In the Sugar Market

(By Thomoon & McKinnon) NEW YORK, Sept. 16.—Although (Retribution of refined eugar continues at a heavy rate, there is no indication of any change in the character of raw sugar demand. At present buying interest is on a reduced scale. Such a condition naturally makes itself felt in futures. I would suggest the purchase of the far months during this period of reactionary price movement*. "N.

In the Cotton Market

(By Thomson ti McKinnon) NEW YORK. Sept. 10.—The period to be covered by the next government report ends today On the whole the weather has been good and the public natura'lv expects a bearish document. The South is selling its crop at a price generally believed to be low production cost. Mills expect lower prices. On any further decline I favor purchases. There should be a good reaction.

Bu United Preaa CHICAGO, Stfpt. 16.—Grain prices closed iiharply higher on the Chicago Board of Trade today. It was the most active session held in weeks. Wheat closed 1% to 1% cents higher. It was anactive, nervous market. The extreme top of the session. 2% cents up—came shortly after the opening in a wild buying scramble. News of a 3 cent bulge at Winnipeg and continued unfavorable weather in the Canadian spring wheat country caused the East to become a good buyer, although Northwestern houses sold freely. When the advance became pronounced, shorts were forced to cover. After that all bulges meant realizing sales. The cash prices were 1 to 1% cents higher. " Corn advanced early on unfavorable weather news and short covering. The bearish factor, that farmers were selling old grain freely, was ignored. Futures closed 1 to 1% cents higher, while cash values were Mi to 1 cent up. Oats came to life, staging a 2%c rally in September. Some of this was lost later. The close was % to % cents higher than yesterday’s in all positions. Primary receipts are falling off sharply, and w-hen a prominent professional turned to the buying side, shorts were forced to cover. Traders from the other pits rushed over to partake in the activities of this pit for the first time in month;'. Provisions were unchanged.

Bu Times Special CHICAGO, Sept. 16.—More than 27,000 Chicago school children are starving, according to Dr. Herman Bundesen, health commissioner. “The greater number of the children," he said, “are starving in the midst of plenty because of Improper diets or because of poisons in their systems from diseased tonsils. Defective teeth or other organs—Toxins ■which destroy appetities and interfere with proper untrltion. “There are a number of pitiful cases caused by poverty," with childdren coming to school after breakfast consisting of only stale bread and coffee or home made wine. Bui a well balanced diet is not so much a question of money as of intelligent selection and there is actually mare suffering from various forms of starvation among rich children than among the poor.”

FOOTBALL REVIEWS (Continued From Page 13)

plays just shown, followed by scrimmage. • • • The chief topic among the Tech rail birds and early season bleacherites is, “How does our team stack up with the last year machine?” Such a question is a hard one to answer from one observation. It would seem that the 1926 team will be a lighter, but taller, team than the one of 1926, and probably will possess more speed. Such players as Babcock, Bauermeister, Hickman, Ringwalt and Worth are not seen on the field this year, that is as far as size is concerned. The second string teams did not experience much difficulty at times in ripping through the first team forward wall. Mueller has some good line material, however, and that condition may be remedied Forty-eight players comprise the first squad and more than fifty are working under Coach Cleveland as second stringers. * Outside the field more than one hundred are working out under Coach Houston Meyers, anew staff man this year. The enthusiasm and pep at the school is remarkable, but the most outstanding bit of spirit was noted in the fact that some twenty boys, wearing civilian clothes, were working out with Meyers endeavoring to prove they had a right to be one of the 100 in uniforms. Meyers dropped nine from the squad Tuesday and Athletic Director Fred Gorman was busy re assigning the suits to the better of the boys who were willing to prove in their own clothing that they were to be reckoned with as future Tech stars. * • * 9 Getting back to the regular Tech squad, one is convinced after cony paring the team with that of last year, that the hack field will come near matching up By this we say that the shift work at this time is as good as it was at any time last season. The two veteran ends, Thompson and Demary, arje going to be thorns in the sides of many of the opposition half backs. The center wall is weak, woefully weak, and this will be Tech’s chief working spot. Green, Ray Miller, Schmitz, Kemper are all promising reserve ends. Billy Reed and Trimble were used at tagkles on one team in scrimmage and Halden and Sargent on the other. Another pair are Grimsley and Clidquist. Fesler is another man to be reckoned with. Cravens can play either tackle or end. Sargent is a looming prospect. Os the lot any two may get the call in the opening Tame and probably most of them will be sent Into the fray. Slagle, Boles. Hawthorne, Tomlinson, Fisher, Frye and Mueller are alike as guards. Put them in a hat and shake them. First out is first choice. All have lots to learn about football. Mueller said they are exceptionally green and will form his chief worry. Fesler also is a candidate for guard. The center position is unfilled. Hessman is a likely prospect, as is Don Rauermeister, brother of the regular center last year. Saler is promising as is a lad named Davis. Saler is the best bet for the first game. What one lacks the other has. making the center position even more complex to fill. • • * Krueger, a veteran, is calling signals on one eleven, and Connor on another. Maxwell is barker for another. Tech no doubt will be a stronger offensive team than defensive. Mueller has a clever set of halfbacks. in Adams. Cain. Massey, Pitts, Saleha. Griffith, Dougherty and Fouch. Virt. Herner and Blake, are new nrospects for the fullback place. Fouch could be shifted. Among that set one finds about everything. Some are clever open field runners. Others can smash the line. Some are passers and. Fouch is a great punter. He has a fault, however, that of hurrying himself. He Is capable of getting away spirals fifty and sixty yards and more. When experience develops him his toe will he feared. * * • Just a bit of doubt •efgns in the mind of the writer as to whether the east side squad is a3 strong as it was last year. It probably is in places, but not in others. A good defense is a good offense in the minds of many. The main thing Tech must 'develop at this time to get through the 1926 season with any sort of a record, is a strong forward wall. A winning team must hold down the opposition scoring and no good offense can function without protection until It gets under way. Just how good Tech is this year depends largely in the play of the five inner linemen.

Ring Sport Shakey in Illinois

Bt, United Press CHICAGO, Sept. 16.—The future of legalized boxing in Illinois was made uncertain today by the reported resignation of O. W. Huncke, chairman of the recently formed State boxing commission, on grounds which are undfestood to include evidence of crooked gambling. Huncke refused to confirm or deny reports of his resignation, and the office of Governor Len Small at Springfield likewise was silent. From sources close to the State administration, however, the report was given weight. Proponents of legalized boxing in Illinois fear the game will be thrown into confusion and turmoil, which may result in its complete collapse if Huncke is relieved of his post.

CHAMPION IS READY Dempsey Said to Have Reached Peak of Fighting Form. Bu United Press ATLANTIC CITY, N. J., Sept. 16. No veil of seclusion will be hung over Jack Dempsey’s training camp here to keep out the prying eyes of the public, for the champion and his manager have decided the press may enjoy the freedom of the camp up to the last minute. Today Dempsey planned to work out, but not too strenuously. His fighting tactics in the eight rounds he boxed Wednesday indicated Demp. sey was ready to fight Tunney any night now, and he is well content to take things easy. Tommy Loughran had a shade over the champion in his two rounds and both he and Marty Burke succeeded in sending home a few blows, especially some right-handers of the Tunney style. GENE’S WEIGHT DROPS Wednesday Boxing Cut Out on Account of Over-raining Bogy. Bu United Press STROUDSBURG. Pa., Sept. 16. There was an air of apprehension in Stroudsburg today and those citizens who were planning a trip out to challenger Gene Tunney’s headquarters to view his ring actions, were not quite sure they would see him. Tunney Wednesday disappointed a big crowd when he failed to appear for his expected workout. Billy Gibson, the heavyweight’s manager, explained that Tunney is now so near his expected Dempseybout weight, that no chances can be taken. A too strenuous road jaunt Wednesday brought Gene down so near 186 pounds that a session with his sparring partners was bound to cut the weight too fine. The overtraining bogy still exists in the challenger’s camp.

wife would do nothing for him because they would have to testify against him. Ecton testified Hamrick and Charles Hoover, former investigator In the State fire marshal’s office, were “good friends" and that Hoover visited the Hamrick home about every two months. Hoover was asked to resign early this summer by Alfred Hogston, State fire marshal, a short time after Ecton’s first confession. Hoover had been assigned to investigate previous fires at the Hamrick home. He was a witness before the Marion County grand jury following a fire at Hamrick’s house in connection with which Charles Kaelin, attorney and former neighbor and bitter enemy of Hamrick’s was indicted. The charge against Kaelin was later nolled. Before Ecton testified Prosecutor William H Remy advised him as to his constitutional rights and said that because he was a co-defendant with the parties on trail he did not have to answer any questions asked of him. Paid $lO a Week "I want to testify voluntarily and tell the truth,” Ecton replied. Ecton said he met Hamrick about three years ago when asked if he’d like to be “caretaker for a country home.” Ecton said he looked the place over' and agreed to work for $lO a week with board. Ecton said Hamrick promised him SI,OOO If he’d remain in his employ until he was 21. Ecton said he quit in the fall of 1924 because "Mr. Hamrick and I couldn’t get along very well.” Ecton said shortly after that he was arrested for chicken stealing and Hamrick defended him and obtained his discharge. Ecton said the following spring he returned to Hamrick’s employ. The Negro said about Jan. 1 one evening while the three were in Hamrick's kitchen, Mrs. Hamrick said, “Why don’t you tell James what we were talking about?” “Oh. it might scare him,” Ecton Hamri'tk replied. Ecton said then Hamrick asked him if he would burn their house. "Mr. Hamrick told me he was afraid to go to sleep for fear Mr. Kaelin would burn the house,” Ecton said. Ecton said he was afraid to tell Hamrick then whether or not he would carry out the plans, but did consent later. Brought in Wood “The next day Hamrick told me to haul ten wagonioads of wood, consisting of old rails, boxes and trash left from building the house, into the basement,” Ecton said. With the help of Hamrick the refuse - was hauled into the basement and scattered Over the floor, Ecton said, to permit it to dry because it had snowed. Ecton said electric wires and hay bhle wire were across the basement by him and Hamrick. He said they both went upstairs and took bed clothing out of the dresser drawers. The drawers were placed on the floor, he said. The bed clothing was taken to the basement, Ecton said. “Hamrick told me that the night I set the place afire to wrap tjie clothing on the wires and soak it with coal oil,"'Ecton said. He also was instructed by Hamrick to pour oil upon the wood and trash, Ecton said. Ecton said he used about sixty gallons of oil in saturating the clothing and other materials. On the night of Jan. 21, Ecton said he took two chairs, several gallons of paint, a small mirror, medicine cabinet, dishes and cooking utensils from the house into the garage, barn and toolhouse. Clothing Gone “Only take things from the house that won’t be noticed,” Ecton said Hamrick advised him. He said Hamrick told him to leave his clothing in the house when he fired it, but Ecton said he hid it under the seat of Hamrick's Hamrick and his wife left on Jan. 21 for Florida they took all of their clothing with them, Ecton said. Ecton asserted Hamrick warned him not to set fire to the house until the wind was out of the west. “He told me he didn’t want the garage to burn, but wanted to remodel it and live in it temporarily until he can rebuild again," he said. Both Hamrick and his wife are now living in this garage. , Ecton declared that Ha ick told him to call Hoover, not at -he State fire marshal’s office, but at his residence after the house was destroyed. Ecton said gave him a gun, which he said belonged to Hoover, to guard the property. On the night of Jan. 26, Ecton said he retired and set the alarm clock for midnight when he intended to set the house afire. Ecton said he was alone all of the time. “At 12 o’clock I got up and sat on the bed about a half hour trying to suppose whether I would carry out Mr. Hamriekss orders or not,” Ecton said. To this statement Michael A. Ryan, defense co-counsel objected, and Special Judge James M. Leathers ordered it stricken out. Ecton said he then went to the basement, saturated the bed clothing which he hung on the wires and soaked the debris. He said he then set the materials ablaze. Trapped in Cellar The witness created a sensation when he said he was trapped in the cellar by the flames and had to leave by crawling up a chute, onto the roof and down the spout. Ecton said when he retired he locked all doors and lost the keys, the flames preventing him from leaving by way of the kitchen. Ecton said he.waited for five or six minutes, and then drove down the road to a neighbor’s to call the fire department. When Ecton re turned some traction men were there trying to put the blaze out, Ecton said. Firemen soon arrived and the blaze was extinguished. Ecton deolared that after the firemen left “I began to get ready to set the house afire again.” . He said he toe* ott trash to the attic and set it afire. Ecton said he then drove In Ham-

Ell CHURCH BELL WITH DIVINING ROD OFd-Fashioned Method Locates Sunken Treasure. Bu United Press STOCKHOLM, Sept. 16. The staunch supporters of the old-time divining rod have scored a success against their scientist opponents by iscertaining the location of an old church bell, sunk off the Swedish coast during the Russian shore raids in the war of 1809. The bell belonged to the church on, the Island of Vaddoe and local tradition has it that in order to save the bell from the Russians, it was placed on a sled, but that its weight broke the ice as it was being taken across a frozen passage to the mainland. It has now been located by a divining rod man, a painter named Karlstrom; who claims to have the power to find hidden abjects of oopper, brass or silver. To prove that he had found the church bell, two iron rods were driven down to it, about twelve feet, and an electrio bell was made to ring through the submerged contact. Now the- islanders liave organized a> committee to build a coffer dam and raise the bell. Those who cannot work contribute money. All over Sweden divining rod men are still in much demand for the discovery of well springs and water veins and in the press a dispute has been raging for months as to the scientific basis for their reactions. IDENTIFY SOLDIER Bu Times Special LONDON, Sept. 16.—A postal card dated March 20, 1917, has Just cleared up the mystery of a hitherto unidentified soldier who was killed in June of that year. The soldier’s parents remembered sending him the postal which was found on him while the bodies of the fallen were being place in authorized British cemeteries. rick's machine to Old Augusta to "kill time” before calling fire department. He said he then returned and called for help over the Hamrick phone after telephoning Hoover the house was on fire. - Placed Under Arrest Ecton said the second time firemen arrived, the place was completely In flames. He said he was placed under arrest by Sergeant Dean. Ecton said Hoover visited him in jail and that he (Ecton) told Hoover that he was upstairs and heard some noise and awoke and found the house on fire. Ecton said he also called “a lady” whose telephone Hamrick gave him before departing for Florida. This woman was supposed to wire Hamrick, Ecton said. Ecton was further examined by Remy this afternoon. It is probable he will be on the stand Friday morning for cross-examination. Louis G. Thomas, county recorder, testified as to two mortgages Hamrick had tal<en out cn his home. ■ Delmer Wise, oil truck driver, witness on the stand today, testified he delivered sixty gallons of oil to the Hamrick home early In Janary of this year. Ecton, he said, helped him put it into the basement. State witnesses Wednesday testified the Negro was at the home when they were attracted there by the~fire. William Green of Lebanon, Ind., interurbnn motorman who assisted, in quenching the first blaze, said he. the house afire in the basement about 1:30 p. m. as his freight was passing. Green said ho and two other men in charge of the freight attempted to put the- fire out. Green said he asked Ecton for a pall to get water to throw on the fire and Ecton replied there was no' container there. He said he asxed Ecton to unlock the door and when ( the youth did fiot hurry he ordered ( him to knock tne door down. Green, said after he entered he smelled the, odor of coal oil and saw saturated quilts and rags on the kitchen floor.

Mumford, insurance agent, testified he sold Hamrick oa 1 last Dec. 7 Iwo insurance policies' for $£,500 each, protecting the houne, 1 contents and outhouses against fire 1 lossses. Each policy was in a different company. Mumford explained Hamrick originally had his property insured in the company for which Mumford was direct agent, but he was forced to cancel the policy "because hie company could not afford to risk dealing with Hamrick."
