Northwestern Showers Are
Factor in Grain Pits.

BIZ United Press
CHICAGO, May 26. - Showers
over parts Of the American North
west and forecasts of rain for the
Canadian belt sent wheat prices
down at the opening on the Board
of Trade today. Corn broke with
wheat and oats changed fraction
ally.
At tn eopening wheat was off 1s
to 5s cents; corn was down Is to
y cent, and oats ranged from Il
cent off to = cent higher. Pro-
visions were sharply lower.
Although there was no change in
weather conditions over the Ca
madam northwest Friday, thunder
storms are forecast for today.
Showers were reported at Mime
apolis. but there was no other pre-
cipitation in the American belt.
Liverpool is closed today and will
be closed Monday.
A better run of corn to primary
markets is expected, now that plant
ing has been completed, but it is
expected that the break in prices
Friday will stop selling by farmers.
The market is technically sound.

No Word From Mobile for
"a Hours; Fuel Near
Exhaustion.
BY LARS HANSEN
United Press staff Correspondent

KINGS BAY, Spitzbergen, May
26.-Improved weather in the south
ern regions of the Arctic Sea today
brought hope that the polar dirigi-
BILE Italia might fight its way out of
the stormy northern skies, although
no direct word had been heard from
the craft here for twenty-four
hours.
At l p. m. today a. m. Eastern
daylight time-the dirigible had
been in the air about 7e12 hours
and was almost 80 hours overdue at
its hangar here.
The supply ship, Citta di Milano,
was fueling, preparatory to leaving
early this afternoon for North Spitz-
bergen on a relief expedition in
search of the Italia One hundred
fifty tons Of coal we're taken aboard.
No Word Since Friday
Since noon yesterday, there had
been no direct word and the last
reports we're depressing. At that
time the Italian explorer, who twice
has looked down on the North Pole
from dirigible's cabin. said
progress was slow.
One motor, he reported, was dis
abled. The course had been
changed to the northward and
Mobile hoped to reach the Mossum
Islands.
Wireless receivers believe the
Mossum Islands may mean MoSsel
Bay, about 400 kilometers from
Kings Bay, near Sc degrees lati-
tude.
Then came silence. after Mobile
had kept in regular contact with
his supply ship. through the entire
northern expedition.
Fueal Near Exhaustion
The dirigible has fuel to last un-
til sometime today. Then it might
be able to drift for some hours.
Provisions have been stocked aboard
the craft for many days, it was said
here.
It was feared the Citta di Milando
cruise would be Of little avail. Ice
packs clog the waters around Kings
Bay and it was considered unlikely
the vessel would be able to make
much headway.
There also was possibility that
Mobile, in shifting the course of his
craft, may have headed toward
Vadsoe, Norway, where he might
make a landing.

One is DR.. w. W. Wineinger
of Lighton, Kan, whose body
was found twenty-five miles
south of Oakley, Kan, yester-
day with shotgun wounds IN the
head.
The other is E. A. Kessigner, CASH
ier, whom the bandits abducted
when they robbed the bank. No
word of him has been received since
the hold-up, and he is believed to
have been slain.
The bandits, to all appearances,
lured DR.. Wineinger away from his
home to dress wounds received by
the bandits in a gun fight at the
bank.
Called to Dress Wounds
The physician received call say"
ing that man had been hurt Sc
verely in an accident. Nothing more
was heard from him until his body
was found in a ravine between Oak
ley and Scott City.
Kansas authorities believed they
had forced the bandits into hiding
in the brakes along the Smoky Hill
river, somewhere between Oakley
and Scott City.
The pursuers were prepared for a
battle, since the bandits we're re-
ported to be armed with machine
gun.
All bridges from Dodge City to
the Colorado State line were
guarded closely.
Reported in Colorado
Meanwhile, report from La
Junta, said that several men be-
lieved to be the Lamar bandits,
had succeeded in Fleeing Kansas
and, doubling back into Colorado,
had staged a running gun battle
with authorities between Coolidge,
near the State line, and Hadley, IL
miles east of here.
Denver police we're sent into
northern Colorado and Nebraska to
aid in the search there, while hum
drdeS of other men secured terri
tory as far south as New Mexico and
Oklahoma.
The fugitives were believed to be
carrying $4,000 in cashand a large
amount of securities, principally
Liberty bonds.
Evidence Of Torture
Kansas authorities believed DR..
Wineinger may have been tortured
before he was killed. His body bore
evidences of a severe beating, and
it was thought that, discovering the
men with whom he was dealing, the
physician may have refused to
help them.
A note left in his car near where
the body was found referred to re
venge on doctors" and it was held
that the wounded bandit may have
died and the others taken vengeance
on the physician.
DR.. Wineinger's bandages, medis
cine case and coat we're strewn at
intervals along a highway leading
toward Colby, Kan, and 1t was
thought the bandits may have fed
