Discovery of European

CHICAGO, January 6.-Grain took
an upward swing today, with corn at
times outdoing wheat. Discovery OF
the European corn borer in Illinois
caused buying of corn. Advances in
freight rate from the Southern Hem

Argentina. fair export demand for
North American wheat and notice of
less wheat afloat for Great Britain
than year ago all tended to give

Wheat trade leaders attracted at.
tention to the fact that Chicago is at
present the cheapest domestic market.
and that the stock of wheat here is
scant and is steadily decreasing. Ii

Boston Gun Battle Ends as
Riot Squads Storm
House.
Pv the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press
BOSTON, November GA gun bat
tie between so policemen who besieged
a South End house and it's four occu-
pants for hours ended at daybreak
today when riot squads stormed the
building and dragged out two negroes
and two women, one OF whom was
white. Scores of shots were fired.
Tear bombs were used.
One man was wounded seriously
The siege threw a thickly settled dis
trict inhabited largely by negroes into
an uproar.
The police were unable to explain
the cause of the trouble, which started
at a drinking party.
Man Is Wounded.
Those arrested were Robert Polite,
AZ, and his wife, 30 negroes; man
named Brooks, who had two bullet
wounds in his neck and was in Sc
rious condition, and a white woman.
who said she was Miss Lillian j..
Coyne of Brookline.
Three policemen We're taken to a
hospital with Brooks, unconscious
from the Tunes of tear bombs, Wnlcn
made adjoining buildings untenabe
for hours.
Mrs. Polite was suffering severe in
iuries which she said We're inflicted
by her husband. The other members
of the party were variously battered.
A police sergeant and two officers
sent to investigate a complaint that
fight was in progress in the house
drew the first fire as they approached
the building. They returned the fire
and sent for reserves. In short time
the streets on both sides of the house
were lined with uniformed men, and
the crackle Of their guns reused thou
sands in the neighborhood.
Tear Bombs Used.
With the arrival or reserves. tear
bombs were brought ir'o play. Every
window in the hol was broken by
police, who took u. positions in ad-
joining houses and on roofs.
A squad which had effected entrance
on the first floor was armed with axes,
and in the course of a steady march
TO the third floor, where combined fire
and gas had forced the beleaguered
party, hardly a door escaped demoli-
ton. The walls were bullet-riddled.
