JARDINE AIMS
TO MAKE WAR
ON GAMBLERS
Secretary Intends To Make
Grain Price Follow
Supply and Demand

Washington, d c May 1S.-Fluctu5
ations in the wheat market are due
to a special group of spectators,
according to an opinion voiced today
by Secretary of, Agriculture Jardine.
Fluctuations were facilitated last
January by the participation Of the
general public in wheat speculation
Proof necessary for the convic-
tion Of persons guilty of causing
speculation has been obtained by the
department, but no charges will be
made. Sec. Jardine is, however, de-
termined to use the results of the
investigation to prevent a repetition
of last January's speculation. He
will do this by undertaking to exer-
else the power vested in him through
the grain futures act to bring about
a situation so that prices will follow
the laws of supply and demand more
closely. This can be done with the
cooperation Of the Board of Trade
and rules made by the Board of
Trade to prevent speculation.
If he cannot secure the needed aid.
the secretary stated that he would
be obliged in the public interest to
demand additional legislation to deal
with the situation.

KANSASC0URT
FOR BRIBERY.
Trial of Former Governor
Opens This Morning in
Kansas City
CONVICTS TO TESTIFY
Political Leader Charged
With Accepting Money
For PardOns
CONvICTs TO TESTIFY


Kansas City, May 13.-Arguments
on the admissibility of admitting
collateral evidence in the case of the
state against former governor Davis
of Kansas, who is being tried on
bribery charges, we're begun today
between the prosecution and the de-
fense.
Evidence was introduced to show
that the clemency Of Gov. Davis to-
wards the latter part of his term were
due to these bribes. There was some
doubt as to whether the evidence Of
Paullman, a convicted bank embez
zler. should be accepted. The argu
ment centered around the effort of
the defense to prevent Paullman's
telling how he turned over $1,500.00
to Russell Davis, son of the governor.
Strenuous objection was made by the
defense when the prosecution sought
to draw the whole story from PAUL.
man. The court ordered that the
evidence be presented.
Davis is charged with accepting a
bribe in connection with his efforts
to pardon Walter Grundy and George
Mcclure. Evidence shows that con-
versations held between Davis, Grun-
dy and Paullman were carried on
through the governors son. PAUL.
man stated that Russell Davis offer
ed a pardon to him if he paid him
$3.50.
