WATERBURY TAXI.MAN
 IS THOUGHT MURDERED
He Is Missing, But Blood Spattered Car Is Found
 in New York State

Waterbury, July 31.-Weslie Trinyle
 of 67 Burton street. this city, taxi
 driver who has been missing from his
 home since Saturday and whose blood stained automobile was found by New
 York state troopers on a deserted
 road in Bedford Village, N. Y., 15
 miles from here yesterday afternoon,
 was employed by three young men
 and woman to drive them from the Waterbury railroad station to
 Bridgeport Saturday afternoon. This information was furnished to Trinyles wife by another taxi driver today. State and Waterbury police are com
 bining in an effort to locate the mem
 bers of this party in the hope that they will be able to furnish informa- tion which will lead to the finding of Trinyle either dead or alive. It is feared Trinyle was attacked. robbed and either slain or seriously injured and then dragged to some deserted spot and left to die A canvas of hos pitals and surgeons was to be made today to determine whether or not the missing man had been treated for injuries.
 Ridgefleld. Conn.,, July 31.-The taxicab of Waslie Trinyle of Water bury was found by New York State troopers who had been notified by residents on a road in Bedford Vil- lage, N. Y. fifteen or more miles from here, that the vehicle had been in one place from Saturday afternoon until yesterday afternoon.
 When the troopers looked the car over they notified the state police barracks here and the state officers sent word to Waterbury in order to begin tracing the driver of the car.
 It was hoped to get more definite information about the car during the day. The road on which the car was found is not well travelled and for this reason information about it was not earlier received. The New York troopers have begun search of the country around Bedford Village but no report has been received from them this morning.
 No further information came to the police barracks here from the New York troopers who are making an inquiry in Bedford Village as to the automobile party. It is under stood that the articles in the front seat of the cab which showed stains apparently of blood were the tire jack, and a hammer used in putting on tires. These are usually carried in the tool box but the fact that they were in the front seat and showed signs of use. as weapons led the troopers to surmise that the driver of the vehicle had been struck with these.
 At the state barracks here it is not known what means the New York troopers have taken to search for Trinyle and his passengers. The officers may not cross the line but are ready to give any needed | assistance from tthis side of the state | border.

 Des Moines. July 31.-Declaring that Senator Smith w. Brookhart of Iowa had never exhibited sufficient sustained exertion" to get at facts E. T. Meredith, former secrettary of agriculture. pointed out to the Asso- ciated Press today that the grain farmer will receive $500. .000,000 more for his crop in 1923 than he did in 1922, in spite of the slump in the price of wheat
 There is a conspiracy among cer- tain factions" declared MT. Meredith, Ito misrepresent and discourage the farmer. One of the big purposes is to make political capital out of this deceit which can be used to the selfish advantage of those taking part in it.
 "If Senator Brookhart had asked the facts from the United States de. partment Of agriculture he wouk have found that on July 1, 1922. corn was 62.2 cents and on the same date this year it was S6.5 cents per bushel wheat slumped from g3 cents to s7 cents per bushel, oats increased from 37.3 cents to 42.5 cents per bushel. These prices were taken as of July each year and they are the farm prices, not the price at market Ing centers. from which transporta- 1 lion, charges have to be deducted"
