President Wilson has requested Governor Allen of Kansas to forward to the federal trade commission any information he has tending to Indicate that the recent decline in wheat prices was due to unfair practices or competition, or to other artificial causes.

"In the meantime he will appreciate it if you will be good enough to forward to the federal trade commission any information in your possession, which, In your opinion, tends to indicate that the recent decline in wheat prices is due to unfair practices or competition, or to other artificial causes." Although the agricultural conference, held here for the purpose cf obtaining more liberal credits for farmers, had concluded its sessions, a committee remained in Washington awaiting announcement of the future credit policy of the federal reserve banks.

Frank Campione, a youthful member of the notorious Cardinella bandit gang, and John Henry Reese, a Pullman porter, who killed his wife with a hatchet, were executed on Thursday at one pull of the hangman's lever in tho county jail. The young Italian sobbed as the trap was sprung. The negro was calm. "I'm going to my rest and I'll find peace," was his only statement. "Almighty God will take care of me." Campione's shrieks as he was bound aroused the prisoners through the jail. As the trap fell they shouted: "Goodby. Joe." Two guards had to support Campione to the gallows. While the equipment of execution was being adjusted he pleaded, "let me go, let me go," and he was crying when the trap was sprung. The execution was accomplished without delays. Others of the condemned 13 were granted stays of reprieves in the last few weeks. Before Frank Zagar, twenty-one-year-old murderer of two, went to the gallows Friday, bitterly cursing society, he said : "I will get justice when I cross the border to the other world." He crossed tbe border at 8:17' o'clock, 'according to the jailer's watch. He died on the same gallows where the crimes of Frank Campione and John Henry Heese were expiated Thursday. Zagar, when he went to trial on May 1 of this year, took the witness stand before Judge Sahath and surprised the court by announcing that he had committed two, not one, murders. said he needed spending money and chose this .manner of getting it. "Where were you on the niht of April 15 when Polidaris Serdakis wa?i killed and Spiris Kalzouros was wounded?" the judge asked.' "I was right there in lUirnham." .hgar answered. "And I bumped Serdakis off and shot his friend. And what's more, I croaked another fellow that same nicht."
