TODAY's CHICAGO PRICES.

CHICAGO. February 21.-Wheat
went downward in price today during
the early dealings, a. material factor
being renewal of the selling. which
for several days past has been led by
a house with eastern connections. AS
the case has usually been of late.
however, purchasing broadened and
rally ensued when the market fell
to 1.19 for May. A decline in Liver
pool quotations had some effect as an
influence on the bear side of the
market here. The opening, which
varied from unchanged figures to y
cent lower. with May 1.19k to 1.19H
and July 1.15h to 1.15A. was followed
by declines all around and then
slight reaction.
Corn and oats receded with wheat.
After opening h to II lower. May
75A, the corn market underwent a
general sag.
Oats started haA off to M up,
May 46 to 46h, and later showed

SINCLAIR MEETING
 STOPPED BY POLICE
Author Himself Is Taken Into
 Custody in Los Angeles

Los Angeles, May 16.--An attem n, by Upton Sinclair, author, to conduct an outdoor meeting at Liberty Hill 'ast night by reading aloud the pre- arnble of the constitution of the United States was interrupted by Chief of Police Louis D. Oaks, who broke up the gathering and escorted Sinclair and three companions to a waiting automobile and the machine was relied away to destination unknown early today
 The action of Chief Oaks came as a climax to efforts by Mir. Sinclair, his brother-in-law, Hunter Kimbrough. Prince Hopkins and Hugh Hardyman to obtain permit from the Los Angeles authorities to conduct meet ing at Liberty Hill where assemblies were prohibited since the strike of the marine transport workers branch Of the I. W. w has been under way.
 Willing to Go to Jail.
 When he was refused a permit to speak Chief Oaks quoted Sinclair as saying he would go to jail if necessary inasmuch as his rights as an Ameri- can citizen authorized him to speak.
 Earlier yesterday Mayor George F.. Cryer refused 10 grant the Sinclair party permission to hold meeting in the harbor district.
 MT. Sinclair quoted his constitution al rights.
 Too many come here to talk about their constitutional rights" Mayor Cryer said. They forget their con stitutional duties"

"A stout heart, mean that liter ally. not figuratively. The strain on the heart, when flying at high speeds and high attitudes. is very great. The centrifugal force eNerted on the heart when making A sharp turn at ib0 to 200 miles an hour alone is enough to averstrain or stop a weak heart"
 How sharp a turn can you make. say. at 200 miles an hour-what would be the radius Of your curye?"
 "oh. about 50 feet. Just put her over and she Alps right around. But you want to be sure your hearts right before you try it."
 Ever play crack-the-whip? Inn agine your heart on the end of the cracker when n corner is snapped at 200 miles an hour, Now maybe you can see why Mitchell wants his fliers to keep tuned up by lots of riding, polo. tennis. shooting, swimming and such.
 Born in France.
 And 200 miles an hour is no the oretical speed for this flying general. He set a record of PA miles an hour last year at Detroit.

 Mitchell was born in France, Tee. 20. 1879. That makes him t3 plus, He looks anywhere from ss to ss.

And look where he's gone from there. 4 brigadier general. while most of the boys who were getting through West Point at the time are still majors fnd colonels.
 In the spring of 1916. Mitchell. who learned to fy while on duty at New port News. was ordered to Europe as an observer on the allied front When we entered the war ho was given di- rection of our air activities in France.
 Developing Air Giant.
 Bombing from the air has been one of his pet ideas. He virtually forced the tests by which 't was demonstrat- cd land planes could sink battleships W LII Hikh NAplV1lfFs bFopfN' i'phi the sky. It Is natural, then. that his big interest in life just now is the de- yelopment of the biggest bombing plane ever built. This Is the "Barling Bomber" now near completion at Dayton.
 Shell have & wing spread of 125 feet" Mitchell says enthusiastically. as he discusses her. Shell have 24o0 horsepower in her six motors and will carry, in addition to her crew of II i men, two bombs weighing two tons each. She looks like a giant beside | our smallest plane-the 60-horsepow- CT sperry Messenger. which has a l wing spread of only T. feet"
 But Barling Bomber or sperry Mes anything in between--de- mand the same qualities in their pi- lots. While those of ts who ride the ground may indulge In reflection. the man in the sky must depend most on refiexion.
 Take that from Mitchell.

The fight of Lee Johnston. Seattle
attorney. to evade extradition to
Idaho to answer a federal charge Of
accepting money known to be stolen

before U. S. Commissioner A. C.
Bowman Tuesday, with defeat for the
attorney. He posted bond of $4,000
to appear at Couer dAlene. Idaho,
on June 2. 1923.
The charge arose from an idaho
case in which Johnston defended a
client who was charged with stealing
money from the mails. Johnston,
according to the Indictment returned
against him. accepted $4,000 from the
prisoner from funds he knew had
been included in the theft.
The hearing of Tuesday. at which
Col. e. G.. Davis. U. S. attorney from
Occur d'Alene, represented the gov
eminent. ended legal dual in which
Johnston exhausted every means at
his disposal to avoid return to
Idaho. The last indictment was
cvaded when a local court ruling held
that the Indictment was faulty and
granted writ of habeas corpus. An
other indictment was Immediately
drawn UP and presented.
