SAYS 'THIRD DEGREE' LED TO POISON ACT Ashner Girl Blames Alleged Abuse for Attempt to Commit Suicide. Charge made by members of the Ashner family that "third degree" tactics they say were used by detectives who Wednesday night and Thursday morning. viMted the home of Abraham Ashner, 30S S. Chapin st., alleged "robber fence" were responsible for Mitss Rachel Ashner, 19-year-old daughter, attempting suicide by drinking carbolic acid, shortly before noon Thursday, were mado Friday to a reporter for The MewsTimes. In answer to questions put to the girl soon after she had returned from Lpworth hospital from which institution ifhe was released soon after being taken there in the police ambulance, any claim that abusive language was addressed to her by any one of tho South Bend detectives was denied. Misa Ashner declared however, as did her two younger brothers that the threo young persons were made subjects of verbal attack by Chicago railroal detectives. At the time of her attempt at suicide, it is said, the detectives were at scattered places in different parts of the house. She was with one of the Chicago detectives in the kitchen, which the bathroom, where she took the pcison, adjoins, when she says she threatened suicide if the detective continued his abusive language. Threatened Suicide. "If you don't stop your insinuations, I'll kill myself," she claims to have answered the detective's remarks, and received another alleged abusive retort from him. She then retired to the bathroom it is said, with a partly filled glass cf water. "Did you drink a solution of acid?" she was asked. "I first poured some acid into the water and drank it," she answered, "and then took the rest of the acid from the bottle." Her younger brother shouted to the detective that his eister had taken poison, it is known, and the detectives came to her assistance. An emetic of milk and egg was swallowed oy the girl and she was able to throw off most of the ecid from hr stomach. With the exception of burns on her mouth and nose, she received little injury as the result of her attempt at suicide. The two detectives left the city for their homes in Chicago Thursday evening. Local detectives on the case have made denials of either ot their number saying anything to the Ashner children from which any offence could be gained. Their denials are substantiated by the Ashner children theroselvrs. Two score pairs of shec. a rart of the merchandise removed by the police from the storeroom and home of Ashner. the girls father and alleged "box-car robbery fence," arrested In Chicago Tue slay night, were identified by railroad detectives Friday morning hp part of the loot takn in a freight train robbery cn the Michigan Central railroad the night cf July 2.

MARSHALL FARMERS SEE INCREASE IN CORN PRODUCTION

County Agent Clarke Explain: How to Eradicate Disease From Stalk. PLYMOUTH. Sept. 16. Marshall county farmers have been flocking ! out to seed corn meetings during the last week and visits were made to the farms of William Idens, near Bourbon; Delbert Bondurant, Bremen; Ed Harsh, near Inwood: C. W. Bunch, Argos. and Charles Welsh, near Tyner. The meetings were under the auspices of the Marshall County Farm ! bureau, with County Agent V. V. Clarke in charge, and the gatherings showed increased enthusiasm. Mr. Clarke is showing the farmers that they have been propagating disease in their corn which creates barren stocks, a trouble which could be eliminated by selecting disease-free cars from healthy stocks in the field. A good ear picked from the crib may be grown beeide a diseased stock and carry the disease from one field to the next, he demonstrated. This has been proved in the ear-to-row corn test plots, which are being conducted in various parts of Marshall county, some rows being albost barren, others producing first-class ears; others carrying a high percentage of disease, while some are practically free. According to the teachings of these demonstrations, the majority of our barren stocks and the diseased ears can be eliminated, and the yield Increased fully 25 per cent on the average by picking for ears which are known to be healthy and which are hardy enough to grow in competition with two or more other stocks from the same hill, thus transmitting the vigor to 'the new crop. Following these meetings, a number of farmers have declared their intention of selecting the best ears Marli BULLS ENCOUNTER OPPOSITION FROM SHORT INTERESTS Professional Traders Again in Undisputed Control of Stoek Exchange. NEW YORK. Sept. 1. Professional traders again were in undisputed control of the stock market Friday, but the bullish or constructive members of that party encountered frequent opposition from the short interests. Dealings were much lighter than on Wednesday, when a new record for seeral months was reached. There were no developments of outstanding importance, dealings being mainly on increasing signs of a relaxation in the money market. Call loans cased from 5 to 41.2 per cent on the exchange at noon, with abundant outsido offerings at 4 per cent. Pools were moet active in equipments, stee ls, motors and oils. Sales amounted to 500,000 shares. Marks Rally. The feature of an otherwise confusing foreign exchange market was a rally of about 6 points in marks. Aside from the absence of pressure in these remittances no explanation was obtainable. Sterling was firm, but rfancs hovered near their recent low quotation. Liberty issues imparted additional strength to the bond market, all but the 3s gaining from 20 to 70 points on the day. Rails also continued to improve, but the foreign group showed mixed gains and losses. Total sales, par, $15,250,000. DEVELOP STRENGTH ON CHICAGO WHEAT MART CHICAGO. Sept. 16. Wheat developed a little strength Friday, helped by word that a new German credit was being arranged. The market closed unsettled at the same as yesterday's finish to ?ic higher, with December $1.29 to $1.29 U and May $1.33 to $1.33 Vi. Corn finished unchanged to Uc lower and oats unchanged to higher. In provisions there were net gains of 2c to 20c. At first the wheat market showed considerable weakness owing largely to a sharp break in sterling exchange. Complete ending of the Argentine drought counted also as a bearish factor, and so too did an apparent lull in export demand. Later, however, sterling turned upward again and more confidence in the foreign financial outlook was shwn. Bullish sentiment was fostered likewise by advices which emphasized rain damage to wheat in shock in the northwest. Estimates of farm holdings of winter wheat Indicated that only a small amount remained to come forward in some sections. Corn wai easy throughout the day. Prospective better export trade tended to strengthen oats. Higher quotations on hogs gave a lift to provisions. Stock Market Selling Prices At The Close NEW YORK. Sept. 18.
