NEW YORK, June 28. —Reports from business and industrial centers over the week-end were generally constructed, stressing the increasing demand for pig iron and the more favorable weather conditions in practically every section of the country. However, traders were awaiting the outcome of the Senate fight over the Fess bill and stocks continued to display a hesitant attlude in early dealings.

By United Press CHICAGO, June 28. —The increasing southwestern wheat receipts caused a sharp dip in the prices of that grain at the close on the Chicago Board of Trade today. Oats were lower in sympathy, but corn demonstrated surprising strength and gained fractionally over Saturday’s final figures. The magnitude of the new crop movement is indicated by the combined receipts of 2,225 cars of wheat at Kansas City, Wichita, Hutchinson and Enid. This together with lower cash prices and the favorable news caused the pressure in the wheat pit. All deliveries closed under Saturday’s figures, but July was hit hardest, losing over 2 cents and selling under September. Forei and selling under September. Foreign news was bullish, but was completely overawed by the bearish features of the market. The eastern and southwestern operators were particularly heavy sellers. It was believed that sales ;by the former were in the nature of liquidation, while those from the southwest undoubtedly represent hedges. The decrease of 1,750,000 bushels in the visible supply together with some support on short profittaking caused a slight rally before the close. Cash prices here were two cents lower, but at Kansas City, they dropped six cents, while Omaha showed a loss of ten cents. About 500,000 bushels of the grain was worked for export. Corn sagged early in the day with wheat but displayed real strength to rally good fractions over Saturday’s prices in all positions on the close. Receipts here were only moderate today, and cash prices were about a cent higher in view of a fairly brisk demand. Crop reports continue to be favorable. Oats closed a good fraction lower on all deliveries, after selling at a new Jowervfor the crop. Price rallied slightly with corn just before the close. Provisions closed lower on the slump in wheat.

An outbreak of what is believed to be the old-fashioned milk sickness, in southern Vigo County, has been reported to Dr. William F. King, secretary of the State board of health. Three cases, one of which resulted fatally, have broken out in one family.. Three-quarters of a centuvy ago one Indiana town, Hindostan Falls, was completely wiped out by the milk sicfltness. Medical science never has conquered the disease, according to Dr. King, although its source has been traced to cows that have eaten a certain variety of snake weed.

BOOTLEGGERS GOT W.C.T. U. MONEY (Continued From Page 1) with Brown Brothers and Company, Philadelphia bankers. Wright submitted a letter from Governor Pinchot to Rhodes telling him his (Rhodes) duties would be to pay requisitions and salaries "for special law enforcement work.” He said the fund must be kept confidential so that there would be no "premature knowledge of our plans." The fund was to be auditod every six months, Pinchot told Rhodes. Hus Salary Wright said his salary had been Increased last January to SB,OOO a year, with limited railroad and telephone expenses. Wright submitted an audit showing the exact expanses to date of $112,343.21. “You can’t tell by the requisitions you have submitted exactly what this money was spent fom" said Reed. Wright answered he had vouchers showing what every cent went ft)tv He submitted these vouchers to the committee. $5.20 for Drinks Reed found a voucher of $327.62 to Special Investigator Knox who spent around sls a day for expenses outside of $lO a day salary. One day showed $5.20 for “Drinks.” He also discovered a voucher to Gertrude R. Luce for $43.21 of which $lB went for a man named Johnson to buy drinks. “Could your agents keep sober drinking that much a day?" asked Senator Goff, Republican, W. Va." “Os yes. They never went in those places alone.” “What was the price of the drinks?” “Fifty ceqts a drinjt for whisky.” Went to Cabarets Reed also found where the agents had charged $6 for drinks and cover charges in the Paradise and Martinique Cabarets. Then he came to a day where there was no charge for drinks. “That must have been a dry day,” said Reed, clearing his throat. “It probably was Sunday,” said Wright. Reed pointed out that the investigators on many days spent more for drinks than they did for living expenses; one day. Sept. 28f drinks $7.75, and living expenses $6. "They probably had to treat some of the people of those places,” explained Wright. Good Fellow “Yes—good fellow,” said Reed, while the crowd laughed. Reed came to a day where living expenses were $5.85 and drinks only 65 cents. “That was an awful day,” said Reed. Wright smiled. Wright said about 270 Injunction suits had been brought under evidence thus obtained. Only one or possibly two temporary Injunctions were denied out of the 270 sought. Final Injunctions closing about 120 places were granted, he said. The state police obtained the evidence in most of the 270 cases. “The only way you got the evidence was by buying liquor?” Reed asked. , “Yes.” “So you violated the law In order to enforce the law?” “Well I think the law of Pennsylvania and the Siypreme Court have held that it is entirely legal to obtain evidence in that way.” “You and I would probably argue a week over what courts have held,” said Reed. “You wouldn’t send a man out to commit a murder to find evidence in a murtier case." ‘No,” said Wright, “but that la a different kind of crime.” t “Yes, there is some diffehene In crime,” Reed said.
