CHICAGO, May 27.-Several things
conspired together to bring low
err range in wheat values today.
Liverpool advanced but a small frac-
ton and messages from Seaboard and
Winnipeg indicated that the export de-
mand was much less keen than 1t had
been. There were rain reports from
Kansas. 1t was said that there were
hedging sales in this market against
purchases of new Oklahoma wheat.
The recent advance prompted a GER
tain amount of profit taking and Wash
ington news was again indicative of
diminishing prospects that the McNary-
Haugen bill would be passed.
Corn was relatively stronger than
wheat, at one time selling at new high
prices for this particular movement.
Helpful influences were the tighten
ing in the pit condition as a result
of yesterdays concentrated buying, re-
ports to the effect that Missouri mar
kets were outbidding Chicago and talk
of wet weather in the Ohio valley de-
laying the start of the new crop. Talk
of larger country offerings and their
suggestion of a larger movement were
responsible for the loss of most of the
early gains.-H. G B. Beer to ]. F. Will

FATE AND FILM
 MAKE HIM COP
Herbert Rawlinson Chases| Band Of Jewelry
 Robbers

Less than 10 minutes a cop, and two| honest-to-goodness jewelry bandits to| his credit, is the enviable record es-| tablished by Herbert Rawlinson, the| popular movie star, while actually en- gagged in making his latset attraction, Jack O. Clubs"
 During, the filming of this picture. coming today to the Capito ltheatre, RaBlinson plays the part of patrol man. A police precinct was filmed and Rawlinson bedecked himself in his uni- form at that location. Before the last brass button had been properly placed an alarm was sounded. Herb led a procession of 10. cops on dead run from the station house.
 A jewelry store, two blocks away, had been robbed, and the cops didn't even stop to wait for the Black Ma ria.n
 Being the thinnest, and fastest in the crowd, Rawlinson arrived first only to discover that the two bandits had fled in a taxicab.

 Vital Issue

MONTGOMERY, Ala, July B. Dr. J. F. Yarbrough, prominent mem Der of the Methodist Episcopal, church, south, today issued an appeal to Meth odists to hold conference for the pur- pose of obtaining the expression of the members on the subject of uniting with the northern Methodist church..
 Dr. Marlborough said the Southern Methodists had not expressed them selves and that the general conference had not permitted an expression. He stated that the members of the gen. eral conference were selected before unification became an issue and that the subject vii be lconsidered by the an- nual conference this year, composed of persons who were elected last spring and summer before the issue became a serious one in the southern church.
 He predicted a division in the church # something is not done to obtain an expression of the views of the Southern Methodists before unifcation becomes a fact. He suggested that leading mem bers of the church in the south should call a meeting in order that an ex- pression of opinion might be obtained.

DADDIES' DRAWS
 GREAT CROWDS
David Belasco's Famous Play Now At
 Jefferson

One of the great comedies of the present day--full of laughable situa- tions and dialogue-a play that every one, because of the human interest ap- peal that runs through the story, will Thoroughly enjoy seeing-such is the reputation of the play at the Jeffer- son this week, David Belasco's famous "Daddies." It is a play you will hear talked of for years to come, and one that you will always be glad you went to see.
 The. management of the Jefferson All-Star Players were fortunate in se- curing it for local presentation. It has played in New York for two years, and in Chicago for one year, but has not been shown in other cities because David Belasco will start its third year run in New York with the opening of the fall theatrical season.
 It was only after earnest persuasion that Mir Belasco consented that it might be produced ill Birmingham. In fact, it was Mir. Belasco's know ledge of Director Hal Briggs ability and experience that finally caused him to give his consent for the Birmingham showing He knew from Mir. Briggs past WOrk III ulTecIluS anu pEOuuSihS plays in New York, that he would give "Daddies" genuine Broadway produc- tion here with capable cast of Broad way principals. To these facts the theatre going public owe their present opportunity. to see this great play.
 The popular All-Star favorites, Miss Kathleen Comegys, Miss Manker, Miss Ray, Miss Eversen, Arthur Byron, De Forrest Dawley and Peter Buffers, are in the cast, while two new additions to the All-Star Players make their ap- pearance in "Daddies." These two new people are Hal Crane, juvenile and light comedian, who has just left the cast of one of William A. Brady's plays, which recently closed on Broadway, and Mir. Bernard Nedell, the new Broadway leading man. Five local children also appear in the play.

 Ryan's counsel in asking for the change of venue, told the court that members of the klan had threatened to lynch Ryan. He expressed the fear hat klansmen, hiding their affiliations, 1uld obtain seats in the jury box and te to convict Ryan regardless of his
 It or innocence.
