F arm Organizations
Report Progress IN
Legislation Desired

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25-R-In an
effort to agree on a general legisla-
tive program, the heads of three farm
organizations the National Grange,
the American Farm Bureau Federation
and the National Farmers Union-held
a conference here today.
Later, in a joint statement, those
who participated said that more
progress was made than has heretofore
been evident after years of effort.
Those who conferred were Louis J..
Tabor, master of the grange; S. H.
Thompson, president of the farm fed
GRAFTON, and Charles S. Barrett, presi-
dent of the farmers union. The legis-
lative representatives of the three Or
ganizations here also took part in the
discussion. In their statement the con-
ferees said they were seeking to get
together on program for the remain
der of this session of congress as we'll
as for the next and they announced
that similar conference would be held
next fall.
No direct reference was made to
any of the farm relief proposals pend
ing in congress on which the three
organizations have not been together
- this situation bringing frequent
statements from senators and repre-
sentatives that congress could hardly
he expected to agree on relief legisla-
tian if farm organizations were unable
to do. so

GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO, Jan. 25.-lP-Wheat ad-
vanced sharply today and closed at
the highest level in some time. Active
buying, in which big commission
houses were prominent, accompanied
the ascent upward. Revision of esti-
mated European import requirements
had a strengthening effect and fur
ther notice was taken of possible mar
ket influence of the crisis in the Far
East Closing quotations on wheat
were strong, 1as cents to IL cents
net higher; corn as q X to 5s cent up;
oats at n cent to as cent advance,
and provisions unchanged to rise of
Is cents. Right from the start, wheat
showed strong undertone, with spec
ulators in the lead as buyers, and ex-
port business from North America
larger in volume. Domestic cash wheat
was especially in demand, with pre-
MUM again firmer for shipment by
way Of the Gulf of Mexico
Advices from Liverpool told of ac-
tive demand of all nearby offerings
of wheat and referred to dearth of
immediate supplies. Stocks of wheat
at Liverpool are apparently nearing
exhaustion, being down to 2S8,O00
bushels, against 2,296,O0O bushels last
year. Meanwhile rye Continued its ad-
vance, reaching the highest point yet
on the present upturn, and it was en-
phasized that pressure of Argentine
and Australian wheat has so far caus-
ed no particular weakness in Euro
pean markets. AS expected, the Cana

CHECK BOOKS
REVEAL HUGE
sum MISSING
More Light Thrown on
Frenzied Financing
Of Julian Petroleum
Corporation

Los ANGELES. Calf. July 28.-
Rl-Grand jgry testimony that S34,-
100000 vans he'd during the frenzied
financing which revolved around the
Julian Petroleum Corporation and re-
suited in its collapse, today shed
further light on the magnitude Of the
great stock oYer-issue and pool loan
bubble ending in the Indictment OF
scores of wealthy men of southern
California
The missing s34,OO0,O00 bubbled up
IN the transcript Of the grand jury
proceedings in the testimony Of r
+. Hahn, an accountant. He said
that only $4,000, 900 of SlO0. .OOO. .OO0
had been traced through the check
book stubs of Jack Bennett, now
sought as the central figure in the
crash. The check book is the chief
record of the loans and stock pools
which pyramided on the flimsy Sc
curity of over-issued stock 10 the
point where they crushed the cor
poration.
In a previous announcement that
all trade Of the S34, ,OOO.0 900 had been
lost, the district attorneys office
announced that this did not mean
the huge sum with him in his hurried
departure from Los Angeles just
prior to the disclosure Of the stock
oyer-issue OF more than four million
shares.
We know Bennett received ap-
proximatcly Sl0.0O0.0OO from the sale
Of stock 20 Los Angeles brokers
which did not 20 back mot this
bank account" testified Hahn. I'VE
can prove that Bennett received
from various sources subsequent To
January /, 1926. in excess of $780,
0O0. 600
The attempt Of the authoritits IA
solve the mystery Of where the S34.-
100000 went has centered IN an at
tempt TO hunt down Bennett, whose
true name is Jaco bBerman. and A.
Swanson. another Of the III men ae-
cused in the indictments Of having
been the leaders in the financing
which wrecked the corporation.
