BATHER THlEF'S VICTIM
Loss Of Shoes, Watch Reported by
Lick Greek Swimmer.

The next time Melvin Miller. 14l0
South New Jersey street, goes swim
ming he will hang his clothes in a
safety deposit vault, not on the
traditional hickory limb, he decided
today.
Chief reason for his decision was
that while he dived and splashed in
Lick creek near the 600 block Hanna
avenue Wednesday, some one rif1ed
his clothes and made away with his
shoes and a watch worth $50.

SCARED SHORTS
FORCE CORN Up.
FOR new GAINS
Wheat Fails to Advance on
Weakness at Liver
pool.
BY HAROLD E. RAINVLLE
United Press stan Correspondent

CHICAGO, July 3o.-Again July
corn spurted upward as the Board
of Trade opened today and added
2ls to 8 cents to its e-cent advance
of Wednesday. Shorts are taking u
bad trimming and with Thursday
the last trading day. appear to be
in for a bad rty-eight hours. The
deferred months were firm.
There was no rain of Importance
overnight for either wheat or corn
and temperatures remain high in
most places. Wheat was weak and
lower, led by July, on the failure Of
Liverpool to advance. The English
market eased after a firm opening
and was comparatively weak on the
larger Russian shipments. Oats
we're about steady, the decline be-
ing held in check by the strength in
corn.
Wheat Holding Well
At the opening wheat was Il to
&c lower, corn was 4 to &c higher
with July 215 to Sc up and oats
unchanged to sc lower. Provisions
were easy.
Liverpool started higher as ex-
pected but by mid-afternoon was
back to the previous close. Wheat
prices are holding well due to the
unfavorable spring wheat reports
but the majority of traders have
not made up their minds as to the
later trend. Many expect the price
to fall to 45c per bushel unless the
export demand picks up materially.
Rain was. had at only two points in
the northwest overnight and the
spring wheat crop still needs mois-
ture badly.
Corn Shorts Squeezed
Shorts in corn were badly
squeezed Wednesday and with only
two days left for July the pit Is
intensely nervous over the outcome.
The open interest still is large and
unless receipts increase greatly to-
day and Thursday further rise is
likely. Deliveries this morning were
100000 bushels. Temperatures are
high in the main producing areas
and the need for rain now is urgent.
adding to the bullishneSs in the pit.
Oats reports are less favorable due
to the hot and dry weather all
though the greater part of the crop
is made and harvested Shorts are
nervous as the strength in corn is
affecting both wheat and oats.

By Times Special
WASHINGTON, July 30-While
the United States and Canada are
writing notes about the captured
Canadian rum-runner, Josephine K,
it was learned today the vessel
itself has been returned to its
owners. The boat was taken by the
coast guard Jan. 25 outside New
York.
Whether the boat again is carry
ing cargoes of rum is unknown, but
officials admitted there was nothing
except coast guard vigilance to pre-
vent its being so used.
Because Of a crowded docket in
the federal court of the southern
district of New York, the Josephine
KS case cannot be tried for some
time. For this reason the boat was
returned to its owners under bond,
with the stipulation that it be pro-
duced when the case was called.

DALLAS, Tex, July 80 - The
movement favoring Governor
Franklin D. Roosevelt, of New
York, as Democratic presidential
nominee, left the primary stage in
Texas today with Democratic
women meeting here to form a
statewide organization in Roose-
velt's behalf.
Among the leaders of the meeting
was Mrs. r. F. Lindsay, president
Of the Texas federation of women's
clubs, and Miss Laura Hobby, sister
of the ex-governor.
Considerable antagoniSm to
Roosevelt was expressed because of
the prohibition issue, but leaders of
the movement for him contended
his admitted "wetness" would lose
him few votes in this state.
