however, that unless there has been

Bolivia Statistics.
Statistics show that Bolivia spent

No Churches Have Been Closed, Gov
ernOr Says.
TUCSON. Ariz., May % (P,.-Ru-
dolfo Elias Gales, governor of Sonora,
Mexico, declared here last night his
recent order that Catholic priests
leave the state is merely enforcement
of provisions Of the Mexican consti-
tuition of 1917.
No churches have been closed. he
declared, and the cessation of church
activity is the result Of priests OF
those churches refusing to comply
with the laws of Mexico.

CUTTEN'S DEALS
IN 193OD|SCLOSED
U. S. Says Hyde Asked
Trader to Quit Hammering
Wheat Prices Down.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
CHICAGO, May 22.-Arthur w.
Cutten, famous grain trader, was
asked by the Secretary Of Agriculture
back in 1880 to please quit hammer
ing wheat prices down "in a time Of
distress" the Government disclosed
yesterday.
Along with a telegram to Cutten
from the then Secretary Arthur NJ.
Hyde, the prosecution in Cutten's trial
as misbehaving speculator produced
an answer over Cutten's signature in
which he said he was virtually out Of
the market.
Shortage Reported.
The Government put this into evi-
dence alongside its figures that Cut
ten was short" by between two and
three million bushels that day.
Defense attorneys retailiated with
a charge that the whole case against
the famous grain trader. who faces
possible loss of trading privileges for
alleged violation Of the rules, is part
and parcel Of a calculated program
to restrict freedom Of speech, the
press and the radio"
Attorney Orville j. Taylor made
this statement when Government
Counsel Leo F. Tierney read from
some magazine articles published by
Cutten in 1892, under the title The
Story of a Spectator, Tierney
quoted Cutten's description Of the rules
requiring traders to report their big
transactions, explaining he did SO 10
prove that Cutten knew the rules he
is charged with breaking.
Secretary Hyde's telegram to Cut
ten was sent on February 25, 1880,
when the wheat market was sagging
and the Farm Board was spending
millions in an attempt to bolster
prices.
Grain Reports Modest.
D. B. Bagnell. principal accountant
Of the Grain Futures Administration,
hauled out ledgers to show that Cut
teE's reports on grain transactions
we're modest On January 7. 1881.
when Cutten reported he was short
in July wheat to the amount of $780,
900 bushels, he had actually sold,
said Bagnen. 2.115,0O0 bushels. Cut
tens figures for January 20. 1881, were
COS 900 bushels. As the Government
added it, he should have reported
3,575,00 bushels.
They also differed over Cutten's
market position on January l8. Cut
ten reported that he had no wheat
futures.
Bagnell claimed this was an over
sight of 2305,000 bushels.
