GRAIN FUTURES
QUOTED Lower
Rapid Price Changes Fea'
ture Today's Market.

CHICAGO, June 16.-Grain flu
lures sank to new low marks on the
present downward movement, as i'm
proved weather brought widespread
liquidating on the Chicago Board of
Trade today.
The wheat market was character
lied by rapid price changes. Numer-
Gus times during the session trans
actions on the floor varied fraction
ally with blackboard figures. Stab
ilization, traders believe, awaits alb
sorption of the enormous load
thrown into the pit.
Liquidation in corn was not so
persistent. Development of strength
in the cash market and lighter re-
ceipts served to offset favorable crop
advices.
Oats dropped with other grains.
News from over the belt contradicted
opinion of leading experts that over
night rains came too late to be of
much benefit. Provisions fell off
with grains.

Phone CENTER
OF COUNTRY is
NOW In Indiana
Mediar Near Logansport,
Says Publicity Com
mittee.

The telephone center Of the United
States, like the center Of population,
is in Indiana, according to the Indi-
ana committee on public utility in
formation.
More than keeping pace with the
westward march Of population, the
telephone has steadily advanced
from it's beginning forty-nine years
ago and has widened its sphere Of
influence until today the median
points Of population and the tele
phone are only a few miles apart.
'In the period beginning with 1875
the median point of telephones has
Travelled from Boston to Logansport,
approximately $50 miles west and
ITO miles south, or about 500 miles
in an airline" says the committee.
During the same period the Trledian
line OF population has moved only
from Springfield Ohio, to a point
near Washington, a distance Of 1875
miles west.
ut was in Boston that the tele-
phone had it's birth. There the first
telephones were made and used. And
just as the original thirteen colonies
were scattered along the Atlantic
seaboard, so also was the early tele-
phone development confined to that
narrow section.
From the larger cities and towns
the population gradually spread out,
by slow and painful degrees, wend-
ing its way ever farther and farther
west. SO also the telephone, which
had it's origin in New England, soon
found it's way to New York and
Philadelphia and from these points
began another march westward I'M
til finally the median point of tele-
phone development not only has
overtaken the median Of population.
but has even passed 1t.
Even at the present time tele-
phones are growing much faster in
the United States than is the popula-
ton. The population of the country
is now increasing at the rate of one
and N per cent year, while tele-
phones are growing at the rate OF
about per cent a year."

ISABELLE POPE
LETTERS READ


testified previously that Billy did not
love the Shepherds as most boys
love their parents" and that the
Shepherds treated her coolly nd pre-
vented their marriage.
i've just been to visit your
father and mother. 1 had a splendid
time. Your father served some wine
and there were other guests. You
don't mind if I drink a little wine
at your own home, do you. dear?"
Did you write that to Billy"
Stewart asked.
Yes. I did," Isabelle replied.
and did you have good timer"
Yes, I did"
Stewart read from nearly dozen
letters, some on delicately tinted sta
tionery. In one Isabelle referred to
Mrs. Shepherd as "a perfect dear -
did you write that to Billy?'
Stewart asked.
Eyes. I did" Miss Pope responded.
"And did you mean what you said
did you enjoy yourself in Mrs.
Shepherds presence and did you
think she was a perfect dear?"
I did-then," Isabelle replied,
her lips twitching.
There was a definite emphasis on
the word then"
other letters told Of Isabelle 60
ing to church with Mrs. Shepherd.
won't 1t be wonderful dear" one
of the letters stated, when Mrs.
Shepherd will not be your mother
only, but will be our mother?'
Won't that be lovely?'
Stewart ended his cross-examina'
ton by asking If 1t were not true
she had entered into an agreement
with Billy's distant heirs whereby
If Billy's will, is broken and Shep'
herd loses the bulk OF the money
she would still be protected
financially.
Eyes. that's true" Isabelle replied
She added that If the will was
broken she was to get half Of the
estate instead of $4,000 a year as
provided by the will which Shepherd
drew UP just before Billy died.
This, Stewart contends, is the
reason that Miss Pope is testifying
against Shepherd.
Shepherd changed his attitude to-
ward Isabelle Pope as soon as he
learned of their engagement, Miss
Pope testified.
BILLY told him Of our engage
ment to be married justa few days
after he became 81" Isabelle told
the jury. HE did not tell him be
fore that time because Mr.. Shepherd
had made him promise not to be
come engaged until he was OF age.
From that time on Mr.. Shepherd
was very cool toward me. He showed
no interest in our plans and never
asked us when we were planning
to be married"

the present level of 100000 tons and
thereby relieving a world shortage.
While American capital is pre-
dominant in the financing OF the
project, German, British, French
and Dutch interests also figure. The
former owners Of the Chiatouri
mines will be compensated by part
interest in the concession and royal
ties.
Officials of the soviet government
consider the Hartman and the
Lena gold fields agreements as
events of the highest economic Inn
portance, and as opening the way to
a large scale development OF Rus
sian resources by foreign capital.

Trade Reviews Say
Federal Sugar Refining Co.

Stocks Of refined sugar are ac-
cumulating in sellers hands in all
directions and are becoming burden
some. Certain refining interests
have circulated reports Of the large
volume Of Withdrawals received
daily, but practically all Of these
have been forced aggressively, even
on contracts on which the delayed
privilege had long since expired.
AS a result Of these large stocks,
recognized by the trade, new bust
ness in refined sugar has been in ex-
tremely small volume. The trade
continues steadfastly tc refuse to
buy or withdraw except for daily
needs. Because Of this and also be-
cause refiners have recently made
large purchases Of supplies, raw

HAVE GRANTED
Big MONOPOLY

BIZ Times Special
MOSCOW, June 16.--It is learned
on highest authority that the con-
cessions committee Of the soviet gov
eminent has signed a preliminary
agreement with representative OF
the Hartman interests for a twenty
year concession in the Georgian
Chiatouri manganese fields as re-
suit of negotiations which have been
progressing since last August.
This concession. covering opera
tons in the worlds largest concen-
trated manganese deposits, repre-
sents by far the largest Russian
Grant ever made to an American
concern.
An intervening period Of three
months is provided for final ratifica-
ton of the agreement Of both
parties.
The details have not been made
public, but 1t is learned that the
American concern agrees to spend
"a, 900, 900 In improving the tech
nical facilities at the mines. I'm
proving the railroad connection be-
tween Chiatouri and Poti and build
ing an elevator at Poti.
1t Is understood that the conces-
sionaires will pay royalties to the
soviet union which will assure the
government a yearly revenue Of be-
tween 81 600, 900 and $2,O00,000 from
the time the contract becomes ef-
fective and that they will enjoy a
complete monopoly on the explorta-
ton of manganese from Russia.
To Raise Production
The concession stipulates that the
mines shall be entirely under Ameri-
can management and it Is expected
that the introduction of modern min
ing machinery will permit an I'M
portant increase in production OF

Opportunity School

A special opportunity school for
children average and schools for
those defective in vision and in
speech are proposed, Dalman said.
Another unique feature of Indian
apolis grade schools is that under

been standardized to a two-story
structure which afford as nearly as
possible the required amount Of Gu
bic space, light and air for each

ton, Dalman said.
Another special enterprise is the
child's travelling museum which is
one of the few in the United States.

dianapolis schools are deplorable,
the education department has made
the most Of what resources are at
hand and has advanced the educa-
tional program, Dalman said.
