WHEAT PRICE CLIMB CHEERS WHOLE NATION Wave of Optimism Sweeps Grain Belt; Farmers Rush Shipping. RAILROADS ARE HELPED Country Merchants Start Stocking Shelves for Renewed Trade. By United Press CHICAGO, Nov. 3.—Wheat, the grain which spelled despair and want for thousands of American farmers a few weeks ago, when its value sank to the levels of Elizabethan England, today was hailed as a savior. Optimism replaced gloom in the wheat-growing regions of the west as farmers read reports that December wheat was selling at 63 cents a bushel. In less than a month, an unswerving rise had carried the price up 19'4 to 20% cents a bushel from a low previously unequaled in American grain trading and recorded only at Liverpool in the seventeenth century. The advance was attributed to .sudden development of short crops in Russia and other European grain countries. Acreage Is Cut In part, however, the rise came because the outlook for wheat was ■so black at planting time this fall. Farmers in every section of the country cut their winter wheat acreage sharply, estimated at 15 to 20 per cent reduction. Other farmers held their grain at harvest time. Prices were so low they feared it would cost them n. re to ship it than they would receive. They stored the grain in barns, attics, cellars—anywhere it would be safe, hoping dimly that by some miracle prices would rise eventually. Now that miracle has come. Farmers who had looked toward the holiday time a long winter without income, hastily were loading wheat for shipment to market. In the southwest wheat belt more than half the total wheat stocks are held on the farms, grain experts estimated. Brings Cheer to Wheat Belt The greatest cash crop of the western farmers which had been frozen by the small prices paid at country elevators suddenly had been released. Little known events thousands of miles away in Russia gave the entire wheat regions cheer. Country storekeepers, who had held their stocks low. knowing their customers had no funds, were reported stocking up for the Thanksgiving and Christmas trade. A 15,000-car rise in the weekly car loadings was expected, at least part of it believed due to larger grain shipments to terminal points. Freight cars were held in readiness for a belated fall grain movement. Railroads whose revenues have been reduced sharply in agricultural regions by failure of farmers to ship grain, foresaw a chance to better their last quarter earnings statements. * In all sections the rise of wheat was the chief topic of discussion. Newspaper reports were scanned carefully and in the cities grain brokers received scores of inquiries • as to the latest quotation. See Better Prices Agricultural students pointed out There should be marked improvement in the grain situation through the next year. With winter wheat planting sharply reduced, and a large part of the farm board stocks being moved to fill export demand, they asserted prices should be bettered due to reduced stocks. On the Chicago Board of Trade, where the bulk of trading on the advance has been conducted, traders asserted that for the first time in months the public was investing in wheat. Most of the large traders who participated in the start of the bull movement have sold out their lines, they reported. Other world markets are following Chicago movements closely, traders said, indicating that American grain again commands the world market. 5 FIREMEN INVOLVED IN SHIFT BY VOSHELL Department Chief Changes Given Safety Board O.

ROAD PATROL FIGHT TO FLARE County Council to Get Plea of 25,000 at Session. Fight to force retention of the county road patrol is expected to be waged at the meeting of the county council Wednesday, when petitions signed by 25,000 Marion county farmers, business men and citizens urging this step, will be presented. At the same time, the council is expected to act on proposed bond issues totaling $1,000,000. Among these is one for $65,000 for the track elevation at the Belt railroad and Raymond street; $350,000 for a temporary loan until the taxes are received; $245,000 for poor relief in all of the townships, and $23,000 for the erection of a men's dormitory at the county poor farm. The council also is expected to authorize a $348,000 refunding issue to pay off outstanding bonds totaling this figure in order to relieve the treasurer of paying off the old issue, which has matured. The council expects to sell this 4 per cent issue which will mature in twenty years, and thus save the outlay of $348,000 necessary for present redemptions. It is estimated. however, that if the 4 per cent bonds can be sold, the staving off of redeeming them will cast $120,000 over the twenty-year period. Doubt has been expressed if an issue carrying so low an interest rate could be sold at this time. SEN. WATSON TO SPEAK Scheduled for Address Friday to Journalistic Fraternity.

AKRON CARRIES 207 ON FLIGHT; RECORD IS SET DO-X Mark of 169 Beaten; Takes Air Easily With Heavy Load. SWINGS OVER EAST California Trip Scheduled in January; Millions Crane Necks. By United Pre** LAKEHURST, N. J., Nov. 3.—The new naval dirigible Akron rose from the mooring mast at the naval air station today for a training flight over New York and Philadelphia, carrying 207 persons, the largest number ever carried at one time by any type of aircraft. The German sesquiplane DO-X carried 169 passengers during a flight over Lake Constance, Switzerland: Despite the heavy load, the great dirigible took the air easily and swung toward Philadelphia. The cruise may be extended along the seaboard, depending on the weather, but it was believed the Akron would travel only between Philadelphia and New York. The airplane is expected to return at sundown. The air giant took aloft almost the entire personnel of the naval air station. When the Akron returned here Monday night to pause for an hour before weighing off again for a night’s cruise, Rear Admiral William A. Moffett revealed that the vessel will fly to California in January or February for duty with the Pacific fleet. The Akron may make a flight to Honolulu soon after that, he said. The big craft flew over Washington, Philadelphia, Trenton, Staten island, then up the Hudson to the new George Washington bridge linking the Jersey Palisades with Manhattan. Then it swung southward over the towering midtown skyscrapers. New York police estimated 3,000,000 persons gaper and craned necks from vantage* points in Manhattan and the Bronx. Traffic was tied up hopelessly' in many places. EDISON STILL ‘ABSENT’ Late Inventor’s Son Believed In New York to Contest Will. By United Press WILMINGTON, Del., Nov. 3. William L.

clung to life until a week and a half later. But, said Dr. Karl R. Koons, deputy coroner, the knife wounds were only a contributing factor in the death of Steele, who died of empjaema, as shown by the official record. A post mortem examination, according to Koones, disclosed that the aged inmate long had been ill of a critical lung infection. The knife wounds, which were only minor, may have hastened death. Carter declared that Steele’s assailant will not be prosecuted as result of Dr. Koons’ verdict. Carter discussed the matter with Prosecutor Herbert Wilson, he said. Other inmates today charged that William Miller, another aged pauper, was treated abusively because he made statements that Steele was “murdered.” Miller

Carter stated today that Steele was examined and treated four times within ten days by Dr, R. R. Noble, deputy county physician. It was further charged by inmates that Howard Wiseman, assistant superintendent, who is without medical training, had dressed Steele's wounds and had provided medical treatment.

JACKSON BRANDED KILLER, PROOF OF GUILT PROMISED BY POISON TRIAL DEFENSE Prosecution Has Failed Utterly in Attempt to Prove Mrs. Simmons Killed Children, Tindall Declares. SOARS HIGH ON ORATORY WINGS Judge Is Expected to Instruct Jurors, Turn Case Over to Them, Late This . Afternoon. BY STAFF CORRESPONDENT LEBANON, Ind., Nov. 3.—Horace N. Jackson, Hancock county farmer, today was accused of the poison murder of Alice Jean Simmons, in a scene that threw Boone circuit court into an uproar. The charge was made during the closing defense argument in the murder trial of Mrs. Carrie W. Simmons. ’ The accusation was hurled by Charles L. Tindall, counsel for Mrs. Simmons, in an appeal to the jury to acquit her on the charge of murdering her small daughter, June 21.

“Jackson did do it,” Tindall yelled as he pounded on a table. “Jackson did do it and I’ll prove it to the jury before I’m through.” He addressed his remarks to Prosecutor Ben Scifres and the jury. Scifres, in his statement to the jury Monday, had “dared” Tindall and other defense lawyers to assume someone other than Mrs. Simmons of the crime. Target Throughout Trial Through the more than five weeks of the trial, Jackson has been the object of testimony darts hurled by tne defense, which, time after time, intimated he might be the slayer of Jean and her sister, Virginia. The jury is expected to receive the case before 7 tonight and Judge John W. Hornaday probably will be prepared for several hours to receive a verdict before directing a sealed decision. Tindall was followed by Roy Adney, special prosecutor, delivering the state’s final argument. Tindall, after berating Jackson and the state for three hours, closed with an eloquent plea to send “this mother back to her little farm home and the dell where the bodies of her two girls lie buried.” Tindall charged the state “was obssessed with Mrs. Simmons’ guilt” and did not look far enough into the facts. He said Scifres “could love Jackson if he wanted to.” When Tindall made his charge against Jackson, Scifres smiled and remarked: “Go right along, Tindall; go right along.” “I felt compelled to answer the ‘dare’ of the prosecution,” Tindall continued. “I believe the evidence proves Jackson did it. Silence Is Cited “It was done by someone who had the opportunity, knew strychnine, and had it in his possession. I agree a depraved mind conceived this unspeakable crime and its commission. "One person of the twenty-seven at the picnic fits the decription of possessing a depraved mind. He's an habitual criminal and intent on mischief. “Why did I say Jackson did it? Because he had the motive; he was capable of it. He knew strychnine and he was near the cars before the picnic.” “There was one day when Jackson, the bosom friend of the prosecutor, did not joke and was not so talkative. That was when he sat in front of the Pollard home for two hours. He didn’t say anything to any one. “I don’t care where he did it, at the Pollard home or at the, picnic ground. Jackson tried to avert suspicion from himself by laying the blame on Mrs. Simmons. Branded Jekyll-Hyde “Ten thousand doctors could not make me believe he was sick. I could throw one of those convulsions, myself. Holding his arms stiff before him, Tindall had a member of the jury feel them. “Feel my arms,” he said. “They are as stiff as Jackson’s were. “My God, haven't I the right to say that about- him. If I were prosecuting him and didn’t convict him, I’d feel I failed miserably. “And then they say this innocent woman and mother is guilty. "Jackson is a Jekyll-Hyde, a man ! of two minds.” Describing Charles W. Friedman, Indianapolis druggist, who said he sold sixty grains of strychnine to Mrs. Simmons, as a “ghost,” Tindall

fer their household belongings to the polo stable in the park. Colonel Clarence H. Higginson, commanding officer of an artillery unit whose horses are stabled there, had extra blankets. A few old folding chairs were in the stable. Mr. and Mrs. Jaeger placed them in a row in a vacant stall, laid on them a deep pile of empty oat bags, and made themselves comfortable. Somewhere they found an old rag rug for the floor. They’re set for the winter.

declared the druggist had “started with a falsehood on his lips and left the witness stand with a falsehood on his lips.” "I thought he was a dumb liar at first,” Tindall said. “That little fellow (pointing to The Times reporter). brought Friedman up here; Friedman, who half-bowed his way into the witness chair, and, after a cursory look, identified Mrs. Simmons as the poison buyer. * Says Friedman Lied “He told his story just like a little boy. I knew he was telling falsehoods all the time.” Pausing a moment. Tindall opened his final plea for Mrs. Simmons’ acquittal. “Send this mother back to her little home in the country, where she can breath the fresh air of the farm,” he begged. “Send her where she can visit the dell where her two girls lie buried. "Her future, her liberties, and her life depend on you. The eyes of the world are on you today. “Return a verdict as soon as vou can. “Do so, that you can return to your homes and sleep the sleep of the innocent, never troubled in conscience.” Tindall stressed the jury's duties in deciding whether any reasonable doubt existed on Mrs. Simmons’ guilt and If they believed any one else might have committed the crime, to free the 47-year-old farm mother. Held All Circumstantial Reading from the jury instructions, Tindall pointed to the state's evidence as “wholly circumstantial” and declared the state had not “re- | moved the mystery around this case.” He praised Mrs. Simmons’ character and her testimony, declaring her “soul was revealed” to the jury while she withstood the battering of the state’s counsel on crosss-ex-amination. “Weakened in body and undergoing the tortures of hell, she withstood the cross-examination,” Tindall shouted. “Why? Because she’s innocent, that’s why.” Tindall opened his argument with lavish oratory and praise for the jury, the judge, other defense attorneys, and the prosecuting staff. After calling the prosecutors “able lawyers with few peers,” he turned suddenly and demanded of the jury What is the reason they have failed utterly in this case?” Mrs. Simmons watched closely as (Turn to Page 3) KILLS 3 CHILDREN, SELF 21-Year-Old Mother Ends Life; Worried by Lack of Food.
