Guns to Blame

'If they'd been little revolvers we
might have taken those dicks down
along the lake and made them walk
back" Lee said.
Lee divulged for the first time
circumstances surrounding his es-
cape. from the Jail at Franklin.
After breaking Jail on the eve
of his trial for the murder of
Peek, Lee said, he came directly
to indianapolis, going through the
city afOOt to a point on the Michi-
gan I'd. where he caught a bus.
for Lafayette. After staying there
two days at n hotel, he said, he
started South. He had $50 when
he broke Jail, he declared, intimat-
ing it had been concealed in his
clothing all the time he was in
Jail.
"Remy prosecutor William H.
Remy) has been claiming for two
years he's got a good case against
me-" Lee observed. "Well, I'm not
saying anything about it until 1
see a lawyer"
The little prisoner described con-
ditions in southern prisons as de-
plorable.
They've got lot Of big fat farm
ers holding political jobs at $50 a
month in that Nashville prison who
don't know what it's all about"
Lee charged that ''fOr trivial
things" guards strap prisoners to
a beating board and whip them.
All the time he was in the prison,
he said, he did not have a mouthfuI
of meat. The diet consisted of corn
bread and cow peas, Lee declared.
How old are you, Lee?" a deputy
asked him.
'Twenty-nine."
"Why, you were that old when you
was in here in 1924"

GRAIN MARKET
CLOSES LOWER
Traders sit Tight and
Await Developments.

By United Press
CHICAGO, April 24.-Grain prices
closed fractionally lower on the Chi
cago Board OF Trade today. Fea.
lures were lacking in all markets,
with traders disposed TO "sit tight"
and await developments, partly in
the weather.
Trading in wheat consisted largely
Of an evening up process after the
holidays, with prices closing only
fractionally lower in the May to
unchanged in the referred futures.
Operators for the most part were
unwilling to remain either long or
short, owing to the unsettled
weather conditions and the posi-
bility OF bullish statistics for Mon
day.
May wheat was extremely cratic.
The deferred futures showed weak
ness early in the session, but gath
cred strength toward the close. This
was accredited to the belief that the
rains prevalent throughout the
Northwest and Nebraska were not
sufficient to be of any permanent
benefit to the growing crop.
Corn was under pressure through
out the session, showed much more
weakness than wheat and closed
fractionally lower in all deliveries.
Most OF the weakness was accredited
to locals, who sold persistently, par
ticularly in the May delivery.
Oats closed fractionally lower in
an extremely quiet market News
of export or cash demand was en-
tirely lacking.
Provisions closed higher.

By United Prcss
NEW YORK, April 24.-The short
session proved active, with general
strength developing through the list.
Sentiment was helped considerably
by favorable reports from the struc-
tural steel industry and improved
retail business in mercantile lines
which had followed quickly with
the opening of spring weather.
Satisfactory progress was appar-
emily being effected in the negoti-
ations to arrive at funding OF the
French debt to the United States.
At adjournment of the meeting of
our debt funding commission in
Washington, Secretary Mellon said
he expected negotiations to be con-
cluded soon, while other members
regarded it likely that definite &C.
ton would come next week.
Motor stocks were principally in
demand, with General Motors the
leader on the forthcoming quarterly
report and expectations Of sub
stantial cash dividend next month.
The market closed higher.

In the Cotton Market

NEW YORK April 24.-The cotton
market opened before the news of recent

quickly advanced about 10 points. One of
Texas reports that 90 per cent OF the
Texas crop will remain to be planted after
to turn from the contemplation of crop,
the records of which must soon be filed
away for the study of statisticians to
facing the dangers which already surround
the new crop. We can think OF nothing
against cotton which has not had it's fun
season is backward, and forward looking
spinners should begin TO protect their in
terest by purchase of the new crop.

DRY LAW SEEN
GREATEST ISSUE
SINCE SLAVERY
Rift in Middle West Over
Prohibition Is Becoming
Serious.
BIZ Times Special

CHICAGO, April 24.-Politically
and socially, the prohibition issue
has caused a greater rift in the mid
dlewest than any issue since slav-
cry brought the North and South
into open conflict.
In addition to becoming a domi-
nant point of controversy in a half
dozen State political campaigns the
wet and dry issue is injected into
nearly every convention of social or
business groups, whether State or
national.
Thus far the Anti-Saloon League
and the Women's Christian Temper
ance Union have prevented any of
these meetings from endorsing modi-
flcation of the Volstead act.
