DEMOCRATS NOT
LIKELY TO SPLIT
ON PROHIBITION
By CARL D. GROAT
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent)

HOUSTON, Texas, June %
Prohibition remained today a fight
ing subject for the Democratic Ma
tional Convention, but with dis
tinct signs that it will not split that
gathering wide open.
Statements of Norman f. Mack
and Governor Smith on this delicate
question had served to bring the
controversy into the open and anti
Smith drys were promising their
campaign against "any and all
vets" would be reflected in the bal
toting on the presidential nomina-
tion next week.
Prayer meetings are being held
by the women drys in their fight
against Smith and also against
Reed. Monday will be for them a
day Of prayer.
In some quarters there is a ten.
deney to believe that the women
drys lacked organized leadership
sufficiently strong to cope with the
formidable delegate position of
Governor Smith. Governor Dan
Moody Of Texas will address them
Monday and he may stir some fresh
enthusiasm in their ranks.
1t is generally admitted that Nor
man Mack s announcement that
Governor Smith was opposed to
prohibition, followed by Smith 3
own rcitcration Of his previously
known position on prohibition, had
aeeentuated the dry-wet situation
lcrc.
May Patch Up Troubles
smith, however, is known TO be
ready to run on a strong law en-
forcemcnt plank; and he is reliably
reported to have no intention of
trying to force modification-or
light wine and heer-plank upon the
convention.
The signs now point to bridging
the wet-dry troubles amicably so
far rs the convention itself is CON.
ccrncd. Senator George of Georgia
has let it be known that his fol
lowers intend TO support the convcn-
tion's choice.
Senator Pat Harrison of Missis-
sippi is known to feel there will be
no southern bolt from the nominee.
Senator James Reed is here with
some fight in him, but it is not be,
lieved he is prepared to make any
big party split.

LOS ANGELES, June 23.-When
a 1920 caliber revolver was found
in his room, Earl Parker, close
friend of Mrs. Marion Harris and
an acquaintance of the murdered
man, was ordered held today as a
material witness in the Staying of
John L Glab, Chicago druggist.
Ballistic experts have determined
that it was a bullet from a 1920
which ended Glab S life.
Parker was said to be the man
who has been under police surveif-
lance for three days as suspect in
the mystery shooting last Monday
night.
According to authorities, he and
Mrs. Harris have been engaged in
liquor traffic together. Mrs. Har-
ris, also held as material witness,
was arrested after it was ascertain
ed that she was close friend of the
widow, Mrs. Hazel Glah, formally
charged with the murder.
The gun, found in the closet OF
Parker's room, will be turned over
to gun experts who will attempt to
determine from rifling marks
whether the shot which caused
Glab's death was fired from the
weapon.
! LOS ANGELES, June CIV. r.
i MacIntyre, former policeman and
asserted lover of Mrs. Hazel Glab,
was freed today by police who held
him in connection with the murder
of John /. Glab, former wealthy
Chicago pharmacist.
With his release police gave up
one theory that he might have
known about the murder, which a
rose from statements that Glab
made friends saying he feared an
g" "ex-cop.
Mystery surrounding the murder
became more ramified today as po-
lice questioned Mrs. Marion Harris,
arrested as a material witness in the
case.
Mrs. Harris was n close personal
friend of Mrs. Hazel Glab, widow OF
the pharmacist who is held on d
murder charge.
Sought to Aid Widow
Police say it was she who sought
to retain a prominent criminal at
torney to defend Mrs. Glab. 1t was
also she who called W. r. MeIntire,
asserted lover of Mrs. Glab, and
told him Mrs. Glab was in trouble
after Glab's body was found. Glab
was killed Monday night as he en-
tered his automobile at his Van
Nuys home.
Police said after Mrs. Harris was
arrested she began debating many
interesting statements of her rela-
tionship with the Glabs, MacIntyre
and Ethyl Kaser, niece of Mrs.
Glab.
| Miss Kaser is also under arrest
in the case.
Then, taken by sudden impulse,
Mrs. Harr isseized the notes from

GRAIN MARKET

CHICAGO, Feb. IA H9 - Soaring
prices in the corn market today went
as high as 81 bushel. No. 2 yellow
corn for immediate delivery touched
that quotation, the topmost establish
ed since last September. Widespread
wet weather interfering with the move
ment of corn brought about buying OH
big scale today and the consequent
jump in values.
Corn closed unsettled, 1c to 11ac net
higher, with wheat 1&c off to Bc up,
cats at shade decline to 1sc advance,
and provisions unchanged to rise of
22c.
Houses with eastern and western
connections were especially conspicuous
today in the general rush. to buy corn.
The ensuing upward swing of the mar
ket carried May delivery prices 7c
above the minimum prices current last
week, and lifted the July corn delivery
to the highest level yet this season.
Aside from wet weather, an advance
of hc to 115C in the cash corn trad
ing basis here was q bullish influence,
and so too was the fact that corn re-
ceipts in Chicago today were only All
cars, total far below what was look
ed for.
Reports were at hand that excessive
moisture IN parts of the corn belt had
put rural wagon roads into the worst
conditions witnessed in years 1t was
asserted that under such circumstances
farmers were unable to deliver much
corn, even if willing to sell at ex-
listing prices On the other hand, up
turns in the corn market led to heavy
profit-taking sales on the part of
holders of future delivery contracts and
a material reaction from the days best
prices enSued. Nevertheless the mar
ket undertone remained firm from

Wheat was inclined to weakness CO
