GRAIN FUTURES CLOSE HIGHER Adverse Crop News Brings Spirited Buving. Bii United Pres* CHICAGO, Nov. 3.—Grain futures finished sharply higher as a result of spirited buying session on the Chicago Board of Trade today. Adverse crop news from Australia and Argentina brought spirited buying into the wheat pit. There was some late profit taking and fractional easing in prices from the top. Aside from pomplaints from the antipodes, news was of little interest. Unfavorable weather over the principal growing region advanced corn sharply. Oats continued to be neglected.

LAWS ADOPTED TO KILL LIQUOR IN JUGO SLAVIA ~ ■ ■ -\' m Prohibition Society to Get 10 Per Cent of All Profits. Bii United Press LONDON, Nov. 3.—Reports reach ing here from Belgrade indicate tnut Jugo slavia is taking steps toward the definite adoption of prohibition. The ministry of health recently completed the draft of a bill to restrict the manufacture and sale of alcoholic drinks. This represents .nothing short 4>f a revolution in a land of flowing wine and rakia —brandy distilled from plums and the Serbian national drink. Minors Not Employed One clause of the Hill provides that the unregulated production of alcoholic drinks shall cease, and that in future every producer must get permission from the competent authority. Also no worker under 18 years of age may be employed in the production of alcohol, while the produce must not be sold on the premises where it is produced. The bill in its present form insists that the producer of alcohol must publish a balance sheet showing the gross profit made, and that 10 per cent of this profit must be paid over to the Society for Fighting Against Alcohol. Further, if the concern produces liquors containing more than 30 per cent of alcohol it must hand over to this society an extra 10 per cent. A further clause considerably restricts the sale of alcoholic drinks. In Jugo slavia at present the sale of drink is virtually unrestricted except during three days at election time. No Drinks on Sunday. Also no alcoholic drinks are to be sold from 6 a. m. on Saturdays until 8 a. m. on Mondays. This is a particularly* drastic clause. Following the continental custom, the Serbs do most of their drinking during the week-end when frequenting the cases to hear music and sip wines. No drinks are to be sold on railway trains or passenger steamers, and station buffets are to be allowed to stock only drinks containing less than 4 per cent of alcohol. The bill in its present form Is so drastic that many in influential quarters are doubtful whether the necessary organization to secure its successful application could be attained.
BLACK MAGIC IS PRACTICED BY BARONESS Soviet Political Police Break Charm of Exotic Enchantress. Bu United Press MOSCOW, Nov. 3. —The recent arrest of Baroness Von Wichmann by the Soviet political police revealed the existence in Moscow of a veritable black magic laboratory, which attracted crowds of superstitious and curious visitors from all classes of society. The baroness had previously been behind prison bars. She was arrested in Tashkent in 1915, charged with burning the body of her stepdaughter, and sentenced to eight years In prison hard labor. Released After Revolt After the revolution she was released after she had professed a desire to fight in the Women's Battalion, which was being organized at that time. She never joined the battalion, but remained In Tashkent, where she started to practice what she had learned many years ago from Indian Yogis and fakirs, and began to tell fortunes with the aid of cards and beans. The baroness developed a habit of predicting the speedy downfall of the Soviet government, and this landed her in jail a second time. After being released from her place of confinement In Moscow she took a house In the suburbs of the city and began to practice magic In real earnest. First of all, she fitted up her house In exotic Oriental style with low sofas, eastern rugs and curtains curiously ornamented with dragon designs. To heighten the atmosphere of mystery the blinds were drawn and the lights were turned low. Devises Subtle Charms Then the Baroness devised a whole series of Ingenious charms, guaranteed to assure the users wealth, love, freedom from disease and many other benefits. The Baroness prescribed the following charm for people who came to her asking how to become rich: ‘‘Cut a Soviet paper ruble In half and bring It to me along with some dust from your shoes.” Then the enchantress would sew the dust inside the halves of the ruble, pronounce some Incantations over it and hand it back to her client with the injunction to wear the charm over his heart. The Baroness guaranteed to make a man think of you if she obtained a piece of his cap. to make him come to you if she obtained a piece of his underwear. If she wanted to create a quarrel she mixed hairs of dogs and cats. Prescribes Hot Bath Equally striking were her remedies for disease. For fever patients she prescribed little breadballs wrapped in cobwebs. Epileptics were told to drink a concoction of blackberries three times, take a hot bath and go to the theater. Her terms were three rubles for six weeks charms guaranteed to retain their potency for a whole year. The Baroness enjoyed a very extensive vogue. Wives of Communists and officers in the lied army could be found among the motley crowds which stood in line for hours in order to obtain an interview. People

Anno U. Stillman Janies Stillman **
Bu United Press .r-.tEW YORK, Nov. 3—A corre11*J I spondent of the New York 1A J WoHd has reached Camp Stillman at Grand Anse, Quebec, and secured from Anne U. (Fill) Stillman confirmation that her husband has agreed to give her a divorce. The interview, appearing copyrighted in today’s World, speaks of a ‘‘great change” which has come over James A. Stillman, the multimillionaire banker. With Mrs. Stillman, the dispatch says, was Fowler McCormick, the son of Harold McCormick of Chicago. Both are described as denying “singly and together any Intention of marrying.” They did not deny, however, “the great bond of sympathy between them." “I am too old and he is too young,” Mrs. Stillman Is quoted as replying to the direct question whether she and McCormick planned to marry. Mrs. Stillman is pictured as believing that several factors, principally the elimination of Florence Leeds from the marital disturbances, have conspired to make her husband change his mind and grant her a divorce. She is further quoted as saying that everything Is agreed upon but the financial settlement. — * — travelled long distances to ask her advice; and her fortune was accumulating at the rate of a hundred rubles a day when the political police stepped In and put an end to her activities.
DEAF AND DUMB DRIVERSBANNED Unfit Persons Can Not Drive in England. Bu United Press LONDON, Nov. 3.—Deaf and dumb automobile drovers have risen in protest here against the possible withdrawal of their franchises and a warm controversy is in progress on the matter. People have been writing letters to the newspapers recently complaining bitterly against allowing allegedly unfit persons to drive cars on the public highways. One-armed, or * one-eyed men shouldn't be allowed to add to the dangers of roadways, already risky enough, from the pedestrians' viewpoint, they say. The British Deaf and Dumb Association, in conference at Southampton, has made a strong protest against the suggestion that legislation should be framed prohibiting deaf persons from holding motordriving licenses.
McGraw Rebuilding His Outfield
Manager McGraw of the New Tork Giants Is one manager who doesn’t believe in letting his team go back very far before he starts to rebuild. When McGraw failed to win the 1924 pennant it was apparent to him that there were certain weaknesses on his club that must be strengthened. His first decision was the need of bolstering his outfield forces. He immediately set about to land the cream of the minor league talent. He centered his attention on Outfielder Tyson of Louisville, of the American Association. Despite spirited bidding, McGraw got him. Tyson has had* a peculiar career. He started in the minors as a pitcher and met with fair success. Then an injury to his arm caused him to retire. After four or five years of idleness he came back as an outfielder with Louisville, in 1924, bad a good season and repeated in 1926. Pew minor league stars have broken into the big show so late in their career as Tyson, who is 31. It is his first chance in the majors.

STATE PLANS TO SHOW INFECTION FATAL TO GIRL Dr. Moon Testifies Poison Other Than Mercury Caused Death. LIVED TOO LONG, CLAIM Neighbor Testifies Screams Came From Garage. Time* Staff Correspondent* CIRCUIT COURTROOM, Noblesville, Ind., Nov. 3. —Asa result of the testimony Monday afternoon of Dr. Virgil H. Moon, professor of pathology nt the Indiana University School of Medicine, the State's actual theory as to cause of the death no longer is in doubt. Death took place after the deleterious effects of mercuric poisoning had been counteracted and resulted from blood poisoning which had been spread through the body from the numerous bruises and lacerations, alleged to have been inflicted by human teeth, according to Dr. Moon, j Record Set In all the available history of mercuric poisoning. Dr. Moon said, there is not a single case recorded where the patient lived more than twenty-five days after taking the poison arid then died. Miss Oberholtzer lived thirty days. “Was death caused from the poison or from some other factor??” Dr. Moon was asked by Charles E. Cox. the Oberholtzer family attorney. "I would say that some factor, other that mercuric poisoning, entered Into the case.” was the physician’s answer. Defense Plan Seizing on the State's theory. Stephenson’s attorneys molded from the facts obtained what was regarded as the best defense that has been constructed thus far. The defense’s theory, as disclosed by the brief cross-examination Monday afternoon, is that Miss Oberholtzer died from an overdose of mercuric chloride administered In the form of a prophylactic. The numerous bruises and lacerations, the defense will try to convince the Jury, were inflicted by the girl's own hands when the poison burned her. Former Irvington neighbors of Stephenson testified against him late Monday. Mrs. Josephine Lowes, 5452 University Ave., said she heard frantic screams of a woman in distress come from the Stephenson garage around midnight, March 16. Mrs. Leila Hadley, 5406 University Ave., living next door to the former Stephenson home, testified she saw a large closed automobile being washed early on the morning of March 17. She said that a fellew she heard called “Shorty” washed the car and she said that the cushions were removed and washed, too. Miss Oberholter charged in her dying statement she was driven home from Hammond In an auto, and kept a prisoner in the Stephenson garage until the morning df March 17. Mrs. Lowes, who lives In the rear of the Stephenson residence, said-she was awakened shortly after midnight, by the screaming and by the barking of Stephenson's police dogs at the garage. Eph Inman, chief counsel for the defense, asked her if it could not have been some Butler students yelling and screaming on a parly or having a good time,’ but the witness was positive such was not the case. “Are you acquainted with the location of the residence of D. C. Stephenson?” Prosecutor William H. Remy asked. “Yes.” “Where was his garage?” ‘‘His garage is right near the railroad, and about 300 feet from my house.” “Were you home the night of March 16, and do you recall that night?” asked Remy. “Yes.” • “State what time at night you retired.” “Well, It was after 11.” “After you went to sleep that night did you awaken?” "Yes.” “About what time was that?” After Midnight
"After midnight, I judge,” replied Mrs. Lowes, a small, elderly woman, who was somewhat awed by the large crowd. "What awakened you?” “A terrible screaming.” "From what direction did the screaming come?” The defense objected, saying it would be the opinion of the witness. "If you have an opinion as to the direction the screams caine from just tell the jury.” directed Judge Will M. Sparks in a kindly tone of voice. “From a southwest direction,” said the witness. “What direction from your house is Mr. Stephenson's garage?” asked Remy. “In that direction.” “Was it a man or a woman?” "It was a woman.” “Was it loud or weak?” "Loud,” said the witness. “Describe it,” urged the prosecutor. “Oh, it would be impossible It was so terrible.” “Now, Your Honor, we move to strike that from the record,” cried the defense attorneys. The remark was cut from the record. “At that time did Mr. Stephr son own any dogs?” "He did, some large police gs.” “After this screaming wh occurred if anything, in con Jtion with the dogs?” Dogs Bark “The dogs barked furious! ’ “We move to strike out f 1 usly," said defense attorney Ira hij . olmes, but Judge Sparks left in the record. “How long did the bar 5 continue?” asked Remy. “Well, I never closed my f es, I don’t think, hardly, all nig!, after that.” The defense attorneys obit ed. “Well, aboit all night,” r said.
‘Shooting Sheik’ Escapes Again
Martin J. Durkin
Bu United Press TZjTri HITING, Ind., Nov. 3.—A squad cf Chicago police, J equipped with rifles, revolvers and steel shields, made an early morning visit to a house near here on a tip that Martin J. Durkin, notorious slayer was in hiding here. They found this tip, like the scores of others received since Durkin fatally wounded a policeman last Wednesday, was false. The police, in automobiles, drove to Whiting Monday and their way to within a short distance of the house, where they made a huge circle and waited for dawn to make their rush. Just at daylight one of the policemen who had crept close to the house, looked in and found It was vacant. Durkin, who Is called the “shooting sheik” first killed a Federal agent, who attempted to arrest him for the alleged transportation of a stolen automobile. Durkin was also hunted at Wheatfield, Ind., Monday.
which was proved to be more satisfactory. “You may cross examine,” said the Prosecutor. “What is your husband's name. Mrs. Lowes? asked Inman. “Jesse E. Lowes. He's an assessor,” she said. “Oh, he's an assessor, is he?” asked Inman. “Is he a politician?” , Remy objected. "Is he a party precinct committeeman, out there?” Remy objected again. Inman said he “wanted to know the connections,” and Judge Sparks told the witness' to answer. “I can’t tell vou,” said Mrs. Lowes. “Part ot the time he is and part of the time he ain’t. Whether he is this year or not I don’t know.” “What direction does University Ave run?” Inman asked. Stephenson’s former home was located at 5432 University Ave. It Winds “Well, It winds around so. I could hardly tell you.” Inman then asked Mrs. Lowes If she didn’t know that Stephenson had sold his police dogs about a month before March the 16th. She said she didn’t know it, as she hadn’t missed them at any time. “What day of the week was it?” “Why it was Monday, the 15th—no, the 16th.” "How do you know it was the 16?” “It was the 16th, because the next day was the 17th?” "How do you know the next day was the 17th?” “Well, it was the 17th because—because site day before was the 16th, that’s why.” “Is Butler College close around there?” he asked. “Yes. the closest Is the College of Missions.” "Are ✓ there students around there?" “Yes.” “And Mrs. Ixiwes, it is a very common thing to hear young people, boys and girls, students, yelling and screaming round, having a good time or on parties?” asked Inman. ‘‘Well, I very seldom hear a woman screaming In distress. I used t.o hear the boys, but not so much any more.” “Was your husband awakened?” He Was Provoked
“Yes,” said the witness energetically,” and he was so provoked—” The defense attorneys objected to anything the husband might have thought or felt concerning the dogs or anything else. Mrs. Lowes was excused and was followed by Frank McDonald, an Indianapolis detective, who assisted In the arrest at the Hotel Washington. Remy, late Monday, introduced the telegram which Miss Madge Oberholtzer alleged she was forced to send to her mother while in the custody of Stephenson at Hammond. It read: The telegram read: “Hammond, Ind., March 16, 1935, 8:51 a. m. “To Mrs. G. E. Oberholtzer, 5802 University Ave., Phone No. Irv. 1077: “We are driving through to Chicago. Will take train back tonight. MADGE.” It was Introduced while Andrew A. Brown, superintendent of the Western Union Company at Indianapolis, was on the stand. Remy also introduced the original wire, written in the hand of Miss Oberholtzer, and the Hammond telegraph office’s impression of the message. Each of the three papers was identified by Brown.
