DAUGHERTY EXPLAINS SUI
For Protecting kilograms and Test
ing Rights of Committee, He Says.

BY the Associated Press.
ASHEVILLE, N. c., May 3.-The
suit brought in Washington by for
mer Attorney General Harry NJ
Daugherty was instituted for the
purpose of protecting the telegraph
company and to test questions of law
whereby it may be judicially deter
mined to what extent a committee,
without evidence or authority, can
take over the duties of the court"
Mr.. Daugherty declared last night in
a statement
"The kilograms would be of no
service whatever to the committee.
Nobody has any business with any
kilograms outside of those that are
Official" he said. "Telegrams, other
than those which are official. pertain
10 little, if any, private business, but
relate to family and social matters
Some may have been political though
I paid little attention to politics after
becoming Attorney General"

CORN TAKES NEW
 SPURT IN PRICE
Oats Also Overtop Seasons Pre-. vious Record, With Wheat
 Equaling Highest Movement

CHICAGO, Jan. 16.-Impressive up- ward swings in the corn market re- suited today in a repetition of recent almost daily breaking of high price topped the. seasons previous records. with wheat equaling sthe highest fea- lures on the present movement.

In pro- visions the outcome varied from 15c decline to a rise of 2c..r E
 Despite heavy selling to realize prof it's, the corn futures market readily ab- sorbed all offerings, and the day end ed with quotations at the maximum point reached. Rough weather and q threatened sharp drop in temperature likely to increase feeding demand as we'll as to restrict still further the scanty movement of the crop furnishJa ed the chief new stimulut toward higher prices. As usual of late. today's receipts of corn were measer for this
 Wheat trades were more active than has recently been the rule. The better cash demand for wheat at the leading terminals was reported, and the mar ket for future deliveries responds to corn strength, regardless of assertions was the largest on record. suggesting an exportable surplus estimated at 190,000 bushels.
 All deliveries of oats as well as of corn attained the highest prices of this season. Shipping demand here for oats was % active and receipts were light.
 Selling of lard by commission houses and by smaller packers weakened the provision market, notwithstanding the upturn in hog values.

NJ 'AD00 TRIES
To KEEP LEAD
Last Minute Effort Made to
Prevent Loss of His
Delegates

NEW YORK. June 26.-Deter-
mined to force the nomination of
William G. McAdoo at an early
stage of the Democratic convention
balloting, his managers settled down
grimly today to the serious, business
of preventing a last minute swing
away of delegates.
Reports regarding the situation in
various delegations were brought
into McAdoo headquarters by
scouts. Some indicated, it was said.
that there was talk that the Califor-
mans strength was waning. His
managers insisted, however, that
such reports were groundless.
Rumor had it that a dozen or
more Tennessee delegates, instructed
to vote as a unit for McAdoo. were
talking of boiling to John w. Davis;
that part of the Iowa delegation on
an early ballot would swing away
from McAdoo; that there was dis
affection in other delegations that
would prove costly to Mr.. McAdoo.
Apparently optimistic, the McAdoo
managers insisted they had accurate
information that all delegations
pledged to McAdoo would be faith
full to the last. Assurance that the
Kansas delegation would go over to
McAdoo when needed seemed to
strengthen the belief among his lieu
tenants that he would muster the
necessary two-thirds to insure his
nomination by Saturday night.
Mr.. McAdoo remained in his hotel
suite again today. comforting in rapid
succession with various political
lieutenants and delegates.

notified this morning to pick up on
sight, Henry Weiss, of 618 Catherine

The raiders succeeded in getting
two bottles of whiskey and three
bottles of wine at the saloon OF
Adolph Abluz, 400 Smith street, cor
ner of Goodwin street. George Brus-
ky is the bartender at the latter es-
tablishment and it is probable that

to make the arrests.
The liquor was taken to Newark
by the agent today.

cover. The driver said he was TAX

said he did not know who owned II.
He did not carry a drivers license
or a registration card for the truck.
Officer Seiboth's suspicion was
aroused by the manner in which the
contents of the small truck were
covered. He stopped the driver and
an inspection revealed the barrels of
beer. The driver and truck were
taken to police headquarters whefe
the federal agents will remove the
beer and the truck will be held until
