BROKER IN DEAL
 MAKES FORTUNE
Cleans Up Over $1, ,5OO, ,OOO In Sale Of
 Corn

CHICAGO, July 14.-One of the biggest killing" on the Chicago board of trade in recent years was reported by brokers to have been made today by Arthur W. Cutten, Chicago grain merchant and board of trade operator who sold 300,O00 bushels of July corn to a Glucose concern at a price around $1.10. His profits since corn took a jump of 40 cents from a recent low figure were estimated by brokers to- night at between $1 1,5O0,00O and $1,- S60,0O0.
 In addition to his heavy deals in cash corn, MT. Cutten who terms himself "a cash grain merchant and dirt farm CT" and whose farm near Chicago is one of the show places of Outage county, is also credited with having a large sum on the recent wheat advances of from 20 to 9 cents a bushel in the Chicago and Winnipeg markets. His heavy profits, brokers said, were due to his faith in his prediction, made some time ago, that corn would take a jump. He followed this judgment persistensly in his trading, his friends say, despite the fact that he was compeled to take large losses during May when he was re- ported to have been compelled to pay for 10000 bushels of corn bought on contracts for May, delivery. A month ago, he predicted corn would reach a dollar bushel before the end of July and wet weather which has held the crop back made his forecast come true even sooner.

URGES REMISSION
 OF WAR DEBTS
Attorney Darow Says Issue Is
 One Of Livest

CHICAGO, July 14-Remission, by the United States of it's war loans, not only as a good moral measure but for the sake of better prosperity, was ad- vocated by Clarence $. Darrow, the at torney, today in an address before the University of Michigan Alumni club of Chicago.
 Notwithstanding that remission is seldom now discussed, Mir. Darrow said he believed it the most important prob lem before the country. He thought remission ultimately would be allowed by the United States.
 For the restoration of farmers pros perity he considered this remisson both essential, and more effective than any measure that politicians have proposed on the farmers behalf.
 Mir. Darrow doubted if the United States would actually feel the loss of the debts remitted, because it was money already paid out. He said that if the United States was right in en- tering the war, then marally it be- longed in the war from the start, but that for more than two years, instead of being in the war, it was making money faster than ever before out of the necessities of those who later were its allies He said he did not con demn this because it seemed unavoid- able, but that the least the United States could do now in fairness was to cancel the loans.

WHY BLAME THE STOMACH
 FOR so MANY TROUBLES?

The answer is that the stomach is really to blame for most of the human ailments, though 1t seems far removed from the seat of many such diseases as rheum a tisua. constipation. skin diseases, etc. Medical authorities are pretty generally agreed that the stomach is the main source df many of our bodily inflictions. IndiRestiS Is known as one of the first troubles 10 develop from accumulated acids in the stomach. That explains a whole lot, makes it easy to see why distressing head aches, loss of energy, constipation, rheu- system are such usual complaints with many of us. It is because so few of us are free from some form of stomach dis o~der. The diseases just mentioned are the result of poisons absorbed by the sys- tenn from a stomach which does not func- ton as nature intended. That the stomach could be made well and strong and all its troubles easily overcome, was not realized universally until that wonderful medicine. FERRALINE, was made aVailable It's great merit has been proved in thousands of cases.

DISAPPEARANCE OF ARMY MAJOR
 STILL UNSOLVED
Mysterious Trip Of Two Men May Prove Clue
 In Case

ASHEvILLE, N. C., July 14.-An all-day search of the territory sur rounding Canton, where the blood stained cap and automobile and personal effects of Major Samuel H. McLeary, missing army officer, were found yes terday afternoon, failed to reveal any trace of him, and the theory that he was slain near here practically was abandoned by authorities tonight. Cir cumstantial evidence obtained today points to the fact, searchers said, that the two men seen, July in the officers automobile were on a mysterio6s visit into the territory in which the machine was wrecked and abandoned but all ef- forts today failed to furnish any ex- planation. ..
 Lieutenant Heron of Washington, friend of Major McLeary, arrived to- night to assist Major s. NJ. Williams of Asheville and about 1C0 officers and private citizens engaged in the search.
 Positive statements by Mrs. Luther Hall, who was asked for a bucket by the two strangers that neither was Major McLeary, after she was shown photograph of the officer and finding of a trench mirror and package of razor blades at a point where his baggage was discovered yesterday were the only definite developments today. |
 The theory that the automobile was stolen and brought to this section is fast gaining weight. The baggage is believed by officials to have been hidden after the car was. wrecked.

FIVE ARRESTED ASBANK BANDITS
 AT TAMPA, FLA.
Three Former Police Of- ficers Held In $24,OOO
 HOld-Up

TAMPA. Fla, July 14.-Five Tampans three of whom are former po- lice officials, were arrested this morn ing by the sheriff charged with the high way robbery here on April 9 of A. C. Clewis, chairman of the board of direcors of the Exchange National bank. Two men seized a satchel containing S24.OO0 and fled in broad daylight in an automobile.
 Those arrested were former Police woman Edith NJ. Conway, her son, Byrd s. Conway, bookkeeper of the Exchange bank; R. D. Hogue,, former fingerprint expert of the police depart ment: Charles Killingsworth, deputy sheriff of Sulphur Springs and Ted Albury.
 Mir. Clewis was robbed as he was transferring the money in an automo- bile from a branch of the Tampa bank in West Tampa.
 How Sheriff Got Trail
 The sheriff said today that his at tention was attracted to Mrs. Conway in convention with the robbery when he read a newspaper story stating the former police woman had inherited $5O.- 900 from a relative in the north. He declined, however, to divulge his req sons for doubting the inheritance story"
 Newspapermen and attorneys were not admitted to the jail where the pris- oners are held but it is reported from the sheriff's office that one of the prisoners has made a confession putting the blame for the actual robbery on one of the suspects and the planning of the robbery on the other four.
 Seek Sixth Man
 Police are on the lookout for a sixth man said to have aided to the actual robbery.
 The two men had been apparently tipped off as to the exact time that the money was to be transferred. They came alongside Clewis automobile in another car and crowded him into the curb. At the point of a pistol he was relieved of the money.
 A few days afterwards two men, John Jackson and Aaron Pullman, were arrested but were released for lack of evidence.

TO NOTIFY DAVIS
 AT HARRISBURG
His Address To Signalize Opening Of Democratic
 Campaign

NEW YORK. July 1.-The cere- mony of officially notifying John w. Davis of his nomination for the presi- dency by the democratic party, will take place at Clarksburg, w. Va, it was learned today. Formal announcement of the arrangements for the event, which probably will take place within two weeks, expected soon.
 Mir. Davis will deliver the address of acceptance which will signalize the opening of the democratic campaign at the house where he lived as a boy and in the town that has been the resi- dence of his family for a century.
 The nominee said he was anxious to get the preliminaries out of the way as soon as possible as prolongation of the convention already had delayed the democratic appeal to the country.
 After two days of comparative rest at his country home in Locust Valley, Long Island, Mir. Davis drove to New York this morning considerably re- freshed and ready to plunge into the last of the preliminary work that must be done to set up the party organiza- tion. This he hopes to finish by Friday and if he succeeds he will then go to Isleboro, Maine, for few days.
