Chicago Produce Market

Chicago. July Up.
Wheat slipped downward in price to-
day owing good deal to rains over
the spring crop belt and to enlarged
offerings of winter wheat southwest.
The wheat market closed easy, to
lac net lower, with corn at 1 decline to
&c advance, oats a shade to SC up, and
provisions varying from 10c drop TO
soc gain.
The market effect of the rainfall in
the northwest was tempered by tall,
which was current that moisture had
come too late throughout much of the
territory and that the amount as a
rule had been insufficient This was
declared to be especially true regard
ing North and South Dakota Mention
of black rust counted also as a han
d1cap to would-be sellers. On the other
hand. in addition to large offerings of
winter wheat today huge receipts IN
the southwest were expected to be an
nounced on Tuesday, the total arrivals
of newly harvested wheat appearine
likely to show up big after three days
holiday here.
Failure of the Liverpool market to
respond well to yesterdays sharp adj
vance in wheat values on this side of
the ocean acted as an evident further
weight on values, and so, too, did
slowness of export demand today for
North American wheat. Besides, con-
siderable new wheat was sold to arrive
here this month from Illinois parts.
Primary receipts of wheat today were
l,7S0,000 bushels against 1,121 900
bushels last week and 1913, 900 bushels
a year ago. Meanwhile Kansas City
was offering wheat to Illinois mills at
Tic less for shipment at the end of
this month than at present
Showers and higher temperatures in
parts of the corn belt made the corn
market easy. Adverse crop reports
strengthened oats.
Prospects of a light movement of
hogs to market next week helped pro-
visions to average higher.

Bradstreet's Report

New York July 2.-(Pi.-Brad-
streets tomorrow will say:
Better reports from most crops, but
particularly winter wheat corn and
cotton; heavy marketing of winter
wheat. with -four milling more active;
warmer weather and vacation needs
purchasing. have all combined to help
retail trade, the net result being one of
the best weeks in retail buying since
the year began. Especillay cheerful
reports as to present buying and flu
ture prospects come from the south
west, which has harvested one of the
largest winter wheat crops on record.
Southern crop reports as a whole are
good; needed moisture helping cotton
in the southeast. and current esti-
mates of cotton yield issued Just pre-
ylous 10 the great report on Friday
averaged well up to $500, 600 bales.
Optimism as to this crop, however, is
tempered by the easing of prices Of
that staple, which is fully % per cent
below the price of year ago. This
week, however. saw a slight firn1ing
up in cotton goods. whereas rayon fab
ries were marked down heavily as
earlier predicted"

CONGRESS PLANS

fees and other government build
ings.
Immediately after the measure had
been sent on its way to the White
House, the adjournment resolution
was adopted with a chorus of ayes
and scattered nays" but Represen-
tative Rankin, Democrat, Mississippi
demanded a standing vote. This
showed 1919 members favoring ad-
journment and 20 opposed, but the
opponents let it go at that and made
no attempt to force roll call
which would have put members on
on record.
Although the Senate differed action
on the resolution, members of-both
Houses took it for granted the SEES
sion would close tomorrow and
many, anxious to get home before
the Fourth of July and to avoid the
heat of Washington, had started on
their way tonight. The House vote
on adjournment showed scarcely q
quorum on the floor, although leaders
said a greater number would have
responded to a roll call
One of the reasons ascribed by
leaders to the great ndfnber of alb
sentees particularly in the house,
was that the windup of the session
promises to be tame in comparison
with some of the hectic finals of the
past, when the fate of important
legislation was in the balance up to
the last minute.
In addition to completing action
on the deficiency bill. by adopting
the conference report, the house
shelved until the December session
the bill to increase the salaries of
federal judges and approved a
batch of pet measures, most of
them of local or sectional interest.
The senate passed the Dill bill for
control of radio by an independent
commission as a substitute for the
house proposal to vest such author
ity in the commerce department.
This action threw the question into
conference, with leaders doubtful
whether an agreement could be
reached before adjournment.
The senate also completed action
on the measure to increase the pen
sions of civil and Mexican war vet
Grams and their dependents, sending
II to the president, and passed,
among other bills, two house pro-
posals designed to curb patronage
evils
1t also received ions llSJ OIL NOM
nations from President Coolidge,
who during the day signed the CO.
operative marketing bill. the only
farm relief proposal to receive con-
gressional approval at this session.
and the measure liberalization pro-
visions for the world war veterans.
The president also informed con-
gress he had vetoed a bill to au-
thorize oil and gas mining leases on
unallotted land within executive
order of the Indian reservations.
Late in the day the conferees on
the radio bill met but were unable
to agree on points in dispute. Sen
ator Din, Democrat, Washington,
and Representative White, Repub-
lican, Maine, authors of the senate
and house drafts, were designated
to work out a compromise.

DRY LEAGUE
Continued from Page one)

League, it was developed from Mr..
Wheeler, who occupied the stand for
nearly five hours, that both the ma
tional and states organizations do
their own collecting Independent of
each other.
Accountants who audited the books
of the national association at West
erville, Ohio, had furnished Senator
Reed, Democrat, the chairman, with
list of those who contributed more
than $500 to the parent organization,
but Mr.. Wheeler objected to the
names being made public. He eX-
planned these were not contributions
to political campaign and that he
would like to confer with the COM
nittee on the subject.
well, you can state your reasons
now" snapped Senator Reed, who
was the only committee member
present at the moment.
Wheeler insisted he would like to
present the matter to the whole COM
mittee and after a conference with
other members who were quickly
summoned, the chairman announced
decision would be deferred.
Besides the figures of receipts and
expenditures for the state leagues,
Wheeler presented a, number of other
reports. including one from Andrew
Wilson, treasurer of the leagues
campaign committee, showing ex-
penditures of S8,67S,000 in general
elections since October s, 1924. This
did not include expenditures in pri-
maries, the report stating that these
are not required to be reported I'M
der the old federal corrupt practices
act nor the new act passed last
year"
After concluding his examination
of Wheeler Senator Reed said the
committee would seek further light
on the activities of the dry organ
ization tomorrow from DR.. Ernest H.
Cherrington, its general secretary.
and meantime would inquire tonight
into the Campaign chests" raised by
the Republican and Democratic ma
tional committees for the senatorial
and congressional fights this year.
Armed with reports brought back
by the committee agents sent TO
WeSterville, Senator Reed subjected
Mr.. Wheeler TO a long and rigid ex-
animation. Both made a display of
temper at times and the crowd which
damned the committee room fire.
quently broke into laughter at the
exchanges. With his coat off ard
his shirtsleeves rolled up, the COM
mittee chairman frequently stood UP
as he asked questions Sitting well
back in the big witness chair, Mr..
Wheeler frequently looked up over
his glasses as he made replies.

Andrews May Quit
Continued from Page One)

is busy organizing the new forces au-
thorized by Congress for the fiscal year
which began yesterday, and to whip
his organization into shape before he
leaves next week for London.
General Andrews will head the
American mission going to England at
the invitation of that government in
an effort to effect close cooperation
between the countries in enforcement
of the smuggling treaty. There Is
also possibility he will visit other
European capitals unofficially in that
connection. He will not return until
early August.
Saould Mr. Andrews decide to re-
tire, it is not believed he would do so
before September first He does not
want to quit until he is satisfied he
has reorganized the prohibition forces
on working basis.
Another factor in the situation is
the health of Mr.. Andrews, who has
been considerably affected in recent
months by the strain of work
Among the bills which General An
drews proposed to Congress as "neces-
sary to the proper enforcement of pro-
hibition' were those providing for the
creation of separate prohibition and
customs, bureau, measures authorizing
more strict provisions of alcohol and
brewery permits, and another with
severai provisions proposing to put
teeth" in the Volstead act. The
House approved the first of these,
which is still before the Senate, and
the others have been favorably report
ed by committees in both the Senate
and the House. but have not been
brought to vote.
In connection with his new organiza-
ton. Mr.. Andrews was forced today to
find new chief for the alcohol squad.
John Foster resigned that Office and
Mr.. Andrews named Frank Hale. con-
nected with the New York prohibition
Office. as acting supervisor with head
quarters here.
Mr.. Andrews expects to summon all
of the prohibition administrators for
a conference here in September, at
which time he hopes to have this
years campaign in full swing.

CHAIR SENTENCE
FOR MADEIROS IN
KILLING OF CASHIER

Dedham, Mass. July 2.-P)-The
commonwealth of Massachusetts, to-
day imposed the death penalty for
murder for the fourth time within
6O days, when Celestino Madeiros of
New Bedford, convicted of killing a
cashier In a bank holdup, was sent
enced to be electrocuted during the
week of September 5. The four
death sentences were imposed for the
murders of two 70-year- old men, one
bank cashier, the other a night
Waterman. One murderer already
has been electrocuted in Massachu-
sets during 1926. He was Richard
Stewart, negro, convicted of killing
William James, another negro, in
Wilmington.
Madeiros was one of a band of
four who participated in the at
tempted robbery of the Wrentham
National Bank on November /, 1924.
1t was ablished that he had fired
the shots that killed James E. Car
pSHL6F, dS6u cashier.
A little more than two weeks ago
John j. Devereaux. Edward J. Hell
lein and John Mclaughlin were
sentenced to die for the murder of
James II. Ferneau, aged Waterman.
Ferneau was shot down and beaten
to death while the trio were robbing
a street railway earbarn in WaItham.
All were sentenced in Middlesex su-
nerlnr pnlrf n die hn l.
OF August s in the electric chair.
Of the three men who were with
Madeiros during the attempted rob-
berry of the Wrentham Sank, two are
now serving terms Of life imprison-
ment. They are James f. Weeks of
Randolph, Mass, and Albert w.
Bedard of Pawtucket, r. l., who
pleaded guilty to charges of murder
IN the second degree. Harry Gold
berg, indicted for murder and al
legged fourth member of the quartet,
has not been apprehended.
Madeiros was twice convicted of
first degree murder by Norfolk
county juries. Failure of the Judge
to instruct the jury on the defend
ants presumption of innocence won
him the second trial, but an appeal
for a new trial failed.
"A murder trial more notorious
than his own was brought into the
record of Madeiros' case when he
signed confession" purporting to
clear Nicola Sacco and Bartolomeo
Vanzetti of guilt in connection with
the widely known Braintree muir
ders. Sacco and Vanzetti, in whose
cause radical organizations through
out the world carried on demonstra-
lions, have been convicted of the
murder of a paymaster and his
guards. A story by Madeiros to the
effect that he was present with the
Morelli gang of Providence when
they committed the payroll robbery,
has been made the basis of an APP
peal by counsel for Sacco and Van
Zettl.

Streets of City
Being Well Oiled
For Summer Travel

Street Commissioner William E.
Colby stated today that the work of
oiling the streets is going on nicely.
Main, Ticonic and Chaplin streets
have already been covered, and it is
expected that under normal condi-
lions the job will soon be completed.
10000 gallons of liquid asphalt have
been used up to this time, and it is
estimated that it will require at the
very least 10000 gallons more to COW
err the remainder of the more impor-
tant streets.
Four carloads of chloride have thus
far been used on the roadways for
laying the dust The chloride treat
ment is held to be very effective, and
somewhat more economical than
water sprinkling.
Mr.. Colby in speaking of the oiling
of the roads, indicated that he would
appreciate the cooperation of al car
drivers when roads are being covered.
Before the gravel Is spread over 1t,
the asphalt is very readily picked up
by car tires. and where ever this &C.
ours ruts will generally appear later.
Mr.. Colby feels that little thought
and care on the part of drivers will
surely be of help in producing better
results

Canadian parliament.
The fateful ballot was 96 to s5.

I. w. Bird, one Of the fourteen Pro-
gressives who swung to the Liber-
ais.
Dissolution brought to an end the
shortest and most dramatic parlia-
notwithstanding to most observers
the house has ever seen.
Premier Meighen failed to hold a
majority on a constitutional cues
ton raised with regard to his ap-
polntment of acting Ministers.
The dissolution was granted by
the governor general, Lord Byng, on
the recommendation of Premier
Meighen, this afternoon.
General elections may now be
held any time after August II.
Premier Meighen, whose Conserva-
tive government was defeated in
the house of commons early this
morning by one vote will now pro-
coed to formally establish his cab
met. He had not been able to do
this previously since any ministers
he might have appointed to portfol-
los would have automatically lost
their seats in the house He had
therefore been governing by means
of an acting cabinet.
Announcement of the date of the
elections may be expected any time
after MI: Meighen has definitely
formed his cabinet.
Premier Meighen was named
early this week to establish a cab
met to succeed that of Premier
Mackenzie King, which resigned

ferers demanding his services. Soon
he was called upon to lecture in
France, England, Spain, Portugal
and the United States.
DR.. Coue was president of the
Lorraine Society of Applied Psy-
chology and author of a brochure,
SELF Mastery by Conscious Auto
Suggestion" and other papers and
magazine articles. He was 60 years
of age.
After so years as druggist in
Troyes Professor Coue, upon his
marriage to the daughter of a noted
horticulturist,. made his home here.
He was a modest, CHEEKY little man
and a rapid speaker. Among his
patients at one time was the late
Marquis Curzon of Kedleston.
Professor Emil Coue for many
years practised his theories GU auto
suggestion as more or less obscure
physician in Nancy. He became
known to the man in the steet,
howeve, by the development of his
formula Day by day in evey way,

DR.. Coue visited the United States
in 1928 and became the center of
much controversy among physicians
as to the efficacy of the healing
powers of auto suggestion. Although
he announced that he had given up
his day by day" chant, it spread
throughout the country. DR.. Coue
gave man demonstrations of his
methods in American clinics.
He returned to Europe where he
resumed his practice and then came
back again to the United Sttaes in
1924 for short lecture tour. Since
then his life in Nancy has been
rather quiet.
DR.. Coue was born in Troyes.
France, and studied at the Lycee of
Troyes. He spent thirty years as a
pharmacist in Troyes and served as
an inferno in hospitals for two years.
He never caid claims to being a
scientist in the modern sense but
was always strong advocate of the
system of auto-suggestion His
theory, as translated from an article
of his own, is enunciated in a book
