couseofFire Officially Determined
 SpoNtaRoous
 Combustion
 Responsible

Spontaneous combustion was given as the cause of a fire yesterday af- ternoon at the Checkerboard Feed Company Warehouse and office at t07 Hamilton Avenue in which more than 200 bales of hay and several bags of feed and grain were destroyed in damages estimated at close to 5000.
 Although the one-story wooden structure which spreads 90 feet on what was once the site of the Duh- lin Street Station of the New Ha. ven Railroad was severely damag- ed in the southeast end, the con- pany's records and books were sal- vaged. Miss Dorothy Koch, seere- tary-bookeeper of the firm, said that with the aid of flremen she was able to remove the records be- fore flames which quickly consumed the roof could destroy them,
 Fire Marshal Eugene LeggC said the blaze was discovered by an employe of the company, Joseph Racket, The man dashed for a phone after opening a door to see the valuable stock in flames, but even as he tried to reach Q phone, Headquarters received an alarm placed by Deputy Chief Richard c. Sheehan who saw the flames as he sat in his East Main Street home.
 Two Companies responded on the first alarm at 3:5l p. m., and 8 radio call at S;57 brought two more companies. Bremen fought the stubbornly spectacularly blaze for hours before bringing 1t under con- trol, Marshal Legge said. One com pany, he said, remained at the scene until after 8 p. rn.
 The Checkerboard Feed Company Is an affiliate of the Ralston- -Pur- ina Grain Company of St, Louns, Mo,

ton prices continued their upward
trend during the past week with a
smaller than anticipated crop fore
cast by the Department of Agri-
culture the principal Strengthening
factor.
Active futures contracts in all
deliveries on the New York cotton
exchange showed a net advance
from the previous week of $8.25 to
$11.30 a bale at the close of trading
Friday. Best gains were in the
nearer position whereas in the pre-
ceding week when the market
registered advances of from $3.50
to $11.30 { bale the most pronounc-
ed improvement was in the more
distant deliveries.
The trade had expected a crop

.lowable under the trading rules.
On the basis of the forecast it is
expected that the total domestic
supply of all cottons for the cur
rent season may not be much in
excess of II, 900, 900 bales.
Domestic distribution for the
coming IL months is estimated
at around 10, SOC, 900 bales, which
would leave a carryover at the
end of the season of only about
$4,000 900 to 1900, 900 bales COM
pared with a carryover at the end
of the season just finished of about
1900, 900 bales.
Trade sources said a 1000, 000-
bale carryover next July 81 would
be just about sufficient quantity to
cover requirements until move
ment of the new crop, but there is
considerable uncertainty as to
whether qualities of cotton in such
a carryover could be adequate.

Water Taxi Suspension
Prevents Return OF
Patrons To Vessel

LONG BEACH, Cal, Aug 10
O'D Admiral" Tony Cornero
Stralla today lost a legal bout to
reopen his million-dollar floating
casino, The Lux, when superior
Judge Leslie E. Still refused to
issue a temporary injunction
which would have restored the
vessels water taxi service.
Without the ship-shore lifeline
of boats, operated by George Gar
win, patrons could not reach the
converted navy minelayer anchor
ed five miles off shore.
1T is common knowledge,"
said Judge Still that the boats
are being used to transport people
to the gambling ship.
"You want me to restrain the
officers so you can carry on ac-
tivities repunant to the laws of the
state and city. I don't feel that as
a representative of the people 1
can issue this restraining order"
Garvin asked that Los Angeles
county and Long Beach officials
be restrained from interfering
with his operations. His boats were
impounded and crews arrested
Thursday on charges of violating
a local ordinance by "soliciting."
More than 1000 patrons were
stranded aboard The Lux -
opened last Tuesday night I'M
til authorities permitted boats to
ferry them ashore, tired, hungry
and in some cases broke" after
hours of gambling during their
enforced stay aboard.
Samuel Rummel, attorney for
Stralla, in arguing on behalf of
Garvln's petition, told Judge Still
that operation of the water taxis
to the Lux was mo more illegal
than our trains carrying people
to Nevada gambling centers."
If all patrons of a special train
were going to gambling places in
Nevada, his conclusion would be
the same as in the water taxi case,
Still said.
Commence Obstacle
Garvin's petition charged offici-
ais with interfering with foreign
commerce" and depriving him OF
This civil rights without due pro-
cess of law
Earlier, Rummel and V. L. Fer
guson, Garvin's attorney, postpon-
ed argument on a similar peti-
ton before Federal Judge William
c. Mathes in Los Angeles. They
pleaded pressure of business in de-
laying proceedings until Monday.
Shortly afterward. Judge Still was
asked to grant the restraining
order.
Stralla, resting at his Beverly
Hills home after a hectic 48 hours
following the laws breakdown or
his vessel, said he was unaware
of Garvin's suit.
I'm dead tired" said Stra1la
who with seven lieutenants sur
rendered on gambling conspiracy
charges Thursday. They were
freed on $4,000 bail each.

Freedom At Meetings

BERLIN, Aug. 10 P Gen.
Joseph T. McNarney, American
military governor for Germany,
proposed to the other occupation
powers today that allied control
council meetings be thrown open
to the woc4d press.
Pointing out that newsmen were
being admitted to the Paris Peace
Conference sessions, McNarney
told his colleagues on the control
council the American suggestion
was intended to help dispel the
present atmosphere of distorted
reports and baseless rumors "cir-
culating around actions and dis
agreements among the four pow
r governing Germany because
of the secrecy of their sessions"

CHICAGO, Aug. 10 -(P)- Grains

ngs resulting from the agriculture
Department. forecast of bumper
crops this year.
Prices at the start, rejecting
the crop forecast, were down as
much as a cent in corn. But the
selling was not aggressive and
soon dried up. From that point on
the. trend generally was upward,
although best prices were not
maintained through to the close.
Corn finished M-% higher, Janu-
airy $1.36B-k, and oats were !s-
IS higher, August 74B. Activity
was on a reduced scale, as is
usual n the abbreviated Saturday,
session. There was no trading in
barley.
Effect of the crop report was
minor because bumper crops have
been discounted by recent declin-
ing markets. Traders pointed out
that corn futures r down around
IS cents from their seasonal high
while oats contracts are off
around II to 10 cents. Highs were
established shortly after price
controls were removed.
In only two points were their
surprises in the departments crop
reports, and these We're minor.
Traders had thought the Aug. /
forecast on corn might be below
July Is, which it was not, and
some felt the oats. forecast might
predict a record-breaking crop,
which it did not.
Cash corn was steady. In 500,
trading No. 2 yellow sold at $1.84
against $1.03 yesterday. Bids for
to-arrive grain were somewhat
easier with some buyers offer
ings $1.80 for S day shipment and

chases on a to-arrive basis were
