PEYTONGORDON
WINS FIGHT

District Attorney Peyton Gordon
has won his fight for confirmation
by the Senate.
The Senate Judiciary subcommit.
tee, of which Senator Means of
Colorado, is chairman. has decided
to drop various minor charges
made against Major Gordon and to
make a favorable report. upon his
confirmation to the full committee
next Monday. This action will
mean that the nomination will be
reported favorably to the Senate
and that confirmation will follow
Immediately.
There was no real fight made
against Major Gordon before the
subcommittee, Senators said today.
One witness appeared to accuse him
of dilatory and negligent conduct
with regard to certain cases in
volving st. EliZabeth's Hospital. No
other opponents of the District At
torney appeared and the subcom-
mittee did not think any of the
charges of sufficient importance to
warrant an investigation.

thirds Of farm profits, B. F. Yoa-
KUN, Of Farmingdale, Long Island,

WHEAT HIGHER;
CORN IN SLUMP
Heat Complaints Steady
I Grain Quotations.

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, June S0.-Grain prices
at the close and during most of the
session of the Chicago Board Of
Trade today presented the rather un-
usual spectacle Of a rising wheat
market and downward trend in the
other pits.
July wheat closed unchanged from
Tuesdays final quotation, but the
other positions registered an adj
vance of q cents. The trend was
downward early in the day because
Of weak cables, fine growing weather
and heavy crop movement, but hea.
complaints from the Northwest stead
led the market, while caash prices
were also better, although exports
amounted to only 100000 bushels.
The defeat of the F'ess bill took
the life out of corn and that cereal
hit new crop lows, closing from Y
to 21s cents under the previous fig
ures. The fine crop news lowered
cash values, while the fact that de-
liveries Of the grain are expected to-
morrow was another bearish factor.
July oats lost rs. to touch a new
low, while the other positions were
also fractionally off. There was
considerable changing from one po-
sition to another in the pit today,
but otherwise it was without any
particular feature.
Provisions closed higher because
two commission houses were heavy
buyers of September lard. A large
packer proved to be free seller.
