characterizes as illegal.
Her large claim. however, goes
back to the first treaty of 1875. From
that time on, in successive slices, the
Indiana lands were ceded to the
United States in various treaties
dated as late as 1850, the terms of
which Mrs. Brady claims have not
been carried out by the Govern
ment, therefore, invalidating the ce-
cession treaties. According to fig
ures given by the House Committee
on Indian Affairs, there are only
about 400 Miamis left to divide the
State should the improbable happen
and their claims be granted.
About thirty-fve of them live in
Indiana, mostly around Wabash and
Peru. The rest are said to be mostly
in Oklahoma.

REID BEFORE
GRAND Jury
45 MINUTES
insult Utility Official Called
in~on His Return to

SOUGHT THREE WEEKS
Believed to Have Been Asked
About Contributions.

AFTER be1ng sought as a witness
for three weeks, Harry Reid, presi-
dent of the Interstate Public Service
Company, an insult utility, spent
forty-five minutes this morning be-
fore the Marion County grand jury.
The jury is probing alleged political
graft and corruption in Indiana, and
it was believed that Reid was ques-
toned about charges concerning con-
tributions by insult utilities to Re-
publican campaign funds.
Reid returned to indianapolis,
Tuesday night. He left the city short
ly after Corporation Counsel Alvah
j. Rucker filed suit in Circuit Court
for an injunction to prevent the pub
lie service commission from hearing
the proposed merger Of the two
local light companies. In his suit,
Rucker declared the insult interests
had paid $4,000 into Governor
Jackson's 1924 gubernatorial cam
paign fund, in order to insure Sc
lection Of public service commission
members favoring the utilities.
No Comment

brought to the grand jury rooms.

ferred with officials Of utility inter
ests. Robert l. Todd, president Of

Benjamin Reed, attorney, was said
to have been subpoenaed to testify
today, but did not appear. AS soon

GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO, Feb. 11.-Accompanied by
reports of the most active demand
for flour since October last, the price
of wheat took a new swing upward
today, closing quotations on wheat
were firm, 5s to % cents net higher,
May new 169 to 1895 and July 15Oh
to 1505s, with corn at s4 cents to LIS
cents advance, oats showing 7s to Il
cent rise, and provisions unchanged
to 10 cents lower.
Highest prices of the day in the
wheat market came in the final four
due to selling on the part of the
houses with eastern connections had
carried values down to the lowest
level reached here of late, on the
other hand, good share of the new
flour business reported was for quick
shipment.
4 Considerable evening up for the
holiday tomorrow in the wheat mar
ket helped also to lift values just
before the finish, recent sellers turn
ing to the buying side. Throughout
the day, prices averaged higher, with
offerings light at times and with
some emphasis being given to- unusu-
al hazards said to be attended on
speculative sale at present owing to
scantiness of public contract stocks
here and no immediate prospect of
an increase.
Some of today's buying of wheat
resulted from the fact that the mar
ket had suffered decline of IL
cents in a little more than a week
and that rally was being looked for
by numerous traders. Against this
was the circumstance that indications
pointed to larger world shipments
this week, especially from Argentina,
whereas export call for North Amer

Corn and oats were affected chiefly
by the action of wheat.
