WHEAT PRICES

CHICAGO. March 25 GN.SD.
Wheat turned easy after a strong
opening today, dropping about a
cent under the previous closing,
following gains of a similar
amount at the start.
Strength at Liverpool, where
prices reached new tops for the
season, influenced the opening
bulge here. The setback was
prompted by easiness at Winnipeg.
Corn held firm, aided by a
pickup in shipping sales estimated
at more than 100000 bushels.

LIBEL SUIT
L0ST BY
CANNON
Rep. Tinkham Charges
True, Judge Says,
Directing Verdict

Bishop James Cannon, jr., lost
his $500,000 libel suit against Rep
resentative George Holden Tink-
ham (RO of Massachusetts,, in
United States District Court today
when Justice Jennings Bailey di.
rected a verdict in favor of Mr..
Tinkham, stating that the Tink-
ham charges on which Bishop
Cannon'S suit was based were true.
Justice Bailey had deliberated
over night on the motion for
directed verdict. AS the jury was
placed in its box, Justice Bailey
said:
Members of the jury: In this
case the defendant has pleaded
the truth of the charges made
in the publication, and / find
from the testimony of the plain
tiff and his own witnesses that
he was guilty of violating the
corrupt practices act, and that
the charges made against him
are substantially true.
81 therefore direct you to re-
turn a verdict for the defendant"
INDICTED FOR CONSPIRACY
The suit originated from Bishop
Cannon's activities as head of the
anti-Smith Democratic campaign
in 1928 when he was called before
a congressional committee to tes-
tify regarding contributions made
to his campaign fund for which
he had not accounted. He alleged
ly had received $63,500 from E. C.
Jameson, a New York capitalist,
but had failed to account for
$48,500 of the amount.
Upon his refusal to answer
questions 9ropounded by his Con-
gressiona1 inquisitors, the matter
was referred to the United States
District Attorney, and Bishop
Cannon and his executive Secre-
tary in the Anti-Smith campaign,
Miss Ada Burrougl;, were in
dicted for conspiracy to violate
the Federal Corrupt Practices
Act.

BERLIN, Feb. S Q.N.SD.-Re-
ports of an "open revolt" against
Dictator Josef Stain, in Moscow,
of famine spreading over wide
areas of Russia, and of personal
feuds threatening the entire Soviet
regime were featured in the Berlin
press today.
Some of the reports were carried
in dispatches direct from Moscow
Others reached Berlin by the IA
miliar anti-Soviet routes through
Warsaw and Riga. All were not
taken at their face value, but the
sudden flood of reports and rumors
of grave trouble in Moscow caused
observers here to ponder them
carefully.
The anti-Bolshevist Nazi press
made the most of the situation.
Following is a summary of the
various reports of the situation as
