VENGEANCE STORY
TOLD IN DEATH
Of SOPHIE LYONS
Once Famous PickpOCket
Visited by Three MySter-

BIZ United Press
DETROIT, Mich. May S.-Despite
the statement of police that Sophie
Lyons Burke. at one time an inter
nationally famous criminal. died of a
natural death, the belief persisted to-
day in many quarters that she was
the victim OF three bandits who had
accused her of "squealing."
For the last forty years Sophie
Lyons had gone straight and had ac-
cumulated a fortune, but she still
befriended her erring brethren and
strove TO give them another chance.
She died at a hospital here yester-
day from cerebral hemorrhage. &C

But Mrs Gertrude Antle. who lives
in the Burke home. tells story of
three men who came to see Mrs.
Burke Tuesday. Shortly afterward
Mrs. Antle heard the aged woman cry,
Quit! Don't. Let me alone"
Lending color to this theory is an

Demand.


All classes of livestock were in good

livestock yards today. Demand from
all accounts was good for hogs with
the result that prices were steady to
generally 5 cents higher. One large
trader put a string Of 1000 head on
the early market at $40, thus estab-
fishing the average quotation for the
day. Local packers entered actively
into the buying and the usual num-
Der Of shipping orders promised to
clear up the yards early at the $40
mark, as receipts were somewhat
under the demand. Some choice hogs
brought $7.75, otherwise the market
was a one-priced affair, as compared
to Wednesdays bulk sales at $7.65,
top of $40 and SITS. Sows held
generally steady with smooth light
packers bringing down from 81 with
the bulk around $685. and roughs
quoted $640 TO $675. There was a
good demand for pigs down from $7.25.

NEW YORK, May S.-Trading was
sluggish in the later dealings on the

tured by important gains in several
of the leading industrials. Glen Alden
Coal reached a new high record at
9S5s, as did United Bakers pfd. at
S97s and National Tea at 373.

with the pressure directed against the

WHEAT RECEIVERS
IN DELAYED RALLY
Grains Show Loss at Close of
Trade,

CHICAGO. May STRAINS closed
showing fractional losses on the board
today A late rally recovered for
wheat most of the days losses. Ac-
tivity of shorts and fresh speculative
buying was induced by unfavorable
crop advices and report of a moderate
amount of gulf wheat. Some Can
adam wheat was sold for export.
Corn displayed relative strength.
Unfavorable advices from the North
west and some export business were
strengthening factors.
Large line elevators in the West
were reported reselling oats back to
farmers. and this, as we'll as weakness
in other grains, caused lower oat
close. Nothing was done in provis-
ions late, and prices showed little
change from the low point of the day
at the close.
