when searched at the station and
Vaughan had S27, a total of $244,
slightly more than the amounts
stolen from the Mueller Lumber

said that both he and Kelly had
had some money, but admitted that
they had mooched their dinner in

stocks in reserve and bituminous
prices are not expected to advance
materially. Steel men are not only
increasing output but are enlarg-
ing their plants. Attention is now
being turned toward production Of

The opening of the fall lines of
the American Wooden company
Monday is counted on to aid sta
bilization of the market in woolens
as it will indicate the probable
trend of prices. Perhaps the most
striking development of the present
situation is the marked increase IN
quotations on raw wool. The Idaho,
Montana and Oregon clips are be-
ing closed up at prices ranging
from 20 to so per cent advance
over levels which obtained at the
latter part of 1921.
Wage reductions in the cotton
mills of some of the New England
states is having a tendency to sta
bilize trading, although the spot
cotton situation is still uncertain.
Lumber mills are increasing their
outputs in the northwest Michigan
and the south and lumber men an

The resumption of metal mining
even with reduced wage scales Is
pouring millions from the mine and
smelter payrolls into the cash reg
listers of the west and north.
Needed moisture in the great
grain growing sections has improV-
ed agricultural prospects and this
is being reflected in increased de

oil is believed by oil men to fore

gasoline. There is also tendency
noticeable in widely separated sec
tons toward the reduction OF prices
of candy. Savings deposits IN gen
eral are on the increase.

HOSIERY.
Philadelphia, Pa, Jan. 21.-The
popularity of low shoes for winter
has stimulated sales of wool hos
iery at the mills here and sales
men on the road are sending orders
sufficient to keep the mills busy.
The effect also has been felt by
woolens and worsted yarn manu-

company is selling $1.000,000 worth

DAY night The chief is almost pos
tive that some Of the six escaped
prisoners from the Peoria jail mad
part IN the Tuesday night jobs,
and deems IL probable that Kelly
and vaughan took part in the work
The fact that they had 4 punch
In their possession last night that
was stolen Tuesday night leads to
the belief that they might have used
the same punch on safes that were
cracked the early part of the week.
Vaughan denies that he had any
thing to DO with the other safe
cracking jobs, and while a consid-
cradle part of his story is told with
straightforwardness it has been
learned that he has lied several
times in claims made.
Came From GaIesburg.
Vaughan said that he came to
Davenport from GaleSburg Tuesday
night and that Kelly was on the
sane freight train that number
of men were 'bunIning" on, but
that he was not with Kelly and did
not know Kelly at that time. He
said they came as far as Barstow
on the freight and then came to
Silvis in an automobile, took the
street car there and continued to
Davenport. He said that he and
Kelly both spent Tuesday night in
the Davenport police station and
the following day went to the In
terurban hotel in Davenport, and
had been staying there since. He
said that it was at the Interurban
hotel that he first became well ac-
quainted with Kelly.
Vaughan's story was that he read
a newspaper in the Davenport sta
ton about the safe-crachng jobs
in Rock Island The Davenport pO-
lice blotter shows that it was not
on Tuesday but Monday night that
Vaughan and Kelly were given
lodging, and his story Of reading
newspaper accounts of safe-crack-
ing jobs in Rock Island did not
stand investigation. However, Chief
Cox is not claiming the men are
guilty in whole or in part for the
other safe jobs.

EASY TO MARRY
OR BE DIVORCED
IN MONTEVIDEO

Buenos Aires.-The Uruguayan
divorce laws have made the city of
Montevideo the mecca of the ILL
matched couples of the neighbor
ing republic of Argentina
The Buenos Aires newspapers
refer to Montevideo as a ''mat-i-
monial safety valve" and drily OBJ
serve that up-to-date divorce legis-
lation has been rendered unneces-
sary in Argentina by the enterprise
of the Uruguyan law-givers.
According to La RaZon of Buenos
Aires, the Montevideans POSSIBLY
in a fit of repentance for having
dissolved so many Argentine
unions) are now endeavoring to
hold the balance even by making
marriage an easy and expeditions
matter in thei rcapital.
So far have they gone in the lat
ter direction that they have been
considered by both Uruguayans and
Argentines. One cynical scribe,
however, remarks that the mar
riage while you wait" system should
serve as an excellent feeder to the
divorce court in the slack season.

eminent but practical questions
which are being raised every day
in the discussions concerning fu-
ture policy in official quarters. Be
fore the European war, the Ques-
ton never arose. Not until the SEN
ate repudiated the Versailles treaty
did the problem grow complex and
1t is only now when the full effects
of that action are being quietly ad-
mitted by Republicans in positions
Of responsibility that apprehensions
about future international coopera-
ton are expressed
To mention political conferences
of an international character is to
scare away any chance of American
participation. Were it not for the
pressing necessity of helping in the
economic restoration of the world,
the Harding cabinet would pursue
policy of political isolation alto
gether, but every day the European
economic problem grows more dan
gerous to Americas economic sta
tus and the government here is
loath to turn its back on the Genoa
conference if the meeting should
offer even the slightest chance of
economic recovery for the European
continent.
But the program of the Genoa
conference includes German repara-
tions and the French premier says
he will not discuss that. 1t in
cludes discussion of the status of
Russia and there is opposition ev-
erywhere in the recognition of the
soviet government on political
grounds. Until the political and
economic phases of the Genoa pro-
gram are disassociated Americas
participation may be considered as
very. doubtful. But until the con-
illusions of the present arms CON
ference are reached and it is ap-
parent that the United States SEN
ate lie again to repudiate the execu-
tive, the chances are the president
and secretary of state will not en-
ter into more International confer
enceS.

making what is best out of them. In

He spoke of the problems that the
