of animal husban-
dry at the experiment station. 1t Is
explained that during the recent war
period it was expected 100 pounds
of pork would bring as much on the
market as 13 bushels of corn. When
corn sold at So a bushel pork was
supposed to be worth $26 per 100
pounds.
"At present corn is selling near
SO cents bushel, with hob prices at
$10," says Mr.. Culbertson in his
statement. Under the old 13 to /
ratio pork now would be worth only
$3.50 per 100 pounds. Or in figur-
ing another way, corn marketed
through feeding to hogs at present
prices brings the farmer return of
II cents bushel for his grain. Add
ed value is procured by feeding rath-
er than by shipping to market
There is also an added value in
the return of the manure to the soil.
1t is not shipped away as when
grain is sold BY feeding corn the
farmer can at present get good re-
turn. When the swine run with cat
tie on the farm the return on corn
be increased to greater price"

To TEST SEARCH
AVID SEIZURE ACT
YANKTON MAN DEMANDS RE
TURN OF LIQUORS TAKEN
FROM HIS HOME BY OFF,
GERS In RAID.

Yankton, Feb. 15.-A test of the
validity of the search and seizure"
section of the prohibition law is pro-
missed here with the filing OF mo-
ton by attorneys for John Arend, To-
cal man whose home was recently
raided by state officers, asking for
an order directing the officers to re-
turn all confiscated property, includ-
ing a quantity of alleged moonshine
and a still. Arend waived prelim-
mary examination and gave $500
bond. His case is on the calendar
for trial a tthe February term of cir
cult court.
Jude r. B. Trip, before whom
the motion was made, declined to
pass upon it, declaring that he felt
himself morally disqualified" eth
er to act on a preliminary motion
or to try the case If it came to trial,
by reason of the fact that Arend is
a next-door neighbor of his. The
Judge indicated that he would ask
either Judge L. L. Fleeger, of Par
ker, or Judge J. T. Medin. of Sioux
Falls, to sit in the case here, passing
on the motion and trying the case II

OIL MEN BUCK
STATE GAS TAX
JOBBERS AROUND ABERDEEN
INDORSE ACTION TAKEN IN
SIOUX FALLS.

Aberdeen, Feb. 15.-Independent
oil jobbers from all parts of the state
concluded their meeting in Aberdeen
with the move to support the in
junction against the method of col
lection of the one cent per gallon
fuel tax as passed. by the legislature.
The officers expressed themselves as
being in favor of tax to be used
for better roads, but did not favor a
collection method that would tie up
the money of the companies from
the time the case came into the
state.
H. l.. Freeman president of the
Independent Association and of the
Lake Park Oil company of the state
was present at the meeting and ad-
dressed the delegates on the law as
it stands at present and as the deal
ers believe it should be amended.
Mr.. Freeman said:
There is no question on to the
point as to whether the dealers favor
a tax for the improvement OF the
roads This sort of tax would be
welcomed by every dealer. The, pre-
sent law requires the payment of the
tax practically as soon as the fuel is
imported into the state and causes
a hardship by making the dealers
pay a tax on stored gas and oil be-
fore the fuel reaches the consumer.
eff plan can be worked out ST.
milar to the federal tax whereby the
companies will pay tax on the
tenth of each month for the fuel ac-
tually sold to the consumer in the
preceding month then there will be
no protest. If the present law re-
mains the dealers will no doubt con-
tinue to pay the tax under protest.
"The injunction has been filed
with the federal court at Sioux Falls
pending the action OF the federal
Judges. When an injunction is filed
against a matter of constitutional
status the law requires three federal
Judges shall sit in joint session and
pass upon the granting of the In
junction. For this reason though the
Injunction has been filed 1T will be
difficult to state the exact time the
matter will be acted upon"

MUST PROVE He
STILL IS LIVING
STRANGE CASE OF EX-SERVICE
MAN WHO FORMERLY LIVED
AT WATERFOWL.

Watertown, Feb 15.-The state
compensation board in the payment
of claims has many classes of appli-
cations and innumerable questions
to determine; when these problems
confront the county bonus offices
the bonus officer can pass them on
to the board at Pierre.
However, once in while a coun-
ty officer has a problem to thresh
out himself before he cares to trans
nit claim to the board for final ac-
tion The bonus office in this city
finds itself in such a predicament at
this time.
The question before the local bon
us officer is WAS Philip w. Piele-
meier drowned last summer or was
he not?"
This party worked for III. F. w.
Schaller from about Dec. 8, 1915, to
Nov. 10, 1917; after the war he re-
turned to his former home in In
diana. Last summer or early fall
some of the former friends of Piele-
meier in the Schaller store received
a paper from his home town giving
an account of his drowning, which
account was published in the local
daily. Knowing that local life in
surance office had written him pol
icy while employed in the city, that
company was notified. 1t in turn
con- muncated with Pielemeier's
mother-the beneficiary under the
policy--but never received reply to
its numerous letters.
The county bonus office is now in
receipt of the claim of the alleged
dead man, with his original dis
charge. The handwriting corresonds
to that in letters written the bonus
office on several occasions and the
signature on the original discharge
application would appear to the lay
man to be that of the party in ques-
ton.
The application comes from the
state of Washington. Last Decem-
ber a letter containing bonus forms
was sent to the home town of Piele-
meier addressed to mis- estate so that
his dependents, If any, could file a
claim; no reply was ever received,
No letter accompanies the applica-
tion just received.
If Pielemeier is alive the county
bonus officer is going to insist upon
his proving that he is and II he isn't
he wants somebody to prove his de-
mise before he attempts to pass on
the validity of the claim and trans
mits ii to Pierre.

Man Is Nearly
ElectrOcuted

Heron Lake, Mimi, Feb. 15.--
Henry Schwab, village marshal at
Butterfield, had a narrow escape
from death while working about an
electric transformer switch. The full
voltage of the high current wires of
the transformer passed through
Schwab's body. but he withstood the
shock. The man sustained badly
burned hands, his socks were burn
ed from his feet and he suffered sew
eral bad burns on the body where
some metal pieces rested in his pock-
cts.
Schwab had gone to the transfor-
mer to throw a switch. He had a
wooden pole there for the purpose
and kept 1t encased in pipe to keep
it dry. In removing the pole from
the pipe the pipe fell over on to the
transformer, sending the full charge
of current through Schwab's body.
