SELLING IN WHEAT
RESUMED TODAY
Continued Rains Are Boon to
New Crop-Drop in Liv-
erpooI, Too.
By the Associated Press.


CHICAGO, April 24.-With contin-
ued rainy weather, a boon to the new
domestic wheat crop, wheat averaged
lower in price today during the first
part of the board of trade session.
Downturns in quotations at Liverpool
tended also to promote selling here.
May delivery at Liverpool went to the
widest discount yet as compared with
July. Chicago opening figures, which
showed q cent to cents decline. with
May, 1924 to 1921 and July, 1891 to
140, were followed by something of a
rally and then by another sag.
Corn and oats were easy, sympa-
thizing with wheat weakness. After
opening, at n cent to las cents of,
July 1.117s to 1.12, the corn market
underwent a slight additional setback.
oats started at Is to 5saA cents off.
July, 43A to 43h. Later there was
little recovery.
Provisions were responsible to a de-
cline in hog values.

ZB NEW YORK, April 24.-Uneven
price movements characterized today s
relatively dull Stock Market. Steady
absorption of several public utilities
and specialties which were bid up to
new high for the year contracted with
the weakness of Union Pacific and
Northern Pacific, which established
new 1925 low records. Total sales ap-
proximated 100000 shares.
The closing was irregular. Short
covering operations were believed to
be largely responsible for 2point gains
in United States Cast Iron Pipe, Fisk
Rubber first preferred, Pittsburgh and
West Virginia and Southern Railway

ever, dropped 3 points, and a sharp
break took place in Commercial

Thug Demands Money in
Hold-up Thursday at
1880 O'clock.
ON GRAND AVENUE
HOld-up Is Reported to Police
But Thief Is Not
Yet Caught.

Grayce Herzog, wife of H. E. Her.
zog of "Tower Manor" on French
drive, was the victim of a hold up
Thursday close upon midnight, when
she was robbed as she came along
on foot across the Grand avenue
bridge. Badly frightened and glad to
escape unhurt, Mrs. Herzog handed
over all the money she had in her
purse whereupon the thief departed.
Mrs. Herzog, as soon as she could
get to telephone put in call for the
police, but of course by that time the
man had made his escape.
Walking West on Bridge.
Mrs. Herzog had attended the But
terfly theater, and left there after
eleven o'clock. Mr.. Herzog was put
ting on a drill team for the Moose
club at the German-American home,
and they had agreed earlier that after
the theatre his wife would meet him
at the clubhouse on Grand avenue.
She was walking west alone on
Grand avenue, when as she stepped
upon the bridge she was aware of
some one approaching from behind,
and then her arm was seized.
At first she thought that it was a
friend who was intending to startle
her by this, and determined not to
''rise" to the foolery, she turned to
see who it was.
Is Polite Thief.
Startled she found herself looking
into the face of total stranger.
"Give me all the money you have
in your purse" said the man. Mrs.
Herzog opened her bag and took out a
smaller purse within which she hand
ed him. It contained two five dollar
bills and one dollar bill, $11 in all.
The man took the purse and just at
that moment car approached from
the east. The foot-pad seized Mrs.
Herzog's arms and held her so that
she stood in front of him, telling
her to stand still.
II stayed put" said Mrs. Herzog,
laughing about it afterwards; they
say it is the first time l obeyed with
out any back talk"
When the car had passed, the man
disappeared between the tannery bark
piles. Mrs. Herzog continued on her
way until she arrived at the German
American home where she called up
the police department and gave them
description of the hold-up man. She
said he spoke English we'll, like a
native born American, and wore a
brown suit, soft brown hat and ap-
peared to be about thirty years of
age.

"Somene took it for deviltry, that's
ALL" said Lieut.. Rock, and the two
police officers split and went around
the block for the car. They went
around another block too, and finally
after half hours search had to ad
nit that the car could not be found
and that it was evidently stolen.
First Time Police Cars Taken.
| 1t is the first time in the history
of the police department here thai
any one has had the temerity to steal
car belonging to the department
This car however did not carry the
red license plate which Identifies il
to the casual observer as a police car
| The usual report was made at head
quarters and needless to say, every
man on the department made an eff
fort to catch the car and the driver
who had made off with it.

Sergeant of Detectives Emil Meiss-

atty were equally familiar to the two
Kenosha officers. He was arrested at
one time here on suspicion of tamper-
ing with United States money, and
another time was arrested for posses
sion of a monshine still and was fined

RAILROADS HAVE TO
BE GOOD. BYRAM SAYS
President of C. M. & st. P. Discusses
Difficulties of Road and Denies
Charges of Encouragement.

Minneapolis, Mimi )-Presi-
dent H. E. Byram of the Chicago, Mil
waukee and St. Paul railway, told the
Traffic club Of Minneapolis today that
the factors causing the recent receiv-
ership of the road were the wartime
disturbance of economic conditions,
the diversion of traffic to the Panama
Canal and motor vehicles, the acute
business depression of the northwest
and the extensive control by the gov
eminent of railroad earnings, expens-
es and operation.
"None of these things" he said,
"could have been foreseen Is or 20
years ago and their adverse effect has
not been confined to the st. Paul road
Many other railroads have been doing
business without profit for several
years and others are only able to pay
dividends because of their heavy in
vestments in other lines more favor
ably situated.
Articles appearing in the press rel
alive to the St. Paul's financial condi-
ton were in some cases "colored &C.
cording to tn eprejudice of the writ
err" Mr.. Byram asserted in setting
forth that for a number of years, "it
has not been possible for a railroad
to seriously misbehave even if it
wished to do So"
Government regulations and super
vision, he said, precluded improper
conduct of railroads affairs.
