By United Press CHICAGO. Sept. 2.—Grain futures closed sharply lower on the Board of Trade Tuesday. In a final slump, opening gains were entirely obliterated and values went under Saturday's close. Selling in wheat was induced by heavy primary movement and increase in the visible supply. Better weather prospects brought heavy realizing and a severe setback In corn. Easier feeling in oats was due to & heavier movement and weakness In other grains. Provisions fell off with grains and slackened demand. Chicago Grain Table —Sept. 2 WHEAT— Erev. Open. High.

Market Briefs Lo'a! wheat he’d steady over the holiday while receipts of wheat in the Southwest were expected to show considerable decrease during the week, according to Thomson i McKinnon of Indianapolis. Movement is about to get under way in the Northwest, but the demand is such that the grain is expected to be well taken. The advance of Liverpool wheat should strengthen -the local markets. The majority of buyers expect further developments eventually. while others think the market has reached its peek. The ertton market is unsteady for the time being. Most opinions are the market will rally. There are a few busing nowon thy breaks. According to Thomson & McKinnon the trend of cotton prices will lower as the movement in'-mases and favor the sales on rallies of the Depletion of the refined sugar stocks have resulted from the unexpected heat wave. Coming during the height of the canning season the advance in price in anticipation of an unusually heavy demand is forecasted within the week. Unfavorable prospects for the western beet crop have developed and four-cent sugar will probablv be realized before the end of the we*.

THE HSTDIANAPOLIS TIMES

SERVICES FOR DRIVER Tullie Handlon to Be Buried in Milton, Ky. f Wednesday. Tullie Handlon, 37, of 123 S. Arlington Ave., who died Sunday night, will be buried in Milton, Ky., on Wednesday afternoon. Funeral services will be held tonight at the home. An artery in Mr. Handlon’s neck was severed when the windshield of his automobile was broken by a missile, believed to be a tomato, thrown from another car.. i/MEN ON DUTY AT SCENE OF RIOT (Continued From Page 1) crowd is expected at the funerals of these men also. Sunday Otto Roland and Chester Reid, anti-Klansmen, were laid away in the city cemetery here, while the funeral of Dewey Newbolt, reputed Klansman, was held a few hours later at the same grounds. The nine Herrin Klansmen who were arrested Sunday afternoon on murder warranty isued at the In-* stance of a deputy, received a rousing reception and treated aa heroes when they were returned to their home town yesterday and released on bond of SIO,OOO each. States Attorney Delos Duty however, Is convinced the troops are needed and attempted to persuade General Black to delay withdrawal until conditions are more Improved, but without avail. Duty Angry “Talk aa I might. General Black insisted to the last that he sees no necessity cf a single soldier remaining longer In this community,” said Duty, his face flushed with anger. Duty said he was convinced that no sooner are the troops well away than further trouble will occur. "It has been that way in the past and will be the same again.” he said, “and General Black's argument for removal of the soldiers was a purile one. He said that the State biennial contingent fund for such emergencies as this Is practically exhausted. and that Williamson County alone has exhausted it, with its frequent calls upon the militia. But what kind of an argument is that in the face of men being shot to death In our streets?” Duty also issued an open denunciation of the Protestant ministers of Williamson County for their alleged friendliness toward the Ku-Klux Klan. Duty Is convinced that the ministers In their alleged support of “Jaw enforcement” on the pa'rt of the Klansmen Is the factor largely responsible for the persistent civil strife resulting In successive bloody clashes between the warring factions. They Belong? “Every preacher In this county with the exception of two.” declared the State's attorney, “neglects no opportunity to extoll the Klan from their pulpits. They belong to the Klan themselves and assist it la every way. even to permitting the use of church buildings as arsenals for the Klansmen.” In support of the latter assertion, Duty revealed today that he requested Maj. Robert W. Davis, commanding the militia, to search the basements of the Baptist and the Methodist Churches for arms last Saturday. “I also fold Major Davis arms were undoubtedly concealed In the Herrin Masonic Temple and the 11. O. Fowler store, and requested him to search those places.” said Duty. “The major later admitted he did not search any of these place until Sunday afternoon. twenty-four hours later. Os course, he found nothing." Ministers Reply The ministers, presided over by the Rev. D. Stickney, pastor of the Herrin Christian Church, who Is president of the Ministers' Association of Williamson County, scoffed at the sheriff's accusation. “Let Duty talk all he wants to,” they shot back. “What we really need Is a State's attorney who will enforce the law and a sheriff who will catch criminals—at present v e have none. “Imprisonment of Innocent men upon unfounded charges must cease,” runs the preacher's statement. “Persons guilty of these outrages must be brought to justice without failure. Honest witnesses must not be cowed, and our courts must dispense justice.” A dead calm prevailed at Herrin on Labor day.
