toward the people for support. He
has served notice that he will carry
his fight into the fall elections, ap-

disregarded in the early stages of
the session, has been accepted by the
majority of the legislature.
Both sides are compiling the rec

Hartley people, by clever work in
parliamentary tactics, have forced
roll calls on almost all of the major
issues. They are holding the roll call

WHEAT PRICES CLIMB

Bigger Advances Abroad Than
Were Expected Bring About
Substantial Gains Today.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, October 13.-Bigger
price advances at Liverpool than
expected brought about an early up
turn today in wheat values here
Action of the Liverpool market was
ascribed to scantiness Of stocks of
breadstuffs abroad and to falling off
in world exports because Of coal
shippers bidding vessel rates up. Start
ing q to tx higher, Chicago wheat
prices continued strong. Corn and
oats were firmer, corn opening at Il
to y gain, but subsequently, reacting
somewhat. Provisions tended down
ward.
Snow and sleet in Canada, as well
as further frost reports from Argen-
tina. attracted considerable notice
among wheat traders today. One of
the Argentine reports was dated
Rosario, which is in the center of the
northern district, where wheat is now
at the blossom stage. The Rosario
report, however, mentioned only light
frost. Advices from Buenos Aires told
Of heavy frost in the south.
Shortage Of the potato crop in cen
trail Europe is being emphasized as
likely to result in larger use Of grain
Dispatches today referred to COM
plants of potatoes rotting in Prussia.
Other advices at hand confirmed re-
duced yields and poor quality of Eu-
ropean wheat and rye crops this year.

local selling on talk of increased spot
offerings in the South and relatively
easy Liverpool cables.
January contracts sold off to 1857,
but the lower level seemed to bring
in considerable trade buying, particu-
larly Of March and May, and prices
steadied up or 10 points from the
lowest before the end OF the first
hour.
The favorable weather map prob
ably was a factor on the early de-
cline, but Southern selling was less
in evidence after the first few min
utes and the appearance of an in
creased trade demand seemed largely
responsible for the rally.

$4,000 AS EXPENSES
FOR LEAGUE MEET

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-CR-
President Coolidge today requested
Congress to appropriate $4,000 TO
cover the expense of participation by
the United States in the League of
Nations preliminary disarmament dis
cussions.
Participation in the work of the
preparatory commission" the Presi-
dent said, involves no commitment
with respect to attendance upon any
future conference or conferences on re-
duction and limitation of ornaments /;
and the attitude of this government in
that regard cannot be defined in adj
vance Of the calling of such meetings"
He added that whether the conditions
and circumstances will prove such as
to make it desirable for the United
States to attend any conference or
conferences which may eventually take
place as a result of the labors of the
preparatory commission or otherwise,
is a question which need not be consid-
cred now"

TOURIST

Two men, captured at Eagle Pass
Thursday, believed then to be the
travelling companions who robbed H.
O. Hurd, Tuesday night and left him
bound and gagged by the roadside,
were exoncrated Monday by Mr.. Hurd.
Deputy Sheriffs Feliciano Flores

to San Antonio Sunday.
When Mr.. Hurd was shown the sus-
poets he declared they were not his
companions but further investigation
by the sheriff's office disclosed that
they were army desertcrs. They have
been turned over to military police.
The suspects will be questioned,
however, about the automobile, in
which they were captured. According
to Sheriff A. Hausscr of Eagle Pass
it beans the same engine number and is
of the same make as n car in which
Mr.. Howard left Salt Lake City about
the first Of December. He has not
been heard from since December and
it is believed that he may have been
slain, possibly at the hands of one of
the men who assaulted and robbed
Mr.. Hurd.
The automobile, according TO Shcr-
iff Hausser, belongs TO A. o. Trcgan-
"a, who recently went to Tampa, Fla,
leaving his family in Utah. After
getting settled Mr.. Treganza wrote to
his wife asking her TO send the car to
him by Howard, n trusted cmploye.

after his departure.
