GRAIN PRICES
(Markets by Lamson Bros & Co,
, CHICAGO. Nov. 24. Wheat was well absorbed on every little set back. Cash houses Bought December and sold May and Vere later credited with buying May. Closing strength in Liverpool and a sharp advance in Winnepeg were influential factors. Cash news was somewhat mixed, but there was a good milling demand here, some grades selling 1 cents higher. The seaboard took a small cargo of hard winter over night from here and was also reported as being a liberal buyer of Manitobas. Cash premiums are well maintained for this season of the year and should eventually have a bullish effect on futures. Corn showed a firm undertone although making little net gain for the day. Premiums on some grades in the sample market were higher. RANGE OF FUTURES (Markets by Lamson Bros. & Co., 212 Union National Bank Building) CHICAGO, Nov. 24.

Prince Abdul Madjid Effendi became
supreme caliph of Moslems today. He
was invested with the sacred mantel
of the prophet Mohammed in the famous Topcapou palace, overlooking the Golden Horn, with a lavishness of pomp and ceremony, reminiscent of the days of his imperial predecessors.
He is the thirty-eighth successor to
Mohammed in the house of Oslam and the first Turkish caliph without tem
poral power. His elevation to the
caliphate gives him the title of com
mander of all the Mussalmans and de
fenders of the faith.
MOVE TO GUT MIKE
WAGES VILL FAIL SAYS ELLIS SEARLES
(By Associated Press) PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 24. Any move to lower wages of miners or remove any favorable working conditions granted them in recent years would not be accepted by the miners, Ellis Searles, editor of the official publication of the United Mine Workers, declared in an address today before the Business Science club.
"WTiether there will be anotner
strike of coal miners next year Is a question that no living man can answer today." he said. "If there are
anv in this country who are anticipat
ing lower wages for coal miners next year they may as well abandon that
anticipation. The miners are not ask
ing for any general or universal increase in their wages In the bitumin
ous industry but miners in the anthracite region have asked, they are now
asking, and they will continue to demand, increased wages until their wage rates are brought to the level
wnere tney Deiong. He pointed out the hazards of min
ing and declared those "who enjoy the benefits and the comforts that flow
from the labor of these men ought to be humane and fair enough to grant them a measure of compensation that will justify them in taking the awful
risks."

"NO PARKING" SPACE
Space is to be marked off in the
street in front and to one side of the
fpostoffice where vehicles will not be
permitted to park, according to Postmaster Ray H. Weisbrod. The purpose of the "no parking territory" is to make it possible for persons having mail to post to drive up on either side of the postoffice, deposit their mail, and then drive away. When vehicles are parked in front
or on the street north of the federal building it inconveniences the persons driving to the office on postal business, postal officials believe. In the past, cars have been permitted to park
about the building and remain indefinitely.

"To what extent did you use this car
compared with the use of the machine owned before this one?" he was asked.
"I believe I used it more" Mr. Dil
lon replied. "There were many ex
tensions being made at this time and
it was necessary to cover the territo
ry." v
"Frequently the board would ask me
how I was taking care of my car and
they would tell me to put in my bill.
Prosecutor Beckett on cross exami
nation asked Dillon:
Claims Authorization
"Who told you that if you put in
your bill they would authorize the expenditure and it wa,s up to you to get
the money?
"The doctor and the board of works,"
Dillon replied.
"Was any record to that effect ever
made by the board? "I couldn't say."

car cost him approximately $2,125, he

He testified that he had never been informed by the board of works of any arrangement to care for Dillon's machine and did not know that such expenses were being covered by the plant payroll. "As controller, what would you have done if you had known of such a condition?" he was asked. "I would have refused to pay it until I had investigated," he answered. "You would not turn down such a claim if it had been authorized by the board?" "I would if it had come in on the payroll." Mr. Bescher also testified
that he had been unable to find any authorization for the repair of Dillon's car in the board records. Clashes Frequent.
Clashes between Attorneys Reller

was in office.

member of the K. of P. lodge and the
Masons," interjected Mr. Reller. I II
take my chances with anyone who is now city attorney at Richmond," he
added.
Then Mr. Reller rose to his feet "At
any rate I didn't try to pass an ap
propriation for $2,000 in addition to
what I was already receiving, and
then withdraw the ordinance, in order to prosecute a case for the city," he shouted, j "We'll rake our hats off to you, Mr. Reller," said Mr. Kelley. The judge's
gavel silenced the attorneys aod the questioning went on.
CANNOT CONVICT MINE
OWNERS FOR ALLEGED
SERVITUDE OF MORONS
COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 24. The
legal battle between Ohio and Pennsylvania officials over the alleged servitude in a Pennsylvania strip mine
at Turtle Creek, Pa of 14 moron wards of the Ohio Welfare department, which was climaxed yesterday when welfare officers of both states made a night raid on the mining camp and returned the youths to Columbus,
is a closed controversy so far as this
state i3 concerned, Welfare Director MacAyeal declared today.
MacAyeal said he firmly believes
the feeble minded youths were induced
to leave an Ohio institution by the
company operating in Turtle Creek and that they were forced to work as virtual slaves for several month f"There is little chance that we coulJ.j
convict the guilty persons, however,"
he said, "because of the difficulty in
proving the boys were actually in
duced to escape."
This is especially true in view of the
fact that morons' testimony would car
ry no weight In court, MacAyeal said. Tells Details of Raid. Jerry Donovan, superintendent of the institution from which the 14 youth are alleged to have been induced to escape and who assisted Pennsylvania troopers in conducting the raid on the Pennsylvania camp today told details of the raid. "We rushed the strip mine several hours before dawn, going out from Pittsburgh in automobile," he said. "We had taken pains to know just where the lads were sleeping so had no trouble in spotting their tents and dragging them from their cots. "Officers of the camp, apparently well drugged with sleep were too groggy to interfere. We loaded the boys, several of them still sleeping into the cars and started for the Ohio line. We knew the strip mine people would go after habeas corpus papers and try to bring their slaves back, if we didn't make good time." The party arrived in Columbus yes
terday and today the youths were taken to Orient, where the institution for
feeble minded is located.
The thrilling raid climaxed a long
controversy between the welfare departments of the two states.
MacAyeal charged the Pennsylvania
department of welfare had on several occasions denied they had the power
to secure the boys from the mine and
had refused to investigate. His appeal
to the justice departnient, however, got action and the corps of troopers was authorized to make the raid. m. Donovan, who made a trip to Turtl6 Creek in August for the purpose of securing the boy's release said at that time mine officials ran him off the lot with firearms and threatened his life.
