DECATUR DAILY DEMOCRAT, THURSDAY, JUNE 29. U)22

Defeat for Mine Owners Looms in Federal Court (Continued from page one) Harding will make an address at the conference which may be the opening gun in an administration campaign to bring the pressure of public opinion against the warring factions so they will feel compelled to settle. The administration is ready to ansure the operators that there will be no prosecutions under the Anderson injunction If they will get with the miners to frame a new national wage scale. The operators have contended that a national conference could not be held because of the injunction. The conference is a supreme test for the president's idea that big international and domestic disputes can be amicably settled, if the opposing factions are brought face to face around a conference table. Following Harding's address the conference probably will be turned over to Hoover and Davis. o — s—s—s— WANT ADS EARN—s—s—s MARKETS-STOCKS . Daily Report of Local and Foreign Markets ________ * New York Stock Exchange New York, Jrne 29 —Substantial foundation for the advance in Mexican Pete was found in the statement for five months ended May 31 which showed profits of $27.28 a share. Mexican Pete advanced three points to 185 in the early trading and Pan American gained % to 80%. Rails were fractionally stronger, reflecting an 23,585 decrease in idle cars on June 15. compared with the previous week. Loadings of revenue freight during the week ended June 17 also showed an important increase 11:30—■ Professional pressure was directed against oils in the first hour on the New York stock exchange today, not on account of any unfavorable developments in the trade situation, but because this class of stock appeared to be in a good technical position. Shorts in the whole oil group had taken flight in the wake of Mexican Pete's rise. With the cessation of that mon* ment. the general oil list invited bearish attack. Standard Oi of California dropped to 100% off 3%; Asphalt to 65%. off %; Pacific Oil to 54%, off 2; Producers and refiners to 47%, oft %; California Pete to 60%, off 1%. Rails appeared to be marking time pending the outcome of steps looking toward the solution of current labor problems. * Foreign Exchange New York, June exchange opened lower.

MORE EVIDENCE IN MYSTERIOUS AUBURN MURDER (Continued from page one) was from this gun that the shots were fired according to the officers, as the gun holds Just nine charges. The added fact that the other gun found with the automatic was positively Identified by Sheriff Hoodelmier, of Auburn, as that in the possession of the suspect when arrested in connection with the death of James Sheffer's two children, who were killed in a gas explosion on the night of Jan. 6. 1921, further tightens the net, officers claim. Nie Sheffer, following the an nouncement of the final and seem ingly conclusive evidence of his con nectlon with the crime, will be charged formally with the murder within the next two days, according to information received here from Auburn last night. It is likely that the charge will be brought by Sher iff Hoodelmier and that Sheffer will be returned to Auburn immediately to face the preliminary charge. The transfer of the prisoner from tin local jail to he Auburn courtroom will probably be effected with all possible secrecy. Fear that violence would result upon the return of the suspect to Auburn was overcome following the funeral of the victims of the latest tragedy when the feeling against NR Sheffer seemed to die down to a great degree, according to Auburn officials. Auburn. June 28 —Indications that Nie Sheffer held in the jail at Fort Wayne as a suspect in the recent ghastly murder which has arouse® this entire community, will be re turned here for a preliminary trial was seen tonight when officials start ed preparations for court action ir the case.

Possibilities of calling a specia! session of the grand jury seemed likely tonight, although no definite action has been taken in this direc tion. The present term of court wll' continue until early in September and an effort will probably be made to have the suspect indicted before the end of the present term. A photographic account of the crime, as explained by circumstances involved to this time, will be made by Auburn officials for the purpose of using them as exhibits in the com ing trial, Sheriff Hoodelmier stated tonight. These will consist of pic tures of the tent in which the suspec made his home, diagrams of the terri tory which must have been covered by the alleged murderer, pictures an. diagrams of the paths and probablt movements of Nie Sheffer following the murder, and other details whicl will be brought out in the evidence The greater part of the $60,00( estate left by James W. and Core Sheffer will be divided among Meth odist churches and organization' as permanent endowments in the form of a memorial to their childre: who were killed in the gas explosion which wrecked the Sheffer home ir January, 1921, it was learneil yesterday when the will Was admitted to probate in the courts here. Nie Sheffer, as well as many other relatives, are given an equal share of SI,OOO each in the estate, it was shown in the opening clauses. The Methodist hospital, of Fort Wayne, was mentioned as a bene ficiary in the estate, along with De Pauw University; M. E.

MONTHS OF SUFFERING How a Baltimore Girl Recovered Her Health Baltimore, Maryland. —“For several months I suffered with severe backache llllllliniilllllllll an d l? encra l wea kii! i! I 111 ness.

Pinkham’s ®l|| Vegetable Comz '( pound. I have had 1 very good results and * some of my girl W w - arc taking it now. You may use this letter to help other girls, as the letters in your book helped me.” —Rose Waidner, 3018 Roseland Place, Baltimore, Md. That is the thought so often expressed in letters recommending Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. These women know what they have suffered, they describe their symptoms and state how they were finally made well. Just plain statements, but they want other women to be helped, Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound is a medicine made from medicinal roots and herbs, and without drugs, to relieve the sickness women so often have, which is indicated by backache, weak feelings, nervousness, and no ambition to get anything done or to go anywhere. It has helped many women. Why not try it?

toes are also given SI,OOO to be Invested and held in trust, as meinotiala to Heber and Martha Sheffer, the proceeds only to be devoted to the maintenance of the several institutions.
