CHARLOTTE. N. c.. Nov. 22-
Detective Chief Frank Littlejohn
said today that unless more sub
stantial proof was soon unearthed,
Elwin Michael, 32-year-old Iowan.
would be freed of charges brought
in connection with the poisoning of
IL elephants of Ringing Bros. and
Barnum and Bailey Circus.
The police officer made the an
nouncement after the checkup Of
events during the last four weeks of
the circus tour. During that time,
in addition to the deaths of the
elephants, four circus employees died,
two violently; four others were in
jured and the cage of the gorilla
Toto was damaged.
Michael, arrested in Florida and
brought here after questioning in
Atlanta, Ga, continued to maintain
his innocence.
Chief Littlejohn said that Mr. and
Mrs. T. P. Hargett of Charlotte,
who previously told police they wit
messed the feeding of capsule to
an elephant when the show played
here early this month, failed to
positively identify Michael as the
man they saw.

many years.
Some otner statements in the re-
ports:
Favorable prices for wool may
curtail marketing of sheep and
lambs in the next few months, with
a resulting upturn in these prices.
Prices for eggs, up in recent weeks
despite huge market supplies, are
expected to stay high because of
large purchases for England.
Prices of chicken and turkey also
have advanced but not as much as
other meats. Higher costs of feeds
for poultry focks may tend to off,
set price gains, the Department COM
mented.
Loans Keep Wheat Price Up,
Price-supporting loans ordered by
Congress were credited with main
tanning domestic wheat prices at
relatively high levels despite near
record world supply and domestic
surplus of this chief bread-grain.
officials said some 10000 900
bushels of this years crop already
had been placed under the Gov
eminent loan and this probably
would increase to 400,0 00000.

not have much better than a sew
enth-row balcony seat for the tre-
mendous spectacle nearing its cn-
max along the RusSO-German front,
500 miles away. But we at least
have an opportunity to observe close

is causing here in the Volga Basin.
All about us we see signs OF the
wars effects-maSs migration OF
peoples, transportation OF indus
tries, training of new armies and
harnessing of industrial and agrl-
cultural resources to the wars needs.
We Americans are ourselves refu-

arrival here from Moscow we have
gone far toward readjusting our
selves to life in this provincial CEN
ter. 1t is cold here in the snowy
lap of Mother Volga." You cannot
look out on the floating islands Of
ice grinding their way down the

about poor Eliza. We could do with

Thursday nights raids on Ger
man cities by record number OF
BNtish bomberS may be accepted
as the first practical demonstra-
ton that eventual British air su-
periority over Germany is on Its
way toward realization Next year
has been the time usually estimated
wherf British plane production plus
American contributions will place
Germany in an inferior position in
the air, but it seems now possible
that parity may be passed by Brit
ain before then, more especially
for night raiding.
British reports that between 800
ana 400 planes participated in last
nights attack on Germany indi-
cate the Royal air force has reach
ed equality with the Germans in
night operations. 1t io fairly safe
estimate the Germans have not
used more than tnat number of
bom1ers in their recently intensi-
fled night onslaughts against Brit
ish ports.
GO GREATER DISTANCE
The British at least have some
what more than equality with the
Germans in the air distances now
being travelled. By concentrating
their attacks on British western
and northwestern ports, the Ger
mans have lost the advantage of
short flying time which they pos
sessed during their raids on Lon
dorA cast coast towns and South
ampton.
There is no present means OF
knowing how many bombers the
Germans may have in reserve for
night attacks on British ports. 1t
is reasonable to assume however,
that the Germans may have a
smaller number of skilled night fly
