nestle rate as far as Chicago and the
export rate from Chicago on to the
seacoast.
Judge Dennis ]. Normoyle decided
that since the last Of the wheat was

the last day the export rate was in

have been export throughout. The rail-

GRAIN EXPERT SKEPTICAL.
Fred Uhaman Of Chicago Doubtful Oh
Foreign Sales Plan.

CHICAGO, March 10 R.-Vice
President Fred Uhln1an Of the Chicago
Board Of Trade, who is one Of the fore
most figures In the export grain trade
of the United States, said today regard
ing announcements from Washington
tht the Farm Board was trying to ar
range credits for wheat sales:
Regarding the possible financing Of
wheat and cotton for other countries.
It was demonstrated last year that all
the larger solvent countries like Eng
land, France and Belgium, do not need,
or care, to purchase wheat on credit.
The world has been buying for the last
six months 100000 bushels Of wheat
weekly for cash. The only countries
which have availed themselves OF
credits the last year were Germany and
China.
Regards Needs As Slight.
AS far as Germany Is concerned.
from the best authorities, we believe
that country can get along from now
until next crop year with about 1000
900 bushels OF wheat importations.
which would practically require only
$4,000, 600 to $4,000 900. That country's
credit at the present time Is at a dis
count OF rs per cent or more, and II
they were to buy wheat at the market
price, and give as collateral their
notes, which are at discount Of IS per
cent or more, it would be giving away
that much more.
AS far as China Is concerned, II any
wheat is sold, it would have the same
effect as the barter trade which was
= made with Brazil. China is buying
wheat right along from Canada, and If
the United States sells its wheat there,
there will be that much more wheat
offered from Canada to Europe. It
would not increase the consumption.
Furthermore, China's credit also Is at q
discount, and unless CORRESPONDENCE
higher price Is obtained for the wheat,
themselves as far as obtaining values
is concerned.
Sees Changed Situation.
Furthermore, the wheat which the
Farm Board owns Is in such q position
that sales to China would be very i'm
practical, as the freight rates would be
exceedingly high. It would have tc
compete with Canadian wheat which
can be shipped at very low rates from
Vancouver. The situation was entirely
different last year when the Pacifc
Coast had very large surplus, and
when the Farm Board owned lots Of
wheat out there, which was more o.
less tributary to China As far as w
know, none OF the wheat owned by thu
Farm Board Is tributary TO the Orient
We believe that wheat shipped from
Missouri River points or east would cost
almost % much for freight and ex.
penses as the Farm Board has borrowed
On the wheat from the banks"

GANG LEADER ON SCREEN IS
 OF FINE TAMIL Y
Homicide Squad to Be Shown Last Times To-
 night at Capitol

Leo Carrillo's family once owned Tia Juana and Agua Caliente. These two playgrounds of exhausted stars, well-to-do Iowans fed up with the uneventful life of Los Angeles, and oil and real estate barons of a converted desert, were once a desert, too. They formed a small part only of the thousands of acres which were granted to the great grandfather of Leo Carrillio, star of Homicide Squad playing for \ the last times tonight at the Capi- ;tol theatre.
 This great grandfather was an Italian, Senor Juan Vandini fam ous navigator.
 Grant Of Land
 For his exploits he was given a grant to all of that territory in Northern Mexico which includes the famous sporting paradises. But land is often an emoarrass- ment. As the Carrillo family. into which Vandini married, accustomed itself to modern rather than Seig- nioral methods of life, it gradually divested itself of these vast acres.
 Leo Carrillo, though he has pro- per respect for the Hispano-Cali fornia aristocracy from which he sprang, has no regrets for the loss of Tia Juana or Agua Caliente.
 Enjoying Life On Yacht
 At this moment he can look with equanimity across the gulf of Southern California to his former ducal domain He is on Henry Do- heny's yacht, enjoying vacation after making two Universal pie Fturss.
 This story of the police from the standpoint of the police by Henry LaCossitt, police reporter, has a supporting cast which includes Mary Brian, Russell Gleason, Noah Beery, J. Carroll Naish and Walter Percival.
 George Melford directed.
 An added attraction on tonight's program will be That Rascal, !" starring Harry Barris.
 For theatregores whose taste in movies has become a trifle jaded, there is a genuine treat in store in this comedy. Barris is a youthful appearing comic who simply radi- ates pep and personality with an ability to make the spectator laugh with and at him.

 Armed with shotguns, these young men patrol the snow-cov- cred Nebraska prairies in search of coyotes, valuable for their pelts as well as for bounties.
 They swoop down on their prey, giving it both barrels and are able, by virtue of skis attached. to their landing-gear, to land, load the carcass in the plane, and go on with the hunt.
 In three days of this sort of hunt ing in sub-zero weather they bagged 12 pelts in couple of hours fly ing each day They receive an average of $6 each for the pelts.

Marie Derssler-PoEy Moran picture Politics" which will be previewed at l o'clock tonight at the Capitol treatre and which will be shown at regular performances tomorrow night.
 For there is nothing suave or sophisticated about the story or the characters of Politics" The set ting is small town and the pople are ordinary middle class folk who do their own cooking, mend their own socks and wear bargain gar ments.
 d-Fashionod Ideas
 Consequently the job of the scenic artists was not so much to create new and startling ideas as to reproduce the old fashioned and settled ones in street, parks, build ings, homes, furniture and back yards. And they went at It with a vengeance.
 When the picture opens Miss Dressler is discovered seated on typical small town back porch. She has a big pan in front of her and is cleaning chicken. Be- hind her can be glimpsed line containing the family wash. Even the noises typical of such an at mosphere are reproduced for over the fence comes shouts of quarrel ing children and from an open window can be heard the high cs of Polly Monan, who is practicing her vocal lessons.
 Interior Is Commonplace
 The interior of this house is equally commonplace with its out moded furniture and claw feet, is glass dome over the dining room table, its fancy draperies and the inevitable corner doodab contain ing miscellany of knickknacks.
 The story of Politics" concerns the hilarious experience of Miss Dressler in her attempt to become mayor of a small town. Miss Moran is her staunch supporter in the job of getting votes and the cast also includes Roscoe Ates, Karen Morley, William Bakewell John Milan. Joan Marsh, Tom Mcclure, Kane Richmond, and Mary Alden.

HOLLYWOOD, Cal, March 16.-- This new South Sea film of Doug Fairbanks will be a burleSque on Robinson Crusoe."
 The day before he sailed for Tahiti, Doug was describing the story to a small group in his dres- sing-room at United Artists.
 Briefly, the plot calls for Dougs character to leave a yacht, accom- panied only by a small dog, and through exercise of ingenuity to support life on a desert island. Paralleling the Crusoe legend, there's a savage, who will be called Friday the Thirteenth"
 The whole adventure will be filmed in a spirit of farce and slapstick comedy. The title of the picture, in the same vein, will he The Tropical Knight.
 Hollywood doesn't expect it's fa- nous wanderer to return before two or three months. M
