FEAR OF FROST
 CAUSES ADVANCE
 IN CORN MARKET
Twenty Cents Bushel Jump Is Without
 Parallel

CHICAGO. Aug. 16.-Almost panicky advances in the corn market today went to such a point that prices were up 19 to 20 cents bushels above values cur rent at one time last week. Fear that a large portion of the corn crop wlll fail to mature before filling frosts ar rive was the accepted general explana- tion.
 Even in war time few parallels are found for today's tumultous action of corn values or for the excitement which which pervaded all the grain pits on change. The net result when the gongs cleared out the perspiring. crowds of brokers was a maximum net gain of 4Ac bushel for corn, 312c for wheat and Bc for oats above yesterdays clos ing prices.
 Interest in corn dwarfed everythin; else, so far as nine-tenths of grain trad CTS gave any sign, the agreement at Lordon with Germany evoking hardly more than a hurried glance or word while every line about the corn cror received the most eager attention. One of the circumstances which brought out the sharpest comment was the apparent capacity of the market to absorb huge profit taking sales. Whether the limit in this respect had been reached was widely discussed after the close, ana with much difference of opinion Il was generally concede that up to this in market so active as of late was time the absence of speculative selling nearly without a precedent.

NEW CARS TO SAVE GOVERNMENT MONEY
(By Associatel Press.

NEW YORK, Aug. In an effort to prevent railway mail robberies, the United States post office department, 1t was learned today, has coz tracted for the building of 5000 specially designed cars, armored so heavily and equipped with such protective devices as to defeat attacks by armed desperadoes. A spokes- man of the department said one of the cars has already been delivered to. the railroad yards at Melrose, N. Y, and if it meets the tests to which it will be subjected the others will be rushed to completion.
 The armored mail car. designed un- der government supervision, 1t is un- derstood. is the result of the post office departments reaction to the mail holdup near Chicago in June, n which S2 GOO in money md bonds NtfNf At0AHtf> x& fHut 1VtttEfn NF tAAttf time attacked special mail train at Rundout.

 The arnaorea caf hns mAny features reminiscent of the armored tanks used in the World war It is equipped with slits through which its occupants cAh trust rifles and revolvers In addition it was stated by the department s spokesman, the car is safeguarded with q system of specially contrived locks, which make it impossible for anyone to gain entrance without the co-opera- tion of someone on the inside. Although no comment was made regarding the provisions against poison gas, 1t is un- derstood that it will be equipped with devices to counteraet also this mode of attack.
 Some of the ideas used in the con struction of the test car are said to {, have been obtained through study of the new type of steel express boxes which are placed on flat cars in such a position that they cannot be tam pered without being removed. These are heavily plated and have proved immune to rifle fire,
 Representatiy of the post office de- partment returned to Washington to- day after comforting with officials here in charge of the railway mail service. They said they would return for further conference next week and would at that time probably make detailed announce. ments of the new government plan of mail protection.
 They said that for sometime the gov ernment has been apprehensive regard ing train mail robberies and that losses incurred in this way have run as high as $6,O0O, GOO in one year.

LONDON, Aug. 16.Fivef years from the time when the Versailles peace conference left Europe in a state of sus- pended hostility, a joint allied and German conference has agreed on the first compre- hensive program for the paci- fication of the old world.
 At a full plenary session, attended by the allied and German delegates. the procto- cols which provide the terms or putting the Dawes plan into effect were signed at S:50 o'clock tonight.
 Praises Dawes Plan
 The plenary session was held at the foreign office. Speeches were made by the principal delegates, Ambassador Kellogg characterizing the Dawes plan as "the greatest piece of constructive work in modern times" He declared it would receive the loyal support of President Coolidge and the American people.
 Although the occasion of signing the documents, which signalized Europe's long-awaited peace settlement, had all the clements of drama, the details were handled in strictly routine fashion. Aft CT all the delegates were seated, Pre- mire Macdonald entered the room in business-like fashion, greeted by warm applause.
 Has anyone anything to say on the documents which are before us?" Mac. donald asked.
 There were two or three minutes of intense silence. The delegates look ed at one another. but no one spoke. Mcdonald, thereupon, began to ad- dress the delegates. Speeches by Ann bassador Kellogg, Premier Herriot, Chancellor Marx and Signor de Stefani, head of the Italian delegation, fol- lowed. Each expressed the hope that Europe was on the eve of a new era, but Macdonald and Herriot warned that much was still to be accomplished and that further obstacles might be encountered before the restoration of Europe was complete.
 After the speech-making, the meet ing adjourned for 20 minutes. The delegates scattered about the room, smoking and chatting and exchanging

 Flee To Hills.
 The bandits fled into the hills, where troops are chasing them now.
 The bandit rebels were said to have been under the command of General Guadalupe Canchez. The scene of the holdup is about forty kilometers from Jalapa.
 In addition to the number killed, which included two soldiers of the armed escort on the train, several Ger mans and Mexicans, nearly a score more wounded. Three Germans. were numbered among the wounded.
 Passengers Aid Soldiers. f Some of the passengers, though wounded, aided the soldiers in their un- successful fight to beat off the bandits. When they had killed, wounded or dis armed all of the passengers, the ban dits turned to footing the train. All passengers were robbed, even women and children being searched for money and. valuables. The train was wrecked by obstacles being placed on the track When the engine struck the obstruc. tion, it left the rails and turned over with two of the coaches.

RY. AssociatalI Preaal

NEW YORK, Aug. Ie.-Federal authorities tonight moved to learn the identity of the 17,000-ton .'sea-going booze palace" which was reported to- day by the Herald Tribune to be cruis- ing off the Emile limit, dispensing pre-prohihition concoctions to wealthy land lubbers.
 Little stock was taken, however, in the newspaper reporters evidence that the huge passenger ship, on which he told of having spent q night in the company of the gay and liberal drink eFs--rnen and womefi--was the former North German Lloyd liner Frederick Der Crosse.
 The description of the vessel, her dimensions and equipment tallied more closely, said the authorities. with that of the North German Lloyd-built liner Kronprinz Wilhelm, which was in termed during the war, became an American transport, was renamed the Won Steuben and disappeared from of- .ficial records last March IA, when the shipping board sold her at Baltimore for serapping purposes.
 May Be Won Steuben
 Plenty of time las intervened since March for the ,undisclosed owners of the Won Steuben to have oyerhauled her and installed the glimmering bar, cabaret and hotel accommodations de- scribed by the news report, authorities point out.
 At the same time they declared there was ample evidence that the. Frederick Der Crosse. smaller vessel, was burn ed in the Pacific lastyyear. while sailing under the postwar name City of Homo lulu.
 Officials disagreed as to the extent of the governments Jurisdiction over the floating saloon, or those wealthy

visitors from shore who went by power boats, rum runner or private yacht to partake of the mystery ships convivial- .ity.
 Captain W. V. E. Jacobs, commander of the coast guard, New York district, announced he had started an investi- gation to establish the identity of the craft. Then he said the government under whose flag she is registered -the news reporter said the British flag would be called upon to suppress the vessels activities.
 Could Arrest Crew
 Furthermore, said Captain Jacobs, the coast guard could arrest, fine and reprimand, on charges of going for eign' the crew md passengers of any small boat that crossed the Emile limit in the direction of the mystery ship. Should the small boat be picked up in the vicinity of the s'deep-sea em- porium," said Captain Jacobs, its oc- cupants could be more heavily fined and more severely sp imanded for being in communication with rum smugglers.
 Romaine O. Rick, divisional prohi- bition chief for New York and north ern New Jersey, held an opposite view of the governments Jurisdiction where the doings of vessel outside the 12- mile limit were involved. He held, in in fact, that the government held no jurisdiction, either over the cabaret ship or those persons who braved the bouncing pillows in quest of its booze dispensary.
 Although Captain Jacobs took steps to learn the identity of the unknown craft aboard which the newspaper man got his thrills, he continued to disbe- lieve that such q craft actually had been serenely entertaining guests off Fire

WASHINGTON, Aug. 16.--- If some political wizard could line up the vote of the flapper and her slick-haired boy com panion, and deliver it as he pleased, he could elect any, body president. There are 100000 young folks of both sexes just old enough to cast their first presidential votes in this election, a number equal to Harding's plurality over Cox in 1920.
 In addition to this new blood, half million foreign-born have been nat uralized since 1920 and added to this is a large army of negroes who have migrated from the south and are now able to cast their votes for the first time.
 Analyzing the distribution of these new voters, Simon Michelet. Wash ington lawyer who is doing special work for the republican national committee, believes that they will exercise de- cisiye power in pivotal states, if they are organized and induced to vote.
 Political workers have always found 1t difficult to get out high percentage of the new voters, or of the old voters for that matter. In the 1920 election, it is estimated that 20,000,000 persons eligible to vote remained at home.
 Hot Scramble Forecast There will be a hot scramble for the young voters In some of the doubtful states this year, In Indiana, for in- stance 1t 10 eStinhted that POO, 600 per sons will be eligible to vote in presi- Gsntial election for tic EiEst lime this year Hardinss plurality vas 185. .O0gl 1 Normally the Indiana presidential fight is decided by q margin of 5000 to 1O,- Ohio has s75, ,0O0 new voters, four times the average purity, though slight ly less than Handing's in 1920.
 New York will have 6O0,000 new voters, far more than is usually neces- sary to swing an election.
 Illinois has 100000 youngsters eligi- ble for the first time.
 All of this adds tremendously uncer- tain factor to the campaign. Politicians would give a good deal to know how many of the youngsters will vote and for whom.

KID M'COY GAME IN GRIM BATTLE
 AGAINST MOOSE
Two Developments SS Far In Case Favorable
 To Pugilist
By H. o, THOMPSON.

tLease0 Mlre 70 The Ase-HAofdtq.l
 LOS ANGELES, Cal, Aug. 16.- "Kidn Mccoy, noted for his fierce cruelty and his delight in inflicting needless punishment on his opponents when he was in the ring, bethought himself of his old reputation as game one" today, and quit whimpering about his plight
 The kid, who is held on suspicion that he murdered Mrs. Theresa MoFs, turned his cell into training quarters" for the fight of his life--for his life. Twisting, bending, swinging his fists in arcs about his head, the kid went through the old gymnasium calisthenics that he practiced when he was pre- pairing himself to lacerate the face of Tommy Ryan, the fight that made him famous for his heartlessness, many years ago.
 I've fought for some big purses in my time,' the kid panted as he came to a rest after bending maneuver. "But this time I'm battling for my biggest purse. You know what mean. Life's worth fighting for, isn't It? I'm going to be in shape"
 Cheering News.
 Two things had happened to cheer the kid, The coroner's jury had failed to charge him with the mur- der of the rather mature New York beauty with whom he had been living for some time in the informal status of roommate. The coroner's jury simply gave ar open verdict and left the rest to the police and the prose cutor. The other encouragement was vouchsafed Mccoy when Mrs. Iva Martin, a resident of the building in which Mrs. Mors was shot dead after she had received q murderous beating, failed to identify him as a man she saw running from the building just after the shot was fired. Mrs. Mar tin went to the jail and scrutinized the whilom bully of Broadway as he walked up and down the dim corridor After some time she said he wasn't the man.
 Mccoy seemed to think this was something in his favor. As a matter of fact it did confuse the case which the kid having admitted that he was in the room with Mrs. Mors when she was shot, only maintaining that she was melancholy and shot herself. But unless he repudiates his earlier state ments and succeeds in convincing a jury that he never made them or was forced to make them, the identity of the other man would seem unimpor- tant.
 Talked Too Much.
 There are many contradictions in the kids story of the happenings in the room which show that his nerve failed him and that he gabbled alto gether too much for his own security when he was first taken The kid had much experience with the police in his time, especially when he was running a dive on Broadway in New York, and he had long ago learned that
