WHEAT GAINS AFTER HITTING 23-YEAR LOW Probe of Reds’ Influence on Market Ordered by Farm Federation. ASK HYDE TO ATTEND Board of Trade Chiefs Conduct Own Inquiry Into Grain Slump. Bu United Press CHICAGO, Sept. 24.—Wheat rallied unexpectedly at the close of the Chicago Board of Trade today, after September futures had dropped to 76% cents, the lowest price in twenty-three years, and closed with all months showing advances which more than wiped out the day’s recessions. The recovery occurred after the American Farm Bureau Federation announced its board of directors would meet on Thursday, Oct. 2, for a two-day investigation of the Soviet government’s alleged influence on the sagging market of the last month. September wheat touched its low point an hour before the close when the price of 76% cents was( % cent under the low of July, 1914, and % cent above the record low of January, 1907. World Conflict Changed Buying orders from short interests and eastern houses turne’d the tide in the last hour and September wheat closed at 79's, compared to Tuesday’s close of 78%. Other months shared in the upward swing, December closing at 83, a net gain of %. March and May at the end of the session were at 86 and 89, respectively, around Tuesday’s final level. M. S. Winder, executive secretary of the farm bureau sumoned the board in the absence of President Sam H. Thompson, who is in Washington, and announced that the federation has been making a full investigation of “Communist activities.” ‘‘The entire situation is taking the aspect of a world-wide economic conflict in which the Russian peasant it pitted against the farmers of America,’’ Winder declared. Hyde Is Invited Arthur M. Hyde, secretary of agriculture, who arrived in Chicago Tuesday night, was invited to attend the meeting and indicated he would be present. The farm bureau Investigation, Winders announced, will be aimed not only at the Soviet’s short selling on the Chicago market, but will consider reforms in the regulations of the Board of Trade, intended to prevent speculative manipulation. The board of trade’s own investigation in charge of its business conduct committee started in secret after the market closed with the committee prepared to seek testimony from brokers through whom the Soviet executed its selling orders. i ’rove Fake Telegram The other inquiry growing out of the downward movement in wheat ordered by Representative Hamilton Fish Jr., chairman of the house committee on Communist activities, will start in Chicago Monday with Board of Trade officials as the first witnesses. . . i Meanwhile, the Winnipeg gram ; exchange investigated a forged telegram sent to Chicago Tuesday which reported the Canadian government about to take over the Canadian wheat pool. The government denied the report. All deliveries of wheat also reached new lows during trading at Liverpool and Winnipeg. The Liverpool market dispatches said, was depressed by the Russian and Canadian situations. * This was the influence that started the Chicago market downward.

Girl Breathes Five Minutes Without Aid; Recovery Seems Assured. By United Press CHICAGO, Sept. 24.—Miss Frances McGann, student nurse who is being kept alive by a “mechanical lung,” virtually was assured of ultimate recovery today, when she was able to breathe without the use of the respirator. She was taken from the Drinker machine, the steel chamber in which she has been confined for twelve days, for the test of her strength. The muscular tension which had stopped the action of her lungs w’hen she was stricken with infantile paralysis was found to have relaxed slightly. She was able to breathe for intervals as long as five minutes outside the machine. This convinced physicians that she will recover. However, it may be two weeks before use of the respirator can be abandoned entirely. Grateful because the “steel lung” saved her life, Miss McGann plans to dedicate herself to furtherance of the use of the respirator, it was learned. She still has a year of training before she will be a graduate nurse, and she plans to devote some of that time to acquiring skill in operation of the machine, attendants said. Two Girls Kept Alive Bv United Press SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 24—Two girls suffering from infantile paralysis were kept alive today by a Drinker respirator. Tlie girls, aged 18 and 7, respectively, were placed in he machine alternately when their breathing became difficult. STUDENT MADE PASTOR Butler Senior Appointed Minister at Northwood Christian.

HOOVER BOOSTS HOME BUILDING Laments Fact Autos Are Easier to Buy. /> // t nitrd Prrftft WASHINGTON, Sept. 25.—President Hoover declared that any American of sound character and industrious habits should be able “to provide himself with adequate housing and properly to buy his own home,” in addressing the initial meeting at the White House today of the planning committee of his conference on home owning and home building. The planning committee met with the President after a preliminary meeting at the commerce department with Secretary of Commerce Lamont. This conference is to lay the groundwork for a future larger conference of financiers, economists and educators to be held here later. The president told the planning committee he lamented the fact it was so much easier to finance the purchase of automobiles than the purchase of homes. “The finance of home building, especially for second mortgages, is the backward segment of our whole credit system,” Mr. Hoover said. “It is easier to borrow 85 per cent on an automobile and repay it on the installment plan, than to buy a home on that basis —and generally the house requires a higher interest rate.”

depositors, the additional dividend will bring the total receiver’s payments to 72% cents on each dollar held at the time the bank's doors were closed in 1927. Lowther said large amounts of the bank’s assets “either are entirely worthless or of far less value than was carried on the bank’s books.” Total “bad” assets of the institution when it closed were $857,253, with insolvency estimated at $604,564, according to the report. Losses on first mortgage real estate certificates held by the ban)c, on Florida real estate were a large factor, and Lowther cited condition’ of the Elevator Realty Company, the Inglerose Investment Company, the Jacksonville (Fla.) Realty and Mortgage Company, and the Phoenix Realty Company, subsidiaries, as reasons for the insolvency. Total assets of the institution at unsolvency were $4,548,923.

Sent Mother Away The elder Phillips came home early in the evening, the son said, and announced he was going “to a wedding where there’ll be plenty of liquor. You had better be ready to shoot, because when I come home I’m goin’ to clean you all out.” William told police that he got the family shotgun, loaded it, and sat on the porch for hours waiting for his father to return. “I’m going to kill father when he comes home,” the boy announced to his mother when she questioned him anxiously about the gun. “It will be better for us all if he is dead.” William attempted to send his mother to a neighbor’s home to spare her the ordeal, but she returned shortly before the shooting. About 10, the elder Phillips came home. “He stepped from the automobile,” William said, “and stood an instant in the glare of the headlights.” Mother Verifies Story “I aimed for a spot between his head and shoulders and fired,” William recounted today without emotion. “Dad was lying there on the ground. I went over and took his hand. It felt limp. “‘Good-by, dad,’ I told him, and then called the police.” Mrs. Mary Phillips, the mother, verified the son’s story.William was charged with first degree murder. When detectives took the warrant to his cell at noon, young Phillips said; “I’m sorry I killed dad, but it was better for all of us.”

William Nackenhorst, 67, of 3151 Park avenue, pioneer city banker and president of the Fountain Square State bank, died early this morning at his home following two months’ illness.

Born in 1863 in Pittsburgh, he came to this city in 1873. He was the founder of the Peoples Mutual Savings and! Loan Association and its president.

GROCER NORRIS ADMITS BACKING Asserts Outside Interests Put Him in Race. * Bv United Press , LINCOLN, Neb.? Sept. 24.—Grocer George W. Norris’ admission that he became an opponent'of Senator George W. Norris, at the instigation of outside interests, led the Nye senate committee today to go deeper into the matter in an effort to determine the identity of those interests. The grocery store clerk, whom Senator Norris charged with having entered the recent Nebraska campaign because of the sameness of name, told the committee he had not decided to the seek the Republican senatorial nomination of his own volition, as he previously had insisted. Norris, however, would not say who had induced him to enter his name and what backing he hoped to receive. Through other witnesses, Senator Gerald P. Nye, committee chairman, sought answers to these questions.

Northsiders Angered by Effort to Obtain Old Church. Petition of Mae Berry, dance instructor, to open a dance studio in the former Church of Christ, Scientist, Thirty-fourth street and Washington boulevard, brought loud protests Tuesday afternoon from residents at a session of the zoning appeals board. Neighbors protested that the studio would keep them awake at night and would tend to degrade the neighborhood, because, it was charged, the studio soon would become a public place. Charles Barry, attorney, led the battle against granting the permit. “The building was erected by the church as a temporary .structure,” he told board members. “The place is cheap and should be torn down. “As residents, we do not care to have jazz perforating the air. That won’t add to our homes. There seems to be a certain amount of impudence in the request seeking to debauch the neighborhood with a dance studio.” Supporters of the petition declared the former church would not become a “dance hall,” and that only one night each week, would there be music until 11 p. m. .The board votes failed to reach a majority against the petition and it will be reconsidered in two weeks. “I think the people are unduly alarmed,” said John W. Atherton, Butler university executive secretary and board member, who declined to vote. “It seems to be sort of a school. I don't see any particular objection and I’d like to look at the building before voting.” ACT FOR PROSPERITY Clubs to Spend Million to Hasten Good Times. Bn I nited Press MUSKEGON, Mich., Sept. 24.

29 POLICEMEN SHIFTED IN 17 DISTRICTS IN DRIVE TO RID FORCE OF CORRUPTION Juggling of Patrolmen Brings Men From Outlying Beats to Sections Alleged Infested With Bootlegging, Vice. ‘JUST BEGINNING,’ SAYS KINNEYi Orders Issued Without Advance Notice After Two Secret Meetings of Safety Board; * Highers-Ups May Be Moved. (Districts involved in police shakeun described on Pare I) With policemen in seventeen Indianapolis districts and two motor police squads suddenly shifted today, no further move of city officials to rid the city and police department of alleged corruption was expected before Thursday. The safety board will hold another conference this afternoon, Mayor Reginald 11. Sullivan said. Orders for the changes were given twenty-nine patrolmen and motor squad members by phone and at roll call this morning. Majority of the policemen have been in the districts from four to six months. Decision to make the changes .came after two closed conferences of the safety board and Police Chief Jerry Kinney, with Sullivan, Tuesday.

Prediction of the changes in the police department were made Monday in The Times. City officials at first issued statements denying that any action of this sort was contemplated, but in a closed conference Tuesday afternoon, the order for the changes was given.

Arrest of eighteen policemen on federal indictments charging conspiracy to violate the national prohibition act had set off the bombshell in the police department Saturday. The changes bring police who have been patrolling outlying districts and residential sections of the city into districts that are said to be infested with bootlegging, gambling and vice joints. Suit for Padlock Although no ranking officers have been affected by the turnover in the department, it was indicated from reliable sources that some of the higherups in the department might be subject to the; same treatment as the patrolmen before the revision is completed. Suit to padlock the speakeasy at 843 East Washington street, in which federal investigators allege they obtained much of their evidence. was filed in superior court three today by Indiana Anti-Saloon League attorneys. The speakeasy was operated by Chris and Pete Schischcoff, and Chris Vilaschcoff, all under federal grand jury indictment on liquor violation charges. The suit names as defendants Charles W. and Alice Cook, and Walter G. Bowlby, owners of the building. “Just the Beginning” The federal grand jury may be reconvened before Nov. 3, the date of the next scheduled session, to consider new information gathered by the federal operatives, it was learned today. The district attorney will be in court at New Albany the week starting Oct. 20 and sudden reconvening of the grand jury here upon his return would not be a surprise. “This is just the beginning,” Kinney said. “There will be more changes. We did not feel it was advisable to make too many changes at this time. We believe it would

not be wise to put too many new men on districts in one sweep. “There is nothing against the men we have changed. The shift will enable us to make sure that the districts are watched carefully.” Kinney stated that orders to “clean up” law violations had been reiterated to every member of the force. The shifts center about sections of the city within and in the immediate vicinity of the downtown district. 17 Districts in Shakeup The police districts affected are: 19, 22, 3, 28, 4, 58, 59, 10, 16, 45, 49, 47 and 54, while motor squads have been changed in districts 28, 43, 44, 45, 46, 47 and 48. Patrolmen on the 7 a. m. to 3 p. m. shift under Captain John Mullen are; Cecil Neal from district 3, downtown, to replace Roscoe Wilkerson in 19, in the northeast residential section; Charles O’Donnell replacing Frank Delatores in district 10, downtown; Delatores replacing Carl Kull in 16, a residential section; Kull replacing O’Donnell in district 4, downtown; Herbert Schrum replacing Ward Pettijohn in 45, southeast, and Pettijohn replaces Schrum in 49, southwest. Motor Cops Change Places On the 11 p. m. to 7 a. m. runs, under Capt. Jesse McMurtr.y, tie following patrolmen are shifted: Patrick Morarity, to 19, replacing Lee Oliver; Oliver to district 22, replacing Patterson; Patterson to 3, replacing Morarity; Thomas McCormick to 28, replacing Harry Hayes; Hayes to 4, replacing McCormick; T 'mas Leonard to 58 and 59, replacing Charles Rardon, who replaces Leonard in district 10. Motor police during these hours at substation 7 will change places with those at substation 8. The latter group will be composed of Irwin Bailey and Joe Klaiber and will take over 7’s area, formerly patrflKled by Earl Higgs and Otto Maas.

Beats Are Traded Motor officer Clyde Mitchell will leave headquarters to replace Fred Hague, one of the eighteen policemen who were suspended after their indictment in federal court Saturday for alleged conspiracy to violate the national prohibition law. Hague was in districts 47 and 48. On the 3 to 11 p. m. beats, under Captain Otto Petit, the following patrolmen were changed: John Keely, replacing Floyd Reidenbach in 47; Reidenbach replacing Keeley in District 4; Patrick Dillane replacing John Allison in 54, and Allison replacing Dillane in 10. Motor police on this eight-hour shift at substations 7 and 8 change places as did those on 7 a. m. to 3 'p. m. beats. Those included are; O. B. McClain, Charles Felton, John Alkire and Wesley Stutesman. U. S. Continues Probe As the shifts were made. Sullivan and the board prepared to meet again in further efforts to get to the bottom of the alleged police graft and bribery and investigate reports that the city has been “wide open” for months. Sullivan said the group will not public its findings until Frank C, Dailey, board member, can attend the sessions. He has been occupied with court hearings. Other facts uncovered by Stark in a secret probe of the alleged “pay-off” situation three weeks ago, will be presented grand jurors. Stark said enough evidence? has been secured to result in the return of indictments. Federal operatives, who obtained the evidence against the indicted policemen, were reported continuing their investigations today. Hoagland Is Silent Ned Hoagland, one of the policemen under government indictment did not appear before the Marion county grand jqry today as expected. Prosecutor Judson L. Stark announced, following a conference with Hoagland, that / the indicted officer will not go before the jury. Stark declined to reveal nature of the conference, except to quote Hoagland as denying a threat to “tell what he knew of alleged “pay offs.” At the time of his arrest by federal agents, Hoagland told reporters they don't need to think 111 take this ran laying down. There’s a lot of birds walking the streets right now that will be a lot more worried than I am.”
