WHEAT YIELDS IN
FOUR S STATE S
BELOW NORMAL
(By Dispatch A. p. Wire }

CHICAGO, May 31.-Less than nor
nal wheat yields in Illinois, Iowa and
Missouri and a crop falling below the
10 years average in Nebraska are
predicted in the Santa Fe railway
report on agricultural conditions as of
June /.
Winter killing has caused heavy
abandonment of acreage in Illinois,
Iowa and Missouri, said the report,
and most of the grain that survived
was early sown, which is doing fairly
well. The total yield is estimated at
SO, SOC, 900 bushels. Many of the aban-
donment fields have been soWn to
oats, with good prospects.
Nebraska's probable wheat crop is
estimated at 4O,OOO,OOO bushels, COM
pared with the 10-year average OF
5O,OOO,0O0.
A backward spring in Illinois,
Iowa and northern Missouri made
much corn replanting necessary, the
railway said, but the stand is now
fair and seasonable weather should
produce an average crop, the acreage
being normal.
For the IL Mississippi valley and
southwestern states in which the
Santa Fe operates total Wheat
yield estimate of $4,000 bushels is
made in the current report. The 1925
in the same states was 232,79S,OOO
bushels.

secretary reported her drowned at
Santa Monica beach near here May is,
tonight scanned the surf again in
vain for signs of her body while
they, heard on all sides rumors and
theories that their leader still was
alive and, for reasons of her own,
had disappeared
Meanwhile, the OF sicial investiga-
tion of the disappearance which has
been awaiting the time when it
might be presumed that the body of a
person drowned on May 18 should
have come ashore, began quietly to
get under way. This inquiry, de-
signed to overlook no chance or con-
nection which might shed light on
the scene, involved first a thorough
check on what actually occurred on
hte beach between the time Miss
Emma Schaeffer, the evangelist's Sec
retary, said her employer arrived
there and the moment at which Miss
Schaeffer reported her missing.

Ormiston's wife, ccording to his own

Money Buried By Confeder-

Keep From Union Forces.
(By Dispatch A. p. Wire }

DEMOPOLIS, Ala, May 31.-Aided
by old papers his father left. him,
Gayus Whitfield, Middleboro, KY, to-
day unearthed buried gold valued at
more than 100000 on the Whitfield
farm, near here. The discovery Of
the treasure came as the result Of a
search which began Saturday, May %.
Directions for locating the gold
were contained in papers left to his
son by c. Boaz Whitfield, member of
one of the Oldest and most aristo-
cratic families of Alabama and de-
scendent of the pioneer general,
Nathan Bryan Whitfield.
When Gayus Whitfield began his
search, 35 negroes were employed to
uncover an old boundary stake on the
Shady Grove farm, 18 miles from De-
mopolis, near Jefferson. For week,
the large force worked without re-
suits, but today a large cache of gold
coins was discovered They consist
of 2O-dollar gold pieces, minted in
1850 and before, which were buried
by the wealthy Boaz Whitfield during
the Civil war days.
While the news of the discovery
was confirmed tonight, the exact
amount involved was not divulged.
There are eight heirs who may put
in claim for the gold, all of them
daughters and sons of the four Whit
field brothers, born in Civil war days,
themselves sons of the pioneer GEN
eral Nathan Whitfield. Other gold
coins had been found on the old
Whitfield place prior to today's dis
covery, it was learned tonight, bat
the matter of instituting an active
search for buried treasure was never
given much attention by the Whit
field family until the ancient key left
by c. Boaz Whitfield was found in
Kentucky While definite information
was not available here tonight, citi-
zens here expressed the belief that
Boaz Whitfield buried the gold to
prevent it's seizure by Union forces
during the Civil war Similar in
stances were today recalled by older
inhabitants, but in no case has so
large an amount been involved.
