FARMERS TO 1
INSIST UPON
FUTURESLAW
Bloc Members Ready
to Force Action in
Congress.
LETTERS POUR IN
WASHINGTON. June 12.—Farm bloc
Congressmen were determined today that
Congress shall not adjourn this sum
mer until a now grain futures tyjll has
been enacted to take the place of the
one recently knocked out by the United
States Supreme Court.
Heeding the appeals oi people in their
districts, midwest and western Congress
men are united behind the Capper-
Tiniher bill, tmw in the bands of com
mittees at both ends of the capi'oi. At
the House side, those backing the bill
hope to secure a favorable report from
the Agricultural Committee iu time to
allow a vote in the House next Thurs
day. when the Agricultural Committee
has the say as to what legislation is to
come up.
"There is no doubt but that the bill
will pass,'* Representative T’lnoher, Kan
sas, co-author of the measure, said to
day.
FARMERS WRITE
TO CONGRESSMEN.
With the wheat crop about ready to
harvest and the corn crop coming along,
farmers in the western grain belts are
flooding Congress with hundreds of let
ters and telegrams every day, urging
that anew groin futures bill be rushed
through. An alarming situation will con
front the grain producers, they declare,
if they are forced to go into markets at
Chicago, Minneapolis, Kansas City and
other grain trading centers unprotected
by a law placing strict Federal regula
tion on the methods of buying and sell
ing.
The Capper Tincher bill pnt* the grain
exchanges under the direction and su
pervision of the Secretary of Agricul
ture, whose authority in the matter is
established by the fact that the futures
trading is a part of interstate commerce.
The old law, declared unconstitutional
by the Supreme Court, sought to regu
late the exchanges by the imposition of
high Federal faxes.
GRAIN OFFICIALS
ATTACK MEASURE.
Grain exchange officials are attacking
the hill from every angle. One of their
chief complaints is that under the meas
ure the exchanges would soon be under
political management and control. A
provision in the bill authorizing the Roc
retary of Agriculture to substitute Fed
erai weighing and inspection of grains
for State weighing and inspection is a
•joker." the grain dealers charge, de
signed to permit the Secretary of Agri
culture to bulid up a powerful political
machine in control of the grain market
Behind the "joker." It was declared,
is the farm bloc in Congress, "Seeking ;
more power.”
The new futures act is given a good
chance of passing the nouse at an early
date, but in the Senate its fate is more
in doubt, because of the grea* legislative
jam. Senate farm bloc members hope
to sandwich it in between the tariff and
bonus bills.
50 DEAD; 100

a Ferris wheel from its base ct Cl* son
Park and catapulted it through the air
to the beach.
BODIES CRUSHED
AS WHEEL FALLS.
The passengers were hurled to the
ground amid a mass of twisted steel
and their bodies crushed, many of them
almost beyond recognition. One victim,
a woman, remained unidentified today.
The gale swept into the amusement re
sort without an indication of approach
ing storm other than a low-hanging,
seemingly harmless dark cloud.
It was estimated today that two hun
dred craft arouud the city island water
were capsized by the storm and many
of them submerged. Because of this,
police, llfesavers and rescue parties
gave up efforts to console frantic rela
tives and friends and abandoned all pa
trols on the beach to devote their work
exclusively to rescue.
The story of n,ost of the thrilling res
cues will never be told.
Mrs. Mary Petzoid was In a tiny
plenlure craft with six other persons
when the gale swooped down upon them.
The boat tipped over like a leaf. The
passengers were tossed in the waves and
Agnes Kohler, aged 3. was carried on
the crest of a huge billow some distance
from the sinking craft.
Mrs. Petzoid, almost strangled by the
brirne and partially blinded by the heat
ing hail, swam toward the sinking child,
and grasped her.
Both perished.
A crowd of pleasure seekers was danc
ing in the dintng room of the Red Idon
Ir.n. on the Boston post road near Maui
aroneck, when the storm broke.
There was o flash of lightning, ac
companied by a gust of wind. Five
trees were uprooted. One was blown
against the chimney which collapsed,
caving in the roof aud showering the
dancers with bricks.
A tree crashed through the wall of the
inn and killed Mrs. B. A. Wanna and her
daughter. Rosa.
Mrs. Sarah Mirkin, sister-in-law, was
injured.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, June 12.—With
three known dead and more than twen

the waters of Buckeye Lake, near hero,
for more victims of the tornado which
swept th? resort last night.
Five of the hundreds of small pleasure

WAR RAW. Ind., June 12 —Fresh straw
berry [lies and pies of several other
varieties were selling today in Warsaw
at 3 cents each.
On Friday a local bakery here re
ceived an order for 4'Xt pies for con
sumption by delegates in attendance at
the annual international convention of
the Church of the Brethren at Winona
Lake. The only specification was that
tiie pies were to be nine inches in diam
eter. Not until the delivery of the pies
! was about to be made did the
bakery discover that its pie tins were
: only eight inches in diameter. The pies
; were refused and it tv a a found impossible
: to agree on a compromise.
Then an order for CUO nine-inch pics
was placed with another bakery here and
i the pies were started for Winona Lake on
i a motor truck operated bv a Warsaw
j drayman. The vehicle turned out for an
automobile, descended a slight embank
ment and landed on its side in a ditch.
A hundred of the pies were destroyed,
but the others came up to specifications
and were paid for.

Under the law passed by Congress, the
War Depart merit was instructed to turn
over to the Department of Agriculture
surplus materials suitable for use, rou
st ruction or maintenance of roads. The
Depart moot of Agriculture, through 'lie
bureau of roads, sends out lists of ma
teria! tr,ailable frequently to the State
highway commission. These lists include
almost everything. The practice of the
Indiana highway commission lias been
to send word that Indiana would take
In r quota of whatever material Is avail
able. In this way much that could be
used aiul much that could not has been
received.
In a period of one month the commis
sion paid freight bills amounting to ap
proximately $20.00,) on surplus war ma
terial. For n consignment of st-el rails
the commission paid freight amounting
to $7.5,000. These rails could not be used
by the highway department and many
were sold, others put In use at tile penal
farm and others saved for truckage at
the new* reformatory.
T.he bureau of roads, according to a
Wnrhingtoii dispatch, Is of the opinion
that the title* to all material sent to the
stato should remain in the United States
Government. Secretary of War Weeks, in
a statement, questioned tho propriety of j
the sale of surplus property by the varl- !
oua State*. j
‘Rewarding the Profiteer ’
CINCINNATI, Ohio, June 12.—During these days when the Department of
Justice Is endeavoring to regain large sums alleged to have been overpaid
to war contractors, the executive council of the American Federation of La
bor, in its'annual report made public here today, expresses astonishment at
a bill recently introduced in the Senate.
Under the heading "Rewarding the Profiteer,” the report says:
“During the war if any one had proposed to remit the fine imposed on
profiteers in food stuffs it would have created an uproar. However, Sen
ator Elkins of West Virginia (a State often referred to ns being in a foreign
country), evidently beli-ves that the people have not only forgotten but for
given the profiteers. Therefore, he Introduced a bill in the House (S. 311)3)
providing for the refunding of nil tines levied during and since the war on
every person, partnership, association and corporation convicted of vio
lation of the food control act, otherwise the Lever Act. The money for the
purpose is to be taken from the Treasury of the United States. A most
remarkable feature of this bill Is the fact that it did not create a ripple in
Cougress and even tho uewspapers did not see anything astonishing in its
provisions.”

REPORT SHOWS
COMPANY PAID
WITHOUT RIGHT
Receiver Asks Court to Send
Midwestern Facts to Prose
cuting Attorney.
The Mid-Western Financing Corpora
tion was operating on no capita), paying
interest on bonds out of the principal
and was perpe' rating a fraud upon in
vestors, according to a receiver's report
submitted to Judge Solon J. Carter in
Superior Court Hoorn 3 today by John
T. Jameson, receiver. Mr. Jatneson rec
ommended that a copy of the report be
sent to the prosecuting attorney of Mar
ion County anil to the United States dis
trict attorney for Indiana, in order that
the Federal grand jury might Investi
gate alleged use of the mails to defraud.
In the report II is stated that the
corporation was organized May 1(1. 10 is,
with no capital slock. The business of
(lie concern was the buying and selling
of automobile purchasing contracts. An
issue of SIOO,OOO in *! per cent profit-shar
ing debentures was authorized.
ihe investigator found that debenture
bonds to the amount of $183,100 had
been sold according to the report. Tii*-
company was never solvent, according to
the report, and the expense of operation
and the interest on the bon-ls were paid
out of the principal received through the
sale of the bonds.
A shortage of $2,300.12 exists on the
books of the company, the report further
states.
Most of tho operations of the sales
men of tiie bonds were carried on In .Sr.
Joseph County, aud in the southern part
of Michigan the report says. Agents
received a commission of 10 per cent for
their sales. ,
The petition for receiver, filed some
time ago, was made in the name of James
G. Mott, treasurer and vice president of
the company. Other officers were presi
dent, John S. Hunt; secretary, Harry
H Mott. In addition to these men, the
board of directors consisted of Howard
L. Holcomb and Charles J. Murphy.
SHRINERS IN
CONTINUOUS
ROUND OF JOY
Thousands From All Over Na
tion Gather for Week’s Con
clave in ’Frisco.
KAN FRANCISCO. June 12.—San Fran
cisco today became one continuous band
concert plus thousands of men—in years
out of their boyhood, but turning time
backward for n week. Garbed iu the
colors of Joseph's coat, they paraded the
streets, having a rip-roaring good time.
The Shriners hit tho village thirty
thousand strong, from Florida to Maine
and way ports.
And the village responded by decorat
ing Itself in radiant colors, trotting out ;
the lighting effects which won fame for
Its exposition in 1315 and dragging from!
the 'filar the old two-gallon hats, among j
other things.
AT day. every time sh minute hands j
of the clock moved forward, another “;>e- i
cial fra 'll dumped its largo, of carefree'
STrlners. bent 011 a good time, into Sau
Francisco.
Almost without exception, the cere
miy was- tl..* same every •'one shook
hards nil around and gome one said:
"Form In line, boys—let's have a pa
ra,!”."
S" the band would strike up an air, a
corpulent drum major would launch into
his gyrations ami Kan Francisco would
have another band concert and parade. '
For the week San Francisco w',ll think
of nothing but In terms of the Mystic
Shrine. The civic center park has been
Dimed into mi Arabian garden, where
weird lights play on a veritable fairy- ■
load at night.
The dome of the City Hall yielded '
readily to treatment and became a first
class mosque. There isn t a vacant ho- -
tel room in the ilty.
Serious business of th conclave be- ;
gan today. 1
As to the fun, most of the Khriners {
seem able to care for themselves, but !
San Francisco lias enough surprises up
its sleeves to fill in the moments when
time drags. _________

had terrible hcatlnches and dizzy spell*
when I could hardly stand, anil got so

and I fell off in weight and got so thin
anil weak I could scarcely do any work.
"Well it seemed nothing would help

But Tanlac seemed to help me right from

Osawatomie, Kans. —Mrs. E. E.
Keast, formerly of Illinois, residing
here, says: “We moved to this state
eleven years ago, and I had good
health for a long while; and then
6ome year cr so ago I had a bad sick

“I got so weak I couldn’t go. I
couldn’t stand on my feet at all. I
had to go to bed.
“I suffered a great deal. I was so
nervous I felt I couldn’t live.
“I tried medicines, and everything;
had the best of attention, yet I wasn’t
able to get up.
“I lay for three months, not able to
do anything.
“My husband is a hill poster and
has circulars distributed. One day
there chanced to be a Ladles’ Birth
day Almanac among his circulars. I
read it, and told some of the family to
get me a bottle of Cardui. They
laughed and said I wouldn’t take it.
But I did. I began with a tablesyoon
fui every two hours.
“I quit all other medicines and took
it (Cardui) faithfully, and two weeks
from the time [ began to take Cardui
I was out of bed—better than for
months.
“I kept it up and continued to im
