INCREASED SALES AFFECTS MARKET
CHICAGO,, June IS. Increased selling pressure in the corn market today had a noticeable effect as a check on bullish enthusiasm. The basis of the selling appeared to be a prevailing opinion that the present growth of the crop was far ahead of the normal and that serious detriment Just now from heat was unlikely. Besides, the government advices Indicated that the force of the hot wave had been broken throughout a large part of the belt. Opening prices which

Considerable evidence was introduced by the defense, in the case of
Hilda McCarthy against James McCarthy, in the circuit court Monday and Tuesday mornings in an effort to prove that Mrs. McCarthy should not have custody of her twelve year old son, Albert. She was recently granted a divorce by Judge Henry C. Fox but the child was turned over to the board of children's guardians. Later the court reversed this decision and the board of guardians objected, stating tha.t the defense had not been permitted to introduce considerable of its evidence to prove that the mother should not have custory of the boy. Judge Fox consented to reopen the case and appointed Attorney Walter Butler as special judge to retry it. Practically the same evidence was introduced by attorneys for Mrs. McCarthy as was given when the divorce case was originally tried. Attorneys for the defense, however, introduced considerable evidence that had not been heard before. Several witnesses, among them a 12 year old girl, testified regard Mrs. Carthy's alleged conduct with a railroad man by the name of Jones. The defense also sought to prove that she drank whiskey and at one time became intoxicated in the presence of her son, Albert. The husband did not ask custody ol
the child, but fought the case in order that the boy would be turned over to the board of children's guardians in care of Mrs. Elizabeth Candler, probation officer. Judge Butler took the case under advisement Tuesday afternoon and announced that he would give his ' decision Thursday morning.

TWO SLIGHTLY HURT
IN AUTO ACCIDENT
Baptiste Mercuiio. 17 years old, and
Joseph Mercurio, 15 year3 old, were
slightly injured Tuesday morning when the truck of Mercurio & Co., which they, were driving, backed off an embankment on the Backmeyer hill, south of the city. The truck turned upside down as it went over the hill with the boys underneath. The top broke the fall of the truck and is probably the cause of their escaping injury. Joseph Mercurio suffered a few slight bruises on the back and head. According to Baptiste Mercurio, who was driving the truck, loaded with
fruit to Liberty, the engine stopped pulling as they had almost reached the top of the hill, and the brakes refused
to work. Robert Meyers, who was along jumped off and tried to block the truck several times while young Mercurio guided it backward, The speed of the truck increased at such a rate that at near the bottom of the hill, he was not able to hold it to the road. Mercurio estimated the loss of fruit and damage of the truck at about $1,000.

"Stay at home and save money" was the policy adopted by the council, Monday night. The ordinance, appropriating $55,000 for the light plant, was referred back to the ordinance committee for amendment. The policy of "stay at home and save money" was expressed by Councilman Ford after a letter was read from the Municipal league inviting the members of the council to attend a convention of city fathers to be held June 26 and 27. "In view of the fact that we are short of funds," Mr. Ford said. I think we are serving the city better by
staying at home. Even though we (had money to spend it would be far I better to spend it for thrift stamps j and aid in ending the war."
When the ordinance for the appropriation of $55,000 for a dam, screens, and boilers for the light plant came
j up. councilman aiterman opposed
its passage on the grounds tnat ne was not certain whether it was really needed saying that his constituents were not in favor of it being passed. Government to Decide. A letter from the National Council of Defense Superintendent Dillon stated recommended the appropriation for machinery. The government, he said, would make the final decision as to Richmond's needs even though the ordinance is passed. If government officials decided the plant could operate with the present machinery, even though the council appropriated
the money the machinery could not be bought. i As the councilmen believed that the Carpenter dam would relieve the sit- j
uation. Attorney KobDins expiainea that Carpenter was holding out for more money than the board of works cared to pay. However, he said the ordinance should be referred back to the ordinance committee to be amend ed to cover the Carpenter proposition in case the board and Carpenter could "get together." Willard Carr in a letter, said he would accept the appointment to the school board. Councilman Walterman charged that the mayor enforced just sucli "ordinances that he wanted enforced," in referring to the parking ordinance which he said was not being enforced by the city police. Mayor Zimmerman said the parking ordinance can not be enforced unless
CIVIC BODIES CAN COMBAT TREASON The aid which civic organizations can lend in combating pro-Germanism and incendiarism, was emphasized by C. W. Ullman. the new secretary of the Commercial club, in an address at the weekly luncheon of the Rotary club Tuesdav nnnn
Mr. Ullman sketched the developIment of the United States from the j chiefs on the basis of physical fitness. to the more complex situation of toiday. He pointed out the insults I which had caused America to enter the war. and the importance of using every agency to win the victory. The dangers of incendiary speech were emphasized. 1 "We have learned since we entered the war," he said, "that liberty does not mean license, and free speech does not mean incendiary speech. It is the duty of such organizations as the Rotary club and the Commercial club, to make people think and by cooperation with the newspapers, we should be able properly to focus public opinion." The newly elected officers spoke briefly. They are John H. Johnson, president; J. H. Bentley. vice president; Ed Wilson, secretary, and W. H. Rindt, treasurer.
