INSANITY PLEA !.
MAY Save GIRL
Rebecca Rogers Uncon-
cerned as Trial Opens.

BIZ United Press
SAN MARCOS, Texas, July Ia
Rebecca. Bradley Rogers unconcern
over the fact she may be on trial
for her life today may be pointed to
by defense attorneys as evidence OF
insanity, which, they claim, is what
caused her to turn bank robber.
Testimony was to begin today,
following selection of jury to try
the case. Under Texas law, bank
robbery is punishable by death. Mrs.
Rogers is a former University Of
Texas coed.
During yesterdays preliminary
skirmishes, the girl chatted gaily
with reporters and friends. She
paid little attention TO the proceed
ingS.
Mrs. Rogers walked into a bank
one day last summer and after gain
ing entrance to the cage on a pre-
tense of being a newspaper woman,
pointed pitsol at bank employees
and took several thousand dollars.
She was arrested a short time later
and most of the loot recovered.
Her husband, Otis M. Rogers,
young attorney of Austin, will testi-
fly in his wife's defense. Rogers has
been seriously i'll, causing postponez
ment of the trial.

CROPS WITHOUT
PROMISE--U. S.
Government Report Shows
Poor Outlook for Year.
from Europ

WASHINGTON. July 12.-The
Agriculture Department announced
crop prospects, as a whole, are far
from promising this year.
The present outlook is for the
shortest corn crop in 26 years; for a
very short fruit crop; for material
reduction IN tobacco production; for
about average production of pota-
toes, wheat, sugar beetS, flaxseed
and feed grains other than corn.
Large crops Of beans, peanuts and
sweetpotatoes and a record hay pro-
duction were predicted.
The department said crop pros
poets are fairly good in the western
states. but. very unpromising in the
eastern part of the corn belt.
The area planted this season is re-
duced around 100000 acres less
than, or 2 per cent below, the acre
age planted at this time last year.
Most of the reduction has occurred
in the Mississippi flood section. The
largest changes were 100000 acres
decrease in cotton, 100000 acres
decrease in corn and 100000 acre
increase in wheat.

Gifts Lavished on Visitor,
Ranging From Pies to
Riding Kit.
BY PAUL r. MALLON,
limited Press Staf Correspondent


RAPID CITY, S. D., July H.
President Coolidge could start a
general merchandise store, stable,
or cowboy Quitting emporium
with gifts he has received since he
arrived in the West for his summer
vacation.
Mail being received here is three
times the size of the White House
mail in Washington and most of it
contains gifts, ranging from beads
for Mrs. Coolidge to pies for Mr..
Coolidge.
In Washington, Mr. Coolidge was
able to build up a ZOO to stable
proportions by donations Of animals.
Here he has received a baby kanga-
roo, two lions, a bear, raccoon, a
peacock, three dogs, two cats and a
pair of rabbits.
Out here fishing tackle, saddles
and ten-gallon hats are favorite
gifts. The other day the President
wanted to offer his personal ply
stefan, Major James F. Coupal, a
ten-gallon headpiece so he referred
him to the hat room at the sum-
mer White House, where he found
thirty-five cowboy somberos piled
up. They had been sent to him by
local citizens.
Three pairs of cowboy chaps and
red flannel shirt also have been
given him and while he wears them
sometimes here, there is specula-
ton among his friends as to the
sensation he could cause if he wore
them on Pennsylvania Ave. in
Washington. Three horses have
been placed at his disposal.
Everett Sanders, secretary to the
President, spends eighteen hours a
day writing letters, thanking we'll
wishers for flies and worms sent to
Mr.. Coolidge.
The President is using flies almost
entirely now. He went fishing be-
fore dinner last night and again
this morning before going to work
at the executive Offices.

MAY
RECEIVE MORE
FOR 1927 CORN
Decreased Acreage, Poor
Crop Conditions Indicate
Higher Prices.

BIZ United Press
WASHINGTON, July 12.-Farm-
ers may realize higher prices for
their corn crops this year, due to
decrease acreage and to poor crop
conditions, Agriculture Department
authorities said today.
Corn acreage this year was
estimated at 97,638,O00 acres, COM
pared with 99,492,O00 acres last
year.
The condition of the crop, at 500
per cent of normal, was the lowest
condition since 1901, and indicated
yield of only 1913 bushels per acre
compared to a five year average Of
27.2 bushels per acre. This year
yield will be the lowest per acre
since 1913.
The corn crop is late in nearly
every state although rapid improve
ment is now being shown, officials
said. Nebraska for instance reported
8,544, 900 acres in corn under cultiva-
ton on July l, representing 95 per
cent of last years acreage. The
State crop itself is 80 per cent of
normal, indicating a production of
1876, 221 900 bushels.
Winter wheat during June made a
strong recovery and condition on
July 1. was reported rs per cent of
normal, indicating a production of
579,416,000 bushels compared to
SGT 100000 bushels forecast a month
ago. The principal increases we're
in Kansas and Nebraska.
Inasmuch as last years winter
wheat production was 627,000,000
bushels, Agriculture Department Of
ficials foresee the possibility of
higher winter wheat prices, though
the increase may not amount to as
much as they anticipated in the
late spring.
The condition of spring wheat
in North Dakota, Minnesota, Mon
tana, and South Dakota was re-
ported above average, and the large
increase in acreage in South Dakota
resulted in a predicted total coun-
try crop Of 274,000,000 bushels this
year compared to 205, 100000 bushels
harvested in 1926. This increased
production it was said, may Offset
somewhat the price increases fore
seen for winter wheat

Good Average
Mondays advance in standard
stocks carried Dow-Jones industrial
averages to new high ground on the
recovery from the June reaction at
1885 and compared with the rec
ord high of 1926 on May 81 last.
Even more stimulating to bullish
sentiment was the rise in Dow-Jones
bond averages to 97.12, against a
record high of 97.78 established
prior to the attack of indigestion ex-
perienced by the bond market
n1id-year.
This evidence that the bond mar
ket was righting itself and the de-
mand for unseasoned dividend
shares was unimpaired, brought
further buying into early dealings.
Main Ones Up
Price movements around noon
suggested that the market leaders
we're resuming the main advance,
with Steel common heading the up
swing in the industrial list.
Leadership of the highest grade
also was afforded in the carrier
group. Bouyancy in these stocks
indicated investment funds were
again flowing into seasoned rails
in good volume.
In the motor and accessory group,
companies having largest treasures
are giving the best market perform
ance. These stocks are Nash, Hud-
son, Packard, Chrysler, General
Motors and Thinker Roller Bearing.

There isn't a stream in all Mos

CROP REPORT
BEARISH; ALL
GRAINS LOWER
Unexpected Tenor of Gov.
eminent News Has Weak
ening Influence on Prices.

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, July 12.-Lower prices
for all grains featured today's open
ing as a result of the rather I'M
expected bearish tone in the Gov
eminent crop reports issued late
yesterday. Wheat prices were rs to
2Hc lower than the previous close;
corn was z to &c off, and oats were
down u too 1c.
Wheat, which declined more than
1c yesterday due to weather condi-
tions, and an increased visible sup
ply, went down heavily again today
when reports showed much larger
winter and spring crop possibilities
than given in private reports last
week.
Figures on the winter yield were
579, 100000 bushels and on spring,
100000 bushels Weather in the
wheat belt continues good, with high
temperatures and scattered rains
Liverpool was lower today.
Corn prices fell after yesterdays
good advance on bullish weather
news, due to the Government re-
port, which although bullish in COM
parison with last years Yield, was
bearish to the extent Of being great
er than the recent private reports.
Mondays report estimated harvest
of 2,274,000,000 bushels. Parts of
the belt continued in need of rain
today.
Despite the latenesS of the crop,
the Government report on oats was
bearish, with an estimate of 1,349.-
100000 bushels, considerably above
the private report figures.
Provisions opened steady.
